 Exhibit 10.2 
 STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
 STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made as of this
     day of July, 2009 between Alternative Asset Management Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer” or “AAMAC”), and the signatory on the execution page hereof (“Seller”). 
 WHEREAS, Buyer was organized for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business
combination, an operating business (“Business Combination”); and 
 WHEREAS, Buyer consummated an initial public offering in
August, 2007 (“IPO”) in connection with which it raised gross proceeds of approximately $397 million, a significant portion of which was placed in a trust account pending the consummation of a Business Combination, or the dissolution and
liquidation of Buyer in the event it is unable to consummate a Business Combination on or prior to August 1, 2009; and 
 WHEREAS, Buyer
has entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated May 14, 2009, as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated May 29, 2009 and July 8, 2009,
respectively (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among AAMAC, Great American Group, Inc., a newly-formed Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of AAMAC (“GAG Inc.”), and AAMAC Merger Sub, Inc., a newly-formed Delaware
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of GAG Inc. (“Merger Sub”), on the one hand, and Great American Group, LLC (“Great American”), the members of Great American (the “Great American Members”) and the representative
of each of Great American, the Great American Members and the phantom equityholders of Great American, on the other hand, which provides for the contribution by the Great American Members of all of the membership interests of Great American to GAG
Inc. in exchange for common stock of GAG Inc. and cash (the “Contribution”) and the concurrent merger (the “Merger” and, together with the Contribution, the “Acquisition”) of Merger Sub with and into AAMAC as a result
of which AAMAC and Great American will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the GAG Inc. and outstanding shares of AAMAC’s common stock will be exchanged for common stock of GAG Inc.; and 
 WHEREAS, the approval of the Acquisition is contingent upon, among other things, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding common
shares of AAMAC at the special meeting called to approve the Acquisition; and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to certain provisions in Buyer’s
certificate of incorporation, a holder of shares of Buyer’s common stock issued in the IPO may, if it votes against the Acquisition, demand that Buyer convert such common shares into cash (“Conversion Rights”); and 
 WHEREAS the Acquisition cannot be consummated if holders of 30% or more of AAMAC common stock issued in the IPO exercise their Conversion Rights; and

 WHEREAS, Seller has agreed to sell to Buyer and Buyer has agreed to purchase from Seller the common shares set forth on the execution page
of this Agreement (“Shares”) for the purchase price per share set forth therein (“Purchase Price Per Share”) and for the aggregate purchase price set forth therein (“Aggregate Purchase Price”). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 







 1. Purchase. Seller hereby sells to Buyer and Buyer hereby purchases from Seller at the Closing
(as defined in Section 4(c)) the Shares at the Purchase Price Per Share, for the Aggregate Purchase Price. 
 2. Agreement not to
Convert; Appointment of Proxy and Attorney-in-Fact. In further consideration of the Aggregate Purchase Price, Seller hereby agrees it has not and will not exercise its Conversion Rights or, if it has already exercised its Conversion Rights, it
hereby withdraws and revokes such exercise and will execute all necessary documents and take all actions required in furtherance of such revocation. Seller acknowledges that the record date to vote on the proposals set forth in the proxy
statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement”) filed by Buyer with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has passed. Accordingly, solely with respect to the vote for the Acquisition and the other proposals set forth
in the Proxy Statement, Seller hereby irrevocably appoints                      and
                                 and each of them each with full power of substitution,
as his proxy and attorney-in-fact, to the full extent of Seller’s rights with respect to the Shares (and any and all other shares or securities or rights issued or issuable in respect thereof) to vote in such manner as each such person or his
substitute shall in his sole discretion deem proper, and to otherwise act (including without limitation acting by written consent) with respect to all the Shares at any meeting of stockholders (whether annual or special and whether or not an
adjourned meeting) of Buyer held on or prior to August 1, 2009. This proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Execution by Seller of this Agreement shall revoke, without further action, all prior proxies granted by Seller at any
time with respect to the Shares (and such other shares or other securities) and no subsequent proxies will be given by Seller (and if given will be deemed not to be effective). 
 3. No Right to Additional Shares. AAMAC’s stockholders of record are entitled to receive 1.23 shares of GAG Inc. common stock for each share
of AAMAC common stock owned immediately prior to the consummation of the Acquisition (the “Exchange”). Although Seller will be a stockholder of record immediately prior to the Acquisition, Seller hereby irrevocably waives any right, title
or interest it may have in receiving any such GAG Inc. common stock distributed pursuant to the Exchange. Any such GAG Inc. shares so issued shall be deemed a part of this Agreement and issued, or immediately transferred, to Buyer. Additionally,
each of Buyer and Seller hereby agree and acknowledge that this provision is material to this Agreement and a significant consideration in Buyer’s willingness to enter into this Agreement. 
 4. Closing Matters. 
 (a) Within one
business day of the date of this Agreement, (i) Seller shall provide Buyer with a true and correct copy of the voting instruction form with respect to the Shares held by Seller indicating the financial institution through which such shares are
held and the control number provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions (or other similar service provider) regarding the voting of the Shares or written confirmation of such information as would appear on the voting instruction form; and
(ii) Buyer shall send the notice attached as Annex 1 hereto to AAMAC’s transfer agent. 
 (b) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer appropriate instructions for book entry transfers of ownership of the Shares from Seller to Buyer. 
 (c) The closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares (“Closing”) will occur on the date on which Buyer’s trust account is liquidated after the Acquisition is consummated (the “Closing Date”). At the Closing, Buyer
shall pay Seller the Aggregate Purchase Price by wire transfer from AAMAC’s trust account of immediately available funds to an account specified by Seller and Seller shall deliver the Shares to Buyer electronically using the Depository Trust
Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian) System to an account specified by Buyer. It shall be a condition to the 

  

 2 








 
obligation of Buyer on the one hand and Seller on the other hand, to consummate the transfer of the Shares contemplated hereunder that the other party’s
representations and warranties are true and correct on the Closing Date with the same effect as though made on such date, unless waived in writing by the party to whom such representations and warranties are made.

Agreement. 
 (e) Ownership of Shares. Seller is the legal and beneficial owner of the Shares and will transfer to Buyer on the
Closing Date good and marketable title to the Shares free and clear of any liens, claims, security interests, options, charges or any other encumbrance whatsoever. The Seller beneficially owned all of the Shares as of the close of the trading day on
July     , 2009 and has the sole right to exercise conversion rights with respect to all of the Shares. 
 (f) Number
of Shares. The Shares being transferred pursuant to this Agreement represent all the common stock owned by Seller as of the date hereof.

 (h) Aggregate Purchase Price Negotiated. Seller represents that both the amount of Securities and the Aggregate Purchase Price were negotiated
figures by the parties and that the terms and conditions by the parties of this Agreement may differ from arrangements entered into with other holders of Buyer’s common stock.

 11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall for all purposes be deemed to be made under and shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Each of the parties hereby agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of
the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive. Each of the parties hereby waives any objection to such exclusive
jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. 
 12. Remedies. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees
that, in the event of any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement by the other party, money damages may be inadequate with respect to any such breach and the non-breaching party may have no adequate remedy at law. It is
accordingly agreed that each of the parties hereto shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, to seek injunctive relief and/or to compel specific performance to prevent breaches by the other
party hereto of any covenant or agreement of such other party contained in this Agreement. 
 13. Binding Effect; Assignment. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of

hereof may be changed or amended orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the other party hereto. 
 16. Trust Waiver.
AAMAC’s initial public offering was consummated on August 7, 2007 as a result of which it received net proceeds of $397,560,377 which are held in a trust fund established by AAMAC for the benefit of its public stockholders (the “Trust
Fund”). The Trust Fund is invested in U.S. government securities in a trust account at Citi Global Markets Private Bank and held in trust by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) pursuant to the
Investment Management Trust Account Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2007, between AAMAC and Trustee. Seller understands that, except for a portion of the interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Fund, AAMAC may disburse monies from the
Trust Fund only: (a) to its public stockholders in the event of the conversion of their shares or the dissolution and liquidation of AAMAC, (b) to AAMAC and the underwriters listed in AAMAC’s prospectus on form S-1 dated July 27,
2007 (the “Prospectus”) (with respect to such underwriters’ deferred underwriting compensation only) after AAMAC consummates a business combination (as described in the Prospectus) or (c) as consideration to the sellers of a
target business with which AAMAC completes a business combination. Seller agrees that it does not now have, and shall not at any time have, other than with respect to the Aggregate Purchase Price to be paid to Seller in connection with this
Agreement, any claim to, or make any claim against, the Trust Fund or any asset contained therein, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, the business relationship between Seller, on the
one hand, and the AAMAC, on the other hand, this Agreement, or any other agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability. Seller hereby irrevocably
waives any and all claims it may have, now or in the future (in each case, however, prior to the consummation of a business combination), and will not seek recourse against, the Trust Fund for any 

  

 5 








 
reason whatsoever in respect thereof. In the event Seller commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of
any matter relating to AAMAC, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Fund or the public stockholders of AAMAC, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, AAMAC shall be entitled to recover from Seller
the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action.

 This Amendment, dated as of July 28, 2009 (the “Amendment”), to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of [DATE] (the “SPA”), by and between
Alternative Asset Management Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the signatory on the execution page hereof (“Seller”). Terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to such term

on July 28, 2009 and provided to Seller via email on July 28, 2009.

Right to Exchange Shares. AAMAC’s stockholders of record are entitled to receive 2.00 shares of GAG Inc. common stock for each share of AAMAC common stock owned immediately prior to the consummation of the Acquisition (the
“Exchange”). Although Seller will be a stockholder of record immediately prior to the Acquisition, Seller hereby acknowledges that Seller irrevocably waives any right, title or interest it may have in receiving any such GAG Inc. common
stock distributed pursuant to the Exchange. Seller hereby acknowledges that by virtue of the sale hereunder, Seller will not become a stockholder of GAG Inc. and, the Shares shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist and shall
represent only the right to receive the Aggregate Purchase Price therefor in accordance with the terms of the SPA. Additionally, each of Buyer and Seller hereby agree and acknowledge that this provision is material to this Agreement and a
significant consideration in Buyer’s willingness to enter into this Agreement. 
  

	 	2.	Acknowledgement. 

 2.1 Seller hereby
acknowledges: (i) receipt of a copy of the Current Report on Form 8-K , including the exhibits thereto as filed by AAMAC with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 28, 2009, describing the revised terms of the Acquisition, including without
limitation Amendment 3 to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and (ii) that it has carefully read and considered the same and hereby reaffirms its execution of the SPA as hereby amended. 
  

	 	3.	Miscellaneous. 

 3.1 Entire Agreement.
This Amendment sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the parties as to the subject matter thereof and merges and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of any and every nature among them. Except as set
forth in this Amendment, provisions of the SPA which are not inconsistent with this Amendment shall remain in full force and effect. 
 3.2 Severability. This Amendment shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Amendment or of any other term or
provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as part of this Amendment a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision
as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.
