Security Agreement

 Exhibit 10.3 
  
 SECURITY AGREEMENT 
  
 This Security Agreement dated as of July 15, 2005 is among ACT Teleconferencing, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Borrower”),
subsidiaries of the Borrower set forth on the signature pages hereto (together with the Borrower, collectively, the “Debtors” and each a “Debtor”) and Dolphin Direct Equity Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the
“Secured Party”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Loan Agreement dated as of date hereof (as it may be amended or otherwise modified, the “Loan
Agreement”) between the Debtors and the Secured Party, and if not so assigned, in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York (the “State”). 
  
 As a condition precedent to the making of the Term Loan, Secured Party has
required Borrower to secure its obligations to it by granting and causing to be granted the security interests referred to herein. 
  
 The Debtors, other than the Borrower, are subsidiaries of the Borrower and will derive substantial benefits from the making of the Term Loan to the
Borrower. 
  
 Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 
  
 1. Grant of Security Interest; Authorization to File Financing Statements; Other Actions. 
  
 1.1 Security Interest. Each Debtor hereby assigns and pledges to
Secured Party for its benefit and the benefit of all other Lenders, if any, a security interest in and to all of Debtor’s right, title and interest in and to the following, whether now or hereafter existing or acquired (the
“Collateral”): All personal property and fixtures of every kind and nature, including, without limitation all goods (including, without limitation, all inventory, equipment and any accessions and additions thereto);
instruments (including, without limitation, all promissory notes); documents; accounts (including, without limitation, all accounts receivables); chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic); deposit accounts; letter-of-credit rights (whether or
not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing); commercial tort claims; securities and all other investment property; supporting obligations, any other contract rights or rights to the payment of money, insurance claims and proceeds; and all
general intangibles (including, without limitation, all payment intangibles); and all proceeds of the foregoing. This agreement secures the payment and performance of all obligations of Borrower to the Secured Party and the other Lenders, if any,
and each Debtor, now or hereafter existing under this agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Note, and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), whether for principal, interest, costs, expenses, indemnities or
otherwise (all of such obligations being the “Secured Obligations”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this agreement secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations and
would be owed by any Debtor under any Transaction Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any Debtor. 

 1.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes
Secured Party at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements, mortgages and similar instruments, and amendments thereto, that: (a) indicate the Collateral:
(i) as defined above, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or such jurisdiction; or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with
greater detail; and (b) provide any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, or other authority, of the State, or such other jurisdiction, for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing
statement and similar instruments, or amendment, including: (i) whether such Debtor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Debtor; and (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed
as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates. 
  
 Each Debtor agrees to furnish any such information to Secured Party promptly upon Secured Party’s request. Each Debtor also ratifies its
authorization for Secured Party to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements, mortgages and similar instruments, or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. 
  
 1.3 Other Actions. Each Debtor agrees, at the request and
option of Secured Party, to take any and all other actions Secured Party may determine to be necessary or useful for the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of Secured Party to enforce, Secured Party’s security interest in
any and all of the Collateral, including, without limitation: 
  
 (a) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements, mortgages and amendments relating thereto under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, to the extent, if any, that Borrower’s signature thereon is
required therefor; 
  
 (b) causing Secured Party’s name to
be noted as lien holder on any certificate of title for a titled good or real property if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Secured Party to enforce, Secured Party’s security interest in such
Collateral; 
  
 (c) complying with any provision of any statute,
regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Secured Party to enforce, Secured Party’s security interest in such
Collateral; 
  
 (d) obtaining governmental and other third party
waivers, consents and approvals in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party, including, without limitation, any consent of any licenser, lessor or other person obligated on Collateral; 
  
 (e) obtaining waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance
satisfactory to Secured Party; and 
  

 -2- 

 (f) taking all actions under any earlier versions of the Uniform Commercial Code or under any other law,
as reasonably determined by Secured Party to be applicable in any relevant Uniform Commercial Code or other jurisdiction, including any foreign jurisdiction. 
  
 2. Release Upon Termination and Payment of All Indebtedness. Upon payment in full of all indebtedness and the satisfaction of all of the Secured
Obligations, Secured Party shall release the security interest in the Collateral and file termination statements with respect to all financing statements or mortgages covering the Collateral all at the costs and expense of the Debtors. 

 
 3. Representations and Warranties. Each Debtor represents and
warrants that: 
  
 3.1 Organization; Name; Organizational
Identification Number. Each Debtor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization as set forth below its signature hereto. Each Debtor is qualified or licensed to conduct
its business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of its activities or the character of the properties utilized in its business make such qualification or licensing necessary. Each Debtor’s correct legal name is set
forth above its signature hereto. Each Debtor’s correct organizational identification number issued by the relevant authority of such Debtor’s jurisdiction of organization and the location of its chief executive office now and for the past
five years is set forth below its signature hereto. 
  
 3.2
Power and Authority; Authorization; Enforceability; No Conflicts; Etc. 
  
 (a) Each Debtor has full corporate power and authority to own its assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to execute and deliver this agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. 
  
 (b) The execution, delivery and performance by each Debtor of this agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by such Debtor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite action of Borrower. 
  
 (c) This agreement and the Loan Agreement have been duly and validly executed and delivered by each Debtor and constitute
the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Debtor, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms. 
  
 (d) The execution and delivery by each Debtor of this agreement and the Loan Agreement, the performance by such Debtor of its obligations hereunder and
thereunder and the consummation by such Debtor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not: 
  
 (i) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of such Debtor;

  

 -3- 

 (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or
lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, amendment, cancellation or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any oral or written agreement, instrument, contract, undertaking, mortgage,
indenture, lease, license or other understanding to which such Debtor is a party or by which any of the properties or assets of such Debtor may be bound or otherwise subject; or 
  
 (iii) contravene or violate any law applicable to any Debtor or any of its properties or assets.

  
 (e) No consent of any governmental entity or other third
party is required to be made or obtained by any Debtor in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Debtors of this agreement or the Loan Agreement or the consummation by the Debtors of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby. 
  
 3.3 Title to Collateral. Each Debtor has
good, indefeasible and merchantable title to and ownership of the Collateral. 
  
 3.4 Security Interest . The security interest granted by each Debtor to Secured Party in the Collateral constitutes a valid and enforceable Lien and first priority security interest in the Collateral, except
that such security interest shall be second in such priority only to the security interests securing the Existing Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 4. Covenants of the Debtors. Each Debtor covenants that: 
  

4.1 Preservation of Existence. Except as expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Loan Agreement, each Debtor will (a) preserve and
maintain its existence in its jurisdiction of organization and (b) preserve and maintain its existence and good standing in each other state where it conducts business. Each Debtor will not change its name or do business under any other name
without, in each case, giving Secured Party at least 30 days prior written notice thereof. 
  
 4.2 Insurance. Each Debtor will, at its own expense, keep or cause third parties to keep all of the Collateral insured to the full replacement value thereof against all risks of loss and damage by policies of
insurance issued by companies approved by Secured Party. Each Debtor shall cause the policies evidencing such insurance to be duly endorsed in favor of Secured Party with such loss payable rider as Secured Party may designate and evidence of such
endorsement shall be delivered to Secured Party, which shall provide for at least 30 days prior written notice to Secured Party of the exercise of any right of cancellation or reduction of coverage and right to cure monetary defaults. Should any
Debtor fail to furnish Secured Party with such insurance coverage, Secured Party shall have the right to effect same and charge the cost thereof to the Debtors. Such cost shall be additional Secured Obligations hereunder and secured by the
Collateral. Secured Party’s sole obligation hereunder shall be to credit the Debtors’ account with the net proceeds of any insurance payments received on account of any loss and Secured Party shall have no liability with respect to any
loss. Each Debtor hereby appoints Secured Party as its attorney in-fact to adjust all insurance claims and endorse all checks and drafts in settlement thereof. 
  

 -4- 

 4.3 Personal Property. With respect to each Debtor, the Collateral is and shall remain personal
property at all times regardless of how attached or installed at or to the locations set forth on Schedule A, under such Debtor’s name, free and clear of all Liens other than (i) those in favor of Secured Party pursuant to the Transaction
Documents, (ii) Liens securing the Existing Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the Senior Credit Agreement as of the date hereof or any agreement evidencing a refinancing of the Existing Senior Indebtedness permitted pursuant to the Transaction
Documents, (iii) Permitted Encumbrances, (iv) Liens for current taxes not yet due, and (v) minor imperfections of title, if any, not material in amount and not materially detracting from the value or impairing the use of the property subject thereto
or impairing the operations of the Company or any Subsidiary. 
  
 4.4 Inspection. Subject to the right of each of the parties in possession of the Collateral, each Debtor will permit Secured Party, its officers, employees and/or agents, at all times, during normal business hours to enter into and
upon any premises where the Collateral is located for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral and all records related thereto (and to make extracts from such records), observing the Collateral’s use or otherwise protecting the interests of
Secured Party therein. 
  
 4.5 Maintenance of Collateral.
Each Debtor will maintain the Collateral in good condition and repair (normal wear and tear excepted) and pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, when due, the cost of repairs or maintenance, and pay or cause to be paid all rent due
on the premises where any Collateral is or may be held. 
  
 4.6
Landlord and Mortgagee Waivers. If requested by Secured Party, each Debtor shall use its best efforts to obtain and deliver to Secured Party any and all landlord’s and mortgagee’s waivers, estoppel certificates and other similar
documents to confirm, among other things, that the Collateral shall remain personal property and that such persons have no interest in the Collateral. 
  
 4.7 Location of Collateral. Each Debtor warrants and covenants that it keeps and will (unless prior written notice of any new location is given to
secured party) keep the Collateral at the locations set forth under its name on Schedule A hereto. 
  
 4.8 Income on Collateral. So long as no Event of Default exists, each Debtor may invoice and receive payment of any and all income or other
revenue from the Collateral. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Debtor shall take such action as Secured Party may, subject to the rights of the holder of the Existing Senior Indebtedness (the “Senior Lender”) pursuant to any
subordination or similar agreement then in effect between the Senior Lender and Secured Party (the “Subordination Agreement”), request so that all such income and revenue is paid directly to Secured Party and if such Debtor receives any
such income or revenue, it shall hold the same in trust for Secured Party and shall, subject to the rights of the Senior Lender pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, promptly pay such income and revenue to Secured Party or as Secured Party may
request.

objection to venue in the County of New York), and agrees that service of any summons, complaint, notice or other process relating to such dispute may be effected in the manner provided by Section 7.2.

particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively, and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely), only by a writing signed by the party for whose benefit such term is to be performed. Any agreement on the part of a party to any
extension or waiver shall only be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Any such waiver or extension shall not operate as waiver or extension of any other subsequent condition or obligation. 
  
 7.12 Severability. If any provision of this agreement is found to be
void or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this agreement shall nevertheless be binding upon the parties with the same force and effect as though the unenforceable part had been severed and deleted.

payments made on account of the principal amount thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender and, prior to any transfer hereof, endorsed on the grid attached hereto which is part of this Term Promissory Note, provided that the failure to so
record any such Term Loan or any payment on account thereof shall not affect the payment obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Loan Agreement. 
  
 This Term Promissory Note is the promissory note referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Loan Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2005 (as
amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), between the Borrower and the Lender. The Loan Agreement, among other things, (a) provides for the making of Term Loan by the Lender to the

prepayments on account of principal hereof prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions therein specified.  
  
 The Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights hereunder
on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such rights. 

 This Term Promissory Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State
of New York. The Borrower (i) irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court sitting in New York City in any action arising out of this Term Promissory Note, (ii) agrees that all claims in such
action may be decided in such court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum and (iv) consents to the service of process by mail. A final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and
may be enforced in other jurisdictions. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any manner permitted by law or affect its right to bring any action in any other court.
