NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth below, the Parties agree as follows:

1.    Executive and the Company have mutually agreed that Executive shall separate from her position as Senior Vice President of Law, Government Affairs and Global Compliance and General Counsel as well as any and all other officer and director positions with the Company and its subsidiaries effective as of October 22, 2013, and thereafter shall transition into, and continue employment with the Company, in a non-executive position until November 25, 2013 (the “Separation Date”), at which time her employment with the Company and its subsidiaries shall terminate. The Company shall continue to employ Executive until the Separation Date; and her salary and all benefits will remain unchanged until such date, except as set forth in Paragraph 2(c) below. Executive will not be required to be present in the company offices but agrees that her services shall be available to the Company as needed through the Separation Date and will be subject to the same standards of conduct and performance applicable to all officers and managers of the Company. Other than as provided in this Agreement, Executive waives and agrees that she shall not receive any other compensation or benefits from the Company.

2.    In consideration for (i) Executive’s release and waiver of claims and agreement to comply with the non-competition obligations referenced herein, (ii) Executive’s execution of this Agreement, (iii) an affirmation and release of claims (in the form of Attachment A) (the “Affirmation”) to be executed on or within 21 days after (but not before) the Separation Date, (iv) expiration of applicable revocation periods, and (vi) payroll tax withholding required by federal, state or local law, the Company shall pay Executive:

(a)     a payment in the gross amount of $830,000.00, which is equivalent to two years annual base salary, to be paid in a lump sum (and subject to payroll tax withholding required by applicable law), subject to Executive’s execution and non-revocation of this Agreement and the Affirmation, on the first regularly scheduled Company payroll date following the 40^th day after the Separation Date (without any revocation of this Agreement or the Affirmation by Executive).

(b)     a payment in the gross amount of $111,000, which is equivalent to Executive’s annual performance bonus and based on the FY2013 Annual Performance Bonus Program as approved and amended by the Company’s Compensation Committee and paid on November 8, 2013, and subject to: (i) the Executive’s execution of this Agreement, (ii) appropriate revocation periods, and (iii) any and all applicable tax withholding.

(c)     health benefits and other perquisites the same as Executive presently receives through the Separation Date pursuant to the terms of the applicable plan documents as may be amended (except that Executive’s benefits with respect to the AAirpass program shall cease effective as of October 22, 2013), plus Company fully-subsidized COBRA coverage continuing for eighteen (18) months following the Separation Date.

(d)    To the extent permitted by the terms and conditions of the Commercial Metals Company’s Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan, the Commercial Metals Companies 2005 Benefits Restoration Plan and the Commercial Metals Companies Benefit Restoration Plan established September 1, 1995, the Company shall credit Executive’s accounts in such plans for any employer contributions attributable to the plan year during which the Separation Date occurs that would have otherwise been made had she remained employed by the Company. In addition, any previously unvested employer contributions to her account in such plans shall be vested in full on the Separation Date.

(e)     As approved by the Compensation Committee, the equity awards held by the Executive shall become vested and payable as shown below:

Executive’s pro rata portion would yield a cash payment with respect to 13,993 shares, and Executive’s rights with respect to the remaining shares would be forfeited.

(f)    On or before the first regular payday following the Separation Date, the Company will pay Executive for twenty (20) days of accrued, unused vacation pay.

(g)    The Company and Executive agree that the EECA shall terminate and be of no further force or effect from and after the Separation Date. Executive shall forfeit all entitlements she may have under the EECA as of the Separation Date. Unless otherwise as stated below, the Employment Agreement shall terminate as of the Separation Date; provided however, that Paragraphs 9 through 17 of the Employment Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect.

3.    To the extent any benefits provided by the Company under Paragraph 2(c) are taxable to the Executive, such benefits, for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), shall be provided as separate monthly in-kind payments of those benefits. To the extent any such benefits are subject to and not otherwise exempt from Section 409A, the provision of such in-kind benefits during one calendar year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided in another calendar year, and the rights to such in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. With respect to reimbursement of expenses, the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year. The Company shall make all reimbursements and payments no later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses were incurred.

4.    Executive agrees that the terms of her various restrictive covenants, as set forth in Paragraphs 9 through 15, are valid and enforceable. The Company shall have the right to discontinue all amounts payable under this Agreement, to recover all payments made under this Agreement from the date of any breach by Executive, and to obtain injunctive relief should Executive breach any of the covenants referenced herein.
