1. The Grant. Apogee Enterprises, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the individual named above (the “Employee”), as of the above Grant Date, (i) the number of shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) equal to the above number of performance shares at Target (the “Issued Shares”) and (ii) the right to receive an amount of additional shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between the Maximum number of performance shares and the Target number of performance shares (the “Additional Shares” and, together with the Issued Shares, the “Performance Shares”), in each case, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Performance Share Agreement (this “Agreement”) and in the Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 2002 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”).

2. Performance Period. The Performance Period for purposes of determining whether the Issued Shares will be retained and whether the Additional Shares will be issued shall be fiscal years 20     through 20    .

3. Performance Goals. The Performance Goals for purposes of determining whether the Issued Shares will be retained and whether the Additional Shares will be issued are set forth in the attached Performance Goals Schedule.

4. Vesting. The determination of whether the Issued Shares will be retained and whether the Additional Shares will be issued 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 Performance Goals Schedule and as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) in its sole discretion. Vesting of the Issued Shares and issuance of any Additional Shares 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.

5. Restrictions on Transfer. The Issued Shares, and the right to receive the Additional Shares, 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.

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

• involuntary termination without Cause (as defined in the Addendum to this Agreement),

• Early Retirement or Retirement (as defined in the Addendum to this Agreement),

• Disability (as defined in the Addendum to this Agreement), 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, and receive, if applicable, a pro-rata portion (based on the amount of time elapsed between the beginning of the Performance Period and the date of termination) of the Performance Shares 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 Performance Goals Schedule 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 Early Retirement,

Retirement, Disability or death, the Employee or the Employee’s estate, as applicable, shall be entitled to retain, and receive, if applicable, the Performance Shares 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 Performance Goals Schedule and as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Addendum to this Agreement) prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Employee shall be entitled to retain a pro-rata portion of the Issued Shares based on the amount of time elapsed between the beginning of the Performance Period and the date of the Change in Control.

7. Rights. Upon issuance of the Issued Shares, the Employee will, subject to the restrictions of this Agreement and the Plan, have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Issued Shares (including voting rights and the right to receive any dividends or other distributions (whether cash, stock, or otherwise) paid on the Issued Shares during the Performance Period), unless and until such Issued Shares are forfeited. Nothing herein shall be deemed to grant the Employee any rights as a holder of shares of Common Stock with respect to the Additional Shares to be received, if any, unless and until such Additional Shares are actually issued to the Employee as provided herein.

8. Legend. The Company will imprint the following legend upon each of the certificates representing the Issued Shares issued in the name of the Employee or the Employee’s beneficiary on the books of the Company, and such legend shall be and remain upon such certificates, as well as any reissuance thereof, unless and until removed pursuant to the reissuance of certificates upon vesting of the Issued Shares in accordance with this Agreement:

“The securities represented by this certificate are subject to a Performance Share Agreement, dated                     , 200    , by and between Apogee Enterprises, Inc. and the registered owner of such securities, and may not be sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered, liened, or otherwise disposed of unless in compliance with the terms of such Performance Share Agreement, a copy of which is on file at the principal office of Apogee Enterprises, Inc.”

9. Income Taxes. The Employee is liable for any federal, state and local income or other taxes applicable upon the grant of the Issued Shares, the receipt of the Additional Shares, or subsequent disposition of any of the Performance Shares, and the Employee acknowledges that he or she should consult with his or her own tax advisor regarding the applicable tax consequences. Upon vesting of the Issued Shares and/or issuance of the Additional Shares by the Company, the Employee shall promptly pay to the Company in cash, and/or the Company may withhold from the Employee’s compensation or from the Additional Shares or any cash payable in lieu of some or all of such Additional Shares an amount necessary to pay, all applicable taxes required by the Company to be withheld or collected upon such payment and/or issuance of Additional Shares.
