1. This Agreement. This agreement, together with Exhibit A and Exhibit B (collectively, the “Agreement”), sets forth the terms and conditions of a performance share unit award representing the right to receive shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of Apogee Enterprises, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”). This Agreement is issued pursuant to the Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), and subject to its terms.

2. The Grant. The Company hereby grants to the individual named above (the “Employee”), as of the above Grant Date, a performance share unit award entitling the Employee to the number of performance share units (the “Units”) equal to the “Target Award Number” set forth above (such number of units, the “Target Award Number”). Each Unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock, subject to the vesting requirements of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan. The number of Units that vest under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Vested Award Number,” and the shares of Common Stock distributable to the Employee with respect to the Units vested hereunder are referred to as the “Shares.”

3. Performance Period. The “Performance Period” for purposes of determining the Vested Award Number shall be fiscal years 20     through 20    .

4. Performance Goals. The performance goals for purposes of determining the Vested Award Number are set forth in the attached Exhibit B.

5. Vesting. The number of Units that will vest (i.e., the Vested Award Number) will be based on whether and to what extent the threshold, target or maximum performance level of the performance goals is achieved, as set forth in the attached Exhibit B and as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) in its sole discretion. The Target Award Number will be increased to the Maximum Award Number set forth above if the Company’s performance goals are achieved at the maximum level or decreased to zero if the Company’s performance goals are not achieved at the threshold performance level. The Threshold Award Number set forth above represents the number of Units that would vest if the Company achieves the performance goals at the threshold level. The determination of the Vested Award Number will occur as soon as practicable after the Committee determines, in its sole discretion after the end of the Performance Period, whether, and the extent to which, the performance goals have been achieved; provided that in no event will such determination be made later than 60 days following the end of the Performance Period (the “Determination Date”).

6. Restrictions on Transfer. The Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any such attempted transfer shall be void.

7. Forfeiture. In the event the Employee’s employment is terminated during the Performance Period, the Units shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited, unless the Employee’s termination is by reason of:

• involuntary termination without Cause (as defined in the attached Exhibit A),

• Retirement (as defined in the attached Exhibit A),

• Disability (as defined in the attached Exhibit A), or

• death.

In the event the Employee’s employment is terminated prior to the end of the Performance Period by reason of involuntary termination without Cause, the Employee shall be entitled to retain a pro-rata portion (based on the

1

amount of time elapsed between the beginning of the Performance Period and the date of termination) of the Units after the end of the Performance Period to the extent that the threshold, target or maximum performance level of the performance goals is achieved, as set forth in the attached Exhibit B and as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. In the event the Employee’s employment is terminated prior to the end of the Performance Period by reason of Retirement, Disability or death, the Employee or the Employee’s estate, as applicable, shall be entitled to retain the Units after the end of the Performance Period to the extent that the threshold, target or maximum performance level of the performance goals is achieved, as set forth in the attached Exhibit B and as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Performance Period shall be deemed to end on the date of the Change in Control and the Employee shall be entitled to retain the Units to the extent that the threshold, target or maximum performance level of the performance goals is achieved, as adjusted for the truncated Performance Period and determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

8. Distribution of Shares with Respect to Units. As soon as administratively feasible following the Determination Date and the Employee’s satisfaction of any required tax withholding obligations (but in no event later than 60 days following the end of the Performance Period), the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to the Employee a certificate or certificates evidencing Shares registered in the name of the Employee or in the name of the Employee’s legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as the case may be.

9. Rights as Shareholder; Dividend Equivalents. Prior to the distribution of Shares with respect to Units, the Employee shall not have ownership or rights of ownership of any Shares underlying the Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee shall accumulate an unvested right to payment of cash dividend equivalents on the Shares underlying Units if cash dividends are declared by the Company’s Board of Directors on the Common Stock on or after the Grant Date. The Employee shall be entitled solely to payment of accumulated dividend equivalents with respect to a number of Units equal to the Vested Award Number. Such dividend equivalents will be in an amount of cash per vested Unit equal to the cash dividend paid with respect to a share of outstanding Common Stock. Dividend equivalents will be paid to the Employee on the date that the Shares are distributed to the Employee. The Employee shall not be entitled to dividend equivalents with respect to dividends declared prior to the Grant Date. All dividend equivalents accumulated with respect to forfeited Units shall also be irrevocably forfeited.

10. Income Taxes. The Employee is liable for any federal, state and local income or other taxes applicable upon the receipt of the Shares, the lapse of restrictions relating to the Units or the subsequent disposition of any of the Shares, and the Employee acknowledges that he or she should consult with his or her own tax advisor regarding the applicable tax consequences. Dividend equivalents accrued with respect to dividends declared before the delivery of the Shares underlying the Units will be treated as compensation income for tax purposes and will be subject to income and payroll tax withholding by the Company. Upon issuance of the Shares, the Employee shall promptly pay to the Company in cash, and/or the Company may withhold from the Employee’s compensation or from the Shares or any cash payable in lieu of some or all of such Shares an amount necessary to pay, all applicable taxes required by the Company to be withheld or collected upon such issuance of Shares.

11. Acknowledgment. This award of Units shall not be effective until the Employee dates and signs the form of Acknowledgment below and returns a signed copy of this Agreement to the Company. By signing the Acknowledgment, the Employee agrees to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan and acknowledges receipt of a copy of the prospectus related to the Plan.
