4.All other terms and conditions of the Management Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
5.The execution of this Agreement by the Manager shall serve as prior written consent to amend the Management Agreement by FXCM Holdings, LLC in its capacity as a member of the Company pursuant to Section 12.1(a) of the Company’s Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and supplemented as of the date hereof.
