held on June 17, 2016 and the resolution adopted at the meeting of the Board of Directors held on November 1, 2016:


 


 


	
        1. Aggregate Number of Stock Acquisition Rights

         
	15,223
	
        2. Class and Number of Shares to be Issued or Transferred upon Exercise

        upon exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right (hereinafter referred to as the “Number of Granted Shares”) shall be
        100 shares.

         

        The aggregate number of shares to be issued
        or transferred upon exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights shall be 1,522,300 shares of common stock of the Corporation (hereinafter
        referred to as the “Common Stock”). However, in the event that the Number of Granted Shares is adjusted pursuant to
        Condition 3 below, the aggregate number of shares to be issued or transferred upon exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights shall
        be adjusted to the number obtained by multiplying the Number of Granted Shares after adjustment by the aggregate number of the
        Stock Acquisition Rights as prescribed in Condition 1 above.

         





    	 



    	 



    

 


	3. Adjustment of Number of Granted Shares	(1) In the event that the Corporation conducts a stock split (including free distribution of shares (musho-wariate)) or consolidation of the Common Stock, the Number of Granted Shares shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:
	 	Number of

Granted Shares after adjustment	=	Number of

Granted Shares

before adjustment	x	
        Ratio of split or

        consolidation
	 
	
         

        (2) An adjustment to the Number of Granted
        Shares under the immediately preceding Item shall be made only with respect to the Number of Granted Shares for the Stock Acquisition
        Rights which have not been exercised at the time of the adjustment.  Any fraction
        less than one (1) share resulting from the adjustment shall be disregarded.

         

        (3) The effective date of the Number of Granted
        Shares after adjustment shall be the same day as the date on which the Exercise Price after adjustment becomes effective as provided
        for in Item (2) of Condition 7 with regard to the adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Condition 7 for the same reason
        as the adjustment of the Number of Granted Shares.

         

	
        (4) When the Number of Granted Shares is adjusted,
        the Corporation shall give notice of necessary matters to each holder of the Stock Acquisition Rights registered in the register
        of Stock Acquisition Rights, no later than the day immediately preceding the effective date of the Number of Granted Shares after
        adjustment; provided, however, that if the Corporation is unable to give such notice no later than the day immediately preceding
        such effective date, the Corporation shall promptly give such notice on or after such effective date.

         

	
        4. Payment in exchange for Stock Acquisition Rights

	November 22, 2016 (hereinafter referred to as the “Allotment Date”)
	
        6. Amount of Assets to be Contributed upon Exercise of Stock Acquisition
        Rights

         
	
        The amount of assets to be contributed upon
        exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights shall be the amount obtained by multiplying the amount to be paid per share to be issued
        or transferred upon exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights (hereinafter referred to as the “Exercise Price”) by the
        Number of Granted Shares. The Exercise Price is initially 3,364 yen.

         

        Provided, however, that if the closing price
        of the Common Stock in the regular trading thereof on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Price”)
        on the Allotment Date (if there is no Closing Price on such date, the Closing Price on the immediately preceding trading day) is
        higher than 3,364 yen, then the amount equal to the Closing Price on the Allotment Date shall be the initial Exercise Price.

         

	
        7. Adjustment of Exercise Price

         
	
        (1) In the event that the Corporation conducts
        a stock split (including free distribution of shares (musho-wariate)) or consolidation of the Common Stock after the Allotment
        Date of the Stock Acquisition Rights, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula, and any fraction
        less than one (1) yen resulting from the adjustment shall be rounded up to the nearest one (1) yen:

         

	 	Exercise 

Price after 

adjustment	=	Exercise 

Price before 

adjustment	×	1	 
	Ratio of split or consolidation
	
         

        (2) In the case that the Exercise Price is
        adjusted pursuant to the immediately preceding Item, the effective date of the Exercise Price after adjustment shall be as set
        forth below:

         

        The Exercise Price after adjustment shall become

        the case of a stock consolidation, on and after the effective date thereof.

         

        (3) In addition to the cases in Item (1) of
        this Condition where the Exercise Price is required to be adjusted, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in a manner deemed to
        be appropriate by the Corporation in the following cases.

         

        (i)       When
        the Exercise Price is required to be adjusted due to a merger, corporate split (split by new incorporation or by absorption) or
        reduction of the amount of capital of the Corporation.

         

        (ii)       In
        addition to Item (i) above, when the Exercise Price is required to be adjusted due to the occurrence of an event that causes or
        may cause a change in the total number of the issued Common Stock.

        or any plan for share transfer (kabushiki-iten) pursuant to which the Corporation is to become a wholly-owned subsidiary
        of another corporation, the Stock Acquisition Rights may not be exercised on and after the effective date of such consolidation,

	10. Restrictions under the U.S. Securities Act and Other Matters

        the registration pursuant to the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of any Common Stock to be issued or transferred upon
        exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights or to effect similar compliance under any similar laws. Notwithstanding anything herein
        to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue or cause to be issued or delivered any Common Stock pursuant to
        these terms and conditions unless and until the Corporation is advised by its legal counsel that the issuance and delivery of such

        laws, regulations of governmental authorities and the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded.

        The Corporation may, in its sole discretion,
        defer the effectiveness of the exercise of a Stock Acquisition Right granted hereunder to allow the issuance and transfer of the
        Common Stock upon such exercise to be made pursuant to registration or an exemption from registration or other methods for compliance
        available under federal or state securities laws. The Corporation shall inform the holder of such Stock Acquisition Right in writing
        of the decision to defer the effectiveness of the exercise of such Stock Acquisition Right granted hereunder. During the period
        that the effectiveness of the exercise of a Stock Acquisition Right has been deferred, the holder of such Stock Acquisition Right
        may, by a written notice, withdraw such exercise and obtain the refund of any amounts paid in connection with such exercise.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES FOR NON-US PARTICIPANTS


 


The Qualified Person confirms the following
matters pursuant to Article 13 of the Allocation Agreement.


 


1.       (Employment
Contract)


I understand that nothing in the
Sony Corporation Stock Acquisition Rights Plan (the “Plan”) terms form part of my employment contract, unless my employment
contract expressly states otherwise. Participation in the Plan does not create any right to continued employment.


 


I understand that neither the participation
in the Plan nor the grant of the Stock Acquisition Rights (hereinafter referred to as the “Option” in this Exhibit
4) creates any rights to participate in the Plan or to be granted any stock acquisition right, Option or award in the future. The
Plan may cease to be operated in the future although any existing Options granted under the Plan will continue in accordance with
the Allocation Agreement, Exhibits, and the Terms and Conditions.


 


I understand that I have no claim
or right of action in respect of any decision, omission or discretion which may operate to my disadvantage even if it is unreasonable,
irrational or might otherwise be regarded as being in breach of any duty, except as set out in the relevant Plan documentation.


 


I understand I have no right to
compensation for any loss in relation to the Plan, including any loss in relation to:


		·	a reduction of rights
or expectations under the Plan in any circumstances (including lawful or unlawful termination of employment);



		·	any exercise of a discretion
or a decision taken in relation to an award or to the Plan, or any failure to exercise a discretion or take a decision; and



		·	the operation, suspension,
termination or amendment of the Plan.



 


I understand that as the grant by
the Corporation is entirely discretionary, the benefits and rights acquired under the Plan do not constitute “base salary”
or other regular employment earnings and that nothing in the rules or operation of the Plan forms part of my contract of




    	 



    	 



    

employment or employment relationship,
which rights are separate from and not affected by, the Plan. I understand and agree that under no circumstances will the benefits
derived from the Plan be included as part of my employment earnings for purposes of calculating any of the Corporation’s
and/or the Sony group companies’ (including my employer) obligations to me for bonus, retirement, severance, or any other
such payments.


 


2.       (Data
Protection)


I consent to the collection, use
and disclosure by the Corporation and/or companies in the Sony group (including my employer) of any personal information or data
necessary for the administration of the Plan.


 


Subject to legislative requirements,
the information may be retained after my Options are exercised or cancelled. I understand that I can contact the Secretariat of
the Stock Option Plan, Corporate Human Resources, Sony Corporation.


 


I understand that the information
provided to the Corporation, the companies in the Sony group (including my employer), and/or to their duly authorized third party
designee(s) retained for the purpose of assisting the Corporation or the Sony group companies with administration of the Options
and provided in relation to the Plan will be used in relation to the administration of my Options under the Plan.


 


The Corporation and/or any of the
companies in the Sony group (including my employer) may give information to others (including people acting as agents of the Corporation
and/or any of the companies in the Sony group) in connection with the administration of the Plan on the understanding that they
will keep the information secure.


 


In order to process the information
the Corporation and/or companies in the Sony group (including my employer) may transfer the information to other countries that
may have a different level of statutory protection for my information than in my home country.


 


I understand that I have a right
to access certain information that the Plan holds about me and in order to exercise this right, I can contact the Secretariat of
the Stock Option Plan, Corporate Human Resources, Sony Corporation.


 


[Italy:


I understand that the conferral
of the information is optional and even if I refuse the




    	2 



    	 



    

conferral of the information, this
refusal brings me no disadvantage. I also understand that I have a right to object, in whole or in part, to the processing of the
information.]


 


3.       (Payment
of Tax, Social Security or Other Amounts)


I authorize the Corporation and
companies in the Sony group (including my employer) to withhold any amounts or make such arrangements as they consider necessary
to meet any liability due to taxation, social security or other amounts in respect of my participation in the Plan. These arrangements
may include the sale or reduction in number of any shares of the Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Shares”)
unless I, as the participant in the Plan, discharge the liability myself.


 


4.       (Tax
Filings)


By signing the Allocation Agreement,
I agree to:


		(1)	make all neccessary personal tax filings in the territory where I am tax resident in relation to
this Plan;



 


		(2)	make any required foreign exchange filings or notifications in relation to my holding of rights
under the Plan in the territory where I am foreign exchange resident; and



 


		(3)	comply with any requirements to notify my employer of my interests in rights relating to the Shares
(whether these requirements are based on the internal rules of the Corporation, the Sony group, my employer or applicable law).



 


5.       (Pensions)


I understand and agree that this
grant of Options to me will not affect my pension rights in any way. No additional contributions will be made by the Corporation
or by any other member of the Sony group (including my employer) as a result of my participation in this Plan. Any pension I may
receive will not be increased by my participation in this Plan.


 


6.       (Tax
Treatment)


I understand and agree that neither
the Corporation nor any member of the Sony group (including my employer) has arranged for any special tax treatment to apply to
these Options other than those expressly stated in the Allocation Agreement, if any. The Options are not tax qualified in any jurisdiction
unless otherwise expressly stated in the Allocation Agreement.
