RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT -

INCORPORATED TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

AGREEMENT made as of
the date of grant set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant Notice between Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”),
a Delaware corporation, and the individual whose name appears on the Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant Notice (the “Participant”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Intercept
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), to promote the interests
of the Company by providing an incentive for Employees and Consultants of the Company and its Affiliates;

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to
the provisions of the Plan, the Company desires to grant to the Participant restricted stock units (“RSUs”) related
to the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), in accordance with the provisions
of the Plan, all on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company
and the Participant understand and agree that any terms used and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in
the Plan.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.            Grant
of Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant the number of RSUs set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant
Notice (the “Award”) which represents a contingent entitlement of the Participant to receive shares of Common Stock,
on the terms and conditions and subject to all the limitations set forth herein and in the Plan, which is incorporated herein by
reference. The Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

 

2.            Vesting
of Award.

 

(a)          Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Award granted hereby shall vest as set forth in the Restricted
Stock Unit Award Grant Notice and is subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. On each vesting
date set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant Notice, the Participant shall be entitled to receive such number of shares
of Common Stock equivalent to the number of RSUs set forth opposite such vesting date provided that, on such vesting date, the
Participant is a director, Employee or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate. Such shares of Common Stock shall thereafter
be delivered by the Company to the Participant within five days of the applicable vesting date and in accordance with this Agreement
and the Plan. The purchase price is $0.001 per share payable if and when shares of Common Stock are issued by the Company,
which payment will be made by the Company on behalf of the Participant as compensation for the Participant’s prior service
to the Company and which amount will be reported as income on the Participant’s W-2 (or other applicable form) in the year
of payment.

 

(b)          Except
as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, if the Participant ceases to be, for any reason, a director, Employee or Consultant of
the Company or an Affiliate (the “Termination”) prior to a vesting date set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award
Grant Notice, then as of the date on which such relationship is terminated with the Participant, all unvested RSUs shall immediately
be forfeited to the Company and this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

 

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

    	 

    	 

    

 

(d)          Change
of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent specifically provided to the contrary in any employment agreement
between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, in the event of (i) a Change of Control (as defined below) and the Participant’s
service with the Company, the acquiring or succeeding corporation or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing is terminated by such
entity for any reason other than for Cause within 12 months of the Change of Control, then, upon such termination, all of the RSUs
subject to this Award that are then unvested shall be deemed vested as of such termination and the Participant shall receive such
number of shares of Common Stock equivalent to the number of RSUs subject to this Restricted Stock Unit Award which have not yet
vested under this Agreement within the time period set forth in Section 2(a) above, or (ii) a Corporate Transaction (as defined
in Section 24(b) of the Plan) that is a Change of Control in which the acquiring entity does not assume this Award, then, immediately
prior to the Change of Control, all of the RSUs subject to this Award that are then unvested shall be deemed vested as of immediately
prior to such Change of Control and the Participant shall receive immediately prior to such Change of Control such number of shares
of Common Stock equivalent to the number of RSUs subject to this Award which have not yet vested under this Agreement.

 

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

 

		(i)	Ownership. Any “Person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the “Beneficial Owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said
Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power represented by the
Company’s then outstanding voting securities (excluding for this purpose any such voting securities held by the Company or
its Affiliates or any employee benefit plan of the Company) pursuant to a transaction or a series of related transactions which
the Board of Directors does not approve; or

 

		(ii)	Merger/Sale of Assets. (A) A merger or consolidation of the Company whether or not approved
by the Board of Directors, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding
immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities
of the surviving entity or the parent of such corporation) more than 50% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities
of the Company or such surviving entity or parent of such corporation, as the case may be, outstanding immediately after such merger
or consolidation; or (B) the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in a
transaction requiring stockholder approval; or

 

		(iii)	Change in Board Composition. A change in the composition of the Board of Directors, as a
result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors” shall mean directors
who either (A) are directors of the Company as of the date of grant of this award, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election,
to the Board of Directors with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election
or nomination (but shall not include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy
contest relating to the election of directors to the Company).

 

		(iv)	“Change of Control” shall be interpreted, if applicable, in a manner, and limited to
the extent necessary, so that it will not cause adverse tax consequences under Section 409A.

3.            Prohibitions
on Transfer and Sale. This Award (including any additional RSUs received by the Participant as a result of stock dividends,
stock splits or any other similar transaction affecting the Company's securities without receipt of consideration) shall not be
transferable by the Participant otherwise than (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order as defined by the Internal Revenue Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the
rules thereunder. Except as provided in the previous sentence, the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement
shall be issued, during the Participant's lifetime, only to the Participant (or, in the event of legal incapacity or incompetence,
to the Participant's guardian or representative). This Award shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether
by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted transfer,
assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of this Award or of any rights granted hereunder contrary to the provisions
of this Section 3, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon this Award shall be null and void.

 

4.            Adjustments.
The Plan contains provisions covering the treatment of RSUs and shares of Common Stock in a number of contingencies such as stock
splits. Provisions in the Plan for adjustment with respect to this Award and the related provisions with respect to successors
to the business of the Company are hereby made applicable hereunder and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

5.            Securities
Law Compliance. The Participant specifically acknowledges and agrees that any sales of shares of Common Stock shall be made
in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company
currently has an effective registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Common
Stock to be granted hereunder. The Company intends to maintain this registration statement but has no obligation to do so. If the
registration statement ceases to be effective for any reason or there is a restriction under foreign law, a Participant will not
be able to transfer or sell any of the shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement unless exemptions
from registration or filings under applicable securities laws are available. Furthermore, despite registration, applicable securities
laws may restrict the ability of the Participant to resell his or her Common Stock, including due to the Participant’s affiliation
with the Company. The Company shall not be obligated to either issue the Common Stock or permit the resale of any shares of Common
Stock if such issuance or resale would violate any applicable securities law, rule or regulation.

 

6.            Rights
as a Stockholder. The Participant shall have no right as a stockholder, including voting and dividend rights, with respect
to the RSUs subject to this Agreement.

 

7.            Incorporation
of the Plan. The Participant specifically understands and agrees that the RSUs and the shares of Common Stock to be issued
under the Plan will be issued to the Participant pursuant to the Plan, a copy of which Plan the Participant acknowledges he or
she has read and understands and by which Plan he or she agrees to be bound. The provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein
by reference.

 

8.           Tax
Liability of the Participant and Payment of Taxes. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that any income or other
taxes due from the Participant with respect to this Award or the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement
or otherwise sold shall be the Participant’s responsibility. Without limiting the foregoing, the Participant agrees that
if under applicable law the Participant will owe taxes at each vesting date on the portion of the Award then vested the Company
shall be entitled to immediate payment from the Participant of the amount of any tax required to be withheld by the Company. Any
taxes due shall be paid, at the option of the Company as follows:

 

(a)         through
reducing the number of shares of Common Stock entitled to be issued to the Participant on the applicable vesting date in an amount
equal to the amount of minimum withholding tax due and payable by the Company. Fractional shares will not be retained to satisfy
any portion of the withholding tax. Accordingly, the Participant agrees that in the event that the amount of withholding tax owed
would result in a fraction of a share being owed, that amount will be satisfied by withholding the fractional amount from the Participant’s
paycheck;

 

    	3

    	 

    

 

(b)         requiring
the Participant to deposit with the Company an amount of cash equal to the amount determined by the Company to be required with
respect to the statutory minimum of the Participant’s estimated total federal, state and local tax obligations or otherwise
withholding from the Participant’s paycheck an amount equal to the withholding tax due and payable; or

 

(c)         if
the Company believes that the sale of shares can be made in compliance with applicable securities laws, authorizing, at a time
when the Participant is not in possession of material nonpublic information, the sale by the Participant on the applicable vesting
date of such number of shares of Common Stock as the Company instructs a registered broker to sell to satisfy the Company’s
withholding obligation, after deduction of the broker’s commission, and the broker shall be required to remit to the Company
the cash necessary in order for the Company to satisfy its withholding obligation. To the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed
the Company’s tax withholding obligation the Company agrees to pay such excess cash to the Participant as soon as practicable.
In addition, if such sale is not sufficient to pay the Company’s tax withholding obligation the Participant agrees to pay
to the Company as soon as practicable, including through additional payroll withholding, the amount of any tax withholding obligation
that is not satisfied by the sale of shares of Common Stock. The Participant agrees to hold the Company and the broker harmless
from all costs, damages or expenses relating to any such sale. The Participant acknowledges that the Company and the broker are
under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price. In connection with such sale of shares of Common Stock, the
Participant shall execute any such documents requested by the broker in order to effectuate the sale of shares of Common Stock
and payment of the withholding obligation to the Company. The Participant acknowledges that this paragraph is intended to comply
with Section 10b5-1(c)(1(i)(B) under the Exchange Act.

 

The Company shall not
deliver any shares of Common Stock to the Participant until it is satisfied that all required withholdings have been made.

 

9.           Participant
Acknowledgements and Authorizations.

 

The Participant
acknowledges the following:

Company is not by the Plan or this Award obligated to continue the Participant as an Employee, director or Consultant of the Company
or of an Affiliate.

Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.

grant of this Award is considered a one-time benefit and does not create a contractual or other right to receive any other award
under the Plan, benefits in lieu of awards or any other benefits in the future.

is a voluntary program of the Company and future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but
not limited to, the timing of any grant, the amount of any award, vesting provisions and the purchase price, if any.

 

(e)         The
value of this Award is an extraordinary item of compensation outside of the scope of any employment or service. As such, the Award
is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service
payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments. The future value of the shares of Common
Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.

 

(f)          The
Participant (i) authorizes the Company and its Affiliates or, if the Participant is not employed by the Company or an Affiliate,
his or her employer, to furnish the Company and its Affiliates (and any agent administering the Plan or providing recordkeeping
services) with such information and data as it shall request in order to facilitate the grant of the Award and the administration
of the Plan, (ii) waives any data privacy rights he or she may have with respect to such information or the sharing of such information,
