EXHIBIT 10.1
CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS, INC.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
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).
