December 28, 2012

Rocky Hill, CT

FOR   VALUE   RECEIVED,   the   undersigned   IGXGLOBAL,   CORP.,   a   Delaware

corporation  (“Purchaser”),  promises  to  pay  to  the  order  of  THOMAS  DUFFY  (“Shareholder”),

the   principal   sum   of   One   Million   and   No/100   Dollars   ($1,000,000.00)   (the   “Principal”).

Capitalized terms used by not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them

in  the  Asset  and  Stock  Purchase  Agreement  by  and  among  Purchaser,  IGAMBIT  INC.,  a

Delaware  Corporation  (“iGambit”),  IGXGLOBAL,  INC.,  a  New  Jersey  corporation  (“IGXUS”

or “Seller”) and Shareholder, dated December 28, 2012 (as amended and in effect, the “Purchase

Agreement”).      By   its   execution   below,   iGambit   hereby   unconditionally   and   irrevocably

guarantees  the  payment  and  performance  of  this  Note,  and  hereby  agrees  to  be  jointly  and

severally liable with Purchaser for payment and performance of this Note.

Upon  receipt  of  evidence  satisfactory  to  Purchaser  of  the  loss,  theft,  destruction  or

mutilation  of  this  Secured  Promissory  Note  (this  “Note”),  and,  if  requested  in  the  case  of  any

such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity bond or other agreement or security

reasonably  satisfactory  to  Purchaser  or,  in  the  case  of  any  such  mutilation,  upon  surrender  and

cancellation  of  this  Note,  Purchaser  will  issue  a  new  Note,  in  the  amount  of  the  unpaid  principal

balance  of  the  lost,  stolen,  destroyed  or  mutilated  Note  and  dated  the  date  to  which  interest  has

been paid, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

The unpaid Principal of this Note shall bear interest from the date hereof until paid in full

at the annual percentage rate of six percent (6%).  All computations of interest payable hereunder

shall be on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed in the period for which such interest

is  payable.   Overdue  Principal  and  (to  the  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law)  interest  on  this

Note,  and  all  other  overdue  amounts  payable  hereunder,  shall  bear  interest  at  a  rate  equal  to  the

lesser  of  (1)  eleven  percent  (11%)  per  annum  or  (2)  the  highest  rate  allowed  by  applicable  law,

with  such  interest  on  overdue  Principal  or  interest  accruing  from  the  date  of  demand,  default  or

judgment, as applicable.

The Principal balance plus accrued interest shall be due and payable as follows:

Interest  shall  be  due  and  payable,  in  arrears,  monthly  with  the  first  (1st)  installment  due

on  the  first  (1st)  day  of  February,  2013  and  continuing  thereafter  each  month  until  the  Maturity

Date,  at  which  time  the  Principal  balance  and  any accrued  and  unpaid  interest  thereon  shall  be  due

and  payable  in  full.   For  purposes  of  this  Note,  “Maturity  Date”  means  the  earlier  of  (i)  iGambit’s

completion of a capital raising transaction (or a series of related transactions) with gross proceeds of

at least $5 Million or (ii) January 1, 2014.

Purchaser  acknowledges  and  agrees  that  all amounts  under  this  Note  are  due  and  payable

as  stated  herein,  and  Shareholder  has  no  obligation  to  renew  or  extend  this  Note.  The  books  and

records  of  Shareholder  shall  constitute  prima  facie  evidence  of  all  matters  with  respect  to  the

6798692_1.DOC




amounts due hereunder.  Payments shall be applied first to interest and then to Principal.

At  the  sole  option  of  Shareholder,  the  outstanding  balance  of this  Note  may  be  converted

into  shares  of  Rule  144  Restricted  Common  Stock  of  iGambit  at  a  price  per  share  of  $1.00.   In

the  event  that  the  Shareholder  elects  to  convert  any  outstanding  balance  due  under  this  Note  into

such  shares,  Shareholder  shall  give  written  notice  to  the  Purchaser  seven  (7)  days  prior  to  the

effective  date  of  such  exercise.   No  fractional  share  of  stock  shall  be  issued  upon  conversion.   In

lieu  of  any  such  fractional  share,  which  would  otherwise  be  issuable  upon  such  conversion,

Purchaser  shall  pay  to  Shareholder,  a  cash  adjustment,  in  respect  thereof,  in  an  amount  equal  to

the same fractional price attributable to such share of the Company’s common stock at the rate of

$1.04 per share.   The stock certificate representing shares of Rule 144 Restricted Common Stock

of  iGambit,  in  the  event  of  such  conversion,  shall  be  issued  and  delivered  to  Shareholder  within

fourteen (14) days of the effective date of such conversion.

same becomes due; and

ii.
