3.1 The Company shall employ the Executive and the Executive shall serve the Company as President of the Company and as Executive Vice President and President, Europe of JELD-WEN Holding, or in such other related capacity as the Company or JELD-WEN Holding shall direct. In addition to the duties which these positions normally entail (including those set out at clause 4 of this Agreement), the Executive shall also carry out such other duties as the Company may require him to perform from time to time. The Company may at any time remove from, add to or otherwise vary any of the Executive’s duties.

3.2 The employment of the Executive under this Agreement shall begin on the Commencement Date. The Executive's period of continuous employment with the Company began on 16 September 2015.

3.3 Without prejudice to any other term of this Agreement providing for earlier termination, the Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall continue until this Agreement shall be terminated by either party giving to the other not less than twelve (12) months’ written notice of termination.

3.4 The Executive warrants that by entering into this Agreement and performing his obligations under it, he will not be in breach of any terms or obligations under any previous or other agreement relating to his employment with any third party. The Executive hereby undertakes to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and any Group Company against all claims, costs, damages, liabilities and expense which the Company or any Group Company may incur in connection with any claim that he is or was not so at liberty.

3.5 The Executive’s employment with the Company is subject to and conditional upon his being entitled to be lawfully employed by the Company in the UK and the Executive providing evidence, satisfactory to the Company, of the same. The Executive will not be permitted to commence employment unless and until he has done this to the Company’s satisfaction. The Executive agrees to immediately notify the Company about any change to his entitlement to work for the Company in the UK, including, but not limited to, the cessation of such entitlement. If the Executive’s lawful employment in the UK is subject to the Company making an application for a visa, permission or any other approval in respect of the same, it is a condition of the Executive’s employment that he cooperates with any such application and provides the Company with any information, assistance and documents as the Company may specify.

3.6 Should the Executive:

(a) cease, or appear in the Company’s belief to have ceased, to be entitled to be lawfully employed by the Company in the UK;

(b) fail to provide upon request documents to demonstrate that he is entitled to be lawfully employed by the Company in the UK; or

(c) not provide the Company with such information, assistance or documents as it may specify in relation to any application relating to the Executive’s lawful employment in the UK,

the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment without notice and without compensation or payment in lieu of notice.

3.7 The Company shall be entitled from time to time and at its sole and absolute discretion to appoint another person to act jointly with the Executive, including without limitation in circumstances where the Executive is suspended (whether pursuant to clause 13.4 of this Agreement or otherwise) or at any time after either party has served notice to terminate the Executive’s employment or otherwise purports to do so.

3.8 The Executive shall comply with any rules, policies and procedures set out in the Company’s staff handbook and JELD-WEN Holding’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, copies of which have been given to the Executive. The staff handbook and JELD-WEN Holding’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics do not form part of the Executive’s contract of employment with the Company, and the Company and/or JELD-WEN Holding may amend them at any time. To the extent that there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement, the staff handbook and JELD-WEN Holding’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, this Agreement shall prevail.

6 REMUNERATION AND EXPENSES

6.1 During the continuance of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement the Company shall pay to the Executive, as remuneration for his services hereunder, a salary at the rate of £246,400 (two hundred and forty-six thousand four hundred pounds) per annum as from the Commencement Date.

(a) payable by equal monthly instalments in arrears on or around the 28th day of each month (or such other time as determined by the Company) by credit transfer direct into his nominated bank account;

(b) insures such car used for business use in such manner as the Board shall reasonably determine,

6.5 Any payment made to the Executive under this clause shall be payable together with and in the same manner as the salary in accordance with clause 6.2. The car allowance shall not be treated as part of the Executive’s basic salary for any purpose and shall not be pensionable.

6.6 The Executive shall be entitled to be reimbursed in respect of any fuel costs incurred whilst carrying out his duties under this Agreement at HMRC’s approved rates as amended from time to time, subject to the Executive providing the Company with receipts or other evidence satisfactory to the Company that the Executive has properly incurred such cost.

At the date of this Agreement, the Executive’s target annual bonus under the MIP in respect of each fiscal year of JELD-WEN Holding is 60% of the salary set out in Clause 6.1 (as reviewed from time to time) and the Executive’s maximum annual bonus is 120% of this salary. The Board of Directors of JELD-WEN Holding shall review, and may adjust in its sole discretion, such bonus targets each year when it sets target bonuses for the MIP. Any annual bonus paid to the Executive shall be in addition to the salary and to any and all other benefits to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement. The Executive’s entitlement to participate in and rights under the MIP remain at all times subject to the terms and conditions of the MIP as in force from time to time.

6.8 The Executive shall be entitled to participate in JELD-WEN Holding’s 2017 Omnibus Equity Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) or any successor plan. The Executive’s rights under and entitlement to participate in any long-term incentive plans under this clause 6.8 remain at all times subject to the terms and conditions of that long-term incentive plan as in force from time to time (and which may be amended by the Company and/or JELD-WEN Holding in their absolute discretion at any time).

6.9 Except as otherwise provided in the applicable plan or award agreement, to be eligible for any payment or award under the MIP, the Omnibus Plan or any other plan in which the Executive participates, the Executive must have remained in employment with the Company under this Agreement for the entire duration of the reference period (as determined by the Company and/or the Group Company) in respect of which the payment or award is assessed (the “Reference Period”) and must not have been under notice of termination (whether given by the Company or by the Executive) at any point during the Reference Period.

6.10 Except as otherwise provided in the applicable plan or award agreement, the Executive shall not receive payment of any payment or award under the MIP, the Omnibus Plan or any other plan in which the Executive participates if he is no longer in employment with the Company on the date appointed by the Company and/or any Group Company for the payment of any such payment or award.

6.11 For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive’s rights under and entitlement to any payment or award under the MIP, the Omnibus Plan or any other plan, remains at all times subject to the terms and conditions and/or rules of the applicable plan or award agreement.

6.12 In the event of a CIC Qualifying Termination, all Stock Options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or similar equity incentives shall fully and immediately vest upon termination of Executive’s employment and all Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) or similar equity incentives shall vest at prorated target levels upon termination. In the event of a Non-CIC Qualifying Termination, all equity awards shall be treated in accordance with the rules of the applicable plan or award agreement.

6.13 Any payment or award paid under the MIP, the Omnibus Plan or any other plan will not be pensionable.

6.14 The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable travelling, hotel and other out-of-pocket expenses which he may properly incur in the carrying out of his duties and which the Company may approve. The Executive’s entitlement to reimbursement of any expense in accordance with this clause 6.12 shall be conditional upon the Executive providing the Company with receipts or other evidence satisfactory to the Company that the Executive has properly incurred that expense.

6.15 The Executive hereby authorises the Company to deduct from his salary, or any other sums due to him from the Company or any other Group Company, any sums due from the Executive to the Company or any other Group Company, including without limitation any overpayment of salary or accrued holiday pay.

6.16 The Company shall be entitled to perform any of its obligations under this clause 6 either by itself or through any other Group Company.

7 PENSION AND INSURANCES

7.1 The Executive has indicated to the Company that he has already reached his maximum lifetime allowance. The Executive therefore confirms that he does not intend to participate in the JELD-WEN UK Retirement Plan (the “Pension Scheme”). On this basis and because the Executive is, at the date of this Agreement, a statutory director of the Company, the Company is exercising its discretion not to automatically enrol the Executive in the Pension Scheme or any other pension scheme.

7.2 The Executive shall be entitled to participate in the following:

(a) the Company's private medical insurance scheme (for the benefit of the Executive, his spouse or civil partner and dependents);

(b) the Company's life assurance scheme; and

(c) the Company's permanent health insurance scheme,

at such rates of benefits as may from time to time be determined by the Company in accordance with and subject always to the terms of the relevant scheme for the time being in force and as amended from time to time.

7.3 The Company may at any time withdraw any such private health insurance cover, permanent health insurance/disability or group life assurance arrangements or similar cover without providing any replacement for them. The Executive acknowledges that as the benefits are insured arrangements, the payment of any benefit is subject to the discretion of the insurers and subject to the terms and conditions of the respective scheme. The Company has no obligation to assist the Executive in the advancement of any claim he may make, nor any obligation to make any payment to the Executive should the insurer refuse to pay for whatever reason.

7.4 The Executive’s activities as a director of the Company, as an officer of JELD-WEN Holding and as an officer of any other Group Company will be covered by Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance to the same level and extent as such cover is in force and available to other such directors.

7.5 The Executive’s eligibility to participate in or receive benefits from any insurance or other benefits scheme shall not prejudice the Company’s ability to terminate the Executive’s employment and/or this Agreement.

7.6 The Company shall be entitled to perform any of its obligations under this clause 7 either by itself or through any other Group Company.

8 HOLIDAYS

8.1 The Company’s holiday year runs from 1 January to 31 December each year. The Executive shall be entitled to 33 days’ paid holiday (which includes the normal public and Bank holidays in England and Wales) in each holiday year to be taken at such times as the Board may approve.

8.2 Holiday is only to be taken on days convenient to the Company, and must be notified in advance to the Board.

8.3 The Executive shall only be entitled to carry forward any unused holiday entitlement from any holiday year to any subsequent holiday year with the prior written permission and at the sole discretion of the Board.

8.4 If the Executive’s employment shall terminate before he has taken his full accrued entitlement to holidays for that year, he shall be entitled to accrued holiday pay of one day’s salary (calculated at a daily rate of 1/260ths of the Executive’s annual salary) for each complete day of such entitlement not taken and accrued due at such termination (his accrued entitlement to holidays being deemed for this purpose to accrue from day to day).

8.5 If the employment of the Executive shall terminate and the Executive has taken more holidays than his accrued entitlement for the holiday year in which such termination occurs, the Company shall be entitled to make a commensurate deduction from any final payment (whether of salary, expenses or otherwise) to be made to the Executive.

8.6 If either party gives notice to terminate the Executive’s employment, the Board may require the Executive to take any accrued but unused holiday entitlement during the notice period (whether or not the Executive is suspended or on a period of garden leave in accordance with clause 15).

9 SICKNESS AND MEDICAL EXAMINATION

9.1 If the Executive shall at any time be incapacitated or prevented by sickness, injury, accident or any other circumstances beyond his control (hereinafter referred to as “incapacity”) from carrying out in full his duties under this Agreement, he shall follow the sickness absence reporting procedure contained in the Company’s rules for the notification and verification of sickness absence.

9.2 Subject to the Executive complying with the requirements of clause 9.1, the Executive may be entitled to Company sick pay in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Sick Policy which shall satisfy any entitlement of the Executive to receive Statutory Sick Pay (“SSP”) from the Company during that period. Thereafter, during any further period of incapacity, the Executive shall be entitled to such SSP as the Company is obliged by law to pay to him from time to time. Save as provided for herein, the Executive shall have no entitlement to sick pay other than SSP.

9.3 The Board may at any time and at its sole discretion require the Executive to:

(a) provide evidence satisfactory to the Board of any incapacity of the Executive;

(b) provide the Company with medical evidence of his fitness to return to work after any period of absence from work due to incapacity; and

(c) from time to time to undergo a medical examination by a medical practitioner nominated by the Company, the Company bearing the cost of any such examination and being entitled to full disclosure of the results thereof. The Executive agrees to consent to such an examination when requested by the Company.

9.4 If the Executive suffers from incapacity which is or appears to be occasioned by actionable negligence, nuisance or breach of a statutory duty by or on behalf of a third party in respect of which damages are or may be recoverable, the Executive shall:

(a) forthwith notify the Board of that fact and of any claim, compromise settlement or judgment made or awarded in connection therewith and shall give to the Board all such particulars of such matters as the Board may reasonably require;

(b) use all reasonable endeavours to recover (by way of settlement or otherwise) damages for loss of earnings over the period for which salary has been or shall be paid to the Executive, keeping the Company informed of the commencement, progress and outcome of any such claim; and

(c) shall refund to the Company such sum as the Board may determine, such sum not to exceed:

(i) the amount of damages recovered by him under such compromise, settlement or judgment less any costs in or in connection with or under such claim, compromise, settlement or judgment borne by the Executive; or

(ii) the aggregate of any remuneration paid to him in respect of the period of incapacity, less an amount equivalent to any SSP which the Company was obliged by law to pay to the Executive.

A “Non-Control Acquisition” shall mean an acquisition by (i) an employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by (A) the JELD-WEN Holding or (B) any corporation or other Person the majority of the voting power, voting equity securities or equity interest of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the JELD-WEN Holding (for purposes of this definition, a “Related Entity”), (ii) the JELD-WEN Holding or any Related Entity or (iii) any Person in connection with a Non-Control Transaction (as hereinafter defined);

(ii) The individuals who, as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, are members of the Board of JELD-WEN Holding (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board of JELD-WEN Holding; provided, however, that if the election, or nomination for election by the JELD-WEN Holding’s common stockholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; provided further, however, that no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a “Proxy Contest”) including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Proxy Contest;

(iii) The consummation of:

(a) A merger, consolidation or reorganization (x) with or into the JELD-WEN Holding or (y) in which securities of the JELD-WEN Holding are issued (a “Merger”), unless such Merger is a Non-Control Transaction. A “Non-Control Transaction” shall mean a Merger in which:

(i) the stockholders of the JELD-WEN Holding immediately before such Merger own directly or indirectly immediately following such Merger at least a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of (1) the corporation resulting from such Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), if fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Surviving Corporation is not Beneficially Owned, directly or indirectly, by another Person (a “Parent Corporation”), or (2) if there is one or more than one Parent Corporation, the ultimate Parent Corporation;

(ii) the individuals who were members of the Board of JELD-WEN Holding immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such Merger constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of (1) the Surviving Corporation, if there is no Parent Corporation, or (2) if there is one or more than one Parent Corporation, the ultimate Parent Corporation; and

(iii) no Person other than (1) the JELD-WEN Holding or another corporation that is a party to the agreement of Merger, (2) any Related Entity, (3) any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming a part thereof) that, immediately prior to the Merger, was maintained by the JELD-WEN Holding or any Related Entity or (4) any Person who, immediately prior to the Merger, had Beneficial Ownership of Voting Securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the JELD-WEN Holding’s then-outstanding Voting Securities, has Beneficial Ownership, directly or indirectly, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of (x) the Surviving Corporation, if there is no Parent Corporation, or (y) if there is one or more than one Parent Corporation, the ultimate Parent Corporation;

(iv) The sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the JELD-WEN Holding and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person (other than (x) a transfer to a Related Entity or (y) the distribution to the JELD-WEN Holding’s stockholders of the stock of a Related Entity or any other assets).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the “Subject Person”) acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the then outstanding Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the JELD-WEN Holding which, by reducing the number of Voting Securities then outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person; provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the JELD-WEN Holding and, after such acquisition by the JELD-WEN Holding, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Voting Securities and such Beneficial Ownership increases the percentage of the then outstanding Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur.

For purposes of this Schedule 1, “Person” shall include any company, corporation, firm, partnership, joint venture, unincorporated association, organisation or trust (in each case whether or not having separate legal personality) and references to any of the same shall include a reference to each of them.
