Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. BACKGROUND AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Description of Business

Continental Building Products, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation. Prior to the acquisition of the gypsum division of Lafarge North America Inc. ("Lafarge N.A.") described below, the Company had no operating activity. The Company manufactures gypsum wallboard related products for commercial and residential buildings and houses. The Company operates a network of three highly efficient wallboard facilities, all located in the eastern United States, and produces joint compound at one plant in the United States and at another plant in Canada.

The Acquisition

On June 24, 2013, Lone Star Fund VIII (U.S.), L.P., (along with its affiliates and associates, but excluding the companies that it owns as a result of its investment activity, “Lone Star”), entered into a definitive agreement with Lafarge N.A. to purchase the assets of its North American gypsum division for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $703 million (the "Acquisition") in cash. The closing of the Acquisition occurred on August 30, 2013.

Secondary Public Offerings

On March 18, 2016, following a series of secondary offerings, LSF8 Gypsum Holdings, L.P. ("LSF8") sold its remaining 5,106,803 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $16.10. Following the March 18, 2016 transaction and the concurrent repurchase by the Company of 900,000 shares of Company’s common stock from LSF8, to the best of the Company's knowledge, neither LSF8 nor any other affiliate of Lone Star held any shares of Company common stock. (See Note 11, Treasury Stock).

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

(b) Basis of Presentation for Interim Periods

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included for the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with

U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented. Management believes that the unaudited interim

financial statements include all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial

position of the Company and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year

ending December 31, 2017. Seasonal changes and other conditions can affect the sales volumes of the Company’s products.

Therefore, the financial results for any interim period do not necessarily indicate the expected results for the year.

The financial statements should be read in conjunction with Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes

thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year then

ended (the "2016 10-K"). The Company has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in those financial statements.

(d) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted During the Period

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-11, "Inventory:Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." This guidance applies to inventory valued at first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost and requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, rather than at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company values its inventory under the average cost method and thus will be required to adopt the standard. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which introduces targeted amendments intended to simplify the accounting for stock compensation. Specifically, the ASU requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. The tax effects of exercised or vested awards should be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. An entity also should recognize excess tax benefits, and assess the need for a valuation allowance, regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. That is, off-balance sheet accounting for net operating losses stemming from excess tax benefits would no longer be required and instead such net operating losses would be recognized when they arise. Existing net operating losses that are currently tracked off-balance sheet would be recognized, net of a valuation allowance if required, through an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. Entities will no longer need to maintain and track an "APIC pool." The ASU also requires excess tax benefits to be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. The amendments were effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of 2017, which resulted in a favorable adjustment to income tax provision of $0.2 million.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-9, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date," which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-9 for all entities by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The ASU requires retroactive application on either a full or modified basis. The Company will adopt the standard on January 1, 2018. The Company has identified a project implementation team and has identified its revenue streams. The Company is in the process of evaluating the various aspects of the standard and how the standard may impact how the Company recognizes revenue. The Company is also evaluating the potential impact that the new guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements. While the Company has not completed its analysis, the Company does not anticipate that the new guidance will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption, which is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

8

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." This ASU is intended to introduce a revised approach to the recognition and measurement of credit losses, emphasizing an updated model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The provisions of this standard are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This ASU intends to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows.  The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating when it will adopt the ASU and the expected impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory." The new standard requires companies to recognize the income tax effects of intercompany sales or transfers of assets, other than inventory, in the income statement as income tax expense (or benefit) in the period the sales or transfer occurs. The standard requires companies to apply a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating when it will adopt the ASU and the expected impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017- 04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other." This ASU simplifies the goodwill impairment calculation by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., Step 2 of today’s goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., Step 1 of today’s goodwill impairment test). The standard will be applied prospectively and is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating when it will adopt the ASU and the expected impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

7. INVESTMENT IN SEVEN HILLS

The Company is a party with an unaffiliated third party to a paperboard liner venture named Seven Hills Paperboard, LLC ("Seven Hills") that provides the Company with a continuous supply of high-quality recycled paperboard liner to meet its ongoing production requirements.

The Company has evaluated the characteristics of its investment and determined that Seven Hills would be deemed a variable interest entity, but that it does not have the power to direct the principal activities most impacting the economic performance of Seven Hills, and is thus not the primary beneficiary. As such, the Company accounts for this investment in Seven Hills under the equity method of accounting.

Paperboard liner purchased from Seven Hills was $14.8 million and $26.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $11.1 million and $22.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had certain purchase commitments for paper totaling $35.6 million through 2020.

(a) As of June 30, 2017, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, had a maturity date of August 18, 2023 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a 0.75% floor) plus 2.50%, compared to as of December 31, 2016, at which time the First Lien Credit Agreement had the same maturity date and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a 0.75% floor) plus 2.75%.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company purchased certain assets from Lafarge N.A. with cash. In order to finance a portion of the consideration payable to Lafarge N.A., the Company and its subsidiary Continental Building Products Operating Company, LLC ("OpCo") entered into a first lien credit agreement with Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and RBC Capital Markets, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and Royal Bank of Canada, as syndication agent (as amended on December 2, 2013, the "First Lien Credit Agreement") and a second lien credit agreement with Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and RBC Capital Markets, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and Royal Bank of Canada, as syndication agent for term loan borrowings of $320 million and $120 million, respectively, and drew $25 million under a $50 million revolving credit facility under the First Lien Credit Agreement. The available amount under the First Lien Credit Agreement term loan was subsequently increased to $415 million. In conjunction with the initial issuance of this debt, the Company incurred $15.3 million of debt issuance costs which were being amortized using the effective interest rate method or the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest rate method, over the estimated life of the related debt. Interest under the First Lien Credit Agreement was floating. The margin applicable to the borrowing was reduced in the third quarter 2014 to 3.00% after the Company achieved a B2 rating with a stable outlook by Moody’s.

On August 18, 2016, the Company, OpCo and Continental Building Products Canada Inc. and the lenders party thereto and Credit Suisse, as Administrative Agent, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amending and restating the First Lien Credit Agreement (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $275 million senior secured first lien term loan facility and a $75 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"), which mature on August 18, 2023 and August 18, 2021, respectively. Related to this debt refinancing, the Company incurred $4.7 million of discount and debt issuance costs, of which $2.5 million was recorded in Other expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and $2.2 million will be amortized over the term of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Upon completion of this debt refinancing, the Company recognized an additional expense of $3.3 million related to losses resulting from debt extinguishment which is also reported in Other expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The interest rate under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement remained floating but was reduced to a spread over LIBOR of 2.75% and floor of 0.75%.

On February 21, 2017, the Company repriced its term loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement lowering its interest rate by a further 25 basis points to LIBOR plus 2.50% thereby reducing its estimated interest expense by approximately $0.8 million per annum. All other terms and conditions under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement remained the same. In connection with the debt repricing, the Company incurred $0.7 million of debt issuance costs, which was recorded in Other expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The First Lien Credit Agreement was, and the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is, secured by the underlying property and equipment of the Company. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company made no voluntary prepayment of principal, compared to $25.0 million of voluntary prepayments in the same period of 2016. As of June 30, 2017, the annual effective interest rate on the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including original issue discount and amortization of debt issuance costs, was 4.1%.

There were no amounts outstanding under the Revolver as of June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 the Company did not have any draws under the Revolver, compared to $22.0 million which the Company borrowed and repaid in full during the six months ended June 30, 2016 under the applicable revolving credit facility. Interest under the Revolver is floating, based on LIBOR plus 225 basis points. In addition, the Company pays a facility fee of 50 basis points per annum on the total capacity under the Revolver. Availability under the Revolver as of June 30, 2017, based on draws and outstanding letters of credit and absence of violations of covenants, was $73.4 million.

	Amount Due
	(in thousands)
July 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017	$	1,368
2018	2,736
2019	2,736
2020	2,736
2021	2,736
Thereafter	259,945
Total Payments	$	272,257

Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain covenants, including among others, the limitation of indebtedness, limitation on liens, and limitations on certain cash distributions. One single financial covenant governs all of the Company’s debt and only applies if the outstanding borrowings of the Revolver plus outstanding letters of credit are greater than $22.5 million as of the end of the quarter. The financial covenant is a total leverage ratio calculation, in which total debt less outstanding cash is divided by adjusted earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization. As the sum of outstanding borrowings under the Revolver and outstanding letters of credit were less than $22.5 million at June 30, 2017, the total leverage ratio of no greater than 5.0 under the financial covenant was not applicable at June 30, 2017.

10. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage selected commodity price and interest rate exposures. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes, and typically does not hedge beyond one year for commodity derivative instruments. Cash flows from derivative instruments are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Commodity Derivative Instruments

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had 2,420 thousand millions of British Thermal Units ("mmBTUs") in aggregate notional amount outstanding natural gas swap contracts to manage commodity price exposures. All of these contracts mature by July 31, 2018. The Company elected to designate these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815-20, Derivatives – Hedging. For derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income, and is reclassified to earnings when the underlying forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in cost of goods sold. The net unrealized loss that remained in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2017 was $0.1 million which is net of a tax amount of $0.1 million. The net unrealized gain that remained in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2016 was $0.2 million which is net of a tax amount of $0.1 million. No ineffectiveness was recorded on these contracts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The Company reassesses the probability of the underlying forecasted transactions occurring on a quarterly basis.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, approximately $0.3 million of loss, net of $0.1 million of tax and $0.3 million of loss, net of $0.2 million of tax, respectively, were recognized in other comprehensive income for the commodity contracts. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the amount of gain reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into income was $0.1 million. As of June 30, 2017, there was $0.1 million recorded in other current assets and $0.2 million was recorded in other current liabilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, approximately $0.3 million of gain, net of $0.2 million of tax expense, and $0.2 million of gain, net of $0.1 million of tax expense, respectively, were recognized in other comprehensive income for the commodity contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the amount of loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into income was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, $0.4 million was recorded in other current assets.

Interest Rate Derivative Instrument

In September 2016, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for a combined notional amount of $100.0 million with a term of four years, which hedged the floating LIBOR on a portion of the term loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to an average fixed rate of 1.323% and LIBOR floor of 0.75%. The Company elected to designate these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. The net unrealized gain that remained in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2017 was $1.0 million which is net of a tax amount of $0.5 million. The net unrealized gain that remained in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2016 was $1.2 million which is net of a tax amount of $0.6 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the amount of loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into income was $44,000 and $0.1 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, approximately $0.3 million of loss, net of tax expense of $0.2 million and $0.2 million of loss, net of tax expense of $0.1 million, respectively, were recognized in other comprehensive income for the interest rate swaps. As of June 30, 2017, there was $1.5 million recorded in other current assets. No ineffectiveness was recorded on these contracts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Counterparty Risk

The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the Company’s derivative instruments. As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s derivatives were in a $1.3 million net asset position. All of the Company’s counterparties have investment grade credit ratings; accordingly, the Company anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. The Company’s agreements outline the conditions upon which it or the counterparties are required to post collateral. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had no collateral posted with its counterparties related to the derivatives.

11. TREASURY STOCK

On November 4, 2015, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $50 million of its common stock, at such times and prices as determined by management as market conditions warrant, through December 31, 2016. Pursuant to this authorization, on March 18, 2016, the Company repurchased 900,000 shares of its common stock from LSF8 in a private transaction at a price per share of $16.10, or an aggregate of approximately $14.5 million, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated March 14, 2016. The Company has also repurchased shares of its common stock in the open market under this authorization. On August 3, 2016, the Company announced the Board of Directors had approved an expansion of its stock repurchase program by $50 million, increasing the aggregate authorization from up to $50 million to up to $100 million. The program was also extended from the end of 2016 to the end of 2017.

On February 21, 2017, the Board of Directors further expanded the Company's share repurchase program up to a total of $200 million of its common stock and extended the expiration date to December 31, 2018.

All repurchased shares are held in treasury, reducing the number of shares of common stock outstanding and used in the Company’s earnings per share calculation.

12. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock options, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units and Performance Restricted Stock Units

On May 1, 2017, the Company granted one employee 1,701 Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") that vest ratably over four years from the grant date. The market price on the date of grant was $24.30.

On May 1, 2017, the Company also granted one employee 1,702 Performance Based RSUs ("PRSUs"). The PRSUs vest on December 31, 2019, with the exact number of PRSUs vesting subject to the achievement of certain performance conditions through December 31, 2018. The number of PRSUs earned will vary from 0% to 200% of the number of PRSUs awarded, depending on the Company’s performance relative to a cumulative two year EBITDA target for fiscal years 2017 and 2018. The market price on the date of grant was $24.30.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized share-based compensation expenses of $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, compared to $0.8 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The expenses related to share-based compensation awards were recorded in selling and administrative expenses. As of June 30, 2017, there was $5.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, restricted stock awards, RSUs and PRSUs. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years.

14. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s annual estimated effective tax rate is approximately 33.43%. The Company is subject to audit examinations at federal, state and local levels by tax authorities in those jurisdictions. In addition, the Canadian operations are subject to audit examinations at federal and provincial levels by tax authorities in those jurisdictions. The tax matters challenged by the tax authorities are typically complex; therefore, the ultimate outcome of any challenges would be subject to uncertainty. The Company has not identified any issues that did not meet the recognition threshold or would be impacted by the measurement provisions of the uncertain tax position guidance.

15. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table shows the weighted average number of shares used in computing earnings per share and the effect on the weighted average number of shares of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive common stock has no effect on income available to common stockholders. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, approximately, 1,000 and 43,000 share-based compensation awards, respectively, were excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding because their impact would be anti-dilutive in the computation of dilutive earnings per share. Awards excluded for the same periods in 2016 were 165 and 77,000, respectively.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

The Company leases certain buildings and equipment. The Company’s facility and equipment leases may provide for escalations of rent or rent abatements and payment of pro rata portions of building operating expenses. Minimum lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. The total expenses under operating leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $0.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, compared to $1.1 million and $2.1 million for the same periods in 2016, respectively. The Company also has non-capital purchase commitments that primarily relate to gas, gypsum, paper and other raw materials. The total amounts purchased under such commitments were $21.7 million and $42.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $15.5 million and $33.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

Contingent obligations

Under certain circumstances, the Company provides letters of credit related to its natural gas and other supply purchases. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $1.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Legal Matters

In the ordinary course of business, the Company executes contracts involving indemnifications standard in the industry. These indemnifications might include claims relating to any of the following: environmental and tax matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. While the maximum amount to which the Company may be exposed under such agreements cannot be estimated, it is the opinion of management that these guarantees and indemnifications are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in certain legal actions and claims, including proceedings under laws and regulations relating to environmental and other matters. Because such matters are subject to many uncertainties and the outcomes are not predictable with assurance, the total liability for these legal actions and claims cannot be determined with certainty. When the Company determines that it is probable that a liability for environmental matters, legal actions or other contingencies has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable, an estimate of the costs to be incurred is recorded as a liability in the financial statements. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, such liabilities were not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. While management believes its accruals for such liabilities are adequate, the Company may incur costs in excess of the amounts provided. Although the ultimate amount of liability that may result from these matters or actions is not ascertainable, any amounts exceeding the recorded accruals are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

17. SEGMENT REPORTING

Segment information is presented in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and geographic areas. The Company’s primary reportable segment is wallboard, which represented approximately 97.2% and 96.9% of the Company's revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 97.0% and 96.8% of the Company's revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. This segment produces wallboard for the commercial and residential construction sectors. The Company also manufactures finishing products, which complement the Company’s full range of wallboard products.

Revenues from the major products sold to external customers include gypsum wallboard and finishing products.

The Company’s two geographic areas consist of the United States and Canada for which it reports net sales, fixed assets and total assets.

The Company evaluates operating performance based on profit or loss from operations before certain adjustments as shown below. Revenues are attributed to geographic areas based on the location of the assets producing the revenues. The Company did not provide asset information by segment as its Chief Operating Decision Maker does not use such information for purposes of allocating resources and assessing segment performance.

18. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

U.S. GAAP provides a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used to measure the fair value and requires certain disclosures relating to fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in a market with sufficient activity.

The three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, is as follows:

• Level 1—Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a Company has the ability to access;

• Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted market prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability which is typically based on an entity’s own assumptions when there is little, if any, related market data available.

The Company evaluates assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring and non-recurring basis to determine the appropriate level to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made by the Company. The fair values of receivables, accounts payable, accrued costs and other current liabilities approximate the carrying values as a result of the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company estimates the fair value of its debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using estimated market rates of debt instruments with similar maturities and credit profiles. These inputs are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying value reported in the consolidated balance sheet for the Company’s notes payable approximated its fair value.

The only assets or liabilities the Company had at June 30, 2017 that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are the natural gas hedges and interest rate swaps. The natural gas hedges had a negative fair value of $0.1 million as of June 30, 2017, net of tax amount of $0.1 million, compared to a positive fair value of 0.2 million, net of tax amount of $0.1 million as of December 31, 2016. Interest rate swaps had a positive fair value of $1.0 million as of June 30, 2017, net of tax amount of $0.5 million, compared to a positive fair value of $1.2 million as of December 31, 2016, net of tax amount of $0.6 million. Both the natural gas hedges and interest rate swaps are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using third party pricing models which contain inputs that are derived from observable market data. Generally, the Company obtains its Level 2 pricing inputs from its counterparties. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include intangible assets and goodwill. These items are recognized at fair value when they are considered to be impaired.

There were no fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis. The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. You should read this discussion in conjunction with "Risk Factors," "Forward-Looking Statements," "Selected Historical Financial and Operating Data," and our financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2017 (the "2016 10-K") and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as applicable.

Overview

We are a leading manufacturer of gypsum wallboard and complementary finishing products in the eastern United States and eastern Canada. We operate highly efficient and automated manufacturing facilities that produce a full range of gypsum wallboard products for our diversified customer base. We sell our products in the new residential, repair and remodel, or R&R, and commercial construction markets.

Our primary reportable segment is wallboard, which accounted for approximately 97.2% and 96.9% of our net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 97.0% and 96.8% of our net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. We also operate other business activities, primarily the production of finishing products, which complement our full range of wallboard products. See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our reporting segments.

Factors Affecting Our Results

Market

For the new residential construction market, housing starts are a good indicator of demand for our gypsum products. Installation of our gypsum products into a single family home typically follows a housing start by 90 to 120 days. The R&R market includes renovation of both residential and nonresidential buildings. Many buyers begin to remodel an existing home within two years of purchase. The generally rising levels of existing home sales and home resale values in recent years have contributed to an increase in demand for our products from the R&R market. The commercial construction market encompasses areas such as office, retail, heath care, hospitality, and government projects. Demand for our products from commercial construction typically follows signing of construction contracts by 12 to 18 months.

The rate of recovery in the new residential construction market, R&R market, and the new nonresidential construction market remains uncertain and will depend on broader economic circumstances, including employment, household formation, the home ownership rate, existing home price trends, availability of mortgage financing, interest rates, consumer confidence, job growth and discretionary business investment.

Wallboard pricing can be impacted by overall industry capacity in the United States. Currently, there is excess wallboard production capacity industry-wide in the United States which can lead to downward pressure on wallboard prices. We estimate that industry capacity utilization was approximately 75% and 73% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and 73% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

Market Outlook

Most forecasts continue to project moderate growth in housing starts. Industry Analysts’ forecasts for 2017 housing starts in the United States included in the most recent Blue Chip Economic Indicators are 1.19 million to 1.29 million units, based on the average of the bottom ten and top ten forecasts included in the report, respectively. This forecast range represents an increase in the range of 2% and 10% over 2016 housing starts of 1.17 million. We also expect that the R&R and new commercial construction markets will continue to experience moderate growth.

Industry shipments of gypsum wallboard in the United States as reported by the Gypsum Association, were an estimated 6.2 billion and 12.2 billion square feet for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The 6.2 billion square feet is up 3% when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, while the 12.2 billion is flat from the same prior year period. We estimate that industry shipments in the United States for all of 2017 will increase mid-single digits from 24.7 billion square feet in 2016.

19

Manufacturing Costs

Paper and synthetic gypsum are our principal wallboard raw materials. Paper constitutes our most significant input cost and the most significant driver of our variable manufacturing costs. Energy costs, consisting of natural gas and electricity, are the other key input costs. In total, manufacturing cash costs represented 64% of our costs of goods sold for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to 61% and 62% for the same periods in 2016, respectively. Depreciation and amortization represented 13% of our costs of goods sold for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to 14% of our costs of goods sold for the same periods in 2016. Distribution costs to deliver products to our customers represented the remaining portion of our costs of goods sold, or approximately 23% of our costs of goods sold for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to 25% and 24% of our costs of goods sold for the same periods in 2016, respectively.

Variable manufacturing costs, including inputs such as paper, gypsum, natural gas, and other raw materials, represented 70% and 71% of our manufacturing cash costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 67% and 68% for the same periods in 2016, respectively. Fixed production costs excluding depreciation and amortization consisted of labor, maintenance, and other costs that represented 30% and 29% of our manufacturing cash costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 33% and 32% for the same periods in 2016, respectively.

We currently purchase most of our paperboard liner from Seven Hills, a joint venture between us and WestRock Company. Under the joint venture agreement with Seven Hills, the price of paper adjusts based on changes in the underlying costs of production of the paperboard liner, of which the two most significant are recovered waste paper and natural gas. The largest waste paper source used by the operation is old cardboard containers (known as OCC). Seven Hills has the capacity to supply us with approximately 75% of our paper needs at our full capacity utilization and most of our needs at current capacity utilization on market-based pricing terms that we consider favorable. We also purchase additional paper on the spot market at competitive prices. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our investment in Seven Hills.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

Net Sales.Net sales increased by $3.5 million, up3.0% from $117.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, to $120.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to a favorable impact of $3.2 million due to an increase in the average net selling price for gypsum wallboard at constant exchange rates. In addition, there was a $0.7 million favorable impact of higher wallboard volumes driven by higher demand in the United States. The overall increase in net sales was partially offset by unfavorable impact of $0.3 million related to foreign currency exchange rates and $0.1 million related to non-wallboard products.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased$6.1 million, up7.3% from $83.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, to $89.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily driven by higher per unit input costs, mainly related to paper, gypsum and natural gas which increased cost of goods sold by $5.6 million. Amortization and depreciation costs and labor costs increased by $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. In addition, higher wallboard volumes increased freight costs and input costs by $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The overall increase was partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease due to lower per unit freight costs and a $0.2 million increase in other manufacturing costs.

Selling and Administrative Expense. Selling and administrative expense decreased$1.0 million, down9.8% from $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, to $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This decrease was mainly driven by a $0.4 million decrease in professional services, a $0.2 million decrease in bad debt expense, a $0.2 million in warehouse lease expense and a $0.2 million decrease in other selling and administrative expense.

Operating Income. Operating income of $21.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017decreased by $1.6 million from operating income of $23.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The primary drivers for this decrease were higher input and labor costs, partially offset by higher net sales and lower freight costs for the second quarter 2017 versus the second quarter 2016.

Other (Expense)/Income, Net.Other (expense)/income, net, was a net expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to net income of $6,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

21

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense was $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $0.5 million from $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, reflecting lower average outstanding borrowings during second quarter 2017 compared to second quarter 2016 and the lower interest rate spread over LIBOR following the debt refinancing in August 2016 and repricing in February 2017. This decrease was partially offset by the rise in LIBOR. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the refinancing and repricing.

Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes decreased $0.2 million from $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $6.6 million in the prior period. The lower provision for income taxes was primarily driven by lower pretax income and a slightly lower annual estimated effective tax rate.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

Net Sales.Net sales increased by $12.6 million, up5.5% from $228.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, to $241.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to a $6.5 million favorable impact of higher wallboard volumes driven by higher demand in the United States and a favorable impact of $6.1 million due to an increase in the average net selling price for gypsum wallboard at constant exchange rates.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased$15.7 million, up9.6% from $163.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, to $179.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Higher per unit input costs, mainly related to paper, gypsum and natural gas increased cost of goods sold by $10.6 million and higher per unit freight costs increased $0.3 million. In addition, higher wallboard volumes increased input costs and freight costs by and $1.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Furthermore, labor costs increased by $1.3 million. The remaining increase of $0.5 million was due to other manufacturing costs.

Selling and Administrative Expense. Selling and administrative expense decreased$0.6 million, down3.1% from $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, to $18.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This decrease was driven by a $0.8 million decrease in professional services and a $0.2 million decrease in warehouse lease expenses. The overall decrease was partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in stock compensation and a $0.1 million increase in other selling and administrative expenses.

Operating Income. Operating income of $43.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017decreased by $2.5 million from operating income of $45.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The primary drivers for this decrease were higher input, freight and labor costs, partially offset by an increase in net sales resulting from higher volumes and sales price.

Other (Expense)/Income, Net.Other (expense)/income, net, was a net expense of $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to net income of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The $1.0 million increase in expense was primarily driven by $0.7 million in additional expenses associated with the debt repricing in the first quarter 2017. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the repricing.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense was $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $1.3 million from $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, reflecting lower average outstanding borrowings and the lower interest rate spread over LIBOR following the debt refinancing in August 2016 and repricing in February 2017. This decrease was partially offset by the rise in LIBOR. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the refinancing and repricing.

Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes decreased $0.8 million from $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $12.9 million in the prior year period. The lower provision for income taxes was primarily driven by lower pretax income, a slightly lower annual estimated effective tax rate, and a $0.2 million favorable discrete tax item related to excess tax benefits on stock compensation recognized in connection with the adoption of new accounting guidance. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail on our adoption of this share-based compensation accounting guidance.

Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA has been presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We have presented EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that it facilitates a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to our performance based on our results under GAAP while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance and eliminates certain charges that we believe do not reflect our operations and underlying operational performance. Management also believes that EBITDA is useful to investors because it allows investors to view our business through the eyes of management and the board of directors, facilitating comparison of results across historical periods.

EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as we do. EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP or any other financial statement data presented as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity, as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash from operations, and borrowings under our debt financing arrangements. We believe these sources will be sufficient to fund our planned operations and capital expenditures. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of our debt financing arrangements.

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $42.5 million and $49.5 million, respectively. The decrease of $7.0 million in 2017 compared to 2016 was primarily driven by a decrease in net income and a decrease in cash from changes in working capital.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $8.6 million, compared to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily reflect an aggregate of $8.2 million in capital expenditures and software purchased or developed, compared to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The remaining increase is driven by distributions and contributions related to our equity investment in Seven Hills.

Net Cash Used In Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $29.9 million, compared to $47.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we repriced the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, resulting in a net outflow of $0.6 million. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of the repricing. We made principal payments on our outstanding debt of $1.4 million and $25.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We also deployed $27.8 million and $22.0 million during six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, to repurchase common stock.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported

amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our 2016 10-K includes a summary of the

critical accounting policies we believe are the most important to aid in understanding our financial results. There have been no

changes to those critical accounting policies that have had a material impact on our reported amounts of assets, liabilities,

revenues or expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to financial risks such as changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity price risk associated with our input costs and counterparty risk. We use derivative instruments to manage selected commodity price and interest rate exposures.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our outstanding debt, and cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2017, we had $55.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. The interest expense associated with the term loan and revolving credit facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will vary with market rates.

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates related to our outstanding debt is somewhat mitigated as the term loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement has a LIBOR floor of 0.75%. A rise of interest rate levels would increase our interest expense and a reduction in interest rates to the floor would decrease our interest expense slightly as the LIBOR specified in the calculation of interest during the second quarter was slightly above the floor. A hypothetical 1.00% increase in interest rates would have increased interest expense by approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, while a hypothetical 1.00% decrease in interest rate would have decreased interest expense by $0.2 million. We based this sensitivity calculation on the three month LIBOR rate of 1.15% as of March 30, 2017 in accordance with the measurement date specified in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2017, we had interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $100.0 million and a 3-year remaining term, which swapped the floating interest rate on a portion of the term loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to an average fixed rate of 1.323%. The fair value of these interest rate swaps was $1.5 million as of June 30, 2017.

The return on our cash equivalents balance was less than 1%. Therefore, if investment interest rates decrease in the future, the corresponding impact to our interest income, and likewise to our income and cash flow, would not be material.

Foreign Currency Risk

Approximately 5.8% and 7.1% of our net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, were in Canada, compared to 8.0% and 7.6% of our net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. As a result, we are exposed to movements in foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar. We estimate that a 1% change in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian currencies would impact net sales by approximately $0.1 million based on results for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This may differ from actual results depending on the level of sales volumes in Canada. During the reported periods we did not use foreign currency hedges to manage this risk.

Commodity Price Risk

Some of our key production inputs, such as paper and natural gas, are commodities whose prices are determined by the market’s supply and demand for such products. Price fluctuations on our key input costs have a significant effect on our financial performance. The markets for most of these commodities are cyclical and are affected by factors such as global economic conditions, changes in or disruptions to industry production capacity, changes in inventory levels and other factors beyond our control. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had natural gas swap contracts for a portion of natural gas usage. The contracts mature between July 31, 2017 and July 31, 2018. Other than the natural gas swap contracts described above, we did not manage commodity price risk with derivative instruments. We may in the future enter into derivative financial instruments from time to time to manage our exposure related to these market risks.

Counterparty Risk

The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the Company’s derivative instruments. All of the Company’s counterparties have investment grade credit ratings; accordingly, the Company anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. The Company’s agreements outline the conditions upon which it or the counterparties are required to post collateral. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had no collateral posted with its counterparties related to the derivatives.

Seasonality

Sales of our wallboard products are seasonal, similar to many building products, in that sales are generally slightly higher from spring through autumn when construction activity is greatest in our markets.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management's Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's management carried out the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act), required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2017.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations in Control Systems. The design of any system of control is based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all future events, no matter how remote, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may not deteriorate. Because of their inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

In addition, shares of Common Stock that have been delivered (either actually or by attestation) to the Company in payment or satisfaction of the exercise price, purchase price or tax withholding obligation of an Award shall be available for issuance under the Plan.

Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary, or with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines, has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such

8

acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan; provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were employees of such acquired or combined company before such acquisition or combination.

6. Administration of the Plan

(a)Administrator of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee or, in the Board’s sole discretion, by the Board.

(b)Committee Composition. The Board will have discretion to determine whether or not it intends to comply with the exemption requirements of Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of the Code. If the Board intends to satisfy the exemption requirements with respect to Awards to any Covered Employee and with respect to any insider subject to Section 16 of the Act the Committee will be a compensation committee of the Board that at all times consists solely of two or more Non-employee Directors who are also Outside Directors. Within the scope of such authority, the Board or the Committee may (i) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Outside Directors the authority to grant Awards to Eligible Persons who are either (A) not then Covered Employees and are not expected to be Covered Employees at the time of recognition of income resulting from such Award, or (B) not persons with respect to whom the Company wishes to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code or (ii) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Non-employee Directors the authority to grant Awards to Eligible Persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Act. Nothing in the Plan will create an inference that an Award is not validly granted under the Plan in the event Awards are granted under the Plan by a compensation committee of the Board that does not at all times consist solely of two or more Non-employee Directors who are also Outside Directors.

(c)Powers of Committee. Subject to applicable laws and subject to and not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall be authorized and empowered to do all things that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the administration of the Plan, including, without limitation:

(1)to grant Awards;

(2)to select which Eligible Persons shall be granted Awards and the timing of when those Awards will be granted;

(3)to determine the type and number of Awards to be granted, and the number of shares of Common Stock, or amount of cash, to be made subject to each Award;

(4)to determine whether each Option is to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option;

(5)to determine the terms, conditions, restrictions and performance conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, relating to any Award, including, without limitation, the exercise or payment price, any restrictions or limitations, performance conditions, any vesting schedule or acceleration of any vesting schedule, or any forfeiture or waiver of any vesting schedule, based on the factors, if any, as the Committee determines in its sole discretion, medium of payment, and to specify the terms and conditions in the applicable Award Agreement;

(6)to approve the forms of Award Agreements;

9

(7)to establish and verify the extent of satisfaction of any performance conditions or other conditions applicable to the grant, issuance, retention, vesting, exercisability or settlement of any Award;

(8)to make adjustments in recognition of the events set forth in Section 15;

(9)to construe and interpret the Plan and apply its provisions;

(10)to authorize any employee of the Company to execute, on behalf of the Company, any document or notice required in connection with the administration of the Plan;

(11)to interpret, administer, reconcile any inconsistency in, correct any defect in and/or supply any omission in the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or Award granted under, the Plan in the manner and to the extent it deems necessary to carry the Plan into effect but only to the extent any such action would be permitted under the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 and Section 162(m) of the Code;

(12)to exercise discretion to make any and all other determinations that it determines to be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

(d)Delegation of Administrative Duties. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more agents such administrative duties as it may deem advisable and the Committee or any person to whom it has delegated duties may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee may have under the Plan.

(e)Delegation to an Officer. To the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, the Committee may by resolution delegate to one or more Officers the authority to designate employees of the Company who are not Officers to receive Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, and Other Stock-Based Awards, and determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to such Awards; provided, however, that the resolutions regarding the delegation will specify the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to the Awards granted by the Officer and the Officer may not grant an Award to himself or herself. Any Award will be granted on the form Award Agreement most recently approved by the Committee, unless otherwise provided in the resolutions approving the delegation authority. The Committee may not delegate authority to an Officer who is acting solely in the capacity of an Officer (and not also as a member of the Board) to determine the Fair Market Value.

(f)Determinations by the Committee. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Committee regarding the Plan, any rules and regulations under the Plan and the terms and conditions of or operation of any Award, shall be final and binding on all Participants, beneficiaries, heirs, assigns or other persons holding or claiming rights under the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems relevant, in its sole and absolute discretion, to making such decisions, determinations and interpretations including, without limitation, the recommendations or advice of any officer or other employee of the Company and such attorneys, consultants and accountants as it may select. Members of the Board and members of the Committee acting under the Plan shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the advice of counsel and shall incur no liability except for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of their duties.

(g)Subsidiary Awards. In the case of a grant of an Award to any Participant employed by a Subsidiary, such grant may, if the Committee so directs, be implemented by the Company issuing any subject shares of Common Stock to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may determine, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the shares of Common Stock to the

10

Participant in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.

7. Plan Awards

(a)Terms Set Forth in Award Agreement. Awards may be granted at any time and from time to time prior to the termination of the Plan to Eligible Persons as determined by the Committee. The terms and conditions of each Award shall be set forth in an Award Agreement in a form approved by the Committee for such Award, which Award Agreement may contain such terms and conditions as specified from time to time by the Committee, provided such terms and conditions do not conflict with the Plan. The Award Agreement for any Award (other than Restricted Stock Awards) shall include the time or times at or within which and the consideration, if any, for which any shares of Common Stock may be acquired from the Company. The terms of Awards may vary among Participants, and the Plan does not impose upon the Committee any requirement to make Awards subject to uniform terms. Accordingly, the terms of individual Award Agreements may vary.

(b)Rights of a Stockholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by an Award (including voting rights) until the date the Participant becomes the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to such date, except as provided in Section 10(b) (with respect to Restricted Stock Awards) or Section 15, or as otherwise provided by the Committee.

8. Options

(a)Grant, Term and Price. The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of any Option shall occur at such time and be subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee or under criteria established by the Committee, which may include conditions based on continued employment, passage of time, attainment of age and/or service requirements, and/or satisfaction of performance conditions. The term of an Option shall in no event be greater than ten years. If the exercise of an Option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) following the Participant’s Termination of Employment (other than for Cause) would be prohibited by law or the Company’s insider trading policy, then the Option will terminate on the earlier of (i) 30 days following the date such prohibition no longer applies, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option. The Committee will establish the price at which Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of an Option, which, in no event will be less than the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of grant; provided, however, that the exercise price per share of Common Stock with respect to an Option that is granted as a Substitute Award may be less than the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date such Option is granted as a Substitute Award if such exercise price is based on a formula set forth in the terms of the options held by such optionees or in the terms of the agreement providing for such merger or other acquisition that satisfies the requirements of (i) Section 409A of the Code, if such options held by such optionees are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, and (ii) Section 424(a) of the Code, if such options held by such optionees are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options. The exercise price of any Option may be paid in cash or such other method as determined by the Committee, including an irrevocable commitment by a broker to pay over such amount from a sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable under an Option, the delivery of previously owned shares of Common Stock or withholding of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise.

(b)No Repricing without Stockholder Approval. Other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 15), the Committee shall not, without stockholder approval, reduce the exercise price of a previously awarded Option and, at any time when the exercise price of a previously awarded Option is above the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock, the

11

Committee shall not, without stockholder approval, cancel and re-grant or exchange such Option for cash or a new Award with a lower (or no) exercise price.

(c)No Reload Grants. Options shall not be granted under the Plan in consideration for and shall not be conditioned upon the delivery of shares of Common Stock to the Company in payment of the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligation under any other stock option.

(d)Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, in the case of the grant of an Option intending to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, if the Participant owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (a “10% Stockholder”), the exercise price of such Option must be at least 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of grant and the Option must expire within a period of not more than five years from the date of grant. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8 to the contrary, Options designated as Incentive Stock Options shall not be eligible for treatment under the Code as Incentive Stock Options (and will be deemed to be Nonqualified Stock Options) to the extent that either (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Common Stock (determined as of the time of grant) with respect to which such Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted, or (ii) such Options otherwise remain exercisable but are not exercised within three months of the employee’s termination of employment with the Company (or a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” as defined in Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code) for any reason other than death or “disability” (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), or twelve months of the employee’s termination of employment with the Company (or a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation”) if the employee terminates due to death or “disability.”

(e)No Stockholder Rights. Participants shall have no voting rights and will have no rights to receive dividends or Dividend Equivalents in respect of an Option or any shares of Common Stock subject to an Option until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares.

9. Stock Appreciation Rights

(a)General Terms. The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of any Stock Appreciation Right shall occur at such time and be subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee or under criteria established by the Committee, which may include conditions based on continued employment, passage of time, attainment of age and/or service requirements, and/or satisfaction of performance conditions. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Participants from time to time either in tandem with or as a component of Options granted under the Plan (“tandem SARs”) or not in conjunction with other Awards (“freestanding SARs”). Upon exercise of a tandem SAR as to some or all of the shares covered by the grant, the related Option shall be canceled automatically to the extent of the number of shares covered by such exercise. Conversely, if the related Option is exercised as to some or all of the shares covered by the grant, the related tandem SAR, if any, shall be canceled automatically to the extent of the number of shares covered by the Option exercise. Any Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option may be granted at the same time such Option is granted or at any time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such Option, provided that the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the date of the tandem SAR’s grant is not greater than the exercise price of the related Option. All freestanding SARs shall be granted subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to Options as set forth in Section 8 and all tandem SARs shall have the same exercise price as the Option to which they relate. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 and the immediately preceding sentence, the Committee may impose such other conditions or restrictions on any Stock Appreciation Right as it shall deem appropriate. Stock Appreciation Rights may be settled in Common Stock, cash, Restricted Stock or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

12

(b)No Repricing without Stockholder Approval. Other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 15), the Committee shall not, without stockholder approval, reduce the exercise price of a previously awarded Stock Appreciation Right and, at any time when the exercise price of a previously awarded Stock Appreciation Right is above the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock, the Committee shall not, without stockholder approval, cancel and re-grant or exchange such Stock Appreciation Right for cash or a new Award with a lower (or no) exercise price.

(c)No Stockholder Rights. Participants shall have no voting rights and will have no rights to receive dividends or Dividend Equivalents in respect of an Award of Stock Appreciation Rights or any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award of Stock Appreciation Rights until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares.

10. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

(a)Vesting and Performance Conditions. The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of any Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall occur at such time and be subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee or under criteria established by the Committee, which may include conditions based on continued employment, passage of time, attainment of age and/or service requirements, and /or satisfaction of performance conditions. In addition, the Committee shall have the right to grant Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards as the form of payment for grants or rights earned or due under other stockholder-approved compensation plans or arrangements of the Company.

(b)Dividends and Distributions. Participants in whose name Restricted Stock is granted shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to those shares of Common Stock, unless determined otherwise by the Committee. The Committee will determine whether any such dividends or distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of Restricted Stock and/or subject to the same restrictions on transferability as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were distributed or whether such dividends or distributions will be paid in cash. Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units shall be entitled to dividends or Dividend Equivalents only to the extent provided by the Committee and specified in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, in no event will dividends or Dividend Equivalents be paid during the period of performance with respect to unearned Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units that are subject to performance-based vesting criteria. Dividends or Dividend Equivalents accrued on such shares shall become payable no earlier than the date the performance based vesting criteria have been achieved and the underlying shares or Restricted Stock Units have been earned.

11. Performance Incentive Award

(a)General. The Committee will have the authority, at the time of grant of any Award (other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date of grant), to designate the Award as a Performance Incentive Award to qualify the Award as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. In addition, the Committee will have the authority to make an Award of a cash bonus to any Participant and designate the Award as a Performance Incentive Award to qualify the Award as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

(b)Eligibility. The Committee will designate within the first 90 days of a Performance Period (or, if longer or shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code) which Eligible Persons will be eligible to receive Performance Incentive Awards in respect of such Performance Period.

13

(c)Discretion of Committee with Respect to Performance Incentive Awards. For each particular Performance Period, the Committee will have full discretion to select the length of the Performance Period, the type(s) of Performance Incentive Awards to be issued, the Performance Criteria that will be used to establish the Performance Goals, the kind(s) and/or level(s) of the Performance Goal(s) that is (are) to apply to the Company and the Performance Formula. Within the first 90 days of a Performance Period (or, if longer or shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, with regard to the Performance Incentive Awards to be issued for the Performance Period, exercise its discretion with respect to each of the matters enumerated in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 11(c) and record the same in writing.

(d) Payment of Performance Incentive Awards.

(1)Condition to Receipt of Payment. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on the last day of a Performance Period to be eligible for payment in respect of a Performance Incentive Award for the Performance Period.

(2)Limitation. A Participant will be eligible to receive payment in respect of a Performance Incentive Award only to the extent that: (A) the Performance Goals for the period are achieved; and (B) the Performance Formula as applied against the Performance Goals determines that all or some portion of the Participant’s Performance Incentive Award has been earned for the Performance Period.

(3)Certification. Following the completion of a Performance Period, the Committee shall review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved and, if so, calculate and certify in writing the amount of the Performance Incentive Awards earned for the period based upon the Performance Formula. The Committee will then determine the actual size of each Participant’s Performance Incentive Award for the Performance Period and, in so doing, may apply Negative Discretion in accordance with Section 11(d)(4), if and when it deems appropriate.

(4)Use of Discretion. In determining the actual size of an individual Performance Incentive Award for a Performance Period, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Performance Incentive Award earned under the Performance Formula in the Performance Period through the use of Negative Discretion if, in its sole judgment, such reduction or elimination is appropriate. The Committee shall not have the discretion to (A) grant or provide payment in respect of Performance Incentive Awards for a Performance Period if the Performance Goals for such Performance Period have not been attained or (B) increase a Performance Incentive Award above the maximum amount payable under Section 5(d).

(e)Timing of Award Payments. Performance Incentive Awards granted for a Performance Period shall be paid to Participants following completion of the certifications required by this Section 11 as provided in the applicable Award Agreement.

(f)Service Requirement. A Performance Incentive Award may, but need not, require the Participant’s completion of a specified period of service prior to payment or settlement.

12. Other Stock-Based Awards

Other forms of Awards valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise payable in, or based on, shares of Common Stock, may be granted under the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee will have sole and complete authority to determine which Eligible Persons and the time or times at which Other Stock-Based Awards will be granted, the number of shares of Common Stock or share units (or the

14

cash equivalent of the shares or units) to be granted and all other terms and conditions of the Other Stock-Based Awards.

13. Deferral of Payment

The Committee may, in an Award Agreement or other written instrument or agreement, provide for the deferred delivery of Common Stock or cash upon settlement, vesting, payment, satisfaction or other events with respect to Awards (other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date of grant). Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in no event will any election to defer the delivery of Common Stock or any other payment with respect to any Award be allowed if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the deferral would result in the imposition of the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code. The Company, the Board and the Committee shall have no liability to a Participant, or any other person, if an Award that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Board or the Committee.

14. Conditions and Restrictions Upon Securities Subject to Awards

The Committee may provide that the Common Stock issued upon exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or otherwise subject to or issued under an Award shall be subject to such further agreements, restrictions, conditions or limitations as the Committee in its discretion may specify prior to the exercise of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right or the grant, vesting or settlement of such Award, including without limitation, conditions on vesting or transferability, forfeiture or repurchase provisions and method of payment for the Common Stock issued upon exercise, vesting or settlement of such Award (including the actual or constructive surrender of Common Stock already owned by the Participant) or payment of taxes arising in connection with an Award. Without limiting the foregoing, such restrictions may address the timing and manner of any resales by the Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any shares of Common Stock issued under an Award, including without limitation (i) restrictions under an insider trading policy or pursuant to applicable law, (ii) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Participant and holders of other Company equity compensation arrangements, (iii) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers and (iv) provisions requiring Common Stock be sold on the open market or to the Company in order to satisfy tax withholding or other obligations.

15. Adjustment of and Changes in the Stock

(a)The number and kind of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan (including under any Awards then outstanding), and the number and kind of shares of Common Stock subject to the limits set forth in Section 5, shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee to reflect any reorganization, reclassification, combination of shares, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, dividend or distribution of securities, property or cash (other than regular, quarterly cash dividends), or any other event or transaction that affects the number or kind of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Such adjustment may be designed to comply with Section 424 of the Code or may be designed to treat the shares of Common Stock available under the Plan and subject to Awards as if they were all outstanding on the record date for such event or transaction or to increase the number of such shares of Common Stock to reflect a deemed reinvestment in shares of Common Stock of the amount distributed to the Company’s securityholders. The terms of any outstanding Award shall also be equitably adjusted by the Committee as to price, number or kind of shares of Common Stock subject to such Award, vesting, and other terms to reflect the foregoing events, which adjustments need not be uniform as between different Awards or different types of Awards. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to such an adjustment.

15

(b)In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any stock or other securities into which such Common Stock shall have been changed, or for which it shall have been exchanged, by reason of a Change in Control, other merger, consolidation or otherwise, then the Committee shall determine the appropriate and equitable adjustment to be effected, which adjustments need not be uniform between different Awards or different types of Awards. In addition, in the event of such change described in this paragraph, the Committee may accelerate the time or times at which any Award may be exercised, consistent with and as otherwise permitted under Section 409A of the Code, and may provide for cancellation of such accelerated Awards that are not exercised within a time prescribed by the Committee in its sole discretion.

(c)Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Award Agreement or another contract, including an employment agreement, or under the terms of a transaction constituting a Change in Control, the Committee may provide that any or all of the following shall occur upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment without Cause within 24 months following a Change in Control (with respect to Awards that are assumed or continued in connection with the Change in Control): (i) in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant shall have the ability to exercise any portion of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right not previously exercisable, (ii) in the case of any Award (other than a Performance Incentive Award) the vesting of which is in whole or in part subject to performance conditions, all conditions to the grant, issuance, retention, vesting or transferability of, or any other restrictions applicable to, such Award shall immediately lapse and the Participant shall have the right to receive a payment based on performance through a date determined by the Committee, (iii) in the case of outstanding Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units (other than those referenced in subsection (ii)), all conditions to the grant, issuance, retention, vesting or transferability of, or any other restrictions applicable to, such Award shall immediately lapse, and (iv) Performance Incentive Awards will be subject to vesting or payment (if any), as set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control in which the acquiring or surviving company in the transaction does not assume or continue outstanding Awards upon the Change in Control, immediately prior to the Change in Control, all Awards that are not assumed or continued shall be treated as follows effective immediately prior to the Change in Control: (w) in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant shall have the ability to exercise such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, including any portion of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right not previously exercisable, (x) in the case of any Award the vesting of which is in whole or in part subject to performance conditions (other than a Performance Incentive Award), all conditions to the grant, issuance, retention, vesting or transferability of, or any other restrictions applicable to, such Award shall immediately lapse and the Participant shall have the right to receive a payment based on performance through a date determined by the Committee, (y) in the case of outstanding Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units (other than those referenced in subsection (x)), all conditions to the grant, issuance, retention, vesting or transferability of, or any other restrictions applicable to, such Award shall immediately lapse, and (z) Performance Incentive Awards will be subject to vesting or payment (if any), as set forth in the Award Agreement. In no event shall any action be taken pursuant to this Section 15(c) that would change the payment or settlement date of an Award in a manner that would result in the imposition of any additional taxes or penalties pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15 to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may provide for the cancelation and cash settlement of all outstanding Awards upon such Change in Control.

(e)The Company shall notify Participants holding Awards subject to any adjustments pursuant to this Section 15 of such adjustment, but (whether or not notice is given) such adjustment shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

16

(f)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15 to the contrary, an adjustment to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right under this Section 15 shall be made in a manner that will not result in the grant of a new Option or Stock Appreciation Right under Section 409A of the Code.

16. Transferability

Each Award may not be sold, transferred for value, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and each Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable only by the Participant during his or her lifetime. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) outstanding Options may be exercised following the Participant’s death by the Participant’s beneficiaries or as permitted by the Committee and (ii) a Participant may transfer or assign an Award as a gift to an entity wholly owned by such Participant (an “Assignee Entity”), provided that such Assignee Entity shall be entitled to exercise assigned Options and Stock Appreciation Rights only during the lifetime of the assigning Participant (or following the assigning Participant’s death, by the Participant’s beneficiaries or as otherwise permitted by the Committee) and provided further that such Assignee Entity shall not further sell, pledge, transfer, assign or otherwise alienate or hypothecate such Award.

17. Compliance with Laws and Regulations

The Plan, the grant, issuance, vesting, exercise and settlement of Awards under the Plan, and the obligation of the Company to sell, issue or deliver shares of Common Stock under such Awards, shall be subject to all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, stock exchange rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. The Company shall not be required to register in a Participant’s name or deliver Common Stock prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of such shares under any foreign, federal, state or local law or any ruling or regulation of any government body which the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable. To the extent the Company is unable to or the Committee deems it infeasible to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company and its Affiliates shall be relieved of any liability with respect to the failure to issue or sell such shares of Common Stock as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. No Option shall be exercisable and no Common Stock shall be issued and/or transferable under any other Award unless a registration statement with respect to the Common Stock underlying such Option is effective and current or the Company has determined that such registration is unnecessary. In the event an Award is granted to or held by a Participant who is employed or providing services outside the United States, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, modify the provisions of the Plan or of such Award as they pertain to such individual to comply with applicable foreign law or to recognize differences in local law, currency or tax policy. The Committee may also impose conditions on the grant, issuance, exercise, vesting, settlement or retention of Awards in order to comply with such foreign law and/or to minimize the Company’s obligations with respect to tax equalization for Participants employed outside their home country.

18. Withholding

To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, the Committee may and/or a Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise with respect to any Award, or the issuance or sale of any shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not be required to recognize any Participant rights under an Award, to issue shares of Common Stock or to recognize the disposition of such shares of Common Stock until such obligations are satisfied. To the extent permitted or required by the Committee, these obligations may or

17

shall be satisfied by the Company withholding cash from any compensation otherwise payable to or for the benefit of a Participant, the Company withholding a portion of the shares of Common Stock that otherwise would be issued to a Participant under such Award or any other award held by the Participant or by the Participant tendering to the Company cash or, if allowed by the Committee, shares of Common Stock.

19. Amendment of the Plan or Awards

The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan and the Committee may amend, or alter any agreement or other document evidencing an Award made under the Plan but, except as provided pursuant to the provisions of Section 15, no such amendment shall, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company:

(a) increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which Awards may be granted under the Plan;

(b)reduce the price at which Options may be granted below the price provided for in Section 8(a);

(c)reprice outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights as described in 8(b) and 9(b);

(d)extend the term of the Plan;

(e)change the class of persons eligible to be Participants;

(f)increase the limits in Section 5(c) or Section 5(d); or

(g)otherwise amend the Plan in any manner requiring stockholder approval by law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

No amendment or alteration to the Plan or an Award or Award Agreement shall be made that would impair the rights of the holder of an Award, without such holder’s consent, provided that no such consent shall be required if the Committee determines in its sole discretion and prior to the date of any Change in Control that such amendment or alteration either (i) is required or advisable in order for the Company, the Plan or the Award to satisfy any law or regulation or to meet the requirements of or avoid adverse financial accounting consequences under any accounting standard, or (ii) is not reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Award, or that any such diminishment has been adequately compensated.

20. No Liability of Company

The Company or any Affiliate that is in existence or after the Effective Date comes into existence, the Board and the Committee shall not be liable to a Participant or any other person as to: (a) the non-issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Common Stock under the Plan or pursuant to any Award; and (b) any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Award granted under the Plan.

21. Non-Exclusivity of Plan

Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including without limitation, the granting of restricted stock or stock options otherwise than under the Plan or an

18

arrangement not intended to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Code, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

22. Governing Law

The Plan and any agreements or other documents under the Plan shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable federal law. Any reference in the Plan or in the agreement or other document evidencing any Awards to a provision of law or to a rule or regulation shall be deemed to include any successor law, rule or regulation of similar effect or applicability.

23. No Right to Employment, Reelection or Continued Service

Nothing in the Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, or its Affiliates to terminate any Participant’s employment, service on the Board or service for the Company at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law, nor shall the Plan or an Award itself confer upon any Participant any right to continue his or her employment or service for any specified period of time. Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under the Plan shall constitute an employment contract or service agreement with the Company, or its Affiliates. Subject to Sections 4 and 19, the Plan and the benefits under the Plan may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Board without giving rise to any liability on the part of the Company, or its Affiliates.

24. Section 409A of the Code

The Plan, the Award Agreements and any payments under the Plan are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) to avoid the incurrence of the adverse tax consequences under Section 409A and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, will be interpreted and administered to be exempt from or in compliance with Section 409A. To the extent any payment under the Plan is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A, such payment may not be made to a “specified employee” (as determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, in accordance with Section 409A) upon a “separation from service” (as defined under Section 409A) before the date that is six months after the specified employee’s separation from service (or if earlier, the specified employee’s death). Any payment that would otherwise be made during this period of delay will be accumulated and paid on the first business day of the seventh month following the specified employee’s separation from service (or if earlier, the specified employee’s death).

25. No Liability of Committee Members

No member of the Committee shall be personally liable by reason of any contract or other instrument executed by such member or on his behalf in his capacity as a member of the Committee nor for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other employee, officer or director of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan unless arising out of such person’s own fraud or willful bad faith; provided, however, that approval of the Board shall be required for the payment of any amount in settlement of a claim against any such person. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or By-laws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

19

26. Severability

If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR

PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

1. GENERAL

Continental Building Products, Inc. (the “Company”), has granted to the Participant named in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) an award of a maximum number of performance-based restricted stock units (the “Award” or the “PRSUs”) under the Continental Building Products, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Award is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, these Standard Terms and Conditions, and the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are hereby incorporated into these Standard Terms and Conditions by this reference, each as amended from time to time. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the Grant Notice and these Standard Terms and Conditions will have the meaning set forth in the Plan. The Award is intended to be a Performance Incentive Award under Section 11 of the Plan.

2. EARNING OF PRSUs

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and these Standard Terms and Conditions, the Participant will be entitled to receive, for each PRSU earned in accordance with this Section 2 and Appendix A to these Standard Terms and Conditions (“Appendix A”), one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”). The Participant will earn the number of PRSUs set forth in the Grant Notice for achievement at the maximum performance goal as specified in Appendix A, and subject to adjustment for achievement below the maximum performance goal in accordance with Appendix A. If the threshold performance level set forth in Appendix A is not achieved, none of the PRSUs granted to the Participant will be earned. The Committee shall certify the level of achievement of the performance goal as soon as practicable following the end of the Performance Period and at such time shall determine the number of PRSUs the Participant is eligible to receive, subject to Section 3 and Section 4 below.

3. VESTING AND SETTLEMENT OF PRSUs

(a) The PRSUs will be subject to a one-year continuous employment period following the end of the Performance Period and will become vested on the Vesting Date. Subject to these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan, shares of Common Stock equal to the number of PRSUs the Participant has earned will be issued and delivered to the Participant as described in Section 3(b) below if the Participant has been continuously employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries through the Vesting Date. Other than as explicitly provided in Section 4 below, there will be no proportionate or partial vesting and/or vesting in the periods prior to the Vesting Date, and all vesting will occur only on the Vesting Date.

(b) Except as explicitly provided in Section 4 below with respect to proportionate or partial vesting and/or vesting in the periods prior to the Vesting Date, on or within 30 days following the Vesting Date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Participant the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of vested PRSUs the Participant earns.

4. VESTING AND SETTLEMENT OF PRSUs ON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

(a) Termination of Employment Prior to a Change in Control: After Performance Period and Committee Certification.

(i) In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Employment prior to a Change in Control by the Company without Cause or due to the Participant’s death, disability (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(C)(i) or (ii)) or retirement after age 65 and the Termination of Employment occurs after the end of the Performance Period and the Committee’s certification of the achievement of the performance goal, the Participant will vest in and become entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the PRSUs that the Participant would have been entitled to receive had the Participant been employed by the Company through the Vesting Date, based on the actual level of achievement of the performance goal set forth in Appendix A as certified by the Committee at the end of the Performance Period. The pro rata portion will be determined by multiplying the number of PRSUs the Participant would have been entitled to receive if the Participant had not incurred the Termination of Employment by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Participant was employed during the period beginning on the first day of the Performance Period and the denominator of which is the total number of days beginning on the first day of Performance Period and ending on the Vesting Date.

(b) Termination of Employment Prior to a Change in Control: During Performance Period or Before Committee Certification.

(i) In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Employment prior to a Change in Control by the Company without Cause or due to the Participant’s death, disability (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(C)(i) or (ii)) or retirement after age 65 and the Termination of Employment occurs before the end of the Performance Period, or coincident with or after the end of the Performance Period and before the Committee’s certification of the achievement of the performance goal, the Participant will vest in and become entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the PRSUs that the Participant would have been entitled to receive had the Participant been employed by the Company through the Vesting Date, based on the actual level of achievement of the performance goal set forth in Appendix A as certified by the Committee at the end of the Performance Period. The pro rata portion will be determined by multiplying the number of PRSUs the Participant would have been entitled to receive if the Participant had not incurred the Termination of Employment by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Participant was employed during the period beginning on the first day of the Performance Period and the denominator of which is the total number of days beginning on the first day of Performance Period and ending on the Vesting Date.

(ii) The Company shall issue and deliver to the Participant the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of PRSUs the Participant is entitled to as determined in accordance with Section 4(b)(i) above:

(B) with respect to a Retirement-Eligible Participant, on or within 30 days following the Vesting Date.

(c) Termination of Employment on or Following a Change in Control: After Performance Period and Committee Certification.

(i) In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Employment without Cause on or within 24 months following the occurrence of a Change in Control and the Termination of Employment occurs after the end of the Performance Period and the Committee’s certification of the achievement of the performance goal, the Participant will vest in and become entitled to receive the number of PRSUs that the Participant would have been entitled to receive had the Participant been employed by the Company through the Vesting Date, based on the actual level of achievement of the performance goal set forth in Appendix A as certified by the Committee at the end of the Performance Period.

(ii) The Company shall issue and deliver to the Participant the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of PRSUs the Participant is entitled to as determined in accordance with Section 4(c)(i) above on or within 30 days following the Participant’s Termination of Employment, and in no event later than March 15th of the year following the year in which the Participant’s Termination of Employment occurs.

3

(d) Termination of Employment on or Following a Change in Control: During Performance Period or Before Committee Certification.

(i) In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Employment without Cause on or within 24 months following the occurrence of a Change in Control and the Termination of Employment occurs before the end of the Performance Period, or coincident with or after the end of the Performance Period and before the Committee’s certification of the achievement of the performance goal set forth in Appendix A, the Participant will vest in and become entitled to receive the number of PRSUs that the Participant would have been entitled to receive had the Participant been employed by the Company through the Vesting Date, based on the actual level of achievement of the performance goal set forth in Appendix A as certified by the Committee at the end of the Performance Period.

(ii) The Company shall issue and deliver to the Participant the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of PRSUs the Participant is entitled to as determined in accordance with Section 4(d)(i) above on or within 30 days following the Committee’s certification of the achievement of the performance goal at the end of the Performance Period, and in no event later than March 15th of the year following the year in which the Performance Period ends.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AND CHANGE IN CONTROL PLAN

Article 1 - Introduction

1.1Purpose of Plan. The Company considers it essential and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to promote and preserve the continuous employment of key management personnel. The Compensation Committee recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, a Change in Control, and the uncertainty and questions that it may raise among management may result in departure or distraction of key management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders. Therefore, the Compensation Committee has adopted this Continental Building Products, Inc. Amended and Restated Executive Severance and Change in Control Plan (the “Plan”) to enable certain key management personnel to devote their full and continued attention to the Company’s business affairs during the crucial (and often tumultuous) period preceding and immediately following a Change in Control. The Plan is also intended to provide for severance payments to a Participant whose employment is terminated under certain circumstances not involving a Change in Control. This Plan document is also the summary plan description of the Plan.

These amounts will be paid no later than thirty (30) days after the Participant’s Date of Termination and where applicable will be based on the rate of compensation and value of benefits in effect on the Participant’s Date of Termination.

2.2 “Administrator” means the Compensation Committee, or such other person or committee as may be appointed from time to time by the Board or Compensation Committee to supervise administration of the Plan.

2.3 “Applicable Severance Period” means (a) with respect to a Tier I Executive, the period of twenty-four (24) months immediately following the Tier I Executive’s Date of Termination; and (b) with respect to a Tier II Executive, the period of twelve (12) months immediately following the Tier II Executive’s Date of Termination.

(b) the acquisition by any person or group (within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company, of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company provided, however, that the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall not include the acquisition of voting securities by any entity or person with respect to which that acquirer has filed SEC Schedule 13G (or any successor form or filing) indicating that the voting securities were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing, directly or indirectly, the Company’s management or policies, unless and until that entity or person indicates that its intent has changed by filing SEC Schedule 13D (or any successor form or filing);

4

the notice is delivered, or the Company does not contest that Good Reason exists; and (b) the Date of Termination is within the Protected Period, then the Company will pay or provide to the CIC Participant the payments and benefits described in Article 5.

If the Company Terminates a Participant (a) without Cause, or (b) a Participant Terminates for Good Reason by delivering to the Company a written notice that specifies in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis upon which the Participant believes that Good Reason has arisen; provided that the Company does not cure such Good Reason event within 30 days after the notice is delivered, or the Company does not contest that Good Reason exists; and (c) such Termination is either (i) not connected with a Change in Control or (ii) connected with a Change in Control but not within the Protected Period, then the Company will pay or provide to the Participant the payments and benefits described in Article 6.

4.3Termination for Any Other Reason. If the Participant Terminates for any reason other than those described in either Section 4.1 or 4.2, including, but not limited to, death, disability, voluntary retirement, termination by the Company for Cause, or voluntary resignation, no payments or benefits will be paid or due to or on behalf of the Participant under this Plan at any time. Notwithstanding this Section 4.3, a Participant may be entitled to benefits under other plans maintained by the Company if the terms of such plans provide such benefits.

4.4Effect of Employment Agreement. If, at any time a Participant is employed by the Company pursuant to an employment agreement (“Employment Agreement”), the following rules of application will be applied:

(a) If a term is defined in the Plan and in the Employment Agreement and those definitions are not identical, the definition contained in the Employment Agreement will supersede and replace the definition contained in the Plan for purposes of applying that term under both the Plan and the Employment Agreement; and

(b) If an event or a series of related events entitle a Participant to payments under both the Employment Agreement and Article 5 or Article 6, the Participant will be entitled to the payments due under Article 5 or Article 6 reduced by the amounts (if any) received under the Employment Agreement before the payments become due under the Plan and no further payments will be due under the Employment Agreement.

Article 5 - Change in Control Payments and Benefits

5.1Change in Control Payments. If a CIC Participant is eligible for payments and benefits under Section 4.1, the Company will:

(a) Pay the Accrued Obligations; and

Subject to the CIC Participant’s execution of the Release and the Release becoming effective within the Release Execution Period (as these terms are defined in Section 8.1), the Company will:

(b) Make a severance payment to the CIC Participant equal to the product of (i) the Benefit Multiplier and (ii) the sum of such CIC Participant’s Base Salary and Bonus Amount;

(c) Pay the actual bonus that would have been payable to the CIC Participant for the calendar year that includes the Date of Termination based on actual performance as if the CIC Participant had remained employed through the end of such calendar year; provided, however, that such amount shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis based on the number of days the CIC Participant was actually employed during the bonus plan year in which the Date of Termination occurs;

(d) Continue for the Applicable Severance Period after the CIC Participant’s Date of Termination, to provide for the CIC Participant’s continued benefit (and that of all family members and other dependents who were enrolled in the programs on the CIC Participant’s Date of Termination) all life, disability, medical, dental and/or vision insurance programs in which the CIC Participant (or members of the CIC Participant’s family or other dependents) was participating or was covered immediately before the CIC Participant’s Date of Termination. If the terms of any of the programs just described do not allow the continued participation described in the preceding sentence, the Company will (i) provide benefits that are substantially similar (including eligibility conditions, conditions on benefits, the value of benefits and the scope of coverage) to those provided by the life, disability, medical, dental and/or vision insurance programs in which the CIC Participant (or members of the CIC Participant’s family or other dependents) was participating immediately before the CIC Participant’s Date of Termination and (ii) ensure that any eligibility or other conditions on benefits under these programs, including deductibles and co-payments, will be administered by applying the CIC Participant’s experience under any predecessor program in which the CIC Participant (or members of the CIC Participant’s family or other dependents) was participating immediately before the CIC Participant’s Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1(d), in the event the Company is unable to provide any of the above promised benefits under its benefit plans, the Company will reimburse the CIC Participant for amounts

5

necessary to enable the CIC Participant to obtain similar benefits substantially equal to what was provided to the CIC Participant immediately prior to the CIC Participant’s Date of Termination taking into account the amount of co-payment required by the CIC Participant. To the extent that any benefit extended under this Section 5.1(d) would result in taxable compensation for the CIC Participant, the CIC Participant shall be solely responsible for any such taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a CIC Participant becomes reemployed with another employer and becomes eligible to receive group health plan coverage from such employer, the Company’s obligations under this Section 5.1(d) shall cease as of the date such CIC Participant commences such new employment. The CIC Participant shall promptly notify the Company of any such new employment; and

(e) Outstanding equity awards (other than equity awards granted in the calendar year 2014) shall be treated as follows: (i) all outstanding and unvested stock options and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) shall immediately vest and (along with all other outstanding and vested stock options and SARs) shall remain exercisable for a period of ninety (90) days from the Date of Termination or the last day of the stock option or SAR term, whichever occurs first; (ii) all restrictions on unvested shares of restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units shall immediately lapse, with such shares and units becoming nonforfeitable (and payment in settlement of the restricted stock units will be determined as set forth in the applicable award agreement) except to the extent that an award meeting the requirements of a Replacement Award is provided to the CIC Participant holding such award to replace or adjust such outstanding award (a “Replaced Award”). An award shall qualify as a “Replacement Award” if: (a) it has a value at least equal to the value of the Replaced Award as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; (b) it relates to publicly traded equity securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change in Control; and (c) its other terms and conditions are not less favorable to the Participant than the terms and conditions of the Replaced Award (including the provisions that would apply in the event of a subsequent Change in Control). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the preceding sentence are satisfied. The determination of whether the conditions of the Replacement Award are satisfied shall be made by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion. Further, any unearned performance shares and unearned performance units granted before January 1, 2017, shall be deemed to have been earned assuming achievement of one-hundred (100) percent of target level performance and payment in settlement of the performance units will be determined as set forth in the applicable award agreement. Upon a termination of a CIC Participant’s employment pursuant to Section 4.1 the Replacement Awards shall become fully vested, exercisable, and free of restrictions. In the event that the scheduled expiration date of an option or SAR shall fall within a blackout period that has been declared by the Company and that applies to the CIC Participant, then the expiration date shall automatically be extended until such time as fifteen (15) consecutive business days have elapsed after the scheduled expiration date without interruption by any applicable blackout period (but not past the last day of the stock option or SAR term). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.1(e), the treatment of any outstanding equity award previously granted to the CIC Participant will be determined in accordance with the terms of the equity plan and award agreement pursuant to which such award was granted.

(f) In addition to the payments and benefits described above, the CIC Participant shall receive any other change in control benefits to which the CIC Participant is entitled under any other plan, program or agreement with the Company. Such benefits shall be provided in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plan, program or agreement.

5.2Form and Timing of Change in Control Severance Payments. For all CIC Participants, unless a payment delay is required under Section 7.4, the change in control severance payments described in: (a) Section 5.1(a) shall be made in a single lump sum no later than thirty (30) days after the CIC Participant’s Date of Termination; (b) Section 5.1(b) shall be made in a single lump sum payment within sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the Release Execution Period begins in one taxable year and ends in another taxable year, payment will not be made until the beginning of the second taxable year; and (c) Section 5.1(c) shall be made in a single lump sum at the same time as annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company but not later than March 15th next following the Date of Termination.

5.3Treatment Under Code Section 280G.

(a) Anything in the Plan or any other plan, arrangement or agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payments or benefits provided or to be provided by the Company to the CIC Participant or for the CIC Participant’s benefit under the terms of this Plan or otherwise (the “Covered Payments”), would be subject to an Excise Tax, then the Covered Payments shall be either (i) provided to the CIC Participant in full, or (ii) provided to the CIC Participant but reduced (but not below zero) to the maximum amount that could be paid to the CIC Participant without giving rise to an Excise Tax (the “Safe Harbor Cap”), whichever of the foregoing amounts, when taking into account applicable federal, state, local and foreign income and employment taxes, the Excise Tax, and any other applicable taxes, results in the receipt by the CIC Participant, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Covered Payments may be taxable under the Excise Tax. The reduction of the Covered Payments, if applicable, shall occur in

6

accordance with Code Section 409A and in the following order: (i) any cash severance payable to the CIC Participant, (ii) any other cash amount payable to the CIC Participant, (iii) the acceleration of vesting of any equity-based awards that are subject to performance vesting, (iv) the acceleration of vesting of any equity-based awards that are not subject to performance vesting, and (v) reduction of all other Covered Payments shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion and consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A. In the case of the reductions of Covered Payments to be made pursuant to each of the above-mentioned clauses, the cash payments to be reduced and the acceleration of vesting to be cancelled shall be reduced or cancelled in the inverse order of their originally scheduled dates of payment or vesting, as applicable, and shall be so reduced (x) only to the extent that the Covered Payment would be treated as a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G and (y) only to the extent necessary to achieve the Safe Harbor Cap.

(b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 5.3 shall be made by a public accounting firm that is retained by the Company to provide tax advice as of the date immediately prior to the Change in Control (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the CIC Participant as requested by the Company. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 5.3, the Accounting Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of the Code and other applicable legal authority. The Company and the applicable CIC Participant shall furnish to the Accounting Firm such information and documents as the Accounting Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 5.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event (i) the Compensation Committee shall determine prior to the Change in Control that the Accounting Firm is precluded from performing such services under applicable auditor independence rules or (ii) the Audit Committee of the Board determines that it does not want the Accounting Firm to perform such services because of auditor independence concerns or (iii) the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Audit Committee shall appoint another nationally recognized public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Accounting Firm in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 5.3 shall be borne by the Company.

(c) If any good faith dispute arises regarding the determination of a payment of an Excise Tax, then the Company shall pay any and all of the CIC Participant’s professional fees and expenses relating to such dispute, including but not limited to the CIC Participant’s reasonable attorney’s fees.

Article 6 - Severance Benefits

6.1Severance Payments. If a Severance Participant is eligible for payments and benefits under Section 4.2, the Company shall:

(a) Pay the Accrued Obligations; and

Subject to the Severance Participant’s execution of the Release and the Release becoming effective within the Release Execution Period (as these terms are defined in Section 8.1), the Company shall:

(b) Make a severance payment to the Severance Participant equal to the product of (i) the Benefit Multiplier and (ii) the Severance Participant’s Base Salary;

(c) Pay the actual bonus that would have been payable to the Severance Participant for the calendar year that includes the Date of Termination based on actual performance as if the Severance Participant had remained employed through the end of such calendar year; provided, however, that such amount shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis based on the number of days the Severance Participant was actually employed during the bonus plan year in which the Date of Termination occurs;

(d) Continue for the Applicable Severance Period after the Severance Participant’s Date of Termination, to provide for the Severance Participant’s continued benefit (and that of all family members and other dependents who were enrolled in the programs on the Severance Participant’s Date of Termination) all life, disability, medical, dental and/or vision insurance programs in which the Severance Participant (or members of the Severance Participant’s family or other dependents) was participating or was covered immediately before the Severance Participant’s Date of Termination. If the terms of any of the programs just described do not allow the continued participation described in the preceding sentence, the Company will (i) provide benefits that are substantially similar (including eligibility conditions, conditions on benefits, the value of benefits and the scope of coverage) to those provided by the life, disability, medical, dental and/or vision insurance programs in which the Severance Participant (or members of the Severance Participant’s family or other dependents) was participating immediately before the Severance Participant’s Date of Termination and (ii) ensure that any eligibility or other conditions on benefits under these programs, including deductibles and co-payments, will be administered by applying the Severance Participant’s experience under any predecessor program in which the Severance Participant (or members of the Severance Participant’s

7

family or other dependents) was participating immediately before the Severance Participant’s Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(d), in the event the Company is unable to provide any of the above promised benefits under its benefit plans, the Company will reimburse the Severance Participant for amounts necessary to enable the Severance Participant to obtain similar benefits substantially equal to what was provided to the Severance Participant immediately prior to the Severance Participant’s Date of Termination taking into account the amount of co-payment required by the Severance Participant. To the extent that any benefit extended under this Section 6.1(d) would result in taxable compensation for the Severance Participant, the Severance Participant shall be solely responsible for any such taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Severance Participant becomes reemployed with another employer and becomes eligible to receive group health plan coverage from such employer, the Company’s obligations under this Section 6.1(d) shall cease as of the date such Severance Participant commences such new employment. The Severance Participant shall promptly notify the Company of any such new employment; and

(e) Outstanding equity awards (other than equity awards granted in the calendar year 2014) shall be treated as follows: (i) all outstanding and unvested stock options and SARs shall immediately vest on a pro rata basis based on the number of days the Participant was actually employed during the vesting period up through the Date of Termination over the total number of days in the vesting period, and (along with all other outstanding vested stock options and SARs) shall remain exercisable for a period of ninety (90) days from the Date of Termination or the last day of the stock option or SAR term, whichever occurs first; and (ii) all unvested shares of restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units shall immediately be forfeited back to the Company. Further, any unearned performance shares and unearned performance units granted before January 1, 2017, shall be deemed to have been earned on a pro rata basis based on the number of days the Severance Participant was actually employed during the applicable performance period up through the Date of Termination over the total number of days in the performance period, measuring actual performance achieved as of the completion of the applicable performance period, and settlement of the performance units will be determined as set forth in the applicable award agreement. In the event that the scheduled expiration date of an option or SAR shall fall within a blackout period that has been declared by the Company and that applies to the Severance Participant, then the expiration date shall automatically be extended until such time as fifteen (15) consecutive business days have elapsed after the scheduled expiration date without interruption by any applicable blackout period (but not past the last day of the stock option or SAR term). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.1(e), the treatment of any outstanding equity award previously granted to the Severance Participant will be determined in accordance with the terms of the equity plan and award agreement pursuant to which such award was granted.

6.2Form and Timing of Severance Payments. For all Severance Participants, unless a payment delay is required under Section 7.4, the non-change in control severance payments described in: (a) Section 6.1(a) shall be made in a single lump sum no later than thirty (30) days after the Severance Participant’s Date of Termination; (b) Section 6.1(b) shall be payable in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices over the Applicable Severance Period; provided, however, that if the Release Execution Period begins in one taxable year and ends in another taxable year, payments will not begin until the beginning of the second taxable year; provided further, that the first installment payment will include all amounts that would otherwise have been paid to the Severance Participant during the period beginning on the Date of Termination and ending on the first payment date if no delay had been imposed; and (c) Section 6.1(c) shall be made in a single lump sum at the same time as annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company but not later than March 15th next following the Date of Termination.

Article 7 - Conditions Affecting Payments

7.1Other Benefits. Except as expressly provided in this Plan, a Participant’s right to receive the payments and benefits described in Article 5 or Article 6 will not decrease the amount of, or otherwise adversely affect, any other benefits payable to the Participant under any plan, program or agreement between the Participant and the Company.

7.2No Mitigation. Subject to Section 5.1(d) and Section 6.1(d) the Participant is not required to mitigate the amount of any payment described in this Plan by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor will the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in Article 5 or Article 6 be reduced by any compensation the Participant earns in any capacity after Termination or by reason of the Participant’s receipt of or right to receive any retirement or other benefits on or after Termination.

7.3Withholding. The amount of any payment made under this Plan will be reduced by amounts the Company is required to withhold with respect to any income, wage or employment taxes imposed on the payment.

7.4Payment Delay Required By Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is a Specified Employee on the Date of Termination and the Participant is entitled to a payment and/or a benefit under the Plan that is required to be delayed pursuant to Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), then such payment or benefit, as the case may be, shall not be paid or provided (or begin to be paid or provided) until the first business day of the seventh month following the Date of Termination or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death. The first payment that can be made to the Participant

8

following such postponement period shall include the cumulative amount of any payments or benefits that could not be paid or provided during such postponement period due to the application of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and thereafter, any remaining payments will be paid without delay in accordance with their original schedule.

Article 8 - Separation Agreement and Participant Obligations

8.1Separation Agreement. The obligations of the Company to pay or provide the payments and benefits described in Article 5 or Article 6 (excluding the Accrued Obligations) are contingent on the Participant’s (for him/herself, his/her heirs, legal representatives and assigns) agreement to execute a separation or like agreement in the form and substance to be provided by Company, containing a general release of the Company and their officers, directors, agents and employees from any claims or causes of action of any kind that the Participant might have, regarding his/her employment or the termination of that employment and shall require that the Participant acknowledge and agree to be subject to the Participant obligations set forth in Article 8, including specifically the obligation to repay Plan benefits pursuant to Section 8.5 (the “Release”) and such Release becoming effective within sixty (60) days following the Participant’s Date of Termination (the 60-day period, the “Release Execution Period”). The Participant understands that the release portion of the agreement will apply to the maximum extent permitted by law to all claim(s) he or she might have under any federal, state or local statute or ordinance, or the common law, for employment discrimination, wrongful discharge, breach of contract, violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, or the Family and Medical Leave Act, and all other claims related in any way to the Participant’s employment or the termination of that employment.

8.2Confidential Information. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, a Participant expressly agrees to keep and maintain Confidential Information confidential and not, at any time during or subsequent to the Participant’s employment with the Company, to use any Confidential Information for the Participant’s own benefit or todivulge, disclose or communicate any Confidential Information to any person or entity in any manner except (a) to employees or agents of the Company that need the Confidential Information to perform their duties on behalf of the Company or (b) in the performance of the Participant’s duties to the Company. The Participant also agrees to notify the Company promptly of any circumstance the Participant believes may legally compel the disclosure of Confidential Information and to give this notice before disclosing any Confidential Information.

8.3Post-Employment Restrictions. The Participant acknowledges that the Company has spent significant time, effort and resources protecting its Confidential Information and customer goodwill. The Participant further acknowledges that the Confidential Information is of significant competitive value to the Company the industry in which it competes, and that the use or disclosure, even if inadvertent, of such Confidential Information for the benefit of a competitor would cause significant damage to the legitimate business interests of the Company. Accordingly, in order to protect the legitimate business and customer goodwill interests of the Company, to protect that Confidential Information against inappropriate use or disclosure, and in consideration for the Participant’s employment and the benefits provided to the Participant (including, without limitation, the benefits payable to the Participant pursuant to this Plan), the Participant agrees as follows:

(a) Non-Competition. During the Restricted Period, the Participant shall not, without the prior written consent of the Administrator, engage in any position in which the Executive, directly or indirectly, is providing Competitive Products in the Restricted Area. The foregoing, however, shall not prevent the Participant’s passive ownership of up to five percent (5%) or less of the equity securities of any publicly traded company.

(b) Non-Solicitation of Employees.The Participant agrees that during the Restricted Period, the Participant shall not, either directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicit, recruit, or hire any Company Employee for a position of employment with an entity that provides Competitive Products. This restriction includes and applies to situations where a Company Employee initiates contact with the Participant. The Participant also agrees that, during the Participant’s employment with the Company and during the Applicable Severance Period, the Participant will not provide the names of Company Employees to other persons or entities who might have a potential interest in hiring such employee, or to any placement, recruiting or headhunting firm.

(c) Non-Piracy of Company Customers. The Participant agrees that, during the Restricted Period, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, without the Company’s written permission, solicit to provide, or provide, Competitive Products to any Company Customer.

(d) Non-Piracy of Company Prospective Customers. The Participant agrees that, during the Restricted Period, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, without the Company’s written permission, solicit to provide, or provide, Competitive Products to any Company Prospective Customer.

(e)Non-Interference with Business Contacts. The Participant agrees that, during the Restricted Period, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, without prior written approval of the Administrator, interfere with the Company’s relationship with any supplier, licensee, licensor, landlord, or other business relation of the Company (each a “Business Contact”) by: (i) soliciting or encouraging any Business Contact to terminate or diminish its relationship with the Company; or (ii) seeking to persuade any such Business Contact to conduct with any other person or entity any business or activity conducted between the Business Contact and the Company, or, to the Participant’s knowledge, any business or activity between the Business Contact and the Company under consideration by the Company as of the Date of Termination.

8.4Intellectual Property. The Participant hereby assigns to the Company all rights, including, without limitation, copyrights, patents, trade secret rights, and other intellectual property rights associated with any ideas, concepts, techniques, inventions, processes, works of authorship, Confidential Information or trade secrets (i) developed or created by the Participant, solely or jointly with others, during the course of performing work for or on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, whether as an employee or independent contractor, at any time during the Participant employment with the Company, (ii) that the Participant conceives, develops, discovers or makes in whole or in part during the Participant’s employment by the Company that relate to the business of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or the actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, (iii) that the Participant conceives, develops, discovers or makes in whole or in part during or after the Participant’s employment by the Company that are made through the use of any of the equipment, facilities, supplies, trade secrets or time of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or that result from any work the Participant performs for the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or (iv) developed or created by the Participant, solely or jointly with others, at any time before the Participant’s employment with the Company, that relate to or involve the Company’s businesses (collectively, the “Work Product”). Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent possible, all software, compilations and other original works of authorship included in the Work Product will be considered a “work made for hire” as that term is defined in Title 17 of the United States Code. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant for any reason retains any right, title or interest in or relating to any Work Product, the Participant agrees promptly to assign, in writing and without any requirement of further consideration, all such right, title, and interest to the Company. Upon request of the Company at any time during or after the Participant’s employment with the Company, the Participant will take such further actions, including execution and delivery of instruments of conveyance, as may be appropriate to evidence, perfect, record or otherwise give full and proper effect to any assignments of rights under or pursuant to this Agreement. The Participant will promptly disclose to the Company any such Work Product in writing.

8.5Non-Disparagement. The Participant agrees that he or she shall not make or publish any statement (orally or in writing) that becomes or reasonably could be expected to become publicly known or otherwise impact the Company’s business, or instigate, assist or participate in the making or publication of any such statement, which would libel, slander or disparage (whether ornot such disparagement legally constitutes libel or slander) the Company or its officers, directors and employees, or any person affiliated with the Company, or the reputations of any of its past or present stockholders, officers, directors, agents, representatives and employees unless compelled to do so by valid subpoena or other court order, and in such case only after first notifying the Company in advance of such subpoena or court order.

8.6Effect of Breach of Obligations. If a Participant breaches any obligation contained in this Article 8:

(a) If that breach occurs prior to the Participant’s Termination, his or her participation in this Plan shall terminate as of the date of the breach, even if the fact of the breach becomes apparent at a later date, and no amounts will be due under this Plan; or

(b) If that breach occurs or becomes apparent after the Participant’s Termination, no amounts will be due under this Plan and the Participant must repay any amounts paid under either Article 5 or Article 6, plus interest calculated at the prime rate of interest quoted in the Wall Street Journal, over the period beginning on the date of the payment to the Participant under the Plan and ending on the date of repayment.

8.7 Recoupment. In addition to the recovery right described in Section 8.6, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement that would trigger recoupment under the Company’s Recoupment Policy, any amount to be repaid by a Participant under the Recoupment Policy may be withheld by the Company from amounts otherwise payable by the Company to the Participant under this Plan to the extent permitted by applicable law and in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A or an applicable exemption.

8.8Reasonableness.

(a) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions in this Section 8 are reasonable as the Participant’s capabilities and training are such that he or she can obtain employment with entities that do not provide Competitive Products,

10

and further that the Participant can obtain employment with entities that provide Competitive Products as long as such employment is not engaged in providing Competitive Products.

(b) The Participant also agrees that the restrictive covenants herein: (i) are necessary for the protection of the Company’s business; (ii) will not unduly restrict the Participant’s ability to earn a livelihood; and (iii) are reasonable in time, territory, and scope. Therefore, the Participant agrees that, in addition to injunctive relief, the Company is entitled to recover from the Participant damages arising from a violation of Sections 8.2, 8.3(a), 8.3(b), 8.3(c), 8.3(d), and 8.3(e). Participant further agrees that, if Participant breaches or threatens to breach any of Participant's obligations contained herein, then the Company, in addition to any other remedies available to it under the law, may obtain specific performance and/or injunctive relief, without bond, against Participant to prevent such continued or threatened breach. In the event of any breach of any obligation under this Plan, whether or not there is litigation relating thereto, the restrictions as to duration contained therein shall extend for a period equal to the cumulative duration of such breach or breaches.

(c) Sections 8.2, 8.3(a), 8.3(b), 8.3(c), 8.3(d), and 8.3(e) above each are and shall be construed as independent and separate covenants and Participant agrees that the existence of a claim or cause of action by Participant against the Company shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of the provisions of these covenants by the Company.

(d) The Participant affirms that the restrictions in Sections 8.3(b), 8.3(c), 8.3(d), and 8.3(e) contain no geographic scope and agree and acknowledge that such a scope is unnecessary given the limited functional scope of the restrictions.

(e) If the Participant violates any of these restrictions, the duration of the violated restriction(s) will be extended for an amount of time equal to the number of days the Participant violated the restriction(s).

8.9Enforceability. To the extent any provision of this Article 8 shall be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be considered deleted and the remainder of such provision shall be unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, should the duration or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by any provision of this Article 8 be in excess of that which is valid and enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, extent or activities which may validly and enforceably be covered. The Participant acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulates that this Article 8 shall be given the construction that renders the provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.

Article 9 - Administration of the Plan

9.1Administrator. The administration of the Plan shall be under the supervision of the Administrator. The Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to make eligibility determinations, all necessary factual determinations and to construe terms under this Plan. The Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to delegate its authority to any committee or individual and to hire such accountants, counsel, actuaries, consultants or other experts it determines necessary for the administration of this Plan.

9.2Reliance on Tables, Etc. In administering the Plan, the Administrator will be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to rely conclusively on all tables, valuations, certificates, opinions and reports which are furnished by, or in accordance with the instructions or recommendations of accountants, counsel, actuaries, consultants or other experts employed or engaged by the Administrator.

9.3Claims and Review Procedure.

(a) Claims Procedure. Any person who believes he or she is being denied any rights or benefits under the Plan may file a claim in writing with the Administrator. If any such claim is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will contain (i) specific reasons for the denial, (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for such person to perfect such claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) information as to the steps to be taken if the person wishes to submit a request for review. Such notification will be given within ninety (90) days after the claim is received by the Administrator (or within one hundred eighty (180) days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances are given to such person within the initial ninety (90) day period). If such notification is not given within such period, the claim will be considered denied as of the last day of such period, and such person may request a review of his or her claim.

(b) Review Procedure. Within sixty (60) days after the date on which a person receives a written notice of a denied claim (or, if applicable, within sixty (60) days after the date on which such denial is considered to have occurred) such person (or his or her duly authorized representative) may (i) file a written request with the Administrator for the review of the denied claim

11

and of pertinent documents and (ii) submit written issues and comments to the Administrator. The Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by such person and will contain specific reasons for the decision as well as specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions. The decision on review will be made within sixty (60) days after the request for review is received by the Administrator (or within one hundred twenty (120) days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the request, such as an election by the Administrator to hold a hearing, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances are given to such person within the initial sixty (60) day period). If the decision on review is not made within such period, the claim will be considered denied.

9.4Indemnification of Administrator. The Company agrees to indemnify and to defend to the fullest extent permitted by law any member of the Compensation Committee serving as the Administrator and any employee assisting the Administrator in connection with its duties (including any individual who formerly served as a member of the Compensation Committee or who assisted the Administrator), against all liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and amounts paid in settlement of any claims approved by the Compensation Committee) incurred by the Administrator or such employee in connection with the administration of this Plan, including but not limited to the application of the Claims and Reviews Procedures set forth herein.

9.5Named Fiduciary. For purposes of ERISA, the named fiduciary of the Plan shall be the Company.

Article 10 -Amendment and Termination; Term

10.1Amendment and Termination. The Compensation Committee in its sole discretion may amend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that the Plan may not be amended or terminated (a) after the Compensation Committee has knowledge of a possible transaction or event that, if consummated, would constitute a Change in Control, unless and until the Compensation Committee has determined that all transactions or events that, if consummated, would constitute a Change in Control have been abandoned and will not be consummated; or (b) during the Protected Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms in this Section 10.1 that otherwise restrict the amendment of the Plan will not apply to an amendment that (i) is required or advisable for the Company, the Plan, or any payments or benefits under the Plan to satisfy any applicable law or regulation, including, without limitation, any amendment pursuant to Section 12.6; or (ii) is not reasonably likely to significantly diminish the payments or benefits provided to any Participant under the Plan without the Participant’s written consent.

10.2 Term. The Plan will become effective on the Effective Date and will terminate on the last day of the Protected Period, unless terminated sooner under Section 10.1 above. The Company’s obligation to make all payments and provide benefits that have become payable under the Plan during the existence of the Plan will survive any termination of the Plan.

Article 11 - Successors; Binding Agreement

11.1Successors. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to unconditionally assume all of the obligations of the Company hereunder. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall constitute Good Reason hereunder and shall entitle the CIC Participants topayments and benefits in the same amount and on the same terms as such CIC Participants would be entitled hereunder if they had satisfied the requirements of Section 4.1, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination.

11.2Binding Agreement. The benefits provided under this Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Participant’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Participant shall die while any amounts would be payable to the Participant hereunder had the Participant continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Plan to such person or persons appointed in writing by the Participant to receive such amounts or, if no person is so appointed, to the Participant’s estate.

Article 12 - Miscellaneous

12.1Elections and Notices. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, all elections and notices of every kind under this Plan shall be made on forms prepared by the Company or shall be made in such other manner as permitted or required by the Company, including through electronic means, over the internet or otherwise. An election shall be deemed made when received by the Company (or its designated agent, but only in cases where the designated agent has been appointed for the purpose of receiving such election), which may waive any defects in form.

12

If not otherwise specified by this Plan or the Company, any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Company under the Plan shall be delivered to the principal office of the Company, directed to the attention of the SVP General Counsel and Secretary of the Company, or his successor. Such notice shall be deemed given on the date of delivery.

Notice to the Participant shall be deemed given when mailed (or sent by telecopy) to the Participant’s work or home address as shown on the records of the Company or, at the option of the Company, to the Participant’s email address as shown on the records of the Company. It is the Participant’s responsibility to ensure that the Participant’s addresses are kept up to date on the records of the Company. In the case of notices affecting multiple Participants, the notices may be given by general distribution at the Participants’ work locations.

12.2Governing Law; Validity. To the extent not preempted by federal law, the Plan, and all benefits and agreements hereunder, and any and all disputes in connection therewith, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict or choice of law principles which might otherwise refer the construction, interpretation or enforceability of this Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

12.3Employment Not Guaranteed. Nothing contained in the Plan nor any action taken thereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company.

12.4Funding. Benefits are paid from the Company’s general assets.

12.5Invalidity. In the event any provision of this Plan is held to be illegal or invalid, the remaining provisions of the Plan shall not be affected thereby.

12.6Code Section 409A.

(a) The Plan shall be interpreted, construed and operated to reflect the intent of the Company that all aspects of the Plan and the payments described in the Plan shall be interpreted either to be exempt from the provisions of Code Section 409A or, to the extent subject to Code Section 409A, comply with Code Section 409A and any regulations and other guidance thereunder, to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse tax consequences under Code Section 409A, and will be construed and administered in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, payments provided under the Plan may be made only upon an event and in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A or an applicable exemption.

(b) Any payments under this Plan that may be excluded from Code Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral will be excluded from Code Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. For purposes of Code Section 409A, each installment payment provided under this Plan will be treated as a separate payment.

(c) Whenever a payment under this Plan specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days or a specified time period, the actual payment date within the specified time period will be within the sole discretion of the Company.

(d) To the extent required by Code Section 409A, each reimbursement or in-kind payment benefit provided under this Plan will be provided in accordance with the following: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind payments or benefits provided, during each calendar year cannot affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind payments or benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; (ii) any reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be paid to the Participant on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred; and (iii) any right to reimbursements or in-kind payments or benefits under this Plan shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article 10, this Plan may be amended at any time, without the consent of any Participant, to avoid the application of Code Section 409A in a particular circumstance or to the extent determined necessary or desirable to satisfy any of the requirements under Code Section 409A, but the Company shall not be under any obligation to make any such amendment. Nothing in the Plan shall provide a basis for any person to take action against the Company based on matters covered by Code Section 409A, including the tax treatment of any award made under the Plan, and the Company shall not under any circumstances have any liability to any Participant or other person for any taxes, penalties or interest due on amounts paid or payable under the Plan, including taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Code Section 409A.

Background and Nature of Operations

BACKGROUND AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Description of Business

Continental Building Products, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation. Prior to the acquisition of the gypsum division of Lafarge North America Inc. ("Lafarge N.A.") described below, the Company had no operating activity. The Company manufactures gypsum wallboard related products for commercial and residential buildings and houses. The Company operates a network of three highly efficient wallboard facilities, all located in the eastern United States, and produces joint compound at one plant in the United States and at another plant in Canada.

The Acquisition

On June 24, 2013, Lone Star Fund VIII (U.S.), L.P., (along with its affiliates and associates, but excluding the companies that it owns as a result of its investment activity, “Lone Star”), entered into a definitive agreement with Lafarge N.A. to purchase the assets of its North American gypsum division for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $703 million (the "Acquisition") in cash. The closing of the Acquisition occurred on August 30, 2013.

Secondary Public Offerings

On March 18, 2016, following a series of secondary offerings, LSF8 Gypsum Holdings, L.P. ("LSF8") sold its remaining 5,106,803 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $16.10. Following the March 18, 2016 transaction and the concurrent repurchase by the Company of 900,000 shares of Company’s common stock from LSF8, to the best of the Company's knowledge, neither LSF8 nor any other affiliate of Lone Star held any shares of Company common stock. (See Note 11, Treasury Stock).

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

(b) Basis of Presentation for Interim Periods

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included for the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with

U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented. Management believes that the unaudited interim

financial statements include all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial

position of the Company and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year

ending December 31, 2017. Seasonal changes and other conditions can affect the sales volumes of the Company’s products.

Therefore, the financial results for any interim period do not necessarily indicate the expected results for the year.

The financial statements should be read in conjunction with Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes

thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year then

ended (the "2016 10-K"). The Company has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in those financial statements.

(d) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted During the Period

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-11, "Inventory:Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." This guidance applies to inventory valued at first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost and requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, rather than at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company values its inventory under the average cost method and thus will be required to adopt the standard. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which introduces targeted amendments intended to simplify the accounting for stock compensation. Specifically, the ASU requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. The tax effects of exercised or vested awards should be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. An entity also should recognize excess tax benefits, and assess the need for a valuation allowance, regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. That is, off-balance sheet accounting for net operating losses stemming from excess tax benefits would no longer be required and instead such net operating losses would be recognized when they arise. Existing net operating losses that are currently tracked off-balance sheet would be recognized, net of a valuation allowance if required, through an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. Entities will no longer need to maintain and track an "APIC pool." The ASU also requires excess tax benefits to be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. The amendments were effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of 2017, which resulted in a favorable adjustment to income tax provision of $0.2 million.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-9, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date," which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-9 for all entities by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The ASU requires retroactive application on either a full or modified basis. The Company will adopt the standard on January 1, 2018. The Company has identified a project implementation team and has identified its revenue streams. The Company is in the process of evaluating the various aspects of the standard and how the standard may impact how the Company recognizes revenue. The Company is also evaluating the potential impact that the new guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements. While the Company has not completed its analysis, the Company does not anticipate that the new guidance will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption, which is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." This ASU is intended to introduce a revised approach to the recognition and measurement of credit losses, emphasizing an updated model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The provisions of this standard are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This ASU intends to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows.  The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating when it will adopt the ASU and the expected impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory." The new standard requires companies to recognize the income tax effects of intercompany sales or transfers of assets, other than inventory, in the income statement as income tax expense (or benefit) in the period the sales or transfer occurs. The standard requires companies to apply a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating when it will adopt the ASU and the expected impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017- 04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other." This ASU simplifies the goodwill impairment calculation by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., Step 2 of today’s goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., Step 1 of today’s goodwill impairment test). The standard will be applied prospectively and is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating when it will adopt the ASU and the expected impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Investment in Seven Hills

INVESTMENT IN SEVEN HILLS

The Company is a party with an unaffiliated third party to a paperboard liner venture named Seven Hills Paperboard, LLC ("Seven Hills") that provides the Company with a continuous supply of high-quality recycled paperboard liner to meet its ongoing production requirements.

The Company has evaluated the characteristics of its investment and determined that Seven Hills would be deemed a variable interest entity, but that it does not have the power to direct the principal activities most impacting the economic performance of Seven Hills, and is thus not the primary beneficiary. As such, the Company accounts for this investment in Seven Hills under the equity method of accounting.

Paperboard liner purchased from Seven Hills was $14.8 million and $26.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $11.1 million and $22.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had certain purchase commitments for paper totaling $35.6 million through 2020.

(a) As of June 30, 2017, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, had a maturity date of August 18, 2023 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a 0.75% floor) plus 2.50%, compared to as of December 31, 2016, at which time the First Lien Credit Agreement had the same maturity date and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a 0.75% floor) plus 2.75%.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company purchased certain assets from Lafarge N.A. with cash. In order to finance a portion of the consideration payable to Lafarge N.A., the Company and its subsidiary Continental Building Products Operating Company, LLC ("OpCo") entered into a first lien credit agreement with Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and RBC Capital Markets, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and Royal Bank of Canada, as syndication agent (as amended on December 2, 2013, the "First Lien Credit Agreement") and a second lien credit agreement with Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and RBC Capital Markets, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and Royal Bank of Canada, as syndication agent for term loan borrowings of $320 million and $120 million, respectively, and drew $25 million under a $50 million revolving credit facility under the First Lien Credit Agreement. The available amount under the First Lien Credit Agreement term loan was subsequently increased to $415 million. In conjunction with the initial issuance of this debt, the Company incurred $15.3 million of debt issuance costs which were being amortized using the effective interest rate method or the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest rate method, over the estimated life of the related debt. Interest under the First Lien Credit Agreement was floating. The margin applicable to the borrowing was reduced in the third quarter 2014 to 3.00% after the Company achieved a B2 rating with a stable outlook by Moody’s.

On August 18, 2016, the Company, OpCo and Continental Building Products Canada Inc. and the lenders party thereto and Credit Suisse, as Administrative Agent, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amending and restating the First Lien Credit Agreement (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $275 million senior secured first lien term loan facility and a $75 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"), which mature on August 18, 2023 and August 18, 2021, respectively. Related to this debt refinancing, the Company incurred $4.7 million of discount and debt issuance costs, of which $2.5 million was recorded in Other expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and $2.2 million will be amortized over the term of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Upon completion of this debt refinancing, the Company recognized an additional expense of $3.3 million related to losses resulting from debt extinguishment which is also reported in Other expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The interest rate under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement remained floating but was reduced to a spread over LIBOR of 2.75% and floor of 0.75%.

On February 21, 2017, the Company repriced its term loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement lowering its interest rate by a further 25 basis points to LIBOR plus 2.50% thereby reducing its estimated interest expense by approximately $0.8 million per annum. All other terms and conditions under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement remained the same. In connection with the debt repricing, the Company incurred $0.7 million of debt issuance costs, which was recorded in Other expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The First Lien Credit Agreement was, and the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is, secured by the underlying property and equipment of the Company. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company made no voluntary prepayment of principal, compared to $25.0 million of voluntary prepayments in the same period of 2016. As of June 30, 2017, the annual effective interest rate on the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including original issue discount and amortization of debt issuance costs, was 4.1%.

There were no amounts outstanding under the Revolver as of June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 the Company did not have any draws under the Revolver, compared to $22.0 million which the Company borrowed and repaid in full during the six months ended June 30, 2016 under the applicable revolving credit facility. Interest under the Revolver is floating, based on LIBOR plus 225 basis points. In addition, the Company pays a facility fee of 50 basis points per annum on the total capacity under the Revolver. Availability under the Revolver as of June 30, 2017, based on draws and outstanding letters of credit and absence of violations of covenants, was $73.4 million.

Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain covenants, including among others, the limitation of indebtedness, limitation on liens, and limitations on certain cash distributions. One single financial covenant governs all of the Company’s debt and only applies if the outstanding borrowings of the Revolver plus outstanding letters of credit are greater than $22.5 million as of the end of the quarter. The financial covenant is a total leverage ratio calculation, in which total debt less outstanding cash is divided by adjusted earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization. As the sum of outstanding borrowings under the Revolver and outstanding letters of credit were less than $22.5 million at June 30, 2017, the total leverage ratio of no greater than 5.0 under the financial covenant was not applicable at June 30, 2017.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage selected commodity price and interest rate exposures. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes, and typically does not hedge beyond one year for commodity derivative instruments. Cash flows from derivative instruments are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Commodity Derivative Instruments

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had 2,420 thousand millions of British Thermal Units ("mmBTUs") in aggregate notional amount outstanding natural gas swap contracts to manage commodity price exposures. All of these contracts mature by July 31, 2018. The Company elected to designate these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815-20, Derivatives – Hedging. For derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income, and is reclassified to earnings when the underlying forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in cost of goods sold. The net unrealized loss that remained in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2017 was $0.1 million which is net of a tax amount of $0.1 million. The net unrealized gain that remained in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2016 was $0.2 million which is net of a tax amount of $0.1 million. No ineffectiveness was recorded on these contracts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The Company reassesses the probability of the underlying forecasted transactions occurring on a quarterly basis.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, approximately $0.3 million of loss, net of $0.1 million of tax and $0.3 million of loss, net of $0.2 million of tax, respectively, were recognized in other comprehensive income for the commodity contracts. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the amount of gain reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into income was $0.1 million. As of June 30, 2017, there was $0.1 million recorded in other current assets and $0.2 million was recorded in other current liabilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, approximately $0.3 million of gain, net of $0.2 million of tax expense, and $0.2 million of gain, net of $0.1 million of tax expense, respectively, were recognized in other comprehensive income for the commodity contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the amount of loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into income was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, $0.4 million was recorded in other current assets.

Interest Rate Derivative Instrument

In September 2016, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for a combined notional amount of $100.0 million with a term of four years, which hedged the floating LIBOR on a portion of the term loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to an average fixed rate of 1.323% and LIBOR floor of 0.75%. The Company elected to designate these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. The net unrealized gain that remained in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2017 was $1.0 million which is net of a tax amount of $0.5 million. The net unrealized gain that remained in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2016 was $1.2 million which is net of a tax amount of $0.6 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the amount of loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into income was $44,000 and $0.1 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, approximately $0.3 million of loss, net of tax expense of $0.2 million and $0.2 million of loss, net of tax expense of $0.1 million, respectively, were recognized in other comprehensive income for the interest rate swaps. As of June 30, 2017, there was $1.5 million recorded in other current assets. No ineffectiveness was recorded on these contracts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Counterparty Risk

The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the Company’s derivative instruments. As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s derivatives were in a $1.3 million net asset position. All of the Company’s counterparties have investment grade credit ratings; accordingly, the Company anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. The Company’s agreements outline the conditions upon which it or the counterparties are required to post collateral. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had no collateral posted with its counterparties related to the derivatives.

On August 3, 2016, the Company announced the Board of Directors had approved an expansion of its stock repurchase program by $50 million, increasing the aggregate authorization from up to $50 million to up to $100 million. The program was also extended from the end of 2016 to the end of 2017.

On February 21, 2017, the Board of Directors further expanded the Company's share repurchase program up to a total of $200 million of its common stock and extended the expiration date to December 31, 2018.

All repurchased shares are held in treasury, reducing the number of shares of common stock outstanding and used in the Company’s earnings per share calculation.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table shows the weighted average number of shares used in computing earnings per share and the effect on the weighted average number of shares of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive common stock has no effect on income available to common stockholders. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, approximately, 1,000 and 43,000 share-based compensation awards, respectively, were excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding because their impact would be anti-dilutive in the computation of dilutive earnings per share. Awards excluded for the same periods in 2016 were 165 and 77,000, respectively.

Commitments

The Company leases certain buildings and equipment. The Company’s facility and equipment leases may provide for escalations of rent or rent abatements and payment of pro rata portions of building operating expenses. Minimum lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. The total expenses under operating leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $0.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, compared to $1.1 million and $2.1 million for the same periods in 2016, respectively. The Company also has non-capital purchase commitments that primarily relate to gas, gypsum, paper and other raw materials.

Legal Matters

In the ordinary course of business, the Company executes contracts involving indemnifications standard in the industry. These indemnifications might include claims relating to any of the following: environmental and tax matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. While the maximum amount to which the Company may be exposed under such agreements cannot be estimated, it is the opinion of management that these guarantees and indemnifications are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in certain legal actions and claims, including proceedings under laws and regulations relating to environmental and other matters. Because such matters are subject to many uncertainties and the outcomes are not predictable with assurance, the total liability for these legal actions and claims cannot be determined with certainty. When the Company determines that it is probable that a liability for environmental matters, legal actions or other contingencies has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable, an estimate of the costs to be incurred is recorded as a liability in the financial statements. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, such liabilities were not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. While management believes its accruals for such liabilities are adequate, the Company may incur costs in excess of the amounts provided. Although the ultimate amount of liability that may result from these matters or actions is not ascertainable, any amounts exceeding the recorded accruals are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Fair Value Disclosures

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

U.S. GAAP provides a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used to measure the fair value and requires certain disclosures relating to fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in a market with sufficient activity.

The three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, is as follows:

• Level 1—Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a Company has the ability to access;

• Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted market prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability which is typically based on an entity’s own assumptions when there is little, if any, related market data available.

The Company evaluates assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring and non-recurring basis to determine the appropriate level to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made by the Company. The fair values of receivables, accounts payable, accrued costs and other current liabilities approximate the carrying values as a result of the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company estimates the fair value of its debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using estimated market rates of debt instruments with similar maturities and credit profiles. These inputs are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying value reported in the consolidated balance sheet for the Company’s notes payable approximated its fair value.

The only assets or liabilities the Company had at June 30, 2017 that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are the natural gas hedges and interest rate swaps. The natural gas hedges had a negative fair value of $0.1 million as of June 30, 2017, net of tax amount of $0.1 million, compared to a positive fair value of 0.2 million, net of tax amount of $0.1 million as of December 31, 2016. Interest rate swaps had a positive fair value of $1.0 million as of June 30, 2017, net of tax amount of $0.5 million, compared to a positive fair value of $1.2 million as of December 31, 2016, net of tax amount of $0.6 million. Both the natural gas hedges and interest rate swaps are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using third party pricing models which contain inputs that are derived from observable market data. Generally, the Company obtains its Level 2 pricing inputs from its counterparties. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include intangible assets and goodwill. These items are recognized at fair value when they are considered to be impaired.

There were no fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis. The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted During the Period

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-11, "Inventory:Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." This guidance applies to inventory valued at first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost and requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, rather than at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company values its inventory under the average cost method and thus will be required to adopt the standard. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which introduces targeted amendments intended to simplify the accounting for stock compensation. Specifically, the ASU requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. The tax effects of exercised or vested awards should be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. An entity also should recognize excess tax benefits, and assess the need for a valuation allowance, regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. That is, off-balance sheet accounting for net operating losses stemming from excess tax benefits would no longer be required and instead such net operating losses would be recognized when they arise. Existing net operating losses that are currently tracked off-balance sheet would be recognized, net of a valuation allowance if required, through an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. Entities will no longer need to maintain and track an "APIC pool." The ASU also requires excess tax benefits to be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. The amendments were effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of 2017, which resulted in a favorable adjustment to income tax provision of $0.2 million.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-9, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date," which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-9 for all entities by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The ASU requires retroactive application on either a full or modified basis. The Company will adopt the standard on January 1, 2018. The Company has identified a project implementation team and has identified its revenue streams. The Company is in the process of evaluating the various aspects of the standard and how the standard may impact how the Company recognizes revenue. The Company is also evaluating the potential impact that the new guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements. While the Company has not completed its analysis, the Company does not anticipate that the new guidance will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption, which is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." This ASU is intended to introduce a revised approach to the recognition and measurement of credit losses, emphasizing an updated model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The provisions of this standard are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This ASU intends to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows.  The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating when it will adopt the ASU and the expected impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory." The new standard requires companies to recognize the income tax effects of intercompany sales or transfers of assets, other than inventory, in the income statement as income tax expense (or benefit) in the period the sales or transfer occurs. The standard requires companies to apply a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating when it will adopt the ASU and the expected impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017- 04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other." This ASU simplifies the goodwill impairment calculation by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., Step 2 of today’s goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., Step 1 of today’s goodwill impairment test). The standard will be applied prospectively and is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating when it will adopt the ASU and the expected impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Basic and Dilutive Earnings Per Share

The following table shows the weighted average number of shares used in computing earnings per share and the effect on the weighted average number of shares of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive common stock has no effect on income available to common stockholders. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, approximately, 1,000 and 43,000 share-based compensation awards, respectively, were excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding because their impact would be anti-dilutive in the computation of dilutive earnings per share. Awards excluded for the same periods in 2016 were 165 and 77,000, respectively.
