                                         Inc. You will perform such duties, functions and responsibilities as are generally incident

		3.	AT WILL STATUS: Your employment with
                                         TheStreet is “at will.” This means that either you or TheStreet may terminate

                                         status as an “at will” employee cannot be changed or retracted, either orally
                                         or in writing, by any policy or conduct, unless you receive a document expressly stating
                                         that your employment is no longer at-will, which is signed both by you and the Company’s

                                         (or the preceding business day if the regular payday falls on a weekend or holiday) and
                                         will be subject to applicable withholding and taxes.

 

		5.	BONUS: In addition to your base salary,
                                         you are eligible to receive a bonus of up to 50% of the base salary you receive during
                                         the calendar year (the “Annual Bonus”), as determined by the Company in its
                                         sole discretion, which determination may be based on both your individual performance
                                         and the performance of the Company. Bonuses will be calculated, determined and paid out
                                         on an annual basis. Any bonus amount determined by the Compensation Committee of the
                                         Board of Directors of the Company (“Compensation Committee”) to be payable
                                         shall be paid not later than 60 days following the end of the year, provided that you
                                         must remain a full-time employee of the Company through the payment date in order to
                                         receive the payment. For 2016, your Annual Bonus will be guaranteed at a minimum of 50%
                                         of your potential bonus amount for the calendar year provided that you must remain a
                                         full-time employee of the Company with no notice by you of your intent to cease such
                                         employment through the payment date in order to receive the payment.

                                         and eligibility requirements of any relevant benefits plan documents. At present, these

		7.	EQUITY COMPENSATION: As soon as practicable
                                         following your start date, the Company will grant you an option to purchase 1,000,000
                                         shares of common stock of the Company (the “Option”). The Option will vest
                                         and become exercisable at the rate of 1/3 of the shares subject to the Option on the
                                         first anniversary of the Start Date and 1/36 of the original Option grant in monthly
                                         increments over the next 24 months thereafter on the anniversary of the grant date (or
                                         the last day of the month, if necessary). The per share exercise price for the Option
                                         will be the closing price of TheStreet common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market on the
                                         grant date. The Option will be a nonqualified and a non-plan grant intended to constitute
                                         an “inducement award” within the meaning, and subject to the requirements
                                         of, the corporate governance rules for the NASDAQ Stock Market. Details regarding this
                                         grant, including any terms and conditions will be set forth in a separate grant agreement
                                         (the “Notice of Grant”). In addition to the Option, subject to Compensation
                                         Committee approval and your continued service, you will be eligible for additional discretionary
                                         grants on July 1, 2017; July 1, 2018; and July 1, 2019 (the “Discretionary Grants”).
                                         The number of shares subject to a Discretionary Grant, if approved by the Compensation
                                         Committee, will be determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee taking
                                         into account the outstanding shares remaining in the 2007 Performance Incentive Plan,
                                         your achievement against certain performance based targets and any other factors that
                                         the Compensation Committee deems appropriate.

                                         be required to comply fully with the provisions of the TheStreet’s Insider Trading
                                         Compliance Program, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Compliance Manual and other
                                         compliance policies and procedures relevant to your position with the Company (the “Employment

                                         status and are merely meant to provide additional information relating to your job. As
                                         a condition of employment, every individual must also complete the Employment Eligibility
                                         Verification Form I-9 and provide documentation that establishes their identity and eligibility
                                         for employment. This offer is contingent upon the satisfactory completion of the background
                                         verification process.

SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

 

SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”),
dated as of July 6, 2016, by and between TheStreet, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “TheStreet”),
and David Callaway (“Mr. Callaway” and together with the Company, each a “Party” and collectively
the “Parties”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires that Mr.
Callaway enter into this Agreement, and Mr. Callaway desires to enter into this Agreement, on the terms and conditions set forth
herein;

 

WHEREAS, the Company granted Mr. Callaway
1,000,000 stock options pursuant to a stock option agreement, dated July 6, 2016 (the “Equity Agreements”);

 

WHEREAS, Mr. Callaway agreed to be bound
by certain restrictive covenants in the Equity Agreements; and

 

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree
as follows:

 

Section 1. Severance Benefits.

 

(a)         General Severance. In the
event that the Company (or Successor (as defined below), if applicable) terminates Mr. Callaway’s employment with the Company
(or Successor, if applicable) without Cause (as defined in the Equity Agreements), then Mr. Callaway shall be entitled to the following
severance benefits:

 

(A) pay Mr. Callaway an amount equal to twelve
(12) months of his base salary (at the annual rate in effect immediately prior to termination, but in no event less than Mr. Callaway’s
original annual salary of $500,000); and

 

(B) If Mr. Callaway elects continuation coverage
pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) for himself and his eligible
dependents, within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA, the Company will reimburse Mr. Callaway for (or pay directly)
the COBRA premiums for such coverage (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Mr. Callaway’s termination) until
the earlier of (x) a period of twelve (12) months from the last date of employment with the Company, or (y) the date upon which
he and/or his eligible dependents becomes covered under similar plans. COBRA reimbursements will be made by the Company to Mr.
Callaway consistent with the Company’s normal expense reimbursement policy and will be taxable to the extent required to
avoid adverse consequences to Executive or the Company under either Code Section 105(h) or the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act of 2010.; and

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Successor”
shall mean any person or entity that acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or into which the Company
is merged or combined with the Company ceasing to exist (or the successor to any such entity, whether by merger, assignment or
otherwise).

 

    1 

     

    

  

(b)        Payment of Benefits. Subject
to Section 15, if Mr. Callaway becomes entitled to a payment under Section 1(a)(A)(i), the Company (or Successor, if applicable)
shall pay Mr. Callaway the applicable amount in accordance with the Company’s then current payroll schedule, less applicable
taxes, commencing the pay period immediately following Mr. Callaway’s date of termination.

 

Section 2. Parachute Payment
Limitation.

 

Anything in this Agreement or the Equity Agreements
to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that:

 

(a)      the aggregate payments
or benefits to be made or distributed by the Company or its affiliates to or for the benefit of Mr. Callaway (whether paid or payable
or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) which are deemed to be parachute payments
as defined in Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) Section 280G or any successor thereto (the “Change of
Control Benefits”) would be deemed to include an “excess parachute payment” under Code Section 280G; and

 

(b)      if such Change of Control Benefits
were reduced to an amount (the “Non-Triggering Amount”), the value of which is one dollar ($1.00) less than
an amount equal to three (3) times Mr. Callaway’s “base amount,” as determined in accordance with Code Section
280G and the Non-Triggering Amount less the product of the marginal rate of any applicable state and federal income tax times the
Non-Triggering Amount would be greater than the aggregate value of the Change of Control Benefits (without such reduction) minus
(x) the amount of tax required to be paid by Mr. Callaway thereon by Code Section 4999 and further minus (y) the product of the
Change of Control Benefits times the marginal rate of any applicable state and federal income tax, then the Change of Control Benefits
shall be reduced to the Non-Triggering Amount. Any reduction made pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be made in accordance with
the following order of priority: (i) stock options whose exercise price exceeds the fair market value of the optioned stock (“Underwater
Options”), (ii) Full Credit Payments (as defined below) that are payable in cash, (iii) non-cash Full Credit Payments that
are taxable, (iv) non-cash Full Credit Payments that are not taxable, (v) Partial Credit Payments (as defined below) and (vi) non-cash
employee welfare benefits. In each case, reductions shall be made in reverse chronological order such that the payment or benefit
owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the excise tax will be the first payment or benefit to
be reduced (with reductions made pro-rata in the event payments or benefits are owed at the same time). “Full Credit Payment”
means a payment, distribution or benefit, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or otherwise, that if reduced in value by one dollar reduces the amount of the parachute payment (as defined in Code
Section 280G) by one dollar, determined as if such payment, distribution or benefit had been paid or distributed on the date of
the event triggering the excise tax. “Partial Credit Payment” means any payment, distribution or benefit that is not
a Full Credit Payment. In no event shall Mr. Callaway have any discretion with respect to the ordering of payment reductions.

 

    2 

     

    

  

Section 3. Certain Covenants.

 

In partial consideration for the right
to receive the benefits described in Section 1, Mr. Callaway agrees as follows. For avoidance of doubt, the covenants set forth
below are independent of the covenants set forth in the Equity Agreements and any covenants that may be set forth in any subsequent
written agreements between the Parties:

 

(a)      Non-competition. During
her/his employment by the Company or any subsidiary and through the end of twelve (12) months after the cessation of her/his employment
with the Company or any subsidiary, Mr. Callaway will not engage in a Competitive Activity (as defined below) with the Company
or any of its subsidiaries. As used herein, “Competitive Activity” means Mr. Callaway’s service as a director,
officer, employee, principal, agent, stockholder, member, owner or partner of, or Mr. Callaway permitting her/his name to be used
in connection with the activities of, any other business or organization anywhere in the United States, or in any other geographic
area in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries operates or with respect to which the Company provides financial news and
commentary coverage (or from which such other business or organization provides financial news and commentary coverage of the United
States), which engages in a business that competes with any business in which the Company or any subsidiary is engaged (a “Competing
Business.) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Callaway may work in a non-competitive business of a company which is carrying
on a Competing Business.

 

(b)      Non-solicitation of Employees.
During her/his employment by the Company or any subsidiary and through the end of one (1) year after the cessation of her/his employment
with the Company or any subsidiary, Mr. Callaway will not solicit for employment or hire, in any business enterprise or activity,
any employee of the Company or any subsidiary who was employed by the Company or a subsidiary during Mr. Callaway’s period
of employment by the Company or a subsidiary; provided that (a) the foregoing shall not be violated by any general advertising
not targeted at any Company or subsidiary employees nor by Mr. Callaway serving as a reference upon request, and (b) Mr. Callaway
may solicit and hire any one or more former employees of the Company or its subsidiaries who had ceased being such an employee
for a period of at least six (6) months prior to any such solicitation or hiring.

 

(c)      Non-solicitation of Clients
and Vendors. During her/his employment by the Company or any subsidiary and through the end of one (1) year after the cessation
of her/his employment with the Company or any subsidiary, Mr. Callaway will not solicit, in any business enterprise or activity,
any client, customer, licensee, licensor, third-party service provider or vendor (a “Business Relation”) of
the Company or any subsidiary who was a Business Relation of the Company or any subsidiary during Mr. Callaway’s period of
employment by the Company or any subsidiary to (i) cease being a Business Relation of the Company or any subsidiary or (ii) become
a Business Relation of a Competing Business unless (without you having solicited such third party to cease such relationship) such
third party ceased being a Business Relation of the Company or any subsidiary for a period of at least six (6) months prior to
such solicitation. 

 

    3 

     

    

  

(d)      The parties acknowledge that the
restrictions contained in this Section 3 are a reasonable and necessary protection of the immediate interests of the Company, and
any violation of these restrictions could cause substantial injury to the Company and that the Company would not have entered into
this Agreement, without receiving the additional consideration offered by Mr. Callaway in binding her/himself to these restrictions.
In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Mr. Callaway of any of these restrictions, the Company shall be entitled to apply
to any court of competent jurisdiction for an injunction restraining Mr. Callaway from such breach or threatened breach; provided,
however, that the right to apply for an injunction shall not be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other available
remedies for such breach or threatened breach.

notice, exercise of rights or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
given by overnight delivery service such as Federal Express or personal delivery against receipt, or mailed by registered or certified

Company to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise perform its obligations hereunder to Mr. Callaway upon
termination of Mr. Callaway’s employment (other than due to her death), Mr. Callaway or her legal representatives shall deliver
to the Company a written release, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”), which must
become effective no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following Mr. Callaway’s termination of employment (the “Release
Deadline”), and if not, Mr. Callaway will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under this Agreement. To become
effective, the Release must be executed by Mr. Callaway and any revocation periods (as required by statute, regulation, or otherwise)
must have expired without Mr. Callaway having revoked the Release. In addition, in no event will severance payments or benefits
be paid or provided until the Release actually becomes effective. If the termination of employment occurs at a time during the
calendar year where the Release Deadline could occur in the calendar year following the calendar year in which Mr. Callaway’s
termination of employment occurs, then any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement that would be considered deferred
compensation not exempt under Section 409A (as defined below) will be paid on the first payroll date to occur during the calendar
year following the calendar year in which such termination occurs, or such later time as required by (i) the date the Release becomes
effective, or (iii) Section 16, provided that the first payment shall include all amounts that would have been paid to Mr. Callaway
if payment had commenced on the date of Mr. Callaway’s termination of employment.

 

Section 16. Section 409A.

 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, no severance pay or benefits to be paid or provided to Mr. Callaway, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that,
when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits, are considered deferred compensation not exempt
under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Payments”) will be paid or otherwise provided until Mr. Callaway has a
“separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Similarly, no severance payable to Mr. Callaway, if any,
pursuant to this Agreement that otherwise would be exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)
will be payable until Mr. Callaway has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. For purposes
of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or any regulations
or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”).

 

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, if Mr. Callaway is a “specified employee” as determined by the Board or the Compensation
Committee of the Board in accordance with Section 409A, Mr. Callaway shall not be entitled to any Deferred Payments until the earlier
of (i) the date which is six (6) months and one (1) day after her/his termination of employment for any reason other than death
(except that during such six (6) month period Mr. Callaway may receive total payments from the Company that do not exceed the amount
specified in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) or that constitute a short-term deferral within the meaning of Section 409A), or
(ii) the date of her death.

 

    6 

     

    

  

(c) The foregoing provisions are intended
to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided
hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will
be interpreted to be exempt or so comply. If any provision of this Agreement or of any award of compensation, including equity
compensation or benefits would cause Mr. Callaway to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A, the parties agree
to negotiate in good faith to reform such provision in such manner as to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original
intent and economic terms of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A.

 

(d) To the extent that reimbursements
or in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of
Section 409A, (1) all reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which the expense was incurred by Mr. Callaway, (2) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be
subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (3) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits
provided in any calendar year shall not in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided,
in any other calendar year.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any compensation or award which constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning
of Section 409A shall vest upon the occurrence of a Change of Control and such Change of Control does not constitute a “change
in the ownership or effective control” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets”
of the Corporation within the meaning of Section 409A, then notwithstanding such vesting, payment will be made to Mr. Callaway
on the earliest of (i) Mr. Callaway’s “separation from service” with the Company (determined in accordance
with Section 409A) or, if Mr. Callaway is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A, such later date as provided
in paragraph (b) of this Section 16, (ii) the date payment otherwise would have been made, or (iii) Mr. Callaway’s
death.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have
executed this Agreement as of July 6,2016.

within the seven (7)-day period provided under Paragraph 1(b), the Company may, in addition to any other remedies it may have,
reclaim any amounts paid to him/her, and terminate any benefits or payments that are due pursuant to the termination provisions
of the Agreement, without waiving the release granted herein. In addition, in the event that ________ has failed to comply with
Section 3 of the Agreement or with Sections 11 and/or 12 of either or both of the equity Agreements (other than as a result of

arbitration proceeding.

 

(b)  ________ understands that
by entering into this Release s/he will be limiting the availability of certain remedies that s/he may have against the Company
and limiting also his/her ability to pursue certain claims against the Company.

 

(c)  The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the remedy at law available to ________ for breach of any of its post-termination obligations under the Agreement
or any of the Applicable Agreements or its obligations hereunder or thereunder would be inadequate and that damages flowing from
such a breach may not readily be susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges, consents
and agrees that, in addition to any other rights or remedies that ________ may have at law or in equity, ________ shall be entitled
to seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary or permanent injunction, or both, without bond or other security, restraining
the Company from breaching its post-termination obligations under the Agreement or any of the Applicable Agreements or its obligations
hereunder or thereunder. Such injunctive relief in any court shall be available to ________, in lieu of, or prior to or pending
determination in, any arbitration proceeding.

 

(d)  The Company understands
that by entering into this Release it will be limiting the availability of certain remedies that it may have against ________ and
limiting also its ability to pursue certain claims against ________.

 

4.             Severability Clause. In
the event any provision or part of this Release is found to be invalid or unenforceable, only that particular provision or part
so found, and not the entire Release, will be inoperative.

 

    11 

     

    

  

5.             Nonadmission. Nothing
contained in this Release will be deemed or construed as an admission of wrongdoing or liability on the part of the Company or
________.

 

6.             Governing Law. All matters
affecting this Release, including the validity thereof, are to be governed by, and interpreted and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the New York applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State.

 

7.             Notices. All notices or
communications hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 4 of the Agreement.
