                         AMERICAN REPROGRAPHICS COMPANY

                                 2005 STOCK PLAN

                  FORM OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

      Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant Notice (the "Grant
Notice") and this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (collectively, the
"Award"), American Reprographics Company (the "Company") hereby awards you stock
units under its 2005 Stock Plan (the "Plan") representing the number of shares
of the Company's Common Stock as indicated in the Grant Notice. Defined terms
not explicitly defined in this Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the
same definitions as in the Plan.

      The details of your award are as follows:

      1. VESTING. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your Award will
vest as provided in the Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon the
termination of your Continuous Service. Any unvested portion of your Award will
be forfeited upon termination of your Continuous Service.

      2. NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of shares subject to your Award may be
adjusted from time to time for Capitalization Adjustments, as provided in the
Plan. In addition, your Award will be credited with Dividend Equivalents on
stock units under your Award to the extent of dividends issued on Common Stock,
provided the record date for such dividend is on or after the end of the quarter
in which occurs the Award's grant date. Dividend Equivalent credits shall be
deemed reinvested in additional shares of stock units (or fraction thereof) and
shall be added to the number of stock units subject to your Award. Any such
additional stock units (or fraction thereof) resulting from Dividend Equivalent
credits shall be treated the same as other stock units under your Award and
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Dividend Equivalent" means a credit to your Award,
based on the number of stock units subject to the Award, equivalent to the cash,
stock or other property dividends paid on shares of Common Stock.

      3. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. You may not be issued any shares under your
Award unless the shares are either (i) then registered under the Securities Act
or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. Your Award must also comply
with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you will not
receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in
material compliance with such laws and regulations.

      4. PAYMENT. Payment of your Award shall be made in either cash, or in
shares of Common Stock with any fractional shares to be distributed in cash in
whole shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Board or Committee in its
sole discretion. Payment of each stock unit under your Award will be made upon
vesting of that unit at the following times:

                                        1

            (a) Within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter in which
the stock unit becomes vested, as a lump sum payment.

            (b) Commencing as of January 1 of the calendar year following the
year in which the stock unit becomes vested (or as soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter), in annual installments not exceeding five. If stock
units are paid in shares of Common Stock, the amount of shares paid in each
installment shall be determined by dividing your total remaining stock units by
the remaining number of installments to be paid, such that the divisor shall be
reduced by one in each subsequent year. Fractional shares shall be rounded down
to the nearest whole number, except that in the final year in which an
installment is to be paid, any fractional shares shall be distributed in cash.

      5. RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS OF PARTICIPANT. You will have no rights as a
shareholder with respect to any stock unit unless and until you become the
holder of record of shares of Common Stock following payment of that stock unit
in Common Stock.

      6. TRANSFERABILITY. Your Award is not transferable, except by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your life only
by you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the
Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you may designate a third party
who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to receive any
amounts owed with respect to vested stock units under your Award.

      7. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

            (a) At the time your Award is made, or at any time thereafter as
requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any
other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for
any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax
withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate, if any, which arise in
connection with your Award.

            (b) Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any
Affiliate are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue a
certificate for such shares or release such shares from any escrow provided for
herein.

      8. AGREEMENT NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your Award is not an employment or
service contract, and nothing in your Award shall be deemed to create in any way
whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company
or an Affiliate, or on the part of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your
employment. In addition, nothing in your Award shall obligate the Company or an
Affiliate, their respective shareholders, boards of directors, Officers or
Employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or
