Eagle Materials Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and ______________ (the "Grantee") hereby enter into this Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the "Agreement") in order to set forth the terms and conditions of the Company’s award (the "Award") to the Grantee of certain shares of Common Stock of the Company granted to the Grantee on June 10, 2015 (the "Award Date").

1. Award.  The Company hereby awards to the Grantee _________ shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Shares").  

2. Relationship to the Plan.  The Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Eagle Materials Inc. Amended and Restated Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), this Agreement and such administrative interpretations of the Plan, if any, as may be in effect on the date of this Agreement.  Except as defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them under the Plan.  For purposes of this Agreement:

(a) “Disability” shall be determined by the Committee.

(b) “Return on Equity” for any fiscal year shall mean:  (i) the Net Earnings of the Company (net of any discontinued operations) for such fiscal year; divided by (ii) the Company’s Average Stockholders’ Equity for such fiscal year.

(c) “Average Stockholders’ Equity” for any period shall mean:  (i) the Company’s Total Stockholders’ Equity as of the beginning of such period plus the Company’s Total Stockholders’ Equity at the end of such period; divided by (ii) 2.

(d) “Retirement” shall mean a retirement approved by the Board.

(e) “Service Vesting Date” means the first, second, third or fourth anniversary of the end of the Performance Period, as applicable.

(f) “Performance Period” shall mean the period commencing on April 1, 2015 and ending on March 31, 2016.

3. Vesting.

(a) Vesting Criteria.  The Grantee’s interest in the Shares shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth below in this Section 3(a) (each such vesting date, a “Vesting Date”) only if the Return on Equity for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 is at least 12.5% (the “Performance Criteria”); provided, that the percentage of the Shares that will be earned shall be based on the following:

Performance Percentage
Criteriaof Shares
> 17.5%100%

15.0% 87%

12.5% 74%

; provided, further, that the exact percentage of Shares earned shall be calculated based on straight-line interpolation between the points shown above with fractional points rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent; provided, further, that if the Performance Criteria is satisfied, the Compensation Committee may exercise negative discretion and provide that the Grantee shall earn less than the above-calculated percentage of the Shares after taking into consideration the extent to which the Grantee has achieved his/her individual goals attached hereto as Exhibit A. After the end of the Performance Period, the Compensation Committee shall certify whether and to what extent the Performance Criteria has been satisfied (“Certification Date”), and if so, to what extent (if any) the Compensation Committee will exercise negative discretion to provide that the Grantee shall earn less than the above-calculated percentage of the Shares (such earned Shares shall then be considered “Earned But Unvested Shares” hereunder). Such Earned But Unvested Shares shall vest one-fifth on the third business day following the Certification Date and then ratably on the next four Service Vesting Dates.  Prior to the Certification Date, all Shares shall be considered “Unvested Shares.” If the Performance Criteria has not been satisfied then the Shares shall be immediately and automatically forfeited.  Upon the Certification Date, any portion of the Shares that are not earned in accordance with the provisions above shall be forfeited.

(b) Restrictions.  The period beginning on the Award Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the Vesting Date for a Share shall be known as the restriction period (the “Restriction Period”).  During the Restriction Period, the Grantee may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of any unvested Shares or any right or interest related to such unvested Shares, other than as required by the Grantee’s will or beneficiary designation, in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution or by a qualified domestic relations order.

(c) Cancellation Right.  Subject to Section 4, the Grantee must be in continuous service as an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates or as a Director from the Award Date through the applicable Vesting Date for an unvested Share to become vested.  Subject to Section 4, Grantee’s termination of employment and, if applicable, service as a Director prior to the Vesting Date shall cause the unvested Shares to be automatically forfeited as of such discontinuation of service date.

(d) Calculations.  The Committee shall have the authority to approve the calculations involving the "Return on Equity for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016" for purposes of vesting, and its approval of such calculations shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties; provided, that the computation shall be adjusted to account for any business acquisition or disposition that occurs after the Award Date and shall not include the effect of any share repurchases.

4. Change-in-Control; Death or Disability; Retirement.  The restrictions set forth above in Section 3 shall lapse with respect to any Shares (in the case of a Change in Control) or Earned But Unvested Shares (in the case of termination of employment and, if applicable, discontinuation of service as a Director by reason of death, Disability or Retirement) not previously forfeited and the remaining shares of this Award shall become fully vested without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 3 above, provided that the Grantee has been in continuous employment with the Company or any of its

- 2 -

Affiliates or has been in continuous service as a Director from the Award Date through:  (A) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Exhibit B to this Agreement), unless either:  (i) the Committee determines that the terms of the transaction giving rise to the Change in Control provide that the Award is to be replaced within a reasonable time after the Change in Control with an award of equivalent value of shares of the surviving parent corporation, or (ii) the Award is to be settled in cash in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 4, or (B) Grantee’s termination of employment and, if applicable, discontinuation of service as a Director by reason of death, Disability or Retirement.  Upon a Change in Control, pursuant to Section 15 of the Plan, the Company may, in its discretion, settle the Award by a cash payment that the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion is equal to the fair market value of the Award on the date of such event.

5. Stockholder Rights.  The Grantee shall have the right to vote the Shares.  On the first dividend payment date following the Certification Date, the Grantee shall be entitled to a cash dividend payment equal to:  (i) the sum of per share dividends paid with respect to Common Stock during the period from the Award Date to the Certification Date; provided, the record date for such dividend payment is on or after the Award Date; times (ii) the number of Earned But Unvested Shares.  The Grantee shall also have the right to receive any cash dividends paid on Earned But Unvested Shares after the Certification Date at the same time such amounts are paid with respect to all other shares of Common Stock.

6. Capital Adjustments and Corporate Events.  If, from time to time during the term of the Restriction Period, there is any capital adjustment affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration, the Shares shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 15 of the Plan.  Any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which the Grantee may be entitled by reason of the Grantee’s ownership of the Shares hereunder because of a capital adjustment shall be immediately subject to the restrictions set forth herein and included thereafter as Shares for purposes of this Agreement.  

7. Refusal to Transfer.  

The Company shall not be required:

(a) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan; or

(b) to treat such purchaser or other transferee as owner of such Shares, accord such purchaser or other transferee the right to vote; or pay or deliver dividends or other distributions to such purchaser or other transferee with respect to such Shares.

8. Legends.  If the Shares are certificated, the certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares, if any, issued hereunder shall be endorsed with the following legend:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED, OR IN ANY MANNER DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN CONFORMITY WITH THE TERMS OF THAT CERTAIN RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES.  A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS MAINTAINED AT THE ISSUER’S PRINCIPAL CORPORATE OFFICES.

9. Tax Consequences.  The Grantee has reviewed with the Grantee’s own tax advisors the federal, state, and local tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Grantee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Grantee understands that the Grantee (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Grantee’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Grantee understands that Section 83 of the Code taxes as ordinary income the difference between the purchase price, if any, for the Shares and the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the date any restrictions on the Shares lapse. In this context, “restriction” means the restrictions imposed during the Restriction Period. The Grantee understands that the Grantee may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are awarded rather than when and as the restrictions lapse by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the Award Date.  THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE GRANTEE’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY (AND NOT THE COMPANY’S) TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(B), EVEN IF THE GRANTEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON THE GRANTEE’S BEHALF.

10. Withholding of Taxes.  At the time and to the extent vested Shares become compensation income to the Grantee for federal or state income tax purposes, the Grantee either shall deliver to the Company such amount of money as required to meet the Company’s minimum withholding obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations, or, in lieu of cash, the Grantee, in his or her sole discretion, may elect to surrender, or direct the Company to withhold from the vested Shares, shares of Common Stock in such number as necessary to satisfy the Company’s minimum tax withholding obligations.  Further, any dividends paid to you pursuant to Section 5 above prior to the end of the Restriction Period will generally be subject to federal, state and local withholding, as appropriate, as additional compensation.

11. Entire Agreement; Governing Law.  The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Company and the Grantee (collectively, the “Parties”) with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Grantee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Parties.  Nothing in the Plan and this Agreement (except as expressly provided therein or herein) is intended to confer any rights or remedies on any person other than the Parties.  The Plan and this Agreement are to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any choice-of-law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Texas to the rights and duties of the Parties.  Should any provision of the Plan or this Agreement relating to the Shares be determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the fullest extent allowed by law and the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable.

12. Interpretive Matters.  Whenever required by the context, pronouns and any variation thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa.  The term “include” or “including” does not denote or imply any limitation.  The term “business day” means any Monday through Friday other than such a day on which banks are authorized to be closed in the State of Texas.  The captions and headings used in this Agreement are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed a part of the Award or this Agreement for construction or interpretation.  

13. Notice.  Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed given, effective, and received upon prepaid delivery in person or by courier or upon the earlier of delivery or the third business day after deposit in the United States mail

- 4 -

if sent by certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other Party at its address as shown beneath its signature in this Agreement, or to such other address as such Party may designate in writing from time to time by notice to the other Party.

14. Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Grantee, the Company and their respective permitted successors and assigns (including personal representatives, heirs and legatees), except that the Grantee may not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement except to the extent and in the manner expressly permitted herein.
