A Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) Award (the “Award”) granted by Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to the employee named above (the “Grantee”), relating to the common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and the provisions of the Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. 2024 Stock Plan (“Plan”), a copy of which is attached hereto and the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference:

1.Acceptance by Xxxxxxx

The receipt of the Award is conditioned upon its acceptance by the Grantee no later than 30 days from the date the Agreement was delivered, provided however, if the Grantee shall fail to accept this Award by the due date, the Grantee’s Award shall be deemed accepted by the Grantee unless the Grantee has notified the Company in writing prior to the due date that he or she declines to accept the Award.

2.Grant of RSUs

The Company hereby grants to the Grantee the Award of RSUs, as set forth above. An RSU is the right, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, to receive a distribution of a share of Common Stock for each RSU as described in Section 6 or Section 10 of this Agreement.

3.RSU Account

The Company shall maintain an account (“RSU Account”) on its books in the name of the Grantee which shall reflect the number of RSUs awarded to the Grantee and any dividend equivalents paid to the Grantee as described in Section 4.

4.Dividend Equivalents

Upon the payment of any dividends on Common Stock occurring during the period preceding the date the RSUs are settled in Common Stock and distributed to the Grantee as described in Section 6 or Section 10, the Company shall credit the Grantee’s RSU Account with an amount equal in value to the dividends that the Grantee would have received had the Grantee been the actual owner of the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the RSUs in the

    1    

Xxxxxxx’s RSU Account on that date. Such amounts shall be paid to the Grantee in cash at the time and to the extent the RSUs are distributed to the Grantee. Any dividend equivalents relating to RSUs that are forfeited shall also be forfeited.

5.Vesting

(a)Except as described in (b), (c) and (d) below, the Grantee shall become vested in this Award as set forth above (the “Vesting Date”), if the Grantee remains in continuous employment with the Company or its affiliates until such date.

(b)If the Grantee’s employment with the Company and its affiliates terminates prior to the Vesting Date due to death or disability, the Award shall become vested on the date of such termination of employment. For this purpose “disability” means (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) the inability of the Grantee to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which is expected to result in death or disability or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months.

(c)If the Grantee’s employment with the Company and its affiliates terminates prior to the Vesting Date due to retirement, the Award shall continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth above, provided that if the Grantee dies after retirement and prior to the Vesting Date, the Award shall become vested on the date of such death. For this purposes (i) “retirement” means termination of the Grantee’s employment for any reason other than Cause on or after the Grantee’s attainment of age sixty (60) and five (5) years of service, (ii) “Cause” means: (A) conviction of a felony connected with the Grantee’s employment with the Company or its subsidiaries, (B) misappropriation or theft of property of the Company or its subsidiaries, (C) gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the Grantee's duties, (D) any act of fraud against the Company or its subsidiaries, and (E) any unauthorized dissemination of confidential information or trade or business secrets of the Company or its subsidiaries, and (iii) “years of service” means years of continuous employment with the Company or its affiliates, provided that (A) a break in employment of less than twelve (12) months will be counted as continued employment and a break in employment of twelve (12) or more months will result in the exclusion of the pre-break employment and (B) employment will include any service as a non-employee director on the Board.

(d)The Award shall be forfeited to the Company upon the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company and its affiliates for any reason other than the Grantee’s death, disability or retirement (as described above) that occurs prior to the Vesting Date.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 5 shall be subject to the provisions of any written employment security agreement or severance agreement that has been or may be executed by the Grantee and the Company, and the provisions in such employment security agreement or severance agreement concerning the lapse of restrictions of an Award in connection with the Grantee’s termination of employment shall supersede any inconsistent or contrary provision of this Section 5, to the extent the terms of such agreement would provide for greater vesting. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to the extent not covered by such employment security agreement or severance agreement.

6.Settlement of RSUs

If a Grantee becomes vested in this Award in accordance with Section 5, the Company shall distribute to the Grantee, or the Grantee’s personal representative, beneficiary or estate, as applicable, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of vested RSUs subject to the Award, plus any related dividend equivalents as described in Section 4.

9.Change in Control

(a)In the event of a Change in Control, as defined in the Plan, unless the Award is continued or assumed by a public company in an equitable manner, the RSU shall become fully vested immediately prior to the Change in Control as if the time vesting criterion set forth in Section 5(a) had been met. The Award shall settle in accordance with Section 6 or if applicable, Section 10.

(b)If the Award is continued or assumed by a public company in an equitable manner, then the vesting of the Award shall be contingent only upon the Grantee’s employment through the Vesting Date unless there is a Qualifying Termination within one year following the Change in Control.
