Appendix A
Monaco Coach Corporation
Performance Share Award Program
Introductory Note
The following Performance Share Award Program (the PSA Program) was approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) of Monaco Coach Corporation (the Company) on March 20, 2006. Awards under the PSA Program will be granted under the Companys 1993 Stock Plan (the Plan). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings given to them under the Plan.
The description provided herein sets forth the specific terms and conditions of the PSA Program covering eligibility, performance measures, Performance Period and other key factors not described in the Plan. Each year when a new three-year Performance Period commences, the exhibits detailing the specific performance goals for a Performance Period under the PSA Program will be updated. Each participant in the PSA Program will receive an agreement that defines the individual terms for participation in a Performance Period.
Purpose
The purpose of the PSA Program is to provide a means for rewarding executives for their success in driving long-term performance results, which increase shareholder value.
Eligibility
All Company executives are eligible to participate in the PSA Program, unless otherwise specifically excluded by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the Committee). Each executive participating in the PSA Program is referred to as a Participant. To be eligible to receive an Award, an executive must be actively employed by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company on the date a Performance Period commences. Participation for less than the full Performance Period under certain circumstances set forth herein or the occurrence of a Change in Control will allow a Participant to receive all or portion of his or her Award for a particular Performance Period. An employee who becomes an executive after the commencement of a Performance Period and within the first ninety (90) days of such Performance Period may receive a pro-rated Award for such Performance Period, as determined by the Committee (which employees target Award opportunity must be established no later than the latest possible date that will not jeopardize such employees Award qualification as performance based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended).
Termination of Employment and Change in Control
In the event the Company (or the Subsidiary employing a Participant) terminates a Participant as an Employee without Cause or Participant ceases to be an Employee as the result of Participants death or Disability, Participant will be entitled to receive a pro-
rated amount of the Award that would have actually been earned during the Performance Period had Participant remained an Employee through the end of the Performance Period based on the amount of time Participant was an Employee during the Performance Period, which will be settled at the time it would have otherwise been paid had Participant remained employed through the end of the Performance Period. In addition, in the event a Participant ceases to be an Employee as the result of his or her Retirement, Participant will be entitled to receive 100% of the Award that would have otherwise been earned had Participant remained employed through the end of the Performance Period, which will be settled at the time it would have otherwise been paid had Participant remained employed through the end of the Performance Period. In addition, in the event of a Change in Control that occurs during the Performance Period while a Participant is an Employee, an Award will be deemed earned and paid out as if all performance objectives under the Performance Share Award Program had been earned at target, which will be settled upon consummation of the Change in Control. Subject to the foregoing acceleration provisions and any such provisions set forth in the Plan, in the event Participant ceases to be an Employee for any or no reason before Participant earns any portion of an Award, the Award and Participants right to acquire any Shares thereunder will immediately terminate.
Notwithstanding anything in this PSA Program or the Plan to the contrary, if the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of an Award is accelerated in connection with Participants termination as an Employee (provided that such termination is a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Company), other than due to death, and if (i) Participant is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination as an Employee, and (ii) the payment of such accelerated Award will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to Participant on or within the six (6) month period following Participants termination as an Employee, then the payment of such accelerated Award will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Participants termination as an Employee, unless the Participant dies following his or her termination as an Employee, in which case, the Award will be paid in Shares to the Participants estate as soon as practicable following his or her death. It is the intent of this PSA Program to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Awards provided under this PSA Program or Shares issuable pursuant to Awards made thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. For purposes of this Agreement, Section 409A means Section 409A of the Code, and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.
Performance Period
A Performance Period will coincide with each fiscal year and will continue for a 3 year period, unless otherwise specified. Each year a new three-year Performance Period will commence.
Award
Each Participant in the PSA Program has a target Award opportunity for the Performance Period, which must be established no later than the latest possible date that will not jeopardize an Awards qualification as performance based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended. This target is determined by the Committee. The Award opportunity is established for each executive pay grade level considering competitive performance share award opportunities for comparable positions.
Performance Goals
Participants will have their actual Award payment determined based upon the Companys performance. The performance goals established for a Performance Period and the formula for determining the Performance Share Award Factor, as defined below, will be displayed in Exhibit A.
PSA Program Award Formula
Participants are limited to a maximum Award equal to 200% of the target Award established for each Participant by the Committee. Final Awards will be distributed in shares of the Companys Common Stock. The Performance Share Award Factor is the combined performance level achieved by the Company against the two target measures of Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Return on Net Assets (RONA).

The Award formula is provided below:
Tax Withholding
The full value of the shares of Common Stock paid pursuant to an Award is considered wages and is therefore subject to tax withholding at the time of settlement. To satisfy such tax withholding obligations, the Company, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by one or more of the following (without limitation): (i) paying cash, (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, (iii) delivering to the Company already vested and owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld, or (iv) selling a sufficient number of such Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant through such means as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld. If a Participant fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required tax withholding obligations at the time the Award is otherwise scheduled to vest, the Company will, in its discretion, have the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy any tax withholding obligations by either
(i) reducing the number of Shares otherwisde deliverable having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, or (ii) selling a sufficient number of Shares otherwise deliverable on a Participants behalf through a broker or such other means as the Company may determine equal to the amount required to be withheld.
Audit and Approval of Awards
The Chief Financial Officer will review the financial calculations necessary to determine the performance against TSR and RONA measures as shown in Exhibit A, as well as other steps in determining the actual Award for each Participant, before Awards are settled. The Committee will approve all Awards prior to payout. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this PSA Program, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may eliminate or reduce an actual Award payable to any Participant below that which otherwise would be payable under the Award formula.
Payment
Awards will be paid as soon as practicable following the completion of the Performance Period and after the Committee has certified in writing that the performance goals and other material terms are satisfied. Payment will be made in whole Shares with any fractional Shares to be rounded up to the nearest whole Share.
Performance Share Award Factor means the measure used to calculate the participants payout determined by Company performance using Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Return on Net Assets (RONA) performance measures see Exhibit A attached.

(1) The TSR Ranking for each company in the peer group and the Company will be determined as follows:
· TSR for the term will be calculated by taking the companys stock price at the end of the Performance Period and adding the value of dividends paid during the Performance Period (assuming reinvestment). This sum is then divided by the companys stock price at the beginning of the Performance Period. Beginning and ending stock prices will be calculated by taking a 30 calendar day average of the quoted prices immediately preceding the first and last days of the Performance Period, respectively
· The Companys TSR performance will be ranked with a peer group of companies to determine the TSR Component Factor. For example, if the Company ranked in the 50th percentile, the TSR Component Factor would be 75% of the target Award.
· If the Companys TSR falls between the levels shown, the TSR Factor will be interpolated.

(1) The RONA Ranking for each company in the peer group and the Company will be determined as follows:
7
· RONA for the term will be an average of the RONA calculated for each year during the Performance Period. RONA for each year is calculated by taking a companys net income for the year and dividing it by the companys year-end Net Assets. Net Assets are defined as the companys total assets minus non-interest bearing current liabilities.
· The Companys RONA performance will be ranked with a peer group of companies to determine the RONA Component Factor. For example, if the Company ranked in the 60th percentile, the RONA Component Factor would be 100% of the target Award.
