    Dear
______:

     

         
This letter (the “Letter”) sets forth the terms and
conditions of the grant of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) hereby awarded to you by
TheStreet.com, Inc. (the “Company”),
in accordance with the provisions of the Company's 2007 Performance Incentive
Plan (the “Plan”).

     

         
This award is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, any
rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”) or
the committee of the Board which administers the Plan (the “Committee”)
that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Letter. Any term used in
this Letter and not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the
Plan.

     

         
1.     Grant of RSUs

     

                  You
have been granted __________ RSUs. Each RSU represents the right to receive one
share of the Company’s Common Stock (“Common
Stock”) on the applicable vesting date for such RSU. No RSU may be sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered by you; provided that the
foregoing shall not affect your right to name a beneficiary under Section 13 of
the Plan. Until such time as stock certificates for the shares of Common Stock
represented by the RSUs have been delivered to you in accordance with Section 4
below, you shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the
Common Stock.

     

                  However,
this grant includes the grant of dividend equivalents with respect to your RSUs.
The Company will maintain a bookkeeping account to which it will credit,
whenever dividends (other than stock dividends for which an adjustment is made
to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the RSUs pursuant to Section
4.4 of the Plan in the same percentage as paid on outstanding Common Stock) or
distributions are paid on the Common Stock, an amount equal to the amount of
such dividend or distribution paid on a share of Common Stock for each of your
then-outstanding RSUs covered by this Letter. The accumulated dividend
equivalents will vest on the applicable vesting date for the RSU with respect to
which such dividend equivalents were credited, and will be paid in cash (or, if
the dividend or distribution is paid in kind, in the same kind) at the time a
stock certificate evidencing the shares represented by such vested RSU is
delivered to you.

     Vesting of RSUs

     

                  Your
RSUs will become vested (and paid in accordance with Section 4 below) with
respect to the following number(s) of shares of Common Stock on the following
date(s) as set forth below, provided that you are in the Service (as defined
below) of the Company or one of its subsidiaries on such date and the RSUs have
not been forfeited in accordance with Section 6:

                3rd
      Anniversary

              	 
      	 
      	 
      	 
      
	
                4th
      Anniversary

              	 
      	 
      	 
      	 
      
	
                5th
      Anniversary

              	 
      	 
      	 
      	 
      


      

    

    


    For
purposes hereof, you shall be considered to be in the "Service"
of the Company or one of its subsidiaries if you are an employee of the Company
(or one if its subsidiaries, as applicable) on the applicable vesting date.
Except as provided in Sections 3 and 6 below, if your Service terminates for any
reason, the RSUs granted to you which have not vested shall be forfeited upon
such termination of Service.

     


         3.      Accelerated
Vesting in Certain Events

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              a.

            	
              Upon
      a Change of Control

            


    

     

    In the
event of the consummation of a Change of Control, all of the unvested RSUs held
by you shall become fully vested and be paid in accordance with Section 4
below.

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              b.

            	
              Upon
      Death or Disability

            


    

     

    In the
event your employment with the Company or one of its subsidiaries is terminated
by reason of your death or Disability (as defined below), a portion or all of
the unvested RSUs held by you shall become vested as provided below in this
Section 3(b) and be paid in accordance with Section 4 below. The portion of the
unvested RSUs that will vest shall be determined by (i) multiplying the full
number of RSUs covered by this Letter by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the number of months you were employed by the Company or one of its
subsidiaries after the date of this Letter (up to a maximum of sixty months),
and the denominator of which shall be sixty, and then (ii) subtracting from the
resulting sum the number of RSUs which had previously vested. As an example, and
for the avoidance of doubt, if a death or Disability happens one year after the
date of this Letter, the net number of RSUs that would vest under this provision
would equal (______ x 12/60) – ______ (the RSUs that vested according to their
normal annual vesting schedule) = _________.


    
      
         


      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    For
purposes of this Letter, “Disability”
shall mean physical or mental incapacity of a nature which prevents you, in the
good faith judgment of the Committee, from performing your duties and
responsibilities to the Company in the position in which you then are employed,
for a period of 90 consecutive days or 150 days during any year, with each year
under this Letter commencing on each anniversary of the date
hereof.

     

         4.      Delivery
of Common Stock

     

                  Upon
the vesting of your RSUs pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 above, a certificate for
the shares of Common Stock represented by your vested RSUs shall be registered
in your name and delivered to you as soon as practicable, but no later than
thirty (30) days, after each of the vesting dates set forth in Sections 2 and 3.
Common Stock delivered upon the vesting of your RSUs will be fully transferable
(subject to any applicable securities law restrictions) and not subject to
forfeiture (other than as set forth in Section 6), and will entitle the holder
to all rights of a stockholder of the Company.

     

    The Company will use reasonable
commercial efforts to cause its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or successor
form) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering shares subject
to the Plan to remain effective and current until such times as all of your RSUs
are either delivered hereunder or forfeited under Section 6 and, until three
months after you cease being an “affiliate” of the Company, to maintain a resale
prospectus thereunder (or otherwise register under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended) the Common Stock underlying your RSUs.

     

         5.
     Income Tax Withholding

     

                  You
will be required to pay, pursuant to such arrangements as the Company may
establish from time to time, any applicable federal, state and local withholding
tax liability at the time that the value of the RSUs and/or related dividend
equivalents becomes includable in your income. In this regard, you will have the
right to elect to have the minimum amount of any required tax withholding with
respect to the vesting of RSUs satisfied by having the Company withhold a number
of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to you in connection with the
vested RSUs having a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding tax
liability.

     

    For purposes of this Letter, “Fair Market
Value” of a share of Common Stock on any date shall be (i) if the
principal market for the Common Stock is a national securities exchange, the
closing sales price per share of the Common Stock on such day (or, if such
exchange is not open on such day, on the next day such exchange is open) as
reported by such exchange or on a consolidated tape reflecting transactions on
such exchange, or (ii) if the principal market for the Common Stock is not a
national securities exchange, the closing average of the highest bid and lowest
asked prices per share of Common Stock on such day (or, if such market is not
open on such day, on the next day such market is open) as reported by the market
upon which the Common Stock is quoted, or an independent dealer in the Common
Stock, as determined by the Company in good faith; provided, however, that if
clauses (i) and (ii) are all inapplicable, or if no trades have been made and no
quotes are available for such day, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
shall be determined by the Committee in good faith by any method consistent with
applicable regulations adopted by the United States Treasury Department relating
to stock options or stock valuation.

         6.
     Forfeiture Events and Claw-Back

     

    Notwithstanding anything else in this
Letter, all RSUs that have not been paid to you by delivery of the underlying
shares of Common Stock as required by Section 4 (or, in the case of the
termination of your employment by the Company without Cause, have not been
vested), prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of grant of these RSUs shall
be forfeited without payment (regardless of the vested status of the RSUs) if
any one of the following occurs prior to delivery as required by Section 4 of
the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs (or, in the case of the
termination of your employment by the Company without Cause, prior to vesting):
(i) the Company involuntarily terminates your employment with or without Cause;
(ii) you voluntarily terminate your employment prior to the fifth anniversary of
this Agreement; (iii) you engage in Competitive Activity (as defined below) with
the Company or any of its subsidiaries during your employment by the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or within two (2) years after the cessation of your
employment with the Company; or (iv) you breach any of the Restrictive Covenants
set forth in Section 7 within two (2) years after your cessation of employment
with the Company or any subsidiary. The Company reserves the right (as provided
below) to claw-back shares of Common Stock delivered under this Letter if you
engage in Competitive Activity or violate any of the Restrictive Covenants
within two (2) years after the delivery (vesting in the case of termination of
your employment by the Company without Cause) of such shares of Common Stock. If
the Committee determines, in its good faith discretion, that all or some portion
of the shares of Common Stock delivered to you will be clawed-back, then you
shall be required to repay to the Company an equal number of shares of Common
Stock to that so delivered to you or, at your option, cash equal to the Fair
Market Value at the date of delivery to you of such shares of Common Stock or a
combination of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of
repayment equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares at the date of delivery
thereof to you and such cash, in each case reduced by the amount of taxes paid
by you with respect to the vesting, delivery and sale of such shares. In
addition to any other remedy available to the Company under applicable law, the
Company shall have the right to offset any other amounts payable to you by the
amount of any required repayment by you which has not been
repaid.

    For
purposes of this Letter, “Cause”
shall be determined by the Committee in the exercise of its good faith judgment,
in accordance with the following guidelines: (i) your willful misconduct or
gross negligence in the performance of your obligations, duties and
responsibilities in the position at the Company that you held as of the
termination of your employment by the Company, including those as an employee of
the Company set forth in the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics dated
June 1, 2006, as same may be amended from time to time provided such amendment
affects all executive officers of the Company, (ii) your dishonesty or
misappropriation, in either case that is willful and material, relating to the
Company or any of its funds, properties, or other assets, (iii) your inexcusable
repeated or prolonged absence from work (other than as a result of, or in
connection with, a Disability), (iv) any unauthorized disclosure by you of
Confidential Information or proprietary information of the Company in violation
of Section 7(d) which is reasonably likely to result in material harm to the
Company, (v) your conviction of a felony (including entry of a guilty or nolo
contender plea) involving fraud, dishonesty, or moral turpitude, (vi) a
violation of federal or state securities laws, or (vii) the failure by you to
attempt to perform faithfully your duties and responsibilities to the Company in
the position in which you are employed at the time of the termination of your
employment by the Company, or other material breach by you of this Letter,
provided any such failure or breach described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv),
(vi) and (vii) is not cured, to the extent cure is possible, by you within
thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from the Company to you; provided,
however, that no failure or breach described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv),
(vi) and (vii) shall constitute Cause unless (x) the Company first gives you
written notice of its intention to terminate your employment for Cause and the
grounds of such termination no fewer than ten (10) days prior to the date of
termination; and (y) you are provided an opportunity to appear before the Board,
with or without legal representation at your election to present arguments on
your own behalf and (z) if you elect to so appear, such failure or breach is not
cured, to the extent cure is possible, within thirty (30) days after written
notice from the Company to you that, following such appearance, the Board has
determined in good faith that Cause exists and has not, following the initial
notice from the Company, been cured; provided further, however, that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Letter and subject to the other
terms of this proviso, the Company may take any and all actions, including
without limitation suspension (but not without pay), it deems appropriate with
respect to you and your duties at the Company pending such appearance and
subsequent to such appearance during which such failure or breach has not been
cured. No act or failure to act on your part will be considered “willful” unless
done, or omitted to be done, by you not in good faith and without reasonable
belief that your action or omission was in the best interests of the
Company.

     

    For purposes of this Letter, “Competitive
Activity” means your service as a director, officer, employee, principal,
agent, stockholder, member, owner or partner of, or you permit your name to be
used in connection with the activities of, any other business or organization
anywhere in the United States, or in any other geographic area in which the
Company or any of its subsidiaries operates or with respect to which the Company
provides financial news and commentary coverage (or from which such other
business or organization provides financial news and commentary coverage of the
United States), which engages in a business that competes with any business in
which the Company or any subsidiary is engaged (a “Competing
Business”; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, it
shall not be a Competitive Activity for you to (i) become the registered or
beneficial owner of up to three percent (3%) of any class of capital stock of a
competing corporation registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, provided that you do not otherwise participate in the business of such
corporation or (ii) work in a non-competitive business of a company which is
carrying on a Competing Business, the revenues of which represent less than
twenty percent (20%) of the consolidated revenues of that company, or, as a
result thereof, owning compensatory equity in that company).

subsidiaries.

    You agree
that, during your employment by the Company or any subsidiary and through the
end of two (2) years after your cessation of employment with the Company or any
subsidiary, you will not solicit for employment or hire, in any business
enterprise or activity, any employee of the Company or any subsidiary who was
employed by the Company or a subsidiary during your period of employment by the
Company or a subsidiary provided that (a) the foregoing shall not be violated by
any general advertising not targeted at Company or subsidiary employees nor by
you serving as a reference upon request, and (b) you may solicit and hire former
employees of the Company or its subsidiaries who had ceased being such employees
for a period of at least six (6) months prior to any such solicitation or
hiring.

    You agree
that, during your employment by the Company or any subsidiary and through the
end of two (2) years after your cessation of employment with the Company or any
subsidiary, you will not solicit, in any business enterprise or activity, any
client, customer, third-party service provider, or vendor of the Company or any
subsidiary who was such during your period of employment by the Company or a
subsidiary to (i) cease being a client, customer, third-party provider or vendor
of the Company or any subsidiary or (ii) become a client, customer, third-party
provider or vendor of a Competing Business unless (without you having solicited
such person to cease such relationship) such person or entity ceased being a
client, customer, third-party provider or vendor of the Company or any
subsidiary for a period of at least six (6) months prior to such
solicitation.

    During
your employment by the Company or any subsidiary and indefinitely thereafter,
you shall not make, and the Company shall not authorize any of its employees to
make, any statements, written or oral, to any third party which disparage,
criticize, discredit or otherwise operate to the detriment of you (in the case
of statements made by the Company) or the Company, its present or former
officers, shareholders, directors and employees and their respective business
reputation and/or goodwill (in the case of statements made by you), provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 7(d) shall prohibit either party from (i)
making any truthful statements or disclosures required by applicable law
regulation or (ii) taking any action to enforce its rights under this Letter or
any other agreement in effect between the parties.

              During
      your employment by the Company or any subsidiary and indefinitely
      thereafter, you shall keep secret and retain in strictest confidence, any
      and all Confidential Information relating to the Company, except where
      your disclosure or use of such Confidential Information is in furtherance
      of the performance by you of your duties to the Company and not for
      personal benefit or the benefit of any interest adverse to the Company’s
      interests. For purposes of this Letter, “Confidential
      Information” shall mean any information including without
      limitation plans, specifications, models, samples, data, customer lists
      and customer information, computer programs and documentation, and other
      technical and/or business information, in whatever form, tangible or
      intangible, that can be communicated by whatever means available at such
      time, that relates to the Company’s current business or future business
      contemplated during your employment, products, services and development,
      or information received from others that the Company is obligated to treat
      as confidential or proprietary (provided that such confidential
      information shall not include any information that (a) has become
      generally available to the public or is generally known in the relevant
      trade or industry other than as a result of an improper disclosure by you,
      or (b) was available to or became known to you prior to the disclosure of
      such information on a non-confidential basis without breach of any duty of
      confidentiality to the Company), and you shall not disclose such
      confidential information to any Person (as defined below) other than the
      Company, except with the prior written consent of the Company, as may be
      required by law or court or administrative order (in which event you shall
      so notify the Company as promptly as practicable), or in performance of
      your duties on behalf of the Company. Further, this Section 7(e) shall not
      prevent you from disclosing Confidential Information in connection with
      any litigation, arbitration or mediation to enforce this Letter or other
      agreement between the parties, provided such disclosure is necessary for
      you to assert any claim or defense in such
  proceeding.

              Upon
      your termination of employment for any reason, you shall return to the
      Company all copies, reproductions and summaries of Confidential
      Information in your possession and use reasonable efforts to erase the
      same from all media in your possession, and, if the Company so requests,
      shall certify in writing that you have done so, except that you may retain
      such copies, reproductions and summaries during any period of litigation,
      arbitration or mediation referred to in Section 7(e)(1). All Confidential

      during your employment, and all business opportunities presented to you
      during your employment, shall be owned by and belong exclusively to the
      Company, provided that they reasonably relate to any of the business of
      the Company on the date of such creation, development, obtaining or

    The
parties acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Section 7 are a
reasonable and necessary protection of the immediate interests of the Company,
and any violation of these restrictions could cause substantial injury to the
Company and that the Company would not have entered into this Letter, without
receiving the additional consideration offered by you in binding yourself to any
of these restrictions. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by you of
any of these restrictions, the Company shall be entitled to apply to any court
of competent jurisdiction for an injunction restraining you from such breach or
threatened breach; provided, however, that the right to apply for an injunction
shall not be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other
available remedies for such breach or threatened breach.

     Administration

     

                  The
Committee has the sole power to exercise its good faith judgment to interpret
the Plan and this Letter and to act upon all matters relating this grant to the
extent provided in the Plan and not inconsistent with the terms of this Letter.
Any decision, determination, interpretation, or other action taken pursuant to
the provisions of the Plan and this Letter by the Committee shall be final,
binding, and conclusive.

         10.
     Section 409A

     

                 Notwithstanding
any provision of the Plan or this grant to the contrary, if you are a “specified
employee” as determined by the Board or the Committee, in accordance with
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or any regulations
or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), you shall not be
entitled to any payments of amounts which constitute deferred compensation
within the meaning of Section 409A upon a termination of your employment until
the earlier of (i) the date which is six months after your termination of
employment for any reason other than death (except that during such six (6)
month period you may receive total payments from the Company that do not exceed
the amount specified in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) or that constitute a
short-term deferral within the meaning of Section 409A), or (ii) the date of
your death.

     

                 Notwithstanding
any provision of the Plan or this Letter to the contrary, to the extent any
compensation or award which constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning
of Section 409A shall vest upon the occurrence of a Change of Control and such
Change of Control does not constitute a “change in the ownership or effective
control” or a “change in the ownership or a substantial portion of the assets”
of the Corporation within the meaning of Section 409A, then notwithstanding
such vesting, payment will be made to you on the earliest of (i) your
“separation from service” with the Company (determined in accordance with
Section 409A) or, if you are a specified employee within the meaning of
Section 409A, such later date as provided in the preceding paragraph,
(ii) the date payment otherwise would have been made, or (iii) the
date of your death.

     

    If any
provision of this Agreement or of any award of compensation, including equity
compensation or benefits would cause you to incur any additional tax or interest
under Section 409A, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to reform such
provision in such manner as to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the
original intent and economic terms of the applicable provision without violating
the provisions of Section 409A.

     

         11.
     Amendment

     

                 The
Committee may from time to time amend the terms of this grant in accordance with
the terms of the Plan in effect at the time of such amendment, but no amendment
which is unfavorable to you can be made without your written
consent.

     

                 The
Plan is of unlimited duration, but may be amended, terminated or discontinued by
the Board at any time. However, no amendment, termination or discontinuance of
the Plan will unfavorably affect this grant.

     

                  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Committee expressly reserves the right to amend the terms of the
Plan and this grant with your consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld
to the extent it determines that such amendment is necessary or desirable for an
exemption from or compliance with the distribution, acceleration, and election
requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
