then-current term, as applicable (the term of employment hereunder, including
any extensions, in accordance with this Section 3, shall be referred to herein
as the "Employment Term").

Therefore, the Company and the Executive mutually agree that it is in the
interest of both parties for the Executive to enter into the restrictive
covenants set forth in this Section 5 and that such restrictions and covenants
are reasonable given the nature of the Executive's duties and the nature of the
Company's business.

Period (as hereinafter defined) following termination of the Employment Term,
the Executive shall not, within any jurisdiction or marketing area in which the
Company or any Affiliate is doing or is qualified to do business, directly or
indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by or participate in the
ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected in any manner
with, any Business (as hereinafter defined), provided that the Executive's
ownership of securities of two percent (2%) or less of any class of securities
of a public company shall not, by

<PAGE>

itself, be considered to be competition with the Company or any Affiliate. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Business" shall mean the manufacturing, production,
distribution or sale of exterior residential building products, including,
without limitation, vinyl siding, windows, fencing, decking, railings and garage
doors, or any other business of a type and character engaged in by the Company
or an Affiliate during the Employment Term. For purposes of this Agreement, the
"Restricted Period" shall be two (2) years.

          (b) Nonsolicitation. During the Employment Term and for the Restricted
Period following termination of the Employment Term, the Executive shall not,
directly or indirectly, (i) employ, solicit for employment or otherwise contract
for the services of any individual who is or was an employee of the Company or
any Affiliate during the Employment Term; (ii) otherwise induce or attempt to
induce any employee of the Company or an Affiliate to leave the employ of the

relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and any employee respectively
thereof; or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee
or other business relation of the Company or any Affiliate to cease doing
business with the Company or such Affiliate, or interfere in any way with the
relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation
and the Company or any Affiliate.

          (c) Nondisclosure; Inventions. For the Employment Term and thereafter,
(i) the Executive shall not divulge, transmit or otherwise disclose (except as
legally compelled by court order, and then only to the extent required, after
prompt notice to the Board of any such order), directly or indirectly, other
than in the regular and proper course of business of the Company and the
Affiliates, any customer lists, trade secrets or other confidential knowledge or
information with respect to the operations or finances of the Company or any
Affiliates or with respect to confidential or secret processes, services,
techniques, customers or plans with respect to the Company or the Affiliates
(all of the foregoing collectively hereinafter referred to as, "Confidential
Information"), and (ii) the Executive will not use, directly or indirectly, any
Confidential Information for the benefit of anyone other than the Company and
the Affiliates; provided, however, that the Executive has no obligation, express
or implied, to refrain from using or disclosing to others any such knowledge or
information which is or hereafter shall become available to the general public
other than through disclosure by the Executive. All Confidential Information,
new processes, techniques, know-how, methods, inventions, plans, products,
patents and devices developed, made or invented by the Executive, alone or with
others, while an employee of the Company which are related to the business of
the Company and the Affiliates shall be and become the sole property of the
Company, unless released in writing by the Board, and the Executive hereby
assigns any and all rights therein or thereto to the Company.

          (d) Nondisparagement. During the Employment Term and thereafter, the
Executive shall not take any action to disparage or criticize the Company or any
Affiliate or their respective employees, directors, owners or customers or to
engage in any other action that injures or hinders the business relationships of
the Company or any Affiliate. Nothing contained in this Section 5(d) shall
preclude the Executive from enforcing his rights under this Agreement.

          (e) Return of Company Property. All Confidential Information, files,
records, correspondence, memoranda, notes or other documents (including, without
limitation, those in computer-readable form) or property relating or belonging
to the Company or an Affiliate,

whether prepared by the Executive or otherwise coming into his possession in the
course of the performance of his services under this Agreement, shall be the
exclusive property of the Company and shall be delivered to the Company, and not
retained by the Executive (including, without limitations, any copies thereof),
promptly upon request by the Company and, in any event, promptly upon
termination of the Employment Term.

          (f) Enforcement. The Executive acknowledges that a breach of his
covenants contained in this Section 5 may cause irreparable damage to the
Company and the Affiliates, the exact amount of which would be difficult to
ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach or threatened breach
would be inadequate. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that if he breaches or
threatens to breach any of the covenants contained in this Section 5, in
addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the
Company and the Affiliates shall be entitled to specific performance and
injunctive relief to prevent the breach or any threatened breach thereof without
bond or other security or a showing that monetary damages will not provide an
adequate remedy.

           (g) Scope of Covenants. The Company and the Executive further
acknowledge that the time, scope, geographic area and other provisions of this
Section 5 have been specifically negotiated by sophisticated commercial parties
and agree that all such provisions are reasonable under the circumstances of the
activities contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that the agreements in
this Section 5 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable by reason of their extending for too great a period of time or
over too great a geographical area or by reason of their being too extensive in
any other respect, they shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum
period of time for which they may be enforceable and/or over the maximum
geographical area as to which they may be enforceable and/or to the maximum
extent in all other respects as to which they may be enforceable, all as
determined by such court in such action.

     6. Termination. The employment of the Executive hereunder shall
automatically terminate at the end of the Employment Term. The employment of the
Executive hereunder and the Employment Term may also be terminated at any time

otherwise provided in Section 8, "Cause" shall mean: (i) embezzlement, theft or
misappropriation by the Executive of any property of the Company or an
Affiliate; (ii) any breach by the Executive of the Executive's covenants under
Section 5; (iii) any breach by the Executive of any other material provision of
this Agreement which breach is not cured, to the extent susceptible to cure,
within thirty (30) days after the Company has given notice to the Executive
describing such breach; (iv) willful failure by the Executive to perform the
duties of his employment hereunder which continues for a period of fourteen (14)

conviction of, or a plea of nolo contendere (or a similar plea) to, any criminal
