RECITALS

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Sheet attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Term Sheet”), the Company is offering and selling shares of the Company’s Series AAA Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Series AAA Preferred”) to certain accredited investors, at a price of $1,000 per share, pursuant to certain Subscription Agreements dated as of the date hereof (the “Subscription Agreements”, the shares issued and sold thereunder the “Sale Shares”, and such transaction hereinafter, the “Concurrent Offering”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Concurrent Offering, the Company is providing the holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred and Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (including any and all subseries thereof, the “Series AA Preferred”), with the option to exchange certain shares of Series A Preferred and/or Series AA Preferred, as applicable, into shares of Series AAA Preferred, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Subscription Agreement, and the Term Sheet, subject, however, to inter alia, such holder meeting the Minimum Exchange Requirements (as defined below);

WHEREAS, each Holder has executed and delivered to the Company a Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which each Holder has subscribed to purchase a number of Sale Shares in the Concurrent Offering equal to at least the Minimum Shares (as defined below);

WHEREAS, each Holder is the “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the number of shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred set forth opposite such Holder’s name on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Current Shares”);

WHEREAS, each Holder desires to exchange (the “Exchange”) that number of its Current Shares, as set forth under the heading “Shares Exchanged” on Schedule A (the “Exchanged Shares”), for the number of shares of Series AAA Preferred set forth under the heading “Shares Received” on Schedule A attached hereto (such shares of Series AAA Preferred to be issued as consideration for the Exchange, the “Exchange Shares”); and

WHEREAS, the shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share “Common Stock”), issuable upon conversion of the Series AAA Preferred, are referred to herein as the “AAA Conversion Shares” (together with the Series AAA Preferred, the “Securities”; and each, a “Security”), and the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to the holders of Series AAA Preferred as dividends in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designation (as defined below) are referred to herein as “Dividend Shares”.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby agreed and acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

“Initial Aggregate Shares” shall mean the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred each holder purchased in any closing or closings of the offering of the Series A Preferred.

“Minimum Investment” means the purchase of Sale Shares in the Concurrent Offering with an aggregate purchase price of at least (a) $1,000, multiplied by (b) the number of each Holder’s Exchanged Shares; provided, however, in the event the stated value of any Holder’s Exchanged Shares does not equal at least 50% of the stated value of such Holder’s Initial Aggregate Shares, such Holder’s “Minimum Investment” to meet the Minimum Exchange Requirements shall be the purchase of Sale Shares in the Concurrent Offering with an aggregate purchase price of at least (y) $1,000, multiplied by (z) 50% of such Holder’s Initial Aggregate Shares.

“Minimum Exchange Requirements” means (a) an exchange by each Holder of at least the Minimum Shares and (b) the purchase of Sale Shares with a purchase price of at least the Minimum Investment. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Holder fails to meet either (a) or (b) in this definition, such holder will not qualify to exchange such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred, and such Holder will only receive the number of Series AAA Preferred purchased as Sale Shares in the Concurrent Offering.

“Minimum Shares” means at least that number of Exchanged Shares equal to 50% of each Holder’s Initial Aggregate Shares; provided, however, in the event a Holder has previously converted more than 50% of such Holder’s Initial Aggregate Shares into Common Stock, such Holder’s “Minimum Shares” to meet the Minimum Exchange Requirements shall be the exchange of 100% of such Holder’s remaining Current Shares.

2. Securities Exchange. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the parties agree as follows.

(a) each Holder hereby contributes and assigns to the Company all of such Holder’s right, title and interest, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, in and to all of its Exchanged Shares, and in furtherance of the foregoing, Holder hereby delivers evidence of electronic transfer of the Exchanged Shares to the account designated by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent, or agrees to promptly deliver such evidence as well as such other duly executed instruments of transfer reasonably requested, following delivery instructions from the Company or the Transfer Agent;

(b) the Company hereby issues the applicable Exchange Shares to each Holder as consideration for the Exchange and the Holder’s delivery of the Exchanged Shares, the instruments of transfer referenced in (a) above, subject to satisfaction of the Minimum Exchange Requirements;

(c) the closing under this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place upon the satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 hereof (the “Closing Date”), and shall occur substantially concurrently with, and subject to, the closing of the Concurrent Offering; and

(d) within five business (5) business days after any Closing for which Exchanged Shares are exchanged, the Company shall issue and deliver to each a Holder a book-entry statement evidencing the Exchange Shares against delivery of the Exchanged Shares to the Company.

3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Holder. Each Holder hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company and covenants for the benefit of the Company:

(e) Power and Authorization. This Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by each Holder and is a valid and binding agreement and obligation of each Holder enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to limitations on enforcement by general principles of equity and by bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and each Holder has full power and authority to execute and deliver the Agreement and the other agreements and documents contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(f) Accredited Investor. Each Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

(g) No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. The Holder is experienced in investments and business matters generally, has previously made similar investments and has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and other business matters as to enable the Holder to evaluate the merits and risks of and to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Exchange. Each Holder understands that nothing in the Transaction Documents, the SEC Reports or any other materials presented to Holder in connection with the Exchange for the Exchange Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Holder has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its Exchange of the Exchanged Shares for the Exchange Shares. Each Holder has evaluated the tax and other consequences of the Exchange of the Exchanged Shares and ownership of the Exchange Shares with its tax, accounting or legal advisors, including the consequences to such Holder of the Exchange and issuance of the Exchange Shares for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. Holder acknowledges that it has not relied on any representation or warranty from the Company or any other Person in making its decision to enter into the Exchange with the Company, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(h) Investment Purposes. Each Holder will be acquiring the Exchange Shares for its own account, for investment purposes, and not with a view to any resale or distribution in whole or in part, in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities laws.

(i) Title to Current Shares. Each Holder owns and holds, beneficially and of record, the entire right, title, and interest in and to the Current Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances (as defined below), and each Stockholder has full power and authority to transfer and dispose of the Exchanged Shares free and clear of any Encumbrance. Other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, there is no outstanding plan, pending proposal, or other right of any person to acquire all or any of the Exchanged Shares. “Encumbrances” shall mean any security or other property interest or right, claim, lien, pledge, option, charge, security interest, contingent or conditional sale, or other title claim or retention agreement, interest or other right or claim of third parties, whether perfected or not perfected, voluntarily incurred or arising by operation of law, and including any agreement (other than this Agreement) to grant or submit to any of the foregoing in the future.

(j) Acknowledgement of Concurrent Offering. The Holder understands and acknowledges that concurrently with the Exchange, the Company is issuing and selling the Company’s Series AAA Preferred to certain other purchasers pursuant to the Subscription Agreements in the Concurrent Offering.

(k) Minimum Exchange Requirements. Each Holder represents that, to its knowledge, the number of such Holder’s Exchanged Shares is at least equal to the Minimum Shares, and the number of Sale Shares being subscribed to by such Holder has a purchase price of at least the Minimum Investment.

(l) Stockholder Approval. The Holder understands and acknowledges that (a) certain provisions and terms contained in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series AAA Preferred Stock of Super League Enterprise, Inc. (the “Certificate of Designation”) regarding conversion price adjustments, (b) the availability of certain additional investment rights as set forth in Section 6 of the Subscription Agreements, and (c) the Concurrent Offering and issuance of the Exchange Shares and Sale Shares is conditioned upon, among other things, the receipt by the Company of (i) the Stockholder Approval, (ii) the Series A Consent (as defined below) and (iii) the Series AA Consent (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, (y) “Stockholder Approval” means the receipt by the Company of the approval, by vote or action by written consent, of a majority of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company, voting on an as-converted basis, together as a single class with respect to (1) issuances of Common Stock in excess of the 19.99% or that could otherwise cause a “Change in Control” as required by the applicable Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Listing Rules”), (2) adjustments to the conversion price of the Series AAA Preferred pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(ii) and Section 7.1(a)(iii) of the Certificate of Designation, and (3) the potential sale and issuance of additional Series AAA Preferred pursuant to the exercise of additional investment rights set forth in Section 6 of the Subscription Agreements; and (z) “Preferred Consents” means the receipt by the Company of the consent of the holders of a majority of each of the Series A Preferred (the “Series A Consent”) and the Series AA Preferred (“Series AA Consent”), each of the Series A Preferred and Series AA Preferred each voting as each series’ own class, to consent to the creation of a parity security, as well as the receipt by the Company of the consent of the holders of a majority of each series of Series AA Preferred, voting as separate classes, to the potential issuance of securities below the conversion price floor of each respective subseries of the Series AA Preferred.
