THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AND RESTRICTIVE COVENANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into and effective as of August 7, 2023, by and between Blue Owl Capital Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Michael D. Rees (“Executive”). Capitalized terms used herein that are not defined in the paragraph in which they first appear are defined in Section 13 and, to the extent not defined therein (or if expressly stated herein), shall have the meaning set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Altimar Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Altimar”), Neuberger Berman Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Owl Rock Capital Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership, Owl Rock Capital Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Owl Rock Capital Feeder LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2020 (as amended, the “BCA,” and the transactions contemplated by the BCA, the “Transactions”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transactions, Altimar became “Blue Owl Capital Inc.”;

WHEREAS, the Company (as successor-in-interest to Altimar) and Executive are parties to that certain Employment and Restrictive Covenant Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2020 (as amended, the “Prior Employment Agreement”), which Prior Employment Agreement became effective on May 19, 2021 (the “Closing Date”) in connection with the closing of the Transactions on the Closing Date;

WHEREAS, (i) as a condition to the consummation of the Transactions, Executive was required to enter into such Prior Employment Agreement and Exhibit A thereto, for preservation of goodwill and to ensure that the Company received all bargained-for-benefits of the Transactions, and (ii) the Company desired to secure the continued services of Executive for the benefit of the Company and its Affiliates from and after the Closing Date, by entering into the terms of the Prior Employment Agreement, and Executive desired to continue to provide such services, subject to the terms and conditions of the Prior Employment Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the continued services of the Executive to the Company, the parties are, by their execution and delivery of this Agreement, intending to amend and restate the Prior Employment Agreement in its entirety as set forth in this Agreement.

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

1.    Services and Duties. Since the Closing Date, Executive has served (pursuant to the Prior Employment Agreement), and from and after the date of this Agreement during the remainder of the Employment Term, the Executive will continue to serve as a full-time employee of Blue Owl Capital Holdings, LLC, a Subsidiary of the Company (the “Employer”). From and after the date of this Agreement during the remainder of the Employment Term, (a) Executive shall have the Approved Titles, (b) without Executive’s consent, (i) none of the Approved Titles may be changed with respect to Executive, and (ii) no additional person or persons may be given any title (whether an Approved Title or otherwise), or have any title (except, for the avoidance of doubt, as results from a firing decision by the CEO in accordance with Exhibit B) removed or changed, in each case with respect to the GP Strategic Capital Business (and in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, (A) whether or not any such person or persons are currently (as of the date of this Agreement) or in the future employed by, serving as an officer or director of, or acting as a service provider to any Company Entities or otherwise, and (B) regardless of the amount of involvement or interaction with (if any) any such person or persons have in or with respect to the GP Strategic Capital Business), and (c) Executive shall have the responsibilities and authority, and shall perform the duties, in each case, with respect to the GP Strategic Capital Business set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto, together with any additional duties as may reasonably be agreed in writing between Executive and the CEO; provided, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to and without limiting any of Executive’s duties, responsibilities, rights to vote and other rights as a member of the Board (and any committees thereof) and without limiting any contractual rights of Executive (in his personal and any other capacity) under any agreement (including the Investor Rights Agreement) to which he is party, (x) except as otherwise agreed in writing by the CEO, in no event shall Executive have (including by reason of any title or position), and Executive agrees not to publicly state that he has and agrees not to knowingly exercise, any authority, responsibility or duty with respect to any business, group or department of the Company Entities other than the GP Strategic Capital Business or as a member of the Board and (y) the GP Strategic Capital Business, and Executive’s management of the GP Strategic Capital Business and his discharge of the responsibilities and duties set forth on Exhibit B, will be subject (as provided in this Agreement) to the General Firm Policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit or otherwise restrict Executive’s participation in Permitted Activities (as defined in, and subject to, Section 5 of Exhibit A).

2.    Term of Employment. The term of this Agreement and Executive’s employment hereunder shall commence on the date hereof and continue until terminated in accordance with Section 5 hereof. The period of time starting on the Closing Date and ending on the date of termination of Executive’s employment is the “Employment Term”.

3.    Compensation.

(a)    Base Compensation. In consideration of Executive’s full and faithful satisfaction of Executive’s duties under this Agreement, during the Employment Term, Executive will be paid a base salary at the rate of $500,000 per annum (the “Base Compensation”), payable in accordance with the Employer’s typical payroll procedures, but not less frequently than bi-monthly.

2

(b)    Additional Compensation.

(i)    In addition to the Base Compensation, and subject to the applicable limitations set forth in Section 2.3(b)(i) of the Investor Rights Agreement, for each calendar year during the Employment Term beginning with the calendar year ended December 31, 2023 (pro-rated, if applicable, for the calendar year in which the Employment Term ends if such calendar year is a partial calendar year), Executive will be entitled to additional compensation in an amount per annum equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the Applicable Portion over (B) the Base Compensation (“Additional Compensation”). Without limitation of Section 3(b)(iv), payment of the Additional Compensation will be in cash except that (1) Executive has elected to receive it in equity for calendar years prior to and including the year ended December 31, 2025, and (2) with respect to calendar years beginning January 1, 2026, to the extent that Executive is offered by the Company (subject to any necessary approvals under Section 2.3 of the Investor Rights Agreement) and Executive elects (in his sole discretion) to receive it in equity.

(ii)    In December 2023, with respect to the 2024 calendar year, and in each subsequent December with respect to the corresponding subsequent calendar year, in each case during the Employment Term, Executive will indicate to the Company (by notice in writing to the chief financial officer of the Company) a specified dollar amount, which amount shall be the draw that Executive shall be paid quarterly in installments in respect of his Additional Compensation in respect of the following calendar year (the “Quarterly Payment”) (which notified amount shall be reasonably selected not to, in the aggregate for such following calendar year (i.e., the sum of such four (4) Quarterly Payments), exceed an approximation of the maximum amount of the Applicable Portion (taking into account clause (ii) of the proviso in such definition) Executive would be entitled to in such calendar year), to be paid promptly to Executive consistently with Executive’s payment arrangements in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, that a Quarterly Payment may, without breach of this Agreement, be reduced if, and to the extent that, the Company’s chief financial officer determines, acting reasonably, that the aggregate of the four (4) Quarterly Payments for such calendar year is expected to exceed the maximum amount of the Applicable Portion to which Executive is entitled for such calendar year (taking into account clause (ii) of the proviso to the definition of “Applicable Portion”). Each Quarterly Payment will be paid (in cash and/or, as applicable in accordance with this Section 3(b), equity) quarterly (pro-rated for any partial quarters) in accordance with the timing of such payments under the General Firm Policies, but in no event later than when quarterly payments are made to the CEO (and, in respect of any payments to be made to Executive in cash, in no event shall such payments be made any later than thirty-one (31) days following the end of the relevant calendar quarter for the first three (3) quarters of each year and the first payroll after receipt of the Company’s audited financial statements with respect to such year in the case of the final calendar quarter). For the 2023 calendar year, (A) with respect to the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2023, the Quarterly Payment shall be $8,500,000 per quarter, and (B) the payments to Executive of “Additional Compensation”, as defined in and determined under the Prior Employment Agreement, with respect to the first two (2) fiscal quarters of 2023 shall (to the extent they are received by Executive) be counted on a dollar-for-dollar basis towards the total Additional Compensation owed to Executive with respect to the 2023 calendar year.

3

(iii)    In the fourth quarter of each calendar year (but in no event later than December 15 of such year), an estimate of the GP Strategic Capital Aggregate Compensation Amount for such entire calendar year shall be calculated (in accordance with this Agreement) by the Company’s chief financial officer and provided to Executive together with the method of such calculation. In the event that, based on such estimate, Executive’s four (4) Quarterly Payments for such calendar year (or, in the case of 2023, the amounts described in the last sentence of Section 3(b)(ii) above) would result in Executive receiving less than the maximum amount of the Applicable Portion (taking into account clause (ii) of the proviso in such definition) for such calendar year, Executive may determine to increase (e.g., by allocation of a portion of the bonus pool determined for the GP Strategic Capital Business for such calendar year) his Quarterly Payment for such fourth quarter to any amount that would not result in Executive exceeding his maximum Applicable Portion for such calendar year. Following the completion of the Company’s audited financial statements for a relevant calendar year (the “Audited Financial Statements”), the GP Strategic Capital Aggregate Compensation Amount and Applicable Portion in respect of such calendar year shall be promptly determined pursuant to the terms set forth in this Agreement.

(1)    In the event that the aggregate amount of Base Compensation and Quarterly Payments paid to Executive in respect of a calendar year exceeds the maximum Applicable Portion for such calendar year, with such excess amount referred to as the “Deficit,” the Executive will repay such Deficit in cash within fifteen (15) days after completion of the Audited Financial Statements for the relevant calendar year and the GP Strategic Capital Aggregate Compensation Amount has been finally determined in accordance with this Agreement. To the extent that any Deficit has not been repaid by Executive by the date required, the Company may, as a non-exclusive remedy and without breach of this Agreement, reduce any Base Compensation, Additional Compensation or Continued Compensation in an amount not to exceed any then-outstanding Deficit and such compensation shall be deemed paid to Executive for all purposes of calculating whether Executive received the Applicable Portion with respect to the calendar year in which such compensation was applied to reduce the Deficit.

(2)    In the event that the GP Strategic Capital Aggregate Compensation Amount in respect of a calendar year is finally determined to be greater than the estimated GP Strategic Capital Aggregate Compensation Amount for such year (the amount of any such excess, the “Excess”), then following such final determination Executive shall be promptly paid an amount equal to 30% of such Excess or, if Executive would be entitled to receive a higher percentage of such Excess pursuant to clause (ii) of the proviso in the definition of “Applicable Portion”, such higher percentage of the Excess, but in no event greater than the Aggregate Cap.

4

(3)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in respect of the calendar year in which the Employment Term terminates (for any reason), Executive will be entitled to receive and will be deemed to have elected to receive (without any further action by Executive) the maximum amount of the Applicable Portion (taking into account clause (ii) of the proviso in such definition, and for this purpose deeming Executive to have exercised fully his election described in such clause (ii) in accordance with the terms therein) to which Executive is entitled in such calendar year.

(iv)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary but without limitation of any rights of Executive under this Agreement, to the extent that (x) any CEO and/or (y) any Co-CEO (as such term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement, regardless of whether such individual then holds the title of, or is serving in the capacity as, the (or a) Chief Executive Officer or the Co-Chief Executive Officer) is offered or provided with: (A) the opportunity to receive (directly or indirectly) all or any portion of his or her compensation in equity securities or any other equity-like interests of any Company Entities, Executive shall be offered the same opportunity with respect to his Additional Compensation (on the same terms and conditions, and in respect of a pro rata amount of his Additional Compensation, based on the percentage of each CEO’s and/or Co-CEO’s compensation offered to be received as equity) and, if timely accepted by Executive (and Executive shall be provided no less time than was provided to any CEO or Co-CEO with respect to such an opportunity), payment in such equity securities on such terms shall be in satisfaction of the relevant portion of the Company’s obligations with respect to paying such relevant portion of Additional Compensation (under this Section 3(b)) in respect of the relevant calendar year (or relevant quarterly period(s) thereof); and (B) the opportunity to receive or participate in any fringe benefits, plans or similar arrangements, or any retirement benefit or similar entitlement, Executive will be entitled to receive and/or participate in any of the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to clause (A) above as related to calendar years 2024 and 2025, nothing therein shall be deemed to limit or invalidate Executive’s election to receive his compensation in calendar years 2024 and 2025 in the form of equity in accordance with the Company’s offer made to Executive prior to the date hereof.

(v)    With respect to the determination/calculation of the GP Strategic Capital Management Fee Revenue (including, as applicable, estimates thereof, and including with respect to GP Strategic Capital Aggregate Compensation Amount and any other related calculations with respect to Executive) in each relevant period, the Executive will be provided on a quarterly basis the determination/calculation of such amount (or, as applicable, estimated amount) with the reasonable opportunity to review and discuss such calculation (including with the chief financial officer of the Company).

5

4.    Employee Benefits.

(a)    Benefit Plans. During the Employment Term, Executive will be eligible to participate in any employee benefit, travel and retirement plans offered to employees generally, as well as any employee benefit plans offered to employees at the executive level, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plan documents (including any eligibility requirements and limitations contained in such plans) as may be in effect from time to time and all applicable laws. Nothing in this Section 4, however, shall require the Employer to maintain any employee benefit plan or provide any type or level of benefits to its employees, including Executive, and the Employer may modify or terminate any employee benefit plan at any time.

(b)    Paid Time Off. During the Employment Term, Executive will be entitled to paid time off (“PTO”) each year, to be used in accordance with the applicable Employer policies as in effect from time to time.

(c)    Reimbursement of Expenses. During the Employment Term, the Employer shall reimburse Executive for any expenses reasonably incurred by Executive in furtherance of Executive’s duties hereunder, in accordance with the applicable Employer policies as in effect from time to time.

5.    Termination. Subject to the terms of this Section 5, Executive’s employment and the Employment Term shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following (the applicable date of Executive’s termination of employment, the “Termination Date”): (a) a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company due to his Disability, effective on the date on which a written notice to such effect is delivered to Executive; (b) the date of Executive’s death; (c) a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause, effective on the date on which a written notice to such effect is delivered to Executive (for the avoidance of doubt, other than as set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above, Executive’s employment shall not be terminated by the Company for any reason other than Cause); and (d) a termination of Executive’s employment by Executive for any reason, effective on the three (3)-month anniversary of the date on which a written notice to such effect is delivered to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, only the Board may effect a termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 5(c) above.

6.    Consequences of Termination.

(a)    Payments and Benefits Due Upon Termination for Any Reason or No Reason. In the event that Executive’s employment and the Employment Term end for any reason or no reason, Executive or Executive’s estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the following (with the amounts due under Section 6(a)(i) through Section 6(a)(iii) hereof to be paid within sixty (60) days following the Termination Date, or such earlier date as may be required by applicable law): (i) any earned but unpaid Base Compensation through the Termination Date; (ii) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business and relocation expenses incurred through the Termination Date; (iii) any accrued but unused PTO in accordance with Employer policy; and (iv) any other accrued and vested payments (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the applicable amount of unpaid Additional Compensation in accordance with Section 3(b)(iii)(3)), benefits or fringe benefits to which Executive may be entitled under the terms of any applicable compensation arrangement, benefit or fringe benefit plan or program (collectively, the “Accrued Amounts”).

6

(b)    Additional Payments Upon Certain Terminations. In the event that Executive’s employment and the Employment Term end for any reason other than a Disqualifying Termination, then in addition to the Accrued Amounts, subject (other than in the case of Executive’s death) to Executive’s compliance with Section 7 and Section 8 below, Executive or Executive’s estate, as the case may be, will be entitled to, for each year during the Restricted Period (subject to pro-ration for any partial years), payment of an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the GP Strategic Capital Aggregate Compensation Amount (the “Continued Compensation”), payable annually within thirty (30) days following the completion of the Audited Financial Statements for the applicable calendar year. In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated as the result of a Disqualifying Termination, Executive will be entitled to the Accrued Amounts but will not be entitled to payment of the Continued Compensation or any other consideration pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)    Full and Complete Satisfaction. The amounts payable to Executive pursuant to Section 6(a) and Section 6(b) hereof following Executive’s termination of employment and the Employment Term shall be in full and complete satisfaction of Executive’s rights under this Agreement and any other claims that Executive may have in respect of Executive’s employment with the Company Entities, and Executive acknowledges that such amounts are fair and reasonable and that, following Executive’s termination of employment and the Employment Term, are Executive’s sole and exclusive remedy, in lieu of all other remedies at law or in equity, with respect to the termination of Executive’s employment hereunder or any breach of the provisions of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement (i) does not address the consequences, if any, that a termination of Executive’s employment would have upon the equity or other interests in the Company or its Affiliates held by Executive or members of the GP Strategic Capital Products Team, and (ii) does not limit, amend or affect the rights of Executive or any other parties to, or remedies or relief of any such parties pursuant to, the Principals Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement, the governing documents of Participant/PF Carry, or any other agreement or arrangement relating to the GP Strategic Capital Products, the GP Strategic Capital Business, or the GP Strategic Capital Products Team.

7.    Release; Continued Compliance. The Continued Compensation will only be payable if Executive (a) executes and delivers to the Company a customary general release of claims reasonably acceptable to the Company and Executive (the “Release”) within forty-five (45) days or twenty-one (21) days (as may be applicable under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act) following the Termination Date, and (b) thereafter does not revoke his consent to such Release within the time period prescribed therein; provided, however, that in no event shall the timing of execution (and non-revocation) of the Release, directly or indirectly, result in Executive designating the calendar year of payment, and if a payment that is subject to execution (and non-revocation) of the Release could be made in more than one (1) taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year. If, during the Restricted Period, Executive breaches Section 1 of Exhibit A, and such breach is not cured (to the extent susceptible of cure) following the Company’s written notice to Executive thereof, Executive’s right to receive the Continued Compensation will immediately cease and be forfeited, and Executive will repay any previously received Continued Compensation that is attributable to the period of time following such breach. As a further condition to the receipt of the Continued Compensation, upon any termination of employment, unless otherwise requested by the Executive Committee, Executive shall immediately resign from any officer, consultant, trustee or similar positions Executive holds with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (unless otherwise provided in the Investor Rights Agreement).

7

8.    Restrictive Covenants. The parties agree that the restrictive covenants set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the “Restrictive Covenants”) are incorporated herein by reference and shall be deemed to be fully contained herein. Executive understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants apply during (a) his employment with the Employer or any Affiliate of the Company and (b) the specified periods following termination of his employment with the Employer and any other Affiliate of the Company which may have employed him.

9.    Assignment. This Agreement, and all of the terms and conditions hereof, shall bind the Company and its successors and assigns and Executive and Executive’s heirs, valid assigns, executors and administrators. No transfer or assignment of this Agreement shall release the Company from any obligation to Executive hereunder. Neither this Agreement, nor any of the Company’s rights or obligations hereunder, may be assigned or are otherwise subject to hypothecation by Executive. In connection with the sale of all or substantially of the Company’s assets or equity or in connection with any merger, acquisition and/or reorganization, the Company may assign the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder, in whole or in part, to the successor or parent company in such transaction, provided, that the assignee assumes the obligations of the Company hereunder.

10.    Tax Withholding. The Employer shall be entitled to withhold such federal, state and local taxes as may be required pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

11.    Section 409A. To the extent applicable, the intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Code Section 409A”); and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.

(a)    A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amount or benefit upon or following a termination of employment, unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided until the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of Executive and (ii) the date of Executive’s death, solely to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 11(a) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to Executive in a lump sum, and all remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

8

(b)    To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, (i) all expense or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by Executive; (ii) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; and (iii) no such, expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year.

(c)    For purposes of Code Section 409A, Executive’s right to receive installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment or benefit under this Agreement that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.

12.    General.

(a)    Notices. Any notices provided hereunder must be in writing and shall be deemed effective (i) on the day of personal delivery or the following business day if such day of delivery is not a business day (including personal delivery by recognized overnight courier), (ii) with respect to e-mail, on the day of confirmation of receipt of such e-mail or (iii) the third business day after mailing by first class mail to the recipient at the address indicated below, or to such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party may have specified by prior written notice to the sending party:

(b)    Reasonableness of Restrictions; Severability; Reformation. The Company and Executive expressly agree that the restrictions contained in this Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto) (i) are reasonable and lawful, (ii) will not unnecessarily or unreasonably restrict Executive’s professional business opportunities should Executive cease to be an employee of the Company Entities and (iii) are no broader than necessary to protect the goodwill, confidential information, proprietary information, trade secrets and other legitimate business interests of the Company Entities. However, if any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, the invalidity of that provision shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or of rendering any other provisions herein unenforceable, but the invalid provision shall be substituted with a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and the economic effect of the invalid provision and that would be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by arbitration that any restriction in this Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto) is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to modify such restriction so as to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of that state.

(c)    DTSA. 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) provides: “An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.” Nothing in this Agreement (including Exhibit A) is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b).

(d)    Whistleblower Protection. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no provision of this Agreement (including Exhibit A) will be interpreted so as to impede Executive (or any other individual) from: (i) making any disclosure of relevant and necessary information or documents in any action, investigation or proceeding relating to this Agreement, or as required by law or legal process, including with respect to possible violations of law; (ii) participating, cooperating or testifying in any action, investigation or proceeding with, or providing information to, any governmental agency, legislative body or any self-regulatory organization, including, but not limited to, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress and any agency Inspector General; (iii) accepting any U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Awards; or (iv) making other disclosures under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. In addition, nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement or Company policy prohibits or restricts Executive from initiating communications with, or responding to any inquiry from, any administrative, governmental, regulatory or supervisory authority regarding any good faith concerns about possible violations of law or regulation. Executive does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures, and Executive will not be required to notify the Company that such reports or disclosures have been made.

10

(e)    Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including Exhibit A) constitutes the final, complete and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement and understanding between the parties related to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts the Prior Employment Agreement and any other prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral; provided, that (i) for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall this Agreement amend or limit any obligation of any party under the Investor Rights Agreement or the Principals Agreement and, in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement or the Principals Agreement with respect to the rights of any party under this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail, and (ii) in no event shall the amendment and restatement of the Prior Employment Agreement invalidate, revoke or qualify any consent or approval provided under the Prior Employment Agreement (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that no such consent or approval of Executive shall be deemed to limit, amend, contravene or waive any of Executive’s rights under this Agreement from and after the date hereof). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement does not supersede or preempt any agreements (including restrictive covenant agreements) to the extent they relate to or are a condition of continued vesting, repurchase rights and/or forfeiture of carried interest, capital interests and related economics in respect of the Existing Diamond Flagship Funds (as defined in the BCA) and any other investment fund (including the Homecourt funds) or investment product managed by any of the Company Entities, in each case, in effect on the Closing Date.

(f)    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one (1) of which need not contain signatures of more than one (1) party, but all of which taken together will constitute one (1) and the same agreement. A faxed, .pdf-ed or electronic signature shall operate the same as an original signature and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.

(g)    Amendments. No amendments or other modifications to this Agreement may be made except by a writing signed by each party hereto. No amendment or waiver of this Agreement requires the consent of any individual, partnership, corporation or other entity not a party to this Agreement.

(h)    Survivorship. The provisions of this Agreement necessary to carry out the intention of the parties as expressed herein (including, without limitation, Section 3(b)(v), the Restrictive Covenants provided in Section 8 hereof and the Exhibits hereto) shall survive the Termination Date.

(i)    Waiver. The waiver by either party of the other party’s prompt and complete performance, or breach or violation, of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate nor be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation, and the failure by any party hereto to exercise any right or remedy which it or he may possess hereunder shall not operate nor be construed as a bar to the exercise of such right or remedy by such party upon the occurrence of any subsequent breach or violation. No waiver shall be deemed to have occurred unless set forth in a writing executed by or on behalf of the waiving party. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that specifically waived.

(k)    Construction. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is the result of arm’s length negotiations between sophisticated parties, each afforded representation by legal counsel. Each and every provision of this Agreement shall be construed as though both parties participated equally in the drafting of the same, and any rule of construction that a document shall be construed against the drafting party shall not be applicable to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, for all purposes of this Agreement, “including” means “including, without limitation”.

(l)    Arbitration; Exclusive Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. To the fullest extent permitted by law and subject in all respects to the provisions of Section 1.5 of the Principals Agreement (including with respect to confidentiality of any such proceeding), any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the validity, interpretation, performance, breach, alleged breach, negotiation or termination of this Agreement, and its arbitrability, shall be settled by binding arbitration to be held in New York, New York and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (including the procedures for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes if applicable under those rules) in effect when the arbitration is commenced. Any such arbitration shall be in front of a panel of three (3) arbitrators comprised of one (1) independent and impartial arbitrator designated by the Company, one (1) independent and impartial arbitrator designated by Executive and one (1) independent and impartial arbitrator (who shall be the chair of the arbitral tribunal) jointly designated by the arbitrators designated by the Company and Executive in accordance with the rules of the AAA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent permitted in accordance with Section 1.5 of the Principals Agreement, any actions or proceedings seeking interim equitable relief, or to enforce an arbitration award, may be brought in, and with regard to such court proceedings the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of, the Delaware Court of Chancery or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court of the United States located in the State of Delaware or, if no such federal court shall have jurisdiction, the Delaware Superior Court and any appellate court from any appeal thereof. The parties agree that any process or notice of motion or other application to any of such courts, and any paper in connection with any such arbitration, may be served by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by personal service or in such other manner as may be permissible under the rules of the applicable court or arbitration tribunal, provided, that a reasonable time for appearance is allowed. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, the decision of the panel of arbitrators shall be final and binding and not be subject to appeal. The costs of the arbitration (“Arbitration Costs”), including any AAA administration fee and filing fee, arbitrators’ fees and the costs of the use of facilities during the hearings, will be initially borne equally by the claimant(s) and the respondent(s) and either party to the arbitration may bear 100% of the Arbitration Costs and seek reimbursement from the other party to the arbitration. Any costs (whether in an arbitration or court proceeding permitted to be instituted pursuant to this Section 12(l) or otherwise) that are specific to a particular party to such arbitration (“Personal Costs”), such as the fees and expenses of counsel, fact witnesses or experts shall be borne by the party incurring such costs. In any such dispute, the Company and Executive agree that the applicable arbitration panel or court shall award to the prevailing party (i) any Arbitration Costs that he, she, or it may have incurred, and (ii) his, her, or its Personal Costs, and, if such applicable arbitration panel or court determines a party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, such applicable arbitration panel or court may apportion such Arbitration Costs and Personal Costs between the prevailing and non-prevailing parties in such amounts as the arbitrator or courts deems equitable and appropriate under the circumstances; provided, that in the case of attorneys’ fees and expenses and other third party advisors’ fees and expenses, the non-prevailing party shall only be required to reimburse the prevailing party for, and an award shall only require the non-prevailing party to reimburse the prevailing party for, fees and costs incurred at the ordinary hourly rates of such attorneys and advisors (and specifically shall not award reimbursement of any Personal Costs to the extent such Personal Costs are contingency fees, success fees or other special fee arrangements). To the extent that a claim is instituted by, and later withdrawn, dismissed or otherwise abandoned by, a party, the arbitration panel or court with jurisdiction over such matter may award the other party its Arbitration Costs and Personal Costs in the same manner as though such other party was the prevailing party in such proceeding. The arbitrators shall have the power to grant temporary, preliminary and permanent relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, or any other remedy available from a court of competent jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 12(l) shall limit the ability of a party to seek or obtain injunctive relief under Section 12(m). Nothing herein shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT IT OR HE WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT, CLAIMANT, RESPONDENT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AND AGREES THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE ITS OR HIS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS AND WILL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached.
