This
OPTION CANCELLATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Snap
Interactive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Eric Sackowitz (the “Participant”),
effective as of May 5, 2017 (the “Effective Date”).


 


WHEREAS,
for the benefit of its key employees, key contractors, and outside directors, the Company currently sponsors the Snap Interactive,
Inc. 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”);


 


WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Incentive Plan, the Company granted stock options permitting the Participant to acquire up to five
hundred forty-eight thousand seven hundred ten (548,710) full shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share
(the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $0.19 per share (the “Current Option”),
and subject to the terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan and the Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement, with a date of grant
of October 7, 2016 (the “Award Agreement”);


 


WHEREAS,
the Company previously approved a 1-for-35 reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock, effective as of January 5,
2017 (the “Reverse Stock Split”);


 


WHEREAS,
pursuant to Article 11 of the Incentive Plan, as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Current Option was reduced to fifteen thousand six hundred and seventy eight (15,678) full shares of Common
Stock, and the exercise price was increased to $6.65; and


 


WHEREAS,
effective as of the Effective Date and in exchange for the New Option (defined below), the Company and the Participant desire
to cancel the entire Current Option as it relates to all fifteen thousand six hundred and seventy eight (15,678) full shares of
Common Stock, so that on and after the Effective Date, the entire Current Option and the Award Agreement shall be cancelled and
of no further force or effect.


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

1.1       Cancellation
of Option. In exchange for the consideration described in Section 1.2 below, the Participant hereby agrees that the
entire Current Option and the Award Agreement shall be cancelled, terminated, and of no further force or effect, effective as

the Current Option, the Award Agreement, or with respect to any Common Stock of the Company that could have been purchased upon
exercise of the Current Option under the Award Agreement.


 


1.2       New Option Award. In exchange for the Participant’s agreement to cancel
the Current Option, the Award Agreement, and any other rights, obligations, or liabilities of the Company thereunder, and the
release of claims set forth in Section 1.3 below, the Company hereby agrees to grant the Participant a new option to purchase
fifteen thousand six hundred and seventy eight (15,678) full shares of Common Stock, (a) with an exercise price of $3.36, which
is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant and (b) which shall be fully vested
on the date of grant (the “New Option”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan and
