 Exhibit 10.5 
 Summary of Compensation Arrangements for Non-Employee Directors 
 Each
non-employee director (“Outside Director”) of MicroStrategy Incorporated (“MicroStrategy” and collectively with its subsidiaries the “Company”) receives a fee of $25,000 for each quarterly meeting of
MicroStrategy’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) which the Outside Director attends in person. An Outside Director may be paid such fee for attending a quarterly Board meeting via telephonic conference call if the Outside Director has
good reason for the Outside Director’s failure to attend such meeting in person as determined by the Chairman of the Board, but such payment is limited to one occurrence in any given fiscal year. Each Outside Director who is a member of the
Audit Committee also receives a fee of $10,000 (or $12,500 in the case of the Chairman of the Audit Committee) for each quarterly meeting of such committee which the Outside Director attends in person. Each Outside Director who is a member of the
Compensation Committee also receives a fee of $5,000 (or $7,500 in the case of the Chairman of the Compensation Committee), which is paid quarterly, provided that, in order to be eligible to receive the fee with respect to a fiscal quarter, the
Outside Director must have served on the Compensation Committee on the last day of such fiscal quarter. Each Outside Director may receive fees up to $12,000 in any fiscal quarter for additional services delegated by the Board to such Outside
Director in the Outside Director’s capacity as a member of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Board, or any other committees of the Board, provided that any such fee paid with respect to a particular service must be approved
by the Board following the completion of such service by the Outside Director. 
 Each Outside Director is reimbursed for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him or her in attending meetings of the Board and any committee thereof and otherwise in performing his or her duties as an Outside Director, subject to compliance with our standard documentation
policies regarding reimbursement of business expenses. From time to time, the Board may hold meetings and other related activities in various locations for which the Company’s payment of the expenses of Outside Directors and their guests may
result in imputed compensation to Outside Directors (“Meeting Activities”). In addition, the Company may hold, host, or otherwise arrange parties, outings, or other similar entertainment functions for which the Company’s payment of
the expenses of Outside Directors and their guests may result in imputed compensation to Outside Directors (“Entertainment Events”). The Company may also request that Outside Directors participate in conferences, symposia, and other
similar events or activities relating to the Company’s business for which the Company’s payment of the expenses of Outside Directors and their guests may result in imputed compensation to Outside Directors (“Company-Sponsored
Activities”). 
 The Company has adopted a policy pursuant to which the Company makes available, from time to time, tickets
to sporting, charity, dining, entertainment, or similar events as well as use of corporate suites, club memberships, or similar facilities that the Company may acquire (“Corporate Development Programs”), for personal use by Company
personnel to the extent a Corporate Development Program is not at such time being used exclusively by the Company for business purposes. Eligible personnel include members of the Board, executive officers of the Company, and other employees of the
Company. Any such personal use may result in imputed compensation to such persons. 
 The Company has adopted a policy pursuant
to which the Company makes available, from time to time, certain designated vehicles that the Company owns or may acquire (“Designated Vehicles”) and related driving services for personal use by eligible Company personnel, to the extent
the Designated Vehicle is not at such time being used exclusively by the Company for business purposes. Eligible personnel include the Chief Executive Officer and any employees and Outside Directors authorized by the Chief Executive Officer to use
Designated Vehicles. Any such personal use may result in imputed compensation to such persons. 
 The Company also pays for the
services of one or more drivers for vehicles other than Company-owned vehicles (such services, “Alternative Car Services”) for personal use by eligible Company personnel. Eligible personnel include the Chief Executive Officer and any
employees and Outside Directors authorized by the Chief Executive Officer to use Alternative Car Services. Any such personal use may result in imputed compensation to such persons. The Company has established a policy that the aggregate compensation
to all Company personnel as a result of use of Alternative Car Services, exclusive of any associated tax gross-up payments, may not exceed $100,000 in any fiscal year. 

 The Company has adopted a third amended and restated aircraft use policy (the “Aircraft
Use Policy”) which, among other things, permits certain non-business use of (i) the Bombardier Global Express XRS aircraft owned by the Company (the “Global Express”), (ii) any aircraft in which the Company has leased a
fractional interest (the “Fractional Aircraft”) and which is managed by NetJets International, Inc. or any of its affiliates (collectively, “NetJets”), together with all other aircraft managed or provided by NetJets to the extent
that the Company uses such other aircraft in connection with the Company’s lease of the Fractional Aircraft (collectively, the “NetJets Aircraft”), and (iii) such other aircraft (A) that the Company may, from time to time,
lease or charter, including, without limitation, any aircraft subject to a fractional interest program in which the Company may participate by leasing a fractional interest, and (B) that has been designated by MicroStrategy to be “Company
Aircraft” for purposes of the Aircraft Use Policy (collectively with the Global Express and the NetJets Aircraft, “Company Aircraft”). Company Aircraft are available for non-business use only when such aircraft are not otherwise being
used by the Company exclusively for business use. The Aircraft Use Policy permits non-business use of Company Aircraft by Outside Directors provided that (i) all Outside Directors are invited by MicroStrategy to travel on the applicable flight,
and such non-business use is in connection with the Outside Director’s participation in one or more Meeting Activities, Entertainment Events to which all Outside Directors have been invited, or Company-Sponsored Activities and (ii) to the
extent that clause (i) does not apply, such non-business use occurs on a “ride-along” basis – that is, an Outside Director and/or his guest travel on a flight that was requested by an eligible requestor other than such Outside
Director for a purpose other than the non-business use of such flight by such Outside Director (each such use, a “Ride-Along Flight”). Any such non-business use may result in imputed compensation to such persons. In addition, the Aircraft
Use Policy permits non-business use of Company Aircraft by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and other officers or employees of the Company to the extent approved by the Chief Executive Officer. 

Non-business use of Company Aircraft is subject to various limitations, including those described below. During each calendar year:

  

	 	•	the total number of flight hours used by the Company for non-business use of the NetJets Aircraft in such calendar year must be less than fifty percent (50%) of
the total number of flight hours of the NetJets Aircraft used by the Company for business use and non-business use during such calendar year; 

  

	 	•	the total number of flight hours used by the Company for non-business use of the Global Express in such calendar year must be less than fifty percent (50%) of the
total number of flight hours of the Global Express used by the Company for business use and non-business use during such calendar year; 

  

	 	•	the total number of flight hours used by the Company for non-business use of all Company Aircraft in such calendar year may not exceed 200 flight hours; and

  

	 	•	an Outside Director’s travel on Ride-Along Flights may not exceed, in the aggregate, four (4) flight segments. 

To the extent that any of the arrangements described above, other than fee compensation, result in imputed compensation to an Outside
Director, the Company pays to (or withholds and pays to the appropriate taxing authority on behalf of) such Outside Director a “tax gross-up” approximating his (i) federal and state income and payroll taxes on the taxable income in
connection with such arrangements plus (ii) federal and state income and payroll taxes on the taxes that the individual may incur as a result of the payment of taxes by the Company with respect to the imputed compensation.Employment Offer Letter

 United Kingdom 
 Dear Steve: 
 I am very pleased to outline in this letter (the “Offer Letter”)
the terms and conditions on which we are offering you the position of President US Business Unit of Cott Corporation (the “Company”). This Offer Letter will not constitute an agreement until it has been fully executed by both
parties. Please note that this Offer Letter does not contemplate a contract or promise of employment for any specific term; you will be an at will employee at all times. 
 1. Position and Duties. 
 1.1 Position. Subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, you will be employed by the Company as its President US Business Unit, effective as of March 4th, 2013 (the “Employment Date”). 

1.2 Responsibilities. 
 (a) As the Company’s President US Business Unit, you will report to the Chief Executive Officer and have such duties and responsibilities as may be assigned to you from time to time by the Chief
Executive Officer. 
 (b) You agree to devote all of your business time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company
and to discharging the responsibilities assigned to you. This shall not preclude you from (i) serving on the boards of directors of a reasonable number of charitable organizations, (ii) engaging in charitable activities and community
affairs, and (iii) managing your personal affairs, so long as these activities do not interfere with the performance of your duties and responsibilities as the Company’s President US Business Unit. 

1.3 No Employment Restriction. You hereby represent and covenant that, except as disclosed to the Company, your employment
by the Company does not violate any agreement or covenant to which you are subject or by which you are bound and that there is no such agreement or covenant that could restrict or impair your ability to perform your duties or discharge your
responsibilities to the Company. 
 1.4 Term. The term of this Offer Letter is for a period of three years from
the Employment Date. In the event you decide not to remain in the United States after the term of this Offer Letter, the Company will use reasonable commercial efforts to find you a position of similar scope and size to the General Manager UK
position you held prior to becoming President US Business Unit. If no such position is available within three months of the expiration of the term of this Offer Letter, you will be made redundant and you shall be entitled to the payments set forth
in Section 5. You shall not be entitled to any such payments if you resign from the Company. 

 2. Remuneration. 
 2.1 Base Salary. Your annual base salary will initially be at the rate of US $380,000 per year (“Annual Base Salary”), paid on a bi-weekly basis, pro-rated for any partial
periods based on the actual number of days in the applicable period. Your performance will be evaluated at least annually, and any increase to the level of your Annual Base Salary will be determined as part of the regular annual review process. You
will receive an annual car allowance in the amount of US $13,500 annually and a cell phone allowance in the amount of US $2,025 annually. 
 2.2 Bonus. You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual bonus plan and may earn a bonus based upon the achievement of specified performance goals. The amount of your
target bonus is 75% of your Annual Base Salary. The bonus year is the Company’s fiscal year and any payments made to you for bonus year 2013 will be pro-rated based on the period of time you held the position of General Manager UK Business Unit
and President US Business Unit. Currently the maximum potential payout permitted under the bonus plan is two (2) times the applicable target bonus for achievement of performance goals significantly in excess of the target goals, as established
by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Please note that the bonus plan is entirely discretionary and the Company reserves in its absolute discretion the right to terminate or amend it or any other
bonus plan that may be established. 
 2.3 LTI Grant. 

(a) Annual Award. During the term of this Offer Letter, subject to approval of the Human Resources and Compensation
Committee, you will be entitled to receive an annual long term incentive (“LTI”), in the amount of 100% of your base salary, when such annual awards are made to other senior executives of the Company. Each annual LTI award, including
the vesting terms, will be governed by the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and your award agreement. 

(b) One-time Award. Subject to approval of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee, as an inducement for your
employment as President US Business Unit, you will be entitled to receive a one-time LTI award equivalent to $300,000 when the 2013 annual awards are made to other senior executives of the Company. The one-time LTI award, including the vesting
terms, will be governed by the Plan and your award agreement.

programs generally available to other senior executives of the Company. Our benefit programs include health, disability and life insurance

3.4 Reimbursement. You will be reimbursed for expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the performance of your
duties in accordance with the Company’s policies as established from time to time.

opportunities related to the business of the Company which become known to you during your employment with the Company must be fully disclosed and made available to the Company by you, and you agree not to take or attempt to take any action if the

class of securities are listed on a recognized stock exchange in Canada or the United States or on the NASDAQ. 
 (c) If you are
at any time in violation of any provision of this Section 8.4, then each time limitation set forth in this Section 8.4 shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period of time during which such violation or violations occur. If
the Company seeks injunctive relief from any such violation, then the covenants set forth shall be extended for a period of time equal to the pendency of the proceeding in which relief is sought, including all appeals therefrom.

may seriously constrain your freedom to seek other remunerative employment. If any of the restrictions are determined to be unenforceable as going beyond what 

 
is reasonable in the circumstances for the protection of the interests of the Company but would be valid, for example, if the scope of their time periods or geographic areas were limited, the
parties consent to the court making such modifications as may be required and such restrictions shall apply with such modifications as may be necessary to make them valid and effective. 

8.8 Survival of Restrictions. Each and every provision of this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Offer
