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) yea
