RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
For [Executive]
For [Executive]
This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (“Agreement”) is executed and made effective as of [Date]
(“Grant Date”) by and between Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (“Company”) and [Executive]
(“Executive”). Any capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given such
term in the Consolidated Graphics, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (“Plan”).
1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Pursuant to the Plan, Executive is hereby awarded
restricted stock units covering [number of] shares of Common Stock (“RS Units”). On any day, the
value of an RS Unit shall equal the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock of the Company.
All of the RS Units shall be subject to the prohibition on the transfer of the RS Units and the
obligations to forfeit the RS Units to the Company (“Forfeiture Obligations”), as set forth in
Section 4 of this Agreement. The number of any then-outstanding RS Units shall be adjusted
pro-rata for any stock dividend, split or reverse-split enacted by the Company subsequent to the
Grant Date.
2. Effect of the Plan. The RS Units awarded to Executive are subject to all of the terms and
conditions of the Plan, which terms and conditions are incorporated herein for all purposes, and of
this Agreement, together with all rules and determinations from time to time issued by the Board of
Directors of the Company (“Board”) and/or the Compensation Committee of the Board (“Committee”)
pursuant to the Plan which are either (i) mandated by law or applicable statute, (ii) not adverse
to Executive (by reference to the applicable provisions as of the Grant Date) or (iii) consented to
by Executive.
3. Vesting of RS Units. Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (c) of Section 4 below, the
RS Units shall be deemed to vest ratably in equal increments on each [Calendar day] date following
the Grant Date through [Date].
4. Restrictions. Executive hereby accepts the award of the RS Units and agrees with respect
thereto as follows:
(a) No Transfer. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the RS Units shall not
be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred except by will
or the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted assignment of an RS Unit in
violation of this Agreement shall be null and void. The Company shall not be required to
honor the transfer of any RS Units that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation
of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan.
(b) Forfeiture Obligations. [Except as otherwise provided in Executive’s employment
agreement dated [Date] (the “Employment Agreement” or Executive’s change in control
agreement dated [Date], (the “Change in Control Agreement” and together with the Employment
Agreement, the “Executive Agreements”)], if Executive’s employment with the Company
terminates before all RS Units have vested, Executive (or Executive’s estate, as applicable)
shall, for no consideration, forfeit to the Company all RS Units that have not vested as of
the date of such termination.
(c) Lapse of Forfeiture Obligations/Vesting. [Except as otherwise provided in the
Executive Agreements], if Executive provides continuous service to the Company until
[calendar day] of the calendar year immediately preceding the [first, et al.] anniversary of
the Grant Date, the Forfeiture Obligations will lapse with respect to, and Executive shall
be deemed to be vested in, [cumulative % by vesting period], respectively, of the RS Units.
In each case, the number of RS Units with respect to which the Forfeiture Obligations will
lapse and be deemed to be vested as a result will, as necessary, be rounded up to the next
whole RS Unit.
(d) No Rights of a Stockholder. Other than the rights provided in this Agreement,
Executive shall not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company until such RS Units have
vested and the related shares of Common Stock of the Company have been issued pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Issuance of Common Stock. The Company will issue to Executive the shares of Common
Stock underlying the vested RS Units on the date determined pursuant to the provisions of
Section [9] below. Evidence of the issuance of the Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement
may be accomplished in such manner as the Company or its authorized representatives shall
deem appropriate, including without limitation electronic registration, book-entry
registration or issuance of a certificate or certificates in the name of Executive or in the
name of such other party or parties as the Company and its authorized representatives shall
deem appropriate. If the Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement [(including the
Executive Agreements)] remains subject to any additional restrictions, the Company and its
authorized representatives shall be entitled to take such actions as reasonably necessary to
ensure that Executive is prohibited from entering into any transaction which would violate
any such restrictions, until such restrictions lapse.
5. Community Interest of Spouse. The community interest, if any, of any spouse of Executive
in any of the RS Units shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions of this
Agreement and the Plan, and shall be forfeited and surrendered to the Company upon the occurrence
of any of the events requiring Executive’s interest in such RS Units to be so forfeited and
surrendered pursuant to this Agreement.
6. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any
successors to the Company and all persons lawfully claiming under Executive.
7. [Executive Agreements. Notwithstanding any language in this Agreement to the contrary, to
the extent of any conflict between this Agreement and the Executive Agreements,
the terms of the Executive Agreements shall control (except with respect to the provisions of
Section 9 below which shall control).]

8. Required Withholding. The Executive acknowledges that the lapse of forfeiture
obligations/vesting of the RS Units as set forth in paragraph (c) of Section 4 and the issuance of
Common Stock by the Company pursuant to paragraph (e) of Section 4 above (either or both being a
“Withholding Event”) shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable federal, state and
local income and employment tax withholding requirements (“Required Withholding”). By execution of
this Agreement, Executive shall be deemed to have authorized the Company to withhold from the
Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement [(and including the Executive Agreements)], the
shares of Common Stock necessary to satisfy Executive’s Required Withholding, if any. The amount
of the Required Withholding and the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy
Executive’s Required Withholding, if any, as well as the amount reflected on tax reports filed by
the Company, shall be based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the day that a Withholding
Event occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall give notice to the Executive of the
amount of Required Withholding in connection with each Withholding Event and Executive shall have
the option to satisfy Executive’s Required Withholding by making payment of cash to the Company
within five (5) business days of receiving such notice. The obligations of the Company under this
Agreement shall be conditioned on such satisfaction of the Required Withholding by Executive.
9. Date of Issuance of Common Stock. The Company will issue to Executive the shares of Common
Stock underlying the vested RS Units on the date elected by Executive on the Election Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit A or, if no such Election Agreement is attached hereto, on the earliest
of the following dates: (i) the Executive’s [separation from service with the Company]
[“Termination Date,” as such term is currently defined in the Employment Agreement (excluding,
however, clause
_____
from such definition);] [(ii) a “Change in Control,” as such term is currently
defined in the Change in Control Agreement (excluding, however, clauses
_____
and
_____
from such
definition);] or (iii) the [calendar date] (or if [calendar date] shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday
or federal holiday, the first business day thereafter) next following the end of the calendar year
in which the Forfeiture Obligations lapse pursuant to paragraph (c) of Section 4 [(or otherwise are
vested pursuant to the terms of the Executive Agreements)]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 409A(a)(B)(i)) any
issuance of the Common Stock on account of a separation from service with the Company (other than
death) shall be delayed until the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Executive’s
separation from service or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death during such six (6)-month
period.
10. Tax Consequences. Executive acknowledges that the tax consequences associated with the
award of RS Units and the issuance of Common Stock by the Company to the Executive pursuant to this
Agreement are complex and that the Company has urged Executive to review the federal, state and
local tax consequences thereof with Executive’s own tax advisors. Executive is relying solely on
such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.
Executive understands that Executive (and not the Company) is responsible for Executive’s tax
liability arising as a result of this Agreement [(including the Executive Agreements, as
applicable] and including any such liability arising under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code).
