LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of March 29, 2006 (the “Effective Date”) by and among SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation (“SVB”), as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) for the Lenders and administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders (Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent are collectively the “Agent”), and the Lenders listed on Schedule 1.1 and otherwise party hereto, including, without limitation, SVB and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) (SVB and JPMorgan are, collectively, the “Joint Bookrunners”) and GAIN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), provides the terms on which Lenders shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Lenders. The parties agree as follows:

1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.

2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Lenders the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

2.1.1 Term Loan.

(a) Availability. Lenders shall, jointly and not severally, shall make one (1) term loan available to Borrower in an amount up to the Term Loan Amount according to each lender’s pro rata share of the Term Loan Amount (based upon the respective Commitment Percentage of each Lender) on or after ten (10) days after the Effective Date subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement

(b) Repayment. In addition to monthly payments of interest, commencing on October 1, 2006, Borrower shall repay the Term Loan in (i) twelve (12) equal quarterly installments of principal, plus (ii) monthly payments of accrued interest (the “Term Loan Payment”). Borrower’s final Term Loan Payment, due on the Term Loan Maturity Date, shall include all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan.

2.2 General Provisions Relating to the Credit Extensions. Each Credit Extension shall, at Borrower’s option in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, be either in the form of a Prime Rate Credit Extension or a LIBOR Credit Extension; provided that in no event shall Borrower maintain at any time LIBOR Credit Extension having more than one (1) different Interest Period. Borrower shall pay interest accrued on the Credit Extensions at the rates and in the manner set forth in Section 2.3(a).

2.3 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(a) Computation of Interest. Interest on the Credit Extensions and all fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which such interest accrues. In computing interest on any Credit Extension, the date of the making of such Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension.

(b) Credit Extensions. Each Credit Extension shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made, continued or converted until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Margin or the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, as the case may be. On and after the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Credit Extension outstanding on the date of occurrence of an Event of Default or acceleration of the Obligations, the Effective Amount of such LIBOR Credit Extension shall, during the continuance of such Event of Default or after acceleration, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate (as defined below). Pursuant to the terms hereof, interest on each Credit Extension

shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of any Credit Extension pursuant to this Agreement for the portion of any Credit Extension so prepaid and upon payment (including prepayment) in full thereof. All accrued but unpaid interest on the Credit Extensions shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(c) Default Rate. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.3(b), after an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest five percent (5.00%) above the Prime Rate (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest provided in this Section 2.3(c) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Agent or Lenders.

(d) Prime Rate Credit Extensions. Each change in the interest rate of the Prime Rate Credit Extensions based on changes in the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change and to the extent of such change. Agent shall use its best efforts to give Borrower prompt notice of any such change in the Prime Rate; provided, however, that any failure by Agent to provide Borrower with notice hereunder shall not affect Agent’s right to make changes in the interest rate of the Prime Rate Credit Extensions based on changes in the Prime Rate.

(e) LIBOR Credit Extensions. The interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Credit Extension shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.6(a) hereunder. Subject to Sections 3.6 and 3.7, such rate shall apply during the entire Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Credit Extension, and interest calculated thereon shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date applicable to such LIBOR Credit Extension.

(f) Debit of Accounts. Agent may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments when due, or any other amounts Borrower owes Lenders, when due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

(g) Payments. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly on the first calendar day of each month. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 noon Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue.

2.4 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent:

(a) Commitment Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee of Two Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($225,000.00) (to be shared between Lenders pursuant to their respective Commitment Percentages), on the Effective Date;

(b) Prepayment Fee. The Prepayment Fee, when due hereunder (unless the prepayment occurs in connection with any prepayment required by regulatory actions, in which case no Prepayment Fee shall be due or owing hereunder); and

(c) Lenders’ Expenses. All Lenders’ Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, plus expenses, for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due.

-3-

Borrower agrees to deliver to Agent each item required to be delivered to Agent under this Agreement as a condition to any Credit Extension. Borrower expressly agrees that the extension of a Credit Extension prior to the receipt by Agent of any such item shall not constitute a waiver by Agent of Borrower’s obligation to deliver such item, and any such extension in the absence of a required item shall be in Agent’s sole discretion.

3.4 Procedure for the Borrowing of Credit Extensions.

(a) Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of a Credit Extension set forth in this Agreement, each Credit Extension shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable written notice delivered to Agent in the form of a Notice of Borrowing, each executed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower or his or her designee or without instructions if the Credit Extensions are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Agent may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Agent believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Lenders for any loss Lenders suffer due to such reliance by Agent. Such Notice of Borrowing must be received by Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. Eastern time, (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of LIBOR Credit Extensions, and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of Prime Rate Credit Extensions, specifying:

(i) the amount of the Credit Extension, which, if a LIBOR Credit Extension is requested, shall be in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or in any integral multiple of S1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(ii) the requested Funding Date; and

(iii) whether the Credit Extension is to be comprised of LIBOR Credit Extensions or Prime Rate Credit Extensions.

(b) The proceeds of all such Credit Extensions will then be made available to Borrower on the Funding Date by Lenders by transfer to the Designated Deposit Account and, subsequently, by wire transfer to such other account as Borrower may instruct in the Notice of Borrowing. No Credit Extensions shall be deemed made to Borrower, and no interest shall accrue on any such Credit Extension, until the related funds have been deposited in the Designated Deposit Account.

3.5 Conversion and Continuation Elections.

(a) So long as (i) no Event of Default or Default exists; (ii) Borrower shall not have sent any notice of termination of this Agreement; and (iii) Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as Lenders have established from time to time for Borrower’s requests for LIBOR Credit Extensions, Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to Agent:

(i) elect to convert on any Business Day, Prime Rate Credit Extensions in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into LIBOR Credit Extensions;

(ii) elect to continue on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Credit Extensions maturing on such Interest Payment Date (or any part thereof in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof); provided, that if the aggregate amount of LIBOR Credit Extensions shall have been reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof, to be less than $1,000,000, such LIBOR Credit Extensions shall automatically convert into Prime Rate Credit Extensions, and on and after such date the right of Borrower to continue such Credit Extensions as, and convert such Credit Extensions into, LIBOR Credit Extensions shall terminate; or

(iii) elect to convert on any Interest Payment Date any LIBOR Credit Extensions maturing on such Interest Payment Date (or any part thereof in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) into Prime Rate Credit Extensions.

(b) Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation in accordance with Section 10 to be received by Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. Eastern time at least (i) three (3) Business Days in advance of the Conversion Date or Continuation Date, if any Credit Extensions are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Credit Extensions; and (ii) one (1) Business Day in advance of the Conversion Date, if any Credit Extensions are to be converted into Prime Rate Credit Extensions, in each case specifying the:

-4-

(i) proposed Conversion Date or Continuation Date;

(ii) aggregate amount of the Credit Extensions to be converted or continued which, if any Credit Extensions are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Credit Extensions, shall be in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or in any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and

(iii) nature of the proposed conversion or continuation.

(c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Credit Extensions, Borrower shall have failed to timely select a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Credit Extensions, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Credit Extensions into Prime Rate Credit Extensions.

(d) Any LIBOR Credit Extensions shall, at Agent’s option, convert into Prime Rate Credit Extensions in the event that (i) an Event of Default or Default shall exist, or (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Prime Rate Credit Extensions which have been previously converted to LIBOR Credit Extensions, or the aggregate principal amount of existing LIBOR Credit Extensions continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an Interest Period shall at any time during such Interest Period exceed the Term Loan Amount. Borrower agrees to pay Agent, upon demand by Agent (or Agent or Lenders may, at their option, charge the Designated Deposit Account or any other account Borrower maintains with Lenders) any amounts required to compensate Agent and Lenders for any loss {including loss of anticipated profits), cost, or expense incurred by Agent or Lenders, as a result of the conversion of LIBOR Credit Extensions to Prime Rate Credit Extensions pursuant to any of the foregoing.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lenders shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBOR market to fund any LIBOR Credit Extensions, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Lenders had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBOR Credit Extensions.

3.6 Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Credit Extensions.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Credit Extensions as to the matters covered:

(a) Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. As soon as practicable on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error in calculation, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the LIBOR Credit Extensions for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower.

(b) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any LIBOR Credit Extension, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Credit Extension on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR, Agent shall on such date give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower of such determination, whereupon (i) no Credit Extensions may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Credit Extensions until such time as Agent notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to Credit Extensions in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower.

(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrower shall compensate Agent and Lenders, upon written request by Agent and/or Lenders (which request shall set forth the manner and method of computing such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities, if any (including any interest paid by Agent and/or Lenders to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its LIBOR Credit Extensions and any loss, expense or liability incurred by Agent and/or Lenders in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds) such that Agent and/or Lenders may incur: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by Agent and/or Lenders or due to any failure of Lenders to fund LIBOR Credit Extensions due to impracticability or illegality under Sections 3.7(d) and 3.7(e)) a borrowing or a conversion to or continuation of any LIBOR Credit Extension does not occur on a date specified in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of

-5-

Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, or (ii) if any principal payment or any conversion of any of its LIBOR Credit Extensions occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Credit Extension.

(d) Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Credit Extensions. Calculation of all amounts payable to Lenders under this Section 3.6 and under Section 3.4 shall be made as though Lenders had actually funded each of its relevant LIBOR Credit Extensions through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Credit Extension and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that Lenders may fund each of their LIBOR Credit Extensions in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 3.6 and under Section 3.4.

(e) LIBOR Credit Extensions After Default. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) Borrower may not elect to have a Credit Extension be made or continued as, or converted to, a LIBOR Credit Extension after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for such Credit Extension and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(c), any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to a requested conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower and be deemed a request to convert or continue Credit Extensions referred to therein as Prime Rate Credit Extensions.

3.7 Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Credit Extensions.

(a) If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment or acceleration), any Lender receives all or part of the principal amount of a LIBOR Credit Extension prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Credit Extension, Borrower shall immediately notify Borrower’s account officer at Agent and, on demand by Agent, pay Lenders the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received until the last day of such Interest Period exceeds (ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by Lenders by placing the amount so received on deposit in the certificate of deposit markets, the offshore currency markets, or United States Treasury investment products, as the case may be, for a period starting on the date on which it was so received and ending on the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by each Lender in such Lender’s reasonable discretion. Lenders’ determination as to such amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Borrower shall pay Lenders, upon demand by Agent, from time to time such amounts as Lenders may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by Lenders that Lenders determine are attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by Lenders hereunder in respect of any Credit Extensions relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

(i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Lenders under this Agreement in respect of any Credit Extensions (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of Lenders by the jurisdiction in which Lenders have their respective principal offices);

(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, or other liabilities of Lenders (including any Credit Extensions or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR); or

(iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).

Agent will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the Closing Date which will entitle Lenders to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.7 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. Agent will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Lenders for compensation under this Section 3.7. Determinations and allocations by Lenders for purposes of this Section 3.7 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make Credit Extensions, of making or maintaining Credit Extensions, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Credit Extensions, and of the additional amounts required to compensate Lenders in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-6-

(c) If Lenders shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lenders (or their applicable respective lending offices) with any respect or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Lenders or any person, or entity controlling any Lender (a “Parent”) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which any Lender (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by any Lender to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by Agent, Borrower shall pay to Lenders such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lenders for such reduction. A statement of Agent claiming compensation under this Section 3.7(c) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) If, at any time, any Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that (i) the amount of LIBOR Credit Extensions for periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods are not available to such Lender in the offshore currency interbank markets, or (ii) LIBOR does not accurately reflect the cost to Lenders of lending the LIBOR Credit Extensions, then Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower. Upon the giving of such notice, each Lender’s obligation to make the LIBOR Credit Extensions shall terminate; provided, however, Credit Extensions shall not terminate if Agent, each Lender and Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to LIBOR Credit Extensions.

(e) If it shall become unlawful for Agent or Lenders to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Credit Extensions, or to perform its obligations hereunder, upon demand by Agent, Borrower shall prepay the Credit Extensions in full with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, any amount payable in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.7(a)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by Agent as described above relates to a LIBOR Credit Extension then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(c), to (i) rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation by giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Agent of such rescission on the date on which Agent gives notice of its determination as described above, or (ii) modify such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation to obtain a Prime Rate Credit Extension or to have outstanding Credit Extensions converted into or continued as Prime Rate Credit Extensions by giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Agent of such modification on the date on which Agent gives notice of its determination as described above.

3.8 Notices. Any information delivered to Agent pursuant to this Section 3 shall promptly be delivered by Agent to each Lender in order to satisfy each Lender’s obligations hereunder.

4 CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, and to each Lender, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, and to each Lender, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Lenders’ Lien under this Agreement). If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Agent in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Agent and Lenders in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

If this Agreement is terminated, Lenders’ Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations and at such time as Lenders’ obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Lenders shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.

4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Agent’s and

-7-

Lenders’ interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of the Lenders under the Code.

5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Borrower represents and warrants, with respect to itself, and its Subsidiaries:

5.1 Due Organization and Authorization. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries are duly existing arid in good standing, as Registered Organizations in their respective jurisdictions of formation and are qualified and licensed to do business and are in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of their business or their ownership of property requires that they be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. In connection with this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Agent and Lenders a completed certificate signed by Borrower (the “Perfection Certificate”). Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and each Lender that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) Borrower is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete. If Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Agent of such occurrence and provide Agent with Borrower’s organizational identification number.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ organizational documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower or any one of its Subsidiaries is bound. Borrower and its Subsidiaries are not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s business.

5.2 Collateral. Borrower has good title to, has rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to xxxxx x Xxxx hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no deposit accounts other than the deposit accounts with Lenders, the deposit accounts, if any, described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Agent and Lenders in connection herewith, or of which Borrower has given Agent notice and taken such actions as are necessary to give Agent and Lenders a perfected security interest therein.

The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate. None of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate or as Borrower has given Agent notice pursuant to Section 7.2. In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any portion of the Collateral to a bailee, then Borrower will first receive the written consent of Lenders and such bailee must execute and deliver a bailee agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lenders in their sole discretion.

All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.

Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by, any license or other agreement with respect to which Borrower is the licensee that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property. Borrower shall provide written notice to Agent within ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by any such license or agreement which is reasonably likely to have a material impact on Borrower’s business or financial condition (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public). Borrower shall take such steps as Lenders request to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for all such licenses or contract rights to be deemed “Collateral” and for Lenders to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement (such consent or authorization may include a licensor’s agreement to a contingent assignment of the license to Lenders if Lenders determine that is necessary in their good faith judgment), whether now existing or entered into in the future.

Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business. None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally.

9 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

9.1 Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues Agent may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Agent and/or Lenders);

(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Agent and/or Lenders;

(c) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Agent considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Agent’s and Lenders’ security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;

(d) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Agent requests and make it available as Agent designates. Agent may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Agent for the benefit of

-14-

Lenders a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Agent’s and/or Lenders’ rights or remedies;

(e) apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Agent or Lenders owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

(f) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Agent is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Agent for benefit of Lenders;

(i) exercise all rights and remedies available to Agent and/or Lenders under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Agent determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Agent for the benefit of Lenders or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Agent and Lenders are under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Agent’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Agent’s and Lenders’ obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3 Accounts Verification; Collection. Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Agent’s and Lenders’ security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such account. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, any amounts received by Borrower shall be held in trust by Borrower for Agent and Lenders, and, if requested by Agent, Borrower shall immediately deliver such receipts to Agent in the form received from the Account Debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

9.4 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent and/or Lenders may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Agent and/or Lenders are Lenders’ Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the Default Rate, and secured by the Collateral. Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Agent and/or Lenders obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Agent or Lenders are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Agent’s or Lenders’ waiver of any Event of Default.

9.5 Application of Payments and Proceeds. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, or proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, first, to Lenders’ Expenses, including without limitation, the reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys’ fees

-15-

incurred by Agent and/or Lenders in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement; second, to the interest due upon any of the Obligations; and third, to the principal of the Obligations and any applicable fees and other charges, in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders for any deficiency. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders for any deficiency. If Agent, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Agent shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Agent of cash therefor.

9.6 Agent’s and Lenders’ Liability for Collateral. So long as Agent and Lenders comply with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Agent and/or Lenders, Agent and Lenders shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.7 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Agent’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Agent or Lenders thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Agent and each Lender and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Agent has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Agent’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Agent’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

9.8 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Agent on which Borrower is liable.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, AGENT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH AGENT DEEMS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR TO OTHERWISE ENFORCE THE LENDERS’ OR AGENT’S RIGHTS AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY.

THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

12.3 Limitation of Actions. Any claim or cause of action by Borrower against Agent and/or any Lender, their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Agent and/or such Lender based upon, arising from, or relating to this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any other transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any other matter, cause or thing whatsoever, occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by Agent and/or any Lender, their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, shall be barred unless asserted by Borrower by the commencement of an action or proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction by (a) the filing of a complaint within one year from the earlier of (i) the date any of Borrower’s officer or directors had knowledge of the first act, the occurrence or omission upon which such claim or cause of action, or any part thereof, is based, or (ii) the date this Agreement is terminated, and (b) the service of a summons and complaint on an officer of Agent and/or Lenders, or on any other person authorized to accept service on behalf of Agent and/or Lenders, within thirty (30) days thereafter.

Borrower hereby grants to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders, and to each Leader, a lien, security interest and right of set off as security for all Obligations to Agent and each Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Agent or any entity under the control of Agent (including an Agent subsidiary) or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Agent or Lenders, as appropriate, may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations.
