10.Terracap Guaranty.  Terracap hereby guarantees the performance and observation by the Service Provider of its obligations hereunder.  The obligation of Terracap under this Section 10 is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until the Note Satisfaction has occurred.

Dear Rich:

 

This offer letter (this “Offer Letter”) confirms the terms of your service, on an interim basis, as Chief Executive Officer of Great Elm Capital Group, Inc. (the “Company”)

 

	
1.
    	
 
    	
Title. You   will serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer on an   interim basis reporting directly to the board of directors of the Company   (the “Board”).
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
You will continue to serve on the   Board, but, while you serve as interim CEO, the Company will regard you as an   employee director.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
2.
    	
 
    	
Employment Location. You   are expected to relocate the Company’s headquarters to Boston by the end of   September 2016. Significant travel is expected in the performance of   your duties. Subject to applicable IRS guidelines, the Company will reimburse   your reasonable out-of-pocket costs in connection with commuting with the   goal of your relocating to Boston within the year.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
3.
    	
 
    	
Employment Start Date. Subject   to completion of immigration formalities, your employment with the Company   will begin on the date hereof.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
4.
    	
 
    	
Base Salary. Your   annual base salary will be $200,000, less applicable withholdings and   deductions, commencing upon your start date and paid in accordance with   standard U.S. payroll practices.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
For so long as you serve as Chief   Executive Officer of the Company and the Company does not have an in-house   General Counsel, your annual base pay will be increased by $100,000.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
5.
    	
 
    	
Bonus.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
(a)
    	
 
    	
The compensation committee of the   Board (the “Compensation Committee”) will consider on an annual basis whether   to award you a bonus. The Company has not set any bonus target and you   acknowledge that this bonus is completely discretionary and may therefore be   zero. For the period from your start date to December 31, 2016, you will   be entitled to a guaranteed bonus of $60,000.

(c)
    	
 
    	
If, as and when the merger of   Full Circle with and into Great Elm Capital Corp. occurs, the Company will   pay you a $150,000 transaction bonus.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
(d)
    	
 
    	
You and the Compensation   Committee may negotiate additional transaction related bonuses in the future,   but the Company has no commitment to do so.
