and other cash or equity-based compensation approved by Apogee&#146;s Compensation Committee (each an &#147;Employee Deferral&#148;). The amount of compensation to be deferred by each participant will be based on elections by each participant under
the terms of the Plan. Participants&#146; accounts may also be credited with discretionary employer contributions as specified in the Plan. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The deferred amounts described above (including the Employee Deferrals and discretionary employer contributions) will be credited with
earnings and investment gains and losses by assuming that the deferred amounts were invested in one or more hypothetical investment options selected by the participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The deemed investment alternatives
include various investment funds with different degrees of risk. An Apogee common stock fund is not one of the investment funds available under the Plan. Participants may reallocate amounts among the various investment alternatives on a daily basis.
The deferrals will not actually be invested in the investment alternatives available under the Plan. These deemed investment alternatives are merely measuring tools to determine the value of the participant&#146;s account under the Plan. Although a
&#147;rabbi trust&#148; has been established which will hold assets to be used solely to pay benefits to Plan participants, there is no requirement to actually purchase these investments with trust assets. Participants do not have any preferential
right to any assets in the trust. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The obligations to make payments under the Plan are unsecured obligations and are subject
to the claims of general creditors. These obligations will rank equally with other unsecured indebtedness from time to time outstanding. All amounts payable to participants under the Plan are denominated in U.S. dollars and will be payable on the
date or dates selected by each participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan or on such other date or dates as specified in the Plan. Rights to payment under the Plan are not convertible into another security. </FONT></P>

investment alternatives. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>
