On April27, 2017,
the Board made a performance-based retention incentive award to
Joseph F. Puishys, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, and
approved a form of CEO evaluation-based performance retention
incentive agreement (the CEO Evaluation-Based Retention Incentive
Agreement).

The CEO
Evaluation-Based Retention Incentive Agreement establishes a
one-year, evaluation-based performance award under the
shareholder-approved Executive MIP. Under the CEO
Evaluation-Based Retention Incentive Agreement, the amount of the
award earned, if any, will be based upon the average rating
Mr.Puishys receives on the annual performance evaluation
conducted by the Board and the amount of the award earned will
then be deferred into the 2011 Deferred Compensation Plan (the
2011 Deferred Compensation Plan), a copy of which is on file with

8-K filed on October12, 2010, as amended by the First Amendment

may award
Mr.Puishys a percentage of the bonus pool that the Committee will
establish to the Executive MIP each year. The bonus pool will be
set as a percentage of a financial performance metric selected by
the Committee. The financial performance metric used to establish
the bonus pool under the Executive MIP for fiscal 2018 is
operating income. The performance evaluation criteria for fiscal
2018 for Mr.Puishys are based upon acquisition integration,
architectural framing systems segment organizational design,
capacity planning and business unit strategic goals.

All of the award
earned will then be deferred under the 2011 Deferred Compensation
Plan. The amount deferred is forfeitable unless Mr.Puishys
remains employed until April28, 2019 (the Evaluation-Based
Retention Period). In the event Mr.Puishys employment is
terminated prior to the end of the Evaluation-Based Retention
Period, the amount awarded to the CEO Evaluation-Based Retention
Incentive Agreement shall be immediately and irrevocably
forfeited. In the case of Mr.Puishys death or disability,
Mr.Puishys, or his estate, as applicable, shall receive a
pro-rata portion of the award. In the case of a Change in
Control, as defined in the CEO Evaluation-Based Retention
Incentive Agreement, the Evaluation-Based Retention Period shall
end on the date of the Change in Control, and the award shall be
adjusted by the Committee in its sole discretion. The award shall
be subject to the Companys Clawback Policy.

Under the CEO
Evaluation-Based Retention Incentive Agreement, Mr.Puishys may
receive an award of up to 60% of the 2018 Bonus Pool that the
Committee has established. If the Board determines that
Mr.Puishys has met or exceeded his performance evaluation
criteria for fiscal 2018, Mr.Puishys will earn an award ranging
from $233,750 at target up to $467,500 at maximum. There is no
threshold performance level for an award under the CEO
Evaluation-Based Retention Incentive Agreement; however, the
Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, to reduce the
award or that no award should be made.

Evaluation-Based Retention Incentive Agreement used in
conjunction with retention incentive awards under the Executive
MIP, including the award made to Mr.Puishys described above, is
