	 	Re:	MF Global – Employment Agreement 

 Dear Bernie: 
 This is your EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT with MF Global Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“MF
Global”), and provides the terms of your employment with MF Global. 
 1. Terms Schedule 
 Some of the terms of your employment are in the attached schedule (your “Schedule”), which is part of this Agreement. 
 2. Term of Your Employment 
 Your employment under
this Agreement will begin on the “Commencement Date” set forth in your Schedule and will continue until terminated in accordance with Section 6(c). All subsequent references to “your employment” in this Agreement will
refer to your employment under this Agreement. 
 3. Your Position, Performance and Other Activities 
 (a) Position. You will be employed in the position stated in your Schedule. 
 (b) Authority, Responsibilities, and Reporting. Your authority, responsibilities and reporting relationships will correspond to your position and
will include any particular authority, responsibilities and reporting relationships consistent with your position that MF Global’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or any officer of the MF Global Group to whom you report may
assign to you from time to time. Any specific reporting relationship provided in your Schedule replaces the relationship provided in this Section 3(b), and any specific authority or responsibility provided in your Schedule is in addition to
that provided in this Section 3(b). 

 (c) Performance. During your employment, you will devote substantially all of your business time
and attention to MF Global and its subsidiaries and affiliates (together, the “MF Global Group”) and will use good faith efforts to discharge your responsibilities under this Agreement to the best of your ability. 
 (d) Other Activities. During your employment, you will not render any business, commercial or professional services to any non-member of the MF
Global Group. However, you may (1) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees (2) manage personal investments, or (3) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions, so long
as these activities do not significantly interfere with your performance of your responsibilities under this Agreement. 
 4. Your Compensation 

 (a) Salary. You will receive an annual base salary (your “Salary”). The starting amount of your Salary is in your
Schedule. MF Global will review your Salary at least annually and may increase it at any time for any reason. However, your Salary may not be decreased at any time (including after any increase) other than as part of an across-the-board salary
reduction that applies in the same manner to all similarly situated executives, and any increase in your Salary will not reduce or limit any other obligation to you under this Agreement. Your Salary will be paid in accordance with the MF Global
Group’s normal practices for similarly situated executives. 
 (b) Bonus. You will be entitled to receive an annual cash bonus
(your “Bonus”) for each fiscal year of MF Global ending during your employment. The amount of your Bonus will be determined by MF Global in accordance with your Schedule, and it will be paid within two and one half months after the
end of the fiscal year to which it relates. 
 (c) Sign-On Equity. 
 (1) You will be awarded equity-based compensation (the “Sign-On Equity”) in respect of MF Global common shares, par value
US$1.00 per share, under the MF Global Ltd. 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). The amount of your Sign-On Equity is as in the Schedule. 
 (2) Except as provided in this Agreement, your Sign-On Equity will be subject to the terms of the 2007 Plan and to the terms of your award
agreement under that plan. 
 (d) Other Executive Compensation Plans. You will be entitled to participate in all of the MF Global
Group’s executive compensation plans, including any management incentive plans, long-term compensation plans, equity compensation option plans and deferred compensation plans, on a basis that is at least as favorable as that provided to other
similarly situated executives of the MF Global Group.

 5. Your Benefits 
 (a) Employee Benefit Plans. During your employment, you will be entitled to participate in each of the MF Global Group’s employee benefit and welfare plans, including plans providing retirement benefits or
medical, dental, hospitalization, life or disability insurance, on a basis that is at least as favorable as that provided to other similarly situated executives of the MF Global Group. 
 (b) Vacation. You will be entitled to paid annual vacation on a basis that is at least as favorable as that provided to other similarly situated
executives of the MF Global Group. 
 (c) Business Expenses. You will be reimbursed for all business and entertainment expenses
incurred by you in performing your responsibilities under this Agreement. However, your reimbursement will be subject to the MF Global Group’s normal practices for similarly situated executives. 
 (d) Indemnification; Advancement of Expenses. To the extent permitted by law, MF Global will indemnify you against any actual or threatened
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, against you arising by reason of your status as a director, officer, employee and/or agent of the MF Global Group during your employment. In addition, to the
extent permitted by law, MF Global will advance or reimburse any expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, you incur in investigating and defending any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding for which you may be entitled to
indemnification under this Section 5(d). However, you agree to repay any expenses paid or reimbursed by MF Global if it is ultimately determined that you are not legally entitled to be indemnified by MF Global. If MF Global’s ability to
make any payment contemplated by this Section 5(d) depends on an investigation or determination by the board of directors of any member of the MF Global Group, at your request MF Global will use its best efforts to cause the investigation to be
made (at MF Global’s expense) and to have the relevant board reach a determination as soon as reasonably possible. 
 (e) Additional
Benefits. During your employment, you will be provided any additional benefits stated in your Schedule. 
 6. Termination of Your Employment

 (a) No Reason Required. You or MF Global may terminate your employment at any time for any reason, or for no reason, subject to
compliance with Section 6(c). 
 (b) Related Definitions. 
 (1) “Cause” means any of the following: (A) your continued and willful failure to perform substantially your
responsibilities to the MF Global Group under this Agreement, after demand for substantial performance has been given by the Board or any officer of the MF Global Group to whom you report that specifically identifies how you have not
substantially performed your responsibilities; (B) your willful engagement in illegal conduct or in gross misconduct in connection with the business 

  

 - 3 - 

 
of the MF Global Group; (C) your conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony; (D) your willful and material breach of
the MF Global Group’s written code of conduct and business ethics or Section 7 or 8; (E) your willful attempt to obstruct or willful failure to cooperate with any investigation authorized by the Board or any governmental or
self-regulatory entity; or (F) your disqualification or bar by any governmental or self-regulatory authority from serving in the capacity contemplated by this Agreement or your loss of any governmental or self-regulatory license that is
reasonably necessary for you to perform your responsibilities to the MF Global Group under this Agreement, if (i) the disqualification, bar or loss continues for more than 60 days and (ii) during that period the MF Global Group uses
its good faith efforts to cause the disqualification or bar to be lifted or the license replaced. While any disqualification, bar or loss continues during your employment, you will serve in the capacity contemplated by this Agreement to whatever
extent legally permissible and, if your employment is not permissible, you will be placed on leave (which will be paid in full to the extent legally permissible). 
 For purposes of this definition, (i) no act or omission by you will be “willful” unless it is made by you in bad faith or
without a reasonable belief that your act or omission was in the best interests of the MF Global Group and (ii) any act or omission by you based on authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board will be deemed made in good
faith and in the best interests of the MF Global Group. 
 If MF Global does not give you a Termination Notice (as described
in 6(c)) within 60 days after the Board has knowledge that an event constituting Cause has occurred, the event will no longer constitute Cause. In addition, the Board must give you notice and 10 days to cure the first event constituting Cause under
Section 6(b)(1)(D) or (E) (unless the event cannot be cured). MF Global may place you on unpaid leave for up to 30 consecutive days while it is determining whether there is a basis to terminate your employment for Cause. This leave will
not constitute Good Reason. 
 (2) “Good Reason” means any of the following: (A) any material and
adverse change in your position with the MF Global Group (including by reason of removal); (B) any failure by MF Global to provide you with authority, responsibilities and reporting relationships as provided in Section 3(b) (and your
Schedule); (C) any failure by MF Global to comply with Section 4 (and your Schedule); (D) MF Global requiring you to be based at any office more than 35 miles from the place of employment stated in your Schedule (however, reasonable
travel required by MF Global in connection with your duties will not constitute Good Reason); (E) any purported termination by MF Global of your employment that is in breach of this Agreement; (F) any failure by MF Global to comply with
Section 11(c); or (G) any material breach of this Agreement by MF Global not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section 6(b)(2). 
  

 - 4 - 

 If you do not give a Termination Notice within 60 days after you have knowledge that an
event constituting Good Reason has occurred, the event will no longer constitute Good Reason. In addition, (i) an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure by MF Global under Section 6(b)(2)(A) through (C) that is not in bad
faith and is cured promptly on your giving MF Global notice will not constitute Good Reason and (ii) you must give the Board notice and 10 days to cure the first event constituting Good Reason under Section 6(b)(2)(G). 
 (3) “Disability” means your absence from your responsibilities with MF Global on a full-time basis for 130 business days
in any consecutive 12 months as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness or injury. If MF Global determines in good faith that your Disability has occurred, it may give you a Termination Notice. If within 30 days of the
Termination Notice you do not return to full-time performance of your responsibilities, your employment will terminate. If you do return to full-time performance in that 30-day period, the Termination Notice will be cancelled for all purposes of
this Agreement. Except as provided in this Section 6(b)(3), your incapacity due to mental or physical illness or injury will not affect the Company’s obligations under this Agreement (including that such illness or injury will not
constitute a basis for Cause). 
 (c) Advance Notice Generally Required. 
 (1) To terminate your employment, either you or MF Global must provide a Termination Notice to the other. A “Termination
Notice” is a written notice that states the specific provision of this Agreement on which termination is based, including, if applicable, the specific clause of the definition of Cause or Good Reason and a reasonably detailed description of
the facts that permit termination under that clause; provided that the failure to include any fact in a Termination Notice that contributes to a showing of Cause or Good Reason does not preclude either party from asserting that fact in enforcing its
rights under this Agreement. 
 (2) You and MF Global agree to provide 60 days’ advance Termination Notice of any
termination, unless your employment is terminated by MF Global for Cause or because of your Disability or death. If you die or become Disabled after you provide a valid Termination Notice with Good Reason or MF Global provides Termination
Notice without Cause, your termination will be treated as a termination with Good Reason, effective as of the date of your death or Disability. 
 (d) With Good Reason or Without Cause. If MF Global terminates your employment without Cause or you terminate your employment for Good Reason: 
 (1) MF Global will pay the following as of the end of your employment: (A) your unpaid Salary, (B) your Salary for any accrued
but unused vacation, and (C) any accrued expense reimbursements and other cash entitlements (including for accrued expense reimbursement for which supporting documentation is submitted within a reasonable time after termination of your
employment) (together, your “Accrued Compensation”). In addition, MF Global will pay you any amounts and provide you any benefits that are required, or to which you are entitled, under any plan, contract or arrangement of the MF
Global Group as of the end of your employment (together, the “Other Benefits”). 
  

 - 5 - 

 (2) MF Global will pay your Earned Bonus. Your “Earned Bonus” means any
earned but unpaid Bonus for the fiscal year ending immediately before the end of your employment. 
 (3) MF Global will pay
your Accrued Bonus. Your “Accrued Bonus” means any excess of (A) the average of the Bonuses paid or payable to you for the three fiscal years (or, if less, the number of fiscal years since the Commencement Date) ending before
Termination Notice is given (your “Historic Bonus”) multiplied by the number of days of your employment since the fiscal year ending before Termination Notice is given divided by 365 over (B) any Bonus paid
you for a fiscal year ending after Termination Notice is given. 
 (4) MF Global will pay your Severance Pay. Your
“Severance Pay” means (A) the sum of your Salary and Historic Bonus multiplied by (B) the severance multiplier provided on your Schedule (your “Severance Multiplier”). 
 (5) All stock options issued by MF Global to you will vest and become immediately exercisable and will remain exercisable for at least 12
months after the end of your employment (or, if earlier, until they would have expired but for your termination). All restricted stock and other equity-based compensation awarded by MF Global to you will vest and become immediately payable. Any
securities so issued or awarded will remain subject to such restrictions on transfer as are required by applicable securities laws. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(d)(5) will apply to your Sign-On Equity and will in no way limit any
more favorable terms in the plans or award agreements relating to equity-based compensation awarded by MF Global to you. The benefit provided for by this Section 6(d)(5) is referred to as “Accelerated Vesting”. 
 (6) During the number of years equal to your Severance Multiplier (the “Severance Period”), you, your spouse and your
dependents will continue to be entitled to participate in each of the MF Global Group’s employee benefit and welfare plans providing for medical, dental, hospitalization, life or disability insurance on a basis that is at least as favorable as
that provided to other similarly situated executives of the MF Global Group and at least as favorable as the basis in effect immediately before Termination Notice was given (the “Welfare Benefits”). However, if the MF Global
Group’s plans do not permit you, your spouse or your dependents to participate on this basis, MF Global will provide Welfare Benefits (with the same after-tax effect for you) outside of the plans. If you become employed during the remainder of
the Severance Period and are eligible for coverage from your new employer, the Welfare Benefits will be secondary to your new coverage (i.e., the MF Global Group will reimburse you for any increased cost and provide any additional benefits
that are necessary to provide you with the full Welfare Benefits). 
  

 - 6 - 

 (e) For Cause or without Good Reason. If MF Global terminates your employment for Cause or you
terminate your employment without Good Reason, MF Global will pay your Accrued Compensation and your Other Benefits. 
 (f) For Your
Disability or Death. If your employment terminates as a result of your Death or Disability, MF Global will pay your Accrued Compensation, Earned Bonus and Accrued Bonus and will provide your Other Benefits and will provide Accelerated Vesting.

 (g) Condition. MF Global will not be required to make the payments and provide the benefits stated in Section 6(d) (other than
the Accrued Compensation and Other Benefits) unless you execute and deliver to MF Global an agreement releasing from all liability (other than the payments and benefits contemplated by this Agreement) each member of the MF Global Group and any of
their respective past or present officers, directors, employees or agents. This agreement will be in the form normally provided by the MF Global Group to its senior executives at the time. 
 (h) Timing. The benefits provided in this Section 6 will begin at the end of your employment, and any cash payments owed you under this
Section 6 will be paid in one lump sum within 20 days of the end of your employment or at any earlier time required by applicable law. 
 (i) Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment(s) or benefit(s)under this Agreement would be subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
“Code”), to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code, any such payments and/or benefits shall be delayed until the earliest day on which such payments could be made or benefits provided in compliance with
Section 409A of the Code (at which point all payments so delayed shall be provided or reimbursed to you in one lump sum). 
 7. Proprietary
Information. 
 (a) Definition. “Proprietary Information” means confidential or proprietary information concerning
(1) the MF Global Group’s businesses, strategies, operations, financial affairs, organizational matters, personnel matters, budgets, business plans, marketing plans, studies, policies, procedures, products, ideas, processes, software
systems, trade secrets and technical know-how , (2) any other matter relating to the MF Global Group and (3) any matter relating to clients of the MF Global Group or other third parties having relationships with the MF Global Group.
Proprietary Information may include information furnished to you orally or in writing (whatever the form or storage medium) or gathered by inspection, in each case before or after the date of this Agreement. However, Proprietary Information
does not include information (1) that was or becomes generally available to you on a non-confidential basis, if the source of this information was not reasonably known to you to be bound by a duty of confidentiality, (2) that was or
becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by you, directly or indirectly, that is not authorized by the MF Global Group or (3) that you can establish was independently developed by you without reference
to any Proprietary Information. 
  

 - 7 - 

 (b) Use and Disclosure. You will obtain or create Proprietary Information in the course of your
involvement in the MF Global Group’s activities and may already have Proprietary Information. You agree that the Proprietary Information is the exclusive property of the MF Global Group, and that, during your employment, you will use and
disclose Proprietary Information only for the MF Global Group’s benefit and in accordance with any restrictions placed on its use or disclosure by the MF Global Group. After your employment, you will not use or disclose any Proprietary
Information. In addition, nothing in this Agreement will operate to weaken or waive any rights the MF Global Group may have under statutory or common law, or any other agreement, to the protection of trade secrets, confidential business information
and other confidential information. 
 (c) Return of Proprietary Information. When your employment terminates, you agree to return to
MF Global all Proprietary Information, including all notes, mailing lists, rolodexes and computer files that contain any Proprietary Information. You agree to do anything reasonably requested by MF Global in furtherance of perfecting the MF Global
Group’s possession of, and title to, any Proprietary Information that was at any time in your possession. 
 (d) Limitations.
Nothing in this Agreement prohibits you from providing truthful testimony concerning the MF Global Group to governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authorities. 
 8. On-going Restrictions on Your Activities 
 (a) Related Definitions. This Section uses the
following defined terms: 
 “Competitive Enterprise” means any business enterprise that either
(1) engages in any activity that competes anywhere with any activity that the MF Global Group is then engaged in or (2) holds a 5% or greater equity, voting or profit participation interest in any enterprise that engages in such a
competitive activity. 
 “Client” means any client or prospective client of the MF Global Group to whom you
provided services or for whom you transacted business. 
 “Solicit” means any direct or indirect
communication of any kind, regardless of who initiates it, that in any way invites, advises, encourages or requests any person to take or refrain from taking any action. 
 (b) Your Importance to the MF Global Group and the Effect of this Section 8. You acknowledge that: 
 (1) In the course of your involvement in the MF Global Group’s activities, you will have access to Proprietary Information and the MF Global Group’s client base and will profit from the goodwill associated
with the MF Global Group. On the other hand, in view of your access to Proprietary Information and your importance to the MF Global Group, if you compete with the MF Global Group for some time after your employment, the MF Global Group will likely
suffer significant harm. In return for the benefits you will receive from the MF Global Group and to 

  

 - 8 - 

 
induce MF Global to enter into this Agreement, and in light of the potential harm you could cause the MF Global Group, you agree to the provisions of this
Section 8. MF Global would not have entered into this Agreement if you did not agree to this Section 8. 
 (2) This
Section 8 limits your ability to earn a livelihood in a Competitive Enterprise and your relationships with Clients. You acknowledge, however, that complying with this Section 8 will not result in severe economic hardship for you or your
family. 
 (c) Transition Assistance. During the 90 days after Termination Notice has been given, you will take all actions the MF
Global Group may reasonably request to maintain for the MF Global Group the business, goodwill and business relationships with any Clients. 
 (d) Non-Competition. Until the end of the period stated in the Schedule, you will not directly or indirectly: 
 (1) hold a 5% or greater equity, voting or profit participation interest in a Competitive Enterprise; or 
 (2)
associate (including as a director, officer, employee, partner, sole proprietor, consultant, agent or advisor) with a Competitive Enterprise and in connection with your association engage, or directly or indirectly manage or supervise personnel
engaged, in any activity: 
 (A) that is substantially related to any activity that you were engaged in, 
 (B) that is substantially related to any activity for which you had direct or indirect managerial or supervisory responsibility, or

 (C) that calls for the application of specialized knowledge or skills substantially related to those used by you in your
activities; 
 in each case, for the MF Global Group at any time during the year before the end of your employment.

 (e) Non-Solicitation of Clients. Until the end of the period stated in the Schedule, you will not attempt to Solicit any Client to
transact business with a Competitive Enterprise or to reduce or refrain from doing any business with the MF Global Group. 
 (f)
Non-Solicitation of MF Global Group Employees. Until the end of the period stated in the Schedule, you will not attempt to Solicit anyone who is then an employee of the MF Global Group (or who was an employee of the group within the prior six
months) to resign from the MF Global Group or to apply for or accept employment with any Competitive Enterprise. 
 (g) Notice to New
Employers. Before you accept employment with any other person or entity while any of Section 8(c), (d), (e) or (f) is in effect, you will provide the prospective employer with written notice of the provisions of this
Section 8 and will deliver a copy of the notice to MF Global. 
  

 - 9 - 

 9. Effect of Excise Tax and Limits on Golden Parachute Payments. 
 (a) Gross Up Payment. If there is a change in ownership or control of MF Global that causes any payment or distribution by any member of the MF
Global Group or any other person or entity to you or for your benefit (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required
under this Section 9) (a “Payment”) to be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (such excise tax, together with any interest or penalties incurred by you with respect to such excise tax, the
“Excise Tax”), then you shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by you of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to
such taxes), including any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, you will retain an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the
Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is determined that you are entitled to a Gross-Up Payment but that the Payments would not be subject to the Excise Tax if the Payments were reduced by an amount that is less than 5% of the Payments,
then the Payments will be reduced to the maximum amount that would not result in the imposition of the Excise Tax. (You will be entitled to elect the order in which amounts are reduced.) 
 (b) Determination of the Gross-Up Payment. Subject to the provisions of Section 9, all determinations required to be made under this
Section 9, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by a certified public accounting firm designated by
MF Global and reasonably acceptable to you (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to MF Global and you within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from you that there has been a
Payment with respect to which you in good faith believe a Gross-Up Payment may be due under this Section 9, or such earlier time as is requested by MF Global. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by MF Global. Any
Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 9, shall be paid by MF Global to you within 5 days of the later of (1) the due date for the payment of any Excise Tax, and (2) the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s
determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon MF Global and you. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm
hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by MF Global should have been made (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that MF Global exhausts
its remedies pursuant to Section 9(c) and you thereafter are required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by
MF Global to or for your benefit. The previous sentence shall apply mutatis mutandis to any overpayment of a Gross-Up Payment. 
  

 - 10 - 

 (c) Procedures. You shall notify MF Global in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service
that, if successful, would require the payment by MF Global of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than 20 business days after you are informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise MF
Global of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. You shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which you give such notice to MF Global (or such shorter
period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If MF Global notifies you in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, you shall: 
 (1) give MF Global any information reasonably requested by MF Global relating to such claim, 
 (2) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as MF Global shall reasonably request in writing from time to time,
including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by MF Global, 
 (3) cooperate with MF Global in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and 
 (4) permit MF Global to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; 
 provided, that MF Global shall bear and pay directly all
costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold you harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with
respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(c), MF Global shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at
its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct you to pay the tax claimed and sue for a
refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and you agree to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as MF Global shall
determine; provided that (A) if MF Global directs you to pay such claim and sue for a refund, to the extent permitted by law, MF Global shall pay such amount on your behalf (and shall indemnify and hold you harmless, on an after-tax
basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such amount or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such amount); and (B) any extension of the statute of
limitations relating to payment of taxes for your taxable year with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, MF Global’s control of the contest shall be limited to
issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder, and you shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority, and MF Global will
pay or reimburse any reasonable attorney’s fees you incur as a result of settling or contesting any such issue. 
  

 - 11 - 

 (d) Refund. If, after your receipt of an amount from MF Global pursuant to Section 9(c), you
become entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, you shall (subject to MF Global complying with the requirements of Section 9(c)) promptly pay to MF Global the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited
thereon after taxes applicable thereto). 
 10. Effect on Other Agreements; Entire Agreement. 
 This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and MF Global with respect to the relationship contemplated by this Agreement and supersedes any
earlier agreement, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. In entering into this Agreement, no party has relied on or made any representation, warranty, inducement, promise or understanding that is not in this
Agreement. 
 11. Successors. 
 (a)
Payments on Your Death. If you die and any amounts become payable under this Agreement, MF Global will pay those amounts to your estate. 
 (b) Assignment by You. You may not assign this Agreement without MF Global’s consent. Also, except as required by law, your right to receive payments or benefits under this Agreement may not be subject to execution, attachment,
levy or similar process. Any attempt to effect any of the preceding in violation of this Section 11(b), whether voluntary or involuntary, will be void. 
 (c) Assumption by any Surviving Company. Before the effectiveness of any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar transaction (including an exchange offer combined with a merger or
consolidation) involving MF Global (a “Reorganization”) or any sale, lease or other disposition (including by way of a series of transactions or by way of merger, consolidation, stock sale or similar transaction involving one or
more subsidiaries) of all or substantially all of MF Global’s consolidated assets (a “Sale”), MF Global will cause (1) the Surviving Company to unconditionally assume this Agreement in writing and (2) a copy of the
assumption to be provided to you. After the Reorganization or Sale, the Surviving Company will be treated for all purposes as MF Global under this Agreement. The “Surviving Company” means (i) in a Reorganization, the entity
resulting from the Reorganization or (ii) in a Sale, the entity that has acquired all or substantially all of the assets of MF Global. 
 12.
Disputes. 
 (a) Employment Matter. This Section 12 applies to any controversy or claim between you and the MF Global Group
arising out of or relating to or concerning this Agreement, or any aspect of your employment with MF Global or the termination of that employment (together, an “Employment Matter”). 
 (b) Continuation of Salary and Benefits. While any Employment Matter is pending, MF Global will continue to provide compensation and benefits in
accordance with this Agreement as if your employment had continued unaffected. MF Global may, however, elect to treat you as if you had been placed on paid leave for all or part of the time an Employment Matter is pending. You will not need to
reimburse MF Global even if it is determined pursuant to Section 12(c) that you are not entitled to receive the salary or benefits. 
  

 - 12 - 

 (c) Mandatory Arbitration. Subject to the provisions of this Section 12, any
Employment Matter will be finally settled by arbitration in the County of New York administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect. However, the rules will be modified in the following
ways: (1) each arbitrator will agree to treat as confidential evidence and other information presented to the same extent as the information is required to be kept confidential under Section 7, (2) a decision must be rendered within
10 business days of the parties’ closing statements or submission of post-hearing briefs and (3) the arbitration will be conducted before a panel of three arbitrators, one selected by you within 10 days of the commencement of arbitration,
one selected by MF Global in the same period and the third selected jointly by these arbitrators (or, if they are unable to agree on an arbitrator within 30 days of the commencement of arbitration, the third arbitrator will be appointed by the
American Arbitration Association; provided that the arbitrator shall be a partner or former partner at a nationally recognized law firm). Notwithstanding the preceding, to the extent the rules of any self-regulatory organization applicable to
the MF Global Group require an Employment Matter to be arbitrated by different arbitration rules, such required arbitration rules will apply. 
 (d) Limitation on Damages. You and the MF Global Group agree that there will be no punitive damages payable as a result of any Employment Matter and agree not to request punitive damages. 
 (e) Injunctions and Enforcement of Arbitration Awards. You or the MF Global Group may bring an action or special proceeding in a state or federal
court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the County of New York to enforce any arbitration award under Section 12(c). Also, the MF Global Group may bring such an action or proceeding, in addition to its rights under Section 12(c) and
whether or not an arbitration proceeding has been or is ever initiated, to temporarily, preliminarily or permanently enforce any part of Sections 7 and 8. You agree that (1) your violating any part of Sections 7 and 8 would cause damage to the
MF Global Group that cannot be measured or repaired, (2) the MF Global Group therefore is entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief restraining any actual or threatened violation of those Sections, (3) no bond
will need to be posted for the MF Global Group to receive such an injunction, order or other relief and (4) no proof will be required that monetary damages for violations of those Sections would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at
law would be inadequate. 
 (f) Jurisdiction and Choice of Forum. You and the MF Global Group irrevocably submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in the County of New York over any Employment Matter that is not otherwise arbitrated or resolved according to Section 12(c). This includes any action or proceeding to compel
arbitration or to enforce an arbitration award. Both you and the MF Global Group (1) acknowledge that the forum stated in this Section 12(f) has a reasonable relation to this Agreement and to the relationship between you and the MF Global
Group and that the submission to the forum will apply even if the forum chooses to apply non-forum law, (2) waive, to the extent permitted by 

  

 - 13 - 

 
law, any objection to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding covered by this Section 12(f) in the forum stated in
this Section, (3) agree not to commence any such action or proceeding in any forum other than the forum stated in this Section 12(f) and (4) agree that, to the extent permitted by law, a final and non-appealable judgment in any such
action or proceeding in any such court will be conclusive and binding on you and the MF Global Group. However, nothing in this Agreement precludes you or the MF Global Group from bringing any action or proceeding in any court for the purpose of
enforcing the provisions of Sections 12(c), 12(e) and this 12(f). 
 (g) Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by
law, you and the MF Global Group waive any and all rights to a jury trial with respect to any Employment Matter. 
 (h) Governing
Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within that State. 
 (i) Costs. To the extent permitted by law, MF Global will pay or reimburse any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, you
incur as a result of any Employment Matter. However, you agree to repay any expenses paid or reimbursed by MF Global if it is determined pursuant to Section 12(c) that you brought or contested the Employment Matter in bad faith. 
 13. General Provisions.

affected. In particular, if any provision of Section 8 is so found to violate law or be unenforceable because it applies for longer than a maximum permitted period or to greater than a maximum permitted area, it will be automatically amended to
apply for the maximum permitted period and maximum permitted area. 
 (d) No Set-off or Mitigation. Your and MF Global’s
respective obligations under this Agreement will not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or other right you or any member of the MF Global Group may have against each other or anyone else. You do not need to seek other employment or

 July 22, 2008 
 Michael Roseman, 
     at the address 
         in the Schedule 
  

	 	Re:	MF Global – Employment Agreement 

 Dear Michael: 

This is your EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT with MF Global Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“MF
Global”), and provides the terms of your employment with MF Global. 
 1. Terms Schedule 
 Some of the terms of your employment are in the attached schedule (your “Schedule”), which is part of this Agreement. 
 2. Term of Your Employment 
 Your employment under
this Agreement will begin on the “Commencement Date” set forth in your Schedule and will continue until terminated in accordance with Section 6(c). All subsequent references to “your employment” in this Agreement will
refer to your employment under this Agreement. 
 3. Your Position, Performance and Other Activities 
 (a) Position. You will be employed in the position stated in your Schedule. 
 (b) Authority, Responsibilities, and Reporting. Your authority, responsibilities and reporting relationships will correspond to your position and
will include any particular authority, responsibilities and reporting relationships consistent with your position that MF Global’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), MF Global’s Global Executive Committee or any officer of
the MF Global Group to whom you report may assign to you from time to time. Any specific reporting relationship provided in your Schedule replaces the relationship provided in this Section 3(b), and any specific authority or responsibility
provided in your Schedule is in addition to that provided in this Section 3(b). 

 (c) Performance. During your employment, you will devote substantially all of your business time
and attention to MF Global and its subsidiaries and affiliates (together, the “MF Global Group”) and will use good faith efforts to discharge your responsibilities under this Agreement to the best of your ability. 
 (d) Other Activities. During your employment, you will not render any business, commercial or professional services to any non-member of the MF
Global Group. However, you may (1) serve on civic or charitable boards or committees or financial industry trade associations (2) manage personal investments, or (3) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at
educational institutions, so long as these activities do not significantly interfere with your performance of your responsibilities under this Agreement. 
 4. Your Compensation 
 (a) Salary. You will receive an annual base salary (your “Salary”). The
starting amount of your Salary is in your Schedule. MF Global will review your Salary at least annually and may increase it at any time for any reason. However, your Salary may not be decreased at any time (including after any increase) other than
as part of an across-the-board salary reduction that applies in the same manner to all similarly situated executives, and any increase in your Salary will not reduce or limit any other obligation to you under this Agreement. Your Salary will be paid
in accordance with the MF Global Group’s normal practices for similarly situated executives. 
 (b) Bonus. You will be eligible
to receive an annual cash bonus (your “Bonus”) for each fiscal year of MF Global ending during your employment. The amount of your Bonus will be determined by MF Global in accordance with your Schedule, and it will be paid within
two and one-half months after the end of the fiscal year to which it relates. 
 (c) Other Executive Compensation Plans. You will be
entitled to participate in all of the MF Global Group’s executive compensation plans, including any management incentive plans, long-term compensation plans, equity compensation option plans and deferred compensation plans, on a basis that is
at least as favorable as that provided to other similarly situated executives of the MF Global Group. 
 5. Your Benefits 
 (a) Employee Benefit Plans. During your employment, you will be entitled to participate in each of the MF Global Group’s employee benefit and
welfare plans, including plans providing retirement benefits or medical, dental, hospitalization, life or disability insurance, on a basis that is at least as favorable as that provided to other similarly situated executives of the MF Global Group.

 (b) Vacation. You will be entitled to paid annual vacation on a basis that is at least as favorable as that provided to other
similarly situated executives of the MF Global Group. 
 (c) Business Expenses. You will be reimbursed for all business and
entertainment expenses incurred by you in performing your responsibilities under this Agreement. However, your reimbursement will be subject to the MF Global Group’s normal practices for similarly situated executives.

 6. Termination of Your Employment 
 (a) No Reason Required. You or MF Global may terminate your employment at any time for any reason, or for no reason, subject to compliance with Section 6(c). 
 (b) Related Definitions. 
 (1) “Cause” means any of the following: (A) your continued and willful failure to perform substantially your responsibilities to the MF Global Group under this Agreement, after demand for substantial performance
has been given by the Board or any officer of the MF Global Group to whom you report that specifically identifies how you have not substantially performed your responsibilities; (B) your willful engagement in illegal conduct or in gross
misconduct in connection with the business of the MF Global Group; (C) your conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony; (D) your willful and material breach of the MF Global Group’s written code of conduct
and business ethics or Section 7 or 8; (E) your willful attempt to obstruct or willful failure to cooperate with any investigation authorized by the Board or any governmental or self-regulatory entity; or (F) your disqualification or
bar by any governmental or self-regulatory authority from serving in the capacity contemplated by this Agreement or your loss of any governmental or self-regulatory license that is reasonably necessary for you to perform your responsibilities to the
MF Global Group under this Agreement, if (i) the disqualification, bar or loss continues for more than 60 days and (ii) during that period the MF Global Group uses its good faith efforts to cause the disqualification or bar to be
lifted or the license replaced. While any disqualification, bar or loss continues during your employment, you will serve in the capacity contemplated by this Agreement to whatever extent legally permissible and, if your employment is not
permissible, you will be placed on leave (which will be paid in full to the extent legally permissible). 
 For purposes of
this definition, (i) no act or omission by you will be “willful” unless it is made by you in bad faith or without a reasonable belief that your act or omission was in the best interests of the MF Global Group and (ii) any act or
omission by you based on authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board will be deemed made in good faith and in the best interests of the MF Global Group. 
 If MF Global does not give you a Termination Notice (as described in 6(c)) within 60 days after the Board has knowledge that an event
constituting Cause has occurred, the event will no longer constitute Cause. In addition, the Board must give you notice and 10 days to cure the first event constituting Cause under Section 6(b)(1)(D) or (E) (unless the event cannot be
cured). MF Global may place you on unpaid leave for up to 30 consecutive days while it is determining whether there is a basis to terminate your employment for Cause. 
  

 - 3 - 

 (2) “Disability” means your absence from your responsibilities with MF
Global on a full-time basis for 130 business days in any consecutive 12 months as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness or injury. If MF Global determines in good faith that your Disability has occurred, it may give you a
Termination Notice. If within 30 days of the Termination Notice you do not return to full-time performance of your responsibilities, your employment will terminate. If you do return to full-time performance in that 30-day period, the Termination
Notice will be cancelled for all purposes of this Agreement. Except as provided in this Section 6(b)(2), your incapacity due to mental or physical illness or injury will not affect MF Global’s obligations under this Agreement (including
that such illness or injury will not constitute a basis for Cause). 
 (c) Advance Notice Generally Required. 
 (1) To terminate your employment, either you or MF Global must provide a Termination Notice to the other. A “Termination
Notice” is a written notice that states the specific provision of this Agreement on which termination is based, including, if applicable, the specific clause of the definition of Cause and a reasonably detailed description of the facts that
permit termination under that clause; provided that the failure to include any fact in a Termination Notice that contributes to a showing of Cause does not preclude either party from asserting that fact in enforcing its rights under this Agreement.

 (2) You and MF Global agree to provide 60 days’ advance Termination Notice of any termination, unless your
employment is terminated by MF Global for Cause or because of your Disability or death. If you die or become Disabled after MF Global provides Termination Notice without Cause, your termination will be treated as a termination without Cause,
effective as of the date of your death or Disability. 
 (d) Without Cause. If MF Global terminates your employment without Cause:

 (1) MF Global will pay the following as of the end of your employment: (A) your unpaid Salary, (B) your Salary
for any accrued but unused vacation, and (C) any accrued expense reimbursements and other cash entitlements (including for accrued expense reimbursement for which supporting documentation is submitted within a reasonable time after termination
of your employment) (together, your “Accrued Compensation”). In addition, MF Global will pay you any amounts and provide you any benefits that are required, or to which you are entitled, under any plan, contract or arrangement of
the MF Global Group as of the end of your employment (together, the “Other Benefits”). 
 (2) MF Global will
pay your Earned Bonus. Your “Earned Bonus” means any earned but unpaid Bonus for the fiscal year ending immediately before the end of your employment. 
  

 - 4 - 

 (3) MF Global will pay your Severance Pay. Your “Severance Pay” means
(A) the sum of your Salary and Historic Bonus multiplied by (B) the severance multiplier provided on your Schedule (your “Severance Multiplier”). Your “Historic Bonus” means the average of the
Bonuses paid or payable to you for the three fiscal years (or, if less, the number of fiscal years since the Commencement Date) ending before Termination Notice is given. 
 (4) Subject to your timely election of continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended
(“COBRA”), your continued co-payment of premiums at the same level and cost to you as if you were an employee of the MF Global Group (excluding, for purposes of calculating cost, an employee’s ability to pay premiums with
pre-tax dollars), and your compliance with the obligations in Section 7 and 8, during the number of years equal to your Severance Multiplier (the “Severance Period”), you, your spouse and your dependents will continue to be
eligible to participate in the MF Global Group’s group health plan providing for medical, dental or hospitalization insurance on a basis that is at least as favorable as that provided to other similarly situated executives of the MF Global
Group and at least as favorable as the basis in effect immediately before Termination Notice was given provided that you remain eligible for COBRA continuation coverage (the “Welfare Benefits”). However, if the MF Global
Group’s plans do not permit you, your spouse or your dependents to participate on this basis, MF Global will provide Welfare Benefits (with the same after-tax effect for you) outside of the plans. If you become employed during the remainder of
the Severance Period and are eligible for coverage from your new employer, the Welfare Benefits will be secondary to your new coverage (i.e., the MF Global Group will reimburse you for any increased cost and provide any additional benefits
that are necessary to provide you with the full Welfare Benefits). 
 (e) For Cause or By You for Any Reason. If MF Global terminates
your employment for Cause or you terminate your employment for any reason, MF Global will pay your Accrued Compensation and your Other Benefits. 
 (f) For Your Disability or Death. If your employment terminates as a result of your Death or Disability, MF Global will pay your Accrued Compensation and Earned Bonus and will provide your Other Benefits. 
 (g) Condition. MF Global will not be required to make the payments and provide the benefits stated in Section 6(d) (other than the Accrued
Compensation and Other Benefits) unless you execute and deliver to MF Global an agreement releasing from all liability (other than the payments and benefits contemplated by this Agreement) each member of the MF Global Group and any of their
respective past or present officers, directors, employees or agents. This agreement will be in the form normally provided by the MF Global Group to its senior executives at the time. 
 (h) Timing. The benefits provided in this Section 6 will begin at the end of your employment, and any cash payments owed you under this
Section 6 will be paid in one lump sum within 20 days of the end of your employment or at any earlier time required by applicable law. 
  

 - 5 - 

 (i) Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any
payment(s) or benefit(s)under this Agreement would be subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code, any such
payments and/or benefits shall be delayed until the earliest day on which such payments could be made or benefits provided in compliance with Section 409A of the Code (at which point all payments so delayed shall be provided or reimbursed to
you in one lump sum). 
 7. Proprietary Information. 
 (a) Definition. “Proprietary Information” means confidential or proprietary information concerning (1) the MF Global Group’s businesses, strategies, operations, financial affairs,
organizational matters, personnel matters, budgets, business plans, marketing plans, studies, policies, procedures, products, ideas, processes, software systems, trade secrets and technical know-how , (2) any other matter relating to the MF
Global Group and (3) any matter relating to clients of the MF Global Group or other third parties having relationships with the MF Global Group. Proprietary Information may include information furnished to you orally or in writing (whatever the
form or storage medium) or gathered by inspection, in each case before or after the date of this Agreement. However, Proprietary Information does not include information (1) that was or becomes generally available to you on a
non-confidential basis, if the source of this information was not reasonably known to you to be bound by a duty of confidentiality, (2) that was or becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by you,
directly or indirectly, that is not authorized by the MF Global Group or (3) that you can establish was independently developed by you without reference to any Proprietary Information. 
 (b) Use and Disclosure. You will obtain or create Proprietary Information in the course of your involvement in the MF Global Group’s
activities and may already have Proprietary Information. You agree that the Proprietary Information is the exclusive property of the MF Global Group, and that, during your employment, you will use and disclose Proprietary Information only for the MF
Global Group’s benefit and in accordance with any restrictions placed on its use or disclosure by the MF Global Group. After your employment, you will not use or disclose any Proprietary Information. In addition, nothing in this Agreement will
operate to weaken or waive any rights the MF Global Group may have under statutory or common law, or any other agreement, to the protection of trade secrets, confidential business information and other confidential information. 
 (c) Return of Proprietary Information. When your employment terminates, you agree to return to MF Global all Proprietary Information, including
all notes, mailing lists, rolodexes and computer files that contain any Proprietary Information. You agree to do anything reasonably requested by MF Global in furtherance of perfecting the MF Global Group’s possession of, and title to, any
Proprietary Information that was at any time in your possession. 
  

 - 6 - 

 (d) Limitations. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits you from providing truthful testimony
concerning the MF Global Group to governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authorities. 
 8. On-going Restrictions on Your Activities 

(a) Related Definitions. This Section uses the following defined terms: 
 “Competitive Enterprise” means any business enterprise that either (1) engages in any activity that competes
anywhere with any activity that the MF Global Group is then engaged in or (2) holds a 5% or greater equity, voting or profit participation interest in any enterprise that engages in such a competitive activity. 
 “Client” means any client or prospective client of the MF Global Group to whom you provided services or for whom you
transacted business. 
 “Solicit” means any direct or indirect communication of any kind, regardless of who
initiates it, that in any way invites, advises, encourages or requests any person to take or refrain from taking any action. 
 (b) Your
Importance to the MF Global Group and the Effect of this Section 8. You acknowledge that: 
 (1) In the course of
your involvement in the MF Global Group’s activities, you will have access to Proprietary Information and the MF Global Group’s client base and will profit from the goodwill associated with the MF Global Group. On the other hand, in view
of your access to Proprietary Information and your importance to the MF Global Group, if you compete with the MF Global Group for some time after your employment, the MF Global Group will likely suffer significant harm. In return for the benefits
you will receive from the MF Global Group and to induce MF Global to enter into this Agreement, and in light of the potential harm you could cause the MF Global Group, you agree to the provisions of this Section 8. MF Global would not have
entered into this Agreement if you did not agree to this Section 8. 
 (2) This Section 8 limits your ability to
earn a livelihood in a Competitive Enterprise and your relationships with Clients. You acknowledge, however, that complying with this Section 8 will not result in severe economic hardship for you or your family. 
 (c) Transition Assistance. During the 60 days after Termination Notice has been given, you will take all actions the MF Global Group may
reasonably request to maintain for the MF Global Group the business, goodwill and business relationships with any Clients. 
 (d)
Non-Competition. Until the end of the period stated in the Schedule, you will not directly or indirectly: 
 (1) hold a
5% or greater equity, voting or profit participation interest in a Competitive Enterprise; or 
  

 - 7 - 

 (2) associate (including as a director, officer, employee, partner, sole proprietor,
consultant, agent or advisor) with a Competitive Enterprise and in connection with your association engage, or directly or indirectly manage or supervise personnel engaged, in any activity: 
 (A) that is substantially related to any activity that you were engaged in, 
 (B) that is substantially related to any activity for which you had direct or indirect managerial or supervisory responsibility, or

 (C) that calls for the application of specialized knowledge or skills substantially related to those used by you in your
activities; 
 in each case, for the MF Global Group at any time during the year before the end of your employment. 
 (e) Non-Solicitation of Clients. Until the end of the period stated in the Schedule, you will not attempt to Solicit any Client to transact
business with a Competitive Enterprise or to reduce or refrain from doing any business with the MF Global Group. 
 (f) Non-Solicitation
of MF Global Group Employees. Until the end of the period stated in the Schedule, you will not attempt to Solicit anyone who is then an employee of the MF Global Group (or who was an employee of the group within the prior six months) to resign
from the MF Global Group or to apply for or accept employment with any Competitive Enterprise. 
 (g) Notice to New Employers. Before
you accept employment with any other person or entity while any of Section 8(c), (d), (e) or (f) is in effect, you will provide the prospective employer with written notice of the provisions of this Section 8 and will deliver a
copy of the notice to MF Global. 
 9. Effect on Other Agreements; Entire Agreement. 
 This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and MF Global with respect to the relationship contemplated by this Agreement and supersedes any
earlier agreement, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. In entering into this Agreement, no party has relied on or made any representation, warranty, inducement, promise or understanding that is not in this
Agreement.

 (a)
Payments on Your Death. If you die and any amounts become payable under this Agreement, MF Global will pay those amounts to your estate. 
 (b) Assignment by You. You may not assign this Agreement without MF Global’s consent. Also, except as required by law, your right to receive payments or benefits under this Agreement may not be subject to execution, attachment,
levy or similar process. Any attempt to effect any of the preceding in violation of this Section 10(b), whether voluntary or involuntary, will be void. 
  

 - 8 - 

 (c) Assumption by any Surviving Company. Before the effectiveness of any merger, consolidation,
statutory share exchange or similar transaction (including an exchange offer combined with a merger or consolidation) involving MF Global (a “Reorganization”) or any sale, lease or other disposition (including by way of a series of
transactions or by way of merger, consolidation, stock sale or similar transaction involving one or more subsidiaries) of all or substantially all of MF Global’s consolidated assets (a “Sale”), MF Global will cause (1) the
Surviving Company to unconditionally assume this Agreement in writing and (2) a copy of the assumption to be provided to you. After the Reorganization or Sale, the Surviving Company will be treated for all purposes as MF Global under this
Agreement. The “Surviving Company” means (i) in a Reorganization, the entity resulting from the Reorganization or (ii) in a Sale, the entity that has acquired all or substantially all of the assets of MF Global.

 11. Disputes. 
 (a) Employment
Matter. This Section 11 applies to any controversy or claim between you and the MF Global Group arising out of or relating to or concerning this Agreement, or any aspect of your employment with MF Global or the termination of that
employment (together, an “Employment Matter”). 
 (b) Continuation of Salary and Benefits. While any Employment
Matter is pending, MF Global will continue to provide compensation and benefits in accordance with this Agreement as if your employment had continued unaffected. MF Global may, however, elect to treat you as if you had been placed on paid leave for
all or part of the time an Employment Matter is pending. You will not need to reimburse MF Global even if it is determined pursuant to Section 11(c) that you are not entitled to receive the salary or benefits. 
 (c) Mandatory Arbitration. Subject to the provisions of this Section 11, any Employment Matter will be finally settled by
arbitration in the County of New York administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect. However, the rules will be modified in the following ways: (1) each arbitrator will agree to
treat as confidential evidence and other information presented to the same extent as the information is required to be kept confidential under Section 7, (2) a decision must be rendered within 10 business days of the parties’ closing
statements or submission of post-hearing briefs and (3) the arbitration will be conducted before a panel of three arbitrators, one selected by you within 10 days of the commencement of arbitration, one selected by MF Global in the same period
and the third selected jointly by these arbitrators (or, if they are unable to agree on an arbitrator within 30 days of the commencement of arbitration, the third arbitrator will be appointed by the American Arbitration Association; provided
that the arbitrator shall be a partner or former partner at a nationally recognized law firm). Notwithstanding the preceding, to the extent the rules of any self-regulatory organization applicable to the MF Global Group require an Employment Matter
to be arbitrated by different arbitration rules, such required arbitration rules will apply. 
  

 - 9 - 

 (d) Limitation on Damages. You and the MF Global Group agree that there will be no
punitive damages payable as a result of any Employment Matter and agree not to request punitive damages. 
 (e) Injunctions and
Enforcement of Arbitration Awards. You or the MF Global Group may bring an action or special proceeding in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the County of New York to enforce any arbitration award under
Section 11(c). Also, the MF Global Group may bring such an action or proceeding, in addition to its rights under Section 11(c) and whether or not an arbitration proceeding has been or is ever initiated, to temporarily, preliminarily or
permanently enforce any part of Sections 7 and 8. You agree that (1) your violating any part of Sections 7 and 8 would cause damage to the MF Global Group that cannot be measured or repaired, (2) the MF Global Group therefore is entitled
to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief restraining any actual or threatened violation of those Sections, (3) no bond will need to be posted for the MF Global Group to receive such an injunction, order or other relief and
(4) no proof will be required that monetary damages for violations of those Sections would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate. 
 (f) Jurisdiction and Choice of Forum. You and the MF Global Group irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in the County of New York over any Employment
Matter that is not otherwise arbitrated or resolved according to Section 11(c). This includes any action or proceeding to compel arbitration or to enforce an arbitration award. Both you and the MF Global Group (1) acknowledge that the
forum stated in this Section 11(f) has a reasonable relation to this Agreement and to the relationship between you and the MF Global Group and that the submission to the forum will apply even if the forum chooses to apply non-forum law,
(2) waive, to the extent permitted by law, any objection to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding covered by this Section 11(f) in the forum stated in this Section, (3) agree not to commence any
such action or proceeding in any forum other than the forum stated in this Section 11(f) and (4) agree that, to the extent permitted by law, a final and non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding in any such court will be
conclusive and binding on you and the MF Global Group. However, nothing in this Agreement precludes you or the MF Global Group from bringing any action or proceeding in any court for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of Sections 11(c), 11(e)
and this 11(f). 
 (g) Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by law, you and the MF Global Group waive any and all
rights to a jury trial with respect to any Employment Matter. 
 (h) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by
and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within that State. 
 (i) Costs. To the extent permitted by law, MF Global will pay or reimburse any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, you incur as a result of any Employment Matter if the arbitrator determines that you have
substantially prevailed on the issues in the arbitration.

 (1) References (A) to Sections are to sections of this
Agreement unless otherwise stated; (B) to any contract (including this Agreement) are to the contract as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time; (C) to any statute, rule or regulation are to the
statute, rule or regulation as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time (and, in the case of statutes, include any rules and regulations promulgated under the statute) and to any section of any statute, rule or regulation
include any successor to the section; (D) to any governmental authority include any successor to the governmental authority; (E) to any plan include any programs, practices and policies; (F) to any entity include
any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, business trust and similar organization and include any governmental authority; and (G) to any affiliate of any entity are to any person or other entity directly or
indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the first entity. 
 (2) The various headings in
this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of any provisions or Sections of this Agreement. 
 (3) Unless the context requires otherwise, (A) words describing the singular number include the plural and vice versa,
(B) words denoting any gender include all genders and (C) the words “include”, “includes” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

 (4) It is your and MF Global’s intention that this Agreement not be construed more strictly with regard to you or MF
Global. 
 (b) Withholding. You and the MF Global Group will treat all payments to you under this Agreement as compensation for
services. Accordingly, the MF Global Group may withhold from any payment any taxes that are required to be withheld under any law, rule or regulation. 
 (c) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by any court of competent jurisdiction (or legally empowered agency) to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, then (1) the
provision will be amended automatically to the minimum extent necessary to cure the illegality or invalidity and permit enforcement and (2) the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected. In particular, if any provision of Section 8
is so found to violate law or be unenforceable because it applies for longer than a maximum permitted period or to greater than a maximum permitted area, it will be automatically amended to apply for the maximum permitted period and maximum
permitted area. 
 (d) No Set-off or Mitigation. Your and MF Global’s respective obligations under this Agreement will not be
affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or other right you or any member of the MF Global Group may have against each other or anyone else. You do not need to seek other employment or take any other action to mitigate any amounts owed to
you under this Agreement, and those amounts will not be reduced if you do obtain other employment (except as this Agreement specifically states).
