Exhibit 10.11

This Restricted Unit Agreement (this "Agreement") is made as of this 5th day of August, 2004 (the "Effective Date") between New Refco Group Ltd., LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Company"), and the undersigned employee (the "Employee"). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 7 hereof.

WHEREAS, the Company believes it to be in the best interests of the Company and its unitholders to take action to promote work-force stability, to reward performance and otherwise align interests of key management employees with those of the Company;

WHEREAS, accordingly the Company has determined to issue restricted units in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to be assured that the confidential information and goodwill of the Company will be preserved for the exclusive benefit of the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Issuance of Employee Units.

(a) Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company will issue to the Employee that number of Class B Common Units of the Company (the "Class B Common Units") set forth below such Employee's name on the signature page attached hereto. All of such Class B Common Units issued to the Employee hereby are referred to herein as "Employee Units." To secure the Company's rights under the Repurchase Option in Section 3, the Company will retain possession of the certificates representing the Employee Units and will provide the Employee with copies thereof.(1)

(1): The IRS has published guidance to the effect that if the Company and the Employee treat the Employee as the owner of the Employee Units from the Effective Date and the Employee takes into account his distributive share of Company items in computing his income tax liability, it is not necessary, given that the Class B Common Units will represent a pure profits interest in a partnership for tax purposes, for the Employee to make a Section 83(b) election with respect to his receipt of the Employee Units. Nevertheless, many recipients of these type of interests make a Section 83(b) election as a matter of practice.

(b) In connection with the acquisition of the Employee Units hereunder, the Employee represents and warrants to the Company that:

(i) the Employee Units to be acquired by the Employee pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for the Employee's own account, for investment only and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the Employee Units will not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws or this Agreement or the Securityholders' Agreement;

(ii) the Employee has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters and with respect to investments in securities of privately held companies so as to enable the Employee to understand and evaluate the risks and benefits of his or her investment in the Employee Units;

(iii) the Employee has no need for liquidity in his or her investment in the Employee Units and is able to bear the economic risk of his or her investment in the Employee Units for an indefinite period of time and understands that the Employee Units have not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, by reason of the issuance of the Employee Units in a transaction exempt from the registration and qualification requirements of the Securities Act or such state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be sold

unless subsequently registered or qualified under the Securities Act or such state securities laws or an exemption from such registration or qualification is available;

(iv) the Employee acknowledges that he or she is aware that the Employee Units may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act unless all of the conditions of that Rule are met. Among the current conditions for use of Rule 144 by certain holders is the availability to the public of current information about the Company. Such information is not now available, and the Company has no current plans to make such information available; and

(v) the Employee has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Employee Units and has had full access to or been provided with such other information concerning the Company as the Employee has requested.

(c) This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Employee, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Employee does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which the Employee is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which the Employee is subject.

(d) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Employee Units to the Employee and as a condition thereto, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) neither the issuance of the Employee Units to the Employee nor any provision contained herein shall entitle the Employee to remain in the employment of the Company or its subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company to terminate the Employee's employment at any time for any reason; and

(ii) except as provided in any other agreement between the Company or any subsidiary thereof and the Employee, the Company shall have no duty or obligation to disclose to the Employee, and the Employee shall have no right to be advised of, any material information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, at any time prior to, upon or in connection with the forfeiture of the Employee Units upon the termination of the Employee's employment with the Company or a subsidiary thereof.

(e) In connection with the issuance and sale by the Company to the Employee of the Employee Units, the Company represents and warrants that:

(i) the Company is a limited liability company validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to own, lease and operate the assets used in its business, to carry on its business as presently conducted, to enter into this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby;

(ii) the Company has taken all limited liability company action necessary to authorize its execution and delivery of this Agreement, its performance of its obligations thereunder, and its consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby; and

(iii) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

2. Vesting of Employee Units.

(a) General.

(i) Vesting. The Employee Units granted hereunder (the "Units") will be deemed "vested" (the "Vested Units") in accordance with this Section 2. One half of the Units (the "Non Performance-Based Units") will vest 25% on each of February 28, 2005, February 28, 2006,

February 28, 2007 and February 29, 2008, subject to the provisions of Section 2(b). The other half of the Units (the "Performance Units") will vest based upon the Company's achievement of the EBITDA targets set forth below for each of the Company's fiscal years ending February 28, 2005, February 28, 2006, February 28, 2007 and February 29, 2008 (each, a "Measurement Year"). The vesting for the Performance Units will be based on the following schedule:

EBITDA Targets
(dollars in millions)

Measurement Year	Target EBITDA		Cumulative Target EBITDA		90% of Target EBITDA		90% of Cumulative Target EBITDA		Eligible Performance Units
2005	$	294.7	$	294.7	$	265.2	$	265.2	25% of Performance Units
2006	$	348.9	$	643.6	$	314.01	$	579.2	25% of Performance Units
2007	$	403.9	$	1,047.5	$	363.51	$	942.75	25% of Performance Units
2008	$	464.6	$	1,512.1	$	418.14	$	1,360.89	25% of Performance Units

The minimum EBITDA targets set forth above shall be appropriately adjusted by the Company's Board of Managers for acquisitions and dispositions made by the Company (whether by purchase or sale of assets, merger or otherwise) and such adjustments shall take into account the pro forma annual EBITDA of any acquired business.

(A) Performance Based Vesting. Following the end of each Measurement Year, on the Measurement Date, the number of Performance Units set forth above that are identified above as first being eligible to vest for that Measurement Year (the "Eligible Performance Units") shall be eligible to vest. On each Measurement Date, 50% of the Eligible Performance Units with respect to the prior Measurement Year shall become Vested Units if at least 90% of the annual EBITDA target amount was met for the prior Measurement Year. If more than 90% of the annual EBITDA target amount was met for the prior Measurement Year, then the Eligible Performance Units with respect to the prior Measurement Year shall become Vested Units on a straight line basis such that an additional 5% of Eligible Performance Units shall become Vested Units for each 1% that actual EBITDA exceeds 90% of the annual EBITDA target amount.

(B) Catch Up. On the fourth Measurement Date, in addition to the vesting provided in subsection (A) above, the Eligible Performance Units for all prior Measurement Years that have not previously vested due to the Company's failure to meet any annual EBITDA target as of such date (collectively, the "Missed Performance Units") shall be eligible for "catch-up" vesting. Such "catch-up" vesting shall occur if the cumulative EBITDA target set forth above in the column for Measurement Year 2008 (which represents the cumulative EBITDA target for Measurement Years 2005 through 2008) is met; provided, that (a) at least 90% of the annual EBITDA target for Measurement Year 2008 is met and (b) the actual EBITDA for Measurement Year 2008 exceeds the actual EBITDA for Measurement Year 2007 (collectively, the "Catch-Up Targets"). If 90% of the cumulative EBITDA target for Measurement Years 2005 through 2008 is met, then 50% of the Missed Performance Units shall become Vested Units. If over 90% of the cumulative EBITDA target for Measurement Years 2005 through 2008 is met, then a number of Missed Performance Units will become Vested Units, determined on a straight line basis such that an additional 5% of the Missed Performance Units will become Vested Units for each 1% that actual cumulative EBITDA exceeds 90% of the cumulative EBITDA target for Measurement Years 2005 through 2008.

(ii) Change of Control. All Non Performance-Based Units that have not previously vested will vest in full upon a Change of Control. Performance Units that have not become Vested Units

will accelerate as set forth below upon a Change of Control solely if the Company (a) achieves at least 90% of the EBITDA target for the Measurement Year immediately preceding the year in which the Change of Control occurs, and (b) the actual EBITDA for the Measurement Year immediately preceding the year in which the Change of Control occurs exceeded the actual EBITDA for the preceding year. If (x) the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above are met, and (y) the Company achieved 90% of the cumulative EBITDA target for the Measurement Year completed immediately prior to the Change of Control, then 50% of the Missed Performance Units and 50% of the Performance Units that are not Eligible Performance Units shall become Vested Units. If (x) the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above are met, and (y) the Company achieved more than 90% of the cumulative EBITDA target for such immediately prior Measurement Year, then a number of Missed Performance Units and Performance Units that are not Eligible Performance Units will become Vested Units, determined on a straight line basis such that an additional 5% of the Missed Performance Units and 5% of the Performance Units that are not Eligible Performance Units will become Vested Units for each 1% that actual cumulative EBITDA for such immediately prior Measurement Year exceeds 90% of the cumulative EBITDA target for such immediately prior Measurement Year.

(b) In the event the Employee ceases to be employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries on a full-time basis for any reason, then (i) all Employee Units shall cease vesting effective as of the date upon which the Employee ceases to be so employed (the "Termination Date"), (ii) a fraction of the Non Performance-Based Units that otherwise would become Vested Units at the end of the Measurement Year in which such termination occurs will become Vested Units, the numerator of which fraction shall equal the number of whole months during such year (or, in the case of such termination prior to February 28, 2005, the number of whole months since the date of this Agreement) that the Employee remained employed by the Company and the denominator of which shall be twelve (12), and, (iii) in the event that the Company achieves the EBITDA target with respect to the Measurement Year in which such termination occurs, then the Eligible Performance Units with respect to such year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the number of whole months during such year that the Employee remained employed with the Company and the denominator of which is 12, shall become Vested Units as of the next Measurement Date.

(c) Notwithstanding the vesting terms set forth in clause (a) above, if the Employee remains employed on a full-time basis with the Company or any of its subsidiaries from the Effective Date through the eighth anniversary of the Effective Date, all Performance Units that have not previously vested shall automatically and immediately vest on the eighth anniversary of the Effective Date.

3. Repurchase or Forfeiture of Units.

(a) In the event that the Employee ceases to be employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries on a full-time basis for any reason, then all Employee Units (whether held by the Employee or by one or more of the Employee's transferees) which as of the date of termination:

(i) have not vested pursuant to Section 2 hereof, will be forfeited and returned to the Company;

(ii) have vested pursuant to Section 2 hereof, will be subject to repurchase by the Company, at its option (the "Repurchase Option"), for Fair Market Value.

(b) In the event of a Change of Control, then all Performance Units (whether held by the Employee or by one or more of the Employee's transferees) which, as of the date of such Change of Control, have not become Vested Units pursuant to Section 2, will be forfeited and returned to the Company.

(c) The Repurchase Option shall be exercised by the Company, or its designee, from time to time, by delivering to the Employee a written notice of exercise and a check in the amount of the Fair

Market Value. Upon delivery of such notice and payment of the purchase price as described above (or automatically upon any forfeiture of units pursuant to Section 3(a) or 3(b) ), the Company, or its designee, shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Employee Units being repurchased and all rights and interest therein or related thereto, and the Company, or its designee, shall have the right to transfer to its own name the number of Employee Units being repurchased without further action by the Employee or any of his or her transferees. If the Company or its designee elect to exercise the Repurchase Option pursuant to this Section 3 and the Employee or his or her transferee fails to deliver the Employee Units in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company, or its designee, may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, deposit the purchase price in an escrow account administered by an independent third party (to be held for the benefit of and payment over to the Employee or his or her transferee in accordance herewith), whereupon (or, in any case, upon any forfeiture of units pursuant to this Section 3) the Company shall by written notice to the Employee cancel on its books the certificates(s) representing such Employee Units registered in the name of the Employee and all of the Employee's or his or her transferee's right, title, and interest in and to such Employee Units shall terminate in all respects.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Company elects to repurchase any Class B Common Units pursuant to the Repurchase Option, the Company shall pay the purchase price for the Class B Common Units it purchases (i) first, by offsetting indebtedness, if any, owing from such Employee to the Company and (ii) then, by the Company's delivery of cash for the remainder of the purchase price, if any, against delivery of the certificates or other instruments representing the Class B Common Units so purchased, duly endorsed; provided that, (x) if any such cash payment at the time such payment is required to be made would result (A) in a violation of any law, statute, rule, regulation, policy, order, writ, injunction, decree or judgment promulgated or entered by any federal, state, local or foreign court or governmental authority applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their property or (B) after giving effect thereto, in a Financing Default, or (y) if the Board determines in good faith that immediately prior to such purchase there shall exist a Financing Default which prohibits such purchase ((x) and (y) collectively the "Cash Deferral Conditions"), the portion of the cash payment so affected may be made by the Company's delivery of a promissory note or senior preferred units of the Company with a liquidation preference equal to the balance of the purchase price. The promissory note or senior preferred units shall accrue interest or yield, as the case may be, annually at the "prime rate" published in The Wall Street Journal on the date of issuance, which interest or yield, as the case may be, shall be payable at maturity. The value of each such senior preferred unit shall as of its issuance be deemed to equal (A) the portion of the cash payment paid by the issuance of such preferred units divided by (B) the number of senior preferred units so issued. Any senior preferred units or the promissory note shall be redeemed or payable when and to the extent the Cash Deferral Condition which prompted their issuance no longer exists.

(e) In the event that Employee Units are repurchased or forfeited pursuant to this Section 3, the Employee and his or her successors, assigns or Representatives shall take (at the Company's expense) all steps necessary and desirable to obtain all required third-party, governmental and regulatory consents and approvals and take all other actions necessary and desirable to facilitate consummation of such repurchase in a timely manner.

(b) The Employee further acknowledges and agrees that (i) reasonable limits may be placed on the Employee's ability to compete against the Company and its Affiliates as provided herein to the extent that they protect and preserve the legitimate business interests and goodwill of the Company and/or its Affiliates and (ii) such limits are (A) in consideration for and as an inducement for, among other things, the receipt of the units, (B) the result of arms-length negotiations between the parties,

(C) reasonable in scope and duration, and (D) necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and its Affiliates. In addition, the Employee acknowledges (1) that the business of the Company and its Affiliates is international in scope and without geographical limitation and (2) notwithstanding the state of incorporation or formation or principal office or location of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective executives or employees (including the Employee), it is expected that the Company will have business activities and have valuable business relationships within its industry throughout the United States and the world.

(b) The Employee agrees that Proprietary Information is of critical importance to the Company and a violation of this Section 6.1(b) would seriously and irreparably impair and damage the Company's business. The Employee agrees that he shall keep all Proprietary Information in a fiduciary capacity for the sole benefit of the Company.

(c) The Employee shall not during the Employee's term of employment or at any time thereafter: (i) disclose, directly or indirectly, any Proprietary Information to any person, other than any person who, in the reasonable judgment of the Employee, needs to know such Proprietary Information or such other persons to whom the Employee has been specifically instructed to make disclosure by the Board of Managers and in all such cases only to the extent required in the course of the Employee's service to the Company; or (ii) use any Proprietary Information, directly or indirectly, for the Employee's own benefit or for the benefit of any person or entity other than the Company.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the words "Inventions in the Field" shall include any discovery, process, design, development, improvement, application, technique, or invention, whether patentable or copyrightable or not and whether reduced to practice or not, conceived, created, discovered, invented or made by the Employee, individually or jointly with others (whether on or off the Company's premises or during or after normal working hours), while in the employ of the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and which was or is directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or any of its affiliated companies or suppliers or customers, or which resulted or results from any work performed by, or use of any Documents, Property or other personal property of the Company (whether tangible or intangible and whether owned, leased or contracted for) by, any executive, employee or agent of the Company or any of its affiliated companies.

The Employee shall safeguard all Documents and Property and shall surrender to the Company within five (5) days of the date of termination of the Employee, or at such earlier time or times as the Board of Managers or its designee may specify, all Documents and Property then in the Employee's possession or control; provided, however, that the Employee may retain a copy of any personnel-related materials relating to his or her employment with the Company, including, but not limited to, this Agreement, any compensation or benefit plan or program, or any awards or evidence of participation in such plans or programs, or any other communications to or from the Company related to Employee's employment. During the Employee's term of employment, the Employee shall not make, use or permit to be used any Documents or Property otherwise than for the benefit of the Company. After the Employee's term of employment, the Employee shall not use or permit others to use any Documents or Property. This Section 6.2 and Section 6.1 shall not be construed to unreasonably restrict the Employee's ability to disclose Proprietary Information in an arbitration or court proceeding regarding the assertion of, or defense against, any claim of breach of this Agreement.

6.3 Non-Competition. During the Non-Competition Period (as defined below), the Employee will not and will not permit any of his Affiliates to anywhere in the Territory (as defined below) engage or participate in, directly or indirectly, alone or as principal, agent, employee, employer, consultant, investor or partner of, or assist in the management of, or provide advisory or other services to, or own any stock or any other ownership interest in, or make any financial investment in, any business or entity which is Competitive with the Company (as defined below); provided, however, that the ownership of not more than two percent (2%) of the outstanding securities of any class of securities listed on a national exchange or inter-dealer quotation system shall not constitute a violation of this Section 6.3. For purposes of this Agreement, a business or entity shall be considered "Competitive with the Company" as of any point in time during the Non-Competition Period if it competes with (A) the products then marketed or sold by the Company and/or any of its Affiliates and as such products may be improved and/or modified, (B) the services then marketed, sold or provided by the Company and/or any of its Affiliates and as such services may be improved and/or modified or (C) the products and/or
