      This
      Notice of Grant outlines certain terms and conditions of the award. Additional
      terms and conditions of the award are contained in the inVentiv Health, Inc.
      2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “ Plan ”).
      The
      Restricted Stock is granted under and will be governed by terms of 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 such 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, this award is conditioned upon the
      Grantee establishing an account with a brokerage firm selected by the Company
      for the purpose of receiving such shares.

(b)  [For
      executive officers who are Board members: All shares of Restricted Stock shall
      immediately become vested in the event that (i) a transaction or a series of
      related transactions is consummated involving (A) a sale, transfer or other
      disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, (B) the
      consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Corporation or (C) a sale
      or
      exchange of capital stock of the Corporation, in any case as a result of which
      the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such transaction or
      series of related transactions own, in the aggregate, less than a majority
      of
      the outstanding voting capital stock or equity interests of the surviving,
      resulting or transferee entity or (ii) the Grantee dies or becomes disabled
      while the Grantee is employed by the Corporation.]





[For
      other executive officers: In the event that the Grantee's employment with the
      Company or its successor company (or a subsidiary thereof) is terminated
“Without Cause” (as defined in the existing Employment Agreement between the
      Grantee and the Company) upon or before six (6) months following a Change of
      Control (as defined in the Plan) of the Company in which the successor company
      assumes or substitutes for the shares of Restricted Stock, all unvested shares
      of Restricted Stock will immediately become vested.





(c)  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.





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 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 therefor.





5. Regulatory
      Compliance .
      The
      issuance and delivery of any stock certificates representing 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).
