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

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) iGambits
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 Companys 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.
