Your Restricted Stock Unit Award

The Princeton Review, Inc. (the “Company”) has selected you to receive the award
(the “Award”) of Restricted Stock Units identified above (the “Restricted Stock
Units”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Amended and
Restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and this Restricted Stock Unit
Agreement (this “Agreement”).

The definition of any terms used herein may be found in The Princeton Review
Glossary dated May 5, 2006 (“Glossary”).

Please indicate your acceptance of this Award by signing below and returning it
by [DATE] to the Company, to the attention of Neal Winneg. You shall have no
rights with respect to this Award or any Restricted Stock Units granted
hereunder unless you have accepted this Award by signing and delivering to the
Company a copy of this Agreement by such date.

1. Restrictions and Conditions

(a) You may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose
of this Award.

(b) Your employment or other service relationship with the Company and any
Related Company must be continuous through each applicable Vesting Date (as
defined below). If your employment or other service relationship with the
Company and any Related Company is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for
any reason (including death) prior to vesting of the Restricted Stock Units
granted herein, all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall immediately and
automatically be forfeited and returned to the Company.

(c) You shall not have any stockholder rights, including voting or dividend
rights, with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Restricted
Stock Units subject to this Award until you become a record holder of those
shares of Common Stock following their actual issuance pursuant to Section 3 of
this Agreement.

2. Vesting of Restricted Stock Units

The term “vest” as used in this Agreement means the lapsing of the restrictions
that are described in Section 1, above, with respect to the Restricted Stock
Units. Except as provided below, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest in 6.25%
increments beginning on the first quarterly anniversary of the Date of Grant
referred to above, and on each quarterly anniversary thereafter over the
remainder of the Vesting Period. Each such date on which any portion of the
Restricted Stock Units vest shall be referred to herein as a “Vesting Date.”

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

3. Payment of Restricted Stock Units; Tax Withholding

(a) Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the promise to pay you one share of
the Company’s Common Stock upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. As
soon as practicable (but in no event later than 30 days) following each
applicable Vesting Date, such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid to you
in the form of shares of Common Stock, subject to the collection of the minimum
required withholding taxes in accordance with the mandatory share withholding
provisions of Section 3(b), below.

(b) The Company shall satisfy its minimum tax withholding obligation by
withholding from shares of Common Stock to be issued hereunder a number of
shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy
the withholding amount due.

4. General Provisions

(a) As a prerequisite to delivery of any stock certificates upon vesting of any
portion of this Award, you shall give an undertaking and agree to the placing of
such legends on your certificates as may be required by the Committee to assure
compliance with any federal or state securities laws. The Common Stock issued
pursuant to this Award cannot be sold unless it has been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or is subject to an exemption from
registration under such Act.

(b) This Agreement is subject to all the terms, conditions and provisions of the
Plan, including, without limitation, the amendment provisions thereof, and to
such rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan as may be
adopted by the Committee and as may be in effect from time to time. The Plan is
incorporated herein by reference. If and to the extent that this Agreement
conflicts or is inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions of the
Plan, the Plan shall control, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified
accordingly. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements
between the Company and you with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(c) This Agreement is not an employment contract and neither this Agreement nor
any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving to you the right to be
retained in the employ of the Company or a Related Company. The Company or, as
applicable, the Related Company may terminate your employment as freely and with
the same effect as if this Agreement were not in existence. Nothing set forth in
the Plan or in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or a Related Company
from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements.

(d) If any provision of this Agreement is held to be void, illegal,
unenforceable or otherwise in conflict with the law governing this Agreement,
such provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible
the original intentions of the parties in accordance with applicable law, and
the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

(e) Except as to matters of federal law, this Agreement and all rights
thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of
the State of New York, without reference to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof which would provide for the laws of any other jurisdiction to govern.

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

(f) The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be modified or amended by the
Company in a manner which is not adverse to you.
