Stock Price Hurdles: Stock Price Hurdle is defined as the average of the closing sale stock prices of one share of Company Stock over the 20 trading days following the date of the 2024 release of the fourth quarter and full year 2023 earnings results (such date is currently expected to occur in the first quarter of 2024), as determined by the Committee. The twentieth trading day following the 2024 release of the fourth quarter and full year 2023 earnings results is referred to as the

“Measurement Date.”

Threshold level performance must be achieved in order to earn the Performance Cash Award for the Performance Goal. If actual performance is between performance levels and at least $X.XX, the amount of the Performance Cash Award earned with respect to the Performance Goal will be interpolated on a straight line basis for pro-rata achievement for performance at or between performance levels.

If a Change in Control occurs after the Date of Grant and prior to the end of the Performance Period, the amount of the Performance Cash Award earned with respect to the Stock Price Hurdles Performance Goal will be the Target Award.

The Committee reserves discretion to provide for accelerated vesting of the earned Performance Cash Award at a higher performance level.

1.Grant.

(a)Subject to the terms set forth below, Armstrong Flooring, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted to the designated employee (the “Grantee”) a performance-based cash award (the “Performance Cash Award”), as specified in the 2020 Long-Term Performance-Based Cash Award Grant Letter (including Exhibit A attached thereto) to which these Grant Conditions (as defined below) relate (the “Grant Letter”). The Grant Letter specifies a Target Award and a Maximum Award granted as of the Date of Grant, subject to restrictions as set forth herein. The “Date of Grant” is April 1, 2021.

(b)The Performance Cash Award shall be earned, vested and payable if and to the extent that the Stock Price Hurdles performance goal set forth in the Grant Letter (the “Performance Goal”), employment conditions and other terms of these Grant Conditions are met. The “Performance Period” for which the attainment of the Performance Goal will be measured is the period beginning January 1, 2021 and ending on the Measurement Date.

(c)These Terms and Conditions (the “Grant Conditions”) are part of the Grant Letter. Any terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Grant Letter.

2.Performance Goal; Vesting.

(a)The Grantee shall earn and vest in an amount of the Performance Cash Award based on the attainment of the Performance Goal for the Performance Period, provided that the Grantee continues to be employed by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively the “Employer”) through the Measurement Date. The Performance Cash Award shall be earned based on attainment of the Performance Goal and shall vest based on the Grantee’s continued employment through the Measurement Date, or as otherwise provided below.

(b)After the end of the Performance Period, the Management Development and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) will determine whether and to what extent the Performance Goal has been met and the amount, if any, earned with respect to the Performance Cash Award. The Grantee can earn up to the Maximum Award based on attainment of the Performance Goal, as set forth in the Grant Letter. The earned and vested portion of the Performance Cash Award shall be payable as described in Section 6.

(c)If a Change in Control (as defined below) occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the amount earned with respect to the Performance Cash Award shall be determined as of the date of the Change in Control as described in the Grant Letter. The earned Performance Cash Award shall continue to vest based on the Grantee’s continued employment through April 30, 2024, except as otherwise provided herein. The earned and vested portion of the Performance Cash Award shall be payable as described in Section 6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Performance Cash Award does not remain outstanding following the Change in Control, the earned Performance Cash Award shall vest as of the date of the Change in Control, and such earned and vested portion of the Performance Cash Award shall be paid upon or within 10 days after the date of the Change in Control, subject to compliance with section 409A of the Code, if applicable, and as described in Section 15 below.

(d)Except as described below, no portion of the Performance Cash Award shall be earned prior to the Committee’s determination of achievement of the Performance Goal, and to the extent that the Performance Goal is not attained, the Performance Cash Award shall be immediately forfeited and shall cease to be outstanding as of the date of the Committee’s determination.

3.Termination of Employment.

(a)General Rule. Except as described below, if the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Employer for any reason prior to the Measurement Date, the Performance Cash Award shall be forfeited as of the termination date and shall cease to be outstanding.

(b)Involuntary Termination before a Change in Control. If, before a Change in Control and after ten months following the Date of Grant but prior to the Measurement Date, the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Employer on account of Involuntary Termination (as defined below), the Grantee shall earn and vest in a pro-rated portion of the Performance Cash Award based on the extent to which the Performance Goal is achieved for the Performance Period, provided such vesting does not result in a violation of any age discrimination or other applicable law. In the event of a subsequent Change in Control prior to the end of the Performance Period, the amount achieved for the Performance Period shall be determined as of the Change in Control date as described in the Grant Letter. The pro-rated portion shall be determined by multiplying the amount of the Performance Cash Award earned based on attainment of the Performance Goal by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months that elapsed during the period beginning on January 1, 2021 through the Grantee’s termination date, and the denominator of which is the number of months in the Performance Period and any partial month shall count as a full month for purposes of this calculation. In the event of a subsequent Change in Control prior to the end of the Performance Period, the denominator will be 40. The month in which the Grantee’s termination date occurs shall count as a full month for purposes of this calculation. The pro-rated earned Performance Cash Award shall be paid as described in Section 6.

(c)Death or Long-Term Disability before a Change in Control. If, before a Change in Control, the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Employer prior to the Measurement Date on account of death or Long-Term Disability (as defined below), the Grantee shall earn and vest

in a pro-rated portion of the Performance Cash Award based on the extent to which the Performance Goal is achieved for the Performance Period. In the event of a subsequent Change in Control prior to the end of the Performance Period, the amount achieved for the Performance Period shall be determined as of the Change in Control date as described in the Grant Letter. The pro-rated portion shall be determined by multiplying the amount of the Performance Cash Award earned based on attainment of the Performance Goal by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months that elapsed during the period beginning on January 1, 2021 through the Grantee’s termination date and the denominator of which is the number of months in the Performance Period and any partial month shall count as a full month for purposes of this calculation. In the event of a subsequent Change in Control prior to the end of the Performance Period, the denominator will be 40. The month in which the Grantee’s termination date occurs shall count as a full month for purposes of this calculation. The pro-rated earned Performance Cash Award shall be paid as described in Section 6.

(d)Involuntary Termination, Death and Long-Term Disability on or after a Change in Control. If the Grantee’s employment terminates on account of Involuntary Termination, death or Long-Term Disability on or after a Change in Control and prior to April 30, 2024, the Grantee shall vest in the portion of the Performance Cash Award earned as of the Change in Control date as described in the Grant Letter.

8.Adjustments. The Committee may make such adjustments to the Performance Goal as the Committee deems appropriate in its sole discretion in the event of a change in corporate capitalization, a corporate transaction or as the Committee otherwise deems appropriate to preclude any substantial reduction or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, the Grantee, or to warrant the intended operation of the Performance Cash Award, the Grant Letter and these Grant Conditions.

11.Withholding Taxes.

(a)The Employer shall have the right, and the Grantee hereby authorizes the Employer, to deduct from all payments made hereunder and from other compensation an amount equal to the federal (including FICA), state, local and foreign taxes, social insurance, payroll tax, contributions, payment on account obligations or other amounts required by law to be collected, withheld or accounted for with respect to the Performance Cash Award (the “Taxes”).

(b)Regardless of any action the Employer takes with respect to any such Taxes, the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all such Taxes legally due by the Grantee is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Employer. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Employer (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Taxes in connection with any aspect of the Performance Cash Award, including the grant, vesting or payment of the Performance Cash Award; and (ii) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Performance Cash Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Taxes. Further, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Employer (or the Grantee’s former employer, as applicable) may be required to collect, withhold or account for Taxes in more than one jurisdiction.

15.Section 409A. The Grant Letter and these Grant Conditions shall be construed and administered such that the Performance Cash Award either (i) qualifies for an exemption from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or (ii) satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

Payment of the earned and vested portion of the Performance Cash Award shall be made as set forth in Section 2(c) or Section 6(b), as applicable, if the Change in Control is a 409A CIC (as defined above) to the extent required under section 409A of the Code and if permitted by the plan termination provisions of the regulations under section 409A of the Code. If payment in connection with a Change in Control is not permitted under section 409A of the Code, the earned and vested portion of the Performance Cash Award shall be payable as described in Section 6(a).

If the Grantee dies during such six-month period, any postponed amounts shall be paid within 90 days of the Grantee’s death. The determination of key employees, including the number and identity of persons considered key employees and the identification date, shall be made by the Committee or its delegate each year in accordance with Section 416(i) of the Code and the “specified employee” requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

The provisions of the Grant Letter and these Grant Conditions shall extend to any business that becomes a successor to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates on account of a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, spinoff or similar transaction with respect to any business of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates with which the Grantee is employed, and if this grant continues in effect after such corporate event, references to the “Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates” or the “Employer” in the Grant Letter and these Grant Conditions shall include the successor business and its affiliates, as appropriate. In that event, the Company may

make such modifications to the Grant Letter and these Grant Conditions as it deems appropriate to reflect the corporate event.

(a)the Grant Letter and these Grant Conditions are established voluntarily by the Company and the grant of the Performance Cash Award is made at the discretion of the Committee;

(f)the Performance Cash Award and any payments thereunder are not to be considered part of the Grantee’s normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, payment in lieu of notice, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

(g)the Performance Cash Award and any payments thereunder are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(h)the grant of the Performance Cash Award and the Grantee’s acceptance of the Cash Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Employer; and

result of such cessation, and the Grantee irrevocably releases the Employer from any such rights, entitlement or claim that may arise. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such right or claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then the Grantee shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived the Grantee’s entitlement to pursue such rights or claim.
