PLEDGE AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.2

PLEDGE AGREEMENT

This Pledge Agreement dated as of October 31, 2005 is between ACT Teleconferencing, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Pledgor”), and Dolphin Direct Equity Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“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 Pledgor and 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.

Concurrently herewith, Pledgor and Secured Party are entering into the Loan Agreement pursuant to which Pledgor is requesting the Term Loan from Secured Party and Secured Party is making the Term Loan to Pledgor.

As a condition precedent to such Term Loan, Secured Party has required Pledgor to secure its obligations under the Loan Agreement by pledging the assets referred to herein.

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. Collateral.

(a) Pledgor hereby assigns and pledges to Secured Party for its benefit and the benefit of all other Lenders (as referred to in the Loan Agreement), if any, a security interest in and to all of Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to the following (the “Collateral”): (i) the shares of all capital stock, limited liability interests and other equivalent equity interests of the subsidiaries of Pledgor identified on Exhibit A (the “ACT Entities”), which shares and interests are also identified on Exhibit A (the “Shares”); (ii) all cash dividends, stock dividends, interests, profits, redemptions, warrants, subscription rights, stock, options, substitutions, exchanges and other distributions now or hereafter distributed by the ACT Entities in respect of or otherwise in connection with the Shares or that may hereafter be delivered to the possession of Pledgor or Secured Party in respect of or otherwise in connection with the Shares; (iii) Pledgor’s records with respect to the foregoing; and (iv) the proceeds of all of the foregoing.

(b) This Agreement secures the payment and performance of all obligations of Pledgor to the Secured Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, 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 Pledgor 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 Pledgor.

(c) Pledgor shall deliver to Secured Party or an authorized agent of Secured Party as directed by Secured Party (“Secured Party’s Agent”), all certificates representing the Shares together with stock powers endorsed in blank, and other instruments, documents and agreements as Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary to perfect any security interest granted or required to be granted under this Agreement promptly after Pledgor’s receipt thereof.

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, file termination statements with respect to all financing statements covering the Collateral and cause any Collateral in its possession to be returned to Pledgor, all at the cost and expense of Pledgor.

(c) Secured Party shall apply the proceeds of any sale of the whole or any part of the Collateral and any other monies at the time held by Secured Party under the provisions of this Agreement, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of collection, sale and delivery incurred by Secured Party in connection with such sale, towards the payment of the Secured Obligations.
