NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Legal


From time-to-time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2014 there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of our operations.


Lease Commitment


Leases


The Company leases its offices at 6400 Congress Avenue, Suite 2250, Boca Raton, Florida 33487 under a long-term non-cancellable lease agreement, which contains renewal options and no escalations for the lease term. The lease, which was entered into on January 3, 2011, is for approximately 2,000 square feet for a term of 39 months in Boca Raton, Florida at a base rent of approximately $4,000 per month and required payment of a security deposit of $3,700. On September 30, 2013, the Company entered into a lease amendment wherein the Company leased Suite 1200 for an additional 1,017 square feet for a term of 39 months with a termination date of December 31, 2016. An additional security deposit of $1,000 was paid upon execution of the lease amendment. Rent is all-inclusive and includes electricity, heat, air-conditioning, and water.


The Company's lease for Suite 2250 expired March 31, 2014. The Company anticipates executing a new lease for Suite 2050. As of today, the Company has not signed a new lease and is on a month-to-month lease.


Rent expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $35,660 and $21,518 respectively.


Other Commitments


The Company entered into various contracts or agreements in the normal course of business, which may contain commitments. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company entered into agreements with third party vendors to supply website content and data, website software development, advertising, public relations, and legal services. All of these commitments contain provisions whereby either party may terminate the agreement with specified notice, normally 30 days, and with no further obligation on the part of either party.


All expenses and liabilities relating to such contracts were recorded in accordance with GAAP during all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.


The Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, with an effective date of June 1, 2014. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company will compensate the Chief Executive Officer with a base salary of $75,000 annually, and he is entitled to receive discretionary bonuses as may be awarded by the Company's Board of Directors from time to time. The initial term of the agreement is three years, and the Company may extend it for an additional one-year period upon written notice at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the term.


The agreement will terminate upon the Chief Executive Officer's death or disability. In the event of a termination upon his death, the Company is obligated to pay his beneficiary or estate an amount equal to one year base salary plus any earned bonus at the time of his death. In the event the agreement is terminated as a result of his disability, as defined in the agreement, he is entitled to continue to receive his base salary for a period of one year. The Company is also entitled to terminate the agreement either with or without case, and the Chief Executive Officer is entitled to voluntarily terminate the agreement upon one year's notice to the Company. In the event of a termination by the Company for cause, as defined in the agreement, or voluntarily by the Chief Executive Officer, the Company is obligated to pay him the base salary through the date of termination. In the event the Company terminates the agreement without cause, the Company is obligated to give him one years' notice of the Company's intent to terminate and, at the end of the one year period, pay an amount equal to two times his annual base salary together with any bonuses which may have been earned as of the date of termination. A constructive termination of the agreement will also occur if the Company materially breaches any term of the agreement or if a successor company to Bright Mountain Acquisition Corporation fails to assume the Company's obligations under the employment agreement. In that event, the Chief Executive Officer will be entitled to the same compensation as if the Company terminated the agreement without cause.


The employment agreement contains customary non-compete and confidentiality provisions. The Company also agreed to indemnify the Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the provisions of the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Restated By-laws.


The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the employment agreement with the Chief Executive Officer is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreement, which was filed as an Exhibit and available on the Company's Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 3, 2014.
