$6,666,666 in the aggregate)(the “Minimum Purchase Price”). Ninety percent (90%) of the
Minimum Purchase Price shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds, free of any
costs and charges, to the account or accounts designated by Seller in writing prior to the payment,
no later than three (3) Business Days following Closing, and the remaining ten percent (10%) of the
Minimum Purchase Price shall be payable as set forth in Section 4.4 below.

               (ii) In addition to the amounts payable by Purchaser to Seller under Section 3.1(b)(i), Seller
shall also be entitled, during the Earn-Out Period to receive thirty-five percent (35%) of
Purchaser’s Net Revenue recognized by Purchaser which is directly attributable to (x) the
Transferring Customers during such period and (y) any new customers introduced to Purchaser by an
Introducing Broker during such period (the “Minimum Earn-Out Payments”). Minimum Earn-Out
Payments shall be made on a monthly basis during the Earn-Out Period within thirty (30) days of the
end of each calendar month during the Earn-Out Period.

          (c) During the Earn-Out Period, Seller shall have the right to audit Purchasers’ records
regarding Purchaser’s Net Revenue directly attributable to the Transferring Customers upon thirty
(30) day written notice. Auditors chosen by Seller shall be pre-approved

- 8 -

 

by Purchaser (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and shall agree to a confidentiality agreement with
customary terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. The approval of such auditors
shall not be unreasonably withheld. If any audit is undertaken by Seller discloses a shortfall or
overpayment between the amounts due Seller and the amounts actually received by Seller, then
Purchaser shall promptly remit to Seller the amount of the shortfall or receive a credit for such
overpayment to any future amounts payable to Seller. In the event there remains a credit due to
Purchaser at the end of the Earn-Out Period, Seller shall remit payment in such amount within
thirty (30) days following the end of the Earn-Out Period. All fees and expenses related to any
audit shall be the sole responsibility of Seller. Seller shall be entitled to no more than two (2)
audits hereunder.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that in the event a Transferring Customer
terminates its customer arrangement with Purchaser as a result of a breach of Section 7.6, Section
7.7 or Section 7.8 below (the “Terminating Customer”), then Purchaser’s Earn-Out Payment
obligations or Minimum Earn-Out Payment obligations, as applicable, shall be reduced by an amount
equal to the amount of Net Revenue generated over the six-month period immediately preceding
termination of Terminating Customer’s customer arrangement with Purchaser.

          (e) In the event that any Retail Customers residing in Japan do not become Transferring
Customers as of the Closing but subsequently become customers of the Purchaser or its Affiliates on
or prior to November 16, 2010 (the “Added Japan Retail Customers”), (1) such Added Japan
Retail Customers shall count for purposes of determining the Transferring Customers’ Account
Balances and the calculations in Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(b) shall be recalculated in a manner
assuming that the Account Balances as calculated as of the actual date of assignment for the Added
Japan Retail Customers were treated as Transferring Customers’ Account Balances, and (2) Purchaser
shall pay to Seller pursuant to Section 4.4(e) below an amount equal to the difference, if any,
between the amount paid by Purchaser to Seller at Closing and the amount that would have been due
to Seller at Closing had such Transferring Customers’ Account Balances been included as of the
Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, the Added Japan Retail Customers shall be treated as having
been Transferring Customers as of the Closing for all purposes hereunder, including, for
calculating the Earn-Out Payments attributable to such Added Japan Retail Customers.

     Section 3.2. Interest. Any payments due under this Agreement shall bear interest from
the due date to the date of actual payment at the rate of 200 basis points over the U.S. dollar
prime rate per annum, as quoted by The Wall Street Journal two (2) Business Days prior to the
payment date.

contrary, (i) GAIN Capital, GAIN UK, and GAIN Japan (each, a “Purchaser Party” and,

obligations under this Article III) and (ii) CMS, CMS UK, CMS Bermuda and CMS Japan (each, a
“Seller Party” and, collectively, the “Seller Parties”) shall be jointly and

date, true and correct in all material respects as of such date), except where the failure of such
representations and warranties to be true and correct as so made (without giving effect to any
materiality qualification therein) does not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a
Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) Performance of Agreements. Purchaser shall have performed all obligations and
agreements contained in this Agreement required to be performed by them prior to or at the Closing
Date.

     Section 9.1. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated and the
transactions contemplated hereby abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

          (a) By either Purchaser or Seller, in the event that Purchaser rejects Retail Customers

the parties are unable to reach a mutual agreement on closing prior to 5:00 p.m. (eastern standard
time) on Thursday, October 7, 2010;

- 19 -

 

          (c) Upon written notice, by either Purchaser or Seller, if the Closing, with respect to
U.S. Transferring Customers, shall not have occurred by October 18, 2010 (the “Drop Dead
Date”); provided, however, that, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Drop
Dead Date due to a breach under or failure to make delivery contemplated by this Agreement by
Purchaser or Seller, the breaching party may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section
9.1(c); it being understood that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be deemed a breaching party
pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) as a result of any breach by such party that was remedied prior to
the Drop Dead Date and within the ten (10) day notice period referenced in Section 9.1(d) and
Section 9.1(e), as applicable.

          (d) By Purchaser, upon written notice to Seller, if Purchaser has previously provided Seller
written notice of any material inaccuracy in or material breach of any representation or warranty
contained in this Agreement such that the condition in Section 8.2(a) cannot be satisfied, or a
failure by Seller to perform or comply in any material respect with any covenant or obligation of
Seller contained in this Agreement required to be performed by them prior to or at the Closing
Date, and Seller has failed, within ten (10) days after the date of such notice, to remedy such
inaccuracy or to perform or comply with such covenant or obligation or provide reasonably adequate
assurance as to Seller’s ability to promptly remedy such inaccuracy or perform or comply with such
covenant, provided, however, that Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement
under this Section 9.1(d) if Purchaser is then in breach of this Agreement.

          (e) By Seller, upon written notice to Purchaser, if Seller has previously provided Purchaser
written notice of any material inaccuracy in or material breach of any representation or warranty
contained in this Agreement such that the condition in Section 8.3(a) cannot be satisfied, or a
failure by Purchaser to perform or comply in any material respect with any covenant or obligation
of Purchaser contained in this Agreement required to be performed by them prior to or at the
Closing Date, and Purchaser has failed, within ten (10) days after the date of such notice, to
remedy such inaccuracy or to perform or comply with such covenant or obligation or provide
reasonably adequate assurance as to Purchaser’s ability to promptly remedy such inaccuracy or
perform or comply with such covenant provided, however, that Seller shall not have the right to
terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(e) if Seller is then in breach of this Agreement.

     Section 9.2. Liabilities in Event of Termination. In the event of any termination of
the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other
party specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which any such termination is made. In such
event, this Agreement shall become wholly void and of no further force and effect.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

     Section 10.1. Survival and Remedies. All representations and warranties of each of the
parties hereto contained in this Agreement, including all statements contained in any bring-down,
Closing or similar certificate delivered pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to be representations and
warranties within the meaning of this ARTICLE X, as the case may be, and shall survive the

- 20 -

 

Closing until the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, except as to any
matters with respect to which a bona fide written claim shall have been made or action at law or in
equity shall have been commenced before such date, in which event survival shall continue until
such claim shall have been finally resolved. The representations and warranties made in Section
5.1, Section 5.2, Section 5.5, Section 6.1, Section 6.2 and Section 6.5 shall survive in
perpetuity. In the event of a breach of any of such representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements, the party to whom such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement has been made
shall have all rights and remedies for such breach available to it under the provisions of this
Agreement, or otherwise, whether of law or in equity, regardless of any disclosure to, or
investigation made by or on behalf of such party on or before the Closing Date. Claims for
indemnification under this ARTICLE X are the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties in connection
with this Agreement for any and all loss, damage, expense (including court costs, amounts paid in
settlement, judgments, attorneys’ fees and other expenses for investigating and defending), claim,
deficiency, and liability, except with respect to claims (i) for equitable relief pursuant to
Section 7.6, Section 7.7 and Section 7.8, (ii) based upon any fraud committed by any party hereto
in connection herewith and/or (iii) based upon any intentional breach by Seller of its obligations
under Section 11.1 below.

     Section 10.2. Indemnification.

          (a) The Seller shall, to the extent not covered and promptly paid by applicable insurance,
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its past, present and future directors, officers,
employees, agents, subsidiaries and Affiliates, for any and all loss, damage (other than
consequential, punitive or special damages), expense (including court costs, amounts paid in
settlement, judgments, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable expenses for investigating
and defending), claim, deficiency, liability or obligation related to, resulting from, caused by or
arising from: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Seller
(without regard to any materiality qualifiers set forth in such representation or warranty) herein
or in any related agreement, Closing or similar certificate delivered by the Seller pursuant hereto
(so long as only one claim may be made for the same inaccuracy or breach), (ii) any failure to
perform or breach by the Seller of any covenant or agreement made by the Seller herein, (iii) any
liability, claim or complaint arising out of the ownership or use or operation of the Purchased
Assets prior to the Closing, and (iv) any and all taxes imposed on the Seller with respect to all
taxable periods, whether ending prior to or subsequent to the Closing Date.

          (b) The Purchaser shall, to the extent not covered and promptly paid by applicable insurance,
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its past, present and future directors, officers,
employees, agents, subsidiaries and Affiliates, for any and all loss, damage (other than
consequential, punitive or special damages), expense (including court costs, amounts paid in
settlement, judgments, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable expenses for investigating
and defending), claim, deficiency, liability or obligation related to, resulting from, caused by or
arising from: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Purchaser herein or in any related agreement, Closing or similar certificate delivered by the
Purchaser pursuant hereto (so long as only one claim may be made for the same inaccuracy or breach)
and (ii) any failure to perform or breach by the Purchaser of any covenant or agreement made by the
Purchaser herein.

- 21 -

 

          (c) The aggregate indemnification obligation of each of the Purchaser Parties, on the one
hand, and the Seller Parties, on the other hand, under this ARTICLE X shall in no event exceed the
greater of (i) $1,000,000 and (ii) an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the sum of the Purchase
Price and all Earn-Out Payments, provided that the Purchaser Parties’ obligations to pay the
Purchase Price and all other payments and consideration payable by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to
Sections 3 or 4 shall not be so limited or taken into account for such limitations. All
indemnification payments payable hereunder shall be reduced by the net amount of any insurance
proceeds or tax benefit actually received by an indemnitee as a result of the losses for which the
indemnitee is seeking indemnification.

          (d) All indemnification payments made pursuant to this ARTICLE X shall be considered
adjustments to the Purchase Price or Minimum Purchase Price, as applicable, for tax purposes.

     Section 10.3. Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims.

          (a) In the event that subsequent to the Closing an indemnified party asserts a claim for
indemnification or receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any
action by any entity which is not a party to this Agreement (including any Governmental Entity) (a
“Third Party Claim”) against such indemnified party, with respect to which a party is
required to provide indemnification under this Agreement, such indemnified party shall give written
notice together with a statement of any available information regarding such claim (the “Notice
of Claim”) to the indemnifying party promptly after learning of such claim. Provided that the
indemnifying party (i) agrees in writing to its indemnity obligations hereunder for all damages or
claims in connection with such matter and (ii) has sufficient financial resources to pay any
reasonably possible damages, expenses or other costs in connection therewith (as determined in the
reasonable discretion of indemnified party), the indemnifying party shall have the right, upon
written notice to indemnified party (the “Defense Notice”) promptly after receipt from the
indemnified party of the Notice of Claim, to conduct at its expense the defense against such claim
in its own name, or, if necessary, in the name of the indemnified party; provided, however, that
the indemnified party shall have the right to approve the defense counsel representing the
indemnifying party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnifying party shall
not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim for which it has assumed the defense pursuant to
this Section 10.3(a) without the indemnified party’s prior written consent thereto (which shall not
be unreasonably withheld), unless the terms of such settlement or compromise discharge and release
the indemnified party from all liabilities and obligations thereunder and do not involve a remedy
other than the payment of money by the indemnifying party.

          (b) In the event that an indemnifying party shall fail to give the Defense Notice within the
time and as prescribed by Section 10.3(a), or if such claim involves a claim for injunctive or
other equitable relief, then in any such event the indemnified party shall have the right to
conduct such defense, at the indemnifying party’s expense, in good faith with counsel reasonably
acceptable to the indemnified party, but the indemnified party shall be prohibited from
compromising or settling the claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the indemnified party conducts
the defense pursuant to this Section 10.3(b), the indemnifying party

- 22 -

 

will, at its expense, make available to the indemnified party such assistance and materials as
the indemnified party may reasonably request. The indemnifying party may participate in such
defense at its own expense.

          (c) In the event that the indemnifying party does deliver a Defense Notice and thereby elects
to conduct the defense of the subject Third Party Claim, the indemnified party will cooperate with
and make available to the indemnifying party such assistance and materials as it may reasonably
request, all at the expense of the indemnifying party. Regardless of which party defends such
claim, the other party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted
by counsel of its own choosing. Notwithstanding the foregoing and in the event that the
indemnifying party delivers a Defense Notice and thereby elects to conduct the defense of the
subject Third Party Claim but does not proceed diligently to defend or settle such Third Party
Claim within a reasonable time after its receipt of notice of the assertion or commencement
thereof, then the indemnified party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake at
the expense of the indemnifying party the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim for the
account and at the risk of the indemnifying party.

          (d) Any judgment entered or settlement agreed upon in the manner provided herein shall be
binding upon the indemnifying party, and shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation with
respect to which the indemnified party is entitled to prompt indemnification hereunder, subject to
the indemnifying party’s right to appeal an appealable judgment or order.

     Section 10.4. Failure to Give Timely Notice. A failure by the indemnified party to
give timely, complete or accurate notice as provided in this ARTICLE X will not affect the rights
or obligations of any party hereunder except and only to the extent that, as a result of such
failure, any party entitled to receive such notice was actually damaged as a result of such failure
to give timely notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that
nothing in this Section 10.4 shall be deemed to extend any of the time periods set forth in Section
10.1 with respect to the survival of representations and warranties.

ARTICLE XI

other than Purchaser relating to the sale of the Purchased Assets, (y) not accept any unsolicited
bids or offers, and (z) promptly notify the Purchaser of any inquiries, bids or offers by any third

written notice to the other party. Rejection, any refusal to accept or the inability to deliver
because of changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice
as of the date of such rejection, refusal or inability to deliver.

     Section 11.5. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted, and
the rights of the parties shall be determined, in accordance with the substantive laws of the State
of New York, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof or of any other jurisdiction.

     Section 11.6. Entire Agreement: Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written, of the
parties, including any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements. Except as set forth herein or
in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto, no party (or any employee or agent thereof) makes any
representation or warranty, express or implied, to any other party with respect to this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby. No supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, any schedule hereto) shall be binding unless the same is executed
in writing by the party to be bound. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), and no
such waiver shall constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

     Section 11.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Agreement by telecopy shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of

- 25 -

 

this Agreement. In proving this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account
for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

     Section 11.8. Invalidity. In the event that any provisions of this Agreement would be
held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction for any
reason (including, but not limited to, any provisions which would be held to be unenforceable
because of the scope, duration or area of its applicability), unless narrowed by construction, this
Agreement shall, as to such jurisdiction only, be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or
unenforceable provision had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or
unenforceable (or if such language cannot be drawn narrowly enough, the court making any such
determination shall have the power to modify such scope, duration or area or all of them, but only
to the extent necessary to make such provision or provisions enforceable in such jurisdiction, and
such provision shall then be applicable in such modified form in such jurisdiction only). If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement would be held to be invalid,
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent
of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability, without invalidating the remaining provisions
of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

     Section 11.9. Headings. The table of contents and the headings of the Articles and
Sections herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part
of, or to affect the meaning or interpretation of, this Agreement.

     Section 11.10. Jurisdiction. Subject to the following proviso, the parties hereto
irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in the
Borough of Manhattan, City of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern
District of the State of New York for the purpose of any claims or disputes which may arise or
result from, or be connected with, this Agreement, any breach or default hereunder, or the
transactions contemplated hereby and (a) hereby irrevocably agree that any and all claims, actions,
causes of action, suits and proceedings related to the foregoing may be heard and determined in any
such court, and (b) hereby waive, and agree not to assert in any such claim, action, cause of
action, suit or proceeding, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
claim that (i) the parties are not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court or (ii)
any such claim, action, cause of action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum.

     Section 11.11. Specific Performance. The parties hereto each acknowledge that the
other parties hereto may be irreparably damaged in the event any of the provisions of this
Agreement are not performed by the parties hereto in accordance with their specific terms or are
otherwise breached by the parties hereto. Accordingly, any party hereto shall be entitled to an
injunction or injunctions (without the posting of any bond and without proving actual damages) to
prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by the other parties hereto and to
specifically enforce this Agreement and the terms and provisions thereof in any action instituted
in any court of the United States or any state thereof having subject matter jurisdiction, in
addition to any other remedy to which the parties hereto may be entitled, at law, in equity or
pursuant to this Agreement.

- 26 -

 

     Section 11.12. Seller’s Other Business. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the transactions
contemplated hereunder are not intended to pertain to or restrict any past, present or future
non-retail foreign exchange trading business of Seller and/or its Affiliates and that, for the
avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be deemed in any way to restrict Seller and/or its
Affiliates from providing technology services other than in connection with VT TraderTM
or institutional liquidity services to foreign exchange businesses.

     Section 11.13. Counting. If the due date for any action to be taken under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, the delivery of notices) is not a Business Day, then such
action shall be considered timely taken if performed on or prior to the next Business Day following
such due date.

     Section 11.14. Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules attached to,
delivered with and identified to this Agreement are a part of this Agreement the same as if fully
set forth herein and all references herein to any Section of this Agreement shall be deemed to
include a reference to any Schedule named therein.

     Section 11.15. Interpretation.

          (a) Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement they
shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

          (b) Words denoting any gender shall include all genders. Where a word or phrase is defined
herein, each of its other grammatical forms shall have a corresponding meaning.

          (c) A reference to any party to this Agreement or any other agreement or document shall
include such party’s successors and permitted assigns.

          (d) A reference to any legislation or to any provision of any legislation shall include any
modification or re-enactment thereof, any legislative provision substituted therefor and all
regulations and statutory instruments issued thereunder or pursuant thereto.

          (e) All references to “$” and dollars shall be deemed to refer to United States currency

     Section 11.16. Preparation of this Agreement. Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge
that (i) Purchaser and Seller have been adequately represented and advised by legal counsel with
respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) no presumption shall
be made that any provision of this Agreement shall be construed against either party by reason of
such role in the drafting of this Agreement and any other agreement contemplated hereby.
