EXECUTION VERSION

Second AMENDMENT TO

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

This SECOND AMENDMENT TO RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT, dated as of June 15, 2018 (this “Amendment”), is hereby entered into by and between PeerStream, Inc. (f/k/a Snap Interactive, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Employee”). Terms used in this Amendment with initial capital letters that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, by and between the Company and the Employee, dated March 3, 2016, and as amended by that certain First Amendment to Restricted Stock Award Agreement, dated October 7, 2016 (collectively, the “Restricted Stock Agreement”).

WHEREAS, the parties mutually desire and agree to amend the tax withholding provisions of the Restricted Stock Agreement as provided herein; and

WHEREAS, Section 21 of the Restricted Stock Agreement provides that it may only be changed or modified in a writing that is approved by the Employee and the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Section 21 of the Restricted Stock Agreement, in consideration of the mutual promises, conditions, and covenants contained herein and in the Restricted Stock Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.  Section 2(b) of the Restricted Stock Agreement is amended by deleting said section in its entirety and adding the following new Section 2(b):

(b) “Consulting Agreement” means that certain Consulting Agreement by and between the Company and Employee, dated as of June 15, 2018.

2.  Section 3(b) of the Restricted Stock Agreement is amended by deleting said section in its entirety and adding the following new Section 3(b):

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Sections 3(c) and (d) below, if, following the Closing Date, the Employee incurs a Termination of Service by the Company without Cause (as that term is defined in the Consulting Agreement), then all of the Awarded Shares not previously vested shall thereupon immediately become fully vested upon the date of such Termination of Service.

3.  Section 3(e) of the Restricted Stock Agreement is amended by deleting said section in its entirety and adding the following new Section 3(e):

Notwithstanding the foregoing and in addition to the Company’s rights set forth in Section 25, the Company shall have the right to require payment from the Employee, within ninety (90) days following the date the Awarded Shares vest, to cover any applicable taxes due upon the vesting of such Awarded Shares (the “Withholding Obligation”), and the Employee’s receipt of Common Stock for such vested Awarded Shares is specifically conditioned upon the Employee’s satisfaction of the Withholding Obligation. Payment of the Withholding Obligation may be made: (i) by the Employee directly to the Company; (ii) from a broker in connection with a sale of either shares to be acquired upon vesting of the Awarded Shares or other Common Stock of the Company owned by the Employee, provided such Common Stock was not acquired from the Company within the prior six (6) months; (iii) if the Board, in its sole discretion, so consents (which approval must include the affirmative vote of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, provided he is serving as a member of the Board when such approval is sought), by the Company’s withholding of a number of shares of Common Stock to be acquired upon the vesting of the Awarded Shares, which shares so withheld have a fair market value equal to the Withholding Obligation; (iv) by such other method(s) (if any) as the Board, in its sole discretion, may consent (which approval must include the affirmative vote of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, provided he is serving as a member of the Board when such approval is sought); or (v) by any combination of the above; provided, however, that (A) for Awarded Shares that vest in accordance with Section 3(a)(i), if any, the Company shall withhold, in full or partial satisfaction of the Withholding Obligation related to such vested Awarded Shares, the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be acquired upon vesting of such Awarded Shares, having a fair market value equal to the lesser of (1) the Withholding Obligation and (2) an amount equal to the difference between $200,000 and the fair market value of shares of Common Stock withheld, if any, to satisfy the tax withholding obligations under that certain Restricted Stock Award Agreement, by and between the Company and the Employee, dated December 14, 2011 and as amended October 7, 2016 (the “2011 Award Agreement”), not to exceed $200,000, with the remaining amount of the Withholding Obligation related to such vested Awarded Shares, if any, to be satisfied by the Employee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (B) for Awarded Shares that vest in accordance with Section 3(a)(ii), if any, the Company shall withhold, in full or partial satisfaction of the Withholding Obligation related to such vested Awarded Shares, the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be acquired upon vesting of such Awarded Shares, having a fair market value equal to the lesser of (1) the Withholding Obligation and (2) $100,000 (which such $100,000 shall be reduced by the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock withheld, if any, to satisfy the tax withholding obligations under the 2011 Award Agreement), with the remaining amount of the Withholding Obligation related to such vested Awarded Shares, if any, to be satisfied by the Employee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that in any event the total amount of the withholding liability incurred by the Company pursuant to this Section 3(e)(B) and the 2011 Award Agreement shall not exceed $100,000 in the aggregate; or (C) if the Awarded Shares become vested in accordance with Section 3(b) on or prior to the 3rd anniversary of the Closing Date, the Employee shall have the right to select, from among the options discussed above in Section 3(e)(i) through Section 3(e)(v), the manner in which payment of the Withholding Obligation is made, including, without limitation, by the Company withholding shares of Common Stock as described in Section 3(e)(iii), regardless of the Board’s consent or lack thereof. The Employee shall forfeit any Awarded Shares for which he has not satisfied the Withholding Obligation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

4.  The Restricted Stock Agreement, except as modified by this Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect.
