Any Dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the London court of International Arbitration (LCIA) Rules (the "Rules"), which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause.

21.2 For the purposes of Article 8.1 of the Rules the parties hereto agree that the FXCM Parties, on the one hand, and the Minority Shareholders, on the other hand, represent two separate sides for the formation of the arbitral tribunal as Claimant and Respondent respectively (or vice versa). Accordingly, the FXCM Parties shall jointly nominate one (1) arbitrator and the Minority Shareholders shall nominate one (1) arbitrator, respectively. The third arbitrator, who shall act as the chairman of the tribunal, shall be nominated by agreement of the two party-appointed arbitrators within fourteen (14) days of the confirmation of the appointment of the second arbitrator, or in default of such agreement, appointed by the LCIA.

21.3 The arbitration proceedings shall take place in London, and the language of the arbitration proceedings shall be English.

14

21.4 The Parties agree that, in order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related Disputes and upon the request of any party to an arbitration pursuant to this Clause 21, the arbitral tribunal may, within 90 days of its appointment, consolidate the arbitration with any other arbitration or proposed arbitration involving any of the parties and relating to this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document as between or among the parties hereto or thereto. The arbitrations may be consolidated, or heard concurrently, in such manner as the arbitral tribunal determines in its discretion, save that the arbitral tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (a) there are issues of fact or law common to the arbitrations in question so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (b) no party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay. Where different tribunals have been or are in the process of being appointed in relation to such arbitrations, the decision as to whether the arbitrations are to be consolidated or heard concurrently by the same tribunal shall be made by the arbitral tribunal which was first constituted, and if consolidation is so ordered the parties agree that the consolidated arbitration shall be heard and finally decided by the arbitral tribunal which ordered the consolidation, unless a party to such arbitration objects, in which case a new arbitral tribunal shall be appointed by the LCIA Court in accordance with the Rules.

6.2 Each Member:

6.2.2 will, on receipt of a written request by the LLP and at the LLP’s reasonable expense and subject to the Specified Member’s rights under clause 6.1.2, enter into a separate confirmatory assignment with the LLP, or an Affiliate, to formally record that the Member’s rights, title, benefit and interest in and to the Member Idea Products made or developed by him have been assigned to the LLP or an Affiliate and will provide all reasonable assistance to the LLP or any Affiliate to protect, maintain and enforce such rights anywhere in the world;

6.2.4 hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives in favour of the LLP, or any relevant Affiliate as the case may be, the moral rights in any Member Idea Product conferred on them by virtue of the Copyright Designs and Patents Xxx 0000 or any analogous or similar laws anywhere in the world.

In order to give effect to this clause 6.6, in consideration of the payments made to the Member under this Deed the Member hereby assigns, and shall procure that his respective Member Agent(s) assign, to the LLP (by way of present assignment of future rights) with full title guarantee all of its rights, title, benefit and interest in and to the Relevant Intellectual Property created or discovered by him. For the avoidance of doubt this clause 6.6 does not affect any rights of a Member, who is also an employee of the LLP, under the Patents Xxx 0000.

6.7 To the extent that the legal title in any Relevant Intellectual Property fails to vest in the LLP, the relevant Member agrees to hold, and, if relevant, procure that its respective Member Agent(s) and director(s) hold, such rights on trust for the LLP. Each Member further agrees to use his reasonable endeavours to do all such acts and execute all such documents as may be reasonably required of him by the LLP (the LLP paying any reasonable expenses incurred by doing so) in order to assign the Relevant Intellectual Property to the LLP and any Affiliate.

6.8 If requested by the LLP (and at its reasonable expense), each Member shall give all necessary assistance to the LLP or an Affiliate to enable it to enforce the Relevant Intellectual Property against third parties and apply for registration of the rights, where appropriate throughout the world, for the full term of those rights.

“Second Restricted Territory” means anywhere in the United Kingdom, New York, Singapore, Tokyo, Germany, France, Italy, elsewhere in the European Union and the United States of America.

22.2 An Outgoing Member agrees that they will not, and will procure that their Member Agent(s) and directors will not, during the Restricted Period, whether directly or indirectly and whether on their own behalf or for any other person, firm, company or other organisation, in order to compete or to try to compete with the Existing Business or the New Business:

22.2.1 work anywhere in the First Restricted Territory, in any capacity for such person, firm, company or other organisation in the same or any other role which would materially assist such person, firm, company or other organisation to so compete, provided that as at the Relevant Date the relevant competitor is still in competition with the LLP or any Relevant Affiliate in relation to the Existing Business and/or New Business;

22.2.2 work anywhere in the Second Restricted Territory, in any capacity for such person, firm, company or other organisation in the same or any other role which would materially assist such person, firm, company or other organisation to so compete, provided that as at the Relevant Date the relevant competitor is still in competition with the LLP or any Relevant Affiliate in relation to the Existing Business and/or New Business;

22.3 The LLP and the Outgoing Member acknowledge that the duration, extent and application of each of the restrictions contained in each part of sub-clause 22.2 is reasonable, and is no greater than is necessary to protect the goodwill, trade secrets, trade connections and confidential information of the LLP and any Relevant Affiliate for whom the Outgoing Member has carried out duties.

22.4 Each of the covenants and obligations set out in each part of this clause 22 shall be deemed to be separate and severable and enforceable by the LLP accordingly. In the event that any of the restrictions shall be held void, but would be enforceable if part of the wording was deleted, the parties agree that such restriction shall apply with such deletion as may be necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

22.5 The Outgoing Member will provide any prospective company, firm, business or partnership with whom they have discussions concerning future work in any capacity during the Restricted Period, with a copy of the restrictions set out in this clause 22.

22.6 Nothing in this clause 22 shall prevent the Outgoing Member from holding shares or securities in any company which is quoted listed or otherwise dealt in on any recognized investment exchange or securities market, provided that any such holding shall not exceed 5% of the total shares or other securities in such company.

22.7 Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that the LLP or the Outgoing Member may have, the LLP and the Outgoing Member acknowledge and agree that damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this clause 22 and the remedies of injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief are appropriate for any threatened or actual breach of any such provision.

29.1 If any Member wishes to raise a grievance in relation to his membership he should notify the Board of Directors in writing.

29.2 Subject to the right of the parties in clauses 14.2 and 22.7 to apply for the remedies of injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as set out in those clauses, if any dispute arises in connection with this Deed, the relevant Members involved in the dispute will, within 10 days of a written request from any Member(s) also involved in the dispute, meet with the Board of Directors in good faith to resolve the dispute.

29.3 If the dispute is not resolved at the meeting referred to in clause 29.1, and subject to the rights of the parties in clauses 14.2 and 22.7, such dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration, which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause.

The arbitrations may be consolidated, or heard concurrently, in such manner as the arbitral tribunal determines in its discretion, save that the arbitral tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (a) there are issues of fact or law common to the arbitrations in question so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (b) no party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay. Where different tribunals have been or are in the process of being appointed in relation to such arbitrations, the decision as to whether the arbitrations are to be consolidated or heard concurrently by the same tribunal shall be made by the arbitral tribunal which was first constituted, and if consolidation is so ordered the parties agree that the consolidated arbitration shall be heard and finally decided by the arbitral tribunal which ordered the consolidation, unless a party to such arbitration objects, in which case a new arbitral tribunal shall be appointed by the LCIA Court in accordance with the Rules.

This deed has been entered into on the date stated at the beginning of it.

The LLP shall, following the end of each calendar month, prepare a Profit Share Account in respect of the period (i) from the date of this Deed until the last date of the month during which this Deed came into force (with respect to the first Profit Share Account) or (ii) from the first date of each calendar month until the last day of such calendar month (with respect to any other Profit Share Account). Each Profit Share Account shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions of this Part 1 of Schedule 2 and shall be delivered to all Members and the Board of Directors as soon as practicable following (and in any event within 60 Business Days of) the end of the relevant calendar month.

2. If within 20 Business Days following the delivery of a Profit Share Account to the Board of Directors, no member of the Board of Directors has given written notice to the LLP or the remainder of the Board of Directors of his objection to the Profit Share Account (which notice shall state in reasonable details the basis of the objection) then a Profit Share Account shall be binding and conclusive on the LLP and the Members.

3. If a member of the Board Directors gives the LLP or the remainder of the Board of Directors written notice of his objection to a Profit Share Account within 20 Business Days following delivery of a Profit Share Account to the Members and if the Board of Directors fails to agree on the issues outstanding with respect to the determination of a Profit Share Account within 15 Business Days after receipt of the notice of objection, the Board of Directors may at any time after that date refer the matter or matters in dispute to such independent firm of chartered accountants as they shall agree or, in default of agreement within 10 Business Days of any proposal for the appointment of such accountants, as shall be appointed by the President for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales on the application of a member of the Board of Directors.

4. The independent firm of chartered accountants referred to in paragraph 3 shall determine the matter or matters in dispute acting as experts not as arbitrators and their decision shall be final and binding. Such independent firm of chartered accountants shall be instructed to deliver their determination in writing, as soon as practicable, to the Board of Directors. The fees of such independent firm of chartered accountants shall, unless determined otherwise by the independent firm of chartered accountants, be borne by the LLP.

5. The Board of Directors shall instruct any independent firm of chartered accountants appointed under paragraph 3 to determine only the particular aspect of the preparation of a Profit Share Account in dispute and, accordingly, such accountants shall not determine or adjust any other matter or have regard to any fact not directly relating to the matter in dispute.

Part 2
Division of Income Profits

1. Within 10 Business Days of each Profit Share Account being agreed or determined in accordance with Part 1 of this Schedule, the LLP shall divide the Income Profits for the period for which the Profit Share Account was prepared as follows:

1.1 the Ordinary Members Percentage shall be allocated to the Ordinary Members; and

1.2 the remainder shall be allocated to the Corporate Member.

For these purposes “Ordinary Members Percentage” means the percentage of the Income Profits which are to be divided amongst the Ordinary Members as determined by the Board of Directors in its absolute discretion, provided that such percentage shall not exceed fifty per cent (50%) of the Income Profits.

2. Subject to paragraph 3 below, the Income Profits allocated to the Ordinary Members pursuant to paragraph 1.1 above, shall be applied in the following order of priority:

2.1 first, in paying to each applicable Ordinary Member, his Base Amount for that period and if there is a shortfall, the profits shall be divided among the applicable Ordinary Members in proportion to each such Ordinary Member’s Base Amount;

2.2 second, in paying to each applicable Ordinary Member, his Trading Cash Amount for that period and if there is a shortfall, the profits shall be divided among the applicable Members in proportion to each such Ordinary Member’s Trading Cash Amount for that financial year; and

2.3 third (but subject to paragraphs 5 and 6 of this Part 2), in paying (or procuring payment) to each applicable Ordinary Member or Outgoing Member his Silo Amount for that period, and if there is a shortfall the profits shall be divided among the applicable Ordinary Members and any applicable Outgoing Members in proportion to each such Ordinary Member’s or Outgoing Member’s Silo Amount for that financial year; and

2.4 fourth (but subject to paragraph 5 of this Part 2), the remaining balance shall be divided as the Board of Directors shall determine from time to time in its absolute discretion.

3. If any of the Base Amount, Trading Cash Amount or Silo Amount for any Ordinary Member is less than zero then the Income Profits allocable to that Ordinary Member in respect of paragraphs 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 shall be the net total of such Base Amount, Trading Cash Amount and Silo Amount provided that the amount so allocated will never be less than zero.

4. Following any Sale, the LLP shall pay (or procure payment to) each applicable Ordinary Member and any applicable Outgoing Member his Sale Amount following any division or payment pursuant to paragraph 1 above.

5. Subject to the order of priority set out in paragraphs 2 to 4 above, each Ordinary Member’s (or, where applicable, Outgoing Member’s) entitlement to the profits of the LLP (including his entitlement to any Base Amount, Trading Cash Amount and/or Silo Amount) [or to any Sale Amount] is as set out in (and, for the purposes of this paragraph 5, such terms are as defined in) that Ordinary Member’s Offer Letter and such amounts shall be paid to that Ordinary Member in accordance with his Offer Letter.

6. The Members agree that a proportion of the profits remaining (if any) after the allocation of the amounts to the Corporate Member pursuant to paragraphs 1.1 and 1.2 above and of the Base Amount and Trading Cash Amount due to each Ordinary Member in accordance with paragraph 2 above (such proportion as determined by the Board of Directors in its absolute discretion), in respect of any financial year may be retained by the LLP as working capital.

Part 3
Drawings

1. On the 25th day of the each month or the next Business Day where that date is not a Business Day (or such other day as the Designated Members shall determine), each Ordinary Member may draw on account of his Base Amount, such sum as the Board of Directors may determine in accordance with that Member’s Offer Letter and paragraph 1 of Part 2 of Schedule 2 (the “Monthly Drawings”).

2. The Corporate Member may draw on account of its profit entitlements, such sums and at such time as the Board of Directors may determine.

3. If any Member withdraws funds in excess of his or its agreed profit share (pursuant to this Schedule 2) for an accounting year, that Member shall repay the excess drawings to the LLP immediately.
