MONSTER WORLDWIDE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby notifies [Participant Name] (the “Participant”) of a grant of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) by the Committee to the Participant on [Grant Date] (the “Grant Date”) pursuant to the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Notice and the Plan. All RSUs covered by this Grant Notice are intended to qualify for favorable treatment under French tax and social security legislation related to “attribution d’actions gratuites” (as defined by Article L. 225-197-1 to 5 of the French Commercial Code), with respect to Participants who are residents of France for tax purposes. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Plan.

1.  Grant of RSUs . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Grant Notice and the Plan, the Participant has been granted [Number of RSUs] RSUs. The RSUs shall vest and payment in respect of such RSUs shall be made, if at all, in accordance with Section 2 hereof.

2. Vesting .

(a) The RSUs granted to the Participant shall vest and payment in respect of such number of RSUs shall be made as to the percentage of the RSUs indicated on the dates specified below (each an “RSU Vesting Date”), provided that the Participant has remained in the continuous employment of the Company or any of its Affiliates from the Grant Date through and including each applicable RSU Vesting Date:

Any fractional RSUs resulting from the strict application of the incremental percentages set forth above will be disregarded and the actual number of RSUs becoming vested on any specific RSU Vesting Date will cover only the full number of RSUs determined by applying the relevant incremental percentage.

(b) In the event that during the period of the Participant’s employment with the Company or one of its Affiliates after the Grant Date:

(i) the Participant dies, or

(ii) the Participant incurs a Disability,

(such events are collectively referred to as “Acceleration Events”), then all outstanding unvested RSUs shall immediately vest as of the date of the applicable Acceleration Event, subject to Section 2(d) below, and shall be settled in shares of Common Stock that are not subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Section 2(e) , as required by article L. 225-197-3 and article L. 225-197-1-I, 5 ^th and 6 ^th paragraphs of the French Commercial Code, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as required by article L. 225-197-3 of the French Commercial Code, in the event of a Participant’s death, unless a beneficiary shall notify the Company of such beneficiary’s entitlement to the Participant’s RSUs within six months following the death of the Participant, all RSUs that vested as a result of the Participant’s death shall be forfeited.

(c) In the event that during the period of the Participant’s employment with the Company or one of its Affiliates after the Grant Date a Change in Control shall occur, then the Committee may provide for one or more of the following: (i) that all outstanding unvested RSUs shall immediately vest on the date of such Change in Control, subject to Section 2(d) below, and shall be settled in shares of Common Stock that are not subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Section 2(e) , (ii) that all of the terms and provisions of this Grant Notice shall continue in effect without change as a result of such Change in Control, (iii) that each RSU be converted into the right to receive the same consideration with respect to each RSU as the stockholders of the Company receive for each share of Common Stock upon the Change in Control except that the Committee may provide that the consideration may be subject to the same vesting conditions and restrictions on transfer to which the Common Stock would have been subject pursuant to Section 2(e) , and/or (iv) any of the other events referenced in Section 6(k) of the Plan.

(d) In the event that any calendar date on which vesting is purportedly scheduled pursuant to the terms of Sections 2(a), 2(b) or 2(c) above is not a Business Day (as defined below), the vesting shall automatically be delayed until the first Business Day following that calendar date. “Business Day” means a date on which commercial banks in New York, New York are open for general business.

(e) On or as soon as reasonably practicable following each RSU Vesting Date, the Company shall deliver to the Participant’s account with the third party administering the Company’s equity awards programs (currently Charles Schwab) (the “Administrator”) one share of Common Stock with respect to each whole RSU that vests on such RSU Vesting Date. The Common Stock delivered to the Participant’s account with the Administrator shall be “non-transferable” (referred to as the “Non-Transferable Stock”) during the period beginning on each RSU Vesting Date until the expiration of the two-year period following such RSU Vesting Date. Such Non-Transferable Stock may be maintained in “book-entry” form, registered in the Participant’s name on the books of the Company and no actual certificates therefore shall be delivered by the Company, or the Company may make other arrangements with the Administrator with respect to the form of the Non-Transferable Stock as the Company deems necessary to comply with the provisions of this Grant Notice. It is a condition to the Company’s obligation to deliver any evidence of the shares of Common Stock to the Participant pursuant to this Grant Notice that the Participant shall have opened an account with the Administrator. For purposes of this Grant Notice, “non-transferable” shall mean that the

Participant is not allowed to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Non-Transferable Stock. The Participant shall have all rights of a stockholder in respect of the Non-Transferable Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote the Non-Transferable Stock and the right to receive any dividends on the Non-Transferable Stock, except that any and all shares of Common Stock or other securities received by the Participant with respect to the Non-Transferable Stock as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, split-off, recapitalization, capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, merger or consolidation shall be deemed to be Non-Transferable Stock subject to all of the applicable provisions of this Grant Notice and shall cease being Non-Transferable Stock at the same time as the Non-Transferable Stock giving rise to such additional shares or securities received.

3.  Certain Changes; Rights as a Stockholder . The number and class of shares of Common Stock or other securities which are distributable to the Participant with respect to any RSU covered by this Grant Notice shall be adjusted proportionately or as otherwise appropriate to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, spin-off, split-off, split-up, recapitalization, capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, merger or consolidation, or any like capital adjustment, or the payment of any stock dividend, and/or to reflect a change in the character or class of shares covered by the Plan arising from a readjustment or recapitalization of the Company’s capital stock, in each case as determined by the Committee. The Participant shall not have any rights to cash dividends, voting rights or other rights of a stockholder with respect to the RSUs covered by this Grant Notice unless and until the Company delivers the Non-Transferable Stock to the Participant’s account in accordance with Section 2(e) .

4.  Definitions . “Disability” or “Disabled” means that, in the determination of the Committee, the Participant is totally and permanently disabled, as established by the Labor doctor (“médecin du travail”) and corresponding to the second or third rank as provided under Article L. 341-4 of the French social security code. “Specific Action” means a specific action not included in, but authorized under, the Plan and which is required to comply with the French tax and social security legislation related to “attribution d’actions gratuites” (as defined by Article L. 225-197-1 to 5 of the French Commercial Code).

5.  No Employment Rights; Termination of Employment . Nothing in this Grant Notice shall give the Participant any right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Affiliate or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment of the Participant. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 2(b) and 2(c) hereof, RSUs that are not vested as of the date the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates or ceases for any reason or no reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including, without limitation, termination or cessation of employment with or without cause or arising out of or in connection with a reduction in force, sale or shutdown of certain operations, or otherwise), shall immediately and automatically terminate and be forfeited in their entirety.

6.  Plan Provisions . The provisions of the Plan shall govern, and if or to the extent that there are inconsistencies between those provisions and the provisions hereof, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. A copy of the Plan is available on the Company’s global Intranet Web site, currently located at http://insideworldwide.com . For the avoidance of doubt, if this Grant Notice provides for a Specific Action authorized under the Plan, then this Grant Notice and not the Plan shall control as to the Specific Action to be taken.

7.  Withholding . In the event that prior to the date that any withholding tax is due hereunder, the Participant has not provided the Company with notice (which may be by written notice or by an election made via the website operated by the Administrator) (the “Payment Notice”) to the effect that the Participant will provide the Company (or the Administrator on the Company’s behalf) payment of the amount, if any, deemed necessary by the Company in its reasonable discretion to enable the Company and its Affiliates to satisfy the minimum federal, foreign or other tax withholding or similar obligations of the Company and its Affiliates with respect to the shares of Common Stock (and/or any other items which may be distributable to the Participant pursuant to Section 2(c), 2(e) or 3 hereof), or in the event the Participant provides the Payment Notice but does not timely deliver payment of the appropriate amount to the Company (or the Administrator on the Company’s behalf), then the Company shall satisfy the minimum federal, foreign or other tax withholding or similar obligation of the Company and its Affiliates with respect to such vesting by withholding the number of whole shares of Common Stock (on and valued as of the applicable date) (and/or other items which may be distributable to the Participant on the such date pursuant to Section 2(c), 2(e) or 3 hereof) sufficient to satisfy such minimum withholding and other obligations.

Any and all such rights shall not be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, encumbrance except as otherwise expressly permitted herein.

11.  Securities Laws; Insider Trading .

Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that Affiliates of the Company may resell Common Stock only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The Participant understands and agrees that any and all transactions involving shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company must comply with applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies, including but not limited to the Company’s policy regarding insider trading, which policy, among other things, prohibits transactions involving shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company by individuals who have material non-public information relating to the Company.
