CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT

This CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August 13, 2019, by and among Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”) and Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Consultant”). Company and Consultant may be referred to individually herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Company desires to engage Consultant to provide certain services required by Company, including, without limitation, administrative and accounting services, and Consultant is willing to accept such engagement, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the terms and provisions set forth herein and the mutual benefits to be gained by the performance thereof and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Services.

1.1Company hereby engages Consultant, as of the date hereof (the “Effective Date”), to provide the services set forth on Schedule I (the “Services”).

1.2Consultant hereby accepts the engagement provided for in Section 1.1 above and agrees to perform the duties and responsibilities set forth herein during the term of this Agreement.

1.3Company shall provide direction to Consultant where material business decisions are required in the performance of the Services. Where necessary for the performance of the Services, Company may, in its reasonable discretion designate Consultant as its authorized agent.

1.4Consultant may not delegate its principal, decision-making authority under this Agreement to any person other than to the employees of Consultant. Nothing contained herein will be deemed to create an employment, agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between the Company and Consultant or any of their respective agents or employees, or any other legal arrangement that would impose liability upon one party for the act or failure to act of the other party. Neither Consultant or the Company will have any express or implied power to enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other party, or to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever without the other party’s prior written consent.

2.Performance Obligations.

2.1The Services will be provided in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with standard practices of similar providers of such services to similarly situated companies engaged in the eSports industry. Consultant agrees not to terminate any of its employees employed as of the Effective Date except for (i) any conviction of the employee, or plea of guilty or no contest by the employee, to a felony or (ii) any act or acts of dishonesty by the employee intended to result in personal enrichment to the Executive at the expense of the Consultant or Company.

1

2.2Company shall pay Consultant, as compensation for the Services, the amounts set forth on Schedule II (the “Consulting Fee”) to be paid on the first day of each month during the term of this Agreement, provided that the initial payment shall be made on the Effective Date. The Consulting Fee shall be paid by wire transfer into a bank account designated by Consultant in writing. Consultant and Company agree that if any employee of Consultant is no longer employed by Company at any point during the Term of the Agreement, the Consulting Fee shall be reduced to the extent of the portion of the Consulting Fee allocated to such employee's compensation and benefit expense as set forth on Schedule II.

2.3Consultant shall maintain adequate accounting records, which in reasonable detail fairly and accurately reflect the Services contemplated hereunder. During the term of this Agreement and for three (3) years thereafter, Consultant shall afford to Company’s representatives, advisers and consultants the right (the “Audit Right”) to review and examine the books and records of Consultant which relate to the provisions of the Services at any reasonable time during the regular business hours of Consultant. The fees and expenses of the Audit Right shall be borne by Company.

3.Independent Contractor Status.

3.1Consultant and all affiliates and employees of either Consultant or any of its affiliates providing Services hereunder shall be engaged in a capacity as an independent contractor with full control over the manner and method of performance of the Services, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement.

3.2Company and Consultant understand and agree that Consultant’s relationship to Company under this Agreement is strictly a contractual arrangement on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and each party hereby waives any and all rights that it may otherwise have under applicable law or legal precedents to make any claims or take any action against the other party’s affiliates, officers, directors, members, agents or representatives based on any theory of agency, fiduciary duty or other special standard of care. Neither Consultant or the Company will have any express or implied power to enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other party, or to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever without the other party’s prior written consent.

4.Term and Termination. This Agreement shall remain in effect until December 31, 2019. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company can terminate this Agreement with respect to the Consultant or with respect to any individual employee of Consultant as set forth on Schedule II at any time for any or no reason; provided, however, that in the event of such early termination, Company will pay to Consultant, on a monthly basis (pro-rata for any partial month) the remaining amounts due pursuant to this Agreement (net of any amounts due to any Consultant Employee as set forth in Section 2.2) through the end of the Term.
