EXHIBIT 10.1


AGREEMENT


 


This Agreement
(this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 18, 2015, by and among Qumu Corporation (the “Company”)
and Dolphin Limited Partnership III, L.P. (“Dolphin III”), Dolphin Associates III, LLC, and Dolphin Holdings Corp.
III (collectively, “Dolphin”) (each of the Company and Dolphin, a “Party” to this Agreement,
and collectively, the “Parties”).


 


RECITALS


 


WHEREAS, the Company
and Dolphin were parties to an Agreement dated March 18, 2013, as amended on October 31, 2013 (the “Prior Agreement”);


 


WHEREAS, the Prior
Agreement has terminated by its terms and the Company and Dolphin desire to enter into this Agreement;


 


NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound
hereby, agree as follows:


 


1.                  
Board Matters


 


		(a)	If requested in writing by Dolphin on or before the Initial Standstill Period (defined below)(which
request may be made only one time during this period) (the “Request”), the Board shall increase the authorized
number of directors and appoint Donald T. Netter (the “Dolphin Director”) as a member of the Board of Directors
of the Company (“Board”) to fill the vacancy created thereby and as a member of the Governance Committee and
Compensation Committee of the Board, provided that, on the date of such request, Dolphin beneficially owns in the aggregate at
least 4.5% of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”). If at any time
that the Dolphin Director is serving on the Board, Dolphin sells Common Stock such that it ceases to beneficially own in the aggregate
at least 4.5% of the then outstanding Common Stock, the Dolphin Director shall immediately submit his resignation as a Board member
and as a member of any committee upon which he serves. If the Board determines to accept the resignation, it shall provide a reason
to Dolphin for such acceptance. For avoidance of doubt, such resignation may be accepted in the sole discretion of the Board for
no reason other than such reduction in ownership. If the Dolphin Director is appointed to the Board, the Dolphin Director may not
be removed by the Board at anytime prior to the 2016 Annual Meeting (as defined below), other than for cause or as a result of
Dolphin selling Common Stock such that it ceases to beneficially own in the aggregate at least 4.5% of the then outstanding Common
Stock. For avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall require the Board to nominate the Dolphin Director for election to the 



 




    	 



    	 



    


Board at the 2016 annual meeting of shareholders
of the Company (“2016 Annual Meeting”), but if the Dolphin Director is serving on the Board at such time as
the Governance Committee and Board makes its determination of Board nominees in respect to the 2016 Annual Meeting, the Dolphin
Director will be considered using the same standards used for other Board nominees, including those recommended by a shareholder
of the Company. If the Request is made (i) prior to February 27, 2015 and not subsequently withdrawn prior to the date that is
at least twenty calendar days prior to the initial filing of the Company’s proxy statement for the 2015 Annual Meeting (as
defined below) (the “Filing Date”), the Company will, or (ii) on or after February 27, 2015 but at least twenty
calendar days prior to the Filing Date, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to, nominate, recommend, support
and solicit proxies for the election of the Dolphin Director to the Board in the same manner as for the Company’s other nominees
standing for election to the Board at the 2015 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (including any other meeting of shareholders
held in lieu thereof, and any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof, the “2015 Annual Meeting”).


 


		(b)	Upon the execution of this Agreement, during the Standstill Period (as defined below), Dolphin
hereby agrees not to (i) nominate any person for election at any meeting of shareholders of the Company, (ii) submit any proposal
for consideration at, or bring any other business before any meeting of shareholders, directly or indirectly, or (iii) initiate,
encourage or participate in any “withhold” or similar campaign with respect to any meeting of shareholders, directly
or indirectly, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates or Associates, as defined below, to do any of the items in this Section
1(b).  During the Standstill Period, Dolphin shall not publicly or privately encourage or support any other shareholder
to take any of the actions described in this Section 1(b).



 


		(c)	From the date of this Agreement, the Company’s obligations in Section 1(a) shall be subject
to the following: (i) the Dolphin Director must qualify as “independent” pursuant to NASDAQ listing standards and,
with respect to the committee appointments must meet the independence requirements applicable to committee members of such committee,
and (ii) there must not have been any material adverse change in the qualifications of the Dolphin Director as determined by the
Governance Committee in good faith after exercising its fiduciary duties.



 


		(d)	Whether or not the Request is made, Dolphin agrees to appear in person or by proxy at the 2015
Annual Meeting and vote all shares of Common Stock owned beneficially or of record by it (i) in favor of the election of each of
the Company’s nominees for election to the Board and (ii) in accordance with the Board’s recommendation on all other
proposals.



 




    	2



    	 



    



		(e)	Dolphin agrees that it will cause its Affiliates and Associates to comply with the terms of this
Agreement.  As used in this Agreement, the terms “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall
have the respective meanings set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), and
shall include all persons or entities that at any time during the term of this Agreement become Affiliates or Associates of any
person or entity referred to in this Agreement.



 


2.                  
Standstill Provisions


 


		(a)	Dolphin agrees that, from the date of this Agreement until the date that is (i) if a Request
is not submitted by Dolphin pursuant to Section 1(a), ten (10) business days prior to the deadline for the submission of shareholder
nominations for the 2016 Annual Meeting pursuant to the Company’s bylaws (the “Initial Standstill Period”)
or (ii) if a Request is submitted by Dolphin pursuant to Section 1(a), the later of (X) the Initial Standstill Period or (Y) the
date such Dolphin Director ceases to serve on the Board (such applicable period in clause (i) or (ii) shall be defined as the “Standstill
Period”), neither Dolphin, nor any of its Affiliates or Associates under its control or direction, nor any of the Affiliates

in a “solicitation” as such terms are defined in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act of proxies or consents (including,
without limitation, any solicitation of consents that seeks to call a special meeting of shareholders of the Company), in each
case, with respect to the Common Stock, other than in accordance with Section 1 of this Agreement; provided that nothing
in this subsection shall prohibit Dolphin from taking any action during the Standstill Period in support of the Dolphin Director
(including engaging in a solicitation of proxies for the election of the Dolphin Director) in connection with the 2015 Annual Meeting
(provided such Dolphin Director is nominated by the Board for election at such meeting) or any special meeting of the Company’s
shareholders called by a person or persons other than Dolphin for the purpose of removing or electing directors of the Company;



 




    	3



    	 



    


		(iii)	form, join or in any way participate in any “group” (within

all or some of the persons identified on Exhibit A, but does not include any other entities or persons not identified on
Exhibit A as of the date hereof); provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the ability of an Affiliate
of Dolphin to join the “group” following the execution of this Agreement, so long as any such Affiliate agrees to be
bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement;



 


		(iv)	deposit any Common Stock in any voting trust or subject any Common Stock
to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of any Common Stock, other than any such voting trust, arrangement or
agreement in accordance with this Agreement;



 


		(v)	(A) seek representation on the Board (other than in accordance with
Section 1 of this Agreement) or submit nominations in furtherance of a “contested solicitation” for the election or
removal of directors of the Company or take any other action with respect to the election or removal of any directors (other than
in accordance with Section 1 of this Agreement), (B) otherwise seek to control or influence the management, Board or policies of
the Company, other than the Dolphin Director in his capacity as such or (C) instigate, support, encourage or assist any third party
to do any of the actions set forth in clause (A) or (B) above; provided that nothing in this subsection shall prohibit Dolphin
from taking any action during the Standstill Period in support of the Dolphin Director (including engaging in a solicitation of
proxies for the election of the Dolphin Director) in connection with the 2015 Annual Meeting (provided such Dolphin Director is
required to be nominated by the Board for election at such meeting) or any special meeting of the Company’s shareholders
called by a person or persons other than Dolphin for the purpose of removing or electing directors of the Company;



 


		(vi)	(A) make any proposal for consideration by shareholders at any annual
or special meeting of shareholders of the Company, or (B) other than at the direction or with
the consent of the Board, in the Dolphin Director’s capacity as a director of the Company, or with respect to purchases of

with Section 1; provided however, that nothing in this subsection shall prohibit Dolphin from taking any action during the
Standstill Period in support of the Dolphin Director (including engaging in a solicitation of proxies for the election of the Dolphin
Director) in connection with the 2015 Annual Meeting (provided such Dolphin Director is required to be nominated by the Board for
election at such meeting) or any special meeting of the Company’s shareholders called by a person or persons other than Dolphin
for the purpose of removing or electing directors of the Company; or



 


		(viii)	make any request or submit any proposal to waive, terminate or amend

to trigger public disclosure obligations for any Party.
