AGREEMENT made as of

a Delaware corporation, and the individual whose name appears on the Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant Notice (the “Participant”).


 


WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Ruthigen,
Inc. 2013 Employee, Director and Consultant 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 Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant the number of RSUs set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant
Notice (the “Award”) 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
and Settlement of Award.


 


(a)        Vesting.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Award granted hereby shall vest on the applicable
Vesting Dates as set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant Notice and is subject to the other terms and conditions of
this Agreement and the Plan. 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 Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant 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.


 


(b)       Settlement.
The Participant shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall deliver such number of shares of Common Stock, equivalent to
the number of Vested RSUs on the first to occur of (i) the Date Certain as set forth herein, (ii) a Change of Control, (iii) the
Participant’s Separation from Service, (iv) the Participant’s death, and (v) the Participant’s Disability. The
Date Certain shall mean (x) with respect to the RSUs that become vested in the one-year period following the Date of Grant (through
and including the one year anniversary of the Date of Grant), the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the applicable
Vesting Date, (y) with respect to the RSUs that become vested between the first and second anniversaries of the Date of Grant (through
and including the second year anniversary of the Date of Grant), the date that is fifteen (15) months following the applicable
Vesting Date, and (z) with respect to the RSUs that become vested between the second and third anniversaries of the Date of Grant
(through and including the third year anniversary of the Date of Grant), the date that is six (6) months following the applicable
Vesting Date. 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.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


Disability means the Participant
is (i) unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment
that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months,
or (ii) by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be
expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period
of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering Employees of the Company.


 


Separation from Service
means the Participant’s termination of employment or service to the Company within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h)(1)
or (2), as applicable.


 


(c)          Effect
of a For Cause Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event the Company
or an Affiliate terminates the Participant’s employment or service, as the case may be, for Cause, all RSUs, whether vested
or unvested, and the right to receive all share of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(b) shall be forfeited to the Company immediately
as of the time the Participant is notified that his or her employment or service has been terminated for Cause or that he or she
engaged in conduct which would constitute Cause and this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.


 


[(d)          Change
of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined below), then, immediately prior
to the Change of Control, all of the RSUs subject to this Award that are then unvested shall be deemed vested as of immediately
prior to such Change of Control and the Participant shall receive upon such Change of Control such number of shares of Common Stock
equivalent to the number of RSUs subject to this Award.


 


Change of Control means the occurrence of
any of the following events:


 


		(i)	a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as
a whole;



 


		(ii)	any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other person, or any other corporate reorganization
or transaction (including the acquisition of capital stock of the Company), whether or not the Company is a party thereto, in which
the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, reorganization or transaction, own capital stock
and either:



 


		a.	represent directly, or indirectly through one or more entities, less than fifty percent (50%) of
the economic interests in or voting power of the Company or other surviving entity immediately after such consolidation, merger,
reorganization or transaction, or



 


		b.	do not directly, or indirectly through one or more entities, have the power to elect a majority
of the entire board of directors of the Company or other surviving entity immediately after such consolidation, merger, reorganization
or transaction; or



 




    	2



    	 



    

 


		(iii)	any stock sale or other transaction or series of related transactions, whether or not the Company is a party thereto, after
giving effect to which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s voting power is owned directly, or indirectly though
one or more entities, by any person and its “affiliates” or “associates” (as such terms are defined in
the rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).



 


For purposes of the definition of “Change
of Control”, the following definitions shall be applicable:


 


		(i)	The term “person” shall mean any individual, corporation or other entity and any group as such term is used in
Section 13(d) (3) or 14(d) (2) of the Exchange Act.



 


		(ii)	Any person shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner of any shares of capital stock of the Company:



 


		a.	which that person owns directly whether or not of record, or



 


		b.	which that person has the right to acquire pursuant to any agreement or understanding or upon exercise
of conversion rights, warrants, or options, or otherwise, or



 


		c.	which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly (including shares deemed owned through application
of clause (B) above, by an “affiliate” or “associate” (as defined in the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of that person, or



 


		d.	which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly (including shares deemed owned through application
of clause (B) above), by any other person with which that person or his “affiliate” or “associate” (defined
as aforesaid) has any agreement, arrangement, or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of capital
stock of the Company.



 


The outstanding shares of capital
stock of the Company shall include shares deemed owned through application of clause (ii) (b), (c), and (d) above, but shall not
include any other shares which may be issuable pursuant to any agreement or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options,
or otherwise, but which are not actually outstanding “Change of Control” shall be interpreted, if applicable, in a
manner, and limited to the extent necessary, so that it will not cause adverse tax consequences under Section 409A.]


 


3.          Prohibitions
on Transfer and Sale. This Award (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). This Award 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 this Award or of any rights granted hereunder contrary to the provisions
of this Section 3, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon this Award 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 this Award 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 this Award 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 Award 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


 




    	4



    	 



    

 


(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.

voluntary program of the Company and future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited

(e)          The
value of this Award is an extraordinary item of compensation outside of the scope of any employment or service. As such, the Award
is 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 Award and the administration
of the Plan, (ii) waives any data privacy rights he or she may have with respect to such information or the sharing of such information,
