NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Owens Corning,” “Company,” “we” and “our” in this report refer to Owens Corning, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.
The Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report are unaudited, pursuant to certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include, in the opinion of the Company, normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods indicated, which, however, are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. The
December 31, 2014
, balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.). In connection with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in this report, reference is made to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes contained in the Company’s
2014
annual report on Form 10-K. Certain reclassifications have been made to the periods presented for
2014
to conform to the classifications used in the periods presented for 2015.
In the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded additional income tax expense of
$4 million
related to prior periods. The effect was not material to the current or any previously issued financial statements.
In the fourth quarter of 2014, Owens Corning announced organizational changes to streamline the Company's management structure and reduce costs. As a result of this action, the Building Materials Group organizational structure was eliminated. The Company's management structure now has
three
reportable segments: Composites, Insulation and Roofing. As a result, the 2014 segment information in this Note has been presented to reflect the new structure. Accounting policies for the segments are the same as those for the Company. The Company’s reportable segments are defined as follows:
Composites –
comprised of our Reinforcements and Downstream businesses. Within the Reinforcements business, the Company manufactures, fabricates and sells glass reinforcements in the form of fiber. Within the Downstream business, the Company manufactures and sells glass fiber products in the form of fabrics, mat, veil and other specialized products.
Insulation –
Within our Insulation business, the Company manufactures and sells fiberglass insulation into residential, commercial, industrial and other markets for both thermal and acoustical applications. It also manufactures and sells glass fiber pipe insulation, energy efficient flexible duct media, bonded and granulated mineral wool insulation and foam insulation used in above- and below-grade construction applications.
Roofing –
Within our Roofing business, the Company manufactures and sells residential roofing shingles and oxidized asphalt materials used in residential and commercial construction and specialty applications.

SEGMENT INFORMATION (continued)

EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST AND TAXES
Earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) by segment consist of net sales less related costs and expenses and are presented on a basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance. Certain items, such as general corporate expenses or income and certain other expense or income items, are excluded from the internal evaluation of segment performance. Accordingly, these items are not reflected in EBIT for our reportable segments and are included in the Corporate, Other and Eliminations category.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
|
The Company is exposed to, among other risks, the impact of changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates in the normal course of business. The Company’s risk management program is designed to manage the exposure and volatility arising from these risks, and utilizes derivative financial instruments to offset a portion of these risks. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to hedge identified business risks, and does not enter into such transactions for trading purposes.
The Company generally does not require collateral or other security with counterparties to these financial instruments and is therefore subject to credit risk in the event of nonperformance; however, the Company monitors credit risk and currently does not anticipate nonperformance by other parties. Contracts with counterparties generally contain right of offset provisions. These provisions effectively reduce the Company’s exposure to credit risk in situations where the Company has gain and loss positions outstanding with a single counterparty. It is the Company’s policy to offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets the amounts recognized for derivative instruments with any cash collateral arising from derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement. As of
June 30, 2015
, and
December 31, 2014
, the Company did not have any amounts on deposit with any of its counterparties, nor did any of its counterparties have any amounts on deposit with the Company.
The following table presents the fair value of derivatives and hedging instruments and the respective location on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

Losses related to foreign currency derivatives were substantially offset by net revaluation impacts on foreign denominated balance sheet exposures, which were also recorded in Other expenses (income), net.
|
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses forward and swap contracts, which qualify as cash flow hedges, to manage forecasted exposure to natural gas and electricity prices. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of cash flow hedges is deferred in accumulated OCI and is subsequently recognized in Cost of Sales on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for commodity hedges, when the hedged item impacts earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities designated as hedging instruments are shown in Other within operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Any portion of the change in fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments that is determined to be ineffective is recorded in Other expenses (income), net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
The Company currently has natural gas derivatives designated as hedging instruments that mature within
15
months. The Company’s policy for natural gas exposures is to hedge up to
75%
of its total forecasted exposures for the next
two
months, up to
60%
of its total forecasted exposures for the following
four
months, and lesser amounts for the remaining periods. The Company's policy for electricity exposures is to hedge up to
75%
of its total forecasted exposures for the current calendar year and up to
65%
of its total forecasted exposures for the first calendar year forward. Based on market conditions, approved variation from the standard policy may occur. The Company performs an analysis for effectiveness of its derivatives designated as hedging instruments at the end of each quarter based on the terms of the contract and the underlying item being hedged.
As of
June 30, 2015
,
$4 million
of losses included in accumulated OCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets relate to contracts that are expected to impact earnings during the next
12
months. Transactions and events that are expected to occur over the next
12
months that will necessitate recognizing these deferred amounts include the recognition of the hedged item through earnings.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Fair Value Hedges
The Company manages its interest rate exposure by balancing the mixture of its fixed and variable rate instruments through interest rate swaps. The swaps are carried at fair value and recorded as other assets or liabilities, with the offset to long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of these swaps and that of the related debt are recorded in Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Net Investment Hedges
During the first quarter of 2015, the Company entered into cross currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, settlements and changes in fair values of the derivative instruments are recognized in Currency translation adjustment, a component of Accumulated OCI, to offset the changes in the values of the net investments being hedged. Any portion of net investment hedges that is determined to be ineffective is recorded in Other expenses (income), net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Other Derivatives
The Company uses forward currency exchange contracts to manage existing exposures to foreign exchange risk related to assets and liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses resulting from the changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded in Other expenses (income), net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Other Intangible Assets
The Company expects the ongoing amortization expense for amortizable intangible assets to be approximately
$22 million
in each of the next five fiscal years. The Company’s future cash flows are not materially impacted by its ability to extend or renew agreements related to our amortizable intangible assets.
Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently should circumstances change or events occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. No testing was deemed necessary in the first half of 2015.

9. COST REDUCTION ACTIONS
2014 Cost Reduction Actions
The Company took actions in the third quarter of 2014 to reduce costs in its Composites segment. These actions related to our decision to not rebuild two sub-scale high cost furnaces that will result in closing a facility in Japan and optimizing a facility in Canada. For the year-to-date 2015, the Company recorded offsetting amounts in charges related to cost reduction actions, comprised of
$1 million
in charges for a contract termination and a
$1 million
net gain in severance related to a pension curtailment, and
$2 million
of net charges in other items related to cost reduction actions.
The Company initiated other cost reduction actions in 2014 to streamline its management structure and reduce costs. No additional costs were incurred in the first six months of 2015 related to those actions.

of 2019 senior notes on June 3, 2009. On October 31, 2006, the Company issued
$650 million
of 2016 senior notes and
$540 million
of 2036 senior notes. The proceeds of these notes were used to pay certain unsecured and administrative claims, finance general working capital needs and for general corporate purposes.
Collectively, the notes above are referred to as the “Senior Notes.” The Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank
pari passu
with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company.
The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s current and future domestic subsidiaries that are a borrower or guarantor under the Company’s Credit Agreement (as defined below). The guarantees are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with all other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the guarantors. The guarantees are effectively subordinated to existing and future secured debt of the guarantors to the extent of the assets securing that indebtedness.
The Company has the option to redeem all or part of the Senior Notes at any time at a “make whole” redemption price. The Company is subject to certain covenants in connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes that it believes are usual and customary. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of
June 30, 2015
.
In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company terminated the interest rate swaps designated to hedge a portion of the
6.50%
senior notes due 2016. The swaps were carried at fair value and recorded as other assets or liabilities, with a fair value adjustment to
-

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)
long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value adjustment to debt will be amortized through 2016 as a reduction to interest expense in conjunction with the maturity date of the notes.
On June 28, 2013, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements effective July 1, 2013 to manage its interest rate exposure by swapping
$100 million
of fixed rate to variable rate exposure designated against our
4.20%
senior notes due 2022. The swaps are carried at fair value and recorded as other assets or liabilities, with a fair value adjustment to long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Senior Credit Facility
In November 2013, the Company amended the credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for the
$800 million
multi-currency senior revolving credit facility (the “Senior Revolving Credit Facility”) to extend the maturity to November 2018 and reduce the letters of credit sublimit to
$100 million
. The Senior Revolving Credit Facility includes both borrowings and letters of credit. Borrowings under the Senior Revolving Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes and working capital. The Company has the discretion to borrow under multiple options, which provide for varying terms and interest rates including the United States prime rate or LIBOR plus a spread.
The Senior Revolving Credit Facility contains various covenants, including a maximum allowed leverage ratio and a minimum required interest expense coverage ratio that the Company believes are usual and customary for a senior unsecured credit agreement. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of
June 30, 2015
.
As of
June 30, 2015
, the Company utilized its senior revolving credit facility for
$48 million
of borrowings and
$9 million
of outstanding letters of credit, and has
$743 million
available on this facility.
Receivables Securitization Facility
Included in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are amounts outstanding under a Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “RPA”) that are accounted for as secured borrowings in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 860, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing. Owens Corning Sales, LLC and Owens Corning Receivables LLC, each a subsidiary of the Company, have a
$250 million
RPA with certain financial institutions. The securitization facility was amended in November of 2013 to extend its maturity to July 2016 and to reduce the size of the facility to
$200 million
during the months of November, December, and January. The securitization facility was amended in January of 2015 to extend its maturity to January 2018 and remove the seasonal reduction of the facility restoring the full
$250 million
of facility capacity during the months of November, December, and January. As of
June 30, 2015
, the Company fully utilized its receivables securitization facility for
$242 million
in borrowings and
$8 million
of outstanding letters of credit. The Company has the ability to borrow at the lenders' cost of funds, which approximates A-1/P-1 commercial paper rates, plus a fixed spread.
The RPA contains various covenants, including a maximum allowed leverage ratio and a minimum required interest expense coverage ratio that the Company believes are usual and customary for a securitization facility. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of
June 30, 2015
.
Owens Corning Receivables LLC’s sole business consists of the purchase or acceptance through capital contributions of trade receivables and related rights from Owens Corning Sales, LLC and the subsequent retransfer of or granting of a security interest in such trade receivables and related rights to certain purchasers party to the RPA. Owens Corning Receivables LLC is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of Owens Corning Receivables LLC’s assets prior to any assets or value in Owens Corning Receivables LLC becoming available to Owens Corning Receivables LLC’s equity holders. The assets of Owens Corning Receivables LLC are not available to pay creditors of the Company or any other affiliates of the Company or Owens Corning Sales, LLC.
Capital Leases
The Company purchased its World Headquarters facility which had previously been classified as a capital lease. As a result, the Company reduced its capital lease obligation by
$10 million
and recorded a
$5 million
gain on extinguishment of debt in the
second
quarter of
2015

11. PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Pension Plans
The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans. Under the plans, pension benefits are based on an employee’s years of service and, for certain categories of employees, qualifying compensation. Company contributions to these pension plans are determined by an independent actuary to meet or exceed minimum funding requirements. In our Non-U.S. plans, the unrecognized cost of any retroactive amendments and actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the average future service period of plan participants expected to receive benefits. In our U.S. plans, the unrecognized cost of any retroactive amendments and actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants as substantially all of the plan participants are inactive.

. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER MATTERS
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings relating to employment, product liability and other matters (collectively, “Proceedings”). The Company regularly reviews the status of such Proceedings with legal counsel. Liabilities for such Proceedings are recorded when it is probable that the liability has been incurred and when the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities are adjusted when additional information becomes available. Management believes that the amount of any reasonably possible losses in excess of any amounts accrued, if any, with respect to such Proceedings or any other known claims, including the matters described below under the caption Environmental Matters (the “Environmental Matters”) will not be material to the Company’s financial statements. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of the Proceedings and the Environmental Matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial condition taken as a whole.
Litigation
The Company is involved in litigation from time to time in the regular course of its business. The Company believes that adequate provisions for resolution of all contingencies, claims and pending litigation have been made for probable losses that are reasonably estimable. The Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these actions will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental Matters
The Company has been deemed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency to be a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) with respect to certain sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act. The Company has also been deemed a PRP under similar state or local laws and in other instances other PRPs have brought suits against it as a PRP for contribution under such federal, state, or local laws. At
June 30, 2015
, the Company had environmental remediation liabilities as a PRP at
19
sites where it has a continuing legal obligation to either complete remedial actions or contribute to the completion of remedial actions as part of a group of PRPs. Environmental liability estimates may be affected by changing determinations of what constitutes an environmental exposure or an acceptable level of cleanup. To the extent that the required remediation procedures or timing of those procedures change, additional contamination is identified, or the financial condition of other PRPs is adversely affected, the estimate of our environmental liabilities may change. For these sites the Company estimates a reserve to reflect environmental liabilities that have been asserted or are probable of assertion, in which liabilities are probable and reasonably estimable. At
June 30, 2015
, our reserve for such liabilities was
$2 million
. Changes in required remediation procedures or timing of those procedures at existing legacy sites, or discovery of contamination at additional sites, could result in increases to our environmental obligations.

13. STOCK COMPENSATION
Stock Plans
On April 18, 2013, the Company’s stockholders approved the Owens Corning 2013 Stock Plan (the “2013 Stock Plan”) which replaced the 2010 Stock Plan. The 2013 Stock Plan authorizes grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, bonus stock awards and performance stock awards. Under the 2013 Stock Plan,
1.5 million
shares of common stock may be granted in addition to the shares of Company common stock that rolled over from the 2010 Stock Plan. Such shares of common stock include shares that were available but not granted, or which were granted but were not issued or delivered due to expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such awards. There will be no future grants made under the 2010 Stock Plan. At
June 30, 2015
, the number of shares remaining available under the 2013 Stock Plan for all stock awards was
2.0 million
.
Stock Options
The Company did not grant any stock options during the six months ended
June 30, 2015
. The Company calculates a weighted-average grant-date fair value using a Black-Scholes valuation model for options granted. Compensation expense for options is measured based on the fair market value of the option on the date of grant, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over a
four
year vesting period. In general, the exercise price of each option awarded was equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and an option’s maximum term is
10
years.
During the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2015
the Company recognized expense of
$1 million
and
$2 million
respectively, related to the Company's stock options. During the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2014
, the Company recognized expense of
$1 million
, and
$3 million
related to the Company’s stock options, respectively. As of
June 30, 2015
, there was
$6 million
of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
2.17
years. The total aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of
June 30, 2015
was
$24 million

Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units
The Company has granted restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (collectively referred to as “restricted stock”) as a part of its long-term incentive plan. Compensation expense for restricted stock is measured based on the market price of the stock at date of grant and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
four
-year vesting period. Stock restrictions are subject to alternate vesting plans for death, disability, approved early retirement and involuntary termination, over various periods ending in 2019.
During the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2015
, the Company recognized expense of
$4 million
and
$8 million
respectively, related to the Company's restricted stock. During the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2014
, the Company recognized expense of
$4 million
and

, respectively, related to the Company’s restricted stock. As of
June 30, 2015
, there was
$33 million
of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
2.91
years. The total fair value of shares vested during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2015
and

Performance Stock Awards and Performance Stock Units
The Company has granted performance stock awards and performance stock units (collectively referred to as “PSUs”) as a part of its long-term incentive plan. All outstanding performance grants will fully settle in stock. The amount of stock ultimately distributed from the 2015 grants is contingent on meeting internal company-based metrics or an external-based stock performance metric. The amount of stock ultimately distributed from 2014 and prior grants is contingent on meeting an external based stock performance metric.
In the first
six
months of
2015
, the Company granted both internal company-based and external-based metric PSUs.
Internal based metrics
The internal company-based metrics vest after a three-year period and are based on return on invested capital over a three-year period. The amount of stock distributed will vary from
0%
to
300%
of PSUs awarded depending on performance versus the company-based metrics.
The initial fair value for all internal company-based metric PSUs assumes that the performance goals will be achieved and is based on the grant date stock price. This assumption is monitored quarterly and if it becomes probable that such goals will not be achieved or will be exceeded, compensation expense recognized will be adjusted and previous surplus compensation expense recognized will be reversed or additional expense will be recognized. The expected term represents the period from the grant date to the end of the three-year performance period. Vesting will be accelerated in the case of death or disability, and awards earned will be paid at the end of the three-year period.
External based metrics
The external-based metric vests after a three-year period. Outstanding grants issued in 2015 forward will be based on the Company's total stockholder return relative to the performance of the S&P Building & Construction Industry Index. Outstanding grants issued

prior to 2015 are based on the Company's total stockholder return relative to the performance of the companies in the S&P 500 Index. The amount of stock distributed will vary from
0%
to
200%
of PSUs awarded depending on the relative stockholder return performance.
The Company estimated the fair value of the external-based metric performance stock grants using a Monte Carlo simulation that uses various assumptions that include expected volatility of
29.2%
, and a risk free interest rate of
1.1%
both of which were based on an expected term of
2.90
years. Expected volatility was based on a benchmark study of our peers. The risk-free interest rate was based on zero coupon United States Treasury bills at the time of grant. The expected term represents the period from the grant date to the end of the three-year performance period. Compensation expense for external based metric PSUs is measured based on the grant date fair value and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Vesting will be accelerated in the case of death or disability, and awards earned will be paid at the end of the three-year period.
During the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2015
the Company recognized expense of
$1 million
and
$3 million
respectively, related to the Company's PSUs. During the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2014
, the Company recognized expense of
$0 million
and
$2 million
related to the Company’s PSUs, respectively. As of
June 30, 2015
, there was
$14 million
of total unrecognized compensation cost related to PSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
1.96
years.

In 2012, the Company approved a new share buy-back program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to
10 million
shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). The Repurchase Program authorizes the Company to repurchase shares through the open market, in privately negotiated or other transactions. The actual number of shares repurchased will depend on timing, market conditions and other factors and will be at the Company’s discretion. The Company repurchased
1.1 million
shares of its common stock for
$42 million
during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2015
under the Repurchase Program. As of
June 30, 2015
,
6.6 million
shares remain available for repurchase under the Repurchase Program.
For the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2015
, the number of shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share did not include
0.1 million
non-vested Restricted and Performance shares and
0.6 million
of options to purchase common stock, due to their anti-dilutive effect.
For the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2014
, the number of shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share did not include
0.7 million
of options to purchase common stock, due to their anti-dilutive effect.

. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company classifies and discloses assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
Items Measured at Fair Value
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and short-term debt approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of the instruments.
Derivatives
The Company executes financial derivative contracts for the purpose of mitigating risk exposure that is generated from our normal operations. These derivatives consist of natural gas swaps, interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, and foreign exchange forward contracts, all of which are over-the-counter and not traded through an exchange. The Company uses widely

15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (continued)
accepted valuation tools to determine fair value, such as discounting cash flows to calculate a present value for the derivatives. The models use Level 2 inputs, such as forward curves and other commonly quoted observable transactions and prices.
Contingent consideration
In connection with our third quarter 2014 acquisition, we recorded contingent consideration pertaining to amounts payable to the former owners related to a put/call option that is to be determined based on a multiple of 2016 EBITDA that contains a cap of
$7 million
and a floor of
$4 million
. The valuation of contingent consideration uses assumptions we believe would be made by a market participant and has been based on a significant input not observable in the market. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of our contingent consideration includes our internal forecast of business performance, which is a Level 3 input. The fair value of the put/call as of
June 30, 2015
is
$6 million
and has been recorded in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The change in fair value of
$1 million
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2015
was recognized in Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
The following table summarizes the fair values and levels within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall as of

The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of
35%
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to the tax accounting treatment of various locations which are currently in a loss position, the benefit of lower foreign tax rates and other discrete tax adjustments.
For the second quarter and year-to-date 2014, the Company’s effective tax rate was 50% and (15)%, respectively. For the second quarter, the difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory rate of 35% is primarily attributable to the tax accounting treatment related to various locations which are currently in a loss position. For the year-to-date period, the difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory rate of 35% is primarily attributable to the resolution of an uncertain tax position upon receiving final notification from the IRS that it had completed its audit examination for the taxable years 2008 through 2010 and the reversal of a valuation allowance recorded in prior years against certain European net deferred tax assets which cumulatively totaled
$78 million
. The remaining differences relate to other discrete adjustments in the quarter and the accounting treatment of various locations which are currently in a loss position in the second quarter 2014.

. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-09 is effective, as amended, for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. Accordingly, the standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-03"). ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Prior to the issuance of the standard, debt issuance costs were required to be presented in the balance sheet as an asset. The update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Accordingly, the standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-04, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer's Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets" ("ASU 2015-04"). ASU 2015-04 provides a practical expedient for entities to use when a significant event occurs in an interim period that requires remeasurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations. Entities are permitted to remeasure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end that is closest to the date of the significant event. The update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. ASU 2015-04 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. Accordingly, the standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)" ("ASU 2015-07"). ASU 2015-07 modifies the practical expedient that permits an entity to measure the fair value of certain investments using the net asset value per share of the investment. The amendment removes the requirement to categorize investments within the fair value hierarchy that are measured using this practical expedient. The amendment also limits disclosure to investments for which the practical expedient has been elected instead of all investments eligible for the practical expedient. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on the footnote disclosures to its consolidated financial statements. ASU 2015-07 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. Accordingly, the standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016.

19. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements present the financial information required with respect to those entities which guarantee certain of the Company’s debt. The Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements are presented on the equity method. Under this method, the investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share of the subsidiaries’ cumulative results of operations, capital contributions, distributions and other equity changes. The principal elimination entries eliminate investment in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company discovered that certain Property, plant and equipment, net of the Parent was incorrectly classified as assets of the Guarantor Subsidiaries rather than the Parent in the 2014 Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet. The misclassification increased and decreased previously reported Parent and Guarantor Subsidiaries' Property, plant and equipment, net by
$112 million
, respectively, decreased the Parent's Investment in subsidiaries by
$112 million
, and decreased the Guarantor Subsidiaries' Additional paid in capital by
$112 million
. The effect of correcting these classification errors was not material to the 2014 consolidating financial information, and the related amounts presented for 2014 have been revised.
Guarantor and Nonguarantor Financial Statements
The Senior Notes and the Senior Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed, fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally, by each of Owens Corning’s current and future 100% owned material domestic subsidiaries that is a borrower or a guarantor under Owens Corning’s Credit Agreement, which permits changes to the named guarantors in certain situations (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The remaining subsidiaries have not guaranteed the Senior Notes and the Senior Revolving Credit Facility (collectively, the “Nonguarantor Subsidiaries”).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help investors understand Owens Corning, our operations and our present business environment. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes thereto contained in this report. Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Owens Corning,” “Company,” “we” and “our” in this report refer to Owens Corning and its subsidiaries.
GENERAL
Owens Corning is a leading global producer of glass fiber reinforcements and other materials for composites and of residential and commercial building materials. In the fourth quarter of 2014, Owens Corning announced organizational changes to streamline the Company's management structure and reduce costs. As a result of this action, the Building Materials Group organizational structure was eliminated. The Company’s management structure and business operations now contain three reportable segments: Composites, Insulation and Roofing. Through these lines of business, we manufacture and sell products worldwide. We maintain leading market positions in many of our major product categories.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
The Company reported
$156 million
in earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) for the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to
$73 million
in the same period of
2014
. The Company generated
$156 million
in adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”) for the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to
$96 million
in the same period of
2014
. See below for further information regarding EBIT and Adjusted EBIT, including the reconciliation to net earnings attributable to Owens Corning. EBIT performance compared to the same period of
2014
improved in all three segments, with a
$30 million
increase in our Composites segment, a
$28 million
increase in our Roofing segment, and a
$7 million
increase in our Insulation segment. Excluding restructuring actions and adjusting items, Corporate Adjusted EBIT losses
increased
by
$5 million
.
In our Composites segment, EBIT in the
second
quarter of
2015
was
$67 million
compared to
$37 million
in the same period in
2014
driven primarily by increased contribution margins. In our Insulation segment, EBIT in the
second
quarter of
2015
was
$25 million
compared to
$18 million
in the same period in
2014
driven primarily by higher selling prices. In our Roofing segment, EBIT in the
second
quarter of
2015
was
$90 million
compared to
$62 million
in the same period in
2014
driven primarily by higher sales volumes and cost deflation, primarily asphalt.
In the six months ended June 30,
2015
, the Company's operating activities provided
$80 million
in cash flow, compared to
$117 million
used for operating activities in the same period in
2014
. This increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to changes in working capital.
The Company repurchased 0.7 million shares of the Company's common stock for $28 million in the
second
quarter of
2015
under a previously announced repurchase program. As of
June 30, 2015
, 6.6 million shares remain available for repurchase under the authorization program.

The Consolidated Results discussion below provides a summary of our results and the trends affecting our business, and should be read in conjunction with the more detailed Segment Results discussion that follows.
NET SALES
Second quarter
and year-to-date net sales
increased
$59 million
and
decreased
$12 million
, respectively, compared to the same periods in
2014
. For the
second
quarter, the increase in net sales was mainly due to higher sales volumes in our Roofing segment, This increase was partially offset by the negative impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars, primarily in our Composites and Insulation segments. For the year-to-date comparison, higher sales volumes in our Composites, Insulation and Roofing segments were more than offset by lower selling prices in our Roofing segment and the negative impact of foreign currency translation, primarily in our Composites and Insulation segments.
GROSS MARGIN
In the
second
quarter of
2015
, gross margin as a percentage of sales increased four percentage points compared to the
second
quarter of
2014
. The increase was driven by input cost deflation in our Roofing segment, and increased contribution margins in our Composites and Insulation segments. For the year-to-date
2015
, gross margin as a percentage of sales increased two percentage points compared to the same period of
2014
. The increase was driven by increased contribution margins in our Composites and Insulation segments, partially offset by lower selling prices in our Roofing segment.
CHARGES RELATED TO COST REDUCTION ACTIONS
During 2014, the Company took actions to reduce costs throughout our global Composites network, mainly through the decision to close a facility in Japan and optimize a facility in Canada, in addition to other cost reduction actions. The Company also took actions in 2014 to streamline its management structure and reduce costs, resulting in the elimination of the Building Materials Group organizational structure.
The following table presents the impact and respective location of charges related to cost reduction actions and related items on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings (in millions):

EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST AND TAXES
EBIT
increased
by
$83 million
for the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to the same period in
2014
.
Second quarter
EBIT in our Composites segment
increased
by
$30 million
. In our Insulation segment,
second
quarter EBIT
increased
by
$7 million
. In our Roofing segment,
second
quarter EBIT
increased
by
$28 million
. Corporate EBIT losses for the
second
quarter
decreased
by
$18 million
, due primarily to the impairment loss on our European Stone business that was recognized in the second quarter of
2014
.
For the year-to-date
2015
, EBIT
increased
by
$33 million
compared to the same period in
2014
. Year-to-date EBIT in our Composites segment
increased
by
$63 million
. In our Insulation segment, year-to-date EBIT
increased
by
$13 million
. In our Roofing segment, year-to-date EBIT
decreased
by
$32 million
. Corporate EBIT losses for the year-to-date
increased
by
$11 million
, due primarily to the gain on sale of our Hangzhou, China facility that was recognized in the first quarter of 2014, partially offset by the impairment loss on our European Stone business that was recognized in the second quarter of
2014
.
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET
Second quarter
and year-to-date interest expense, net
decreased
$5 million
and
decreased
$6 million
, respectively, compared to the same periods in
2014
. The reduction was primarily due to reduced interest expense following the November 2014 refinancing of portions of our Senior Notes due in 2016 and 2019.
GAIN ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT
The Company purchased its World Headquarters facility, which had previously been classified as a capital lease. As a result, the Company recorded a $5 million gain on extinguishment of debt in the
second
quarter of
2015
. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, there were no extinguishments of debt.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income tax expense (benefit) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was an expense of $44 million and $57 million, respectively. For the second quarter and year-to-date 2015, the Company’s effective tax rate was 33% and 34%, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to the tax accounting treatment of various locations which are currently in a loss position, the benefit of lower foreign tax rates and other discrete tax adjustments.
Realization of deferred tax assets depends on achieving a certain minimum level of future taxable income. Management currently believes that it is at least reasonably possible that the minimum level of taxable income will be met within the next 12 months to reduce the valuation allowance of certain foreign jurisdictions by a range of $0 million to $11 million.
Income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, was an expense of $21 million and a benefit of $18 million, respectively. For the second quarter and year-to-date 2014, the Company’s effective tax rate was 50% and (15)%, respectively. For the second quarter, the difference between the effective tax rate and the US statutory tax rate of 35% is primarily attributable to the tax accounting treatment related to various locations which are currently in a loss position. For the year-to-date period, the difference between the effective tax rate and the US statutory tax rate of 35% is primarily attributable to the resolution of an uncertain tax position upon receiving final notification from the IRS that it had completed its audit examination for the taxable years 2008 through 2010 and the reversal of a valuation allowance recorded in prior years against certain European net deferred tax assets which cumulatively totaled $78 million. The remaining differences relate to other discrete adjustments in the quarter and the accounting treatment of various locations which are currently in a loss position in the second quarter 2014.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”)
Adjusted EBIT excludes certain items that management does not allocate to our segment results because it believes they are not a result of the Company’s current operations. Adjusted EBIT is used internally by the Company for various purposes, including reporting results of operations to the Board of Directors of the Company, analysis of performance and related employee compensation measures. Although management believes that these adjustments result in a measure that provides a useful representation of our operational performance, the adjusted measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings attributable to Owens Corning as prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Segment Results
EBIT by segment consists of net sales less related costs and expenses and are presented on a basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance. Certain items, such as general corporate expenses or income and certain other expense or income items, are excluded from the internal evaluation of segment performance. Accordingly, these items are not reflected in EBIT for our reportable segments and are included in the Corporate, Other and Eliminations category, which is presented following the discussion of our reportable segments.

NET SALES
In our Composites business, net sales in the
second
quarter and year-to-date of
2015
increased
$3 million
and
$4 million
, respectively, compared to the same periods in
2014
. For the
second
quarter, the quarter-over-quarter impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars negatively impacted sales by $47 million. Increased sales volumes of 2% and higher selling prices equally offset the currency impact. The remaining improvement in sales was driven by favorable product mix. For the year-to-date, foreign currency translation negatively impacted sales by $92 million, and was entirely offset by higher selling prices of $18 million, higher sales volumes, and favorable product mix.
EBIT
In our Composites business, EBIT was
$30 million
higher
in the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to the same period in
2014
. Higher selling prices, the favorable impact of product mix and improved manufacturing performance contributed equally to the $30 million quarter-over-quarter improvement. The negative impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars was offset equally by higher sales volumes and lower selling, general and administrative expenses.
EBIT in our Composites business for the year-to-date
2015
was
$63 million
higher
compared to the same period in
2014
. The favorable impact of product mix, higher selling prices of $18 million and improved manufacturing performance drove the year-over-year EBIT improvement. The negative impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars was offset equally by higher sales volumes and lower selling, general and administrative expenses.
OUTLOOK
Global glass reinforcements market demand has historically grown on average with global industrial production and we believe this relationship will continue. In
2015
, we expect moderate global industrial production growth.

NET SALES
In our Insulation business, net sales in the
second
quarter and year-to-date of
2015
increased
$4 million
and
$28 million
, respectively, compared to the same periods in
2014
. For the second-quarter, higher selling prices of $7 million were offset by the negative impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars. Sales volumes were relatively flat, and the remaining increase was driven by favorable customer mix. For the year-to-date comparison, the increase was driven about equally by higher selling prices of $13 million and higher sales volumes. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted sales by $13 million, and was offset about equally by the impact of our third quarter 2014 acquisition of a building materials company in Chile and favorable customer mix.
EBIT
In our Insulation business, EBIT
increased
by
$7 million
and
$13 million
in the
second
quarter and year-to-date
2015
compared to the same periods in
2014
. This increase for both comparisons was driven primarily by higher selling prices.
OUTLOOK
During the
second
quarter of
2015
, the average Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate (“SAAR”) of United States housing starts was approximately 1.150 million, up from an annual average of approximately 975 thousand starts in the
second
quarter of
2014
. While the information on United States housing starts has been positive over the past couple of years, the timing and pace of recovery of the United States housing market remains uncertain.
The Company expects its Insulation business to continue to benefit from an overall strengthening of the U.S. housing market, improved pricing, and higher capacity utilization. We believe the geographic, product and channel mix of our portfolio may continue to moderate the impact of any demand-driven variability associated with United States new construction.

2015
were
$66 million
higher
and
$38 million
lower
, respectively, compared to the same periods in
2014
. For the

increased
$28 million
and
decreased
$32 million
, respectively, compared to the same periods in

second
quarter, lower selling prices compared to prior year negatively impacted EBIT by $45 million. About three-quarters of the remaining second quarter increase in EBIT was driven by the favorable impact of higher sales volumes and higher production levels, with the remaining improvement coming from asphalt deflation. For the year-to-date comparison, lower selling prices negatively impacted EBIT by $71 million. The impact of lower selling prices was partially offset by slightly higher sales volumes and asphalt deflation. The unfavorable impact of lower production volumes in the first quarter was largely offset by the favorable impact of higher production volumes in the second quarter.
OUTLOOK
In our roofing business, we expect the factors that have driven strong margins in recent years will continue to deliver profitability. The overall market size will impact our financial outlook for this year. Other uncertainties that may impact our Roofing margins include competitive pricing pressure and the cost and availability of raw materials, particularly asphalt.

EBIT
In Corporate, Other and Eliminations, EBIT losses for the
second
quarter and year-to-date
2015
were
$18 million
lower
and
$11 million
higher
, respectively, compared to the same period in
2014
. The changes compared to 2014 are largely driven by the timing of adjusting items, which are shown in the table above and further explained in the Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes paragraph of the MD&A.
Excluding adjusting items, general corporate expense and other in the
second
quarter of
2015
was
$5 million
higher
compared to the same period in
2014
, primarily due to higher incentive compensation from stronger company performance. For the year-to-date
2015
, general corporate expense and other was
$1 million
higher
compared to the same period in
2014
, as increased incentive compensation was largely offset by decreased Corporate functions spending and overall lower general corporate expenses.
Depreciation and amortization in the
second
quarter of
2015
was flat to the same period in
2014
. For the year-to-date
2015
, depreciation and amortization is $3 million higher than the same period in
2014
, primarily due to including $3 million of accelerated depreciation related to our Japan and Canada restructuring plan in the
2015
results.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
OUTLOOK
In
2015
, we now expect general corporate expenses to be on the low end of our previous guidance of $120 million to $130 million.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS
Liquidity
The Company's primary sources of liquidity are its senior revolving credit facility and its receivables securitization facility.
The Company has an $800 million senior revolving credit facility which matures in November 2018.
The Company has a $250 million receivables securitization facility which matures in January 2018. In July 2013, the Company amended its receivables securitization facility to extend its maturity to July 2016 and to reduce the size of the facility to $200 million during the months of November, December, and January. In January 2015, the Company amended its receivables securitization facility to extend its maturity to January 2018 and remove the seasonal reduction of the facility restoring the full $250 million of facility capacity during the months of November, December, and January.
As of
June 30, 2015
, the Company fully utilized its receivables securitization facility for $242 million of borrowings and $8 million of outstanding letters of credit. As of
June 30, 2015
, the Company utilized its senior revolving credit facility for $48 million of borrowings and $9 million of outstanding letters of credit, and has $743 million available on this facility.
The Company has no significant debt maturities before the fourth quarter of 2016. As of
June 30, 2015
, the Company had
$2.2 billion
of total debt and cash-on-hand of
$80 million
.
Cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries may be subject to U.S. income tax and foreign withholding taxes upon repatriation to the U.S. The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of these subsidiaries as earnings are reinvested and, in the opinion of management, will continue to be reinvested indefinitely outside of the U.S. As of
June 30, 2015
, and
December 31, 2014
, the Company had approximately $69 million and $46 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents in certain of our foreign subsidiaries. We consider the majority of this amount held by foreign subsidiaries to be undistributed earnings that are permanently reinvested.
As a holding company, we have no operations of our own and most of our assets are held by our direct and indirect subsidiaries. Dividends and other payments or distributions from our subsidiaries will be used to meet our debt service and other obligations and to enable us to pay dividends to our stockholders. Please refer to p. 11 of the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for details on the factors that could inhibit our subsidiaries ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to the parent company.
We expect that our cash on hand, coupled with future cash flows from operations and other available sources of liquidity, including our senior revolving credit facility, will provide ample liquidity to enable us to meet our cash requirements. Our anticipated uses of cash include capital expenditures, working capital needs, pension contributions, meeting financial obligations, payments of quarterly dividends as authorized by our Board of Directors, and reducing outstanding amounts under the senior revolving credit facility and receivables securitization facility.
We have outstanding share repurchase authorizations and will evaluate and consider repurchasing shares of our common stock, as well as strategic acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and other transactions to create stockholder value and enhance financial performance. Such transactions may require cash expenditures beyond current sources of liquidity or generate proceeds.
The credit agreements applicable to our senior revolving credit facility and the receivables securitization facility contain various covenants that we believe are usual and customary for agreements of these types. The senior revolving credit facility and the securitization facility each include a maximum allowed leverage ratio and a minimum required interest expense coverage ratio. We were in compliance with these covenants as of
June 30, 2015
.

Operating activities
: For the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
, the Company's operating activities provided
$80 million
of cash compared to
$117 million
used for operating activities in the same period in
2014
. The change in cash provided by (used for) operating activities was primarily due to a smaller increase in working capital in 2015 compared to the same period of
2014
.
Investing activities:
Net cash flow used for investing activities
increased
$84 million
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2015
compared to the same period of
2014
. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received $77 million related to the sale of assets or affiliates, negatively impacting the year-over-year comparison.
Financing activities:
Net cash provided by financing activities was
$123 million
lower
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2015
compared to the same period in
2014
. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to lower net borrowings on both our senior revolving credit facility and short-term debt arrangements.
2015 Investments
Capital Expenditures:
The Company will continue a balanced approach to the use of its cash flow. Operational cash flow will be used to fund the Company’s growth and innovation. Capital expenditures in
2015
are expected to be approximately $380 million, which is roughly $70 million greater than expected depreciation and amortization. Capital spending in excess of depreciation and amortization is primarily due to the construction of our non-woven composites plant in Gastonia, North Carolina and construction of our recently announced mineral wool insulation plant in Joplin, Missouri. The Company will also continue to evaluate projects and acquisitions that provide opportunities for growth in our businesses, and invest in them when they meet our strategic and financial criteria.
Tax Net Operating Losses
There have been no material changes to the disclosure in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2014
.
Pension Contributions
Please refer to Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company expects to contribute $62 million in cash to its global pension plans during
2015
. Actual contributions to the plans may change as a result of several factors, including changes in laws that impact funding requirements. The ultimate cash flow impact to the Company, if any, of the pension plan liability and the timing of any such impact will depend on numerous variables, including future changes in actuarial assumptions, legislative changes to pension funding laws, and market conditions.

Contractual Obligations
In the normal course of business, we enter into contractual obligations to make payments to third parties. During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2015
, there were no material changes to such contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of our business.
SAFETY
Working safely is a condition of employment at Owens Corning. We believe this organization-wide expectation provides for a safer work environment for employees, improves our manufacturing processes, reduces our costs and enhances our reputation. Furthermore, striving to be a world-class leader in safety provides a platform for all employees to understand and apply the resolve necessary to be a high-performing global organization. We measure our progress on safety based on Recordable Incidence Rate (“RIR”) as defined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. For the three months ended
June 30, 2015
, our RIR was 0.42 as compared to 0.52 in the same period a year ago. For the
six
months ended
June 30, 2015
, our RIR was 0.53 as compared to 0.50 in the same period a year ago.

OWENS CORNING 2013 STOCK PLAN
DEFERRED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
OWENS CORNING, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), will grant to
[Participant Name]
(the “Holder”),
effective [Date]
, pursuant to the provisions of the Owens Corning 2013 Stock Plan (the “Plan”), certain deferred stock units (the “Units”) relating to shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.01 par value (“Stock”), upon and subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth below (the “Award”). The Units reflect: (1) the Holder’s election to defer receipt of shares granted to the Holder for service as a Non-Employee Director; and (2) the Holder’s election to receive the Units in lieu of all or part of the Holder’s cash retainer and meeting fees that would otherwise be payable to the Holder for the Holder’s service as a Non-Employee Director. The Units that become subject to this Award shall be determined and granted to the Holder as of each date during
[Year]
on which shares of Stock or cash would have otherwise been issued or paid to the Holder if the Holder had not made an election to receive Units in lieu of such shares and cash payments (each, a “Grant Date”). The number of Units subject to this Award shall be equal to (i) the number of shares of Stock that otherwise would have been issued to the Holder as of the applicable Grant Date and (ii) the amount of cash that otherwise would have been paid to the Holder as of the applicable Grant Date divided by the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock as of such Grant Date. The parties intend for this Award Agreement to apply to all Units granted to the Holder in
[Year]
pursuant to the attached Election Form. Each Unit shall provide for the issuance and transfer to the Holder of one share of Stock. Upon issuance and transfer of the shares of Stock subject to the Units, the Holder shall have all rights incident to ownership of such shares, including but not limited to voting rights and the right to receive dividends. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan.
1.
Delivery of Certificates
. Subject to the remainder of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered one or more certificates representing the number of whole shares of Stock represented by this Award on the distribution date and in the manner elected by the Holder in his or her
[Year]
Director’s Compensation Stock/Cash Election Form (the “Election Form”). The distribution shall commence as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event later than 90 days, following the date elected by the Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event of the Holder’s death, the shares of Stock subject to the Award shall be distributed to the Holder’s Beneficiary in a lump sum within 90 days following the date of the Holder’s death, (ii) in the event of a change in control event, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the shares of Stock subject to the Award or, at the election of the Board as constituted immediately prior to such change in control event, a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares shall be distributed to the Holder in a lump sum not later than five business days after the date of such change in control event [and (iii) as of the date of the Holder’s separation from service, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder equal to the Fair Market Value of any fractional share of Stock subject to this Award].
2.
Rights as a Stockholder
. Prior to the settlement of this Award in accordance with this Agreement and the Election Form, the Holder will be credited with additional whole and
fractional Units to reflect dividends payable with respect to the shares of Stock represented by the Units, with the increase in the number of Units equal to the number of shares of Stock that could be purchased with the dividends based on the value of the Stock at the time such dividends are paid. Units credited pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid to the Holder in the time and manner as provided under this Agreement and the attached Election Form. No dividends will be credited with respect to record dates occurring prior the applicable Grant Date. The Holder shall not be a shareholder of record with respect to the shares of Stock underlying the Units and shall have no voting rights with respect to such shares prior to the Holder’s receipt of such shares. The Parties agree that in the absence of a specific agreement to the contrary, the Holder’s rights as a shareholder for all prior equity grants and awards shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Section 2.
3.
Additional Terms and Conditions of Units
.
3.1
Nontransferability of Units
. Prior to the settlement of the Award in accordance with this Agreement and the Election Form, the Units subject to the Award may not be transferred by the Holder other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved by the Company. Except to the extent permitted by the foregoing, prior to the settlement of the Award, the shares of Stock subject to the Award may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
3.2
Adjustment
. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of Stock other than a regular cash dividend, the number and class of securities subject to the Award shall
be appropriately adjusted by the Committee. The decision of the Committee regarding any such adjustment shall be final, binding and conclusive.
3.3
Compliance with Applicable Law
. The Award is subject to the condition that if the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to the Units upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the delivery of shares hereunder, the shares of Stock subject to the Units shall not be delivered, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to effect or obtain any such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval. Further, Holder agrees that to the extent issuance of shares in the Holder’s jurisdiction is impossible, illegal, unauthorized, or in the Company’s discretion is imprudent or is otherwise impracticable for any reason, that the Company may, in its discretion, either deem the Award to be a cash award of equivalent cash value or may direct the sale of all shares subject to the Award and settle the Award in cash locally with the Holder.

Waiver
. The failure of any party hereto at any time to require performance by another party of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the right of such party to require performance of that provision, and any waiver by any party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right under this Agreement.

The Agreement and the Plan shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement or the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Company without the consent of the Holder).

pursuant to the
OWENS CORNING
2013 STOCK PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
OWENS CORNING, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to
[Participant Name]
(the “Holder”), as of
[Grant Date]
( the “Grant Date”), pursuant to the provisions of the Owens Corning 2013 Stock Plan (the “Plan”),
[Number of Shares Granted]
restricted stock units (the “Units”) relating to shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.01 par value (“Stock”), upon and subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth below (the “Award”). Each Unit shall provide for the issuance and transfer to the Holder of one share of Stock upon the lapse of the restrictions set forth in Section 1 hereof. Upon issuance and transfer of the shares of Stock subject to the Units following the lapse of the Restriction Period, the Holder shall have all rights incident to ownership of such shares, including but not limited to voting rights and the right to receive dividends. References to employment by the Company shall also mean employment by a Subsidiary. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan.
1.
Restriction Period and Vesting
.
(a)
The Units shall vest and the restrictions shall lapse as follows: (i) 25% of the Units shall vest and restrictions shall lapse on each anniversary of the grant date (the “Vesting Dates”) until the award is fully vested, or (ii) earlier pursuant to this Agreement or in accordance with Section 6.8 of the Plan (the “Restriction Period”). As used herein, the term “vest” shall mean no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.
(b)
If, prior to the end of the Restriction Period, the Holder’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of death or Disability, the Units that are then unvested shall vest in full, and restrictions shall lapse, as of the date of such termination.
(c)
If, prior to the end of the Restriction Period, the Holder’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than death or Disability, the Units that are then unvested as of the effective date of the Holder’s termination of employment shall be forfeited by the Holder and such portion shall be cancelled by the Company.
(d)
In the event of a Change in Control, as defined in the Plan, the Units shall immediately vest in full and the restrictions shall lapse as provided in Section 6.8 of the Plan; provided, however, that in the event that (i) the Units constitute the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and (ii) the Change in Control does not constitute a “change in control event’ within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Units shall not immediately vest upon such Change in Control, but instead shall vest and be payable in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in clause (i) of Section 1(a) hereof, or earlier pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof.
2.
Rights as a Stockholder
.
During the Restricted Period, the Holder will be credited with additional Units to reflect dividends payable with respect to the shares of Stock represented by the Units, with the increase in the number of Units equal to the number of shares of Stock that could be purchased with the dividends based on the value of the Stock at the time such dividends are paid; provided, however, that in lieu of crediting a Unit with respect to a fraction of a share, the Company will be entitled to pay to the Holder an amount equal to the fair market value of such fractional share. Units credited pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 1 hereof and shall be paid to the Holder in the time and manner as provided under this Agreement. No dividends will be credited with respect to record dates occurring prior the Grant Date, or with respect to record dates occurring after the Holder forfeits the Units. The Holder shall not be a shareholder of record with respect to the shares of Stock underlying the Units and shall have no voting rights with respect to such shares during the Restricted Period.
3.
Withholding Taxes
.
(a)
As a condition precedent to the delivery to the Holder of any shares of Stock upon the lapse of the Restriction Period, the Holder agrees that, upon request by the Company, the Holder shall pay to the Company such amount of cash as may be required, under all applicable federal, state, local or other laws or regulations, to withhold and pay over as income or other withholding taxes (the “Required Tax Payments”) with respect to such Unit. If the Holder shall fail to advance the Required Tax Payments after request by the Company, the Holder agrees that the Company may, in its discretion, deduct any Required Tax Payments from any amount then or thereafter payable by the Company to the Holder. The Holder, other than a Holder subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and rules thereunder, also agrees that the Company may direct the sale of the number shares subject to the award sufficient to satisfy Required Tax Payments as the Company may deem necessary and subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan.

Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 3(a) and (b) of this Agreement, in the absence of any direction by the Company of permitted election by the Holder, the default method of satisfying the Required Tax Payments shall be through share withholding. No certificate representing a share of Stock shall be delivered to the Holder until the Required Tax Payments have been satisfied in full.

4.2
Agreement Not To Compete and Not To Solicit
(a)
In exchange for the consideration provided by the Company in this Agreement, Holder agrees that, during the Covenant Period, Holder shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company: i) become directly or indirectly engaged or involved, as an owner, principal, employee, officer, director, manager, independent contractor, consultant, representative, seller, distributor, agent, advisor, lender or in any other capacity, with or for any Competitor of the Company or any Subsidiary; ii)
participate in the research or development, manufacture, and/or any business, fabrication, marketing, sale or distribution of any products or services that are competitive with or similar to any products or services then being developed, manufactured, fabricated, marketed, sold or distributed by the Company or any Subsidiary; iii)
directly or indirectly, on behalf of Holder or any other person or entity
,
offer, market, sell or distribute, or participate in offering, marketing, selling or distributing any products or services that are competitive with or similar to any products or services then offered , marketed, sold or distributed by the Company or any Subsidiary to any customer of the Company or any Subsidiary, or to Holder’s knowledge, potential customer of the Company or any Subsidiary; or iv)
directly or indirectly engage, or attempt to engage, on behalf of any Competitor of the Company or any Subsidiary, any employee, independent contractor, consultant, sales representative, vendor, supplier, distributor, independent contractor, agent or other business relationship of the Company or any Subsidiary, or engage in any other action that would reasonably be expected to terminate or negatively impact any such business relationship of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that Holder’s direct or indirect ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding capital stock of a company whose capital stock is listed on a national securities exchange or regularly traded in an over-the-counter market, shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or of this Agreement to the contrary, any violation of this section by Holder shall result in the immediate forfeiture and cancellation of the portion of the Award which is not vested as of such date.
(b)
If any covenant or other term in this Agreement (including without limitation any covenant in Section 4.2 hereof) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be wholly or partially unenforceable , Holder agrees that: i) this Agreement or any portion hereof may be reformed so that such covenant or other term is enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law; ii) such determination shall not be a bar to or in any way diminish the Company’s right to enforce any such covenant or other term in any other jurisdiction; and iii) the unaffected provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired and shall remain in full force and effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any covenant in this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time
or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable, or to the maximum extend in all other respect as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court.
(c)
Holder agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 4.2 by Holder and that, in addition to all other remedies which may be available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach. Holder further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy.

(e)
As used herein, i) the term “Competitor” means any person, or entity that A) is engaged in, or that has plans to become engaged in the research, development, manufacture, fabrication, marketing, sale or distribution of products or services that are the same as, or serve a substantially similar purpose or function as any products or services that were researched, developed, manufactured, fabricated, marketed, sold, or distributed by any business unit of the Company or any Subsidiary for which Holder performed any work or services at any time during the last twenty-four (24) months during which Holder was employed by Company or any Subsidiary and B) directly or indirectly conducts any business operations anywhere within North America or anywhere else in the world where Holder has engaged in business activities on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary: and ii) the term “Covenant Period” means the period ending on the second anniversary of the date Holder’s termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, regardless of the circumstances relating to such termination of employment (e.g., resignation, retirement, disability, termination by the Company for cause, or termination by the Company without cause).
4.3
Nontransferability of Units
. During the Restriction Period, the Units subject to the Award and not then vested may not be transferred by the Holder other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved by the Company. Except to the extent permitted by the foregoing, during the Restriction Period, the shares of Stock subject to the Award and not then vested may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or encumber, or otherwise dispose of such Units, the Award shall immediately become null and void.

Adjustment
. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of Stock other than a regular cash dividend, the number and class of securities subject to the Units shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee. If any adjustment would result in a fractional security being subject to the Units, the Company shall pay the Holder in connection with the vesting, if any, of such fractional security an amount in cash determined by multiplying such fraction (rounded to the nearest hundredth) by the Fair Market Value on the Vesting Date. The decision of the Committee regarding any such adjustment shall be final, binding and conclusive.
4.5
Compliance with Applicable Law
. The Award is subject to the condition that if the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to the Units upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the vesting or delivery of shares hereunder, the shares of Stock subject to the Units shall not vest or be delivered, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company.

Further, Holder agrees that to the extent issuance of shares in the Holder’s jurisdiction is impossible, illegal, unauthorized, or in the Company’s discretion is imprudent or is otherwise impracticable for any reason, that the Company may, in its discretion, either deem the Award to be a cash award of equivalent cash value or may direct the sale of all shares subject to the Award and settle the Award in cash locally with the Holder.
4.6
Delivery of Certificates
. Subject to the foregoing paragraph, promptly following the vesting of the Units, in whole or in part, but in any event not more than two and one-half months thereafter, the Company, subject to the withholding provisions of Section 3, shall deliver or cause to be delivered one or more certificates representing the number of shares of
Stock represented by the vested Units. The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to such delivery, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.
4.7
Award Confers No Rights to Continued Employment
. The granting of the Units does not entitle the Holder to any award other than that specifically granted under the Plan, nor to any future award under the Plan or any similar plan. The Award does not become part of the contract of employment or any other employment relationship with the Holder’s employer, and the Award is not a guarantee of continued employment. Moreover, the Award or any future awards do not become a term or condition of employment. The Holder understands and accepts that the Units granted under the Plan are entirely at the discretion of the Company and that the Company retains the right to amend or terminate the Plan and/or the Holder's participation therein, at any time, at the Company’s sole discretion and without notice. The benefits and rights provided under the Plan are not, and should not be considered part of the Holder’s salary or compensation for purposes of any other calculation, including calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy or other end of service payments, vacation, bonuses, long-term service awards, indemnification, pension or retirement benefits, or any other payments, benefits or rights of any kind, except as required by applicable law. The Holder hereby waives any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the termination of employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever insofar as those rights result or may result from: (a) the loss or diminution in value of any rights under the Plan; or (b) the Holder ceasing to have any rights under, or ceasing to be entitled to any rights under, the Plan as a result of such termination.

If the Holder shall fail to advance the Required Tax Payments after request by the Company, the Holder agrees that the Company may, in its discretion, deduct any Required Tax Payments from any amount then or thereafter payable by the Company to the Holder.

directly or indirectly, on behalf of Holder or any other person or entity

capital stock is listed on a national securities exchange or regularly traded in an over-the-counter market, shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or of this Agreement to the contrary, any violation of this section by Holder shall result in the immediate forfeiture and cancellation of the portion of the Award which is not vested as of such date.
(b) If any covenant or other term in this Agreement (including without limitation any covenant in Section 4.2 hereof) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be wholly or partially unenforceable , Holder agrees that: i) this Agreement or any portion hereof may be reformed so that such covenant or other term is enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law; ii) such determination shall not be a bar to or in any way diminish the Company’s right to enforce any such covenant or other term in any other jurisdiction; and iii) the unaffected provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired and shall remain in full force and effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any covenant in this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable, or to the maximum extend in all other respect as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court..
(c) Holder agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 4.2 by Holder and that, in addition to all other remedies which may be available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach. Holder further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy.

(e) As used herein, i) the term “Competitor” means any person, or entity that A) is engaged in, or that has plans to become engaged in the research, development, manufacture, fabrication, marketing, sale or distribution of products or services that are the same as, or serve a substantially similar purpose or function as any products or services that were researched, developed, manufactured, fabricated, marketed, sold, or distributed by any business unit of the Company or any Subsidiary for which Holder performed any work or services at any time during the last twenty-four (24) months during which Holder was employed by Company or any Subsidiary and B) directly or indirectly conducts any business operations anywhere within North America or anywhere else in the world where Holder has engaged in business activities on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary: and ii) the term “Covenant Period” means the period ending on the second anniversary of the date Holder’s termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, regardless of the circumstances relating to such termination of employment (e.g., resignation, retirement, disability, termination by the Company for cause, or termination by the Company without cause).
6.3.
Nontransferability of Units
. Prior to the Determination Date, the Units subject to the Award and not then vested may not be transferred by the Holder other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved by the Company.

Upon any attempt to sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or encumber, or otherwise dispose of such Units, the Award shall immediately become null and void.
6.4.
Adjustment

The decision of the Committee regarding any such adjustment shall be final, binding and conclusive.
6.5.
Compliance with Applicable Law
. The Award is subject to the condition that if the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to the Award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the vesting or delivery of shares hereunder, the Units subject to the Award shall not vest or be delivered, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Company. The Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to effect or obtain any such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval.

6.6.
Delivery of Certificates

The Holder hereby waives any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the termination of employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever insofar as those rights result or may result from: (a) the loss or diminution in value of any rights under the Plan; or (b) the Holder ceasing to have any rights under, or ceasing to be entitled to any rights under the Plan as a result of such termination.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time it is determined by counsel to the Company that the issuance and delivery of shares of Stock pursuant to this Agreement to a Holder in such jurisdiction would for any reason be unenforceable or prohibited as a matter of law or would result in material adverse consequences for the
Company or the Holder, then the portion of the Award that would have been settled in shares of Stock shall instead be settled in cash in an amount equal to the value of the shares of Stock that would have been delivered under the Award.

If the Holder shall fail to advance the Required Tax Payments after request by the Company, the Holder agrees that the Company may, in its discretion, deduct any Required Tax Payments from any amount then or thereafter payable by the Company to the Holder. The Holder, other than a Holder subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and rules thereunder, also agrees that the Company may direct the sale of the number shares subject to the award sufficient to satisfy Required Tax Payments as the Company may deem necessary and subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan.

Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 4(a) and (b) of this Agreement, in the absence of any direction by the Company of permitted election by the Holder, the default method of satisfying the Required Tax Payments shall be through share withholding. No certificate representing a share of Stock shall be delivered to the Holder until the Required Tax Payments have been satisfied in full.
5.
Additional Terms and Conditions of Award
.
5.1
Award Subject to Acceptance of Agreement
. The Award shall be null and void unless the Holder shall accept this Agreement by executing it in an enforceable manner, including through an electronic acceptance, in such form as is determined to be acceptable within the discretion of the Committee.
5.2
Agreement Not To Compete and Not To Solicit
.
(a) In exchange for the consideration provided by the Company in this Agreement, Holder agrees that, during the Covenant Period, Holder shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company: i) become directly or indirectly engaged or involved, as an owner, principal, employee, officer, director, manager, independent contractor, consultant, representative, seller, distributor, agent, advisor, , lender or in any other capacity, with or for any Competitor of the Company or any Subsidiary; ii)
participate in the research or development, manufacture, and/or any business, fabrication, marketing, sale or distribution of any products or services that are competitive with or similar to any products or services then being developed, manufactured, fabricated, marketed, sold or distributed by the Company or any Subsidiary; iii)
directly or indirectly, on behalf of Holder or any other person or entity
,
offer, market, sell or distribute, or participate in offering, marketing, selling or distributing any products or services that are competitive with or similar to any products or services then offered , marketed, sold or distributed by the Company or any Subsidiary to any customer of the Company or any Subsidiary, or to Holder’s knowledge, potential customer of the Company or any Subsidiary; or iv)
directly or indirectly engage, or attempt to engage, on behalf of any Competitor of the Company or any Subsidiary, any employee, independent contractor, consultant, sales representative, vendor, supplier, distributor, independent contractor, agent or other business relationship of the Company or any Subsidiary, or engage in any other action that would reasonably be expected to terminate or negatively impact any such business relationship of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that Holder’s direct or indirect ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding capital stock of a company whose capital stock is listed on a national securities exchange or regularly traded in an over-the-counter market, shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or of this Agreement to the contrary, any violation of this section by Holder shall result in the immediate forfeiture and cancellation of the portion of the Award which is not vested as of such date.
(b) If any covenant or other term in this Agreement (including without limitation any covenant in Section 4.2 hereof) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be wholly or partially unenforceable , Holder agrees that: i) this Agreement or any portion hereof may be reformed so that such covenant or other term is enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law; ii) such determination shall not be a bar to or in any way diminish the Company’s right to enforce any such covenant or other term in any other jurisdiction; and iii) the unaffected provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired and shall remain in full force and effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any covenant in this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a
geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable, or to the maximum extend in all other respect as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court..
(c) Holder agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 4.2 by Holder and that, in addition to all other remedies which may be available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach. Holder further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy.
(d) Holder agrees and acknowledges that (i) the services rendered by Holder to the Company are special and of great value to the Company, (ii) the market for the Company’s products and services is worldwide and the Company regularly transacts business on a worldwide basis, (iii) the covenants contained in this Section 4.2 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company’s legitimate business interests, (iv) the grant of the Award to Holder is good and sufficient consideration for such covenants, and (v) Holder’s compliance with such covenants will not preclude or unreasonably restrict Holder from engaging in other activities for the purpose of earning a livelihood.
(e) As used herein, i) the term “Competitor” means any person, or entity that A) is engaged in, or that has plans to become engaged in the research, development, manufacture, fabrication, marketing, sale or distribution of products or services that are the same as, or serve a substantially similar purpose or function as any products or services that were researched, developed, manufactured, fabricated, marketed, sold, or distributed by any business unit of the Company or any Subsidiary for which Holder performed any work or services at any time during the last twenty-four (24) months during which Holder was employed by Company or any Subsidiary and B) directly or indirectly conducts any business operations anywhere within North America or anywhere else in the world where Holder has engaged in business activities on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary: and ii) the term “Covenant Period” means the period ending on the second anniversary of the date Holder’s termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, regardless of the circumstances relating to such termination of employment (e.g., resignation, retirement, disability, termination by the Company for cause, or termination by the Company without cause).
5.3
Nontransferability of Award
. During the Restriction Period, the shares of Stock subject to the Award and not then vested may not be transferred by the Holder other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved by the Company. Except to the extent permitted by the foregoing, during the Restriction Period, the shares of Stock subject to the Award and not then vested may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or encumber, or otherwise dispose of such shares, the Award shall immediately become null and void.
5.4
Adjustment
. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of Stock other than a regular cash dividend, the number and class of securities subject to the Award shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee. If any adjustment would result in a fractional security being subject to the Award, the Company shall pay the Holder in connection with the vesting, if any, of such fractional security an amount in cash determined by multiplying such fraction (rounded to the nearest hundredth) by the Fair Market Value on the Vesting Date. The decision of the Committee regarding any such adjustment shall be final, binding and conclusive.
5.5
Compliance with Applicable Law
. The Award is subject to the condition that if the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to the Award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the vesting or delivery of shares hereunder, the shares of Stock subject to the Award shall not vest or be delivered, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to effect or obtain any such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval. Further, Holder agrees that to the extent issuance of shares in the Holder’s jurisdiction is impossible, illegal, unauthorized, or in the Company’s discretion is imprudent or is otherwise impracticable for any reason, that the Company may, in its discretion, either deem the Award to be a cash award of equivalent cash value or may direct the sale of all shares subject to the Award and settle the Award in cash locally with the Holder.
5.6
Delivery of Certificates
. Subject to Section 4, upon the vesting of the Award, in whole or in part, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered one or more certificates representing the number of vested shares. The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to such delivery, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.
