For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall have “Cause” to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder if the Compensation Committee determines (and provides the Executive a written statement of its determination) that the Executive has engaged in egregious acts or omissions which have resulted in material injury to the Company and its business; provided that, the Executive shall not, under any circumstances, be deemed to have engaged in egregious acts or omissions if: (a) the acts or omissions have been committed or omitted by the Executive in connection with the implementation of policies or procedures or strategic initiatives which have been disclosed to the Board of Directors of the Company; and (b) the Board of Directors of the Company has not directed the Executive not to implement any such policies, procedures or strategic initiatives.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to permit the Executive and his spouse to participate in such group medical insurance plans unless the Executive pays to the Company, on a monthly basis, the employee portion of any costs associated with the maintenance and provision of such benefits by the Company to exempt salaried employees of the Company’s Buffalo, New York corporate offices (or such greater or lesser amount as may, from time to time, be required to be contributed by exempt salaried employees of the Company’s Buffalo, New York corporate offices toward the cost of maintaining and providing such benefits to such employees).

6.07 Obligations Which Survive Termination.

(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit the Executive’s rights to receive or the obligation of the Company to pay or provide for the Executive and his beneficiaries any retirement or other benefits accrued by the Executive at any time under the terms of any retirement plans maintained by the Company which are subject to the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or otherwise intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated, for any reason whatsoever, the Company shall continue to be obligated to pay the Executive the full amount accrued for his benefit under the terms of the Gibraltar 401(k) Restoration Plan.

6.08 Amendment of Outstanding Equity Awards.

(a) On April 1, 2005, the Company granted the Executive 150,000 restricted stock units under the terms of the Omnibus Plan as a supplement to the retirement benefits which are available to the Executive under the retirement plans and programs which the Executive is entitled to participate in (such award being hereinafter referred to as the “Retirement RSU Award”). The Company has also granted the Executive an award of restricted stock units in 2011 under the terms of the Omnibus Plan to carry into effect a long term incentive compensation award under the LTIP (such award being hereinafter referred to as the “LTIP Award”). The Company and the Executive intend that the terms of the Retirement RSU Award and the LTIP Award will be amended by this Section 6.08 to provide for issuance to the Executive of shares of common stock of the Company which would not otherwise be issuable to the Executive upon certain terminations of the Executive’s employment. Accordingly, notwithstanding the termination of the Executive’s employment, the Company shall continue to be obligated to issue shares of common stock of the Company to the Executive (or, in the case of the Executive’s death, to the Executive’s beneficiary) under the terms of the Retirement RSU and the Award LTIP Award, in each case, as such awards are amended by the provisions of this Section 6.08.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Omnibus Plan or the Retirement RSU Award, the Company and the Executive hereby agree that the Retirement RSU Award shall, by this Section 6.08(b), be deemed and construed to be amended to the full extent necessary to provide that: (i) if the Executive remains in the employ of the Company until he attains age sixty (60), the Restricted Units (as defined in the Retirement RSU Award) awarded to the Executive under the terms of the Retirement RSU Award shall not be forfeited by the Executive for any reason whatsoever (it being the intent of the Company and the Executive to treat such Restricted Units as fully vested and nonforfeitable on and as of the date the Executive attains age sixty (60)); (ii) the Restrictions (as defined in the Retirement RSU Award) on the Restricted Units awarded to the Executive under the Retirement RSU Award shall lapse on the earlier of: (A) the date of the Executive’s death; (B) the end of the six (6) month period which begins on the first day following the date the Executive terminates his employment under this Agreement under circumstances such that the termination by the Executive constitutes a “Good Reason Termination” within the meaning of Section 3.04(b) hereof; and (C) provided that the Executive has attained at least age sixty (60), the end of the six (6) month period which begins on the first day following the date the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated, by the Company or by the Executive, for any reason whatsoever, including, but not limited to, a termination by the Company “for cause” (as defined in the Retirement RSU Award) and any termination initiated by the Executive; and (iii) the Executive’s employment with the Company shall only be deemed and construed to have been terminated by the Company “for cause” if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for “Cause” as defined above in Section 3.02 hereof (it being the intent that the “for cause” standard contained in the Retirement RSU Award shall be the same as the “Cause” standard contained in this Agreement). Except as provided by the preceding provisions of this Section 6.08(b), the terms of the Retirement RSU Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Omnibus Plan or in the LTIP Award, the Company and the Executive hereby agree that the LTIP Award shall, by this Section 6.08(c), be deemed and construed to be amended to the full extent necessary to provide that: (i) if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Executive under circumstances which constitute a Good Reason Termination within the meaning of Section 3.04(b) hereof, the Restrictions (as defined in the LTIP Award) on the Restricted Units (as defined in the LTIP Award) which have not lapsed as of the date the Executive’s employment is terminated, shall lapse on the earlier of: (A) the date of the Executive’s death; and (ii) the end of the six (6) month period which begins on the first day following the date the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive under circumstances which cause such termination to be a Good Reason Termination within the meaning of Section 3.04(b) hereof; and (ii) the Executive’s employment with the Company shall only be deemed and construed to have been terminated by the Company “for cause” if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for “Cause” as defined above in Section 3.02 hereof (it being the intent that the “for cause” standard contained in each of the LTIP Award shall be the same as the “Cause” standard contained in this Agreement). Except as provided by the preceding provisions of this Section 6.08(c), the terms of the LTIP Award shall remain in full force and effect.
