    TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD

    


    These
Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Award relates to the Notice of
Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Notice”) attached hereto, by and
between NIVS IntelliMedia Technology Group, Inc. (the “Company”), and the person
identified in the Notice (the “Participant”).

    


    The Board
of Directors of the Company has authorized and approved the 2009 Omnibus
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which has been approved by the Company’s
stockholders.  The Committee has approved an award to the Participant
of a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, conditioned upon the
Participant’s acceptance of the provisions set forth in the Notice and these
Terms and Conditions within 60 days after the Notice and these Terms and
Conditions are presented to the Participant for review.  For purposes
of the Notice and these Terms and Conditions, any reference to the Company shall
include a reference to any Affiliate.

    


    1.          Grant of Restricted Stock
Units.

    


    (a)           As
of the Grant Date set forth in the Notice of Grant, the Company grants to the
Participant the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Notice of
Grant (the “Units”), which represent shares of the Company’s Common
Stock.  The Units are subject to the restrictions set forth in Section
2 of this Agreement, these Terms and Conditions, the provisions of the Plan and
the other provisions contained in these Terms and Conditions.

    


    (b)           The
Units granted under this Agreement shall be reflected in a bookkeeping account
maintained by the Company during the Restricted Period.  If and when
the restrictions set forth in Section 2 expire in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, and upon the satisfaction of all other applicable conditions as
to the Units, such Units (and any related Dividend Units described in Section
1(c) below) not forfeited pursuant to Section 4 hereof shall be settled in cash
or shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 1(e) of this Agreement and
otherwise in accordance with the Plan.

    


    (c) With respect to each Unit, whether
or not vested, that has not been forfeited (but only to the extent such award of
Units has not been settled for cash or Common Stock), the Company shall, with
respect to any cash dividends paid on the Common Stock, accrue and credit to the
Participant’s bookkeeping account a number of Units having a Fair Market Value
as of the date such dividend is paid equal to the cash dividends that would have
been paid with respect to such Unit if it were an outstanding share of Common
Stock (the “Dividend Units”).  These Dividend Units thereafter shall
(i) be treated as Units for purposes of future dividend accruals pursuant to
this Section 1(c); and (ii) vest in such amounts (rounded to the nearest whole
Unit) at the same time as the Units with respect to which such Dividend Units
were received.  Any dividends or distributions on Common Stock paid
other than in cash shall accrue in the Participant’s bookkeeping account and
shall vest at the same time as the Units in respect of which they are made (in
each case in the same form, based on the same record date and at the same time,
as such dividend or other distribution is paid on such Common
Stock).

    


    (d)           The
Company’s obligations under this Agreement (with respect to both the Units and
the Dividend Units, if any) shall be unfunded and unsecured, and no special or
separate fund shall be established and no other segregation of assets shall be
made.  The rights of Participant under this Agreement shall be no
greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.  In
addition, the Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Company may
deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which Common Stock
is then listed, any Company policy and any applicable federal or state
securities law.

    (e)           Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement, settlement of the Units in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 1(e) shall be delivered as soon as
practicable after the end of the Restricted Period, and upon the satisfaction of
all other applicable conditions as to the Units (including the payment by the
Participant of all applicable withholding taxes).  The Units so
payable to the Participant shall be paid solely in shares of Common Stock,
solely in cash based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (determined as
of the first business day next following the last day of the Restricted Period),
or in a combination of the two, as determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion.

    


    2.          Restrictions.

    


    (a)           The
Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company by virtue of
any Unit unless and until such Unit vests and resulting shares of Common Stock
are issued to the Participant:

    


    (b)            None
of the Units may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered
or disposed of during the Restricted Period, except as may be permitted by the
Plan or as otherwise permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion or
pursuant to rules adopted by the Committee in accordance with the
Plan.

    


    (c)           Any
attempt to dispose of the Units or any interest in the Units in a manner
contrary to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement shall be void and of no
effect.

    


    3.          Restricted
Period and Vesting.  The “Restricted
Period” is the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date the
Units, or such applicable portion of the Units, are deemed vested under the
schedule set forth in the Notice  Subject to the provisions contained
in Section 4, 5 and 6, the Units shall be deemed vested and no longer subject to
forfeiture under Section 4 upon expiration of the Restricted Period, and the
satisfaction of all other applicable conditions as to the Units (including the
payment by the Participant of all applicable withholding taxes).

    


    4.          Forfeiture.

    


    Subject
to Section 6 hereof, if during the Restricted
Period (i) the Participant incurs a Termination of Service, (ii) there
occurs a material breach of the Notice or these Terms and Conditions by the
Participant, or (iii) the Participant fails to meet the tax withholding
obligations described in Section 5(b) hereof, all rights of the Participant to
the Units that have not vested in accordance with Section 3 as of the date of
such termination shall terminate immediately and be forfeited in their
entirety.

    


    5.          Withholding.

    


    (a)           The
Committee shall determine the amount of any withholding or other tax required by
law to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect to any income recognized
by the Participant with respect to the Units.

    


    (b)           The
Participant shall be required to meet any applicable tax withholding obligation

    (c)           Subject
to any rules prescribed by the Committee, the Participant shall have the right

Award at the appropriate time that number of whole shares of Common Stock whose

amount of any taxes required to be withheld with respect to such Award or (iii)
by a combination of shares and cash.

any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee shall have

Units as set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Restricted Period and any other
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

    


    7.          Defined

such Units, as set forth in the Notice and Agreement, have lapsed or been

as may be required.  The Company reserves the right to restrict, in
whole or in part, the delivery of Common Stock pursuant to these Terms and
