 RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT 
 THIS
STOCK AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the day of                     , by and between
CELSION CORPORATION (the “Corporation”), a Delaware corporation, and                     , an individual
employed by or performing services for the Corporation (“Grantee”). 
 ARTICLE 1 
 GRANT OF OPTION 
 Section 1.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and pursuant to the provisions of the Celsion Corporation 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Corporation hereby grants
to Grantee, as of the Grant Date specified in Attachment A, a Restricted Stock (the “Grant”) of the type stated in Attachment A to require all or any part of the number and class of shares of Common Stock set forth on Attachment A
(“Shares”). 
 ARTICLE 2 
 VESTING 
 Section 2.1 Vesting Schedule. Subject to earlier termination or acceleration in accordance with
the remaining provisions of this Agreement, the Plan or otherwise, the Grant will vest on the dates (each, a “Vesting Date”), and with respect to the number of Shares, specified in Attachment A, provided that the Shares subject to
vesting on a particular Vesting Date shall so vest only if Grantee shall have been in the continuous employ of or affiliation (as a consultant or director) with the Corporation from the Grant Date through such Vesting Date. 
 Section 2.2 Acceleration Upon Change of Control. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained herein, if this Agreement
is in effect at the time of the occurrence of a “Change of Control” event, all Grant granted hereunder not then vested shall automatically fully vest and become immediately exercisable simultaneously with the occurrence of such Change of
Control event. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” event, means (A) if any Person, or combination of Persons (as hereinafter defined), or any affiliate of any of the above, is or becomes the “beneficial
owner” (as defined in Rule l3d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total number of outstanding shares
of common stock of the Corporation; (B) if individuals who, on the date of this Agreement, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease, for any reason, to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided that any new
director whose election was approved by a vote of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Incumbent Directors (or directors theretofore approved by the Incumbent Directors) shall be treated as an Incumbent Director; or (C) the
Corporation sells substantially all of its assets to a purchaser other than a subsidiary. For purposes hereof, “person” shall mean any individual, partnership, joint venture, association, trust, or other entity, including a
“group” deemed to be so for purposes of Section 3(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 







 ARTICLE 3 
 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 
 Section 3.1 Unvested Portion. Subject to earlier
termination in accordance with the remaining provisions of this Agreement, the Plan or otherwise, the unvested portion of the Grant shall terminate upon termination of Grantee’s employment by or affiliation (as a consultant or director) with
the Corporation for any reason. 
 ARTICLE 4 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 4.1 Non-Guarantee of Employment. Nothing in the Plan or
this Agreement shall be construed as an employment, consulting or similar services contract between the Corporation (or an affiliate) and Grantee, or as a contractual right of Grantee to continue as an employee or, consultant to the Corporation (or
an affiliate) or in any similar capacity, or as a limitation of the right of the Corporation (or an affiliate) to discharge Grantee at any time. 
 Section 4.2 No Rights of Stockholder. Grantee (or, in the case of death or disability, Grantee’s Representative or Guardian) shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares that may be
issued upon the exercise of the Grant until such Shares have been fully paid for and duly issued thereto upon the due exercise of the Grant. 
 Section 4.3 Withholding of Taxes. The Corporation or any affiliate shall have the right to deduct from any compensation or any other payment of any kind (including withholding the issuance of Shares) due Grantee the
amount of any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld as the result of the vesting of the Grant or the disposition (as that term is defined in §424(c) of the Code) of Shares acquired pursuant to the vesting of the Grant. In
lieu of such deduction, the Committee may require Grantee to make a cash payment to the Corporation or an affiliate equal to the amount required to be withheld. If Grantee does not make such payment when requested, the Corporation may refuse to
issue any certificate for Shares until such time, if any, as arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for such payment have been made. 
 Section 4.4 Agreement Subject to Charter and Bylaws. This Agreement is subject to the Charter and Bylaws of the Corporation, and any applicable Federal or state laws, rules or regulations, including without limitation,
