(c)

Within sixty (60) days following the end of the Year-One Earnout Period, the Buyer shall provide the Members with such documents as shall be reasonably necessary to determine if the Year-One Daily Engage Target has been met.  If the Year-One Daily Engage Target has been met: (i) the Buyer shall promptly notify the Escrow Agent that such shares may be released from the escrow in such amounts and to such individuals as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto; and (ii) within sixty (60) days thereafter shall tender the Year-One Earnout Cash to the Members in such amounts as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto.  If the Year-One Daily Engage Target has not been met, neither the Members nor Belani shall be entitled to the Year-One Earnout Shares and/or the Year-One Earnout Cash; provided, however, that if the Year-Two Daily Engage Target is met, at the time of payment of the Year-Two Earnout Shares and the Year-Two Earnout Cash, the Members and Belani shall also be entitled to receive the Year-One Earnout Shares and the Year-One Earnout Cash;

9.2.

Indemnification by Buyer.  The Buyer hereby indemnifies and holds the Members and their Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Member Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all damages, losses, Liabilities, obligations, costs or expenses incurred by a Member arising out of the breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer hereunder, and/or Buyer's failure to perform any covenant or obligation required to be performed by it hereunder.

Limitations.  The Members jointly and severally shall be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under 9.1 and shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar.

9.4.

Procedure for Indemnification.  Any Party entitled to indemnification under this Section 9 (an “Indemnified Party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party (“Indemnifying Party”) of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 9 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.  In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the Indemnified Party a conflict of interest between it and the Indemnifying Party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.  In the event that the Indemnifying Party advises an Indemnified Party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its

9.5.

Time for Assertion.  No Party to this Agreement shall have any liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any representation, warranty or covenant or obligation to be performed and complied hereunder, unless notice of any such liability is provided on or before thirty-six (36) months from the date hereof.

10.

COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE; NON-SOLICITATION.

In consideration of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and in order to protect and preserve the legitimate business interests of the Buyer, the Members agree as follows:

10.1.

The Member acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 10 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by the Member of any such obligations, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

10.4.

The Member acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 10 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 10 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 10 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

FORM OF LOCK UP LEAK OUT AGREEMENT

THIS LOCK UP LEAK OUT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of this 19th day of September, 2017 (the “Effective Date”) by and between [Ÿ], an individual with his principal address at [·] (the “Member”) and Bright Mountain Media, Inc., a Florida corporation with its principal place of business located at 6400 Congress Avenue, Suite 2050, Boca Raton, Florida 33487 (“Bright Mountain”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated September 19, 2017 (the "Agreement"), by and among Bright Mountain, its wholly owned subsidiary Bright Mountain, LLC, Daily Engage Media Group, LLC (“Daily Engage”), Harry G. Pagoulatos, George G. Rezitis and Angelos Triantafillou (collectively, the "Members"), the Members received or may receive pursuant to the terms of the Agreement an aggregate number of shares of the common stock (the “Common Stock”) of Bright Mountain as set forth on Schedule A of the Agreement (the "Shares").

WHEREAS, as a condition of the issuance of the Shares, the Members agreed to enter into an agreement restricting the transfer or resale of the Shares.

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

1.

LOCK UP OF SHARES; PERMITTED LEAK OUTS.

(a)

The Member acknowledges that (i) the Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and are considered “restricted securities,” and (ii) such Shares may only be sold, transferred, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by the Member in accordance with the holding periods and other provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

(b)

The Member hereby agrees that during the period commencing on the date of issuance of the Closing Consideration Shares pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, or the release of Year-One Earnout Shares, Year-Two Earnout Shares and/or Year-Three Earnout Out Shares pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and ending on the twelve (12) month anniversary of each such date (the “Lock Up Period”) the Member will not without the prior written consent of Bright Mountain, which such consent may not be forthcoming, (i) offer, pledge, gift, donate, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares, or (ii) enter into any swap, option (including, without limitation, put or call options), short sale, future, forward or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise ((i) and (ii) being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Lock Up”).

(c)

During the Lock Up Period the Member authorizes Bright Mountain to cause any transfer agent for the Shares to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to the Shares subject to the Lock Up.

1

---

 

(d)

Following the expiration of the Lock Up Period, the Member agrees to limit the resales of such Shares in the Principal Market (as that term is defined in the Agreement to not more than 1,500 Shares per trading day, provided, however, that if the resales of the Shares by the Member shall reasonably cause the trading price of Bright Mountain's Common Stock in the Principal Market to decline in value, the Member shall reduce the number of Shares he resells in the Principal Market, it being the intent of the parties hereto that the market price of the Common Stock shall not be adversely impacted by resales of the Shares by the Member.  

(e)

The number of Shares which may be resold pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof and the average closing bid price pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof are subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, combinations, stock dividends and similar corporate events.

2.

LEGENDS.

(a)

The Member hereby agrees that each outstanding certificate representing the Shares shall during the Lock Up Period, in addition to any other legends as may be required in compliance with Federal securities laws, bear legends reading substantially as follows:

“THE SALE OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A LOCK UP AGREEMENT DATED SEPTEMBER 19, 2017 BY AND BETWEEN BRIGHT MOUNTAIN MEDIA, INC. AND THE SHAREHOLDER LISTED ON THE FACE HEREOF.  NO TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES WILL BE MADE ON THE BOOKS OF BRIGHT MOUNTAIN MEDIA, INC. UNLESS ACCOMPANIED BY EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH LOCK UP AGREEMENT.”

(b)

A copy of this Agreement shall be filed with Bright Mountain's transfer agent of record.

3.

SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.  The Member acknowledges that there would be no adequate remedy at law if the Member fails to perform any of his obligations hereunder, and, accordingly, agrees that Bright Mountain, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Member under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any remedy under this Section 3 is subject to certain equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought.

4.

NOTICES.  All notices, statements, instructions or other documents required to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given either personally or by mailing the same in a sealed envelope, first-class mail, postage prepaid and either certified or registered, return receipt requested, or by telecopy, and shall be addressed to the respective party as its address set forth earlier in this Agreement.

5.

GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. Any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Palm Beach County in the State of Florida.  The parties hereto hereby accept the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of those courts for the purpose of any such suit, action or proceeding.  The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof brought in Palm Beach County, Florida, and hereby further irrevocably waive any claim that any suit, action or proceeding brought in Palm Beach County, Florida has been brought in an inconvenient form.

6.

COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

8.

AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.  Any term of this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of Bright Mountain and the Member.  No delay or failure on the part of Bright Mountain in exercising any power or right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any power or right.

9.

SEVERABILITY.  If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, portions of such provisions, or such provisions in their entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

10.

CONSTRUCTION.  This Agreement has been entered into freely by each of the parties, following consultation with their respective counsel, and shall be interpreted fairly in accordance with its respective terms, without any construction in favor of or against either party.

11.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and any and all other written or oral agreements existing between the parties hereto are expressly canceled.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
