An Exhibit 10 contract is a summer/training camp NBA contract for the NBA league minimum salary. It can be converted to a regular-season contract or a two-way deal, or it can expire at the conclusion of camp and a player becomes a free agent.

Contracts of this nature exist because teams are only allowed 15 NBA contracts plus two two-way contracts. Teams fill out the remainder of their 20 man training camp rosters with Exhibit 10 contracts.

The contract provides some level of compensation protection for players like Morgan.

An Exhibit 10 bonus can pay the player from $5,000 to $50,000 if the player is waived by his NBA team, signs with the G-League, is assigned to the NBA team’s G-League affiliate, and stays there at least 60 days.
