The Grantee named above has been awarded # OF SHARES restricted shares (the
“Restricted Stock”) of the common stock, par value $.001 per share, of inVentiv

conditions of the award.  The Restricted Stock is granted under and will be
governed by terms of the inVentiv Health, Inc. 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan
(the “Plan”).  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the
meanings assigned to them in the Plan.

1. Rights as Stockholder. Subject to the terms of the award, from and after the
Grant Date, the Grantee will have all of the rights of a stockholder with
respect to the Restricted Stock, including the right to vote shares of
Restricted Stock and, subject to Section 7.3 of the Plan, the right to
participate in all dividends and distributions with respect to the Company’s
Common Stock; provided, however, that any additional shares of common stock or
other securities that the Grantee may become entitled to receive pursuant to a
stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, separation or reorganization or any other change in the capital
structure of the Company will be subject to the same restrictions as the shares
of Restricted Stock included in the award.

2. Restrictions; Delivery.  (a)  Until the Restricted Stock granted hereunder
vests in accordance with Section 3 hereof, one or more stock certificates
representing the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock will be issued in the
Grantee's name, but will be held in custody by the Company or an escrow agent
(which may be a brokerage firm) appointed by the Company.  Alternatively, the
unvested portion of the Restricted Stock may be reflected in an electronic
account.  The Grantee will not be permitted to sell, transfer, assign, give,
place in trust or otherwise dispose of or pledge, grant a security interest in
or otherwise encumber unvested shares of Restricted Stock, other than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution, and any such attempted disposition or
encumbrance will be void and unenforceable against the Company, provided that
the Grantee may assign or transfer unvested shares of Restricted Stock with the
consent of the Committee to (a) the Grantee’s spouse, children or grandchildren
(including any adopted and step children or grandchildren), (b) to a trust or
partnership for the benefit of one or more of the Grantee or the persons
referred to in clause (a), or (c) for charitable donations; provided that the
recipient shall be bound by and subject to all of the terms and conditions of
the Plan and this Agreement and shall execute an agreement satisfactory to the
Company evidencing such obligations; and provided further that such Grantee
shall remain bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan.  Subject to
applicable law, the Grantee may sell, transfer, assign, give, place in trust, or
otherwise dispose of or pledge, grant a security interest in, or otherwise
encumber vested shares of Restricted Stock.

(b)  Subject to the provisions of this award, upon the vesting of any shares of
Restricted Stock, the Company will deliver to the Grantee a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of Restricted Stock which have so
vested.  Alternatively, the Company may elect to deliver vested shares of
Restricted Stock electronically, and if it does so, Grantee must establish an
account with a brokerage firm selected by the Company as a condition to
receiving such shares.

3. Vesting of Restricted Stock.  (a)  The Restricted Stock will vest (and become
non-forfeitable) as follows:

[vesting schedule]

(b)            Vesting will occur only if the Grantee is employed by the Company
on the vesting date, unless the Committee determines otherwise in its sole and
absolute discretion. Upon termination of the Grantee's employment with the
Company for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, all shares of Restricted Stock which have not vested as of the
date of such termination will be forfeited and returned to the Company, and all
rights of the Grantee or the Grantee’s heirs in and to such shares will
terminate, unless the Committee determines otherwise in its sole and absolute
discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee is party to a written
employment agreement with the Company, vesting of the Restricted Stock will be
accelerated on the terms and to the extent provided therein if there occurs an
event specified in such employment agreement as having the effect of
accelerating the vesting of an award of restricted shares of Common Stock (such
rights of acceleration being in addition to, and not in lieu of, any provision
in the Plan for acceleration of vesting of restricted shares of Common Stock
based on the same or similar events that is, by the terms of the Plan, otherwise
applicable hereto).

4.  Tax Withholding.  It is a condition to the award of the Restricted Stock to
the Grantee that the Grantee make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to
satisfy all tax withholding amounts and other required deductions with respect
to the Restricted Stock.  The Grantee will be permitted to satisfy these
obligations by (i) making a cash payment to the Company or (ii) directing the
Company to sell vested shares of Restricted Stock in an amount sufficient to
generate net proceeds equal to or exceeding the amount of such obligations.  If
the Grantee does not satisfy such obligations as and when the same become due,
the Company will have the right to withhold a number of shares of Restricted
Stock having a value, determined in the sole discretion of the Company, equal to
the amount of the unsatisfied obligations and the Grantee will have no further
interest in the withheld shares or any proceeds thereof and will have no right
to be compensated therefore.

5. Regulatory Compliance.  The issuance and delivery of any vested shares of
Restricted Stock may be postponed by the Company for such period as may be
required to comply with any applicable requirements under the federal securities
laws or under any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance or delivery
of such shares. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any vested shares
of Restricted Stock to the Grantee if the Company believes that such delivery
would constitute a violation of any applicable law or regulation.

6. Representations and Warranties.  The Grantee is prohibited from selling
vested shares of Restricted Stock other than pursuant to either (i) a
registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), which registration statement has become
effective and is current with regard to the shares being sold, or (ii) if a
registration statement covering the Restricted Stock is not effective at the
time of issuance, a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act that is confirmed in a favorable written opinion of counsel, in
form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, prior to any such
sale or distribution, provided that the Company will not require opinions of
counsel for transfers of shares of Restricted Stock made pursuant to
Rule 144 if the Company is provided with any certificates or other evidence of
compliance with Rule 144 reasonably required by it in connection with such
transfer (including a copy of the relevant Form 144).
