Upon the exercise of Limited Stock Appreciation Rights, except as otherwise provided in an Award agreement, the Participant shall receive in cash or Common Stock, as determined by the Committee, an amount equal to the amount # set forth in [Section 8.2(d)] with respect to Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights or # set forth in [Section 8.4(d)] with respect to Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights.

Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. In the event of a Change in Control in which the Participant’s outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan are continued, assumed or replaced as provided in Section 9.2, such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall become immediately exercisable in full for a remaining term extending until the original expiration date of the applicable Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right grant if, following the Change in Control, the Participant’s employment # is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without cause, or # is terminated by the Participant for Good Reason. For purposes of the Plan, the Committee or officers designated by the Committee shall have absolute discretion to determine whether a termination is for cause.

The Committee may also, in its discretion, accept payment of tax withholding obligations through any of the Exercise Price payment methods described in [Section 4.3(d)].

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Notice of Stock Appreciation Rights Award (this “Notice”) and the attached Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation Cash-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights Award Agreement (together with the Notice, the “Award Agreement”), Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (the “Company”) grants you (“Participant” or “you”) cash-settled Stock Appreciation Rights (the “SARs”) in the Company. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all terms used in this Notice shall have the meanings set forth in the Award Agreement.

Expiration of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement.

Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.

Forfeiture of Stock Appreciation Rights. In the event the Grantee's Continuous Service terminates for any reason, the Grantee's right to vest in the SARs will cease as of the date of termination of the Grantee's Continuous Service, and any SARs that were not already exercisable on the date of such termination shall be forfeited on that date. Furthermore, the Grantee's Post-Termination Exercise Period will be measured by reference to the date of such termination in accordance with the Plan, provided, however, that in case the Grantee's Continuous Service terminates for Cause, the Grantee's right to exercise the SARs shall terminate immediately upon the date of the Grantee's termination of Continuous Service.
