<p align="center" style="text-align: center">CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; THIS CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT, dated as of April 7, 2005, is
entered into between Gibraltar Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
&quot;Company&quot;) and Henning Kornbrekke (the &quot;Executive&quot;).</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Board of Directors of the Company (the
&quot;Board&quot;) believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders to provide the Executive with an incentive to continue his
employment and to motivate the Executive to maximize the value of the Company.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It is possible that from time to time the
Company will consider the possibility of a change in control.&nbsp; The Board
recognizes that such consideration can be a distraction to the Executive and can
cause the Executive to consider alternative employment opportunities.&nbsp; The Board
has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication and
objectivity of the Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or
occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Company.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Board believes that it is imperative to
provide the Executive with certain benefits upon termination of employment upon
a Change in Control, which benefits are intended to provide the Executive with
financial security and provide sufficient incentive and encouragement to the
Executive to remain with the Company notwithstanding the possibility of a Change
in Control.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree as follow:</p>

the Change in Control had not occurred and the Executive had met all applicable
performance goals established by the Board of Directors in order to receive

<a name="_Ref94961776">SECTION 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Gross-up payment</a></p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event
it is determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the
benefit of the Executive, under this Agreement or otherwise (a &quot;Payment&quot;), would
be subject to the Excise Tax, then the Company shall pay the Executive an
additional payment (a &quot;Gross-Up Payment&quot;) in an amount such that after payment
by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with
respect to such taxes and including any Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross-Up
Payment) the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the
Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<a name="_Ref93738757">(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Subject to the provisions of SECTION 4(c) hereof, all determinations
required to be made under this SECTION 4, including whether a Gross-Up Payment
is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, shall be made by any
nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants (the &quot;Accounting
Firm&quot;) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations to the Company and
the Executive within 60 business days following the occurrence of a Change in
Control.&nbsp; If the Accounting Firm has performed services for the entity that
caused the Change of Control or any of its Affiliates, the Executive may select
an alternative accounting firm from any nationally recognized firm of certified
public accountants.&nbsp; If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is
payable by the Executive, it shall furnish the Executive with an opinion that he
has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax on his federal income tax
return.&nbsp; Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the
Company and the Executive.&nbsp; When calculating the amount of the Gross-Up Payment,
the Executive shall be deemed to pay:</a></p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;
Federal income taxes at the highest applicable marginal rate of Federal
income taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be
made; and</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp; any applicable state and local income taxes at the highest
applicable marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up
Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in Federal income taxes
which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes if paid in
such year.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<a name="_Ref93738231">(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the
Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the
Company of the Gross-Up Payment.&nbsp; Such notification shall be given as soon as
practicable but no later than ten business days after the Executive knows of
such claim.&nbsp; The notification shall apprise the Company of the nature of such
claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid.&nbsp; The Executive
shall not pay such claim for at least thirty days after the date on which he
gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that
any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due).&nbsp; If the Company
notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it
desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall:</a></p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;
give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company
relating to such claim;</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;
take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company
reasonably requests in writing from time to time, including, without limitation,
accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney
reasonably selected by the Company;</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;
cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively contest
such claim; and</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;
permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such
claim;</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;<i>provided, however</i>, that the Company shall bear and
pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and
penalties) incurred in connection with such contest.&nbsp; The Company shall
indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise
Tax or income tax, including interest and penalties with respect thereto,
imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses.&nbsp;
Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this SECTION 4(c), the Company
shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest.&nbsp; The
Company, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative
appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in
respect of such claim.&nbsp; The Company may, at its sole option, either direct the
Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in
any permissible manner and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a
determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial
jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall
determine; <i>provided, however</i>, that if the Company directs the Executive
to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall pay the amount of such
payment to the Executive and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on
an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax, including interest or
penalties, imposed with respect to such payment and with respect to any imputed
income with respect to such payment; and <i>provided, further</i> that any
extension of the statue of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the
taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is
claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount.&nbsp; The Company's
control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a
Gross-Up Payment would be payable and the Executive shall be entitled to settle
or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue
Service or any other taxing authority.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<a name="_Ref93740943">(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the
Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm, it is
possible that Gross-Up Payments which should have been made will not have been
made (&quot;Underpayment&quot;).&nbsp; In the event that the Company exhausts it remedies
pursuant to SECTION 4(c), and the Executive is required to make a payment of any
Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment
and the Company shall promptly pay the Executive the amount of such
Underpayment.</a></p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
If, after the Company has paid a claim pursuant to SECTION 4(c), the
Executive becomes entitled to a refund with respect to such claim, the Executive
shall (subject to the Company's complying with the requirements of SECTION 4(c))
promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any
interest paid or credited thereon by the taxing authority after deducting any
taxes applicable thereto). The amount of such payment shall be considered part
of the Gross-Up Payment and subject to gross-up for any taxes (including
interest or penalties) associated therewith.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0in" align="justify">
SECTION 5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
AT-WILL
EMPLOYMENT; WITHHOLDING.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The Company and the Executive acknowledge that the&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Executive's employment is and shall continue to be at-will, as defined under
applicable law.&nbsp; If the Executive's employment terminates for any reason,
including without limitation any termination prior to a Change in Control, the
Executive shall not be entitled to any payments, benefits, damages, awards or
compensation other than as provided by this Agreement, or as may otherwise be
available in accordance with the Company's established employee plans and
policies at the time of such termination.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to
withholding of applicable income and employment taxes.</p>

NON-COMPETE PERIOD.</a></p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
If the Executive's employment is terminated during the one year period
following a Change in Control, the Executive agrees that during the one-year
period following such termination, he will not, and will cause each of his
Affiliates not to, for any reason whatsoever, directly or indirectly, either
individually or as an owner, partner, officer, director, manager, employee,
lender, adviser or consultant or otherwise, engage in any Competitive Business
anywhere in the United States of America.&nbsp; The ownership by the Executive of up
to 5% of any class of securities of any company which has a class of securities
registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
shall not constitute a breach of this covenant.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The parties acknowledge and agree that damages in the event of a breach
of any of the provisions of this SECTION 6 would be difficult, if not
impossible, to ascertain and it is therefore agreed that the Company (or its
successor), in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may
have, shall have the right to an injunction or other equitable relief in any
court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach.&nbsp; The Executive
further agrees that the Company (or its successor) shall not be required to post
a bond or other security in connection with the issuance of any such injunction.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Notwithstanding anything in this SECTION 6 to the contrary, if at any
time, in any judicial proceeding, any of the restrictions stated in this SECTION
6 are found by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to be
unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable under circumstances then existing, the
Executive and the Company agree that the period, scope or geographical area, as
the case may be, shall be reduced to the extent necessary to enable the court to
enforce the restrictions to the extent such provisions are allowable under law,
giving effect to the agreement and intent of the parties that the restrictions
contained herein shall be effective to the fullest extent permissible.&nbsp; The
Executive agrees that the restrictions contained in this SECTION 6 are
reasonable in all respects.&nbsp; The provisions of this SECTION 6 shall survive the
term of this Agreement.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0in" align="justify">
<a name="_Ref94961788">SECTION 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
NONDISCLOSURE.</a>&nbsp; The Executive shall not (other
than in the good faith performance of his or her services to the Company or its
Affiliates before termination of employment) disclose or make known to anyone
other than employees of the Company or its Affiliates, or use for the benefit of
himself or herself or any other person, firm, operation, or entity unrelated to
the Company, any knowledge, information, or materials, whether tangible or
intangible, belonging to the Company, about the products, services, know-how,
customers, business plans, or financial, marketing, pricing, compensation, and
other proprietary matter relating to the Company. Promptly upon the termination
of the Executive's employment with the Company, the Executive shall deliver to
the Company any and all confidential information in his or her possession.&nbsp; The

SUCCESSORS.</a>&nbsp; The Company shall require any
successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company,
by agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Executive,
expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and
to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such
succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and
agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession will be a breach of
this Agreement and entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the
same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled to had this
Agreement been so assumed.</p>

SECTION 9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
NON-ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is personal in nature and
neither of the parties shall, without the consent of the other, assign or
transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it, except as
provided in SECTION 8. Without limiting the foregoing, the Executive's right to
receive payments under this Agreement shall not be assignable or transferable,
whether by pledge, creation of a security interest, or otherwise, other than a
transfer by his or her will or by the laws of descent or distribution, and, in
the event of any attempted assignment or transfer by the Executive contrary to
this Section, the Company shall have no liability to pay any amount so attempted
