Exhibit 10.1.1

FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

     THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of
           , 2007, by and between GLG Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and [Name] (“Indemnitee”).

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that competent and experienced individuals are increasingly
reluctant to serve or continue to serve as directors, officers, senior management or other Agents
of corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive liability insurance or indemnification,
or both, due to increased exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting from their service to
such corporations, and due to the fact that the exposure frequently bears no reasonable
relationship to the compensation of such directors and officers;

     WHEREAS, Article B of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation requires
the Company to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), and the Amended Bylaws of the
Company expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive,
and contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and its Agents with respect
to indemnification;

     WHEREAS, the Company and its Subsidiaries operate in a regulated industry and in order to
induce and encourage highly experienced and capable individuals to serve as officers, directors,
senior management or other Agents of the Company, its Subsidiaries and certain other entities
(including the funds managed by Subsidiaries) to take the business risks necessary for the success
of the Company and to otherwise promote the desirable end that such persons will resist what they
consider unjustifiable lawsuits and claims made against them in connection with good faith
performance of their duties to the Company, its Subsidiaries and certain other entities (including
the funds managed by Subsidiaries) secure in the knowledge that certain expenses, costs and
liabilities incurred by them in their defense of such litigation will be borne by the Company and
that they will receive the maximum protection against such risks and liabilities as may be afforded
by law, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined, after due consideration
and investigation of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the various other options
available to the Company and Indemnitee in lieu hereof, that contractual indemnification as set
forth herein is not only reasonable and prudent but necessary to promote and ensure the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders;

     WHEREAS, the Company desires and has requested Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a
director, officer, senior manager or other Agent of the Company; and

     WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve or provide additional service as a
director, officer, senior manager or other Agent of the Company based on the expectation that he or
she is furnished the indemnity provided for herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and the mutual covenants and agreements
set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the

of directors of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction
(including, without limitation, a corporation that as a result of such transaction

have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents,
so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the

she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had
continued.

Indemnitee may be or may have been involved as a party, a witness or otherwise, by reason of
the fact that Indemnitee is or was an Agent of the Company, by reason of any action taken by
him or her or of any inaction on his or her part while acting as an Agent whether or not he
or she is serving in such capacity at the time any Expense is incurred for which
indemnification or reimbursement can be provided under this Agreement; provided, however,
that except with respect to an action to enforce the right to indemnification or advancement

best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Agreement.

     Section 2. Indemnification and Contribution. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the
fullest extent permitted by Delaware law as in effect on the date hereof or as Delaware law may
from time to time be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent such
amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than Delaware law permitted
the Company to provide before such amendment). Such indemnification shall include, without
limitation, the following:

     (a) Indemnity in Third Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if
Indemnitee was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved
in any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the name of the Company to procure a
judgment in its favor) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an Agent of the
Company or by reason of any action or inaction by him or her in any such capacity, against
all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all
interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of
such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement
or appeal of such Proceeding; provided that such indemnification shall only be provided if
Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal
Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

     (b) Indemnity in Derivative Actions. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if
Indemnitee was or is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in
(as a witness or otherwise) any Proceeding by or in the name of the Company to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee was or is an Agent of the
Company or by reason of any action or inaction by him or her in any such capacity, against
all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the
investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such Proceeding; provided that such
indemnification shall only be provided if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner
Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company;
and provided, further, that no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim,
issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be
liable to the Company unless, and only to the extent that, the Delaware Court of Chancery or
the court in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such Expenses which the
Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

6

 

     (c) Partial Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to
the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part,
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in
connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is
successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues
or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee
against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection
with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Agreement and
without limiting the foregoing, if any Proceeding is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise
(including a disposition without prejudice), without (i) the disposition being adverse to
Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that Indemnitee was liable to the Company, (iii) a plea of
guilty or nolo contendere by Indemnitee, (iv) an adjudication that Indemnitee did not act in
good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Company and (v) with respect to any criminal Proceeding, an
adjudication that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was
unlawful, Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes hereof to have been wholly
successful with respect thereto.

     If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by
the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in
settlement incurred by him in the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of a
Proceeding but not entitled, however, to indemnification for the total amount thereof, the
Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee
is entitled.

     (d) Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, the Company will indemnify Indemnitee if and whenever he or she is a witness
or is threatened to be made a witness to any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party
against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s
behalf in connection therewith.

     (e) Additional Indemnification. Notwithstanding any limitation in clauses (a), (b) and
(c) of this Section 2, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses,
judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest,
assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such
Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a
party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure
a judgment in its favor) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an Agent or by
reason of anything done or not done by him or her in such capacity. The only limitation
that shall exist upon the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be that the
Company shall not be obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee that is finally determined
(under the procedures, and subject to the presumptions, set forth in Sections 5 and 6) to be
unlawful.

7

 

     (f) Consent to Settlement of Proceeding. The Company will not, without Indemnitee’s
prior written consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), settle, compromise, consent
to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any Proceeding in respect of
which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not Indemnitee is a party thereto)
unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes a release of Indemnitee
from any liabilities arising our of such Proceedings. The Company will not permit any such
settlement, compromise, consent or termination to include a statement as to, or an admission
of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of Indemnitee, without
Indemnitee’s prior written consent. Indemnitee will not, without the Company’s prior
written consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), settle, compromise, consent to
the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any Proceeding referred to
herein.

     Section 3. Contribution.

     (a) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification
rights provided for in this Agreement are unavailable to Indemnitee in respect of any
Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in
such Proceeding), the Company, in lieu of indemnifying and holding harmless Indemnitee,
shall contribute the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and all officers,
directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with
Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and of Indemnitee,
on the other, in connection with the events which resulted in such Expenses, judgments,
fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault referred to above shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such Expenses, judgments,
fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement. The Company agrees that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection were determined by pro rata
allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the foregoing
equitable considerations.

     (b) The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee from any
claims for contribution which may be brought by Agents of the Company other than Indemnitee
who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee in respect of any Proceeding.

     Section 4. Advances of Expenses.

     (a) The Company shall pay all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee (or
reasonably expected by Indemnitee to be incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee within three
months) in connection with any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party or is threatened to
be made a party or in which Indemnitee is a witness, in either case by reason of the fact
that Indemnitee is or was an Agent of the Company, in advance of the final disposition of
such Proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made
without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and

8

 

without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other
provisions of this Agreement. Expenses payable by the Company in advance shall include (i)
Expenses incurred pursuing a Proceeding to enforce the right to indemnification or
advancement of expenses under this Agreement, the DGCL or otherwise or a right to D&O
Insurance, and (ii) Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to
support the advances claimed.

     No such Expenses shall be paid by the Company unless Indemnitee delivers a written
undertaking to the Company to repay any and all such Expenses advanced to him or her if, and
to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
from which no appeal can be taken that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Company as authorized by this Agreement or otherwise. Any such repayment shall be made
within 60 calendar days after the later of the conclusion of the corresponding Proceeding or
such final determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to be so indemnified.

     The Company shall not impose on Indemnitee additional conditions to advancement or
require from Indemnitee additional undertakings regarding repayment. The advances to be
made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to or on behalf of Indemnitee within 30 calendar
days following delivery of a written request therefor by Indemnitee to the Company. The
request shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred (or expected to be incurred) by
Indemnitee in connection therewith. The Indemnitee’s entitlement to advancement of Expenses
shall include those incurred in connection with any Proceeding by Indemnitee seeking a
determination, adjudication or award in arbitration pursuant to this Agreement.

     (b) In the event the Company shall be obligated to pay the Expenses of Indemnitee with
respect to a Proceeding, as provided in this Agreement, the Company, if appropriate, shall
be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with counsel reasonably acceptable to
Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so.
After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of
such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this
Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the
same Proceeding, provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s
own counsel in such Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense and (ii) if (A) the employment of
counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized in writing by the Company, (B) counsel
to the Company or Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of
interest or position, or reasonably believes that a conflict is likely to arise, on any
significant issue between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense or
(C) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such
Proceeding within 10 days after the delivery of the Company’s written notice to Indemnitee
of its election to assume such defense, then the Expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be
at the expense of the Company, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement.
The Company shall not be entitled, without the consent of Indemnitee, to assume the defense
of any claim brought by or in the right of the Company or as to which counsel for the

9

 

Company or Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause
(B) above.

     Section 5. Procedure for Indemnification.

     (a) Indemnitee shall, promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the
commencement of or the threat of commencement of any Proceeding with respect to which
indemnification under this Agreement is being claimed, notify the Company. The notice shall
include documentation or information which is necessary for the determination of entitlement
to indemnification and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee. Delay in so notifying
the Company shall not constitute a waiver or release by Indemnitee or of any rights
hereunder, except to the extent the Company does not otherwise have notice of such
Proceedings and is prejudiced in its defense of such Proceeding as a result of such failure.

     (b) Any indemnification requested by Indemnitee under Section 2 hereof shall be made no
later than 30 calendar days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee, unless a
determination is made within said 30-day period in accordance with Section 2 that Indemnitee
is not entitled to indemnification by one of the following methods, which shall be at the
election of Indemnitee: (i)  by a majority vote of Disinterested Directors, or (ii) in the
event such a quorum is not obtainable or in the event of a Change in Control (other than a
Change in Control that has been approved by a majority of the members of the Board who were
directors immediately prior to such Change in Control), by Independent Counsel in a written
opinion. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to
Indemnitee shall be made within 30 calendar days after such determination.

     (c) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by
Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 5(b) above, the Independent Counsel shall be
selected as provided in this Section 5(c). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by
Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board), and
Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the
Independent Counsel so selected and certifying that the Independent Counsel so selected
meets the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 1(n) of this
Agreement. If the Independent Counsel is selected by the Board, the Company shall give
written notice to Indemnitee advising him of the identity of the Independent Counsel so
selected and certifying that the Independent Counsel so selected meets the requirements of
“Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 1(n) of this Agreement. In either event,
Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within 10 days after such written notice
of selection shall have been received, deliver to the Company or Indemnitee, as the case may
be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that that such objection may
be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the
requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 1(n) of this Agreement, and such
objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a
proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If
such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may
not

10

 

serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of
competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be taken has determined that such objection
is without merit. If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request
for indemnification pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been
selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Delaware
Court of Chancery for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company
or Indemnitee, as the case may be, to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or
for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Delaware Court of
Chancery, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person
so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 5(b) above. Upon the delivery
of its opinion pursuant to Section 5(b), Independent Counsel shall be discharged and
relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards
of professional conduct then prevailing).

     The Company agrees to pay (a) the reasonable Expenses of the Independent Counsel and
(b) all of the Expenses of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding necessary to select
the Independent Counsel.

     (d) Notwithstanding a determination under Section 5(b) above that Indemnitee is not
entitled to indemnification with respect to any specific Proceeding, Indemnitee shall have
the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for the
purpose of enforcing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification and advances pursuant to this
Agreement, which determination shall be made de novo and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced
by reason of a determination under Section 5(b) that he or she is not entitled to
indemnification or advances. The burden of proving that indemnification or advances are not
appropriate shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including the
Board or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
action that indemnification or advances are proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee
has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company
(including the Board or Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable
standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create any presumption that
Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with successfully establishing Indemnitee’s right to
indemnification or advances, in whole or in part, in any such Proceeding or otherwise shall
also be indemnified by the Company.

     (e) If an initial determination is made or deemed to have been made pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be
bound by such determination in the absence of (i) a specific finding (which has become
final) by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be taken that all or
any part of such indemnification is prohibited by law or (ii) a misstatement by Indemnitee
of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s
statement not materially misleading, in connection with Indemnitee’s request for
indemnification.

11

 

     (f) The Company shall pay interest to Indemnitee at the legal rate under Delaware law
for amounts which the Company indemnifies or is obliged to indemnify for the period
commencing with the date on which Indemnitee requests indemnification, contribution,
reimbursement or advancement of any Expenses and ending with the date on which such payment
is made to Indemnitee by the Company.

     Section 6. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

     (a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder,
the person, persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for
indemnification in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement, and the Company shall have
the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any
person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption.

     (b) If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 5 of this
Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made
a determination within 30 days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the
requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made
and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a specific finding
(which has become final) by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be
taken that all or any part of such indemnification is prohibited by law or (ii) a
misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary
to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with Indemnitee’s
request for indemnification, provided, however, that such 30-day period may be extended for
a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 15 days, if the person, persons or entity
making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith
requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or
information relating thereto.

     (c) The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or
upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, (except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement) of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in
good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

     (d) For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have
acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of
the Company, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the
officers of the Company in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for
the Company or on information or records given or reports made to the Company by an
independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by the
Company. The provisions of this Section 6(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to
limit in any way the other circumstances in which the

12

 

Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in this Agreement.

     (e) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other Agent of the Company
shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification
under this Agreement.

     Section 7. Indemnity Hereunder Not Exclusive. The provisions for indemnification and
advancement of Expenses contained in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights which Indemnitee may have under any provision of law, the Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, other agreements, insurance, or other
financial arrangements or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while occupying his or her position as an Agent of the Company;
provided, however, that in the case of any conflict between this Agreement, any provision of law,
the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors,
other agreements, insurance, or other financial arrangements or otherwise, then the conflict shall
be resolved by applying the provisions in any of the foregoing that provide the broadest
indemnification rights and most expeditious payment to Indemnitee. Indemnitee’s rights hereunder
shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased acting as an Agent of the Company and shall inure to the
benefit of the heirs, devisees, executors, administrators and legal representatives of Indemnitee.

     Section 8. Insurance and Subrogation.

     (a) To the extent the Company maintains a policy or policies of insurance with
reputable insurance companies providing the officers, directors and other Agents of the
Company with coverage for liabilities arising out of their acts and/or omissions as Agents,
or to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this
Agreement (collectively, “D&O Insurance”), Indemnitee shall be covered by such D&O Insurance
in accordance with their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such
officers, directors or other Agents under such D&O Insurance. If the Company has D&O
Insurance in effect at the time the Company receives from Indemnitee any notice of the
commencement of a Proceeding, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of
such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the D&O
Insurance. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause
such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such
Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such D&O Insurance. If the Company does not have
D&O Insurance in effect at any time, the Company shall purchase six years of tail insurance
to cover Indemnitee.

     (b) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated
to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall
execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights for the
Company, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to
bring suit to enforce such rights.

13

 

     (c) The Company reserves any rights to contribution it may have against any other
Person against whom Indemnitee may also have rights of indemnity for Expenses with respect
to Proceedings.

     Section 9. Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the
contrary, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee for
any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee:

     (a) for which payment has actually been received by or on behalf of Indemnitee under
any D&O Insurance or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the
amount actually received under any D&O Insurance, contract, agreement, other indemnity
provision or otherwise; or

     (b) for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase)
by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law.

     Section 10. Duration and Interpretation of Agreement. It is understood that the parties
hereto intend this Agreement to be interpreted and enforced so as to provide indemnification to
Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law from time to time. This Agreement shall
continue so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding or able to incur any
Expenses by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an Agent and shall be applicable to
Proceedings commenced or continued after execution of this Agreement, whether arising from acts or
omissions occurring before or after such execution.

     Section 11. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, (a) the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all
portions of any paragraphs of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of
this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Agreement
containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that are not themselves
invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested
by the provisions held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

     Section 12. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this
Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of
any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any
provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

     Section 13. Successor and Assigns. The terms of this Agreement (a) shall be binding upon the
Company and its successors and assigns, including any acquiror of all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets or business, any acquiror of more than 50% of the total voting power represented
by the Company’s then Outstanding Voting Securities and any survivor of any merger or consolidation
to which the Company is a party, provided that any such successor or

14

 

assign shall expressly assume and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and (b)
shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his or her spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees,
executors, administrators and other legal representatives.

     Section 14. Notices. All notices or other communications provided for by this Agreement shall
be made in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered when (i) delivered personally or by
messenger (including air courier), or (ii) by the mailing of such notice to the party entitled
thereto, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid to the parties at the following addresses
(or to such other addresses designated in writing by one party to the other):

	 	 	 
	Company:

	 	GLG Partners, Inc.
	 

	 	390 Park Avenue, 20th Floor
	 

	 	New York, NY 10022
	 

	 	Facsimile: (212) 224-7210
	 

	 	Attention: General Counsel
	 
	 	 
	Indemnitee:

	 	The name and address set forth
	 

	 	on the signature page hereof.
	 
	 	 

     Section 15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

     Section 16. Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably
consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection
with any Proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action
instituted under or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of
the State of Delaware.

     Section 17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which will be deemed an original but both of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument.

     Section 18. Enforcement. The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any Proceeding that
the procedures and presumptions (or exclusion of presumptions) under or of this Agreement are not
valid, binding and enforceable. The Company agrees that its execution of this Agreement shall
constitute a stipulation by which it shall be irrevocably bound in any court of competent
jurisdiction in which a Proceeding by Indemnitee for enforcement of his or her rights hereunder
shall have been commenced, continued or appealed, that its obligations set forth in this Agreement
are unique and special, and that failure of the Company to comply with the provisions of this
Agreement will cause irreparable and irremediable injury to Indemnitee, for which a remedy at law
will be inadequate. As a result, in addition to any other right or remedy Indemnitee may have at
law or in equity with respect to breach of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to
injunctive or mandatory relief directing specific performance by the Company of its obligations
under this Agreement.

     Section 19. Headings. The section and subsection headings contained in this Agreement are for
reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement.
