RESTRICTED STOCK OVERVIEW

2. RESTRICTIONS:

(a) Vesting Schedule. The Restricted Stock shall be subject to forfeiture until such shares vest in accordance with the applicable schedule set forth below:

(i) Regular Vesting Schedule: One-third (1/3^rd) of the Shares will vest on the first (1st) anniversary of the Grant Date, and an additional one-third (1/3^rd) of the Shares will vest on each succeeding anniversary of the Grant Date, provided Grantee has continued in the employment of the Corporation or any Parent, or Subsidiary of the Corporation from the Grant Date through any such anniversary.

(ii) Accelerated Vesting Schedule: The Shares shall become one-hundred percent (100%) vested on the date of a Change in Control of the Corporation, as such term is defined in the Plan, provided Grantee has continued in the employment of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Corporation from the Grant Date through any such vesting date.

(b) Other Restrictions.

(i) Nontransferable. Unvested shares of Restricted Stock are not transferable by the Grantee by means of sale, assignment, exchange, pledge, hypothecation, or otherwise (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution).

(ii) Rights of Shareholder. The Grantee shall be entitled to all rights of a shareholder of the Corporation with respect to unvested shares of Restricted Stock, including the right to vote the Restricted Stock and receive dividends and/or other distributions declared on such Shares. Any dividends which are paid in Shares with respect to unvested Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture conditions and other restrictions as the respective Restricted Stock.

3. ISSUANCE OF RESTRICTED STOCK:

(a) Issuance of Restricted Stock. The Restricted Stock shall be registered on the Corporation’s books in the name of the Grantee as of the Grant Date. Physical possession or custody of any share certificate(s) shall be retained by the Corporation until such time as the Restricted Stock are vested. While in its possession, the Corporation reserves the right to place a legend on any share certificate(s) restricting the transferability of such certificate(s) and referring to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) approved by the Committee and applicable to the Restricted Stock represented by the certificate(s). The Grantee shall deliver to the Corporation a share power, endorsed in blank, in the form attached as Attachment A, with respect to the Restricted Stock to be held by the Corporation.

(b) Vesting. Upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock, the Corporation shall cancel any share power granted to the Corporation with respect to such shares and deliver to the Grantee (or his estate, as may be applicable) a share certificate covering the vested Shares within 30 days after vesting. Any such share certificate shall not include vested fractional shares. If the shares of Restricted Stock are not registered under applicable federal or state law, the certificates for the Restricted Stock to be issued to the Grantee shall contain appropriate legends to reflect the restrictions on transferability imposed by law.

(c) Section 83(b) Election. Grantee hereby acknowledges that he or she has been informed that, unless an election is filed by the Grantee with the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, the proper state taxing authorities, within thirty (30) days of the Grant Date, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code (and similar state tax provisions if applicable) to be taxed currently on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Grant Date, there will be a recognition of taxable income to the Grantee measured by their Fair Market Value at the time of vesting. Grantee represents that Grantee has consulted any tax consultant(s) Grantee deems advisable in connection with the grant of the Shares or the filing of the Election under Section 83(b) and similar tax provisions.

A PARTIALLY COMPLETED FORM OF SECTION 83(b) ELECTION IS ATTACHED AS ATTACHMENT B. GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS GRANTEE’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE CORPORATION’S TO COMPLETE AND FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF GRANTEE REQUESTS THE CORPORATION OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THIS FILING ON GRANTEE’S BEHALF.

4. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT; END OF RESTRICTION PERIOD:

(a) Vesting. If the Grantee terminates employment with the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Corporation for any reason, the shares of Restricted Stock shall be vested only to the extent that they were vested as of such date of termination of employment, and no further vesting shall occur thereafter.

(b) Forfeiture. Any shares of Restricted Stock which have not then become vested pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be forfeited to the Corporation upon the termination of employment of the Grantee with the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Corporation for any reason. No consideration shall be payable to the Grantee from the Corporation or otherwise with respect to the forfeited Shares, except as otherwise determined by the Committee.

5. MISCELLANEOUS:

(a) Withholding Taxes. The Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Corporation shall have the right to deduct from any compensation or any other payment of any kind (including withholding the issuance of Shares hereunder) due the Grantee the amount of any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld as a result of the grant of the Restricted Stock or the vesting of the Restricted Stock in whole or in part; provided, however, that the value of the Shares withheld may not exceed the statutory minimum withholding amount required by law. In lieu of such deduction, the Corporation may require the Grantee to make a cash payment to the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Corporation equal to the amount required to be withheld. If the Grantee does not make such payment when requested, the Corporation may refuse to provide for the issuance of Restricted Stock, or effect the transfer back to the Corporation of newly vested Restricted Stock, to satisfy such payments.

(b) Impact on Other Benefits. The value of the Restricted Stock (either on the Grant Date or at the time the Shares are vested) shall not be includable as compensation or earnings for purposes of any other benefit plan offered by the Corporation.

(c) Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed as a contract of employment between the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Corporation and the Grantee, or as a contractual right of the Grantee to continue in the employ of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Corporation, or as a limitation of the right of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Corporation to discharge the Grantee at any time.

RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

Internal Revenue Service Center

[**Address**]  [**the Service Center to which individual income tax return is filed**]

Dear Sir/Madam:

Enclosed is an election under §83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with respect to certain shares of Celsion Corporation that were transferred to me on                     , 200  .

Please file this election.

ATTACHMENT C: EXPLANATION OF SECTION 83(B) ELECTION

This memorandum provides general information regarding the potential tax consequences to you from the grant of restricted common stock (the “Stock”) of Celsion Corporation (“the Corporation”). Because this is intended to provide only a summary of the highlights of the potential tax consequences from such a grant and does not discuss all complexities or exceptions, we recommend that you consult your own tax advisor before taking any action with respect to these matters.

The tax consequences of transfers of property in connection with the performance of services are generally governed by Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as follows.

Any additional gain or loss on the sale of the Stock after its value has been reported as ordinary income to you (either under the general rules of Section 83 or as the result of a Section 83(b) Election) would generally be taxable as capital gain or loss.

Please note that if a Section 83(b) Election is made and you subsequently forfeit some or all of the Stock, you would not be entitled to a deduction or any other adjustment with respect to the gross income you recognized in the year of grant.

To make a Section 83(b) Election, you must file a signed election form with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days of the date the Stock is granted (i.e., within thirty (30) days of the date of the restricted stock agreement). In addition, you must furnish the Corporation with a copy of the Section 83(b) Election form and attach a copy of the election form to your individual income tax return for the year in which the Stock was granted. For this purpose, we may enclose a sample Section 83(b) Election form (partially completed) with your grant. However, it is solely your responsibility to determine whether to file a Section 83(b) Election and to timely and properly file the Section 83(b) Election if you decide to do so.

Again, we emphasize that you should contact your tax counsel regarding these matters.
