 MORGAN HOTELS GROUP CO. 

2007 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN 

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
  

			
	Incentive Stock Option	  	This option is intended to be an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and will be interpreted accordingly. If you cease to be an employee of the Company, its parent or a subsidiary
(“Employee”) but continue to provide Service, this option will be deemed a nonstatutory stock option three months after you cease to be an Employee. In addition, to the extent that all or part of this option exceeds the $100,000 rule of
section 422(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, this option or the lesser excess part will be deemed to be a nonstatutory stock option.
		
	Vesting	  	 This option is only exercisable before it expires and then only with respect to the vested portion of the option. Subject to the preceding
sentence, you may exercise this option, in whole or in part, to purchase a whole number of vested shares not less than 100 shares, unless the number of shares purchased is the total number available for purchase under the option, by following the
procedures set forth in the Plan and below in this Agreement.
  
 Your right to the Stock
under this Incentive Stock Option Agreement vests as to [one-third (1/3rd) of the total number of shares of Stock covered by this grant, as shown on the cover sheet, each year on each of the first three one-year anniversaries of the Vesting Start
Date], provided you then continue in Service. The resulting aggregate number of vested shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and you cannot vest in more than the number of shares covered by this option.

 
 No additional shares of Stock will vest after your Service has terminated for any
reason.

		
	Term	  	Your option will expire in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the day before the 10th anniversary of the Grant Date, as shown on the cover sheet. Your option will expire earlier if your Service terminates,
as described below.
		
	Regular Termination	  	If your Service terminates for any reason, other than death, Disability or Cause, then your option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the 90th day after your termination date.
		
	Termination for Cause	  	If your Service is terminated for Cause, then you shall immediately forfeit all rights to your option and the option shall immediately expire.

  
 2 

			
	Death	  	 If your Service terminates because of your death, then your option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date
twelve (12) months after the date of death. During that twelve month period, your estate or heirs may exercise the vested portion of your option.
  

In addition, if you die during the 90-day period described in connection with a regular termination (i.e., a termination of your Service not on account of your
death, Disability or Cause), and a vested portion of your option has not yet been exercised, then your option will instead expire on the date twelve (12) months after your termination date. In such a case, during the period following your death up
to the date twelve (12) months after your termination date, your estate or heirs may exercise the vested portion of your option.

		
	Disability	  	If your Service terminates because of your Disability, then your option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date twelve (12) months after your termination date.
		
	Leaves of Absence	  	 For purposes of this option, your Service does not terminate when you go on a bona fide employee leave of absence that was approved by
the Company in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued Service crediting, or when continued Service crediting is required by applicable law. However, your Service will be treated as terminating 90 days after you went on employee
leave, unless your right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. Your Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends unless you immediately return to active employee work.

 
 The Company determines, in its sole discretion, which leaves count for this purpose, and
when your Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan.

		
	Notice of Exercise	  	 When you wish to exercise this option, you must notify the Company by filing the proper “Notice of Exercise” form at the address
given on the form. Your notice must specify how many shares you wish to purchase (in a parcel of at least 100 shares generally). Your notice must also specify how your shares of Stock should be registered (e.g. in your name only or in your and your
spouse’s names as joint tenants with right of survivorship). The notice will be effective when it is received by the Company.
  

If someone else wants to exercise this option after your death, that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do
so.

  
 3 

			
	Form of Payment	  	 When you submit your notice of exercise, you must include payment of the option price for the shares you are purchasing. Payment may be made
in one (or a combination) of the following forms:
  
 •    Cash,
your personal check, a cashier’s check, a money order or another cash equivalent acceptable to the Company.
  

•    Shares of Stock which have already been owned by you and which are surrendered to the Company. The value of the shares,
determined as of the effective date of the option exercise, will be applied to the option price.
  

•    By delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the
Company to sell Stock and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate option price and any withholding taxes.

		
	Withholding Taxes	  	You will not be allowed to exercise this option unless you make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the option exercise or sale of Stock acquired under this option. In the
event that the Company determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the exercise or sale of shares arising from this grant, the Company shall have the right to require such payments from
you, or withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate. Subject to the prior approval of the Company, which may be withheld by the Company, in its sole discretion, you may elect to satisfy this withholding
obligation, in whole or in part, by causing the Company to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to you or by delivering to the Company shares of Stock already owned by you. The shares of Stock so delivered or withheld must have an aggregate
Fair Market Value equal to the withholding obligation and may not be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements.
		
	Corporate Transaction	  	Notwithstanding the vesting schedule set forth above, upon the consummation of a Corporate Transaction, this option will become 100% vested (i) if it is not assumed, or equivalent options are not substituted for the options, by the
Company or its successor, or (ii) upon your Involuntary Termination within the 12-month period following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction. Notwithstanding any other provision in this agreement, if assumed or substituted for, the option
will expire one year after the date of termination.

  
 4 

			
		  	“Involuntary Termination” means termination of your Service by reason of (i) your involuntary dismissal by the Company or its successor for reasons other than Cause; or (ii) your voluntary resignation for Good Reason as
defined in any applicable employment or severance agreement, plan, or arrangement between you and the Company, or if none, then as set forth in the Plan following (x) a substantial adverse alteration in your title or responsibilities from those in
effect immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction; (y) a reduction in your annual base salary as of immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction (or as the same may be increased from time to time) or a material reduction in your annual target
bonus opportunity as of immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction; or (z) the relocation of your principal place of employment to a location more than 35 miles from your principal place of employment as of the Corporate Transaction or the
Company’s requiring you to be based anywhere other than such principal place of employment (or permitted relocation thereof) except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with your business
travel obligations as of immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction.
		
	Transfer of Option	  	 During your lifetime, only you (or, in the event of your legal incapacity or incompetency, your guardian or legal representative) may
exercise the option. You cannot transfer or assign this option. For instance, you may not sell this option or use it as security for a loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, this option will immediately become invalid. You may, however,
dispose of this option in your will or it may be transferred upon your death by the laws of descent and distribution.
  

Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor a notice of exercise from your spouse, nor is the Company
obligated to recognize your spouse’s interest in your option in any other way.

		
	Retention Rights	  	Neither your option nor this Agreement give you the right to be retained by the Company (or any Parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) in any capacity. The Company (and any Parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) reserve the right to
terminate your Service at any time and for any reason.
		
	Shareholder Rights	  	You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a shareholder of the Company until a certificate for your option’s shares has been issued (or an appropriate book entry has been made). No adjustments are made for dividends or
other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your stock certificate is issued (or an appropriate book entry has been made), except as described in the Plan.

  
 5 

			
	Forfeiture of Rights	  	If during your term of Service you should take actions in competition with the Company, the Company shall have the right to cause a forfeiture of your rights, including, but not limited to, the right to cause: (i) a forfeiture
of any outstanding option, and (ii) with respect to the period commencing twelve (12) months prior to your termination of Service with the Company and ending twelve (12) months following such termination of Service (A) a forfeiture of any gain
recognized by you upon the exercise of an option or (B) a forfeiture of any Stock acquired by you upon the exercise of an option (but the Company will pay you the option price without interest). Unless otherwise specified in an employment or other
agreement between the Company and you, you take actions in competition with the Company if you directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join or control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or are a proprietor,
director, officer, stockholder, member, partner or an employee or agent of, or a consultant to any business, firm, corporation, partnership or other entity which competes with any business in which the Company or any of its Affiliates is engaged
during your employment or other relationship with the Company or its Affiliates or at the time of your termination of Service. Under the prior sentence, ownership of less than 1% of the securities of a public company shall not be treated as an
action in competition with the Company.
		
	Adjustments	  	In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Stock, the number of shares covered by this option and the option price per share shall be adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) pursuant
to the Plan. Your option shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
		
	Applicable Law	  	This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the
substantive law of another jurisdiction.
		
	The Plan	  	 The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference.
  

This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this option. Any prior agreements, commitments or
negotiations concerning this option are superseded.

  
 6 

			
	Data Privacy	  	 In order to administer the Plan, the Company may process personal data about you. Such data includes but is not limited to the information
provided in this Agreement and any changes thereto, other appropriate personal and financial data about you such as home address and business addresses and other contact information, payroll information and any other information that might be deemed
appropriate by the Company to facilitate the administration of the Plan.
  
 By accepting
this option, you give explicit consent to the Company to process any such personal data. You also give explicit consent to the Company to transfer any such personal data outside the country in which you work or are employed, including, with respect
to non-U.S. resident Optionees, to the United States, to transferees who shall include the Company and other persons who are designated by the Company to administer the Plan.

		
	Consent to Electronic Delivery	  	The Company may choose to deliver certain statutory materials relating to the Plan in electronic form. By accepting this option grant you agree that the Company may deliver the Plan prospectus and the Company’s annual report to
you in an electronic format. If at any time you would prefer to receive paper copies of these documents, as you are entitled to, the Company would be pleased to provide copies.
		
	Certain Dispositions	  	If you sell or otherwise dispose of Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of this option sooner than the one year anniversary of the date you acquired the Stock, then you agree to notify the Company in writing of the date of sale
or disposition, the number of share of Stock sold or disposed of and the sale price per share within 30 days of such sale or disposition.
		
	Electronic Signature	  	All references to signatures and delivery of documents in this Agreement can be satisfied by procedures the Company has established or may establish for an electronic signature system for delivery and acceptance of any such
documents, including this Agreement. Your electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, your manual signature. Any such procedures and delivery may be effected by a third party engaged by the Company to provide
administrative services related to the Plan.

 By signing the cover sheet of this Agreement, you agree to all of the terms and conditions described above and in the Plan.

FORM OF LTIP UNIT VESTING AGREEMENT (DIRECTORS) 

LTIP UNIT VESTING AGREEMENT 

UNDER THE MORGANS HOTEL GROUP CO. 

2007 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN 
  

			
	Name of Grantee:	  	(“Grantee”)
	No. of LTIP Units:	  	
	Grant Date:	  	(the “Grant Date”)
	Final Acceptance Date:	  	(the “Final Acceptance Date”)

 Pursuant to the Morgans Hotel Group Co. 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the Limited
Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) of Morgans Group LLC (the “LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company, Morgans Hotel Group Co. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation and the
managing member of the LLC, hereby grants to the Grantee named above an Other Stock-Based Award (as defined in the Plan, referred to herein as an “Award”) in the form of, and by causing the LLC to issue to the Grantee, the number of
LTIP Units (as defined in the LLC Agreement) set forth above (the “Award LTIP Units”) having the rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption and
conversion set forth herein and in the LLC Agreement. Upon the close of business on the Final Acceptance Date, if this LTIP Unit Vesting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is accepted, the Grantee shall receive the number of LTIP Units
specified above, subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein, in the Plan and in the LLC Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings given to those terms in the Plan.

 1. Acceptance of Agreement. 

(a) Unless the Grantee is already a Member (as defined in the LLC Agreement), Grantee must sign, as a Member, and deliver to the LLC a
counterpart signature page to the LLC Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit A). Upon signing and delivery of the signature page, to the extent required, the Grantee shall be admitted as a Member of the LLC, as of the Grant Date, with
beneficial ownership of the number of LTIP Units specified above, the LLC Agreement shall be amended to reflect the issuance to the Grantee of the Award LTIP Units and the LLC shall deliver to the Grantee a certificate of the Company certifying the
number of LTIP Units then issued to the Grantee. Thereupon, the Grantee shall have all the rights of a Member of the LLC with respect to the number of LTIP Units specified above, as set forth in the LLC Agreement, subject, however, to the
restrictions and conditions specified herein and in the LLC Agreement. 
 (b) In order to confirm receipt of this Agreement, Grantee must
sign and deliver to the Company a copy of this Agreement. 

 2. Vesting of LTIP Units. 

(a) Except as provided in Sections 2(b) and 2(c) below, the Award LTIP Units shall vest one-third (1/3) each year on each of the first
three one-year anniversaries of the Grant Date, (each such date on which Award LTIP Units vest is referred to herein as a “Vesting Date”); provided that upon termination of Grantee’s cessation of service to the Company and its
Subsidiaries for any reason, the LTIP Units that have not yet vested shall, without payment of any consideration by the LLC, automatically and without notice terminate, be forfeited and be and become null and void, and neither the Grantee nor any of
his successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such LTIP Units. In the event Grantee becomes a consultant or employee, such change in status shall not be deemed a termination of
service with the Company at the time of such change in status or thereafter so long as the Grantee continues in one of such positions. 

(b) Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement, if a Corporate Transaction occurs and the LTIP Units subject to this
Agreement are not assumed or substituted for, any restrictions and conditions on all LTIP Units subject to this Agreement shall be deemed waived by the Company and all LTIP Units granted hereby that have not previously been forfeited shall
automatically become fully vested. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if assumed or substituted for, the award will expire one year after the date of termination. 

(c) Other Vesting Terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2, to the extent the Grantee is a party to
another agreement or arrangement with the Company that provides more favorable vesting provisions than provided for in this Agreement, the more favorable vesting terms of such other agreement or arrangement shall control. 

3. Distributions. Distributions on the LTIP Units shall be paid currently to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the LLC
Agreement. 
 4. Rights with Respect to LTIP Units. If (i) the Company shall at any time be involved in a merger, consolidation,
dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, exchange of shares, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company or a transaction similar thereto, (ii) any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination,
reclassification, recapitalization, significant repurchases of stock or other similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than regular cash dividends, shall occur or (iii) any
other event shall occur which in the judgment of the Administrator necessitates action by way of adjusting the terms of the Agreement, then and in that event, the Administrator shall take any such action as in its discretion shall be necessary to
maintain the Grantee’s rights hereunder so that they are substantially proportionate to the rights existing under this Agreement prior to such event, including but not limited to, adjustments in the number of LTIP Units then subject to this
Agreement. 
 5. Legend. The records of the LLC evidencing the Award LTIP Units shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by
the LLC in its sole discretion, to the effect that such LTIP Units are subject to restrictions as set forth herein, in the Plan and in the LLC Agreement. 

  
 2 

 6. Restrictions on Transfer. None of the Award LTIP Units shall be sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of, encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law (each such action a “Transfer”), or converted into Membership Units in accordance with the LLC
Agreement (a) prior to vesting, or (b) unless such Transfer is in compliance with all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), and such
Transfer is in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement; provided that, upon the approval of, and subject to the terms and conditions specified by, the Administrator, unvested Award LTIP Units may be Transferred to
members of the Grantee’s Immediate Family, which for purposes of this Agreement shall include family limited partnerships and similar entities which are primarily for the benefit of the Grantee and his or her Immediate Family, provided that the
transferee agrees in writing with the Company and the LLC to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In connection with any Transfer of Award LTIP Units, the LLC may require the Grantee to provide an opinion of counsel,
satisfactory to the LLC, that such Transfer is in compliance with all federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act). Any attempted Transfer of Award LTIP Units not in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this Section 6 shall be null and void, and the LLC shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any LTIP Units as a result of any such Transfer, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such Transfer and shall not
in any way give effect to any such Transfer of any LTIP Units. This Agreement is personal to the Grantee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will, the laws of descent and
distribution or the transfer provisions specified above in this Section 6. 
 7. Incorporation of Plan. The provisions of the
Plan are hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth herein. If and to the extent that any provision contained in this Agreement is inconsistent with the Plan, this Agreement shall govern. 

8. Investment Representation; Registration. The Grantee hereby makes the covenants, representations and warranties set forth on
Exhibit B attached hereto as of the date of acceptance of this Agreement and each Vesting Date. All of such covenants, warranties and representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Grantee. The Grantee shall
immediately notify the LLC upon discovering that any of the representations or warranties set forth on Exhibit B were false when made or have, as a result of changes in circumstances, become false. The LLC will have no obligation to register
under the Securities Act any LTIP Units or any other securities issued pursuant to this Agreement or upon conversion or exchange of the LTIP Units. 

9. Section 83(b) Election. The Grantee hereby agrees to make an election to include in gross income in the year of transfer the
Award LTIP Units pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and to supply the necessary information in accordance with the regulations promulgated thereunder. 

10. Amendment. The Grantee acknowledges that the Plan may be amended or discontinued in accordance with Section 12 thereof and
that this Agreement may be amended or canceled by the Administrator of the Plan, on behalf of the LLC, for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, provided that no such action shall impair the Grantee’s rights
under this Agreement without the Grantee’s written consent. 

  
 3 

 11. Withholding and Taxes. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes
includible in the gross income of the Grantee for income tax purposes or subject to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act withholding with respect to the Award LTIP Units, the Grantee will pay to the Company or, if appropriate, any of its
affiliates, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding the payment of, any United States federal, state or local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount, if any. The obligations
of the Company under this Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Grantee.

 12. No Obligation to Continue Services. Neither the Company, the LLC nor any subsidiary of any of them is obligated by or as a
result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue to have the Grantee provide services to it and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company, the LLC or any subsidiary of any of them to terminate its
relationship with the Grantee at any time. 
 13. Notices. Notices hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the LLC at its principal
place of business and shall be mailed or delivered to the Grantee at the address on file with the LLC or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing. 

14. Section 409A. If any compensation provided by this Agreement may result in the application of Section 409A of the Code,
the Company shall, in consultation with the Grantee, modify the Agreement in the least restrictive manner necessary in order to, where applicable, (a) exclude such compensation from the definition of “deferred compensation” within the
meaning of such Section 409A or (b) comply with the provisions of Section 409A, other applicable provision(s) of the Code and/or any rules, regulations or other regulatory guidance issued under such statutory provisions and to make
such modifications, in each case, without any diminution in the value of the payments to the Grantee. 
 15. Governing Law. This
Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, applied without regard to conflict of law principles. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding arising directly, indirectly or
otherwise in connection with, out of, related to or from this Agreement, any breach hereof or any action covered hereby, shall be resolved within the State of New York and the parties hereto consent and submit to the jurisdiction of the federal and
state courts located within the City of New York, New York. The parties hereto further agree that any such action or proceeding brought by either party to enforce any right, assert any claim, obtain any relief whatsoever in connection with this
Agreement shall be brought by such party exclusively in federal or state courts located within the State of New York. 
 16. Electronic
Signature. All references to signatures and delivery of documents in this Agreement can be satisfied by procedures the Company has established or may establish for an electronic signature system for delivery and acceptance of any such documents,
including this Agreement. The Grantee’s electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, Grantee’s manual signature. Any such procedures and delivery may be effected by a third party engaged by the Company

securities laws and, if such LTIP Units or Common Units are represented by certificates, such certificates will bear a legend to such effect, (B) the reliance by the LLC and the Company on such exemptions is predicated in part on the accuracy

Common Units for Shares, the Company currently intends to issue such Shares under the Plan and pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act, to the extent that (I) the Grantee is eligible to receive such Shares
under the Plan at the time of such issuance, (II) the Company has filed an effective Form S-8 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the issuance of such Shares. The Grantee hereby acknowledges that because of
the restrictions on transfer or assignment of such LTIP Units acquired hereby and the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the LTIP Units which are set forth in the LLC Agreement or this Agreement, the Grantee may have to bear the economic risk
of his, her or its ownership of the LTIP Units acquired hereby and the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the LTIP Units for an indefinite period of time. 

(v) The Grantee has determined that the LTIP Units are a suitable investment for the Grantee.

requested with respect to ownership of LTIP Units as the LLC may deem reasonably necessary to ascertain and to establish compliance with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to the LLC or to
comply with requirements of any other appropriate taxing authority.
