or upon any transfer thereof under the Act and applicable state securities laws, and Rule 144
and/or Rule 145 may not be available as a basis for exemption from registration; and (4) unless
and until registered under the Act or as permitted in Rule 144 and/or Rule 145, all certificates
evidencing the Shares, whether upon initial issuance or upon any transfer thereof, will bear a
legend, prominently stamped or printed thereon, reading substantially as follows:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES
MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR PURSUANT TO
AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT
AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
(b)
Representations, Warranties and Covenants. (1) The Shares are being
acquired for the Shareholder’s own account for investment and not for distribution or resale to
others and the Shareholder will not sell or otherwise transfer the Shares, whether by dividend or
23
other distribution or upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise, unless they are registered under
the Act and the securities acts of any appropriate state or unless an exemption from such
registration is available and iGambit is satisfied, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, that
such exemption is available; (2) the acquisition of the Shares by the Shareholder hereunder is
consistent with its general investment objectives and the Shareholder understands that the
acquisition of the Shares is a speculative investment involving a high degree of risk, including
the risk of total loss of such investment, and there is now no established market for iGambit’s
capital stock and there is no assurance that any public market for such stock will develop; (3) the
Shareholder has adequate means of providing for his current needs and possible personal
contingencies and he has no need for liquidity in this investment and can bear the risk of losing
his entire investment in the Shares; (4) iGambit has made available to the Shareholder at a
reasonable time prior to its investment the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
concerning the Shares and to obtain any additional information which iGambit possesses or can
acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary in connection with the
investment but the Shareholder agrees and acknowledges, however, that he has relied solely upon
this Agreement and his own independent investigation in making the decision to invest in the
Shares; (5) the Shareholder understands that the distribution of the Shares is limited solely to
“accredited investors,” as that term is defined under Regulation D of the Securities Act or by
persons, or in transactions that are otherwise exempt under the provisions of Sections 4(1) or 4(2)
of the Securities Act; (6) the Shareholder is acquiring the Shares without having been furnished
any specific offering literature or prospectus but has relied generally upon information filed by
iGambit with the Securities and Exchange Commission and acknowledges that no
representations or warranties have been made to the Shareholders or his representatives by
iGambit, or any officer, employee, agent or affiliate of iGambit other than as contained in this
Agreement and the Shareholder must independently seek advice from its own tax and other
advisor(s) and is not relying on any tax or other advice received from iGambit in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (7) the Shareholder has neither relied upon
nor seen any form of advertising or general solicitation in connection with the distribution of the
Shares.
(e)
Additional Issuances. For a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing date
hereof, if the Board of Directors of iGambit shall issue or propose to issue any additional shares
of iGambit’s common stock, or warrants, options (excluding any options granted to employees of
the Company and iGambit in accordance with any employee plans, now or hereinafter in effect)
or other rights or instruments of any kind convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
shares of Common Stock, such issuance shall be to the overall benefit of all the iGambit’s
shareholders and the Shareholder.

6.
INDEMNIFICATION AND SURVIVAL.
6.1
Indemnification by the Shareholder. Subject to the other provisions of this
Section 6, the Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless iGambit
and its respective successors and assigns, at all times from and after the date of Closing, against
and in respect of any and all demands, Claims, causes of action, administrative orders and
notices, losses, costs, fines, liabilities, penalties, interest, damages and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorney fees and expenses) (“Losses”), resulting from, in
connection with or arising out of:
(i)
any material misrepresentation, breach of warranty or breach or non-
fulfillment of any agreement or covenant on the part of the Shareholder under this
Agreement, or from any material inaccuracy or misrepresentation in or omission from any
certificate or other instrument or document furnished or to be furnished by or on behalf of
the Shareholder at Closing;
(ii)
all Claims, assessments, judgments, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses of any nature incident to any of the matters indemnified against pursuant to this
Section 6.1, including, without limitation, all such costs and expenses incurred in the
defense thereof or in the enforcement of any rights of iGambit hereunder.
6.2
Indemnification by iGambit. iGambit hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Shareholder and their respective successors and assigns, at all times from
and after the date of Closing against and in respect of any and all Losses resulting from, in
connection with or arising out of:
(i)
any material misrepresentation, breach of warranty or breach or non-
fulfillment of any agreement or covenant on the part of iGambit under this Agreement or
from any material inaccuracy or misrepresentation in or omission from any certificate or
other instrument or document furnished or to be furnished by or on behalf of iGambit at
Closing;
(ii)
all Claims, assessments, judgments, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses of any nature incident to any of the matters indemnified against pursuant to this
26
Section 6.2, including, without limitation, all such costs and expenses incurred in the
defense thereof or in the enforcement of any rights of the Shareholder hereunder; and/or
(iii) the operation or ownership of the Acquired Business after the Closing,
except to the extent a iGambit is indemnified pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof.
6.3
Notice and Defense.
(a)
If at any time a party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnitee”)
shall receive notice from any third party of any asserted Loss claimed to give rise to
indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitee shall promptly give notice thereof (“Claims Notice”)
to the party obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnitor”) of such Loss. The Claims
Notice shall set forth a brief description of the Loss, in reasonable detail, and, if known or
reasonably estimable, the amount of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnitee.
The failure of the Indemnitee to give a Claims Notice promptly shall not waive or otherwise
affect the Indemnitor’s obligations with respect thereto, except to the extent that the Indemnitor
is prejudiced as a result of such failure (or to the extent the associated claim is barred by another
provision hereof regarding any survival period). All indemnity claims by the Indemnitee shall be
bona fide. Any claim for indemnification with respect to any of such matters which is not
asserted by a notice given as herein provided specifically identifying the particular breach
underlying such claim and the reasonable detail of facts and Losses relating thereto within the
specified periods of survival may not be pursued until and unless properly made, and if regarding
a representation or warranty, within the applicable survival period as set forth in Section 6.7.
Thereafter, the Indemnitor shall have, at its election, the right to compromise or defend any such
matter at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense through counsel chosen by the Indemnitor and
approved by the Indemnitee (which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld); provided,
however, that (i) Indemnitor provides evidence reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee that
Indemnitor has the financial wherewithal to satisfy and discharge the Loss in full, and (ii) any
such compromise or defense shall be conducted in a manner which is reasonable and not contrary
to the Indemnitee’s interests, and the Indemnitee shall in all events have a right to veto any such
compromise or defense which is unreasonable or which would jeopardize in any material respect
any assets or business of the Indemnitee or any of its affiliates or increase the potential liability
of, or create a new liability for, the Indemnitee or any of its affiliates and, provided further that
the Indemnitor shall in all events indemnify the Indemnitee and its affiliates against any damage
resulting from the manner in which such matter is compromised or defended, including any
failure to pay any such claim while such litigation is pending. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Indemnitor receives a firm offer to settle a third party Claim, and the Indemnitor desires to
accept such offer, the Indemnitor will give written notice to the Indemnitee to that effect. In the
event that the Indemnitor does so undertake to compromise and defend a claim, the Indemnitor
shall notify the Indemnitee of its intention to do so. Each party agrees in all cases to use
commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the defending party and its counsel in the
compromise of or defending of any such liabilities or claims. In addition, the nondefending party
shall at all times be entitled to monitor such defense through the appointment, at its own cost and
expense, of advisory counsel of its own choosing.
27
(b)
In the event any Indemnitee should have an indemnity claim against any
Indemnitor hereunder which does not involve a third party Claim, the Indemnitee shall transmit
to the Indemnitor a Claims Notice. The Indemnitor shall have fifteen (15) business days after
receipt of any such Claims Notice in which to object in writing to the claim or claims made by
Indemnitee in such Claims Notice, which written objection (the “Objection Notice”) shall state,
in reasonable detail, the basis for Indemnitor’s objection. In the event that Indemnitor does
deliver an Objection Notice with respect to any claim or claims made in any Claims Notice, the
Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall, within the fifteen (15) day period beginning as of the date
of the receipt by Indemnitee of the Objection Notice, attempt in good faith to agree upon the
proper resolutions of each of such claims. If the parties should so agree, a written memorandum
setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties. If no agreement can be
reached after good faith negotiations within such 15-day negotiating period (or such extended
period as the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall mutually agree upon in writing), the parties
may pursue their remedies at law (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement).
6.4
Indemnification Limits and Restrictions.
(a)
De Minimis. No indemnification shall be payable by Shareholder with
respect to any indemnity claim under clause (i) of Section 6.1 with respect to any individual Loss
(or series of related Losses arising out of the same or substantially similar circumstances) which
is (or, for such a series, are in the aggregate) less than Twenty Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000.00) (the “De Minimis Amount”); provided, however, that, in each case subject to the
other terms of this Section 6, if such Loss (or Losses) exceeds the De Minimis Amount, then all
of such indemnification shall be payable for the entire amount of such Loss (or Losses),
including the portion that is less than the De Minimis Amount.
(b)
Holdback Amount; Set-Off
(i) Pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Agreement, the Shareholder and iGambit
have agreed that the Holdback Amount shall be withheld from payment at the Closing, subject to
this Section 6.4.
(ii) The Holdback Amount is being withheld by iGambit for the purpose of
allowing iGambit and the Company to recover therefrom the amount of any claims for
indemnification iGambit and the Company may have against the Shareholder under Section 6.1
above or any other provisions of this Agreement. The Holdback Amount is the maximum
amount that the Shareholder may be liable for its indemnification obligations pursuant to this
Section 6. Except for intentional misrepresentation or fraud, the Shareholder shall not be
personally liable for any indemnifications obligations pursuant to this Section VI beyond the
Holdback Amount.
(ii) The Holdback Amount shall be paid to the Shareholder on the Survival
Date, as defined in Section 6.7 below, provided that in the event the Company or iGambit has
any claims for indemnification against the Shareholder under Section 6.2 above or any other
provisions of this Agreement for which iGambit or the Company, as applicable, has given notice
to the Shareholder in accordance with the terms herein, iGambit shall continue to withhold the
28
portion of the Holdback Amount subject to such claims until the parties fully and finally resolve
such claims.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if iGambit
determines in good faith that it is entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1,
iGambit may, and in addition to any other right or remedy it or they may have, set-off all or any
portion of their good faith estimate of the amount of such indemnification claim (a “Set-Off
Amount”) against the Holdback Amount that is payable under Section 2.3, provided iGambit
notifies the Shareholder in writing (a “Set-Off Notice”) that iGambit intends to make such set-off
at least ten (10) days prior to the date such Holdback Amount is payable under this Section 6.4.
Shareholder may deliver an Objection Notice within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a Set-Off
Notice, in the manner provided in Section 6.3(b), and the claim for set-off shall be resolved in the
manner set forth in Section 6.3(b).
(e)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Losses shall
not include (i) consequential, special or punitive damages or (ii) fees and expenses of more than
one counsel with respect to any indemnified claim or claims arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances unless counsel to the Indemnitee has provided a written opinion to
the Indemnitor stating that legal conflict of interest requires that the Indemnitor have separate
counsel.
6.5
Shareholder Indemnification. With respect to any indemnity claim under Section
6.1, iGambit hereby agrees that it shall seek recourse and remedy for such indemnifiable Losses
(subject to Sections 6.4 above) solely by enforcing its rights against the Holdback Amount which
is due or may become due to Shareholder under this Agreement.
6.6
Subrogation. After any indemnification payment is made to iGambit pursuant to
this Section 6, Shareholder shall, to the extent of such payment and to the extent permitted by
applicable law and applicable contracts, be subrogated to all rights (if any) of iGambit against
any third party in connection with the Losses to which such payment relates. Without limiting
the generality of the preceding sentence, iGambit shall execute, upon the written request of the
Indemnitor, any instrument reasonably necessary to evidence such subrogation rights.
6.7
Survival. All representations and warranties of Shareholder, Company and
iGambit under this Agreement will survive the Closing until, and will expire at the later of (i)
5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on later of (i) the first (1st) anniversary of completion of the first audit of
iGambit after the Closing, provided that such audit is completed not more than eighteen (18)
months after the Closing Date, or (ii) that date which is twelve (12) months from the Closing
Date (the “Survival Date”). All covenants requiring performance prior to Closing shall expire on
the Closing Date and all covenants requiring performance by any party after the Closing shall
survive the Closing in accordance with their terms and claims for breach therefor may be made at
any time until the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to such claims. If a Claims
Notice is delivered before the expiration of the applicable survival period, the matters that are the
subject of such Claim Notice shall survive until such indemnity claim is finally resolved. Any
Claims Notice resulting from any alleged breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty
29
herein must be asserted in writing which contains specific facts, allegations and amounts sought
by an Indemnitee to the Indemnitor prior to the Survival Date.
6.8
Exclusive Remedy.
The indemnification given by the parties under this
Agreement shall be the parties’ sole and exclusive remedy, each against the other, with respect to
all matters of any kind or nature whatsoever respecting this Agreement and the transactions
hereunder.

$15,000 and $50,000 of financing (“Bridge Loan”) pursuant to those Promissory Note

affiliate, or a third party), and/or equity or some combination (the “Initial Investment
Commitment”).
11.
PIGGYBACK.
(a)
Right to Piggyback. After Closing, if iGambit at any time determines to
file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to any
offering of its securities for its own account or for the account of any stockholder who holds its
securities (other than (i) a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any similar or successor form to
such forms, (ii) a registration of securities solely relating to an offering and sale to employees,
directors or consultants of iGambit pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee
benefit plan arrangement or (iii) a registration of non-convertible debt securities) (a “Piggyback
Registration”) then, as expeditiously as reasonably possible following such determination,
iGambit shall give written notice (the “Incidental Registration Notice”) of its intention to effect
such a registration to the Shareholder, and such notice shall offer Shareholder the opportunity to
register such number of registrable securities as each such Shareholder may request in writing.
iGambit shall include in such registration statement all such registrable securities which are
requested in writing by the Shareholder (a “Piggyback Participation Notice”) to be included
therein, on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold in such
registration, such Piggyback Participation Notice to be received within fifteen (15) days after the
date of the Incidental Registration Notice. If Shareholder does not timely deliver a Piggyback
Participation Notice, then it shall be deemed to have waived its right to participate in the
Piggyback Registration. If the Shareholder decides not to include all of its registrable securities in
any Piggyback Registration, then Shareholder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to
include any registrable securities in any subsequent Piggyback Registration as may be filed by
iGambit with respect to offerings of iGambit’s securities, all upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein.
(b)
Underwriter Exception. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten
secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s securities, and the managing
underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities
requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such
offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company will include
in such registration a pro rata share of registrable securities requested to be included in such
registration statement as calculated by dividing the number of registrable securities requested to
be included in such registration statement by the number of the Company’s securities requested
to be included in such registration statement by all selling security holders. In such event, the
32
Shareholder shall continue to have registration rights under this Agreement with respect to any
registrable securities not so included in such registration statement.
(d)
Piggyback Expenses. The registration expenses of the Shareholder shall be
paid by iGambit in all Piggyback Registrations. The obligation of iGambit to bear, or to pay or
reimburse the Shareholder for, registration expenses shall apply irrespective of whether any sales
of registrable securities ultimately take place.

whatsoever, including, but not limited to taxes that may become due and payable as a result of

parties to and does constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior understandings,

competent jurisdiction illegal, void or unenforceable, the other provisions shall not be effected,
but shall remain in full force and effect.
12.6 Modification and Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified or amended
except by an instrument in writing duly executed by the parties hereto, and no waiver of
compliance of any provision or condition hereof and no consent provided for herein shall be
effective unless evidenced by an instrument in writing duly executed by the party hereto seeking

12.9 Specific Performance.
The parties hereto recognize that if the Shareholder does not perform under the
provisions of this Agreement or any other agreements or instruments provided for in this
Agreement, then monetary damages alone would not be adequate to compensate iGambit for its
injury. iGambit shall therefore be entitled, in addition to any remedies that may be available at
law or in equity including, without limitation, monetary damages, to obtain specific performance
of the obligations of the Shareholder. If any action is brought by iGambit to specifically enforce
this Agreement or any other agreements or instruments provided for herein, the Shareholder shall
waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legatees, beneficiaries, personal
representatives and other legal representatives and assigns, as the case may be. This Agreement

hereto; provided, however, that each party may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any
affiliate of such party.
12.11 Enumerations and Headings. The enumerations and headings contained in this
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way be held or deemed to

meaning of any provision or the scope or intent of this Agreement, or in any way effect this

which taken together shall be deemed to constitute one original Agreement. This Agreement
may be executed by delivery of a facsimile or .pdf copy of an executed signature page with the
same force and effect as the delivery of an originally executed signature page. In the event any
party delivers a facsimile or .pdf copy of a signature page to this Agreement, such party shall
deliver an originally executed signature page at any time thereafter upon request; provided,
however, that the failure to deliver any such originally executed signature page shall not affect
the validity of the signature page delivered by facsimile or .pdf, which has and shall continue to
have the same force and effect as the originally executed signature page.
12.13 Waiver of Bulk Sales Compliance. Each of the parties hereto waives compliance
with any applicable bulk sales or similar provisions, provided however, that the Shareholder
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless iGambit from and against any and all losses,
expenses, claims, liabilities or attorney’s fees arising as a result of such waiver.
35
12.14 Disclosure. The parties hereto will consult with each other and reach mutual
agreement before issuing any press release or otherwise making any statement or disclosure, oral
or written, with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided,
however, that each party will be permitted to make, without the agreement of the other, such
disclosures to the public or to governmental entities as that party’s counsel reasonably deems
necessary to maintain compliance with applicable laws. Except as provided above, the existence
and/or contents of this Agreement shall not be disclosed by the Shareholder without iGambit’s
prior written consent.

the employees, attorneys, accountants and other agents and representatives of any of the
foregoing (collectively, “Representatives”) will disclose or use any Confidential Information (as
defined below), whether already furnished or to be furnished in the future to any party hereto or
their Representatives in any manner other than in connection with the evaluation and negotiation
of the transactions proposed in this Agreement once executed and delivered; except to the extent
that disclosure is required by law. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information”
means the existence and terms of this Agreement and any information regarding iGambit, the
Shareholder, the Company, their affiliates or the Transactions or the Assets. Confidential
Information does not include information that a party to this Agreement can demonstrate (i) is
generally available to or known by the public other than as a result of improper disclosure; (ii) is
obtained by the disclosing party from a source other than the other party or its Representatives; or
(iii) was in the possession of the other party prior to the date hereof other than as a result of
improper disclosure and was obtained other than in connection with consideration of the
transactions set forth in this Agreement, provided that such source was not bound by a duty of
confidentiality with respect to such information. Upon the written request of any party, the other
party will promptly return any Confidential Information in its possession or in the possession of
its Representatives.
12.16 Survival. All representations and warranties made by the parties in this
