This RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of
[                    ] (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by NutriSystem, Inc.
to [                    ] (the “Grantee”).

RECITALS

A. The Amended and Restated NutriSystem, Inc. 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan
permits the grant of stock awards in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Plan.

B. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has
approved this stock award under the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound
hereby, agree as follows:

1. Stock Award.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the
Plan, the Committee hereby grants to the Grantee [                ] shares of
Company Stock, subject to the restrictions set forth below and in the Plan (the
“Restricted Stock”) and acknowledges payment by the Grantee of [$        ]
($0.001 per share) for the Restricted Stock. Shares of Restricted Stock may not
be transferred by the Grantee or subjected to any security interest until the
shares have become vested pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan.

(b) Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein will have the
meanings defined in the Plan.

2. Vesting and Nonassignability of Restricted Stock.

(a) Except as provided in Paragraphs 2(b) and 2(c), the shares of Restricted
Stock shall become vested, and the restrictions described in Paragraph 2(f)
shall lapse, according to the following vesting schedule, if the Grantee
continues to be employed by, or provide services to, the Employer from the Date
of Grant until the applicable vesting date:

(i) 25% of the shares subject to the Restricted Stock shall become vested on the
first anniversary of the Date of Grant;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii) 25% of the shares subject to the Restricted Stock shall become vested on
the second anniversary of the Date of Grant;

(iii) 25% of the shares subject to the Restricted Stock shall become vested on
the third anniversary of the Date of Grant; and

(iv) the remaining 25% of the shares subject to the Restricted Stock shall
become vested on the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant.

The vesting of the shares subject to the Restricted Stock shall be cumulative,
but shall not exceed 100% of the shares subject to the Restricted Stock. If the
foregoing schedule would produce fractional shares, the number of shares that
vest shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(b) If, prior to the date 100% of the Restricted Stock becomes vested, the
Grantee ceases to be employed by, or provide services to, the Employer on
account of (i) the death of the Grantee, (ii) termination by the Employer
because the Grantee becomes “totally disabled” (as defined below), (iii) a
termination by the Employer without “cause” (as defined below), or (iv) the
resignation by the Grantee with “good reason” (as defined below), then the next
tranche of shares that would otherwise have vested under Paragraph 2(a) (but for
such cessation of employment or service) will become vested as of the date of
such cessation; provided that, in its discretion, the Company may condition such
accelerated vesting on the execution by the Grantee or the Grantee’s estate (as
applicable) of a release of claims in a form prescribed by the Company and on
that release becoming irrevocable within 30 days following the cessation of the
Grantee’s employment or service.

(c) If a cessation of employment or service described in Paragraph 2(b) occurs
within one (1) year following a Change of Control, then in lieu of accelerating
the vesting of only the next tranche of shares, 100% of the Restricted Stock
will become vested as of the date of such termination of employment or service
(subject to the satisfaction of the release requirements described in Paragraph
2(b)).

(d) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “cause” will have the meaning defined in any employment agreement, offer
letter or similar agreement between the Employer and the Grantee or, in the
absence of such an agreement: (a) the Grantee conviction of a felony, or (b) a
determination of the Committee that the Grantee has: (1) committed an act of
fraud, embezzlement or theft, (2) caused intentional damage to the property of
the Employer, (3) materially breached any agreement with the Employer, any duty
owed to the Company or its stockholders or any published policy of the Employer,
which breach (if curable) is not cured within 30 days after receiving written
notice from the Employer identifying the breach, or (4) engaged in gross
misconduct or gross negligence in the course of employment or service.

(ii) “good reason” will have the meaning defined in any employment agreement,
offer letter or similar agreement between the Employer and the Grantee or, in
the absence of such an agreement: (a) a material diminution of the Grantee’s
title, authority or duties, (b) a material reduction in the Grantee’s base
salary, or (c) a

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

relocation by more than 50 miles of the Grantee’s principal worksite; provided
that, any such event will constitute “good reason” only if the Grantee notifies
the Employer in writing of such event within 90 days following the initial
occurrence thereof, the Employer fails to cure such event within 30 days after
receipt from the Grantee of that written notice, and the Grantee resigns his or
her employment within 30 days following the expiration of that cure period.

(iii) “totally disabled” means a condition entitling Grantee to benefits under
any long-term disability plan or policy maintained or funded by the Employer.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 2, if the Grantee’s
employment or service with the Employer terminates for any reason before the
Restricted Stock is fully vested, the shares of Restricted Stock that are not
then vested (or do not then become vested) shall be forfeited and must be
immediately returned to the Company, and the Company shall pay to the Grantee,
as consideration for the return of the non-vested shares, the lesser of $0.001
per share or the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the date of
the forfeiture, for each returned share.

(f) During the period before the shares of Restricted Stock vest (the
“Restriction Period”), the non-vested shares of Restricted Stock may not be
assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Grantee. Any
attempt to assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the shares contrary
to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any execution, attachment or similar
process upon the shares, shall be null, void and without effect.

3. Issuance of Shares.

(a) The Company will cause the Restricted Stock to be issued in the Grantee’s
name either by book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or
certificates. While the Restricted Stock remains unvested, the Company will
cause an appropriate stop-transfer order to be issued and to remain in effect
with respect to the Restricted Stock. As soon as practicable following the
vesting of any of the Restricted Stock (and provided that appropriate
arrangements have been made with the Company for the satisfaction of any
required tax withholding), the Company will cause the stop-transfer order to be
removed from an appropriate number of shares.

(b) If any certificate is issued in respect of Restricted Stock, that
certificate will include such legends as the Company determines are appropriate
and will be held in escrow by the Company or its designee. In addition, the
Grantee may be required to execute and deliver to the Company or its designee a
stock power with respect to the Restricted Stock. When any certificated
Restricted Stock becomes vested, the Company will cause a new certificate to be
issued without that portion of the legend referencing the forfeiture conditions
described in Paragraph 2 and will cause that new certificate to be delivered to
the Grantee (provided that appropriate arrangements have been made with the
Company for the satisfaction of any required tax withholding).

(c) During the Restriction Period, the Grantee shall receive any cash dividends
or other distributions paid with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock and
may vote the shares of Restricted Stock. In the event of a dividend or
distribution payable in stock or other property or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a reclassification, split up or similar event during the Restriction Period, the
shares or other property issued or declared with respect to the non-vested
shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same forfeiture conditions
and transfer restrictions as those non-vested shares.

(d) The obligation of the Company to deliver shares upon the vesting of the
Restricted Stock shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations
and such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed appropriate to
comply with relevant securities laws and regulations.

4. Dissolution or Liquidation; Sale or Merger. In the event of a dissolution,
liquidation, sale or merger of the Company or similar event or transaction, the
Committee may take such actions with respect to the Restricted Stock as it deems
appropriate and consistent with the Plan.

5. Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This grant is made pursuant to the Plan,
the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects
shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. The grant is subject to
interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established
from time to time by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the
Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) rights and
obligations with respect to withholding taxes, (ii) the registration,
qualification or listing of the shares, (iii) changes in capitalization of the
Company, and (iv) other requirements of applicable law. The Committee shall have
the authority to interpret and construe the grant pursuant to the terms of the
Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising
hereunder.

6. Withholding. The Grantee shall be required to pay to the Employer, or make
other arrangements satisfactory to the Employer to provide for the payment of,
any federal, state, local or other taxes that the Employer is required to
withhold with respect to the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock. Subject
to Committee approval, the Grantee may elect to satisfy any tax withholding
obligation of the Employer with respect to the Restricted Stock by having vested
shares withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable
withholding tax rate for federal (including FICA), state, local and other tax
liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this
Agreement, until the Grantee has satisfied the Employer’s withholding obligation
with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, the Grantee shall not have any
rights to sell or transfer any shares that have become vested pursuant to
Paragraph 2.

7. Restrictions on Sale or Transfer of Shares.

(a) The Grantee will not sell, transfer, pledge, donate, assign, mortgage,
hypothecate or otherwise encumber the shares underlying this grant unless the
shares are registered under the 1933 Act, or the Company is given an opinion of
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that such registration is not
required under the 1933 Act.

(b) In consideration for this grant of Restricted Stock, the Grantee agrees to
be bound by the Employer’s policies as in effect from time to time, including,
but not limited to, the Company’s Insider Trading, Anti-Hedging and Clawback
Policies and Stock Ownership Guidelines, and understands that there may be
certain times during the year that the Grantee will be prohibited from selling,
transferring, donating, assigning, mortgaging, hypothecating or otherwise
encumbering the Company’s securities.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. No Employment or Other Rights. This grant shall not confer upon the Grantee
any right to be retained by or in the employ or service of the Employer and
shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Employer to terminate the
Grantee’s employment or service at any time. The right of the Employer to
terminate at will the Grantee’s employment or service at any time for any reason
is specifically reserved.

9. Confidential Information, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. The Grantee
affirms his or her obligations under the Nondisclosure and Noncompete Agreement
for Management Employees.

10. Assignment by Company. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder
shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s
parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates. This Agreement may be assigned by the
Company without the Grantee’s consent.

11. Effect on Other Benefits. The value of this award or the shares subject
hereto shall not be considered eligible earnings for purposes of any other plan
maintained by the Company or the Employer. Neither shall such value be
considered part of the Grantee’s compensation for purposes of determining or
calculating other benefits that are based on compensation, such as life
insurance.

12. Applicable Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of
this instrument shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws
provisions thereof.

13. Notice. Notices permitted or required under this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand or
overnight courier addressed, in the case of the Company, c/o its General Counsel
at its principal executive office and, in the case of the Grantee, to his or her
most recent address set forth in the personnel records of the Company.

14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the
parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, and merges and supersedes
all prior and contemporaneous discussions, agreements and understandings of
every nature relating to the subject matter hereof.

15. Amendment. This Agreement cannot be changed, modified, extended or
terminated except upon written amendment executed by the parties hereto. Any
such written amendment must be approved by the Committee to be effective against
the Company.

16. Consent to Electronic Delivery. The Grantee hereby authorizes the Company to
deliver electronically any prospectuses or other documentation related to this
Agreement, the Plan and any other compensation or benefit plan or arrangement in
