(the “Buyer”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Wantickets RDM, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), Danco Enterprises, LLC, a New York limited liability company and the managing member of Gamwant LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the ultimate parent company of the Seller, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, an individual, and Gamtix LLC, a New York limited liability company, the Company will acquire the Purchased Assets for 2,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and certain other consideration, on the terms and conditions set forth in the APA (the “Acquisition”); and

WHEREAS, the APA provides that, among other things, all of the Shares to be issued to the Restricted Holder pursuant to the APA (collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to certain restrictions on Disposition (as defined below) during the period of twenty-four (24) months immediately following the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), subject to certain conditions all as more fully set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to and in consideration of the Company’s and Buyer’s agreement to enter into the APA and proceed with the Acquisition, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.	Lock Up Period.

(a) During the Restricted Period, the Restricted Holder will not, directly or indirectly: (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, make any short sale, lend or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Restricted Securities or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Restricted Securities (with the actions described in clause (i) or (ii) above being hereinafter referred to as a “Disposition”); provided, however, that if the Company engages in an underwritten public offering of its equity or convertible securities prior to the end of the Restricted Period, the managing underwriter may waive the balance of the Restricted Period if requested by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion. The foregoing restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude the Restricted Holder from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of any of the Restricted Securities of the Restricted Holder during the Restricted Period, even if such securities would be disposed of by someone other than the Restricted Holder. The Restricted Holder may sell some or all of the Restricted Securities so long as the purchaser complies with the provisions of Section 1(c) of this Agreement.

(b) In addition, during the Restricted Period, the Restricted Holder will not, directly or indirectly, effect or agree to effect any short sale (as defined in Rule 200 under Regulation SHO of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), whether or not against the box, establish any “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) with respect to any shares of Common Stock, borrow or pre-borrow any shares of Common Stock, or grant any other right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to shares of Common Stock or with respect to any security that includes, is convertible into or exercisable for or derives any significant part of its value from shares of Common Stock or otherwise seek to hedge the Restricted Holder’s position in the Common Stock.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Restricted Holder shall be permitted to engage in any Disposition (w) where the transferee agrees in writing that the Restricted Securities shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement and such transferee is approved by the Company in its reasonable discretion, (x) where such Disposition is in connection with estate planning purposes, including, without limitation to an inter-vivos trust and the transferee takes title to such shares subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement, (y) upon the written approval of the Company and the lead underwriter in any underwritten public offering of Company’s securities for gross proceeds to the Company of at least $50 million, or (z) where such Disposition is to an affiliate of such Restricted Holder (including entities wholly owned by such Restricted Holder or one or more trusts where such Restricted Holder is the grantor of such trust(s)), and with respect to each clause (w) through (z) above (inclusive), as long as such transferee executes a copy of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall not apply to any shares of Common Stock acquired by Restricted Holder in the open market after the closing of the Acquisition.

2.	Legends; Stop Transfer Instructions.

(a) In addition to any legends to reflect applicable transfer restrictions under federal or state securities laws, each stock certificate representing Restricted Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with the following legend:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MAY 5, 2017, BETWEEN THE HOLDER HEREOF AND THE ISSUER AND MAY ONLY BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS THEREOF.”

(b) The Restricted Holder hereby agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Restricted Securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Restricted Securities held by the Restricted Holder except in compliance with this Agreement.

3.	Miscellaneous.

(a) Periodic Reports. The Company shall be permitted at any time to request from the Restricted Holder such person’s brokerage statement summary with respect to the Restricted Securities covering any period during the Restricted Period, and the Restricted Holder shall in good faith provide such statement to the Company within three (3) business days of the date of such request.

(b) Specific Performance. The Restricted Holder agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Restricted Holder of any covenant, obligation or other provision contained in this Agreement, then the Company shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to the Company) to: (i) a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision; and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. The Restricted Holder further agrees that neither the Company nor any other person or entity shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 3, and the Restricted Holder irrevocably waives any right that he, she, or it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

(c) Other Agreements. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Company or the Restricted Holder under the APA, or any of the rights or remedies or any of the obligations of the Company or the Restricted Holder under any other agreement between the Restricted Holder and the Company or any certificate or instrument executed by either party in favor of the other; and nothing in the APA or in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies or any of the obligations of the Company or the Restricted Holder under this Agreement.
