Exhibit 10.1

THIS AGREEMENT, including Appendix A, granted on the 7th day of February, 2012 (“Grant Date”), by Con-way Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called “Company”) to Recipient.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Con-way Inc. 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (as so amended, the “Plan”), which Plan is incorporated into this Agreement by reference;

WHEREAS, the Company encourages its executive officers to own securities of the Company and thereby to align their interests more closely with the interests of the other stockholders of the Company, desires to motivate Recipient by providing Recipient with a direct interest in the Company’s attainment of its financial goals, and desires to provide a financial incentive that will help attract and retain the most qualified executive officers; and

WHEREAS, the Company has determined that it would be to the advantage and interest of the Company and its stockholders to issue to Recipient the Restricted Stock Units (as defined below) provided for in this Agreement as an incentive for increased efforts and successful achievements;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby grants to Recipient the Restricted Stock Units provided for in this Agreement upon the following terms and conditions:

1.	Defined Terms. Except as otherwise indicated herein, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan.

Restricted Stock Units. As of the Grant Date, the Company hereby grants that number of restricted stock units to Recipient as set forth in the “Summary of Grant/Award” on the online award acceptance page of the Company’s designated broker with respect to the Company’s shares of Common Stock (hereinafter called the “Stock”), pursuant to Section 10 of the Plan (hereinafter called the “Restricted Stock Units”), subject to the requirement that Recipient remains an Active Employee of the Company, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliate at all times during the period from the Grant Date through the applicable Vesting Date for such Restricted Stock Units as set forth in Section 3. As used herein, “Active Employee” of the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate means an employee who (i) is actively employed by the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate or (ii) is on an authorized medical, disability or other leave from the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate. The number of Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder will be adjusted from time to time for changes in capitalization, as provided in the Plan.

3.	Vesting; Settlement.

(a)

Subject to subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 3, all Restricted Stock Units shall vest on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Grant Date, provided that Recipient has been an Active Employee of the Company, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliate at all times during the period from the Grant Date until such date. Subject to Section 5 below, the Company may cause such number of Restricted Stock Units to vest as may be necessary to satisfy any Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 5 below) that may arise before the vesting date.

(b)

All Restricted Stock Units (if any) which have not vested shall vest upon the earliest to occur of the following, provided that Recipient has been an Active Employee of the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate at all times during the period from the Grant Date until the date of such occurrence:

(1)

Recipient’s death;

(2)

Termination of Recipient’s employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate as a result of a Disability; or

As used herein, “Disability” means a substantial mental or physical disability, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

(c)

A pro rata portion of all Restricted Stock Units which have not vested shall vest upon Recipient’s Normal Retirement. Such pro rata portion shall equal the number of unvested Restricted Stock Units, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months elapsing from the Grant Date to the date of Recipient’s Normal Retirement, and the denominator of which is 36. “Normal Retirement” means retirement on or after age 65 (Normal Retirement Date) or after attaining age 55 with combined age in whole or partial years (rounded to the nearest whole month) plus years of service equal to at least 85 (the Rule of 85). For the avoidance of doubt, any Restricted Stock Units that do not vest pursuant to this Section 3(c) (i.e., the non-pro rata portion) shall be automatically, immediately and irrevocably forfeited upon Recipient’s Normal Retirement.

(d)

(1)

Upon a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control that constitutes a “Disposition of a Business Unit” (as defined in the CIC Severance Agreement (as defined below)), the Restricted Stock Unit shall be converted, assumed or replaced with an equivalent restricted stock unit or right (“Assumed”) by the surviving corporation, the successor corporation or its parent corporation, as applicable (the “Successor Corporation”). If there is a Change in Control (other than a Disposition of a Business Unit) and the Restricted Stock Unit is not Assumed, then immediately prior to the Change in Control such Restricted Stock Units shall become fully

vested. For purposes of this Paragraph 3(d)(1), the Restricted Stock Units shall be considered Assumed if, following the Change in Control, the restricted stock unit or other right confers the right to receive, for each Restricted Stock Unit subject to the award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in connection with the Change in Control by holders of Stock for each share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration selected by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Stock); provided, however, that if such consideration received in connection with the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the Successor Corporation, the Committee may, with the consent of the Successor Corporation, provide for the consideration to be received, for each share of Stock subject thereto, to be solely common stock of the Successor Corporation equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Stock in connection with the Change in Control.

(2)

If, on the Grant Date, Recipient is a party to a Severance Agreement (Change in Control) with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate (on the terms, conditions and other provisions, including definitions, as are in effect on the Grant Date and without regard to whether the Severance Agreement (Change in Control) is in effect on the date of a Change in Control or the date Recipient’s employment terminates, the “CIC Severance Agreement”), then, if the Restricted Stock Units are Assumed and Recipient’s employment terminates and such termination of employment constitutes or would constitute a “Severance” (as defined in the CIC Severance Agreement), the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested on the date of Recipient’s termination.

(3)

Notwithstanding subsection (2) of this Section 3(d), if the Change in Control constitutes a “Disposition of a Business Unit” (as defined in the CIC Severance Agreement) and, as of immediately prior to the Change in Control, Recipient is an Active Employee of the Business Unit that is the subject of the Change in Control, then:

(i)

If, immediately following the Change in Control, Recipient continues to be employed by the Business Unit (or is employed by the successor company that acquires the Business Unit) and, as a result of the Change in Control, ceases to be an Active Employee, then the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested on the date of the Change in Control;

(ii)

If, in connection with the Change in Control, Recipient ceases to be an Active Employee and is not retained by the Business Unit (or employed by the successor company that acquires the Business Unit), then the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested on the date of the Change in Control;

(iii)

If, in connection with the Change in Control, Recipient ceases to be an employee of the Business Unit but continues to be employed as an Active Employee (regardless of whether employed in the same capacity as was employed prior to the Change in Control), then the provisions of subsection (2) of this Section 3(d) shall apply to the Restricted Stock Units (it being understood that a Change in Control will be deemed to have occurred for purposes of subsection (2)).

(4)

Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it is determined by the Company that any vesting of the Restricted Stock Units contemplated by this Section 3(d) would be subject to the Excise Tax (as defined in the CIC Severance Agreement) or would result in the loss of a deduction to the Company or any Affiliate under Section 280G of the Code, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units may be adjusted as provided in Section 4 of the CIC Severance Agreement.

(e)

(1)

If, on the Grant Date, Recipient is (i) a party to a Severance Agreement (Non-Change in Control) with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate (on the terms, conditions and other provisions, including definitions, as are in effect on the Grant Date and without regard to whether the Severance Agreement (Non-Change in Control) is in effect on the date Recipient’s employment is terminated, the “Non-CIC Severance Agreement”) or (ii) eligible to receive severance benefits under the Non-Change in Control Severance Policy (on the terms, conditions and other provisions, including definitions, as are in effect on the Grant Date and without regard to whether the Non-Change in Control Severance Policy is in effect on the date Recipient’s employment is terminated, the “Non-CIC Severance Policy”), then if Recipient’s employment terminates while Recipient is an Active Employee and such termination of employment constitutes or would constitute, as applicable, (A) a “Severance” (as defined in the Non-CIC Severance Agreement) or (B) an “Involuntary Termination” (as defined in the Non-CIC Severance Policy), then the Restricted Stock Units shall become vested, on the date of Recipient’s termination of employment but only to the extent provided in the

Non-CIC Severance Agreement or Non-CIC Severance Policy, as applicable.

(2)

Recipient hereby acknowledges and understands that under no event or circumstance shall Recipient be entitled to vesting acceleration under this Section 3(e) to the extent such vesting acceleration exceeds any vesting acceleration that has occurred or will occur under the Non-CIC Severance Agreement or Non-CIC Severance Policy, as applicable.

(f)

Recipient shall not be eligible for the vesting acceleration or other benefits provided under subsection (d) or (e) unless Recipient (or, in the event of the death of Recipient, the executor, personal representative or administrator of Recipient’s estate) first executes a written release in the form then maintained by the Company and delivers such release to the Company within the period required under the release, but in any event with 45 days following Recipient’s employment termination.

(g)

All Restricted Stock Units (if any) which have not vested shall be automatically, immediately and irrevocably forfeited if Recipient ceases to be an Active Employee of the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate for any reason other than as a result of an occurrence described in subsections (b), (c), (d) or (e) above. Upon forfeiture of any Restricted Stock Units, all right, title and interest of Recipient in such Restricted Stock Units, and in any distributions contemplated by Section 4 (other than cash dividends received by Recipient pursuant to Section 4 prior to such forfeiture), shall thereupon cease; and all right, title and interest in and to such Restricted Stock Units and distributions shall vest in the Company, with no compensation or consideration to Recipient.

(h)

Each vested Restricted Stock Unit will be settled by the delivery of one share of Stock to Recipient, as soon as practicable, subject to satisfaction of Tax-Related Items withholding obligations (as defined in Section 5) and compliance with securities laws and other applicable laws; provided, however, that to the extent that settlement of the Restricted Stock Units constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Code Section 409A (in the case of U.S. taxpayers), the Restricted Stock Units shall be settled on the earliest of (i) the vesting date provided in Section 3(a), (ii) within 30 days of the vesting date provided in Section 3(b) or 3(c), (iii) if Section 3(d)(1) applies, within 30 days following a Change in Control that is a “change in control event” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, or (iv) on the 52nd day following a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A under Section 3(d)(2), 3(d)(3), 3(d)(4) or 3(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Recipient is a U.S. taxpayer and a “specified employee” (as that term is defined in the Company’s 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan for Executives and Key Employees, or a successor plan) and if the Restricted Stock Units constitute an item of deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, the Restricted Stock

Units shall be settled on the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh month following Participant’s “separation from service” or (ii) 30 days following the date of Participant’s death.

(i)

For avoidance of doubt, only shares of Stock shall be issuable upon the settlement of Restricted Stock Units, not cash. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Stock upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

4.	Dividend Equivalents.

(a)

Recipient shall not be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents with respect to the Restricted Stock Units and Additional Securities held by Recipient in the event that the Board declares a cash dividend on the Company’s Stock.

(b)

If the Board declares a dividend on the Company’s Stock (other than a cash dividend) including, but not by way of limitation, warrants and securities received as a stock dividend or stock split, or as a result of a recapitalization or reorganization, Recipient will be entitled to Dividend Equivalents equal to the value (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) of dividends payable on the same number of shares of Stock as the number of Restricted Stock Units and Additional Securities (as defined below) then held by Recipient. Any such Dividend Equivalents will be in the form of additional whole Restricted Stock Units, which Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same terms and vesting and payment conditions as the underlying Restricted Stock Units or Additional Securities with respect to which they were issued (such additional Restricted Stock Units being referred to as “Additional Securities”). The number of additional Restricted Stock Units Recipient will receive shall be determined by dividing the value (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) of dividends payable per share of Stock on a given date by the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date (rounded down to the nearest whole share).

Taxes.

(a)

Regardless of any action the Company or the Subsidiary or Affiliate that employs Recipient (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), Recipient acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by him or her is and remains Recipient’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Recipient further acknowledge that that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including the

grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units in shares of Stock upon vesting, the subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends or Dividend Equivalents; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate Recipient’s liability for Tax-Related Items. Further, if Recipient is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Recipient acknowledges that the Company and/or employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(b)

Prior to any taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Recipient shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Recipient authorizes the Company or its respective agents to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding in shares of Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. In the event that such withholding in shares of Stock is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, by Recipient’s acceptance of the Restricted Stock Units, Recipient authorizes and directs the Company and any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company to sell on Recipient’s behalf a whole number of shares from those shares of Stock issuable to Recipient as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the obligation for Tax-Related Items.

The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Recipient will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes, Recipient is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. Anything in this Section 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, the right of the Company or the Employer to withhold any Tax-Related Items for any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be limited to the minimum amount permitted to avoid a prohibited acceleration under Section 409A of the Code.

(c)

Finally, Recipient agrees to pay the Company or the Employer, including through withholding from Recipient’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Recipient by the Company and/or the Employer, any amount of

Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Recipient’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock, if Recipient fails to comply with Recipient's obligations in connection with the Tax Related Items.

6.	Committee Decisions Conclusive. All decisions of the Committee upon any question arising under the Plan or under this Agreement shall be final and binding on all parties (except as otherwise resolved or settled pursuant to the claims procedures set forth in Section 15 of the Plan).

7.	Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant of Restricted Stock Units, Recipient acknowledges, understands, and agrees that:

(a)

the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(b)

the grant of the Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past;

(c)

all decisions with respect to future grants of Restricted Stock Units or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

Recipient is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(e)

the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not intended to replace any pension rights;

(f)

(g)

the future value of the shares of Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(h)

the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Recipient’s participation in the Plan, or Recipient’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Stock;

(i)

Recipient is hereby advised to consult with Recipient’s personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding Recipient’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan;

(j)

no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of Recipient’s employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units to which Recipient is otherwise not entitled, Recipient irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer, waive his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and release the Company and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, Recipient shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims;

(k)

For Recipients who reside outside the U.S., the following additional provisions shall apply:

(i)

the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company;

(ii)

the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of Recipient's employment contract, if any; and

(ii)

in the event of termination of Recipient’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Recipient’s right to receive the Restricted Stock Units and vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan and this Agreement, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Recipient is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Recipient is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Restricted Stock Units and this Agreement.

Data Privacy. Recipient hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Recipient’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Restricted Stock Unit grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Recipient’s participation in the Plan.

Recipient understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about Recipient, including, but not limited to, Recipient’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Recipient’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

Recipient understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Recipient’s participation in the Plan. Recipient understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Recipient understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect Recipient’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Recipient’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Recipient understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

9.	No Right to Continued Employment, etc. None of this Agreement, the grant of Restricted Stock Units hereunder, the vesting of Restricted Stock Units, Recipient’s receipt of Stock upon the settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units

or any other agreement entered into pursuant hereto (i) shall confer upon Recipient the right to continue in the employ of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth herein or in any such other agreement or (ii) interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any such Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate Recipient’s employment.

APPENDIX A

CON-WAY INC. 2006 EQUITY AND INCENTIVE PLAN

GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT

COUNTRY-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS

Terms and Conditions

This Appendix A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units granted to Recipient under Con-way Inc. 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (as so amended, the “Plan”) if Recipient resides in one of the countries listed below. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A are defined in the Plan and/or the Restricted Stock Unit Grant Agreement (the “Agreement”), and have the meanings set forth therein.

Notifications

This Appendix A also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Recipient should be aware with respect to Recipient's participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2012. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Recipient not rely on the information noted in this Appendix A as the only source of information relating to the consequences of Recipient’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that Recipient vests in the Restricted Stock Units or sells shares of Stock acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to Recipient’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Recipient of a particular result. Accordingly, Recipient is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in Recipient’s country may apply to Recipient's situation.

Finally, Recipient understands that if he or she is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which Recipient is currently working, transfers employment after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not apply to Recipient, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply.

CHINA

Terms and Conditions

Securities Law Information. Recipient residing in the Netherlands should be aware of the Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units. In particular, Recipient may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions if Recipient possesses inside information about the Company.

Under Article 5:56 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act, anyone who has “inside information” related to an issuing company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. “Inside information” is defined as knowledge of specific information concerning the issuing company to which the securities relate or the trade in securities issued by such company, which has not been made public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the share price, regardless of the development of the price. The insider could be any Employee of the Company or an Affiliate in the Netherlands who has inside information as described herein.

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain Employees working at the Company or an Affiliate in the Netherlands may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when in possession of the inside information.

If Recipient is uncertain whether the insider-trading rules apply to his or her situation, Recipient should consult his or her personal legal advisor.
