Effective

Pursuant to the Second Amendment, unless otherwise terminated pursuant to Sections 4.1-4.7, Mr. Sutherland’s employment as
CFO for the Company will continue through March 1, 2020 (the “Initial Term”). Unless Mr. Sutherland or the Company
provides notice of non-renewal at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Initial Term, Mr. Sutherland’s employment
will automatically be extended after the Initial Term and continue on an ongoing basis until terminated pursuant to Sections 4.1-4.7

Term, (ii) terminated directly by the Company without Due Cause (as defined in the Sutherland Employment Agreement, as amended),

of termination or constructive termination.

(ii)
|
the amount of annual bonus award, if any, paid in the year prior to termination or constructive
termination; provided, however, that if Mr. Sutherland’s employment is not extended beyond the Initial Term, he will not
be eligible to receive this bonus payment which is contemplated by clause (b) of Section 4.4 of the Sutherland Employment Agreement,
as amended.
|
|
(iii)
|
COBRA continuation coverage during the severance period under the Company’s health plan for
Mr. Sutherland and his eligible dependents that were covered under the health plan at the time of his termination at the same premium
charged to active employees during such period.

Payment of the Severance Compensation to
Mr. Sutherland continues to be subject to him executing, and not revoking, a release of claims. If Mr. Sutherland is terminated
for any reason he is prohibited from competing with the Company, soliciting its customers or trying to hire its employees for the
period in which he receives the Severance Compensation, if any, plus one year.
In addition, pursuant to the Second Amendment
Mr. Sutherland will be eligible for an annual bonus under the NAV Program (defined below) in a target amount of twenty-five percent
(25%) of the available bonus pool. Mr. Sutherland’s salary is reviewed annually and he is eligible to receive long-term incentive
awards. Mr. Sutherland will receive an annualized salary of $250,000 effective January 1, 2019 and will receive an award of 25,000
shares of restricted stock under the CCUR Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”)
which shall vest in three equal installments on the anniversary of the grant date.
The foregoing description of the Second
Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Second Amendment, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 10.1 hereto
and incorporated herein by reference.
Adoption of 2019 CCUR Bonus Plan
On January 1, 2019, upon the recommendation
of the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Board adopted the 2019 CCUR Bonus Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and also
referred to herein as the “NAV Program”, pursuant to which certain employees of the Company have the opportunity, among
other things, to earn cash and equity incentive awards through a program based on growth in the Company’s net asset value
(“NAV”). The NAV Program replaces the Company’s previous “Annual Incentive Bonus” program implemented
for senior employees. The NAV Program is subject to, and where applicable, governed by, the terms of the Stock Plan.
Pursuant to the terms of the NAV
Program, each participant in the program is eligible to receive a portion of a bonus pool allocated by the Compensation
Committee based on the Company’s NAV growth in a calendar year net of a five percent (5%) required return threshold,
subject to certain adjustments and exclusions as set forth therein. The Compensation Committee will determine the
participants of the NAV Program and the allocations of the share of the bonus pool among such participants. As set forth in
the Second Amendment, twenty-five percent (25%) of the bonus pool has been allocated to Mr. Sutherland.
For each NAV Program participant, their
portion of the bonus pool shall be awarded as follows: (a) fifty percent (50%) of the award value will be paid in cash within seventy-four
(74) days after the end of the calendar year for which it is awarded; and (b) fifty percent (50%) will be paid in cash, equity
or a combination thereof, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and subject to the limitations set forth in the Stock
Plan.
The foregoing description of the NAV Program
is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2019 CCUR Bonus Plan, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 10.2 hereto
and incorporated herein by reference.
