claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such Company Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (taken together with the Pricing Disclosure Package), or (ii) arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of the Basic Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter is the Underwriter Information; and will reimburse the Company or Company Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. The Company acknowledges that the following statements (the “Underwriter Information”) constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus: the marketing names of the Underwriters set forth on the cover page of the Pricing Prospectus; the legal names of the Underwriters; and the statements in the second, third, eighth, twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth paragraphs, all of which are under the heading “Underwriting” contained in the Pricing Prospectus.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such

subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. To the extent that an indemnifying party does not assume the defense of any such action, it is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any one action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all indemnified parties (except to the extent that local counsel (in addition to any regular counsel) is required to effectively defend against any such action or proceeding); provided that the fees and expenses of such separate firm of attorneys and any local counsel shall be reasonably incurred. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as determined pursuant to this Agreement, bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Shares as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the

Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the several Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Shares exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each Underwriter Indemnified Party; and the obligations of each Underwriter under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each Company Indemnified Party.

9. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Shares agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Shares set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Shares set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Shares set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Shares, and if such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Shares, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Time of Delivery shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five business days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

10. This Agreement shall be subject to termination by the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Shares, upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange or the Exchange; (ii) a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Company’s securities on the Exchange; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; (iv) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war; or (v) the occurrence of any other calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (iv) or (v) in your judgment makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Shares being delivered at the Time of Delivery or any settlement date, as applicable, on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

11. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any Underwriter Indemnified Party, or the Company or any Company Indemnified Party and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.

12. If the sale of the Shares provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 7 is not satisfied, or if this Agreement is terminated by the Representatives in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 or Section 10(ii) hereof or if any Shares are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse each Underwriter (but in the case of any termination in accordance with Section 9, only the non-defaulting Underwriters) for all out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares not so delivered, but in such event the Company shall not be under any further liability to such Underwriter except as provided in Section 8 hereof.

13. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, each Underwriter is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies its clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of its clients, as well as other information that will allow such Underwriter to properly identify its clients.

14. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile transmission to the Representatives c/o Citigroup Global Markets Inc. at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: General Counsel, fax no.

17. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Company agrees that it will not claim that any Underwriter has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

18. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the several Underwriters with respect to the subject matter hereof.

19. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

20. The Company and each Underwriter hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

21. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us one for the Company and the Representatives plus one for each counsel, and upon the acceptance hereof by you this letter and such acceptance hereof shall constitute a binding agreement among the several Underwriters and the Company.

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Re:

Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. — Public Offering

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you, as Representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), providing for a public offering (the “Public Offering”) of shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Stock”), of the Company, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

In consideration of the agreement by the Underwriters to offer and sell the Shares, and of other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that, subject to the other provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement, during the period specified in the following paragraph (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, without having received a prior written waiver from Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Securities, LLC, (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of Stock of the Company, or any options or warrants to purchase shares of Stock, shares acquired upon the vesting of restricted stock units or settlement of deferred stock units or any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Stock (collectively the “Undersigned’s Shares”), the foregoing restriction being expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably would be

Annex II-1

expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Undersigned’s Shares even if such Shares would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned, or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Undersigned’s Shares.

The Lock-Up Period will commence on the date of the preliminary prospectus supplement in connection with the Public Offering of Shares and continue for 60 days after the Public Offering date set forth on the final prospectus pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Undersigned’s Shares without having received a written waiver from Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Securities, LLC, provided that (1) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value (other than those described below in (i), (ii), (v), (vii), (ix) and (x)), (2) such transfers (other than those described below in (i), (vii), (ix) and (x)) are not required to be reported with the SEC on Form 4 in accordance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and (3) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers:

(i) as sales to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement; or

(ii) any transfer pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Stock involving a change of control of the Company; or

(iii) as a bona fide gift or gifts; or

(iv) transfers by will or intestacy or by operation of law pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement; or

(v) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage, domestic partnership or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); or

(vi) to the undersigned’s partners, members or shareholders, subsidiaries, affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by, or under common control or management with, the undersigned; or

(vii) dispositions or forfeiture of shares of Stock of the undersigned or the retention of shares of Stock by the Company (A) to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the exercise of options to purchase Stock, the vesting of restricted stock units or performance shares or the settlement of deferred stock units or (B) in payment of the exercise or purchase price with respect to the exercise of options to purchase Stock, the vesting of restricted stock units or performance shares or the settlement of deferred stock units; or

Annex II-2

(viii) transfers of shares of Stock by the undersigned in connection with bona fide gifts of such shares of Stock to charitable organizations by certain partners and employees of the undersigned, its affiliates or any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by, or under common control or management with, the undersigned; or

(ix) transfers, including sales, of shares of Stock by the undersigned pursuant to any trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act that has been entered into by the undersigned prior to the date of this Lock-Up Agreement; or

(x) transfers of shares of Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering;

provided, however, that (I) in the case of clauses (iii)-(vi) and (viii), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Securities, LLC shall have received a signed lock-up agreement for the balance of the Lock-Up Period from each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be, prior to such transfer and (II) in the case of clause (ix), if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of common stock, the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that such transfer is pursuant to an existing Rule 10b5-1 plan; and provided further that nothing in this Lock-Up Agreement shall prevent the (x) establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Stock, provided that such plan (a) does not provide for the transfer of Stock during the Lock-Up Period and (b) is not required to be reported and is not voluntarily reported in any public report or filing with the SEC during the Lock-Up Period, (y) acquisition of shares of Stock, restricted or otherwise, options or warrants to purchase shares of Stock, restricted stock units and performance shares of the Company or (z) exercise of any option or warrant to purchase shares of Stock or the vesting of any restricted stock unit or performance shares of the Company in accordance with their terms. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Undersigned’s Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

The undersigned understands that, if the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective, or if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Shares to be sold thereunder, the undersigned shall automatically be released from all obligations under this Lock-Up Agreement. This Lock-Up Agreement shall lapse and become null and void if the closing of the Public Offering shall not have occurred on or before October 31, 2017.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this Lock-Up Agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
