CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS, INC.




INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT




Optionee:                     




1. Grant of Stock Option. As of the Grant Date (identified in Section 21
below), Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants an Incentive Stock Option (the
“Option”) to the Optionee (identified above), an Employee of the Company, to purchase the number of
shares of the Company’s common stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), identified in
Section 21 below (the “Shares”), subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement (the
“Agreement”) and the Consolidated Graphics, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).
The Plan is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. The Shares, when issued to
Optionee upon the exercise of the Option, shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Option is
intended to be an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.



2. Definitions. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth
in the Plan unless otherwise provided herein. Section 21 sets forth meanings for certain of
the capitalized terms used in this Agreement.



3. Option Term. The Option shall commence on the Grant Date (identified in
Section 21 below) and terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date as
specified in Section 21. The period during which the Option is in effect and may be
exercised is referred to herein as the “Option Period”.



4. Option Price. The Option Price per Share is identified in Section 21.



5. Vesting. The total number of Shares subject to this Option shall vest in
accordance with the Vesting Schedule (described in Section 21). The Shares may be
purchased at any time after they become vested, in whole or in part, during the Option Period;
provided, however, the Option may only be exercisable to acquire whole Shares. The right of
exercise provided herein shall be cumulative so that if the Option is not exercised to the maximum
extent permissible after vesting, the vested portion of the Option shall be exercisable, in whole
or in part, at any time during the Option Period.



6. Method of Exercise. The Option is exercisable by delivery of a written notice to
the Secretary of the Company, signed by the Optionee, specifying the number of Shares to be
acquired on, and the effective date of, such exercise. The Optionee may withdraw notice of
exercise of this Option, in writing, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day
that immediately precedes the proposed exercise date.


 


 









 





7. Method of Payment. Subject to applicable provisions of the Plan, the Option Price
upon exercise of the Option shall be payable to the Company in full either: (i) in cash or its
equivalent; (ii) subject to prior approval by the Committee in its discretion, by tendering
previously acquired, unrestricted Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined in
the Plan) at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price; (iii) subject to prior approval
by the Committee in its discretion, by withholding Shares which otherwise would be acquired on
exercise having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option
Price; or (iv) any other permitted method pursuant to the applicable terms and conditions of the
Plan and applicable law.



As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment,
the Company shall deliver to or on behalf of the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee or other
appropriate recipient, Share certificates or other evidence of ownership for the number of Shares
purchased under the Option.



8. Restrictions on Exercise. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of such
Shares or the method of payment of the consideration for such Shares would constitute a violation
of any applicable federal or state securities or other laws or regulations, or any rules or
regulations of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed. In addition, Optionee
understands and agrees that the Option cannot be exercised if the Company determines that such
exercise, at the time of such exercise, will be in violation of the Company’s insider trading
policy.



9. Termination of Employment. Voluntary or involuntary termination of the Optionee’s
employment with the Company and all of its subsidiaries (“Employment”) shall affect Optionee’s
rights under the Option as follows:




(a) Other than due to Death. If Optionee’s Employment is terminated for any
reason other than due to his death pursuant to Section 9(b) below, then (i) the
non-vested portion of the Option shall immediately expire on the termination of Employment
date and (ii) the vested portion of the Option shall expire to the extent not exercised
within 90 days from the date of such termination of Employment. In no event may the Option
be exercised after the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Option Period or (ii) 90 days
from the date of such termination even if Optionee becomes deceased during such period.




(b) Death. If Optionee’s Employment is terminated due to his death, then
(i) the non-vested portion of the Option shall immediately expire on the termination of
Employment date and (ii) the vested portion of the Option shall expire on the one (1) year
anniversary date of the termination date (to the extent not previously exercised by
Optionee) or, in the case of death, by the person or persons to whom Optionee’s rights under
the Option have passed by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In no event may
the Option be exercised by anyone on or after the earlier of (i) the expiration of the
Option Period or (ii) one (1) year after the date of termination due to Optionee’s death.



10. Qualification as an Incentive Stock Option. The Optionee understands that the
Option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Code
Section 422. The Optionee must meet certain grant size limitations, holding period, and other
conditions set forth in Code Section 422 to obtain the federal income tax treatment applicable to
the exercise of incentive stock options and the disposition of shares acquired thereby.

The Optionee further understands that the exercise price of Shares subject to the Option has been
set by the Committee at a price that the Committee determined to be not less than 100% (or, if the
Optionee, at the Grant Date, owned more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the
Company’s outstanding voting securities, 110%) of the Fair Market Value, as determined in
accordance with the Plan, of a share of Common Stock on the Grant Date. The Optionee acknowledges
and agrees that the Company shall not be liable or responsible for any additional tax liability
incurred by the Optionee in the event that the Internal Revenue Service for any reason determines
that this Option does not qualify as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of the Code
Section 422.




11. Disqualifying Disposition. In the event that Shares acquired upon exercise of the
Option are disposed of by Optionee in a “Disqualifying Disposition,” Optionee shall notify the
Company in writing within thirty (30) days after such disposition of the date and terms of such
disposition. For purposes hereof, “Disqualifying Disposition” means a disposition of Shares that
are acquired upon the exercise of the Option prior to the expiration of either two (2) years from
the Grant Date or one (1) year from the transfer date of Shares to Optionee pursuant to the
exercise of the Option.



12. Independent Legal and Tax Advice. Optionee acknowledges that the Company has
advised Optionee to obtain independent legal and tax advice regarding the grant and exercise of the
Option and the disposition of any Shares acquired thereby.



13. Reorganization of Company. The existence of the Option shall not affect in any
way the right or power of the Company or its shareholders to make or authorize any or all
adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in Company’s capital structure or
its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures,
preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Shares or the rights thereof, or the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets
or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.



14. Adjustment of Shares. In the event of stock dividends, spin-offs of assets or
other extraordinary dividends, stock splits, combinations of shares, recapitalizations, mergers,
consolidations, reorganizations, liquidations, issuances of rights or warrants and similar
transactions or events involving Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the terms and
provisions of the Option as provided in the Plan.



15. No Rights in Shares. Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder in respect of
the Shares until the Optionee becomes the record holder of such Shares.



16. Investment Representation. Optionee will enter into such written representations,
warranties and agreements as Company may reasonably request in order to comply with any federal or
state securities law. Moreover, any stock certificate for any Shares issued to Optionee hereunder
may contain a legend restricting their transferability as determined by the Company in its
discretion. Optionee agrees that Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in
order to cause the issuance or transfer of Shares hereunder to comply with any law, rule or
regulation that applies to the Shares subject to the Option.

17. No Guarantee of Employment. The Option shall not confer upon Optionee any right
to any continued Employment or other relationship with the Company or any affiliate thereof.



18. Optionee Confidentiality Obligations. In accepting the Option, Optionee
acknowledges that Optionee is obligated under Company’s policy and applicable law to protect and
safeguard the confidentiality of trade secrets and other proprietary and confidential information
belonging to the Company and its affiliates, and that such obligations continue beyond the
termination of Employment.



19. Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall have the right to (a) make deductions
from the number of Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the Option in an amount sufficient
to satisfy withholding of any federal, state or local taxes that is required by law, or (b) take
such other action as may be necessary or appropriate to satisfy any such tax withholding
obligations.



20. General.




(a) Notices. All notices under this Agreement shall be mailed or delivered by
hand to the parties at their respective addresses set forth beneath their signatures below
or at such other address as may be designated in writing by either of the parties to one
another, or to their permitted transferees if applicable. Notices shall be effective upon
receipt.




(b) Shares Reserved. The Company shall at all times during the Option Period
reserve and keep available under the Plan such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to
satisfy the requirements of this Option.




(c) Transferability of Option. The Option is transferable only to the extent
permitted under the Plan at the time of transfer (i) by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, or (ii) by a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in Section 414(p)
of the Internal Revenue Code). No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable
for or subject to any debts, contracts, liabilities, obligations or torts of Optionee or any
permitted transferee thereof.




(d) Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification or termination of
this Agreement shall be made at any time without the written consent of Optionee and
Company.




(e) No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. The Company makes no commitment or
guarantee that any tax treatment will apply or be available to Optionee or any other person.
The Optionee has been advised, and provided with the opportunity, to obtain independent
legal and tax advice regarding the grant and exercise of the Option and the disposition of
any Shares acquired thereby.




(f) Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be
held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be fully
severable, but shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Agreement, and the
Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable
provision had not been included herein.

Appendix A




Definition of “Change in Control”





	1.	 	For purposes of this Stock Option Agreement, a “Change in Control” will be deemed to have
occurred if at any time any of the following events shall occur:







	 	(a)	 	the Company is merged, consolidated, converted or reorganized into or with
another corporation or other legal entity, and as a result of such merger,
consolidation, conversion or reorganization less than a majority of the combined voting
power of the then outstanding securities of the Company or such corporation or other
legal entity immediately after such transaction are held in the aggregate by the
holders of Voting Stock (as hereinafter defined) of the Company immediately prior to
such transaction and/or such voting power is not held by substantially all of such
holders in substantially the same proportions relative to each other;







	 	(b)	 	the Company sells (directly or indirectly) all or substantially all of its
assets (including, without limitation, by means of the sale of the capital stock or
assets of one or more direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company) to any other
corporation or other legal entity, of which less than a majority of the combined voting
power of the then outstanding voting securities (entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors or persons performing similar functions on behalf of such other
corporation or legal entity) of such other corporation or legal entity is held in the
aggregate by the holders of Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such sale
and/or such voting power is not held by substantially all of such holders in
substantially the same proportions relative to each other;







	 	(c)	 	any person (as the term “person” is used in Section 13(d)(3) or
Section 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”) becomes (subsequent to the Grant Date) the beneficial owner (as the term
“beneficial owner” is defined under Rule 13d-3 or any successor rule or regulation
promulgated under the Exchange Act) of securities representing fifty percent (50%) or
more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors of the Company (“Voting Stock”);







	 	(d)	 	the Company files a report or proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act disclosing in response to Form 8-K,
Schedule 14A or Schedule 14C (or any successor schedule, form or report or item
therein) that a change in control of the Company has occurred;





 


 









 











	 	(e)	 	if during any one (1)-year period, individuals who at the beginning of any such
period constitute the directors of the Company cease for any reason to constitute at
least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the nomination for election by the
Company’s shareholders, of each director of the Company first elected during
such period was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of (i) the directors of
the Company then still in office who were directors of the Company at the beginning
of any such period or (ii) directors referenced in clause (i) immediately preceding
plus directors of the Company whose nomination and/or election was approved by the
directors referenced in clause (i) immediately preceding; or







	 	(f)	 	the shareholders of the Company approve a plan contemplating the liquidation or
dissolution of the Company.







Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of subsections (c) or (d) hereof, a “Change in
Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement solely because
(i) the Company, (ii) a corporation or other legal entity in which the Company directly or
indirectly beneficially owns 100% of the voting securities of such entity, or (iii) any
employee stock ownership plan or any other employee benefit plan of the Company or any
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, either files or becomes obligated to file a report
or a proxy statement under or in response to Schedule 13D, Schedule 14D-1, Form 8-K,
Schedule 14A or Schedule 14C (or any successor schedule, form or report or item therein)
under the Exchange Act, disclosing beneficial ownership by it of shares of Voting Stock,
whether in excess of fifty percent (50%) or otherwise, or because the Company reports that a
change in control of the Company has occurred by reason of such beneficial ownership.
