         Effective as of November 12, 2001, Apogee Enterprises, Inc., a

amended on June 28, 1995, February 22, 1999, December 7, 1999, and July 2, 2001
(as so amended, the "Rights Agreement"). The amended and restated Rights
Agreement was executed on November 12, 2001. Capitalized terms used and not

things, (a) removes all references to "Continuing Directors" throughout the
