Upon the expiration of the Initial Term and any one-year extension thereafter, the Initial Term or the extended term, as applicable, shall be automatically extended for one additional year unless either party hereto gives the other party at least six (6) months of advance written notice that he or it does not want such extension to occur (a “Notice of Non-Extension”), in which case the Initial Term or the extended term, as applicable, will not be further extended. Notwithstanding any extensions beyond the Initial Term, the Employee’s employment may be sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

2.2		During the Term, the Employee shall:

	(a)		at all times and in all respects conform to and comply with the lawful and reasonable directions of GLG, and, to the extent applicable to the Employee, conform to and comply with all rules or codes of conduct and statements of principle in force from time to time or required by any regulatory body in relation to the business of GLG or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “GLG Entities”);

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

2

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

3

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

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

4

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

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

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

5

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

6

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

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

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

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

7

		“separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code), including any amount payable under this clause 8, then, notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, such payment will not be made to the Employee until the day after the date that is six months following the Employee’s “separation from service,” to the extent such payment otherwise would have been made during such six-month period, but only if the Employee is deemed by GLG, in accordance with any relevant procedures that it may establish, to be a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code at the time the Employee “separates from service.” This clause 8.6 will not be applicable after the Employee’s death.
8.7		Upon the termination of his employment (for whatever reason and howsoever arising), the Employee shall not at any time thereafter make any untrue or misleading oral or written statement concerning the business and affairs of any GLG Entity, nor represent himself or permit himself to be held out as being in any way connected with or interested in the business of any GLG Entity (except as a former employee for the purpose of communicating with prospective employers or complying with any applicable law, or as a holder of any outstanding equity award granted to the Employee).

8

		written authorization of GLG. The Employee shall use best endeavors to prevent the unauthorized publication or misuse of any Confidential Information.
9.3		The restrictions of clause 9.2 do not apply to any Confidential Information that (a) has entered into the public domain other than by a breach of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality of which the Employee is aware, or (b) solely to the extent and for the duration required, is required to be disclosed under a validly-issued court order and which disclosure the GLG Entities, following the Employee’s immediate notification to GLG of such requirement, are unable legally to prevent.
9.4		The Employee will be required, and hereby agrees, to execute any additional confidentiality agreements with any GLG Entity in such form as will be required by GLG or such GLG Entity.

10.3		If, at any time in the course of the Employee’s employment with GLG, the Employee makes or discovers or participates in the making or discovery of any Intellectual Property relating to or capable of being used in the business of any

10.4		The Employee hereby irrevocably appoints GLG or its nominee to be the Employee’s agent to sign any instrument, or to execute or do any act, on the Employee’s behalf in order to give GLG or its nominee the full benefit of this clause 10, and in favor of any third party a certificate in writing signed by an officer of GLG that any instrument or act falls within the authority of GLG conferred by this clause 10 shall be conclusive evidence that such is the case.
10.5		The Employee hereby waives all of the Employee’s moral rights, if any, in respect of any acts of any GLG Entity or any party acting on its authority, in relation to any Intellectual Property that is the property of or licensed to GLG, its nominee, or any GLG Entity by virtue of this clause 10.
10.6		The Employee agrees that he has disclosed in writing all Intellectual Property that was made or discovered by the Employee prior to the commencement of his employment with GLG, or that belongs to the Employee either solely or jointly with others (each such item referred to as a “Prior Invention” and collectively as “Prior Inventions”).

	12.4.10		hire or engage for services any Key Individual who, on the Employee’s employment termination date, is employed or engaged by any GLG Entity, or who was so employed or engaged at any time during the six months immediately preceding the Employee’s employment termination date.

12.5		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause 12, following the termination of the Employee’s employment with GLG, the Employee will be permitted to (a) work for any certified public accounting firm, provided that the Employee is not involved in (whether by working for, advising, consulting with, or otherwise servicing) any aspect of such firm’s investment management or investment advisory businesses, if any, including any such business conducted through such firm’s subsidiaries or other related entities, and (b) service the clients of any certified public accounting firm.
12.6		The Employee hereby agrees that he will, at the cost of GLG, enter into a direct agreement or undertaking with any GLG Entity whereby he will accept restrictions and provisions corresponding to the restrictions and provisions in this clause 12 in

15

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

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

16

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

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

17

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