does not inform you it will satisfy the Withholding Obligation by withholding shares subject to the Award, you (i) acknowledge and

Obligation shall be satisfied pursuant to this Section 5(a) to the fullest extent not otherwise satisfied pursuant to the provisions
of Section 5(b) hereof and (ii) further acknowledge and agree to the following provisions:



 


(i) You hereby irrevocably appoint
Morgan Stanley, or such other registered broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority as the Company
may select, as your agent (the “Agent”), and you authorize and direct the Agent to:


 


(1) Sell on the open market at
the then prevailing market price(s), on your behalf, as soon as practicable on or after the date on which the shares of Common Stock are
delivered to you pursuant to this Award in connection with the vesting of the RSUs, the number (rounded up to the next whole number) of
shares of Common Stock sufficient to generate proceeds to cover (A) the Withholding Obligation arising from the vesting of those
RSUs and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock to you that is not otherwise satisfied and (B) all applicable fees and commissions
due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent with respect thereto;


 






     


     


    

 


(2) Remit directly to the Company
and/or any Affiliate the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Withholding Obligation;


 


(3) Retain the amount required
to cover all applicable fees and commissions due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent, relating directly to the sale of the shares
of Common Stock referred to in clause (1) above; and


 


(4) Remit any
remaining funds to you.


 


(ii) You acknowledge that your election
to Sell to Cover and the corresponding authorization and instruction to the Agent set forth in this Section 5(a) to sell Common
Stock to satisfy the Withholding Obligation is intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and will be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) (your election to Sell to Cover
and the provisions of this Section 5(a), collectively, the “10b5-1 Plan”). You acknowledge that by accepting this
Award, you are adopting the 10b5-1 Plan to permit you to satisfy the Withholding Obligation. You hereby authorize the Company and the
Agent to cooperate and communicate with one another to determine the number of shares of Common Stock that must be sold to satisfy your
obligations hereunder.


 


(iii) You acknowledge that the Agent
is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of Common Stock at any particular price under this 10b5-1 Plan and that the Agent may effect
sales as provided in this 10b5-1 Plan in one or more sales and that the average price for executions resulting from bunched orders may
be assigned to your account. You further acknowledge that you will be responsible for all brokerage fees and other costs of sale associated
with this 10b5-1 Plan, and you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating
to any such sale. In addition, you acknowledge that it may not be possible to sell shares of Common Stock as provided for in this 10b5-1
Plan due to (i) a legal or contractual restriction applicable to you or the Agent, (ii) a market disruption, (iii) a sale
effected pursuant to this 10b5-1 Plan that would not comply (or in the reasonable opinion of the Agent’s counsel is likely not to
comply) with the Securities Act, (iv) the Company’s determination that sales may not be effected under this 10b5-1 Plan or
(v) rules governing order execution priority on the national exchange where the Common Stock may be traded. If the Agent is
not able to sell shares of Common Stock, you will continue to be responsible for the timely payment to the Company of all Withholding
Obligations.


 


(iv) You acknowledge that regardless
of any other term or condition of this 10b5-1 Plan, the Agent will not be liable to you for (A) special, indirect, punitive, exemplary,
or consequential damages, or incidental losses or damages of any kind, or (B) any failure to perform or for any delay in performance
that results from a cause or circumstance that is beyond its reasonable control.


 


(v) You agree to execute and deliver
to the Agent any other agreements or documents as the Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent
of this 10b5-1 Plan. The Agent is a third-party beneficiary of this Section 5(a) and the terms of this 10b5-1 Plan.


 






    2


     


    

 


(vi) Your election to Sell to Cover
and to enter into this 10b5-1 Plan is irrevocable. Upon acceptance of the Award, you have elected to Sell to Cover and to enter into this
10b5-1 Plan, and you acknowledge that you may not change this election at any time in the future. This 10b5-1 Plan shall terminate not
later than the date on which the Withholding Obligation arising from the vesting of your RSUs and the related issuance of shares of Common
Stock has been satisfied.


 


(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
before the time you receive a distribution of Common Stock pursuant to this award, the Company may inform you that it will satisfy the
Withholding Obligation by withholding from the common stock issuable to you.


 


(c) Unless the Withholding Obligation
of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver to you any Common Stock.


 


(d) In the event the Withholding
Obligation of the Company arises prior to the delivery to you of Common Stock or it is determined after the delivery of Common Stock to
you that the amount of the Withholding Obligation was greater than the amount withheld by the Company, you agree to indemnify and hold
the Company harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper amount.


 


6.            Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Participant ceases to be an Employee, director or Consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate by reason of Disability
while the Participant is an Employee, director or Consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate, the then unvested portion of the RSUs
shall vest as of the date of termination to the extent of a pro rata portion, through the date of the Participant’s termination
of service due to Disability, of the number of Shares that would have vested on the next vesting date had the Participant not become Disabled.
The proration shall be based upon the number of days in the current vesting period prior to the date of the Participant’s termination
of service due to Disability relative to the total number days in the vesting period.


 


7.            Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of the death of the Participant while an Employee, director or Consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate,
the then unvested portion of the RSUs shall vest as of the date of termination to the extent of a pro rata portion, through the date of
death, of the number of shares that would have vested on the next vesting date had the Participant not died. The proration shall be based
upon the number of days in the current vesting period prior to the Participant’s date of death relative to the total number of days
in the vesting period.


 


8.            Notwithstanding
Section 4, if a Change of Control occurs while Participant is an Employee, director or Consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate
and (a) the RSUs are not assumed or substituted on an equitable basis by a successor entity or (b) the RSUs are assumed or substituted
on an equitable basis by a successor entity and if within one year of the Change of Control the Participant’s service is terminated
by the successor entity not for Cause or the Participant terminates service for Good Reason, the RSUs shall vest in full in the event
of (a) on the date of the Change of Control and in the event of (b) on the date of termination of service.


 


“Good
Reason” means has the meaning given to it in any employment agreement with the Participant or, in the absence of an employment agreement
or a written consent of the Participant: (a) a material reduction in the Participant’s base salary; (b) a
material adverse change in a Participant’s duties, authority or responsibilities which causes such Participant’s position
with the Company to become of significantly less responsibility or authority than such Participant’s position prior to the Change
of Control; or (c) as a condition to the Participant remaining an Employee or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate, the Participant
is required to relocate from his or her principal place of business to a location that is 30 miles outside of the principal place
of business or such other area where the Participant performed services immediately prior to the Change of Control (exclusive of incidental
travel for or on behalf of the Company).

INCORPORATED TERMS AND CONDITIONS


 


AGREEMENT made as of the date
of grant set forth in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Units (the “Notice”) between The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc.
(the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, and the individual whose name appears on the Notice (the “Participant”).


 


WHEREAS, the Company has adopted The ONE Group
Hospitality, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), to promote the interests of the Company by providing an incentive
for Employees, directors and Consultants of the Company and its Affiliates;


 


WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions
of the Plan, the Company desires to grant to the Participant restricted stock units (“RSUs”) related to the Company’s
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, all on the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and


 


WHEREAS the Company and the
Participant understand and agree that any terms used and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


 


1.            Grant
of RSUs. The Company hereby grants to the Participant the number of RSUs set forth in the Notice which represents a contingent entitlement
of the Participant to receive shares of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions and subject to all the limitations set forth herein
and in the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.


 


2.            Vesting
of RSUs.


 


(a)            Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the RSUs shall vest as set forth in the Notice and is subject to
the other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. On the vesting date(s) set forth in the Notice, the Participant shall
be entitled to receive such number of shares of Common Stock equivalent to the number of RSUs provided that, on such vesting date, the
Participant is a director, Employee or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate. Such shares of Common Stock shall thereafter be delivered
by the Company to the Participant on a date determined by the Company within 60 days of the applicable vesting date and in accordance
with this Agreement and the Plan. The purchase price is $0.0001 per share payable if and when shares of Common Stock are issued by
the Company, which payment will be made by the Company on behalf of the Participant as compensation for the Participant’s prior
service to the Company and which amount will be reported as income on the Participant’s W-2 (or other applicable form) in the year
of payment.


 


(b)            Except
as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or in the Notice, if the Participant ceases to be, for any reason, a director, Employee or Consultant
of the Company or an Affiliate (the “Termination”) prior to a vesting date set forth in the Notice, then as of the date on
which such relationship is terminated with the Participant, all unvested RSUs shall immediately be forfeited to the Company and this Agreement
shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.


 


3.            Prohibitions
on Transfer and Sale. The RSUs (including any additional RSUs received by the Participant as a result of stock dividends, stock splits
or any other similar transaction affecting the Company's securities without receipt of consideration) shall not be transferable by the
Participant otherwise than (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order as defined by the Internal Revenue Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules thereunder.
Except as provided in the previous sentence, the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued, during
the Participant's lifetime, only to the Participant (or, in the event of legal incapacity or incompetence, to the Participant's guardian
or representative). The RSUs shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and
shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition
of the RSUs or of any rights granted hereunder contrary to the provisions of this Section 3, or the levy of any attachment or similar
process upon the RSUs shall be null and void.


 






    


     


    

 


4.            Adjustments.
The Plan contains provisions covering the treatment of RSUs and shares of Common Stock in a number of contingencies such as stock splits.
Provisions in the Plan for adjustment with respect to the RSUs and the related provisions with respect to successors to the business of
the Company are hereby made applicable hereunder and are incorporated herein by reference.


 


5.            Securities
Law Compliance. The Participant specifically acknowledges and agrees that any sales of shares of Common Stock shall be made in accordance
with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company currently has
an effective registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Common Stock to be granted
hereunder. The Company intends to maintain this registration statement but has no obligation to do so. If the registration statement ceases
to be effective for any reason or there is a restriction under foreign law, a Participant will not be able to transfer or sell any of
the shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement unless exemptions from registration or filings under applicable
securities laws are available. Furthermore, despite registration, applicable securities laws may restrict the ability of the Participant
to resell his or her Common Stock, including due to the Participant’s affiliation with the Company. The Company shall not be obligated
to either issue the Common Stock or permit the resale of any shares of Common Stock if such issuance or resale would violate any applicable
securities law, rule or regulation.


 


6.            Rights
as a Stockholder. The Participant shall have no right as a stockholder, including voting and dividend rights, with respect to the
RSUs subject to this Agreement.


 


7.            Incorporation
of the Plan. The Participant specifically understands and agrees that the RSUs and the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the
Plan will be issued to the Participant pursuant to the Plan, a copy of which Plan the Participant acknowledges he or she has read and
understands and by which Plan he or she agrees to be bound. The provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference.


 


8.            Tax
Liability of the Participant and Payment of Taxes. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that any income or other taxes due from
the Participant with respect to the RSUs or the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise sold shall
be the Participant’s responsibility. Without limiting the foregoing, the Participant agrees that if under applicable law the Participant
will owe taxes at each vesting date on the portion of the RSUs then vested the Company shall be entitled to immediate payment from the
Participant of the amount of any tax required to be withheld by the Company. Any taxes due shall be paid, at the option of the Company
as follows:


 


(a)            through
reducing the number of shares of Common Stock entitled to be issued to the Participant on the applicable vesting date in an amount equal
to the amount of minimum withholding tax due and payable by the Company. Fractional shares will not be retained to satisfy any portion
of the withholding tax. Accordingly, the Participant agrees that in the event that the amount of withholding tax owed would result in
a fraction of a share being owed, that amount will be satisfied by withholding the fractional amount from the Participant’s paycheck;


 


(b)            requiring
the Participant to deposit with the Company an amount of cash equal to the amount determined by the Company to be required with respect
to the statutory minimum of the Participant’s estimated total federal, state and local tax obligations or otherwise withholding
from the Participant’s paycheck an amount equal to the withholding tax due and payable; or


 






    2


     


    

 


(c)            if
the Company believes that the sale of shares can be made in compliance with applicable securities laws, authorizing, at a time when the
Participant is not in possession of material nonpublic information, the sale by the Participant on the applicable vesting date of such
number of shares of Common Stock as the Company instructs a registered broker to sell to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligation,
after deduction of the broker’s commission, and the broker shall be required to remit to the Company the cash necessary in order
for the Company to satisfy its withholding obligation. To the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed the Company’s tax withholding
obligation the Company agrees to pay such excess cash to the Participant as soon as practicable. In addition, if such sale is not sufficient
to pay the Company’s tax withholding obligation the Participant agrees to pay to the Company as soon as practicable, including through
additional payroll withholding, the amount of any tax withholding obligation that is not satisfied by the sale of shares of Common Stock.
The Participant agrees to hold the Company and the broker harmless from all costs, damages or expenses relating to any such sale. The
Participant acknowledges that the Company and the broker are under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price. In
connection with such sale of shares of Common Stock, the Participant shall execute any such documents requested by the broker in order
to effectuate the sale of shares of Common Stock and payment of the withholding obligation to the Company. The Participant acknowledges
that this paragraph is intended to comply with Section 10b5-1(c)(1(i)(B) under the Exchange Act.


 


The Company shall not deliver
any shares of Common Stock to the Participant until it is satisfied that all required withholdings have been made.


 


9.            Participant
Acknowledgements and Authorizations.


 


The Participant acknowledges

Company is not by the Plan or this Agreement obligated to continue the Participant as an Employee, director or Consultant of the Company
or of an Affiliate.


 


(b)            The
Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.

(d)            The
Plan is a voluntary program of the Company and future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not

(e)            The
value of the RSUs is an extraordinary item of compensation outside of the scope of any employment or service. As such, the RSUs are not
part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments. The future value of the shares of Common Stock is unknown and
cannot be predicted with certainty.


 


(f)            The
Participant (i) authorizes the Company and its Affiliates or, if the Participant is not employed by the Company or an Affiliate,
his or her employer, to furnish the Company and its Affiliates (and any agent administering the Plan or providing recordkeeping services)
with such information and data as it shall request in order to facilitate the grant of the RSUs, the issuance of the shares of Common
Stock underlying the RSUs, and the administration of the Plan, (ii) waives any data privacy rights he or she may have with respect
