TREX COMPANY, INC.

2005 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

 

Vesting  

The SARs are only exercisable before the Last Date to Exercise (noted on the cover sheet). Subject to the preceding sentence, you may exercise the SARs, in whole or in part, by following the procedures set forth in the Plan and below in this Agreement.

 

Your right to exercise the SARs vests as to fifty percent (50%) of the total number of shares of Stock subject to the SARs, as shown on the cover sheet, on each of February 8, 2008 and February 8, 2009. The resulting aggregate number of vested shares of Stock will be rounded to the nearest whole number, and you may not vest in more than the number of shares of Stock shown on the cover sheet.

 

In the event of your death, any SARs that have not vested hereunder shall immediately become fully vested.

Notice of Exercise  

When you wish to exercise this award of SARs, you must notify the Company by filing the proper “Notice of Exercise” form at the address given on the form. All exercises must take place before, and your SARs will expire on, the Last Date to Exercise (shown on the cover sheet). Your notice must specify how many SARs you wish to exercise. Your notice must also specify how the shares of Stock received on the exercise of your SARs should be registered (in your name only or in your and your spouse’s names as joint tenants with right of survivorship). The notice will be effective when it is received by the Company.

 

If someone else wants to exercise the SARs after your death, that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so.

Payment for SARs   Upon your exercise of the SARs, the Company will pay you in shares of Stock an amount equal to the positive difference (if any) between the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the exercise date and the SAR Grant Price, multiplied by the number of SARs being exercised. Any fractional shares of Stock will be paid to you in cash.
Withholding Taxes   You will not be allowed to exercise the SARs unless you make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the exercise of the SARs. In the event that the Company determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the exercise or sale of shares arising from this grant, the Company shall have the right to require such payments from you, withhold such amount from the proceeds of the exercise of your SARs, or withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate.

Transfer of SARs  

Other than as provided in Section 10.2 of the Plan, during your lifetime, only you (or, in the event of your legal incapacity or incompetency, your guardian or legal representative) may exercise the SARs, and you cannot transfer or assign the SARs. For instance, you may not sell the SARs or use them as security for a loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, the SARs will immediately become invalid. You may, however, dispose of the SARS in your will or the SARs may be transferred upon your death by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor a notice of exercise from your spouse, nor is the Company obligated to recognize your spouse’s interest in your SARs in any other way.

Shareholder Rights   You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a shareholder of the Company until a certificate for shares of Stock received pursuant to the exercise of your SARs has been issued (or an appropriate book entry has been made). No adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your stock certificate is issued (or an appropriate book entry has been made), except as described in the Plan.
Adjustments   In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Stock, the number of shares covered by the SARs and the SAR Grant Price per share shall be adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) if required pursuant to the Plan. Your SARs shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity.
Applicable Law   This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
The Plan  

The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Plan, and have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

 

This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding the SARs. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the SARs are superseded.
