ICT Group, Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted the ICT Group, Inc. 2006 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which provides for grants to employees of stock awards in the form of restricted stock units with respect toshares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 (the “Common Stock”). The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company has decided to make a restricted stock unit grant to                     (the “Grantee”), as an inducement for the Grantee to promote the best interests of the Company and itsstockholders. This Grant Letter evidences the grant of restricted stock units to the Grantee, an employee, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Letter and the Plan. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in thisGrant Letter are used herein as defined in the Plan. 

1. Grant and Acceptance of RSUs. Subject to the terms andconditions set forth in this Grant Letter, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee effective as of the date of grant first stated above (the “Date of Grant”),                     restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Plan. The Grantee accepts the RSUs and agrees to be bound by theterms and conditions of this Grant Letter and the Plan with respect to the grant. 

2. RSU Account. Each RSUrepresents one hypothetical share of Company Common Stock, and not an actual share of Stock. The Company shall establish and maintain a RSU account, as a bookkeeping account on its records, for the Grantee and shall record in such account the numberof RSUs awarded to the Grantee. No shares of stock shall be issued to the Grantee at the time the grant is made, and the Grantee shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company, or the right to vote, withrespect to any RSUs recorded in the account. The Grantee shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this grant or the RSU account established for the Grantee. 

3. Vesting. The RSUs shall be subject to forfeiture until the restrictions on the RSUs lapse. The restrictions on the RSUs shalllapse, and the RSUs shall be payable in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, provided the Grantee continues to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company from the Date of Grant until theapplicable vesting date. The lapse of restrictions on the RSUs shall be cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the RSUs. If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional RSUs, the number of RSUs on which the restrictions lapse shall be roundeddown to the nearest whole RSU. 

4. Redemption. Unless a valid election is made pursuant to Section 5 below,when the restrictions on the RSUs lapse in accordance with Section 3 above (the “Redemption Date”), the Grantee 

shall receive payment with respect to such RSUs in the form of shares of common stock of the Company, as soon as practicable after the Redemption Date, andin no event, later than 2 1/2 months after the end of the calendar year in which the Redemption Date occurs.

5. Deferrals. 

(a) The Grantee may make an irrevocable election to defer redemption of any of the vested RSUs to a date that occurs after the applicable Redemption Date (the “Deferred Date”) bycompleting the deferral election form provided to the Grantee by the Committee, in such form as the Committee may prescribe or subsequently modify to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the“Code”). Any such election shall be made by such date as the Committee may prescribe, consistent with section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder. Failure to make an effective election by the date prescribed by the Committeewill preclude a Grantee from making a deferral. 

(b) The Grantee may make a subsequent election to redeferdistribution of any vested RSUs to a later date (the “Subsequent Deferred Date”) by completing a deferral election form provided to the Grantee by the Committee, in such form as the Committee may prescribe or subsequently modify to complywith the requirements of section 409A of the Code; provided that, (i) the subsequent election must be made at least twelve months prior to the date on which the first scheduled distribution was to occur, (ii) the subsequent election maynot take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made, and (iii) the first distribution with respect to which such election is made must be deferred for a period of not less than five (5) yearsfrom the date such payment would otherwise have been made. The Committee may prescribe limitations with respect to subsequent elections under this Section 5 as it deems necessary or appropriate, subject to the requirements of Section 409Aof the Code. 

6. Termination of RSUs. If the Grantee’s employment or service with the Company terminates forany reason before the restrictions on the RSUs lapse, any RSUs for which the restrictions have not lapsed shall automatically terminate and shall be forfeited as of the date of the Grantee’s termination of service. No payment shall be made withrespect to any RSUs that terminate as described in this Section 6. 

7. Payment of RSUs. 

(a) If and when the restrictions on the RSUs lapse (or, if later, upon the Deferred Date) the Company will issue to theGrantee one share of Company Common Stock for each RSU for which the restrictions have lapsed subject to satisfaction of the Grantee’s tax withholding obligations as described below. 

(b) All obligations of the Company under this Grant Letter shall be subject to the rights of the Company as set forth inthe Plan to withhold amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if applicable.
