As reported below, on February 8, 2011, shareholders of Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan, which appears as Appendix A to the Company’s Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting held on February 8, 2011, is hereby incorporated by reference. The Plan contains the following material changes from the plan that was in effect prior to the amendment and restatement:
 
Number of Shares Subject to Award.  The number of shares issuable under the Plan has been increased from 5,050,000 to 7,800,000 shares. In addition, the following limitations have been revised:

Awards Other than Stock Options:  The maximum number of shares issuable as stock awards and/or stock unit awards is limited to 962,500 shares.

Incentive Stock Options:  The maximum number of shares issuable as incentive stock options has been increased from 5,050,000 to 7,800,000 shares.

Stock Units.  The Plan has been modified to permit the issuance of stock units and establish the restrictions, terms and conditions of such units. Prior to its current amendment and restatement, the Plan provided only for stock options and stock awards.

Shares Available Under the Plan.  The Plan no longer permits grants under the Plan with respect to shares used to pay the exercise price of a stock option or required tax withholding. Rather, these shares count against the aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the Plan. Prior to its current amendment and restatement, shares used to pay the stock option exercise price or tax withholding did not count against the number of shares issued under the Plan and could again be available for issuance.

Dividends on Performance-Based Stock Awards.  The Plan requires that dividends otherwise payable with respect to performance-based stock awards, or dividend equivalents payable with respect to performance-based stock unit awards, be held by the Company and only paid to the holder of such an award to the extent the related performance goals are satisfied. In addition, the Company’s Compensation Committee may hold dividends and dividend equivalents payable with respect to time-based stock or stock unit awards until the restrictions lapse. Prior to its current amendment and restatement, the Plan provided for dividend payments to be made with respect to all restricted stock awards at the same time dividends were paid on common stock generally.

Minimum Vesting.  The Plan generally requires minimum vesting requirements for stock awards and stock unit awards, whereby restrictions on performance-based awards do not lapse until the first anniversary of the date of grant and restrictions on time-based awards do not lapse until the third anniversary of the date of grant. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to accelerate vesting in the event of the participant’s termination of employment without cause. Prior to its amendment and restatement, the Plan had no minimum vesting provisions.

Payment of Option Exercise Price.  The Plan permits an optionholder to pay the option exercise price by having withheld shares that would otherwise be issuable pursuant to the option exercise withheld. Prior to its current amendment and restatement, the Plan permitted this payment alternative only to pay the withholding taxes associated with an award under the Plan.

Change in Control.   In the event there is a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the Plan), the Compensation Committee can provide for the cash-out of a stock award or stock unit award, in which case the holder of such an award would receive an amount equal to the then fair market value of the shares subject to the award. Prior to its amendment and restatement, the Plan did not expressly provide for this action to be taken upon a Change in Control.

Repricing.  The Plan requires that any amendment to the Plan or a stock option agreement that results in a repricing of a stock option requires prior approval of stockholders. Prior to its current amendment and restatement, repricing of stock options was prohibited.

Term.  The term of the Plan has been extended from October 22, 2017 to February 8, 2021 (i.e., the end of the 10-year period following the date the stockholders approved the Plan as amended and restated).

Forms of restricted stock and restricted stock unit agreements under the Plan are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3, respectively.
