        The aggregate number of shares to be issued
        or transferred upon exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights shall be 17,500 shares of common stock of the Corporation (hereinafter
        referred to as the “Common Stock”). However, in the event that the Number of Granted Shares is adjusted pursuant to
        Condition 3 below, the aggregate number of shares to be issued or transferred upon exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights shall
        be adjusted to the number obtained by multiplying the Number of Granted Shares after adjustment by the aggregate number of the
        Stock Acquisition Rights as prescribed in Condition 1 above.

         

    	 

    	 

    

 

	3. Adjustment of Number of Granted Shares	(1) In the event that the Corporation conducts a stock split (including free distribution of shares (musho-wariate)) or consolidation of the Common Stock, the Number of Granted Shares shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:
	 	Number of

Granted Shares after adjustment	=	Number of

Granted Shares

before adjustment	x	
        Ratio of split or

        consolidation
	 
	
         

        (2) An adjustment to the Number of Granted
        Shares under the immediately preceding Item shall be made only with respect to the Number of Granted Shares for the Stock Acquisition
        Rights which have not been exercised at the time of the adjustment.  Any
        fraction less than one (1) share resulting from the adjustment shall be disregarded.

         

        (3) The effective date of the Number of Granted
        Shares after adjustment shall be the same day as the date on which the Exercise Price after adjustment becomes effective as provided
        for in Item (2) of Condition 7 with regard to the adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Condition 7 for the same reason
        as the adjustment of the Number of Granted Shares.

         

	
        (4) When the Number of Granted Shares is adjusted,
        the Corporation shall give notice of necessary matters to each holder of the Stock Acquisition Rights registered in the register
        of Stock Acquisition Rights, no later than the day immediately preceding the effective date of the Number of Granted Shares after
        adjustment; provided, however, that if the Corporation is unable to give such notice no later than the day immediately preceding

        6. Amount of Assets to be Contributed upon Exercise of Stock Acquisition
        Rights

         
	
        The amount of assets to be contributed upon
        exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights shall be the amount obtained by multiplying the amount to be paid per share to be issued
        or transferred upon exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights (hereinafter referred to as the “Exercise Price”) by the
        Number of Granted Shares. The Exercise Price is initially ● yen.

         

        Provided, however, that if the closing price
        of the Common Stock in the regular trading thereof on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Price”)
        on the Allotment Date (if there is no Closing Price on such date, the Closing Price on the immediately preceding trading day) is
        higher than ● yen, then the amount equal to the Closing Price on the Allotment Date shall be the initial Exercise Price.

         

	
        7. Adjustment of Exercise Price

         
	
        (1) In the event that the Corporation conducts
        a stock split (including free distribution of shares (musho-wariate)) or consolidation of the Common Stock after the Allotment
        Date of the Stock Acquisition Rights, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula, and any fraction
        less than one (1) yen resulting from the adjustment shall be rounded up to the nearest one (1) yen:

         

	 	Exercise 

Price after 

adjustment	=	Exercise 

Price before 

adjustment	×	1	 
	Ratio of split or consolidation

        adjusted pursuant to the immediately preceding Item, the effective date of the Exercise Price after adjustment shall be as set

        (3) In addition to the cases in Item (1) of
        this Condition where the Exercise Price is required to be adjusted, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in a manner deemed to
        be appropriate by the Corporation in the following cases.

         

        (i)       When
        the Exercise Price is required to be adjusted due to a merger, corporate split (split by new incorporation or by absorption) or

        (ii)       In
        addition to Item (i) above, when the Exercise Price is required to be adjusted due to the occurrence of an event that causes or
        may cause a change in the total number of the issued Common Stock.

        exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights or to effect similar compliance under any similar laws. Notwithstanding anything herein
        to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue or cause to be issued or delivered any Common Stock pursuant to
        these terms and conditions unless and until the Corporation is advised by its legal counsel that the issuance and delivery of such

        laws, regulations of governmental authorities and the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded.

        The Corporation may, in its sole discretion,
        defer the effectiveness of the exercise of a Stock Acquisition Right granted hereunder to allow the issuance and transfer of the
        Common Stock upon such exercise to be made pursuant to registration or an exemption from registration or other methods for compliance
        available under federal or state securities laws. The Corporation shall inform the holder of such Stock Acquisition Right in writing
        of the decision to defer the effectiveness of the exercise of such Stock Acquisition Right granted hereunder. During the period
        that the effectiveness of the exercise of a Stock Acquisition Right has been deferred, the holder of such Stock Acquisition Right
        may, by a written notice, withdraw such exercise and obtain the refund of any amounts paid in connection with such exercise.

The Qualified Person confirms the following
matters pursuant to Article 13 of the Allocation Agreement.

 

1.   (Employment
Contract)

I understand that nothing in the
Sony Corporation Stock Acquisition Rights Plan (the “Plan”) terms form part of my employment contract, unless my employment
contract expressly states otherwise. Participation in the Plan does not create any right to continued employment.

 

I understand that neither the participation
in the Plan nor the grant of the Stock Acquisition Rights (hereinafter referred to as the “Option” in this Exhibit
4) creates any rights to participate in the Plan or to be granted any stock acquisition right, Option or award in the future. The
Plan may cease to be operated in the future although any existing Options granted under the Plan will continue in accordance with
the Allocation Agreement, Exhibits, and the Terms and Conditions.

 

I understand that I have no claim
or right of action in respect of any decision, omission or discretion which may operate to my disadvantage even if it is unreasonable,
irrational or might otherwise be regarded as being in breach of any duty, except as set out in the relevant Plan documentation.

 

I understand I have no right to
compensation for any loss in relation to the Plan, including any loss in relation to:

		·	a reduction of rights
or expectations under the Plan in any circumstances (including lawful or unlawful termination of employment);

		·	any exercise of a discretion
or a decision taken in relation to an award or to the Plan, or any failure to exercise a discretion or take a decision; and

		·	the operation, suspension,
termination or amendment of the Plan.

 

I understand that as the grant by
the Corporation is entirely discretionary, the benefits and rights acquired under the Plan do not constitute “base salary”
or other regular employment earnings and that nothing in the rules or operation of the Plan forms part of my contract of

    	 

    	 

    

employment or employment relationship,
which rights are separate from and not affected by, the Plan. I understand and agree that under no circumstances will the benefits
derived from the Plan be included as part of my employment earnings for purposes of calculating any of the Corporation’s
and/or the Sony group companies’ (including my employer) obligations to me for bonus, retirement, severance, or any other
such payments.

 

2.   (Data
Protection)

I consent to the collection, use

the information may be retained after my Options are exercised or cancelled. I understand that I can contact the Secretariat of
the Stock Option Plan, Corporate Human Resources, Sony Corporation.

 

I understand that the information
provided to the Corporation, the companies in the Sony group (including my employer), and/or to their duly authorized third party
designee(s) retained for the purpose of assisting the Corporation or the Sony group companies with administration of the Options
and provided in relation to the Plan will be used in relation to the administration of my Options under the Plan.

 

The Corporation and/or any of the
companies in the Sony group (including my employer) may give information to others (including people acting as agents of the Corporation
and/or any of the companies in the Sony group) in connection with the administration of the Plan on the understanding that they
will keep the information secure.

 

In order to process the information
the Corporation and/or companies in the Sony group (including my employer) may transfer the information to other countries that
may have a different level of statutory protection for my information than in my home country.

 

I understand that I have a right
to access certain information that the Plan holds about me and in order to exercise this right, I can contact the Secretariat of
the Stock Option Plan, Corporate Human Resources, Sony Corporation.

also understand that I have a right to object, in whole or in part, to the processing of the information.]

 

3.   (Payment
of Tax, Social Security or Other Amounts)

I authorize the Corporation and
companies in the Sony group (including my employer) to withhold any amounts or make such arrangements as they consider necessary
to meet any liability due to taxation, social security or other amounts in respect of my participation in the Plan. These arrangements
may include the sale or reduction in number of any shares of the Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Shares”)

I understand and agree that this
grant of Options to me will not affect my pension rights in any way. No additional contributions will be made by the Corporation
or by any other member of the Sony group (including my employer) as a result of my participation in this Plan. Any pension I may
receive will not be increased by my participation in this Plan.

 

6.   (Tax
Treatment)

		(4)	When the Number of Granted Shares is adjusted, the Corporation shall give notice of necessary matters
to each holder of the Options registered in the register of Options, no later than the day immediately preceding the effective
date of the Number of Granted Shares after adjustment; provided, however, that if the Corporation is unable to give such notice

federal or state securities laws. The Corporation shall inform the holder of such Option in writing of the decision to defer the
effectiveness of the exercise of such Option granted hereunder. During the period that the effectiveness of the exercise of an

Exhibit 4

 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES FOR NON-US PARTICIPANTS

 

The Qualified Person confirms the following
matters pursuant to Article 13 of the Allocation Agreement.

 

1.       (Employment
Contract)

I understand that nothing in the
Sony Corporation Stock Acquisition Rights Plan (the “Plan”) terms form part of my employment contract, unless my employment
contract expressly states otherwise. Participation in the Plan does not create any right to continued employment.

 

I understand that neither the participation
in the Plan nor the grant of an Option creates any rights to participate in the Plan or to be granted any stock acquisition right,
Option or award in the future. The Plan may cease to be operated in the future although any existing Options granted under the
Plan will continue in accordance with the Allocation Agreement, Exhibits, and the Terms and Conditions.

 

I understand that I have no claim
or right of action in respect of any decision, omission or discretion which may operate to my disadvantage even if it is unreasonable,
irrational or might otherwise be regarded as being in breach of any duty, except as set out in the relevant Plan documentation.

 

I understand I have no right to
compensation for any loss in relation to the Plan, including any loss in relation to:

		·	a reduction of rights
or expectations under the Plan in any circumstances (including lawful or unlawful termination of employment);

		·	any exercise of a discretion
or a decision taken in relation to an award or to the Plan, or any failure to exercise a discretion or take a decision; and

		·	the operation, suspension,
termination or amendment of the Plan.

 

I understand that as the grant by
the Corporation is entirely discretionary, the benefits and rights acquired under the Plan do not constitute “base salary”
or other regular employment earnings and that nothing in the rules or operation of the Plan forms part of my contract of employment
or employment relationship, which rights are separate from and not affected by,

    	1 

     

    

the Plan. I understand and agree
that under no circumstances will the benefits derived from the Plan be included as part of my employment earnings for purposes
of calculating any of the Corporation’s and/or the Sony group companies’ (including my employer) obligations to me
for bonus, retirement, severance, or any other such payments.

 

2.       (Data
Protection)

I consent to the collection, use
and disclosure by the Corporation and/or companies in the Sony group (including my employer) of any personal information or data
necessary for the administration of the Plan.

 

Subject to legislative requirements,
the information may be retained after my Options are exercised or cancelled. I understand that I can contact the Secretariat of
the Stock Option Plan, Corporate Human Resources, Sony Corporation or the Human Resources Department of Sony Corporation of America
(in accordance with the contact information provided to me under separate cover), if I have any queries in respect of this statement.

 

I understand that the information
provided to the Corporation, the companies in the Sony group (including my employer), and/or to their duly authorized third party
designee(s) retained for the purpose of assisting the Corporation or the Sony group companies with administration of the Options
and provided in relation to the Plan will be used in relation to the administration of my Options under the Plan.

 

The Corporation and/or any of the
companies in the Sony group (including my employer) may give information to others (including people acting as agents of the Corporation
and/or any of the companies in the Sony group) in connection with the administration of the Plan on the understanding that they
will keep the information secure.

 

In order to process the information
the Corporation and/or companies in the Sony group (including my employer) may transfer the information to other countries that
may have a different level of statutory protection for my information than in my home country.

 

I understand that I have a right
to access certain information that the Plan holds about me and in order to exercise this right, I can contact the Secretariat of
the Stock Option Plan, Corporate Human Resources, Sony Corporation or the Human Resources Department of Sony Corporation of America
(in accordance with the contact information provided to me under separate cover).

I understand that the conferral
of the information is optional and even if I refuse the conferral of the information, this refusal brings me no disadvantage. I
also understand that I have a right to object, in whole or in part, to the processing of the information.]

 

3.       (Payment
of Tax, Social Security or Other Amounts)

I authorize the Corporation and
companies in the Sony group (including my employer) to withhold any amounts or make such arrangements as they consider necessary
to meet any liability due to taxation, social security or other amounts in respect of my participation in the Plan. These arrangements
may include the sale or reduction in number of any shares of the Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Shares”)
unless I, as the participant in the Plan, discharge the liability myself.

 

4.       (Tax
Filings)

By signing the Allocation Agreement,
I agree to:

		(1)	make all neccessary personal tax filings in the territory where I am tax resident in relation to
this Plan;

 

		(2)	make any required foreign exchange filings or notifications in relation to my holding of rights
under the Plan in the territory where I am foreign exchange resident; and

 

		(3)	comply with any requirements to notify my employer of my interests in rights relating to the Shares
(whether these requirements are based on the internal rules of the Corporation, the Sony group, my employer or applicable law).

 

5.       (Pensions)

I understand and agree that this
grant of Options to me will not affect my pension rights in any way. No additional contributions will be made by the Corporation
or by any other member of the Sony group (including my employer) as a result of my participation in this Plan. Any pension I may
receive will not be increased by my participation in this Plan.

 

6.       (Tax
Treatment)

    	3

        2       Kriterier
        eller betingelser for tildelingen

        udvalgt af Sony Corporation (”Selskabet”), som    underskriver    Tildelingsaftalen af 27. februar 2018.

         

        3       Udnyttelsestidspunktet
        eller udnyttelsesperioden eller information om hvorledes udnyttelsestidspunkt fastsættes 

         

        Optionerne modnes og kan udnyttes i tre omtrent
        lige store årlige rater, fra og med årsdagen for tildelingen.

         

         

        4       Tegningskursen
        eller information om hvorledes tegningskursen fastsættes 

         

        Beløbet som erlægges pr. aktie
        udstedt eller overdraget når Optionerne udnyttes (herefter ”Udnyttelseskursen”) er som udgangspunkt US$ ●.

         

        Det forudsættes dog, at såfremt det US-dollar beløb,
        der opnås ved at dele slutkursen for aktier i selskabet i den regulære handel hermed på Tokyo Stock Exchange
        (herefter ”Slutkursen”) den 28. februar 2018 (”Tildelingsdatoen”) (såfremt der ikke er nogen Slutkurs
        denne dato, vil Slutkursen på den umiddelbart forudgående handelsdag være gældende) med den gennemsnitlige
        kursnotering hos en ledende erhvervsbank i Tokyo, som sælger spot US-dollar ved telegrafisk overførsel af yen i ti
        (1o) på hinanden følgende handelsdage (eksklusiv dage hvor der ikke er nogen Slutkurs) umiddelbart forud for Tildelingsdatoen
        (herefter ”Referencekursen”) (eventuelle decimaler efter en sådan beregning mindre end en (1) cent skal rundes
        op til nærmeste hele cent) er højere end US$ ●, så skal beløbet svarende til US-dollar beløbet
        beregnet ved at dele Slutkursen på Tildelingsdatoen med Referencekursen (eventuelle decimaler efter en sådan beregning
        mindre end en (1) cent skal rundes op til nærmeste hele cent) skal udgøre den første Udnyttelseskurs. I så
        fald skal Selskabet oplyse en sådan første Udnyttelseskurs til den Kvalificerede Person ved fremsendelse af meddelelse
        herom (herefter ”Meddelelsen”) på eller omkring den 28. februar 2018.

        den sidste dag i perioden) i henhold til bestemmelserne i bestemmelse 7 i Tildelingsaftalen; og

          

        (iii) Såfremt den Kvalificerede Person
        mister sin position som bestyrelsesmedlem, direktionsmedlem eller medarbejder i Selskabet eller i Sony Koncernen på grund
        af andre for-hold:

        (2)       Den
        Kvalificerede Person kan ikke udnytte Optionerne i følgende tilfælde:

        6       Økonomiske
        aspekter af deltagelse i aktieoptionsprogrammet 

         

        Aktieoptioner er risikobetonede værdipapirer,
        der er afhængige af aktiemarkedet. Som følge heraf er der ingen garanti for, at udnyttelsen af Optionerne udløser
        en fortjeneste. Tildelingen af Optionerne har ingen økonomiske konsekvenser for den Kvalificerede Person.

        sera le dernier jour de la période en question), mais ne pourra pas exercer les Options Non Exerçables à la
        Date de Renonciation à Statut ni par la suite; sous réserve, toutefois, que si la Société autorise
        l'héritier de la Personne Qualifiée à exercer les Options Non Exerçables, l'ensemble de celles-ci deviendront
        exerçables à la Date de Renonciation à Statut (ou à la Date de Commencement de la Période d'Exercice,
        si la Date de Renonciation à Statut tombe un jour précédant la Date de Commencement de la Période d'Exercice)
        et la Personne Qualifiée pourra exercer les Options Non Exerçables jusques et y compris le dernier jour de la période
        d'un (1) an commençant à la date suivant immédiatement la Date de Renonciation à Statut (si le dernier
        jour de cette période d'un (1) an tombe un jour férié pour la Société, le jour ouvrable le précédant

        du concurrent en question, et que l'un quelconque des CEO désignés pour représenter la Société
        décide de ne pas permettre l'exercice, par la Personne Qualifiée en question, des Options qui lui ont été
        attribuées.

         

        (ii) Si la Personne Qualifiée est considérée
        par la Société comme ayant commis un acte déloyal à l'égard de la Société ou du
        Groupe Sony.

         

        (iii) Si la Personne Qualifiée viole
        une quelconque disposition du Contrat.

         

        (5)       La
        Personne Qualifiée n'est pas autorisée à céder, à nantir ni à se défaire d'une

        (6)       L'exercice
        des Options est en outre assujetti à toute restriction sur les transactions prévue par le Règlement de la
        Sony Corporation of America Concernant les Transactions sur Titres ou tout autre règlement semblable mis en œuvre par
        le Groupe Sony (ci-après le « Groupe Sony ») et applicable à la Personne Qualifiée,
        tel qu'il peut être en vigueur de manière ponctuelle.

        cas de décès de la Personne Qualifiée, les Options en circulation qui auront été acquises et
        sont exerçables et accordées à la Personne Qualifiée en question, ne pourront être exercées
        que par les exécuteurs ou les administrateurs testamentaires de la Personne Qualifiée ou par toute personne ayant
        acquis le droit de les exercer en vertu du testament ou de la législation sur les successions, sous réserve qu'aucun
        transfert par testament ou en vertu de législation sur les successions d'une quelconque Option, ou du droit d'exercer une
        quelconque Option, ne pourra contraindre la Société à moins que cette dernière ait reçu (a)
        un avis écrit dans ce sens et une copie du testament et/ou les preuves qu'elle jugera nécessaires pour établir
        la validité du transfert et (b) un accord par lequel le cessionnaire s'engage à se conformer à l'ensemble
        des modalités des Options qui s'appliquent ou se seraient appliquées à la Personne Qualifiée (autres
        que les modalités relatives à l'emploi au sein de la Société ou de l'une de ses filiales) et à
        être lié par les engagements de la Personne Qualifiée concernant l'octroi des Options. Les Options non acquises
        ni exerçables lors du décès de la Personne Qualifiée deviendront nulles.

         

        12.       Rachat
        / Achat d'Options

         

        Le rachat obligatoire des Options ne s'applique

        par le transfert (autre qu'un quelconque transfert d'Options acquises et exerçables au décès d'un détenteur
        des Options au profit de la succession ou des bénéficiaires du détenteur en question), à moins que
        cette acquisition soit expressément approuvée par le Conseil d'Administration de la Société.

        de Dépôt des Demandes d'Exercice des Options

        de Traitement des Paiements lors de l'Exercice des Options

        16.       Emission
        des ADR (Certificats Américains de Dépôt)

         

        (1)       La
        Société gère actuellement un plan d'ADR aux Etats-Unis, en vertu duquel des Certificats Américains
        de Dépôt (American Depositary Receipts ou « ADR ») représentent des actions ordinaires
        de la Société. Durant la période où la Société gère la cotation en bourse desADR
        aux Etats-Unis, les Personnes Qualifiées exerçant les Options recevront des ADR au lieu d'actions ordinaires de la
        Société, et ce comme décrit ci-dessous. Lors de l'exercice d'une Option, les actions ordinaires de la Société
        acquises par suite de cet exercice seront émises au nom du dépositaire ou de la personne qu'il aura désignée
        dans le cadre du Plan d'ADR de Sony au profit de la Personne Qualifiée. A réception des actions ordinaires de la
        Société suite à l'exercice d'une Option, le dépositaire dans le cadre du plan d'ADR de Sony émettra
        immédiatement et de manière automatique les ADR représentant les actions ordinaires en question de la Société
        au nom de la Personne Qualifiée concernée et livrera les ADR en question à celle-ci (ou sur un compte détenu
        au profit de celle-ci) dès que possible suite à la date effective de l'émission. Par souci de simplicité,
        toute référence faite dans le Contrat d'Attribution (tel que défini ci-dessous à l'Article 16 des Conditions)
        et dans les Conditions aux actions ordinaires de la Société sera considérée comme étant une
        référence aux ADR.

         

        (2)       Nonobstant
        l'Alinéa qui précède, si la Société décide de radier les ADR aux Etats-Unis, les Personnes
        Qualifiées exerçant les Options recevront des actions ordinaires de la Société et les Personnes Qualifiées
        ne peuvent pas soulever d'objections à l'encontre d'un tel traitement.

          

         

         

        17.       Traitement
        en Cas de Transaction d'Entreprise

         

        (1)       En
        cas de quelconque transaction d'entreprise, à l'exclusion (a) d'une consolidation ou d'une fusion dont la société
        résultante n'est pas la Société ou (b) d'un échange de parts (kabushiki-kokan) ou d'un transfert de
        parts (kabushiki-iten) en vertu duquel la Société devient une filiale à 100% d'une autre société
        affectant la Société, y compris la dissolution ou la liquidation de la Société, la vente de tout ou
        d'une partie substantielle des actifs de la Société, de scission d'entreprise ou de toute autre transaction semblable,
        la Société pourra (x) exiger de l'entité résultant de la transaction en question qu'elle signe un accord
        prévoyant que tout détenteur des Options ait le droit, pendant la Durée et lors de l'exercice des Options,
        de recevoir la catégorie et la quantité d'actions et d'autres titres et actifs qui lui sont dus suite à ladite
        transaction par tout détenteur du nombre d'actions au titre desquelles les Options auraient pu être exercées
        immédiatement avant la transaction en question ou (y) empêcher l'exercice, avec prise d'effet immédiate lors
        de la réalisation de la transaction en question, de chaque Option en circulation immédiatement avant la transaction
        ou non (que l'option en question soit alors exerçable ou non).

         

        (2)       Si
        la Société signe un contrat définitif ou prend une décision par résolution de son Conseil d'Administration
        ou par approbation de ses actionnaires lors de l'assemblée des actionnaires visant à effectuer une ou plusieurs des
        transactions ou opérations décrites dans le paragraphe qui précède, la Société pourra
        fournir un préavis d'au moins vingt jours à la Personne Qualifiée à compter de la réalisation
        de la transaction ou de l'opération en question et donner à cette Personne Qualifiée la possibilité
        d'exercer ses Options (que les Options en question soient alors ou non acquises et exerçables), immédiatement avant,
        et sous réserve de, la réalisation de la transaction ou de l'opération en question.

         

        18.       Condition
        Résolutoire au Contrat d'Attribution conclu avec la Personne Qualifiée

         

        L'accord concernant l'attribution des Options
        d’Achat d'Actions Sony Corporation pour l'Exercice 2017 conclu entre la Personne Qualifiée et la Société
        en date du 27 février 2018 (ci-après le « Contrat d'Attribution »), expirera automatiquement,
        sans aucune procédure particulière, si la Personne Qualifiée n'occupe pas le poste d'administrateur, de CEO,
        directeur ou d'employé de la Société ou du Groupe Sony à la Date d'Attribution.

         

         

         

        19.       Questions
        relatives aux Montants de Capital et de Primes d'Emission supplémentaires générés par l'Emission d'Actions
        lors de l'Exercice des Options

         

        (1)       Le
        montant de capital supplémentaire généré par l'émission d'actions lors de l'exercice des Options
        sera le montant obtenu en multipliant le plafond d'augmentation de capital, calculé conformément aux dispositions
        de l'Alinéa 1, Article 17 des Règles Comptables de la Société, au Japon (Company Accounting Ordinance
        of Japan), par 0,5, et toute fraction inférieure à un (1) yen résultant de ce calcul sera arrondie au un (1)
        yen le plus proche.

         

        (2)       Le
        montant de la prime d'émission supplémentaire générée par l'émission d'actions lors de
        l'exercice des Options sera le montant obtenu en déduisant le capital supplémentaire, visé en (1) ci-dessus,
        du plafond d'augmentation de capital, également visé en (1) ci-dessus.

        déclarations, les garanties, les engagements et les confirmations énoncés dans l'Annexe aux présentes.

         

        21.       Interprétation

         

        Rien de ce qui figure ici ni dans le Contrat d'Attribution
        ne saurait être interprété comme donnant à la Personne Qualifiée un quelconque droit de recevoir
        des options ou d'acheter des actions ordinaires de la Société à l'avenir auprès de la Société
        ou de l'une quelconque de ses filiales. Rien de ce qui figure ici ni dans le Contrat d'Attribution ne saurait conférer à
        la Personne Qualifiée de quelconque droit de rester employée par la Société ou l'une quelconque de
        ses filiales, ni ne saurait constituer de contrat de travail ni interférer, de quelque manière que ce soit, avec
        le droit de la Société ou de ses filiales de réduire ou de modifier la rémunération de la Personne
        Qualifiée en vigueur au moment de l'octroi d'une quelconque Option ou autrement, ni de dénoncer le contrat de travail
        d'une Personne Qualifiée ni de changer le poste de la Personne Qualifiée ou les conditions de son emploi, avec ou
        sans justification. Rien de ce qui figure ici ni dans le Contrat d'Attribution ne saurait empêcher la Société,
        et la Société se réserve expressément le droit, de modifier les modalités des options d'achat
        d'actions ordinaires de la Société, le cas échéant, qui sont ou pourraient être accordées
        à l'avenir.

         

         

        Annexe

         

        DECLARATIONS ET GARANTIES POUR LES PARTICIPANTS
        NON AMERICAINS

         

        La Personne Qualifiée émet les
        confirmations suivantes en vertu de l'Article 17 des Conditions.

         

        1.       (Contrat
        de Travail)

        Je comprends que rien de ce qui figure dans les
        modalités du Plan d’Options d’Achat d'Actions de la Sony Corporation (le « Plan ») ne
        fait partie de mon contrat de travail, sauf indication contraire figurant explicitement dans ce dernier. La participation au Plan
        ne donne aucun droit au maintien de mon emploi.

         

        Je comprends que ni la participation au Plan,
        ni l'octroi d'une Option, ne crée pour moi le droit de participer au Plan ni de me voir accorder des Options ni d'autres
        avantages à l'avenir. Le Plan pourra cesser de fonctionner à l'avenir, bien que toute Option existante accordée
        en vertu de ce Plan continuera conformément au Contrat d'Attribution, aux Annexes au Contrat d'Attribution et aux Modalités.

         

        Je comprends que je ne peux revendiquer aucun
        droit d’agir suite à une quelconque décision, omission ou mesure discrétionnaire qui pourrait intervenir
        à mon détriment, même si celle-ci s'avérait déraisonnable, irrationnelle ou pouvait être
        autrement considérée comme constituant une violation d'une quelconque obligation, hormis ce qui est prévu
        dans la documentation du Plan considéré.

         

        Je comprends que je n'ai aucun droit à
        compensation en cas de perte résultant du Plan, y compris de perte due à :

        ·        
        une réduction de mes droits ou de mes attentes
        en vertu du Plan, quelles qu'en soient les circonstances (y compris la dénonciation, légitime ou non, de mon contrat
        de travail) ;

         

        ·        
        l'exercice d'une mesure discrétionnaire
        ou d'une décision prise concernant un avantage ou concernant le Plan, ou le non exercice d'une mesure discrétionnaire
        ou la non-prise de décision ; ou

         

        ·        
        l'exploitation, la suspension, la dénonciation
        ou l'amendement du Plan.

         

        Je comprends que l'octroi de droits par la Société
        est entièrement discrétionnaire et que, par conséquent, les avantages et les droits acquis en vertu du Plan
        ne constituent ni du « salaire de base » ni une quelconque autre rémunération régulière
        au titre de l'emploi, et qu'aucun aspect du règlement ni du fonctionnement du Plan ne fait partie de mon contrat de travail
        ni de ma relation avec mon employeur, les droits résultant de ce contrat et de cette relation étant distincts du
        Plan et n'en étant nullement affectés. Je comprends et je reconnais qu'en aucun cas les avantages tirés du
        Plan ne seront inclus dans la rémunération liée à mon emploi aux fins de calculer les obligations de
        la Société et/ou du Groupe Sony (y compris mon employeur) en termes de primes, de retraite, d'indemnités de
        départ ou d'autres paiements de même nature.

         

        2.       (Protection
        des Données)

        Je consens à la collecte, à l'utilisation
        et à la divulgation, par la Société et/ou les sociétés du Groupe Sony (y compris mon employeur),
        de toutes informations ou données personnelles nécessaires à l'administration du Plan.

         

        Sous réserve des exigences légales,
        les informations pourront être conservées après exercice ou annulation de mes Options. Je comprends que je
        peux contacter le Secrétariat du Plan de Stock Options, les Ressources Humaines de la Société, la Sony Corporation
        ou le Service des Ressources Humaines de la Sony Corporation of America (en utilisant les coordonnées qui m’auront
        été communiquées sous pli séparé), si j'ai des questions concernant la présente déclaration.

         

        Je comprends que les informations fournies à
        la Société, aux sociétés du Groupe Sony (y compris mon employeur) et/ou à leurs représentants

        (________ shares may be issued or transferred
        upon the exercise by the person who entered into the Allocation Agreement as defined below in Article 16 (hereinafter referred
        to as the “Qualified Person”) of all Options allocated to the Qualified Person.)

         

        2.       Aggregate
        number of Options

         

        150 (the maximum number of the shares of the Corporation
        to be issued upon exercise of the Option is 15,000)

         

        3.       Class

        The Exercise Price is initially US$ ●.

         

        Provided, however, that if the U.S. dollar amount
        obtained by dividing the closing price of shares of common stock of the Corporation in the regular trading thereof on the Tokyo
        Stock Exchange (hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Price”) on the Allotment Date (as defined in Article 6 of this
        Principal Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as the “Conditions”)) (if there is no Closing Price on such

        bank in Tokyo for selling spot U.S. dollars by telegraphic transfer against yen for ten (10) consecutive trading days (excluding
        days on which there is no Closing Price) immediately prior to the Allotment Date (hereinafter referred to as the “Reference
        Exchange Rate”) (any fraction less than one (1) cent arising as a result of such calculation shall be rounded up to the nearest

        such initial Exercise Price to the Qualified Person by sending a notice (hereinafter referred to as the “Notice”) on
        or about February 28, 2018. The provisions with respect to the initial Exercise Price in the Notice shall automatically supersede
        the provisions hereto.

         

        5.       Period
        during which the Options may be exercised

        The Qualified Person may exercise the Exercisable
        Options until and including the last day of the one (1) year period commencing on the date immediately following the Status Forfeit
        Date (if the last day of this one (1) year period falls on a holiday of the Corporation, the immediately preceding business day

        of the Options allocated to such Qualified Person.

         

        (ii) If the Qualified Person is regarded by
        the Corporation to have performed any act of disloyalty against the Corporation or the Sony Group Companies.

         

        (iii) If the Qualified Person violates any
        provision of the Agreement.

        11.       Prohibition
        of Disposition

         

        (1)       Except
        as provided in Paragraph (2) below, the Options, whether vested or unvested, are nontransferable by the Qualified Person.

         

        (2)       Upon
        the death of the Qualified Person, outstanding Options that are vested and exercisable and granted to such Qualified Person may
        be exercised only by the executors or administrators of the Qualified Person’s estate or by any person or persons who shall
        have acquired such right to exercise by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, provided that no transfer by will or the
        laws of descent and distribution of any Option, or the right to exercise any Option, shall be effective to bind the Corporation
        unless the Corporation shall have been furnished with (a) a written notice thereof and a copy of the will and/or such evidence
        as the Corporation may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and (b) an agreement by the transferee to comply
        with all the terms and conditions of the Options that are or would have been applicable to the Qualified Person (other than any
        terms and conditions relating to employment with the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries) and to be bound by the acknowledgements
        made by the Qualified Person in connection with the grant of the Options. Options that are not vested and exercisable at the death
        of the Qualified Person will terminate.

         

        12.       Repurchase/Purchase
        of Options

         

        Mandatory repurchase of the Options is not

        13.       Restrictions
        on Acquisition of Options through Transfer

         

         

        The Options cannot be acquired through transfer
        (other than any transfer of Options that are vested and exercisable upon the death of a holder of the Options to such holder’s
        estate or beneficiaries), unless such acquisition is expressly approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

        where Applications for Exercise of Options are Made

        16.       Issuance
        of ADRs

         

         

        (1)       The
        Corporation currently maintains an American Depositary Receipt program in the United States pursuant to which American Depositary
        Receipts or “ADRs” represent shares of common stock of the Corporation. During the time the Corporation maintains the
        listing of ADRs on a stock exchange in the United States, the Qualified Persons who exercise the Options will generally receive
        ADRs in lieu of shares of common stock of the Corporation as follows. Upon exercise of an Option, shares of common stock of the
        Corporation acquired upon the exercise of such Option shall be issued in the name of the depositary or its nominee under the Sony
        American Depositary Receipt Program for the benefit of the Qualified Person. Upon receipt of shares of common stock of the Corporation
        upon the exercise of an Option, the depositary under the Sony American Depositary Receipt Program shall immediately and automatically
        issue ADRs representing such shares of common stock of the Corporation in the name of the applicable Qualified Person and shall
        deliver such ADRs to such Qualified Person (or to an account held for the benefit of such Qualified Person) as soon as practicable
        following the effective date on which such issuance occurs. For simplicity, all references in the Allocation Agreement (as defined
        below in Article 16 of the Conditions) and the Conditions to shares of common stock of the Corporation will be deemed to also refer
        to ADRs.

         

        (2)       Notwithstanding
        the immediately preceding Paragraph, if the Corporation determines to delist ADRs from a stock exchange in the United States, the
        Qualified Persons who exercise the Options will receive shares of common stock of the Corporation, and the Qualified Persons shall
        not raise any objections to such handling.

          

         

         

        17.       Treatment
        in Event of Corporate Transaction

         

        (1)       In
        the event of any corporate transaction excluding (a) a consolidation, amalgamation or merger in which the Corporation is not the
        continuing corporation, or (b) share exchange (kabushiki-kokan) or share transfer (kabushiki-iten) pursuant to which the Corporation
        is to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of another corporation involving the Corporation, including a dissolution or liquidation
        of the Corporation, a sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets, a corporate split, or any other similar
        transaction, the Corporation may (x) cause the entity resulting from such transaction to execute an agreement providing that a
        holder of the Options shall have the right during the Term and upon the exercise of the Options to receive the class and amount
        of shares and other securities and property receivable upon such transaction by a holder of the number of shares in respect of
        which the Options could have been exercised immediately prior to such transaction or (y) prevent from being exercised, effective
        immediately upon the occurrence of such transaction, each Option outstanding immediately prior to such transaction (whether or
        not then exercisable).

         

        (2)       In
        the event that the Corporation enters into a definitive agreement or makes a decision by board resolution or by shareholder approval
        at the shareholders’ meeting to effectuate one or more of the transactions or events described in the immediately preceding
        paragraph, the Corporation may provide not less than twenty days advance notice to the Qualified Person from the consummation of
        such transaction or event and give the Qualified Person the opportunity to exercise their Options (whether or not such Options
        are then vested or exercisable), immediately prior to, and subject to, the consummation of such transaction or event.

         

         

         

        18.       Condition
        Subsequent of the Allocation Agreement with the Qualified Person

         

        The agreement concerning the allocation of
        the Stock Acquisition Rights of Sony Corporation for the Fiscal Year 2017 between the Qualified Person and the Corporation dated
        February 27, 2018 (hereinafter referred to as the “Allocation Agreement”), shall terminate, automatically, without
        any procedures being taken, in the event that the Qualified Person is not the position of director, corporate executive officer,
        officer or employee of the Corporation or of the Sony Group Companies on the Allotment Date.

         

        19.       Matters
        concerning the Amount of Capital and the Additional Paid-in Capital Increased by the Issuance of Shares upon Exercise of Options

         

         

        (1)       The
        amount of capital increased by the issuance of shares upon exercise of the Options shall be the amount obtained by multiplying
        the maximum limit of capital increase, as calculated in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 1, Article 17 of the Company
        Accounting Ordinance of Japan, by 0.5, and any fraction less than one (1) yen arising as a result of such calculation shall be
        rounded up to the nearest one (1) yen.

         

         

        (2)       The
        amount of additional paid-in capital increased by the issuance of shares upon exercise of the Options shall be the amount obtained
        by deducting the capital to be increased, as provided in (1) above, from the maximum limit of capital increase, as also provided
        in (1) above.

         

        20.       Representations,
        Warranties, Covenants and Confirmations

         

        The Qualified Person shall represent, warrant,
        covenant and confirm the matters set forth in the Exhibit hereto.

         

         

        21.       Construction

         

        Nothing herein or the Allocation Agreement
shall be construed to give the Qualified Person any right or entitlement to receive options to purchase common stock of the Corporation
in the future from the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries. Nothing contained herein or the Allocation Agreement shall confer
upon the Qualified Person any right to continue in the employment of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or constitute
any contract or agreement of employment or interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or its subsidiaries to reduce
or modify a Qualified Person’s compensation in existence at the time of the granting of any Option or otherwise, or to terminate
a Qualified Person’s employment or change the Qualified Person’s position or the terms of employment with or without
cause. Nothing contained herein or the Allocation Agreement shall prevent the Corporation from, and the Corporation expressly
reserves the right to, modify the terms and conditions of options to purchase common stock of the Corporation, if any, that are
or may be granted in the future.

         

        Exhibit

         

        REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES FOR NON-US PARTICIPANTS

         

        The Qualified Person confirms the following
        matters pursuant to Article 17 of the Conditions.

         

        1.       (Employment
        Contract)

        I understand that nothing in the Sony Corporation
        Stock Acquisition Rights Plan (the “Plan”) terms form part of my employment contract, unless my employment contract
        expressly states otherwise. Participation in the Plan does not create any right to continued employment.

         

        I understand that neither the participation in
        the Plan nor the grant of an Option creates any rights to participate in the Plan or to be granted any stock acquisition right,
        Option or award in the future. The Plan may cease to be operated in the future although any existing Options granted under the
        Plan will continue in accordance with the Allocation Agreement, Exhibits to the Allocation Agreement, and the Terms and Conditions.

         

        I understand that I have no claim or right of
        action in respect of any decision, omission or discretion which may operate to my disadvantage even if it is unreasonable, irrational
        or might otherwise be regarded as being in breach of any duty, except as set out in the relevant Plan documentation.

         

         

         

        I understand I have no right to compensation for
        any loss in relation to the Plan, including any loss in relation to:

        ·        
        a reduction of rights or expectations under the
        Plan in any circumstances (including lawful or unlawful termination of employment);

         

        ·        
        any exercise of a discretion or a decision taken
        in relation to an award or to the Plan, or any failure to exercise a discretion or take a decision; and

         

        ·        
        the operation, suspension, termination or amendment
        of the Plan.

         

        I understand that as the grant by the Corporation
        is entirely discretionary, the benefits and rights acquired under the Plan do not constitute “base salary” or other
        regular employment earnings and that nothing in the rules or operation of the Plan forms part of my contract of employment or employment
        relationship, which rights are separate from and not affected by, the Plan. I understand and agree that under no circumstances
        will the benefits derived from the Plan be included as part of my employment earnings for purposes of calculating any of the Corporation’s
        and/or the Sony group companies’ (including my employer) obligations to me for bonus, retirement, severance, or any other
        such payments.

         

        2.       (Data
Protection)

        I consent to the collection, use and disclosure
        by the Corporation and/or companies in the Sony group (including my employer) of any personal information or data necessary for
        the administration of the Plan.

         

        Subject to legislative requirements, the information
        may be retained after my Options are exercised or cancelled. I understand that I can contact the Secretariat of the Stock Option
        Plan, Corporate Human Resources, Sony Corporation or the Human Resources Department of Sony Corporation of America (in accordance
        with the contact information provided to me under separate cover), if I have any queries in respect of this statement.

         

         

        I understand that the information provided to
        the Corporation, the companies in the Sony group (including my employer), and/or to their duly authorized third party designee(s)
        retained for the purpose of assisting the Corporation or the Sony group companies with administration of the Options and provided
        in relation to the Plan will be used in relation to the administration of my Options under the Plan.

         

        The Corporation and/or any of the companies in
        the Sony group (including my employer) may give information to others (including people acting as agents of the Corporation and/or
        any of the companies in the Sony group) in connection with the administration of the Plan on the understanding that they will keep
        the information secure.

         

         

        In order to process the information the Corporation
        and/or companies in the Sony group (including my employer) may transfer the information to other countries that may have a different
        level of statutory protection for my information than in my home country.

         

         

        I understand that I have a right to access certain
        information that the Plan holds about me and in order to exercise this right, I can contact the Secretariat of the Stock Option
        Plan, Corporate Human Resources, Sony Corporation or the Human Resources Department of Sony Corporation of America (in accordance
        with the contact information provided to me under separate cover).

         

        3.       (Payment
        of Tax, Social Security or Other Amounts)

        I authorize the Corporation and companies in the
        Sony group (including my employer) to withhold any amounts or make such arrangements as they consider necessary to meet any liability
        due to taxation, social security or other amounts in respect of my participation in the Plan. These arrangements may include the
        sale or reduction in number of any shares of the Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Shares”) unless I, as
        the participant in the Plan, discharge the liability myself.

         

        4.       (Tax
        Filings)

        By signing the Allocation Agreement, I agree to:

        (1)       make
        all neccessary personal tax filings in the territory where I am tax resident in relation to this Plan;

         

         

        (2)       make
        any required foreign exchange filings or notifications in relation to my holding of rights under the Plan in the territory where
        I am foreign exchange resident; and

         

         

        (3)       comply
        with any requirements to notify my employer of my interests in rights relating to the Shares (whether these requirements are based
        on the internal rules of the Corporation, the Sony group, my employer or applicable law).

         

         

        5.       (Pensions)

        I understand and agree that this grant of Options
        to me will not affect my pension rights in any way. No additional contributions will be made by the Corporation or by any other
        member of the Sony group (including my employer) as a result of my participation in this Plan. Any pension I may receive will not
        be increased by my participation in this Plan.

         

        6.       (Tax
        Treatment)

        I understand and agree that neither the Corporation
        nor any member of the Sony group (including my employer) has arranged for any special tax treatment to apply to these Options.
        The Options are not tax qualified in any jurisdiction.]
