    	2Exhibit 10.1 Form of Director Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

Exhibit 10.1
INCENTIVE PLAN 
OF 
CARRIZO OIL & GAS, INC.
DIRECTOR RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is effective as of the ____ day of _______, 20___ (the “Grant Date”), by and between Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), and ____________________ (the “Grantee”).
The Company has adopted the Incentive Plan of Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc., as amended and restated effective April 30, 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”), by this reference made a part hereof, for the benefit of eligible employees, directors and independent contractors of the Company and its Subsidiaries.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Plan.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Committee, which has generally been assigned responsibility for administering the Plan, has determined that it would be in the interest of the Company and its stockholders to grant the restricted stock units provided herein in order to provide Grantee with additional remuneration for services rendered, to encourage Grantee to remain in the service of the Company as a Nonemployee Director and to increase Grantee’s personal interest in the continued success and progress of the Company.
The Company and Grantee therefore agree as follows:
1.Grant of Restricted Stock Units.  Subject to the terms and conditions herein, effective as of the Grant Date, the Company hereby awards to the Grantee, pursuant to the Plan, a right to receive ______ shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share, or the cash equivalent thereof (“Restricted Stock Units”).
2.    Transfer Restrictions.  Except as expressly provided herein, the Restricted Stock Units are not transferable (voluntarily or involuntarily) other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules thereunder (a “QDRO”), and may not otherwise be assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.  Upon any attempt to effect any such disposition, or upon the levy of any such process, the award provided for herein shall immediately become null and void, and the Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately forfeited.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Stock Units are transferable by the Grantee to (i) the children or grandchildren of the Grantee (“Immediate Family Members”), (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members (“Immediate Family Member Trusts”), or (iii) a partnership or partnerships in which such Immediate Family Members have at least ninety‐nine percent (99%) of the equity, profit and loss interests (“Immediate Family Member Partnerships”).  Subsequent transfers of a transferred Restricted Stock Unit shall be prohibited except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a QDRO, unless such transfers are made to the original Grantee or a person to whom the original Grantee could have made a transfer in the manner described herein.  No transfer shall be effective unless and until written notice of such transfer is provided to the Committee, in the form and manner prescribed by the Committee.  Following transfer, the Restricted Stock Units shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer, and, except as otherwise provided herein, the term “Grantee” shall be deemed to refer to the transferee.
3.    Restrictions; Payment Date.  Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 hereof, the restrictions on the Restricted Stock Units shall lapse on [the first anniversary of the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders which most recently preceded the Grant Date] [___________, 20___] (the “Payment Date”).

-1-

As soon as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the occurrence of the Payment Date, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee (i) certificates representing the applicable number shares of Common Stock or cause the applicable number of shares of Common Stock to be evidenced in book entry form in the Grantee’s name in the stock register of the Company maintained by the Company’s transfer agent, (ii) cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the applicable number of shares of Common Stock on such Payment Date, or (iii) any combination of (i) or (ii).
4.    Termination of Service; Forfeiture.  Upon termination of the Grantee’s service as a Nonemployee Director with the Company as a result of the death of the Grantee, the restrictions on all Restricted Stock Units shall immediately lapse and such Restricted Stock Units shall vest in the Grantee or, as applicable, the Grantee’s legal representative, beneficiary or heir.
As soon as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the death of the Grantee, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee or, as applicable, the Grantee’s legal representative, beneficiary or heir (i) certificates representing the applicable number shares of Common Stock or cause the applicable number of shares of Common Stock to be evidenced in book entry form in the Grantee’s name in the stock register of the Company maintained by the Company’s transfer agent, (ii) cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the applicable number of shares of Common Stock on such Payment Date, or (iii) any combination of (i) or (ii).
Upon termination of the Grantee’s service as a Nonemployee Director of the Company without the consent of a majority of the other members of the Board of Directors for any reason other than death, all Restricted Stock Units as to which the restrictions thereon have not previously lapsed shall be immediately forfeited to the Company.
5.    No Ownership Rights Prior to Issuance of Shares of Common Stock; Dividend Equivalents.  Neither the Grantee nor any other person shall become the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units, nor have any rights of a shareholder (including, without limitation, dividend and voting rights) with respect to any such shares of Common Stock, unless and until and after such shares of Common Stock have been delivered to the Grantee as described in the last subparagraph of paragraph 3.
6.    Adjustments.  As provided in Section 15 of the Plan, certain adjustments may be made to the Restricted Stock Units upon the occurrence of events or circumstances described in Section 15 of the Plan.
7.    Restrictions Imposed by Law.  Without limiting the generality of Section 16 of the Plan, the Grantee agrees that the Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock if counsel to the Company determines that such exercise or delivery would violate any applicable law or any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of the Company with, any securities exchange or association upon which the Common Stock is listed or quoted.  The Company shall in no event be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock to comply with any such law, rule, regulation or agreement.
