Exhibit 10.1.1




AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT




This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement between GLG Partners, Inc. (“GLG”) and Jeffrey M.
Rojek (the “Employee”) is made on this 17th day of March, 2010 with effect as of January 1, 2010
(this “Agreement”).




GLG and the Employee hereby agree to the continued employment of the Employee by GLG on the
following terms and conditions:





	1.	 	Commencement of Employment; Term of Agreement.
	 
	1.1	 	The Employee’s employment under this Agreement commenced on January 1, 2010.
	 
	1.2	 	The initial term of the Employee’s employment under this Agreement shall continue until
December 31, 2010, unless such employment is sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement (the “Initial Term”). Upon the expiration of the Initial Term and any one-year
extension thereafter, the Initial Term or the extended term, as applicable, shall be
automatically extended for one additional year unless either party hereto gives the other
party at least six (6) months of advance written notice that he or it does not want such
extension to occur (a “Notice of Non-Extension”), in which case the Initial Term or the
extended term, as applicable, will not be further extended. Notwithstanding any extensions
beyond the Initial Term, the Employee’s employment may be sooner terminated pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement. Hereinafter, the period of the Employee’s employment under this
Agreement, including beyond the Initial Term if applicable, will be referred to as the “Term.”
	 
	2.	 	Title; Duties; Responsibilities.
	 
	2.1	 	The Employee shall, during the Term, serve GLG in the capacity of Chief Financial Officer.
The Employee’s duties shall include, but not be limited to, those typical of the chief
financial officer of a United States publicly listed financial services company, and such
other duties as may be required by GLG from time to time consistent therewith, or where not,
by agreement between the parties hereto.
	 
	2.2	 	During the Term, the Employee shall:






	 	(a)	 	at all times and in all respects conform to and comply with the lawful and
reasonable directions of GLG, and, to the extent applicable to the Employee, conform to
and comply with all rules or codes of conduct and statements of principle in force from
time to time or required by any
regulatory body in relation to the business of GLG or any of its subsidiaries
(collectively, the “GLG Entities”);
	 
	 	(b)	 	unless prevented by sickness or other incapacity, or otherwise as directed by
GLG, devote the whole of his time, attention, and abilities during hours of




 









 












	 	 	 	work (which
shall be normal business hours and such additional hours as may be necessary for the
proper performance of his duties) to the business and affairs of the GLG Entities;
	 
	 	(c)	 	work at GLG’s offices in New York City, New York or such other place of
business of GLG in the New York City greater metropolitan area as GLG may reasonably
require for the proper performance of the Employee’s duties; provided that the Employee
shall be required to travel frequently and for extended periods of time for business
purposes, including to any other office maintained by any of the GLG Entities; and
	 
	 	(d)	 	not, without the prior written consent of GLG, directly or indirectly carry on
or be engaged, concerned, or interested in any other business, trade, or occupation
that is in competition with the business of any GLG Entity, other than as a holder
directly or through nominees of not more than three percent (3%) in the aggregate of
any class of shares, debentures, or other securities in issue from time to time of any
company that is publicly-traded on any recognized stock exchange.






	2.3	 	The Employee shall not, without the prior written consent of GLG, either directly or
indirectly, publish any opinion, fact, or material, or deliver any lecture or address, or
participate in the making of any film, radio broadcast, or television transmission, or
communicate with any representative of the media or any third party, (a) relating to the
business or affairs of the GLG Entities, or relating to any of their officers, employees,
members, partners, clients, suppliers, distributors, agents, or shareholders, or (b) relating
to the development or exploitation of Intellectual Property (as defined in clause 10.1). For
the purpose of this clause 2.3, “media” shall include television (terrestrial, satellite, and
cable), internet, radio, newspapers, and other journalistic publications. This clause 2.3
will not apply to communications made by the Employee to the media or other third-parties to
the extent that such communications are consistent with the Employee’s duties to GLG.
	 
	3.	 	Salary.
	 
	3.1	 	During the Term, GLG will pay the Employee a salary at a rate equal to a gross amount of
$400,000 per annum, from which tax and other withholdings will be deducted. This amount will
be paid to the Employee in equal monthly installments.
	 
	4.	 	Bonus.
	 
	4.1	 	The Employee will, during the Term, be eligible for a discretionary bonus, payable, if at
all, by GLG on an annual basis, from which tax and other withholdings will be deducted.
Bonuses are based on numerous factors, including the performance of the GLG Entities and the
Employee’s individual contribution, and, except as otherwise set forth in this clause 4, are
not guaranteed. Except for the bonus payments set forth in clause 4.2, any bonus payable to
the Employee may be




2









 












	 	 	conditioned upon the achievement of performance goals established in
accordance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (“Section 162(m)”).
	 
	4.2	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause 4.1 and subject to clause 4.3, during the
Term, assuming that the Employee is employed by GLG for a full calendar year, GLG will pay the
Employee each year a cash bonus of no less than $600,000, from which tax and other
withholdings will be deducted.
	 
	4.3	 	In order to be eligible to receive any bonus under this clause 4, except as otherwise
provided in clause 8, the Employee must be actively employed by GLG and not serving out any
period of notice (such as the notice period given prior to termination) on the date that that
bonus is paid. Bonuses are normally paid in January of the year following the year in which
such bonuses are earned, but in all cases the Employee will be paid his bonus, if any, no
later than March 15 of the year following the year in which his bonus is earned.
	 
	5.	 	Equity Incentive Awards.
	 
	5.1	 	The Employee shall receive such equity incentive awards as the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors of GLG (the “Compensation Committee”) may determine in its sole discretion
from time to time, and such awards may be conditioned upon the achievement of performance
goals established in accordance with Section 162(m). Such equity incentive awards may
include, without limitation, grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
stock, and/or restricted stock units. The terms and conditions of each equity incentive award
will be set forth in a definitive award agreement to be entered into by the parties hereto.
	 
	5.2	 	Notwithstanding anything in this clause 5 to the contrary, the Employee will only receive an
equity incentive award if, at the time the award is granted, he is actively employed by GLG
and not serving out any period of notice (such as the notice period given prior to
termination).
	 
	6.	 	Expenses.
	 
	6.1	 	GLG shall reimburse the Employee in respect of all reasonable travelling, accommodation, and
other similar out-of-pocket expenses wholly, exclusively, and necessarily incurred by the
Employee in or about the performance of his duties,
provided that any expense claims are supported by relevant documentation and are made in
accordance with GLG’s expenses policy from time to time in force.
	 
	7.	 	Benefits and Vacation.
	 
	7.1	 	During the Term, and provided that the Employee satisfies, and continues to satisfy, any plan
eligibility requirements, the Employee shall be entitled to participate in, and receive
benefits under, any pension benefit plan, welfare benefit plan (including, without limitation,
health insurance), vacation benefit plan, or other employee benefit




3









 












	 	 	plan made available by GLG
to its senior employees based in its New York City offices. In addition, during the Term, the
Employee will be provided with fringe benefits to the same extent that such benefits are
provided by GLG to its senior management employees. Any such plan or benefit arrangement may
be amended, modified, or terminated by GLG from time to time with or without notice to the
Employee.
	 
	8.	 	Termination of Employment.
	 
	8.1	 	By the Employee; Death. The Employee may terminate his employment with GLG for any
reason by giving to GLG not less than twelve weeks of notice in writing. In the event that
the Employee terminates his employment without giving GLG the requisite notice under this
clause 8.1, then, in addition to any other remedy that GLG may have with respect to the
Employee for breach of this Agreement, the “Restriction Period” under clause 12.1.6 will be
extended for the number of days that is equal to the number of days by which the Employee’s
notice under this clause 8.1 is deficient (i.e., if the Employee provides GLG will eight weeks
of notice of termination, then the “Restriction Period” will be extended by four weeks).
	 
	 	 	The Employee’s employment with GLG will automatically terminate upon his death.
	 
	8.2	 	By GLG Without Cause. GLG may terminate the Employee’s employment without Cause (as
defined in clause 8.3) by giving to the Employee not less than six months of notice in
writing. The delivery of a Notice of Non-Extension under clause 1.2 by GLG to the Employee
will be treated as a termination without Cause by GLG.
	 
	 	 	In the event of a termination of the Employee’s employment by GLG without Cause, GLG will
pay to the Employee, within thirty (30) days of his employment termination date, a payment
equal to:






	 	(a)	 	the Employee’s annual bonus under clause 4.2 for the year preceding the year in
which the termination without Cause is effective, but only to the extent that bonuses
for such preceding year have not been paid, plus
	 
	 	(b)	 	a pro-rata portion of the Employee’s annual bonus under clause 4.2 for the year
in which the termination without Cause is effective (such pro-rata portion to be
calculated on a straight line basis from the beginning of the year through the
date on which the Employee’s employment is terminated without Cause), provided that the
bonus payment under this clause (b) will not be reduced on a pro-rata basis in the
event the Employee’s termination is due to a delivery of a Notice of Non-Extension by
GLG, plus
	 
	 	(c)	 	fifty percent (50%) of the Employee’s annual salary under clause 3.1, plus
	 
	 	(d)	 	fifty percent (50%) of the minimum annual bonus payable to the Employee under
clause 4.2.




4









 






	 	(e)	 	In addition, in such event, to the extent permitted under the terms of the
applicable plan, GLG will provide two years of continued coverage for the Employee and
his covered spouse and dependents under GLG’s health insurance plan (medical and
dental) under the same terms and conditions that are applicable to senior employees of
GLG then employed in New York City, provided that (i) to the extent any such benefit is
provided via reimbursement to the Employee, no such reimbursement will be made by GLG
later than the end of the year following the year in which the underlying expense is
incurred, (ii) any such benefit provided by GLG in any year will not be affected by the
amount of any such benefit provided by GLG in any other year, subject to any maximum
benefit limitations under the applicable plan’s terms, and (iii) under no circumstances
will the Employee be permitted to liquidate or exchange any such benefit for cash or
any other benefit






	 	 	Alternatively, in lieu of advance notice, GLG may, in its absolute discretion, terminate the
employment of the Employee without Cause at any time with immediate effect by paying the
Employee in a lump-sum, within thirty days of his employment termination date, the amounts
set forth in clauses (a), (b), (c), and (d) of the preceding paragraph, except that the
references to “fifty percent (50%)” in clauses (c) and (d) will be replaced with references
to “one hundred percent (100%)”.
	 
	 	 	At all times while the Employee is receiving payments under this clause 8.2 (or would be
receiving payments but for clause 8.6), the Employee shall have a duty to mitigate the
amount of such payments that GLG is obligated to pay to the Employee by making a good faith
effort to obtain alternative employment (or paid work as a partner, consultant, or
otherwise). Any compensation that the Employee earns during such time period as a result of
other employment or work as a partner, consultant, or otherwise shall offset, on a
dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount of such payments that GLG otherwise would be obligated
to pay to the Employee under this Agreement. The Employee shall have an affirmative duty to
promptly notify GLG of any employment or other paid work that he obtains (and in any event
no later than seven days after obtaining such employment or other paid work) while receiving
payments under this clause 8.2. The failure of the Employee to make a good faith effort to
obtain such employment or other paid work will be grounds for GLG to
refuse to make any further payments under this clause 8.2 and to recoup any payments under
this clause 8.2 that it has already made to the Employee.
	 
	8.3	 	By GLG With Cause. The Employee’s employment may be terminated by GLG with Cause at
any time and without notice. “Cause” shall be deemed to exist if the Employee shall at any
time:






	 	(a)	 	be guilty of gross misconduct or be in material breach of any provision of
this Agreement; or




5









 






	 	(b)	 	be in breach of regulatory requirements (including any Securities Exchange
Commission requirements) or internal compliance rules of any GLG Entity consistent
therewith that is applicable to the Employee; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	have any required registration terminated or cancelled by the Securities
Exchange Commission or any other regulatory authority governing financial services
business in the United States or in any other relevant jurisdiction; or
	 
	 	(d)	 	have any certification, registration, license, or similar requirement to
maintain his status as a certified public accountant or a state-licensed accountant
suspended, withdrawn, revoked, or otherwise terminated, provided that such suspension,
withdrawal, revocation, or termination will not be grounds to terminate the Employee
with Cause if it occurs because of the Employee’s failure to complete any necessary
continuing professional education hours or credits and such failure was consented to
in advance and in writing by GLG; or
	 
	 	(e)	 	be investigated (which includes any informal or formal stage in any
administrative, investigative, enforcement, adjudicative, disciplinary, or judicial
investigation or proceeding, but excludes any such investigation or proceeding the
subject of which is GLG and not the Employee) in the United States by the Securities
Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or another
government agency or regulatory body or authority, or in any other relevant
jurisdiction by a government agency or regulatory body or authority, for a potential
violation of securities laws, including any insider trading rules, or any applicable
rule or regulation of any governmental agency or regulatory body or authority
governing the financial services business or people who work in such business,
provided that, if such investigation has been completed and results in a finding of no
violation by the Employee, then, to the extent that GLG has not yet exercised its
right to terminate the Employee with Cause as a result of such investigation, such
investigation will no longer be grounds for GLG to terminate the Employee with Cause;
or
	 
	 	(f)	 	be guilty of any serious negligence in connection with or affecting the
business or affairs of any GLG Entity for which the Employee is required to perform
duties; or
	 
	 	(g)	 	be guilty of conduct that brings or is likely to bring the Employee or any
GLG Entity into disrepute; or
	 
	 	(h)	 	be convicted of a criminal offence for which the Employee may be arrested
(other than a traffic violation for which a non-custodial penalty is imposed); or




6









 






	 	(i)	 	be in material breach of any of the conditions or continuing obligations
under clause 13.






	8.4	 	GLG is not under any obligation to provide the Employee with any work, and GLG may suspend
the Employee or place him on a leave of absence without duties, exclude the Employee from all
or any premises of GLG, and/or require that the Employee not contact any colleagues or
clients, not work on any GLG matters or projects, and not access electronic data in GLG’s
offices via home computers, modems, or otherwise, including, without limitation:






	 	8.4.1	 	for any period in connection with any investigation into (a) any alleged
misconduct or neglect by the Employee or (b) any alleged action or inaction that may
constitute Cause under clause 8.3; or
	 
	 	8.4.2	 	for any period not exceeding the applicable notice period after either party
has given notice of termination of employment; provided that, in such event, any
payments under this clause 8, except to the extent clause 8.6 is applicable or to the
extent any payment or portion thereof is not a “deferral of compensation” under or
would otherwise be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code, will be made no later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the
Employee ceases to perform services for GLG;






	 	 	provided that throughout such period the Employee’s salary under clause 3.1 and benefits
under clause 7.1 shall continue to be paid or provided by GLG in accordance with those
clauses (but without duplication of any amounts paid to the Employee pursuant to clause
8.4.2). The Employee acknowledges and agrees that, during any period of suspension, all
obligations and duties of the Employee contained in this Agreement (other than those
suspended as set out in this clause 8.4) will continue to have full force and effect.
	 
	8.5	 	GLG reserves the right to condition any compensation under this clause 8, or the Employee’s
right to continue to receive salary and/or bonus payments for any portion of any notice period
under this clause 8 during which the Employee is not performing services, upon the Employee’s
execution of a full general release and
such release becoming effective. To the extent any such amount constitutes an amount
payable under a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code) as a result of a “separation from service” (as defined in Section
409A of the Internal Revenue Code), then the execution and effective date of such general
release must occur before the payment date set forth in clause 8.6.
	 
	8.6	 	To the extent that any amount payable under this Agreement constitutes an amount payable
under a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code) that is not exempt from 409A as a result of a




7









 












	 	 	“separation from service” (as
defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code), including any amount payable under this
clause 8, then, notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, such
payment will not be made to the Employee until the day after the date that is six months
following the Employee’s “separation from service,” to the extent such payment otherwise would
have been made during such six-month period, but only if the Employee is deemed by GLG, in
accordance with any relevant procedures that it may establish, to be a “specified employee”
under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code at the time the Employee “separates from
service.” This clause 8.6 will not be applicable after the Employee’s death.
	 
	8.7	 	Upon the termination of his employment (for whatever reason and howsoever arising), the
Employee shall not at any time thereafter make any untrue or misleading oral or written
statement concerning the business and affairs of any GLG Entity, nor represent himself or
permit himself to be held out as being in any way connected with or interested in the business
of any GLG Entity (except as a former employee for the purpose of communicating with
prospective employers or complying with any applicable law, or as a holder of any outstanding
equity award granted to the Employee).
	 
	9.	 	Confidential Information.
	 
	9.1	 	“Confidential Information” means any information that belongs to any GLG Entity, or any of
their clients or suppliers, including, without limitation, Intellectual Property (as defined
in clause 10.1), technical data, market data, trade secrets, research, business plans, product
information, projects, services, client lists, client preferences, client transactions,
supplier lists, supplier rates, hardware, technology, inventions, developments, processes,
formulas, designs, marketing methods and strategies, pricing strategies, sales methods,
financial information, transactional information, corporate and tax structures, revenue
figures, account information, credit information, financing arrangements, information
disclosed to the Employee by any GLG Entity in confidence directly or indirectly, information
that the Employee ought reasonably to understand is confidential, and information in respect
of which any GLG Entity is bound by an obligation of confidence to a third
party, and whether in writing (including via email), orally, or by electronic records,
drawings, pictures, or inspection of tangible property.
	 
	9.2	 	The Employee acknowledges that, during the course of his employment with GLG, the Employee
has had and will have access to Confidential Information. The Employee agrees, both during
the term of his employment with GLG and following its termination, that he has and will
continue to hold the Confidential Information in the strictest confidence, and that he has not
and will not use or attempt to use, other than in the proper performance of the Employee’s
duties, the Confidential Information except for the benefit of the GLG Entities, and he has
not and will not disclose any Confidential Information to any other person or entity without
the prior




8









 












	 	 	written authorization of GLG. The Employee shall use best endeavors to prevent the
unauthorized publication or misuse of any Confidential Information.
	 
	9.3	 	The restrictions of clause 9.2 do not apply to any Confidential Information that (a) has
entered into the public domain other than by a breach of this Agreement or other obligation of
confidentiality of which the Employee is aware, or (b) solely to the extent and for the
duration required, is required to be disclosed under a validly-issued court order and which
disclosure the GLG Entities, following the Employee’s immediate notification to GLG of such
requirement, are unable legally to prevent.
	 
	9.4	 	The Employee will be required, and hereby agrees, to execute any additional confidentiality
agreements with any GLG Entity in such form as will be required by GLG or such GLG Entity.
	 
	9.5	 	Following the termination of the Employee’s employment with GLG, or at any time during its
continuance upon request by GLG, the Employee will promptly deliver to GLG and not keep in his
possession, recreate, or deliver to any other person or entity, any and all property that
belongs to any GLG Entity, or that belongs to any other third party and is in the Employee’s
possession as a result of his employment with GLG, including, without limitation, any
Confidential Information, computer hardware and software, palm pilots, pagers, cell phones,
blackberries, PDAs, other electronic equipment, records, data, client lists and information,
notes, reports, correspondence, financial information, corporate information, account
information, files, and other documents and information, including any and all copies of the
foregoing.
	 
	10.	 	Intellectual Property.
	 
	10.1	 	“Intellectual Property” means any rights in or to intellectual property including, without
limitation, patents, trade marks, service marks, design rights, copyrights, utility models,
inventions, drawings, rights in computer programs (including both object code and source
code), and whether registered or unregistered, applications for registration of any of the
foregoing and the right to apply for them in any part of
the world, and rights of like nature arising or subsisting anywhere in the world in
relation to all of the foregoing.
	 
	10.2	 	The Employee agrees that all Intellectual Property that the Employee creates or discovers
during the course of or as a result of his employment with GLG and that relates to or is
capable of being used in the business of any GLG Entity shall vest automatically in and belong
exclusively to GLG or its nominee, and the Employee shall not have any rights or licenses in
such Intellectual Property except as explicitly granted in writing to him by GLG.
	 
	10.3	 	If, at any time in the course of the Employee’s employment with GLG, the Employee makes or
discovers or participates in the making or discovery of any Intellectual Property relating to
or capable of being used in the business of any




9









 












	 	 	GLG Entity, then the Employee shall
immediately disclose full details of such Intellectual Property to GLG, and at the expense of
GLG the Employee shall do all things necessary or desirable for obtaining appropriate forms of
protection for the Intellectual Property in such parts of the world as may be specified by GLG
and for vesting all rights in the same in GLG or its nominee.
	 
	10.4	 	The Employee hereby irrevocably appoints GLG or its nominee to be the Employee’s agent to
sign any instrument, or to execute or do any act, on the Employee’s behalf in order to give
GLG or its nominee the full benefit of this clause 10, and in favor of any third party a
certificate in writing signed by an officer of GLG that any instrument or act falls within the
authority of GLG conferred by this clause 10 shall be conclusive evidence that such is the
case.
	 
	10.5	 	The Employee hereby waives all of the Employee’s moral rights, if any, in respect of any acts
of any GLG Entity or any party acting on its authority, in relation to any Intellectual
Property that is the property of or licensed to GLG, its nominee, or any GLG Entity by virtue
of this clause 10.
	 
	10.6	 	The Employee agrees that he has disclosed in writing all Intellectual Property that was made
or discovered by the Employee prior to the commencement of his employment with GLG, or that
belongs to the Employee either solely or jointly with others (each such item referred to as a
“Prior Invention” and collectively as “Prior Inventions”). Other than as so disclosed, the
Employee agrees and acknowledges that there are no Prior Inventions. If, in the course of the
Employee’s employment with GLG, the Employee incorporates a Prior Invention into any product,
software, business material, process, service, or machine of any GLG Entity, then the GLG
Entities are hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide
license (with the right to sublicense) to make, have made, copy, modify, make derivative works
of, use, sell, and otherwise distribute such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with
such product, software, business material, process, service, or machine.
	 
	10.7	 	The Employee shall keep and maintain adequate and up to date written records of all
Intellectual Property made or discovered by the Employee (either solely or jointly with
others) during his employment with GLG. The records may be in the form of notes, sketches,
drawings, flow charts, electronic data or recordings, laboratory notebooks, or any similar
format appropriate to the relevant Intellectual Property and/or required from time to time by
GLG. The records will be available to and remain the sole property of GLG at all times, and
the Employee shall not perform any action with such records (other than to maintain them in an
up to date state) without the express permission of GLG, such permission to be at the sole
discretion of GLG.




10









 






	10.8	 	All rights and obligations of the Employee under this clause 10 shall continue in full force
and effect after the termination of his employment and shall be binding upon the Employee’s
heirs, assigns, and personal representatives.
	 
	11.	 	Further Obligations of the Employee.
	 
	11.1	 	The Employee shall, during his employment with GLG and (where appropriate) after its
termination, comply (and, if applicable, shall procure that his spouse and minor children
shall comply) with all applicable rules of law, regulations, and codes of conduct of any GLG
Entity in effect from time to time in relation to dealings in shares, debentures, or other
securities, and the Employee shall, in relation to any dealings in securities of foreign
companies, comply with all laws of any foreign state affecting dealings in the securities of
such companies.
	 
	11.2	 	The Employee represents that his employment with GLG does not violate any prior agreement
with a former employer or third party. Should the Employee breach such representation, the
Employee agrees to indemnify the GLG Entities on demand for any and all damages (including,
without limitation, legal fees) that any GLG Entity incurs as a result of the Employee’s
breach of such representation.
	 
	12.	 	Restrictive Covenants.
	 
	12.1	 	For the purpose of this clause 12, the following expressions shall have the following
respective meanings:






	 	12.1.1	 	“Business” means the management, investment management, and investment advisory
businesses, and the business of structuring, establishing, marketing, distributing, and
managing investment funds, as carried on by any GLG Entity on the Employee’s employment
termination date.
	 
	 	12.1.2	 	“Intermediary” means (a) any person who, at any time during the two years immediately
preceding the Employee’s employment termination date, promoted, marketed, advised, or
arranged for investors in the services and/or products (including investment funds) of
any GLG Entity, (b) any
person who, during such two-year period, was a partner, member, employee, or agent
of, or consultant to, such Intermediary, or (c) any person who, during such
two-year period, was a partner, member, employee or agent of a client or
prospective client of any GLG Entity and who was working in the capacity of an
Intermediary, and in all cases, with which Intermediary the Employee had direct
dealings on behalf of any GLG Entity in connection with such Intermediary’s
promoting, marketing, advising, or arranging for investors in the services and/or
products (including investment funds) of any GLG Entity.




11









 






	 	12.1.3	 	“Key Individual” means any person who, at the Employee’s employment termination date,

GLG Entity (a) with whom the Employee has had material contact during the course of his
employment with GLG, and (b) either (i) is employed or engaged in marketing services
and/or products (including investment funds), in managing fund assets, as an analyst,

event that any person is found to have been solicited by the Employee prior to the

	12.5	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause 12, following the termination of the

for any certified public accounting firm, provided that the Employee is not involved in
(whether by working for, advising, consulting with, or otherwise servicing) any aspect of
such firm’s investment management or investment advisory businesses, if any, including any
such business conducted through such firm’s subsidiaries or other related entities, and (b)
service the clients of any certified public accounting firm.
	 
	12.6	 	The Employee hereby agrees that he will, at the cost of GLG, enter into a direct agreement or
undertaking with any GLG Entity whereby he will accept restrictions and provisions

15









 












	 	 	relation to such
activities and such area and for such a period not exceeding the Restriction Period as such
GLG Entity may reasonably require for the protection of its legitimate business interests.
	 
	12.7	 	The covenants contained in this clause 12 are intended to be separate and severable and
enforceable as such, and to be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under the laws of
each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any restriction contained in this
Agreement is for any reason held by a court to be excessively broad as to duration, activity,
geographical scope, or subject, then such restriction will be construed, judicially modified,
or “blue penciled” in such jurisdiction so as to thereafter be limited or reduced to the
extent required to be enforceable in such jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. If
any restriction contained in this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable
in any respect under any applicable law in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity, illegality,
or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any other
jurisdiction, but such restriction will be reformed, construed, and enforced in such
jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable restriction had never been
contained in this Agreement.
	 
	12.8	 	The Employee acknowledges that the remedy at law for his breach of this clause 12 will be
inadequate, and that the damages flowing from such breach will not be readily susceptible to
being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, upon a breach or threatened breach of this
clause 12, GLG will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief (or other equitable relief) and
may obtain a temporary order restraining any breach or further breach. No bond or other
security will be required to obtain such relief, and the Employee consents to the issuance of
such equitable relief. Nothing in this clause 12.8 will be deemed to limit GLG’s remedies at
law or in equity that may be pursued or availed of by GLG for any breach or threatened breach
by the Employee of any part of this clause 12.
	 
	12.9	 	The covenants contained in this clause 12 have been agreed by the parties hereto to be
reasonable. The business of the GLG Entities is highly competitive, the terms of this clause
12 are material to the parties’ willingness to enter into this Agreement, and the terms and
conditions of this clause 12 are not more restrictive than is necessary to protect the
legitimate interests of the GLG Entities.
	 
	13.	 	Conditional Nature of Continued Employment.
	 
	13.1	 	The Employee’s continued employment with GLG is subject to the following conditions:






	 	(a)	 	validity and accuracy of all representations made by the Employee regarding his
educational, vocational, professional, and any other appropriate qualifications, and
upon request by GLG the Employee will be




16









 












	 	 	 	required to produce any relevant documentation
supporting such representations;
	 
	 	(b)	 	compliance with any compliance regulations, codes of conduct, and personal
investment policies applicable to the Employee; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	the Employee’s successful and continued registration with, to the extent
applicable, the Securities Exchange Commission and any other relevant government agency
governing the financial services business.






	 	 	The Employee recognizes that his employment may be terminated with or without notice or
payment in the event that such requirements fail to be satisfied at any time during his
employment with GLG.
	 
	14.	 	Miscellaneous.
	 
	14.1	 	This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between GLG and the
Employee and supersedes any other agreements, whether oral or written, with respect to the
subject matter of this Agreement, including, without limitation, as of the effective date of
this Agreement, the employment agreement between GLG and the Employee executed as of January
9, 2008 and effective on March 18, 2008 (the “Prior Agreement”), but specifically excluding
the restricted stock agreements between GLG and the Employee dated March 18, 2008, March 18,
2009, and March 17, 2010. This Agreement may only be modified or amended by a further
agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto.
	 
	14.2	 	This Agreement is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles.
	 
	14.3	 	Any action by the parties hereto related to this Agreement may be instituted in any state or
federal court having proper subject matter jurisdiction located within the State of New York,
or in any other court in which jurisdiction is otherwise proper. Accordingly, the Employee
and GLG irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submit to the jurisdiction of any such court and
(b) waive (i) any objection to the laying of venue of any such action brought in such court
and (ii) any claim that any such action brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum.
	 
	14.4	 	This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be
an original, and all such counterparts when taken together shall constitute one and the same
original.
	 
	14.5	 	GLG shall be entitled, without notice to the Employee, at any time during his employment with
GLG and upon the termination of such employment, to set off and/or make deductions from the
Employee’s compensation or from any other sums due to the Employee from any GLG Entity in
respect of any overpayment of any kind made to the Employee or in respect of any outstanding
debt or other sum due from




17









 












	 	 	the Employee. In addition, all payments made under this Agreement
to the Employee will be subject to applicable tax and other payroll withholdings.
	 
	14.6	 	Except to the extent that applicable law requires that any specific action be taken or
performed by the Compensation Committee, or to the extent otherwise provided in this
Agreement, any action to be taken or performed, or direction or consent to be provided, by GLG
under this Agreement may be taken, performed, or provided by either of GLG’s Co-Chief
Executive Officers (or if there is only one Chief Executive Officer, then by that individual).
	 
	14.7	 	Any waiver by GLG of any provision, or any breach of any provision, of this Agreement shall
not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of such provision or any
other provision herein.
	 
	14.8	 	Due to the personal nature of the services contemplated under this Agreement, this Agreement
and the Employee’s rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned by the Employee. GLG
may assign its rights, together with its obligations hereunder, in connection with any sale,
transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of its business and/or assets,
provided that any such assignee of GLG agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.
	 
	14.9	 	To the extent any amount or benefit under this Agreement is nonqualified deferred
compensation that is subject to (and not exempt from) the requirements of Section 409A, then,
with respect to such amount or benefit, this Agreement will be interpreted in a manner to
comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
