2022
STOCK OPTION PLAN


 


The
purposes of the Bright Mountain Media, Inc. 2022 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) is to attract and retain the best available
personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to Employees, Directors and Consultants, and to

plans (“Previous Option Plans”) which are now terminated. No additional awards will be granted under the Previous Option
Plans, provided however, that each outstanding award under the Previous Option Plans will remain outstanding under the Previous Option
Plans and will continued to be governed by its terms and any applicable award agreement.

    of the Plan.


 


(a)
General. The Plan shall be administered by the Board, a Committee appointed by the Board, or any combination thereof, as determined
by the Board. The Board may also appoint a third party record keeper to assist with the administration and record keeping of the Plan.
If a Committee has been appointed pursuant to this Section 2, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until

applicable, (i) the individuals to whom grants shall be made under the Plan, (ii) the type, size and terms of the grants to be made to
each such individual, (iii) the time when the grants will be made and the duration of any applicable exercise period, including the criteria
for exercisability and the acceleration of exercisability, and (iv) changes or modifications to the terms and conditions of Options or
to the terms of any previously issued grant. The Board shall have the final authority regarding any of the items listed in this Section
3(b). The Committee shall have full power and authority to administer and interpret the Plan, to make factual determinations and to adopt
or amend such rules, regulations, agreements and instruments for implementing the Plan and for the conduct of its business as it deems
necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion. The Committee’s interpretations of the Plan and all determinations made by the
Committee pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having any interest in the Plan
or in any awards granted hereunder. All powers of the Committee shall be executed in its sole discretion, in the best interest of the
Company, and in keeping with the objectives of the Plan and need not be uniform as to similarly situated individuals.


 


(c)
Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws, each member of the Committee (including officers of the Company,
if applicable), or of the Board, as applicable, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (i) any loss,

shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend any such claim, action, suit or proceeding before he
or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of
any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws,
by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any other power that the Company may have to indemnify or hold harmless each
such person.

	 	3.	Shares
    Subject to the Plan.


 


(a)
Shares Authorized. Subject to adjustment as described below, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that
may be issued under the Plan is 22,500,000 shares. The Company may establish certain minimum or maximum numbers of shares to be issued
to each eligible Employee, Consultant or Director or the Company may also establish a policy for the number of awards to be granted based
on the participant’s compensation, tenure or position. The shares may be authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or reacquired
shares of Common Stock, including shares purchased by the Company on the open market for purposes of the Plan. If and to the extent Options
granted under the Plan terminate, expire, or are canceled, forfeited, exchanged or surrendered without having been exercised, the shares
subject to such Options shall again be available for purposes of the Plan.


 


(b)
Adjustments. If there is any change in the number or kind of shares of Common Stock outstanding (i) by reason of a stock dividend,
spinoff, recapitalization, stock split, or combination or exchange of shares, (ii) by reason of a merger, reorganization or consolidation
in which the Company is the surviving corporation, (iii) by reason of a reclassification or change in par value, or (iv) by reason of
any other extraordinary or unusual event affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration,
or if the value of outstanding shares of Common Stock is substantially reduced as a result of a spinoff or the Company’s payment
of an extraordinary dividend or distribution, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for Options, the maximum number
of shares of Common Stock that any individual participating in the Plan may be granted in any year, the number of shares covered by outstanding
Options, the kind of shares issued under the Plan, and the price per share or the applicable market value of such Options may be appropriately
adjusted by a recommendation of the Committee, approved by the Board, to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of, or change
in the kind or value of, issued shares of Common Stock to preclude, to the extent practicable, the enlargement or dilution of rights
and benefits under such Options; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be eliminated. Any
adjustments determined by the Board shall be final, binding and conclusive.


 


	 	4.	Eligibility
    for Participation.



 


All
Employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who have completed the 90 day probationary period, shall be eligible to participate in
the Plan. Consultants and Directors are also eligible to participate in the Plan. Only Employees may be awarded Incentive Stock Options
under the Plan. The Committee, upon recommendation from Company management, shall recommend to the Board the Employees, Directors and
Consultants to receive Awards.


 


	 	5.	Stock
    Options.


 


(a)
Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant
Options in such amounts as the Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine.


 


(b)
Option Agreement. Each Award of an Option will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term
of the Option, the number of shares subject to the Option, the vesting schedule and the exercise restrictions applicable to the Option,
and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine.


 




    	5



     


    

 


(c)
Limitations. Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock
Option. Notwithstanding such designation, however, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans
of the Company or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section
6(c), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, the Fair Market Value of the shares
will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such shares is granted, and calculation will be performed in accordance
with Code Section 422 and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.


 


(d)
Term of Option. The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term will be no more
than 10 years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the
Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of
the Company or any Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five years from the date of grant or such shorter term
as may be provided in the Award Agreement.


 


(e)
Option Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option will be
determined by the Board, but will be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. In addition,
in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, the per share exercise price will be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of
a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, Options may be granted with
a per share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described
in, and in a manner consistent with, Code Section 424(a).


 


(f)
Vesting Schedule. A Participant will vest in Options granted under the Plan over a four (4) year period with 25% vesting on the
first year anniversary of the date of grant and another 25% vesting on the second, third and fourth year anniversary of the date of grant
provided Participant is still an Employee, Consultant or Director on the applicable vesting date. The Company may elect to designate
in a Participant’s Award Agreement an alternative vesting schedule, or no vesting schedule. The Company may also elect to accelerate
part or all of the vesting of a Participant’s Options.


 


(g)
Exercise of Options. Options shall become exercisable in accordance with such terms and conditions, consistent with the Plan,
and specified in the Award Agreement. A Participant may exercise an Option that has become exercisable, in whole or in part, by delivering
a notice of exercise to the Company with payment of the Exercise Price. The Participant shall pay the Exercise Price for an Option (w)
in cash, (x) with the approval of the Committee, by delivering shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant (including Common Stock
acquired in connection with the exercise of an Option, subject to such restrictions as the Committee deems appropriate) and having a
Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price or by attestation (on a form prescribed by the Committee) to ownership
of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price, (y) payment through a broker
in accordance with procedures permitted by Applicable Laws, or (z) by such other method as the Committee may approve. Shares of Common
Stock used to exercise an Option shall have been held by the Participant for the requisite period of time to avoid adverse accounting
consequences to the Company with respect to the Option. The Participant shall pay the Exercise Price and the amount of any withholding
tax due at the time of exercise.


 




    	6



     


    

 


(h)
No Shareholder Rights. Until the shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a
duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist
with respect to the shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued)
such shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date
is prior to the date the shares are issued.


 


	 	6.	Exercise
    Rules Upon Termination of Employment or Services.


 


(a)
Termination of Employment or Services. If a Participant ceases to be an Employee, Consultant or Director other than upon the Participant’s
termination as the result of the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his Option for three months following
the Participant’s termination of services. (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in
the Award Agreement) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination of services. If on the date of termination the
Participant is not vested in his entire Option, the shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will be forfeited and revert
to the Plan. If the Participant does not exercise the vested portion of his Option within the three (3) month period specified above,
the Option will terminate, and the shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant
is terminated for Cause, the Participant’s vested and unvested Options shall be immediately forfeited.


 


(b)
Disability or Death of Participant. If a Participant ceases to be an Employee, Consultant or Director as a result of the Participant’s
Disability or Death, the Participant’s Options shall remain exercisable for 12 months following the Participant’s death or
Disability (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option) to the extent the Option is vested on the date of death
or Disability. If on the date of a Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant is not vested as to his entire Option, the
shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If the Participant does not exercise the vested portion
of his Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.


 


	 	7.	Withholding
    of Taxes.


 


(a)
Required Withholding. All Awards under the Plan shall be subject to applicable federal (including FICA), state and local tax withholding
requirements. In the case of Options, the Company may require that the Participant or other person receiving or exercising Options to
pay to the Company the amount of any federal, state or local taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such Options,
or the Company may deduct from other wages paid by the Company the amount of any withholding taxes due with respect to such Options.


 




    	7



     


    

 


(b)
Election to Withhold Shares. If the Board so permits, a Participant may elect to satisfy the Company’s income tax withholding
obligation with respect to Options by having shares withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the Participant’s minimum applicable
withholding tax rate for federal (including FICA), state and local tax liabilities. The election must be in a form and manner prescribed
by the Board and may be subject to the prior approval of the Committee.


 


	 	8.	Transferability
    of Grants.


 


(a)
No Transferability of Options. Except as provided below, only the Participant may exercise rights under an Award during the Participant
‘s lifetime. A Participant may not transfer those rights except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, with respect
to Options other than Incentive Stock Options, if permitted in any specific case by the Committee, pursuant to a domestic relations order.
When a Participant dies, the personal representative or other person entitled to succeed to the rights of the Participant may exercise
such rights, and must furnish proof satisfactory to the Company of his right to receive the Options under the Participant ‘s will
or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution.


 


(b)
Transfer of Nonqualified Stock Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may provide, in an Award Agreement, that a Participant
may transfer Nonqualified Stock Options to family members, or one or more trusts or other entities for the benefit of or owned by family
members, consistent with the applicable securities laws, according to such terms as the Board may determine; provided that the Participant
receives no consideration for the transfer of an Option and the transferred Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and
conditions as were applicable to the Option immediately before the transfer.


 


	 	9.	Consequences
    of a Change of Control.


 


(a)
Assumption of Options. Upon a Change of Control where the Company is not the surviving corporation (or survives only as a subsidiary
of another corporation), unless the Board determines otherwise, all outstanding Options that are not exercised shall be assumed by, or
replaced with comparable options or rights by the surviving corporation (or a parent of the surviving corporation), and other outstanding
Options shall be converted to similar grants of the surviving corporation (or a parent of the surviving corporation).


 


(b)
Other Alternatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control, the Board may, but shall not be obligated
to, take any of the following actions with respect to any or all outstanding Options: the Committee may (i) determine that outstanding
Options shall automatically accelerate and become fully exercisable, (ii) require that Participant s surrender their outstanding Options
in exchange for a payment by the Company, in cash or Common Stock as determined by the Committee, in an amount equal to the amount by
which the then Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Participant ‘s unexercised Options exceeds the Exercise
Price of the Options, or (iii) after giving Participants an opportunity to exercise their outstanding Options, terminate any or all unexercised
Options at such time as the Board deems appropriate. Such surrender, termination or settlement shall take place as of the date of the
Change of Control or such other date as the Board may specify. The Board shall have no obligation to take any of the foregoing actions,
and, in the absence of any such actions, outstanding Options shall continue in effect according to their terms (subject to any assumption
referenced above).

to the satisfaction of the Board. The Board shall have the right to condition any Award made to any Participant hereunder on such Participant
‘s undertaking in writing to comply with such restrictions on his or her subsequent disposition of such shares of Common Stock
as the Board shall deem necessary or advisable, and certificates representing such shares may be legended to reflect any such restrictions.
Certificates representing shares of Common Stock issued or transferred under the Plan will be subject to such stop-transfer orders and
other restrictions as may be required by applicable laws, regulations and interpretations, including any requirement that a legend be
placed thereon.

Lock-Up Period. If so requested by the Company or any representative of the underwriters (the “Managing Underwriter”)
in connection with any underwritten offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), a Participant (including any successors or assigns) shall not sell or otherwise transfer any shares or other securities
of the Company during the 30-day period preceding and the 120-day period following the effective date of a registration statement of
the Company filed under the Securities Act for such underwriting(or such shorter period as may be requested by the Managing Underwriter
and agreed to by the Company) (the “Market Standoff Period”). The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect
to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such Market Standoff Period.

not materially impair the rights of a Participant unless the Participant consents or unless the Board action is required pursuant to
Applicable Laws. The termination of the Plan shall not impair the power and authority of the Board with respect to an outstanding Award.
