COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

22ND
CENTURY GROUP, inc.

 

	Warrant Shares: [______]	Initial Exercise Date: July 27, 2016
	 	Issue Date: July 27, 2016

 

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE
WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, __________ or its assigns (the “Holder”)
is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on
or after July 27, 2016 (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on January 27,
2022 (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from 22nd Century Group, Inc.,
a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to ______ shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant
Shares”) of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise
Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

 

Section 1.            Definitions.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of July 24, 2016, among the Company and the purchasers signatory
thereto.

 

Section 2.             Exercise.

 

a)           Exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial
Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as
it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company)
of a duly executed facsimile copy (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto. Within three (3)
Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares
specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the
cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original
Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice
of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender
this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been
exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading
Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases
of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number
of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and
the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall
deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee,
by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase
of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may
be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

    	 	1	 

     

    

 

b)           Exercise
Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $1.00, subject to adjustment hereunder
(the “Exercise Price”).

 

c)           Cashless
Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained
therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole
or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number
of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

(A) = the last
VWAP immediately preceding the time of delivery of the Notice of Exercise giving rise to the applicable “cashless exercise,”
as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise (to clarify, the "last VWAP" will be the last VWAP as calculated over
an entire Trading Day such that, in the event that this Warrant is exercised at a time that the Trading Market is open, the prior
Trading Day's VWAP shall be used in this calculation);

 

(B) = the Exercise
Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

 

(X) = the
number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such
exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

If
Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9)
of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the
holding period of the Warrants being exercised may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrant Shares.  The Company
agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

 

“VWAP”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed
or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding
date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading
Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time)), (b)  if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market,
the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable,
(c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then
reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its
functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases,
the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers
of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of
which shall be paid by the Company.

d)           Mechanics
of Exercise.

 

i.            Delivery
of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer
Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository
Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant
in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or
resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via “cashless exercise”, and otherwise
by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee,
for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder
in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise
(such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and
Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for
all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless
exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance
of such shares, having been paid.

 

ii.         Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder
and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall
in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

iii.         Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)
by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

iv.         Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder,
if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder
is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise
purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated
receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount,
if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common
Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required
to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such
purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent
number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver
to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise
and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000
to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such
purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the
Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right
to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

v.           No
Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise
of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the
Company shall, pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise
Price.

 

vi.         Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or
other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the
Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder;
provided, however, that in the event Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder,
this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder
and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental
thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees
to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day
electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

vii.         Closing
of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this
Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

e)           Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise
any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after
exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other
Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, "Attribution
Parties")), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes
of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution
Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination
is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining,
nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii)
exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation,
any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence,
for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing
to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible
for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e)
applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together
with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion
of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this
Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties)
and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company
shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group
status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder
may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual
report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent
written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon
the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder
or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.
The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon
notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions
of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the
61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only be effective with regard to such Holder. The provisions
of this Section 2(e) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this
Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial
Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such
limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 2(e) shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3.             Certain
Adjustments.

 

a)           Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise
makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable
in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon
exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including
by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification
of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding
immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the
aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become
effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

b)          
[RESERVED]

 

c)           [RESERVED]

 

d)           Pro
Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other
distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital
or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of
a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "Distribution"),
at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution
to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock
acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation,
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such
record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in
such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution
would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate
in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution
to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if
ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

e)           Extraordinary
Transaction. If, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company
effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or
exchange offer by the Company is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their
shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory
share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(in any such case, an “Extraordinary Transaction”), then this Warrant will become the right thereafter to receive,
upon exercise, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon
the occurrence of such Extraordinary Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Extraordinary Transaction, the holder
of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of the relevant Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”)
in lieu of Common Stock. The aggregate Exercise Price for each Warrant will not be affected by any such Extraordinary Transaction,
but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting
the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice
as to the securities, cash or property to be received in an Extraordinary Transaction, then the Holder, to the extent practicable,
shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of its Warrant following such Extraordinary
Transaction. In addition, at the request of the Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant, any successor to the Company or surviving
entity in such Extraordinary Transaction shall issue to such Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and
evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof.
Each such new warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to
an Extraordinary Transaction.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

f)           Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall
be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

g)          Notice
to Holder.

 

i.            Adjustment
to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly
deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment
to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii.         Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the
Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the
Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares
of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection
with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted
into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email
to the Holder at its last facsimile number of email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, (unless
such notice is filed with the Commission, which in such case, no additional notice is required to be provided to the Holder), at
least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is
not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions,
redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the
Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable
upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such
notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified
in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant
to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the
date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 4.             Transfer
of Warrant.

 

a)           Transferability.
This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in
part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment
of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient
to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company
shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination
or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion
of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant
in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date the Holder
delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith,
may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

b)           New
Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the
Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by
the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such
division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants
to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial
issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant
thereto.

 

c)           Warrant
Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered
Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and
for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

    	 	9	 

     

    

 

Section 5.             Miscellaneous.

 

a)           No
Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. Except as set forth Section 3, this Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting
rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).

 

b)           Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant
Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of
the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate,
if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation,
in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

c)           Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or
granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding
Business Day.

 

d)           Authorized
Shares.

 

The Company covenants
that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient
number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.
The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged
with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase
rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares
may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market
upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment
for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer
occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

    	 	10	 

     

    

 

Except and to the
extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its
certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale
of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor
upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant
and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory
body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

Before taking any
action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise
Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any
public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

f)           Restrictions.
The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does
not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

g)           Nonwaiver
and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision
of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant,
which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to
cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings,
incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies
hereunder.

of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase
Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder
for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company
or by creditors of the Company.

j)            Remedies.
The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled
to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation
for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert
the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

k)           Successors
and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns
of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and
shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

 

m)           Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions
of this Warrant.

Directors of the Company.

Exhibit 10.01
PANDORA MEDIA, INC.
2011 Equity Incentive Plan

NOTICE OF PERFORMANCE AWARD GRANT

[Participant Name] 

You have been granted a performance award (the “Award”) comprised of performance-based restricted stock units (the “PSUs”), each representing one share of common stock of Pandora Media, Inc. (the “Company”) (each share of Company common stock, a “Share”), as follows:
	
			
	Date of Grant:
	 
	[Grant Date]

	 
	 
	 

	Total Number of PSUs Granted:
	 
	[Number of PSUs Granted]

	 
	 
	 

	Vesting/Exercise Schedule:
	 
	 

	 
	 
	 

	 
	 
	 

	 
	 
	 

	 
	 
	 

	 
	 
	 

So long as your Continuous Service Status continues, the PSUs shall vest as follows:  25% of the PSUs subject to the Award on the Date of Grant shall be eligible to vest on February 15, 2017, and the remainder of the PSUs subject to the Award on the Date of Grant shall be eligible to vest thereafter in 6.25% quarterly installments on each May 15, August 15, November 15 and February 15 (each date, a “Vesting Date”); provided, however, that the Average Trading Price (as defined below) must equal or exceed $20.00 in order for vesting to occur on the applicable Vesting Date.  If the Average Trading Price does not equal or exceed $20.00 on the applicable Vesting Date, then the portion of the Award that was scheduled to vest on such Vesting Date shall not vest and shall remain eligible for vesting on the next Vesting Date on which the Average Trading Price equals or exceeds $20.00.  Any portion of the Award that remains unvested as of the final Vesting Date shall be cancelled by the Company and forfeited.  For purposes of this Award, (i) “Average Trading Price” means the average of the closing transaction prices of a Share, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange or the principal national stock exchange on which a Share is then traded, for the 90 consecutive calendar days immediately preceding the applicable Vesting Date and (ii) if the Vesting Date occurs on day on which the New York Stock Exchange or the principal national stock exchange on which a Share is then 

1

traded is closed, then the Vesting Date shall be the first trading date immediately prior to the Vesting Date.  

Termination of Continuous Service Status Without a Change of Control:
If the Award is scheduled to vest in connection with your termination of Continuous Service Status under the Executive Severance and Change of Control Policy (the “Severance Policy”) and such termination of Continuous Service Status is not due to a Change of Control Termination (as defined in the Severance Policy), you shall continue to be eligible to vest based on the achievement of the performance-based vesting condition set forth in this Notice through the Vesting Dates that occur during the Severance Months (as defined in the Severance Policy). Following the expiration of the Severance Months, you shall cease to be eligible for any further vesting in the Award and the unvested PSUs shall be cancelled by the Company and forfeited. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Notice supersede Section 4(a)(v) of the Severance Policy, and this Award shall not convert to a monthly vesting schedule. In the event that a Change of Control occurs during the Severance Months, if the purchase price per Share in the transaction constituting such Change of Control equals or exceeds $20.00, then all unvested PSUs eligible for vesting through the Vesting Dates that occur during the Severance Months shall become immediately and fully vested and shall be settled within 30 days following such Change of Control; provided however, that if the purchase price per Share in such Change of Control transaction is less than $20.00, then, upon the Change of Control, unvested PSUs shall be cancelled by the Company and forfeited.  

Conversion to Time-Vested RSUs or Cancellation upon a Change of Control:
If (i) a Change of Control occurs, and (ii) the purchase price per Share in the transaction constituting such Change of Control equals or exceeds $20.00, then, upon the Change of Control, the unvested portion of the Award shall be converted into time-vested restricted stock units, which shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in this Notice, subject to your Continuous Service Status through the applicable Vesting Date but without taking into account the performance-based vesting condition set forth in this Notice; provided however, that if the purchase price per Share in such Change of Control transaction is less than $20.00, then, upon the Change of Control, unvested PSUs shall be cancelled by the Company and forfeited.  

Termination of Continuous Service Status Following a Change of Control:

If your Continuous Service Status is terminated within 12 months following the Change of Control due to a Change of Control Termination, then all unvested PSUs shall become immediately and fully vested and shall be settled within 30 days following such Change of Control Termination.

By accepting this Award, you agree that this Award is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Pandora Media, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and the Performance Award Agreement attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein.  In addition, you agree and acknowledge that your rights to any Shares underlying the PSUs will be earned only as provided above and that nothing in this Notice or the attached documents confers upon you any right to continue your employment or consulting relationship with the Company for any period of time, nor does it interfere in 

2

any way with your right or the Company’s right to terminate that relationship at any time, for any reason, with or without cause.

PANDORA MEDIA, INC.
2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

PERFORMANCE AWARD AGREEMENT

1.    Grant of Award.  Pandora Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to you (“Participant”) a performance award (the “Award”) of the number of PSUs (each representing a Share) set forth in the Notice of Performance Award Grant (the “Notice”), subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Pandora Media, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) adopted by the Company, which is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings defined in the Notice or the Plan, as applicable.  The terms and conditions of this Performance Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), to the extent not controlled by the terms and conditions contained in the Plan, are as follows:
1.Vesting.  The Award shall become vested on the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable performance-based vesting conditions and Participant remaining in Continuous Service Status on the applicable Vesting Date.  
2.  Forfeiture of Unvested Portion of Award.  Immediately upon termination of Participant’s employment for any reason (including death or disability), any unvested portion of the Award shall be forfeited without consideration.
3.  Conversion into Common Stock.  Subject to the Committee’s prior written certification of the achievement of the applicable performance-based vesting conditions set forth in the Notice, Shares will be issued on the applicable Vesting Date (or, to the extent not administratively feasible, as soon as practicable thereafter, but in any event no later than 30 days thereafter).  As a condition to such issuance, Participant shall have satisfied his or her tax withholding obligations as specified in this Agreement and shall have completed, signed and returned any documents and taken any additional action that the Company deems appropriate to enable it to accomplish the delivery of the Shares.  In no event will the Company be obligated to issue a fractional Share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares during any period when the Company determines that the conversion of a PSU or the delivery of Shares hereunder would violate any federal, state or other applicable laws and/or may issue Shares subject to any restrictive legends that, as determined by the Company’s counsel, is necessary to comply with securities or other regulatory requirements, and (ii) the date on which Shares are issued may, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, include a delay in order to provide the Company such time as it determines appropriate to address tax withholding and other administrative matters.

4.  Tax Treatment.  Any withholding tax liabilities (whether as a result of federal, state or other law and whether for the payment and satisfaction of any income tax, social security tax, payroll tax, or payment on account of other tax related to withholding obligations that arise by reason of the PSUs) incurred in connection with the PSUs becoming vested and Shares issued, or otherwise incurred in connection with the PSUs, may be satisfied in any of the following manners determined by the Committee (and the Committee may with notice to Participant require any of the following methods):  (i) by the sale by Participant of a number of Shares that are issued under the PSUs, which the Company determines is sufficient to generate an amount that meets the tax withholding obligations plus additional Shares to account for rounding and market fluctuations, and payment of such tax withholding to the Company, and such Shares may be sold as part of a block trade with other participants of the Plan; (ii) with the consent of the Committee in its discretion, by the Company withholding a number of Shares that would otherwise be issued under the PSUs that the Company determines have a fair market value equal to the minimum amount of taxes that the Company concludes it is required to withhold under applicable law; or (iii) by payment by Participant to the Company in cash or by check an amount equal to the minimum amount of taxes that the Company concludes it is required to withhold under applicable law.  Participant hereby authorizes the Company to withhold such tax withholding amount from any amounts owing to Participant to the Company and to take any action necessary in accordance with this paragraph.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participant acknowledges and agrees that he is responsible for all taxes that arise in connection with the PSUs becoming vested and Shares being issued or otherwise incurred in connection with the PSUs, regardless of any action the Company takes pursuant to this Section. 
5.  Restrictions on Transfer.  Participant understands and agrees that neither the Award nor any PSUs granted thereunder may be sold, given, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise hypothecated by the holder. 
6.  Certificates. Certificates, transfer agent book entries or other evidence of ownership as determined by the Company issued in respect of the Shares shall, unless the Committee otherwise determines, be registered in the name of Participant. The stock certificate, if any, shall carry such appropriate legends, and such written instructions shall be given to the Company transfer agent, as may be deemed necessary or advisable by counsel to the Company in order to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, any state securities laws or any other applicable laws.
7.  No Stockholder Rights.  Participant will have no voting, dividend or other rights as the Company’s other stockholders with respect to the Shares until issuance of the Shares.
8.  No Employment/Service Rights.  Neither this Agreement nor the grant of the PSUs hereby confers on Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the 

2

Company or any Subsidiary or interferes in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to determine the terms of Participant’s employment or service.
9.  Entire Agreement; Terms of Plan, Interpretations.  Participant acknowledges that he has received and reviewed a copy of the Plan.  This Agreement (including the Notice) contains the entire understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein.  This Agreement together with the Plan supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement and the terms and conditions herein set forth are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which shall be controlling.  All interpretations or determinations of the Committee and/or the Board shall be binding and conclusive upon Participant and his legal representatives on any question arising hereunder.
