 Pursuant to the Brightcove Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) as amended through the
date hereof, Brightcove Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants a Restricted Stock Award (an “Award”) to the Grantee named above. Upon acceptance of this Award, the Grantee shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock, par value
$0.001 per share (the “Stock”) of the Company specified above, subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan. The Company acknowledges the receipt from the Grantee of consideration with respect to the par
value of the Stock in the form of cash, past or future services rendered to the Company by the Grantee or such other form of consideration as is acceptable to the Administrator. 

1. Award. The shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder shall be issued and held by the Company’s transfer agent in book
entry form, and the Grantee’s name shall be entered as the stockholder of record on the books of the Company. Thereupon, the Grantee shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such shares, including voting and dividend rights,
subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions specified in Paragraph 2 below. The Grantee shall (i) sign and deliver to the Company a copy of this Award Agreement and (ii) deliver to the Company a stock power endorsed in blank.

 2. Restrictions and Conditions. 
 (a) Any book entries for the shares of Restricted Stock granted herein shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, to the effect that such shares are
subject to restrictions as set forth herein and in the Plan. 
 (b) Shares of Restricted Stock granted herein may not be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee prior to vesting. 
 (c) If the
Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason (including death) prior to vesting of shares of Restricted Stock granted herein, all shares of Restricted Stock shall
immediately and automatically be forfeited and returned to the Company. 
 3. Vesting of Restricted Stock. The
restrictions and conditions in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement shall lapse on the Vesting Date or Dates specified in the following schedule so long 







 
as the Grantee remains an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary on such Dates. If a series of Vesting Dates is specified, then the restrictions and conditions in Paragraph 2 shall lapse
only with respect to the number of shares of Restricted Stock specified as vested on such date.

 Subsequent to such Vesting Date or Dates, the shares of Stock on which all restrictions and conditions
have lapsed shall no longer be deemed Restricted Stock. The Administrator may at any time accelerate the vesting schedule specified in this Paragraph 3. 
 4. Dividends. Dividends on shares of Restricted Stock shall be paid currently to the Grantee. 
 5. Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Award shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the
Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein. 

6. Transferability. This Agreement is personal to the Grantee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by
operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
 7. Tax Withholding. The
Grantee shall, not later than the date as of which the receipt of this Award becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of any Federal, state, and
local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. Except in the case where an election is made pursuant to Paragraph 8 below, the Company shall have the authority to cause the required minimum tax withholding obligation to
be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from shares of Stock to be issued or released by the transfer agent a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due. 

8. Election Under Section 83(b). The Grantee and the Company hereby agree that the Grantee may, within 30 days following the
Grant Date of this Award, file with the Internal Revenue Service and the Company an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. In the event the Grantee makes such an election, he or she agrees to provide a copy of the election
to the Company. The Grantee acknowledges that he or she is responsible for obtaining the advice of his or her tax advisors with regard to the Section 83(b) election and that he or she is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements
or representations of the Company or any of its agents with regard to such election.

Grantee at any time. 
 10. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect
to this Award and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.

Notices. Notices hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal place of business and shall be mailed or delivered to the Grantee at the address on file with the Company or, in either case, at such other address as one
party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing.
