FOR VALUE RECEIVED, iGambit, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”) hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Clinigence Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Payee”), in such amounts and at such times as set forth herein, the aggregate principal sum of $393,092.28 plus all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other costs or such amount as may be outstanding under this Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration thereof and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.Interest; Net Payments; Additional Warrants.

(a)       The outstanding obligations under this Note shall bear interest at a rate equal to 6.00% per annum (the “Interest Rate”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b)       Until the Note is fully repaid, and unless paid earlier by pre-payment, acceleration or otherwise, all accrued and unpaid interest, and all unpaid costs fees and expenses of Payee, as allowed herein, together with the principal shall be due and payable upon the earlier of (i) December 24, 2019, (ii) the date that that certain Letter of Intent, dated as of even date herewith, by and between Maker and Payee (the “Letter of Intent”) is terminated pursuant to its terms, or (iii) on the occurrence of a Change of Control (the “Maturity Date”).

For the purposes of this clause (b), “Change of Control” shall mean (A) the closing of the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Maker’s assets, (B) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of the Maker with or into another entity, excluding Payee (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of the Maker outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of the Maker or the surviving or acquiring entity), or (C) the closing of the transfer (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons, excluding Payee (other than an underwriter of this corporation’s securities), of the Maker’s securities if, after such closing, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Maker (or the surviving or acquiring entity).

(c)       This Note may be prepaid at the option of Maker at any time in whole or in part, provided, however, concurrently with making any pre-payments, Maker shall pay to Payee all then accrued and unpaid interest and expenses. All prepayments shall be applied first, to any unreimbursed Payee costs and expenses; second, to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest on the Note; and third, to the principal payments required to be made pursuant to Section 1(b), in reverse order of maturity.

 1 

 

(d)       Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the interest rate applicable to the outstanding obligations shall be increased to 8.00% per annum, but in any event shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by law (the “Default Rate”), and such interest will be payable on demand. Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Maker pursuant to this Note (including, without limitation, all audit fees and expenses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) for preparing, amending, negotiating, administering, defending and enforcing this Note or otherwise incurred with respect to Maker) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the Default Rate. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 1(c) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Payee.

(e)       All payments (including prepayments) hereunder shall be made to the account specified by Payee to Maker in immediately available funds in United States Dollars without setoff, defense or counterclaim or withholding on account of taxes, levies, duties or any other deduction whatsoever, before 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next business day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a business day, the payment shall be due the next business day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.

(f)       Payee’s records of all payments made hereunder shall, absent manifest error, be binding on Maker for all purposes.

(g)        Principal Amounts repaid or prepaid hereunder may not be reborrowed.

5.                  Power of Attorney. Maker does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Payee its true and lawful attorney with full power of substitution, for it and in its name, place and stead, to execute, deliver and file such agreements, documents, notices, statements and records, to include, without limitation, financing statements, and to do or undertake such other acts as Payee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable to effect the terms and conditions of this Note and related documents and to otherwise preserve, protect and perfect the security of the security interest in the Collateral.
