Form of Restricted Share Unit Agreement



 Exhibit 10.6 
 Form of 
 Restricted Share Unit Agreement 
 Granted Under The Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Incentive Plan 
  

	1.	Grant of Award. 

 Pursuant
to authority delegated by the Supervisory Board and Management Board of Vistaprint N.V., a Netherlands company (the “Company”), pursuant to Section 3 of the Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), this
Agreement evidences the grant by the Company on                  (the “Grant Date”) to
                             (the “Participant”) of
                 restricted share units (the “Units”) with respect to a total of
                 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Shares”), €0.01 par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”). 
 Except as otherwise indicated by the context, the term “Participant,” as used in this award, is deemed to include any person who
acquires rights under this award validly under its terms. 
  

	2.	Vesting Schedule. 

 (a)
Subject to the terms and conditions of this award, the Units vest in accordance with the following schedule. Vesting amounts pursuant to the following schedule are cumulative: 
  

	 	•	 	 25% of the original number of Units on
                     (the “Vesting Date”), 


  

	 	•	 	 and an additional 6.25% of the original number of Units at the end of each successive three-month period following the Vesting Date until the third
anniversary of the Vesting Date. 


 (b) Continuous Relationship with the Company Required. This vesting
schedule requires that the Participant, at the time any Units vest, is, and has been at all times since the Grant Date, an employee, officer or director of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company and as
defined in Section 424(e) or (f) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”) (an “Eligible Participant”). If the Participant is employed by a
parent or subsidiary of the Company, any references in this Agreement to employment by or with the Company or termination of employment by or with the Company are instead deemed to refer to such parent or subsidiary. 
 (c) Termination of Relationship with the Company. If the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant for any reason, then the
vesting of Units ceases and the Participant has no further rights with respect to any unvested Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant, before this Award becomes vested in full, violates the non-competition or confidentiality
provisions of any employment contract, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company, the vesting of Units ceases and this award terminates immediately
upon such violation. 
  

	3.	Timing and Form of Distribution. 

 The distribution date (the “Distribution Date”) for Units that become vested pursuant to this award will be made in a lump sum on the date that such Units vest. The Company shall distribute vested Units in Ordinary Shares (on
a one-to-one basis) on or as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date with respect to such vested Units. The Participant will only receive distributions in respect of his/her vested Units and has no right to distribution of an Ordinary
Share with respect to unvested Units unless and until such Units vest. Once an Ordinary Share with respect to a vested Unit has been distributed pursuant to this award, the Participant has no further rights with respect to that Unit.









	4.	Dividend Equivalent Rights.

 During such time as each Unit remains outstanding and before the distribution of such Unit in accordance with Section 3, the Participant has the right to receive, in cash, with respect to such Unit, the amount of any cash dividend paid
by the Company on an Ordinary Share (a “Dividend Equivalent Right”). The Participant has a Dividend Equivalent Right with respect to each Unit that is outstanding on the record date of such dividend. The Company shall pay
Dividend Equivalent Rights to the Participant at the same time or within 30 days after dividends are paid to shareholders of the Company. The Company has no obligation to pay Dividend Equivalent Rights to the Participant with respect to any
Units that are forfeited pursuant to Section 2(c), effective as of the date such Units are forfeited. The Participant has no Dividend Equivalent Rights as of the record date of any cash dividend in respect of any Units that have been
distributed in Ordinary Shares. 
  

	5.	Withholding. 

 The
Participant is required to pay in cash any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld (“Withholding Taxes”) with respect to the payment of Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Participant is also required to satisfy
Withholding Taxes with respect to the vesting of Units. In order to satisfy the Withholding Taxes owed with respect to the vesting of Units, the Participant agrees that: 
 (a) Unless the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that the procedure set forth in this Section 5(a) is not advisable, at the Distribution Date, the Company shall withhold a number of
Ordinary Shares with a market value (based on the closing price of the Ordinary Shares on the last trading day prior to the Distribution Date) equal to the amount necessary to satisfy the minimum amount of Withholding Taxes due on such Distribution
Date. 
 (b) If the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that the procedure set forth in Section 5(a) is not
advisable or sufficient, then the Participant, as a condition to receiving any Ordinary Shares upon the vesting of Units, shall either (i) pay to the Company, by cash or check, an amount sufficient to satisfy any Withholding Taxes or otherwise
make arrangements satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion for the payment of such amounts (including through offset of any amounts otherwise payable by the Company to the Participant, including salary or other compensation), or
(ii) if the Company in its sole discretion determines to permit Participants to so elect, execute and deliver to the Company an irrevocable standing order authorizing E-Trade or any broker approved by the Company (the “Broker”) to
sell, at the market price on the applicable Distribution Date, the number of Ordinary Shares that the Company has instructed the Broker is necessary to obtain proceeds sufficient to satisfy the Withholding Taxes applicable to the Ordinary Shares to
be distributed to the Participant on the Distribution Date (based on the closing price of Ordinary Shares on the last trading day prior to the Distribution Date) and to remit such proceeds to the Company. The Participant agrees to execute and
deliver such documents as may be reasonably required in connection with the sale of any Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Section 5(b).

	6.	Nontransferability of Award. 

 The Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber this award, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order,
or to or for the benefit of any immediate family member, family trust, family partnership or family limited liability company established solely for the benefit of the holder and/or an immediate family member of the holder if, with respect to such
proposed transferee, the Company would be eligible to use a Form S-8 for the registration of the issuance and sale of the Ordinary Shares subject to such award under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 
  

	7.	No Right to Employment or Other Status. 

 This award shall not be construed as giving the Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company. The Company and any
parent or subsidiary of the Company expressly reserve the right to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with the Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan or this award, except as expressly provided in this award.

  

	8.	No Rights as Shareholder. 

 Except for the Dividend Equivalent Rights described in Section 4, the Participant has no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Ordinary Shares distributable under this award until becoming recordholder of such shares. 

 

	9.	Provisions of the Plan. 

 This award is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished to the Participant with this award. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed on its behalf by Vistaprint N.V. This Agreement shall take effect as a sealed instrument.
