provided that the Term shall be automatically extended for successive one-year periods thereafter unless, no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Term, or any such successive 1-year renewal period, either Party shall
provide to the other Party written notice of its or his desire not to extend the Term. 
 3. COMPENSATION, BENEFITS AND REIMBURSEMENT

forth in the Ennis, Inc. Employee Reimbursable Expense Policy, effective January 1, 2008, or any thereafter adopted replacement expense reimbursement policies. Any reimbursement that would constitute non-qualified deferred compensation subject

 (i) No reimbursement of any such expense shall
affect Executives right to reimbursement of any other such expense in any other taxable year; 
 (ii) Reimbursement of

which may presently be in effect or which may hereafter be adopted by Company for its executive officers and key management personnel; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Company to adopt or maintain any
particular plan or policy. 
 (f) Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation during each calendar
year during the Term, consistent with policies and amounts then applicable to executive officers. 
 (g)
Holidays. Executive shall further be entitled to paid holidays, personal days, and sick days consistent with the policies then applicable to executive officers. 

4. TERMINATION. 

(a) Termination by Company Without Cause. Company may at any time terminate the Term and Executive’s
employment hereunder without Cause (and other than due to death or Disability). If Company terminates the 

  
 AMENDED AND
RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT/GRAHAM – Page 3 








 
Term and Executive’s employment hereunder pursuant to this Section 4(a) prior to end of the Term, as the same may have been extended or renewed pursuant to Section 2, Company shall
pay Executive all accrued but unpaid Base Salary, and any earned but unpaid Discretionary Bonus for the prior year, if any, (“Accrued Compensation”) as soon as reasonably practicable following such termination. In addition, and subject to
Section 7, Company shall also pay Executive a severance payment (the “Severance Payment”) equal to the greater of the amount of Base Salary through the end of the Term or one (1) times the sum of (i) Executive’s then
annual Base Salary plus (ii) an amount equal to Executive’s Discretionary Bonus for the immediately preceding fiscal year. In addition, in the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 4(a) or Section 4(c) below, any
unvested stock options or other equity-awards granted to Executive under any plan, initiative, or award plan previously or subsequently adopted by Company that are outstanding as of the date of such termination shall become fully vested and
nonforfeitable. However, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4(a), any such stock options granted to Executive that remain unexercised as of the date of their expiration will expire in accordance with the terms of the applicable
plan and the relevant stock option agreement. Subject to Sections 4(j) and 7, the Severance Payment will be paid out in bi-weekly payments over a period of one (1) year in accordance with the ordinary payroll practices and deductions of
Company. 
 (b) Termination by Company for Cause. Company may terminate the Term and Executive’s
employment hereunder at any time for Cause. Upon termination of the Term and Executive’s employment hereunder by Company for Cause, Company shall promptly pay Executive his Accrued Compensation. A termination for Cause may be for one or more of
the following reasons, which shall be defined as “Cause:” 
 (i) Conduct by Executive constituting a material act
of willful misconduct in connection with the performance of his duties, including, without limitation, violations of Company’s policies on sexual harassment, ethics, or any other policies then in effect; misappropriation of funds or property of
Company or any of its affiliates other than the occasional, customary and de minimis use of Company property for personal purposes; or other willful misconduct that is below normal industry standards, as determined in the sole reasonable discretion
of Company; 
 (ii) Continued willful and deliberate non-performance by Executive of his duties hereunder (other than by
reason of Executive’s physical or mental illness, incapacity, or disability) where such non-performance continue for more than ten (10) days following written notice of such non-performance unless ten (10) days notice would be futile
in correcting issues related to non-performance; 

  
 AMENDED AND
RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT/GRAHAM – Page 4 








 (iii) Executive’s refusal or failure to follow lawful directives where such
refusal or failure has continued for more than ten (10) days following a written notice of such refusal or failure unless ten (10) days notice would be futile in correcting issues related to non-performance; 

(iv) A criminal or civil conviction of Executive, a plea of nolo contendere by Executive, or other conduct by Executive that,
as determined in the sole reasonable discretion of the Board, has resulted in, would result in, if Executive were retained in his position with Company, material injury to the reputation of Company, including, without limitation, conviction or
fraud, theft, embezzlement or a crime involving moral turpitude; 
 (v) A material breach by Executive of any of the
provisions of this Agreement; 
 (vi) Ongoing alcohol/drug addition and a failure by Executive to successfully complete a
recovery program; or 
 (vii) Intentional wrongful disclosure of confidential information of Company or engaging in wrongful
competitive activity with Company. 
 (c) Termination by Executive for Good Reasons. Executive may terminate
the Term and Executive’s employment hereunder for “Good Reason” (as defined below), after providing thirty (30) days written notice to Company, which identifies the Good Reason for Executive’s termination. Upon termination
of the Term and Executive’s employment hereunder by Executive for Good Reason, Company shall pay Executive: 
 (i) His
Accrued Compensation, to be paid as soon as reasonably practicable following such termination; and 
 (ii) Subject to
Sections 4(j) and 7, the Severance Payment, in periodic bi-weekly payments over a period of one (1) year in accordance with the ordinary payroll practices and deductions of Company. 

Good Reason means any of the following reasons:

hereunder pursuant to Section 4(a) and (b), (d), or (e) of this Agreement; or

 AMENDED AND
RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT/GRAHAM – Page 5 








 (d) Termination By or of Executive after Change of Control. If at
any time during the period commencing 90 days prior to a Change of Control Event and ending 12 months after the Change of Control Event (the “Change of Control Period”), the Executive’s employment is terminated, other than by death,
either (i) by the Company other than for Cause as provided in Section 4(b), or (ii) by the Executive for any reason, then in addition to any other amounts payable to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, other than the Severance
Payment, the Company shall pay to Executive, in one lump-sum payment within 30 days after the date of such termination, Accrued Compensation plus an amount equal to two times (2.0x) the sum of (x) Executive’s then annual Base Salary
plus (y) and an amount equal to Executive’s Discretionary Bonus for the immediately preceding fiscal year (the “Change of Control Severance Payment”). Subject to Section 4(j), the Change of Control Severance Payment shall be
paid in periodic bi-weekly payments over a period of one (1) year in accordance with the ordinary payroll practice of Company. In addition, any unvested stock options or other equity-awards granted to Executive under any plan, initiative, or
award plan previously or subsequently adopted by the Company that are outstanding as of the date of such termination shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable; provided that any such stock options granted to Executive that remain unexercised as
of the date of their expiration will expire in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan and the relevant stock option agreement. For purposes of this agreement, a “Change of Control Event” shall be deemed to have taken place if one
or more of the following occurs: 
 (i) Any person or entity other, as that term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d)(2)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (other than a qualified benefit plan of Company or an affiliate of Company) becomes or is discovered to be a beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act as in effect on the date hereof)
directly or indirectly or securities of Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of Company’s then outstanding securities (unless such person is known by Executive to be already such beneficial owner on the date of this
Agreement); 
 (ii) Individuals who, as of the Effective Date hereof, constitute the Board of Directors of Company cease for
any reason to constitute at least a majority of the respective Board of Directors, unless any such change is approved by a unanimous vote of the respective Board of Directors in office immediately prior to such cessation; 

(iii) The Company or any of its affiliates shall (in a single transaction or a series or related transactions) issue shares,
sell or purchase assets, engage in a merger or engage in any other transaction immediately after which securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company shall be
ultimately owned by person(s) who shall not have owned such securities prior to such transaction or who shall be a party to such transaction; 

  
 AMENDED AND
RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT/GRAHAM – Page 6 








 (iv) The Company and its affiliates shall sell or dispose of (in a single
transaction or series of related transactions) business operations which generated a majority of the consolidated revenues (determined on the basis of Company’s four most recently completed fiscal quarters for which reports have been filed
under the Exchange Act) of Company and its subsidiaries immediately prior thereto; 
 (v) The Company’s Board of
Directors shall approve the distribution to the Company’s shareholders of all or substantially all of Company’s net assets or shall approve the dissolution of the Company; or 

(vi) Any other transaction series of related transactions occur which have substantially the effect of the transactions
specified in any of the preceding clauses in this sentence. 
 If Executive’s employment is not terminated during the
Change of Control Period, then the rights and obligation of the parties for the balance of the term of this Agreement shall be governed by this Agreement exclusive of the provisions contained in this Section 4(d) except that this
Section 4(d) shall continue and become applicable for the term of this Agreement if a subsequent Change of Control Event occurs. 

(e) Termination due to Disability. Company may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder due to
Executive’s “Disability.” Executive shall be deemed to have sustained a “Disability” if he shall have been unable to perform his duties for more than ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period. Upon
termination of Executive’s employment hereunder pursuant to this Section 4(e), Company shall promptly pay Executive his Accrued Compensation and any payments to which he may be entitled under any applicable employee benefits plan
(according to the terms of such plans and policies). 
 (f) Death. The Term and Executive’s employment
hereunder will terminate automatically upon Executive’s death. Upon termination of the Term and Executive’s employment hereunder because of Executive’s death, Company shall promptly pay Executive’s estate his Accrued
Compensation, and any payments to which Executive’s spouse, beneficiaries or estate may be entitled under any applicable employee benefit plan (according to the terms of such plans and policies). 

(g) Termination COBRA Payment. Upon termination of the Term and Executive’s employment hereunder pursuant
to Sections 4 (a), (c), (d) or (e), Company shall pay the cost to Executive as such costs become due for 

  
 AMENDED AND
RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT/GRAHAM – Page 7 








 
continuation coverage under COBRA (hereinafter referred to as the “Termination COBRA Payments”) and basic employee group benefits provided by Company to Executive for the lesser of
three (3) months after termination or until Executive secures new employment. 
 (h) Out Placement
Services. Upon termination of the Term and Executive’s employment hereunder pursuant to Sections 4(a), (c), (d), or (e) Company shall reimburse to Executive the cost for ninety (90) days of any executive outplacement firm
selected by Executive and approved by Company; provided, however, that Company’s liability hereunder shall be limited to such expenses as are customary and reasonable in the Dallas area for Executive’s level of responsibility. Executive
shall provide Company with reasonable documentation of the occurrence of such outplacement costs and expenses. 
 (i)
Employment. Upon termination of the Term and Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason, Executive shall be deemed to have voluntarily resigned from the Board and any and all positions he holds as an officer or director of
Company or any affiliate. 
 (j) Section 409A Compliance. Payments under this Agreement (the
“Payments”) shall be designed and operate in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A, and the regulations, applicable case law and administrative guidance
related to same. All Payments shall be, under all circumstances, deemed to come from an unfunded plan. Further, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all Payments subject to Section 409A will not be accelerated in
time or schedule. In addition, all Severance Payments, including Change of Control Severance Payments, that are deferred compensation and subject to 409A will only be payable upon a “separation from service” (as that term is defined at
Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations) from Company and from all other corporations and trades or businesses, if any, that would be treated as a single “service recipient” with Company under Section 1.409A-1(h)(3). All
references in this Agreement to a termination of employment shall be construed to require a “separation from service.” Furthermore, and notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if all or any portion of the Payments
and/or benefits due under this Section 4 are determined to be “non-qualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A and Company determines that Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the final regulations promulgated thereunder, and other guidance issued thereunder, then such Payments and/or benefits (or a portion thereof) shall commence no earlier than the first day of the seventh
month following Executive’s termination of employment, with the first payment being a lump-sum equal to the aggregate Payments and/or benefits Executive would have received during such six-month period if no such payment delay had been imposed.


  
 AMENDED AND
RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT/GRAHAM – Page 8 








 (k) Other Severance Pay. Other than as stated in this
Section 4, Executive shall not be entitled to, and Company shall not pay, any severance pay or benefits under any other plan, program, or policy of Company, including without limitation, no Discretionary Bonus for the year of termination. 

5. MITIGATION. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment or
take any other action by way of mitigation of Severance Payments set forth in Section 4(a) or the Change of Control Severance Payment set forth in Section 4(d), and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not Executive obtains other
employment; provided, however, that Company shall maintain a right of set-off for damages and/or harm resulting from a breach of this Agreement or any improper acts or conduct of Executive which harm Company. 

6. NOTIFICATION OF NEW EMPLOYER. In the event that employment is terminated for any reason, Executive hereby consents to the
notification by Company to Executive’s new employer of Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. In addition, in the event that Executive plans to render services to another company within two (2) years of the date of
termination of his employment, Executive agrees to provide Company with as much notice as possible of Executive’s intention to join that company and/or business but in no event will Executive provide less than two (2) weeks notice of that
intention; provided, however, the provision of such notice and Company’s receipt thereof shall not constitute a waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement. 

7. RELEASE. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Executive agrees to execute upon termination
(and not to revoke) a separation agreement and general release of claims acceptable to Company (the “Release”). If Executive fails to execute and deliver the Release, or revokes the Release, within forty-five (45) days of the date on
which Executive’s employment terminates, Executive agrees that he is not entitled to receive the Severance Payment. For purposes of this Agreement, the Release shall be considered to have been executed by Executive if it is signed by his legal
representative in the case of legal incompetence or on behalf of Executive’s estate in the case of his death. In no event shall a Severance Payment be made hereunder until the period in which to revoke the Release has terminated. 

8. NONDISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. During the course of Executive’s employment with Company, he has been and
will continue to be provided by Company with access to certain confidential information, trade-secrets, and other matters that are of a confidential and proprietary nature, including but not limited to Company’s customer list, vendors,
suppliers, pricing information, production and cost data, compensation and fee information, strategic business plans, budgets, financial statements, and other information Company treats as confidential or proprietary (collectively the
“Confidential Information”). Company provides on an ongoing basis such Confidential Information as Company deems necessary or desirable to aid Executive in the performance of his duties. Executive understands and acknowledges that such


  
 AMENDED AND
RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT/GRAHAM – Page 9 








 
Confidential Information remains confidential and proprietary, and agrees not to disclose such Confidential Information to anyone outside Company except to the extent that (i) Executive
deems such disclosure or use reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with performing his duties on behalf of Company; (ii) Executive is required by order of a court of competent jurisdiction (by subpoena or similar process) to
disclose or discuss any Confidential Information, provided that in such case, Executive shall promptly inform Company of such event, shall cooperate with Company in attempting to obtain a protective order or to otherwise restrict such disclosure,
and should only disclose Confidential Information to the minimum extent necessary to comply with any such court order; or (iii) such Confidential Information becomes generally known to and available for use in the industry in which Company does
business, other than as a result of any action or inaction by Executive. Executive further agrees that he will not during employment and/or any time thereafter use the Confidential Information in competing, directly or indirectly, with Company. At
such time as Executive shall cease to be employed by Company, he will immediately turnover to Company all Confidential Information, including all computers, personal data devices, papers, documents, writings, electronically stored information, other
property, and all copies of them, provided to or created by him during the course of his employment with Company. This nondisclosure covenant is binding on Executive, as well as his heirs, successors and legal representatives, and will survive
termination of this Agreement for any reason. 
 9. NONSOLICITATION OF COMPANY EMPLOYEES. To further preserve the rights of
Company pursuant to Section 8 above and Section 10 below, and for the consideration promised by Company under this Agreement, during the Term of Executive’s employment with Company and for a period of twelve months thereafter,
regardless of the reason for termination of employment, Executive will not , directly or indirectly, (i) hire any current or prospective employee of Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of Company (including, without limitation, any current
or prospective employee of Company within the 6-month period proceeding Executive’s last day of employment with Company who work, works, or has been offered employment by Company); (ii) solicit or encourage any employee to terminate their
employment with Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of Company; or (iii) solicit or encourage any employee to accept employment with any such business, operation, corporation, partnership, association, agency, or other person or entity with
which Executive may be associated. 
 10. NON-COMPETITION. To further preserve the rights of Company pursuant to
Section 8 above, and for the consideration promised by Company under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Term of employment, during Executive’s employment with Company and for a period of one (1) year thereafter,
regardless of the reason for termination of employment, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, as an owner, director, principal, agent, officer, employee, partner, consultant, servant, or otherwise, carry on, operate, manage, control, or become
involved in any manner with any business, operation, corporation, partnership, association, agency, or other person or entity which is in the same business as Company in any location in which Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of Company,
operates or has plans or has projected to operate or does business during Executive’s employment with Company. The foregoing shall not 

  
 AMENDED AND
RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT/GRAHAM – Page 10 








 
prohibit Executive from owning up to 5.0% of the outstanding stock of any publicly held company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after Executive’s employment with Company has terminated, upon
receiving written permission by the Board or its designee, Executive shall be permitted to engage in such competing activities that would otherwise be prohibited by this covenant if such activities are determined in the sole discretion of the Board
or its designee in good faith to be immaterial to the operations of Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of Company. 
 To further
preserve the rights of Company pursuant to Section 8 above, and for the consideration promised by Company under this Agreement, not to include any Severance Payment, during the term of Executive’s employment with Company and for a period
of one (1) year thereafter, regardless of the reason for termination of employment, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, either for himself or for any other business, operation, corporation, partnership, association, agency, or other
person or entity, call upon, compete for, solicit, divert, or take away, or attempt to divert or take away current or prospective customers (including, without limitation, any customer with whom Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of Company,
(i) has an existing agreement or business relationship; (ii) has had an agreement or business relationship within the six-month period preceding Executive’s last day of employment with Company; or (iii) has been included as a
prospect by Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of Company. 
 Company and Executive agree that the restrictions contained in this
noncompetition covenant are reasonable in scope and duration and are necessary to protect Company’s business interests and Confidential Information. If any provision of this noncompetition covenant as applied to any party or to any circumstance
is adjudged by a court or arbitrator to be invalid or unenforceable, the same will in no way affect any other circumstance or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement. If any such provision, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable
because of the scope, duration, or geographic area covered thereby, the Parties agree that the court or arbitrator making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope and/or duration and/or geographic area of such provision, and/or to
delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the breach of this noncompetition covenant will cause irreparable damage to Company,
and upon breach of any provision of this noncompetition covenant, Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief; provided, however, that this shall in no way limit any other remedies which Company
may have (including, without limitation, the right to seek monetary damages). 
 Should Executive violate the provisions of this
noncompetition covenant, then in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Company at law or in equity, the duration of this covenant shall automatically be extended for the period of time from which Executive began such violation until
he permanently ceases such violation. 
 11. SEVERABILITY AND REFORMATION. If any one or more of the terms, provisions,
covenants or restrictions of this Agreement shall be determined by a 

  
 AMENDED AND
RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT/GRAHAM – Page 11 








 
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions shall remain in full force and effect, and the invalid,
void or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed severable. Moreover, if any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it
shall be reformed by limiting and reducing it to the minimum extent necessary, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law. 

12. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the Parties hereto and fully supersedes any and all
prior agreements or understandings, written or oral, between the Parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof.
