To the extent not controlled by the terms and conditions contained in the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock granted hereby shall be governed by this Agreement as follows:

| (a) | The Restricted Stock shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth above if the Holder remains an Employee of the Company or a member of the Company Group on each vesting date. |
| (b) | Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, employment with CSWI or one of its subsidiaries after the Share Distribution will be deemed to be employment with the Company under the Plan, and a Termination of Service from CSWI and all of its subsidiaries after the Share Distribution will be deemed to be a Termination of Service from the Company under the Plan, notwithstanding that CSWI ceases to be an affiliate of the Company. |

| (ii) | individuals who at any time during the term of this Agreement constitute the board of directors of CSWI (the “CSWI Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the directors comprising the CSWI Incumbent Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of CSWI in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall be, for purposes of this clause (ii) considered as though such person were a member of the CSWI Incumbent Board; |
| (iii) | any consolidation or merger to which CSWI is a party, if following such consolidation or merger, stockholders of CSWI immediately prior to such consolidation or merger shall not beneficially own securities representing at least thirty-three and one third percent (33 1/3%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or continuing corporation; or |

| 4. | Retention of Certificates |
The certificate(s) representing the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereby will be stamped or otherwise imprinted with the legend required by the Plan with respect to any applicable restrictions on the sale or transfer of such shares, and the stock transfer records of the Company will reflect stop transfer instructions with respect to such shares. At the election of the Company, the Company may retain the certificate(s) representing the shares of Restricted Stock granted to the Holder pursuant to this Agreement until such time as the vesting restrictions have lapsed and the restrictions on the transfer of such Restricted Stock have terminated or are removed by the Board of Directors. Within a reasonable time thereafter, the Company will deliver to the Holder a new certificate representing such shares, free of the legend referred to herein. The issuance of such certificate shall not affect any restrictions upon the transferability of such shares pursuant to applicable law or otherwise.
