<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Board of Directors of Encore Wire Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) has previously adopted an
amended and restated version of the Encore Wire Corporation 1999 Stock Option Plan (the &#147;Amended
Plan&#148;). At the Company&#146;s annual stockholders meeting held on May&nbsp;2, 2006, the Company&#146;s
stockholders approved the Amended Plan. The Amended Plan reflects amendments to the plan to
increase the number of shares of the Company&#146;s common stock (&#147;Common Stock&#148;) available for issuance
under the Amended Plan from 900,000 to 1,200,000. The Amended Plan is effective as of February&nbsp;20,
2006, the date of adoption of the Amended Plan by the Board of Directors of the Company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following summary of the Amended Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
text of the Amended Plan, which was previously filed as <U>Annex A</U> to the Company&#146;s proxy
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March&nbsp;14, 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Amended Plan is to be administered by the Compensation Committee (the &#147;Committee&#148;) of the
Board. Notwithstanding the authority delegated to the Committee to grant options to employees under
the Amended Plan, the Board of the Company also has full authority, subject to the express
provisions of the Amended Plan, to grant options to employees, to interpret the Amended Plan, to
provide, modify and rescind rules and regulations relating to it, to determine the terms and
provisions of options granted to employees under the Amended Plan and to take certain other actions
under the Amended Plan.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All regular salaried employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including employees who
are also directors of the Company, are eligible to be selected to participate in the Amended Plan.
The selection of employees is within the discretion of the Committee.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Committee or the Board may, in its discretion, designate any option granted as an
incentive stock option intended to qualify under Section&nbsp;422 of the Code. All options shall be
subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations of the Amended Plan, except that the
Committee or the Board may, in its sole judgment, subject any option to such other terms,
conditions, restrictions and limitations as it deems appropriate, provided they are not
inconsistent with the terms of the Amended Plan.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board will, with regard to each stock option, determine the number of shares subject to
the option, the manner and time of the option&#146;s exercise and the exercise price per share of Common
Stock subject to the option. In no event, however, may the exercise price of a stock option be
less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the option&#146;s grant. The
term of each option shall be as specified by the Committee or the Board, provided that, unless a
shorter term is otherwise designated by the Committee or the Board, no option shall be exercisable
later than ten years from the date of the option&#146;s grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
exercise price per share of Common Stock and the exercise period under any incentive stock option
granted to an optionee who, at the time such incentive stock option is granted, owns stock
possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company
or any affiliate shall be at least 110% of

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that shall be available for grant of options
under the Amended Plan shall not exceed 1,200,000, subject to adjustment in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board may alter or amend the Amended Plan but may not, without the approval of the
stockholders of the Company, make any alteration or amendment thereof which operates to (i)&nbsp;abolish
the Committee, change the qualifications of its members or withdraw the administration of the
Amended Plan from its supervision, (ii)&nbsp;increase the total number of shares of Common Stock for
which options may be granted under the Amended Plan, (iii)&nbsp;increase the total number of shares of
Common Stock for which options may be granted under the Amended Plan to any one employee during a
calendar year, (iv)&nbsp;extend the term of the Amended Plan or the maximum exercise period, (v)
decrease the minimum purchase price, or (vi)&nbsp;materially modify the requirements as to eligibility
for participation in the Amended Plan.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The original Plan became effective as of June&nbsp;28, 1999, and the first amendment to the Plan
was effective as of October&nbsp;24, 2001. The most recent amendment to the Plan will become effective
as of February&nbsp;20, 2006. Subject to the right of the Board to terminate the Amended Plan prior
thereto, the Amended Plan shall terminate at the expiration of ten years from June&nbsp;28, 1999, except
with respect to outstanding options.
