		(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 Options 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 Options registered in the register of Options, 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

(musho-wariate)) or consolidation of the Common Stock after the Allotment Date of the Options, the Exercise Price shall
be adjusted in accordance with the following formula, and any fraction less than one (1) cent resulting from the adjustment shall
be rounded up to the nearest one (1) cent:

adjustment shall become effective, in the case of a stock split, on and after the day immediately following the record date for
such stock split, and in 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

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 an Option 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,




    	 -16-



     


    

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 or the Human Resources Department of Sony Corporation of America
(in accordance with the contact information provided to me under separate cover), if I have any queries in respect of this statement.


 


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 or the Human Resources Department of Sony Corporation of
America (in accordance with the contact information provided to me under separate cover).

[Italy:


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

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;

(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. The Options are not tax qualified in any jurisdiction.

        3       Udnyttelsestidspunktet
        eller udnyttelsesperioden eller information om hvorledes udnyttelsestidspunkt fastsættes 

         

        Optionerne modnes og kan udnyttes i
        tre omtrent lige store årlige rater, fra og med årsdagen for tildelingen.

         

         

        4       Tegningskursen
        eller information om hvorledes tegningskursen fastsættes 

         

        Beløbet som erlægges pr.
        aktie udstedt eller overdraget når Optionerne udnyttes (herefter ”Udnyttelseskursen”) er som udgangspunkt US$
        45.73.

        Tokyo Stock Exchange (herefter ”Slutkursen”) den 21. november 2017 (”Tildelingsdatoen”) (såfremt
        der ikke er nogen Slutkurs denne dato, vil Slutkursen på den umiddelbart forudgående handelsdag være gældende)

        af yen i ti (1o) på hinanden følgende handelsdage (eksklusiv dage hvor der ikke er nogen Slutkurs) umiddelbart forud
        for Tildelingsdatoen (herefter ”Referencekursen”) (eventuelle decimaler efter en sådan beregning mindre end en
        (1) cent skal rundes op til nærmeste hele cent) er højere end US$ 45.73, så skal beløbet svarende til
        US-dollar beløbet beregnet ved at dele Slutkursen på Tildelingsdatoen med Referencekursen (eventuelle decimaler efter
        en sådan beregning mindre end en (1) cent skal rundes op til nærmeste hele cent) skal udgøre den første
        Udnyttelseskurs. I så fald skal Selskabet oplyse en sådan første Udnyttelseskurs til den Kvalificerede Person
        ved fremsendelse af meddelelse herom (herefter ”Meddelelsen”) på eller omkring den 21. november 2017.

        rettigheder ved ansættelsesforholdets ophør

        (ii) Såfremt den Kvalificerede

        I henhold til bestemmelse 7 i Tildelingsaftalen
        kan arvingerne til den Kvalificerede Person udnytte Optionerne, som kan udnyttes i henhold til punkt (1) i denne bestemmelse pr.

        (hvis den sidste dag af denne et (1) års periode er en feriedag i Selskabet, vil den efterfølgende bankdag udgøre
        den sidste dag i perioden) i henhold til bestemmelserne i bestemmelse 7 i Tildelingsaftalen; og

         

         

         

         

         

         

        (iii) Såfremt den Kvalificerede
        Person mister sin position som bestyrelsesmedlem, direktionsmedlem eller medarbejder i Selskabet eller i Sony Koncernen på
        grund af andre for-hold:

         

        Den Kvalificerede Person kan udnytte de
        Modnede Optioner indtil og inklusive den sidste dag i et (1) års perioden, som begynder dagen efter Fortabelsesdagen (hvis
        den sidste dag af denne et (1) års periode er en feriedag i Selskabet, vil den efterfølgende bankdag udgøre
        den sidste dag i perioden), men kan dog ikke udnytte de Ikke Modnede Optioner på og efter Fortabelsesdagen dog forudsat at
        såfremt Selskabet tillader den Kvalificerede Person at udnytte de Ikke Modnede Optioner, modner alle de Ikke Modnede Optioner
        på Fortabelsesdatoen (eller på Startdatoen for Udnyttelsesperioden, såfremt Fortabelsesdatoen falder på
        en dato før Startdatoen for Udnyttelsesperioden), og arvingerne til den Kvalificerede Person kan udnytte de Ikke Modnede
        Optioner til og med den sidste dag i et (1) års perioden, som begynder dagen efter Fortabelsesdagen (hvis den sidste dag
        af denne et (1) års periode er en feriedag i Selskabet, vil den efterfølgende bankdag udgøre den sidste dag
        i perioden).

         

         

         

         

         

        (2)       Den
        Kvalificerede Person kan ikke udnytte Optionerne i følgende tilfælde:

         

        (i) Såfremt den Kvalificerede
        Person arbejder for en konkurrent til Selskabet eller Sony Koncernen som denne konkurrents direktionsmedlem, medarbejder eller
        konsulent, og en af de udvalgte Repræsentanter for Ledelsen i Selskabet vælger ikke at tillade en sådan Kvalificeret
        Persons udnyttelse af Optionerne tildelt til denne Kvalificerede Person.

         

        (ii) Såfremt den Kvalificerede
        Person af Selskabet anses for at have udøvet illoyale handlinger mod Selskabet eller Sony Koncernen.

         

        (iii) Såfremt den Kvalificerede
        Person misligholder bestemmelserne i denne Aftale.

         

        6       Økonomiske
        aspekter af deltagelse i aktieoptionsprogrammet 

         

        Aktieoptioner er risikobetonede værdipapirer,
        der er afhængige af aktiemarkedet. Som følge heraf er der ingen garanti for, at udnyttelsen af Optionerne udløser
        en fortjeneste. Tildelingen af Optionerne har ingen økonomiske konsekvenser for den Kvalificerede Person.

        Provided, however, that if the U.S.
        dollar amount obtained by dividing the closing price of Shares of the Corporation in the regular trading thereof on the Tokyo Stock
        Exchange (hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Price”) on November 21, 2017 (the “Allotment Date”) (if

        to any other events:

         

        The Qualified Person may exercise the
        Exercisable Options until and including the last day of the one (1) year period commencing on the date immediately following the
        Status Forfeit Date (if the last day of this one (1) year period falls on a holiday of the Corporation, the immediately preceding
        business day shall be the last day of such period), but may not exercise the Unexercisable Options on and after the Status Forfeit
        Date; provided, however, that if the Corporation allows the Qualified Person to exercise the Unexercisable Options, all of the
        Unexercisable Options shall become exercisable on the Status Forfeit Date (or the Commencement Date of Exercisable Period, if the
        Status Forfeit Date falls on a day before the Commencement Date of Exercisable Period) and the Qualified Person may exercise the
        Unexercisable Options until and including the last day of the one (1) year period commencing on the date immediately following

        such Qualified Person of the Options allocated to such Qualified Person.

         

        (ii) If the Qualified Person is regarded
        by the Corporation to have performed any act of disloyalty against the Corporation or the Sony Group Companies.

         

        (iii) If the Qualified Person violates

        6       The
        financial aspects of participating in the stock option program 

         

        Stock options are risky securities that are
        influenced by the share market. Consequently, there is no guarantee that the exercise of the Options will yield a profit. The grant
        of the Options has no financial consequences for the Qualified Person.]

        1.       Nombre
        d'Options attribuées à la Personne Qualifiée (telle que définie dans le présent Article)

        ou transférées lors de l'exercice, par la personne ayant signé le Contrat d'Attribution tel que définit
        ci-dessous à l'Article 16 (ci-après la « Personne Qualifiée »), de toutes les Options

        2.       Nombre
        total d'Options

         

        15,549 (le nombre maximum d'actions de
        la Société pouvant être émises lors de l'exercice de l'Option est de 1,554,900)

         

        3.       Classe
        et nombre d'actions devant être émises ou cédées lors de l'exercice de chaque Option

         

        100 actions ordinaires de la Société
        (ci-après les « Actions Ordinaires »)

         

         

        4.       Montant
        à payer par action devant être émise ou cédée lors de l'exercice des Options (ci-après

        Le Cours d'Exercice initial est de 45.73
        US$.

         

        Sous réserve, cependant, que si
        le montant en dollars US obtenu en divisant le cours de clôture des actions ordinaires de la Société dans le
        cadre des transactions régulières effectuées à la Bourse de Tokyo (ci-après le « Cours
        de Clôture ») à la Date d'Attribution (telle que définie à l'Article 6 des présentes
        Principales Modalités (ci-après les « Conditions »)) (en l'absence de Cours de Clôture
        à cette date, le Cours de Clôture du jour de bourse précédent) par la moyenne des taux de change cotés
        par une banque commerciale de premier plan à Tokyo pour la vente spot de dollars US par transfert télégraphique
        contre des yens pendant dix (10) jours de bourse consécutifs (à l'exclusion des jours n'ayant pas de Cours de Clôture)
        immédiatement avant la Date d'Attribution (ci-après le « Taux de Change de Référence »)
        (toute fraction inférieure à un (1) cent résultant de ce calcul sera arrondie au un (1) cent le plus proche)

        à la Date d'Attribution par le Taux de Change de Référence (toute fraction inférieure à un (1)
        résultant de ce calcul sera arrondie au un (1) cent) sera le Cours d'Exercice initial. Dans ce cas, la Société
        devra indiquer le Cours d'Exercice initial en question à la Personne Qualifiée en lui envoyant un avis (ci-après
        l'« Avis ») le ou aux alentours du, 21 novembre 2017. Les dispositions concernant le Cours d'Exercice initial

        sera le dernier jour de la période en question), mais ne pourra pas exercer les Options Non Exerçables à la
        Date de Renonciation à Statut ni par la suite; sous réserve, toutefois, que si la Société autorise
        l'héritier de la Personne Qualifiée à exercer les Options Non Exerçables, l'ensemble de celles-ci deviendront
        exerçables à la Date de Renonciation à Statut (ou à la Date de Commencement de la Période d'Exercice,
        si la Date de Renonciation à Statut tombe un jour précédant la Date de Commencement de la Période d'Exercice)
        et la Personne Qualifiée pourra exercer les Options Non Exerçables jusques et y compris le dernier jour de la période

        attribuées.

        que par les exécuteurs ou les administrateurs testamentaires de la Personne Qualifiée ou par toute personne ayant
        acquis le droit de les exercer en vertu du testament ou de la législation sur les successions, sous réserve qu'aucun
        transfert par testament ou en vertu de législation sur les successions d'une quelconque Option, ou du droit d'exercer une
        quelconque Option, ne pourra contraindre la Société à moins que cette dernière ait reçu (a)
        un avis écrit dans ce sens et une copie du testament et/ou les preuves qu'elle jugera nécessaires pour établir
        la validité du transfert et (b) un accord par lequel le cessionnaire s'engage à se conformer à l'ensemble

        être lié par les engagements de la Personne Qualifiée concernant l'octroi des Options. Les Options non acquises
        ni exerçables lors du décès de la Personne Qualifiée deviendront nulles.

        16.       Emission
        des ADR (Certificats Américains de Dépôt)

         

        (1)       La
        Société gère actuellement un plan d'ADR aux Etats-Unis, en vertu duquel des Certificats Américains
        de Dépôt (American Depositary Receipts ou « ADR ») représentent des actions ordinaires
        de la Société. Durant la période où la Société gère la cotation en bourse desADR
        aux Etats-Unis, les Personnes Qualifiées exerçant les Options recevront des ADR au lieu d'actions ordinaires de la
        Société, et ce comme décrit ci-dessous. Lors de l'exercice d'une Option, les actions ordinaires de la Société
        acquises par suite de cet exercice seront émises au nom du dépositaire ou de la personne qu'il aura désignée
        dans le cadre du Plan d'ADR de Sony au profit de la Personne Qualifiée. A réception des actions ordinaires de la
        Société suite à l'exercice d'une Option, le dépositaire dans le cadre du plan d'ADR de Sony émettra
        immédiatement et de manière automatique les ADR représentant les actions ordinaires en question de la Société
        au nom de la Personne Qualifiée concernée et livrera les ADR en question à celle-ci (ou sur un compte détenu
        au profit de celle-ci) dès que possible suite à la date effective de l'émission. Par souci de simplicité,
        toute référence faite dans le Contrat d'Attribution (tel que défini ci-dessous à l'Article 16 des Conditions)
        et dans les Conditions aux actions ordinaires de la Société sera considérée comme étant une
        référence aux ADR.

         

         

         

         

        (2)       Nonobstant
        l'Alinéa qui précède, si la Société décide de radier les ADR aux Etats-Unis, les Personnes
        Qualifiées exerçant les Options recevront des actions ordinaires de la Société et les Personnes Qualifiées
        ne peuvent pas soulever d'objections à l'encontre d'un tel traitement.

         

         

         

         

         

        17.       Traitement
        en Cas de Transaction d'Entreprise

        cas de quelconque transaction d'entreprise, à l'exclusion (a) d'une consolidation ou d'une fusion dont la société
        résultante n'est pas la Société ou (b) d'un échange de parts (kabushiki-kokan) ou d'un transfert de
        parts (kabushiki-iten) en vertu duquel la Société devient une filiale à 100% d'une autre société
        affectant la Société, y compris la dissolution ou la liquidation de la Société, la vente de tout ou
        d'une partie substantielle des actifs de la Société, de scission d'entreprise ou de toute autre transaction semblable,
        la Société pourra (x) exiger de l'entité résultant de la transaction en question qu'elle signe un accord
        prévoyant que tout détenteur des Options ait le droit, pendant la Durée et lors de l'exercice des Options,
        de recevoir la catégorie et la quantité d'actions et d'autres titres et actifs qui lui sont dus suite à ladite
        transaction par tout détenteur du nombre d'actions au titre desquelles les Options auraient pu être exercées
        immédiatement avant la transaction en question ou (y) empêcher l'exercice, avec prise d'effet immédiate lors
        de la réalisation de la transaction en question, de chaque Option en circulation immédiatement avant la transaction
        ou non (que l'option en question soit alors exerçable ou non).

         

        (2)       Si
        la Société signe un contrat définitif ou prend une décision par résolution de son Conseil d'Administration
        ou par approbation de ses actionnaires lors de l'assemblée des actionnaires visant à effectuer une ou plusieurs des
        transactions ou opérations décrites dans le paragraphe qui précède, la Société pourra
        fournir un préavis d'au moins vingt jours à la Personne Qualifiée à compter de la réalisation
        de la transaction ou de l'opération en question et donner à cette Personne Qualifiée la possibilité
        d'exercer ses Options (que les Options en question soient alors ou non acquises et exerçables), immédiatement avant,
        et sous réserve de, la réalisation de la transaction ou de l'opération en question.

         

        18.       Condition
        Résolutoire au Contrat d'Attribution conclu avec la Personne Qualifiée

         

        L'accord concernant l'attribution des Options

        en date du 20 novembre 2017 (ci-après le « Contrat d'Attribution »), expirera automatiquement, sans
        aucune procédure particulière, si la Personne Qualifiée n'occupe pas le poste d'administrateur, de CEO, directeur
        ou d'employé de la Société ou du Groupe Sony à la Date d'Attribution.

        lors de l'Exercice des Options

         

        (1)       Le
        montant de capital supplémentaire généré par l'émission d'actions lors de l'exercice des Options
        sera le montant obtenu en multipliant le plafond d'augmentation de capital, calculé conformément aux dispositions
        de l'Alinéa 1, Article 17 des Règles Comptables de la Société, au Japon (Company Accounting Ordinance
        of Japan), par 0,5, et toute fraction inférieure à un (1) yen résultant de ce calcul sera arrondie au un (1)

        (2)       Le

        Rien de ce qui figure ici ni dans le Contrat
        d'Attribution ne saurait être interprété comme donnant à la Personne Qualifiée un quelconque
        droit de recevoir des options ou d'acheter des actions ordinaires de la Société à l'avenir auprès de
        la Société ou de l'une quelconque de ses filiales. Rien de ce qui figure ici ni dans le Contrat d'Attribution ne
        saurait conférer à la Personne Qualifiée de quelconque droit de rester employée par la Société
        ou l'une quelconque de ses filiales, ni ne saurait constituer de contrat de travail ni interférer, de quelque manière
        que ce soit, avec le droit de la Société ou de ses filiales de réduire ou de modifier la rémunération
        de la Personne Qualifiée en vigueur au moment de l'octroi d'une quelconque Option ou autrement, ni de dénoncer le

        son emploi, avec ou sans justification. Rien de ce qui figure ici ni dans le Contrat d'Attribution ne saurait empêcher la
        Société, et la Société se réserve expressément le droit, de modifier les modalités
        des options d'achat d'actions ordinaires de la Société, le cas échéant, qui sont ou pourraient être
        accordées à l'avenir.

        Je comprends que rien de ce qui figure
        dans les modalités du Plan d’Options d’Achat d'Actions de la Sony Corporation (le « Plan »)
        ne fait partie de mon contrat de travail, sauf indication contraire figurant explicitement dans ce dernier. La participation au
        Plan ne donne aucun droit au maintien de mon emploi.

         

        Je comprends que ni la participation au
        Plan, ni l'octroi d'une Option, ne crée pour moi le droit de participer au Plan ni de me voir accorder des Options ni d'autres
        avantages à l'avenir. Le Plan pourra cesser de fonctionner à l'avenir, bien que toute Option existante accordée
        en vertu de ce Plan continuera conformément au Contrat d'Attribution, aux Annexes au Contrat d'Attribution et aux Modalités.

         

        Je comprends que je ne peux revendiquer
        aucun droit d’agir suite à une quelconque décision, omission ou mesure discrétionnaire qui pourrait
        intervenir à mon détriment, même si celle-ci s'avérait déraisonnable, irrationnelle ou pouvait
        être autrement considérée comme constituant une violation d'une quelconque obligation, hormis ce qui est prévu
        dans la documentation du Plan considéré.

         

        Je comprends que je n'ai aucun droit à
        compensation en cas de perte résultant du Plan, y compris de perte due à :

        ·        
        une réduction de mes droits ou de mes attentes en vertu du Plan, quelles qu'en soient
        les circonstances (y compris la dénonciation, légitime ou non, de mon contrat de travail) ;

        ·        
        l'exercice d'une mesure discrétionnaire ou d'une décision prise concernant un
        avantage ou concernant le Plan, ou le non exercice d'une mesure discrétionnaire ou la non-prise de décision ;
        ou

        ·        
        l'exploitation, la suspension, la dénonciation ou l'amendement du Plan.

         

        Je comprends que l'octroi de droits par
        la Société est entièrement discrétionnaire et que, par conséquent, les avantages et les droits
        acquis en vertu du Plan ne constituent ni du « salaire de base » ni une quelconque autre rémunération
        régulière au titre de l'emploi, et qu'aucun aspect du règlement ni du fonctionnement du Plan ne fait partie
        de mon contrat de travail ni de ma relation avec mon employeur, les droits résultant de ce contrat et de cette relation
        étant distincts du Plan et n'en étant nullement affectés. Je comprends et je reconnais qu'en aucun cas les
        avantages tirés du Plan ne seront inclus dans la rémunération liée à mon emploi aux fins de
        calculer les obligations de la Société et/ou du Groupe Sony (y compris mon employeur) en termes de primes, de retraite,
        d'indemnités de départ ou d'autres paiements de même nature.

         

        2.       (Protection
        des Données)

        Je consens à la collecte, à
        l'utilisation et à la divulgation, par la Société et/ou les sociétés du Groupe Sony (y compris
        mon employeur), de toutes informations ou données personnelles nécessaires à l'administration du Plan.

         

        Sous réserve des exigences légales,
        les informations pourront être conservées après exercice ou annulation de mes Options. Je comprends que je
        peux contacter le Secrétariat du Plan de Stock Options, les Ressources Humaines de la Société, la Sony Corporation
        ou le Service des Ressources Humaines de la Sony Corporation of America (en utilisant les coordonnées qui m’auront
        été communiquées sous pli séparé), si j'ai des questions concernant la présente déclaration.

         

        Je comprends que les informations fournies
        à la Société, aux sociétés du Groupe Sony (y compris mon employeur) et/ou à leurs représentants
        tiers dûment autorisés choisis aux fins d'aider la Société ou les sociétés du Groupe Sony
        à administrer les Options et fournies dans le cadre du Plan, seront utilisées pour l'administration de mes Options
        en vertu du Plan.

         

         

        La Société et/ou les sociétés
        du Groupe Sony (y compris mon employeur) pourront communiquer des informations à d'autres entités (y compris des
        personnes agissant en qualité d'agents de la Société et/ou l'une quelconque des sociétés du
        Groupe Sony) dans le cadre de l'administration du Plan, sous réserve que ces entités préservent la sécurité
        des informations en question.

         

        Pour traiter les informations, la Société
        et/ou les sociétés du Groupe Sony (y compris mon employeur) pourront transmettre les informations à d'autres
        pays qui pourront assurer un niveau de protection obligatoire de ces informations potentiellement différent de celui qui
        prévaut dans mon pays de résidence.

         

        Je comprends que j'ai le droit d'accéder
        à certaines informations que détient le Plan me concernant et que, pour exercer ce droit, je peux contacter le Secrétariat
        du Plan de Stock Options, les Ressources Humaines de la Société, la Sony Corporation ou le Service des Ressources
        Humaines de la Sony Corporation of America (en utilisant les coordonnées qui m’auront été communiquées
        sous pli séparé).

         

        3.       (Paiement
        des Taxes, Charges de Sécurité Sociale et Autres Montants)

        J'autorise la Société et
        les sociétés du Groupe Sony (y compris mon employeur) à retenir tout montant ou à prendre toutes mesures
        qu'elles jugeront nécessaires pour honorer toute dette relative aux impôts, aux charges de sécurité
        sociale et aux autres montants se rapportant à ma participation au Plan. Ces mesures pourront comprendre la vente ou la
        réduction du nombre d'actions de la Société (ci-après les « Actions ») à
        moins qu'en ma qualité de participant au Plan, je n'honore la dette moi-même.

         

        4.       (Déclarations
        Fiscales)

        En signant le Contrat d'Attribution, je
        m'engage à :

        (1)       effectuer
        toutes les déclarations fiscales personnelles obligatoires sur le territoire où je suis résident fiscal au
        titre de ce Plan ;

         

        (2)       effectuer
        toutes déclarations ou notifications relatives au contrôle des changes concernant les droits que je détiens
        en vertu du Plan sur le territoire où je suis résident assujetti au contrôle des changes ; et à

         

        (3)       me
        conformer à toutes mes obligations d'informer mon employeur de mes avoirs en termes de droits relatifs aux Actions (que
        ces obligations soient basées sur le règlement interne de la Société, du Groupe Sony, de mon employeur
        ou de la législation en vigueur).

         

        5.       (Retraites)

        Je comprends et reconnais que cet octroi
        d'Options en ma faveur n'affectera en aucune manière mes droits à la retraite. Aucune contribution supplémentaire
        ne sera faite par la Société ni par aucun autre membre du Groupe Sony (y compris mon employeur) par suite de ma participation
        à ce Plan. Toute retraite que je percevrai ne sera en aucun cas augmentée par ma participation à ce Plan.

         

        6.       (Traitement
        Fiscal)

        Je comprends et accepte que ni la Société
        ni aucun membre du Groupe Sony (y compris mon employeur) n'a prévu de traitement fiscal particulier s'appliquant à
        ces Options. Les Options ne font l'objet d'aucune fiscalité particulière dans aucune juridiction quelle qu'elle soit.

        to as the “Qualified Person”) of all Options allocated to the Qualified Person.)

         

        2.       Aggregate

        15,549 (the maximum number of the shares

        Tokyo Stock Exchange (hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Price”) on the Allotment Date (as defined in Article

        such initial Exercise Price to the Qualified Person by sending a notice (hereinafter referred to as the “Notice”) on
        or about November 21, 2017. The provisions with respect to the initial Exercise Price in the Notice shall automatically supersede
        the provisions hereto.

         

        5.       Period
        during which the Options may be exercised

        amalgamation or merger (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing corporation),
        or in the event of a resolution being passed at a general meeting of shareholders of the Corporation (or, where a resolution of
        a general meeting of shareholders is not necessary, at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Corporation) for any agreement
        for share exchange (kabushiki-kokan) or any plan for share transfer (kabushiki-iten) pursuant to which the Corporation is to become

        (i) If the Qualified Person is subject

        The Qualified Person may not exercise the Options on and after the day on which he/she forfeits the status as a director, corporate

        (iii) If the Qualified Person forfeits
        the status as a director, corporate executive officer, officer or employee of the Corporation or of the Sony Group Companies due

        The Qualified Person may exercise the
        Exercisable Options until and including the last day of the one (1) year period commencing on the date immediately following the
        Status Forfeit Date (if the last day of this one (1) year period falls on a holiday of the Corporation, the immediately preceding
        business day shall be the last day of such period), but may not exercise the Unexercisable Options on and after the Status Forfeit
        Date; provided, however, that if the Corporation allows the Qualified Person to exercise the Unexercisable Options, all of the

        (i) If the Qualified Person works for
        a competitor of the Corporation or of the Sony Group Companies as such competitor’s officer, employee or consultant, and
        any of the designated Representative Corporate Executive Officer(s) of the Corporation determines not to permit the exercise by
        such Qualified Person of the Options allocated to such Qualified Person.

         

        (ii) If the Qualified Person is regarded
        by the Corporation to have performed any act of disloyalty against the Corporation or the Sony Group Companies.

         

        (iii) If the Qualified Person violates
        any provision of the Agreement.

         

        (5)       The

        Securities Trading or any other similar policy maintained by Sony group companies (hereinafter referred to as the “Sony Group
        Companies”) and applicable to the Qualified Person, as in effect from time to time.

         

        11.       Prohibition
        of Disposition

         

        (1)       Except
        as provided in Paragraph (2) below, the Options, whether vested or unvested, are nontransferable by the Qualified Person.

         

        (2)       Upon
        the death of the Qualified Person, outstanding Options that are vested and exercisable and granted to such Qualified Person may
        be exercised only by the executors or administrators of the Qualified Person’s estate or by any person or persons who shall
        have acquired such right to exercise by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, provided that no transfer by will or the
        laws of descent and distribution of any Option, or the right to exercise any Option, shall be effective to bind the Corporation
        unless the Corporation shall have been furnished with (a) a written notice thereof and a copy of the will and/or such evidence
        as the Corporation may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and (b) an agreement by the transferee to comply
        with all the terms and conditions of the Options that are or would have been applicable to the Qualified Person (other than any
        terms and conditions relating to employment with the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries) and to be bound by the acknowledgements
        made by the Qualified Person in connection with the grant of the Options. Options that are not vested and exercisable at the death
        of the Qualified Person will terminate.

        12.       Repurchase/Purchase
        of Options

         

        Mandatory repurchase of the Options
        is not applicable. In addition, in no circumstances shall any Qualified Person request the Corporation to purchase the Options
        held by him/her.

         

        13.       Restrictions
        on Acquisition of Options through Transfer

         

         

        The Options cannot be acquired through
        transfer (other than any transfer of Options that are vested and exercisable upon the death of a holder of the Options to such
        holder’s estate or beneficiaries), unless such acquisition is expressly approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

         

         

        14.       Place
        where Applications for Exercise of Options are Made

         

        Sony Corporation of America, Human Resources,
        or its duly authorized designee

         

         

        15.       Payment
        Handling Place on Exercise of Options

         

        Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation,
        Head Office (or any successor bank of such bank from time to time and/or any successor office of such office)

         

         

        16.       Issuance
        of ADRs

         

         

        (1)       The
        Corporation currently maintains an American Depositary Receipt program in the United States pursuant to which American Depositary
        Receipts or “ADRs” represent shares of common stock of the Corporation. During the time the Corporation maintains the
        listing of ADRs on a stock exchange in the United States, the Qualified Persons who exercise the Options will generally receive
        ADRs in lieu of shares of common stock of the Corporation as follows. Upon exercise of an Option, shares of common stock of the
        Corporation acquired upon the exercise of such Option shall be issued in the name of the depositary or its nominee under the Sony
        American Depositary Receipt Program for the benefit of the Qualified Person. Upon receipt of shares of common stock of the Corporation
        upon the exercise of an Option, the depositary under the Sony American Depositary Receipt Program shall immediately and automatically
        issue ADRs representing such shares of common stock of the Corporation in the name of the applicable Qualified Person and shall
        deliver such ADRs to such Qualified Person (or to an account held for the benefit of such Qualified Person) as soon as practicable
        following the effective date on which such issuance occurs. For simplicity, all references in the Allocation Agreement (as defined
        below in Article 16 of the Conditions) and the Conditions to shares of common stock of the Corporation will be deemed to also refer
        to ADRs.

         

        (2)       Notwithstanding
        the immediately preceding Paragraph, if the Corporation determines to delist ADRs from a stock exchange in the United States, the
        Qualified Persons who exercise the Options will receive shares of common stock of the Corporation, and the Qualified Persons shall
        not raise any objections to such handling.

         

         

         

         

        17.       Treatment
        in Event of Corporate Transaction

         

        (1)       In
        the event of any corporate transaction excluding (a) a consolidation, amalgamation or merger in which the Corporation is not the
        continuing corporation, or (b) share exchange (kabushiki-kokan) or share transfer (kabushiki-iten) pursuant to which the Corporation
        is to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of another corporation involving the Corporation, including a dissolution or liquidation
        of the Corporation, a sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets, a corporate split, or any other similar
        transaction, the Corporation may (x) cause the entity resulting from such transaction to execute an agreement providing that a
        holder of the Options shall have the right during the Term and upon the exercise of the Options to receive the class and amount
        of shares and other securities and property receivable upon such transaction by a holder of the number of shares in respect of
        which the Options could have been exercised immediately prior to such transaction or (y) prevent from being exercised, effective
        immediately upon the occurrence of such transaction, each Option outstanding immediately prior to such transaction (whether or
        not then exercisable).

         

         

        (2)       In

        shall be construed to give the Qualified Person any right or entitlement to receive options to purchase common stock of the Corporation
        in the future from the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries. Nothing contained herein or the Allocation Agreement shall confer
        upon the Qualified Person any right to continue in the employment of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or constitute any
        contract or agreement of employment or interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or its subsidiaries to reduce or
        modify a Qualified Person’s compensation in existence at the time of the granting of any Option or otherwise, or to terminate
        a Qualified Person’s employment or change the Qualified Person’s position or the terms of employment with or without
        cause. Nothing contained herein or the Allocation Agreement shall prevent the Corporation from, and the Corporation expressly reserves
        the right to, modify the terms and conditions of options to purchase common stock of the Corporation, if any, that are or may be
        granted in the future.

         

         

         

         

        Exhibit

         

        REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES FOR NON-US
        PARTICIPANTS

         

        The Qualified Person confirms the following
        matters pursuant to Article 17 of the Conditions.

         

        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 an Option 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 to the Allocation Agreement, 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 or the Human Resources Department of Sony Corporation of America
        (in accordance with the contact information provided to me under separate cover), if I have any queries in respect of this statement.

         

         

        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 or the Human Resources Department of Sony Corporation of America (in accordance
        with the contact information provided to me under separate cover).

         

        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. The Options are not tax qualified in any jurisdiction.]
