Senior Secured Convertible Term Note

$2,500,000

November 14, 2013

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, REMARK MEDIA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of DIGIPAC, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lender”), the principal sum of Two and One Half Million Dollars ($2,500,000) (the “Principal Amount”), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds.

1. Maturity. The unpaid Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the second anniversary of the date of this Note (the “Maturity Date”), unless converted prior thereto pursuant to Section 4, which Maturity Date may be extended only pursuant to a writing signed by Xxxxxxxx and Lender.

2. Interest. Xxxxxxxx further promises to pay interest on the unpaid Principal Amount of this Note at a rate per annum equal to six and 67/100 percent (6.67%) for the first year of this Note. For the period commencing November 15, 2014 and thereafter Xxxxxxxx further promises to pay interest on the unpaid Principal Amount of this Note at a rate per annum equal to eight and 67/100 percent (8.67%). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears to Lender on the last day of each quarter commencing on the first such date to occur after the execution of this Note.

3. Prepayment. Borrower may prepay this Note, in full or in part, at any time prior to the Maturity Date if, and only if, Borrower provides Lender at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice of such prepayment.

4. Conversion of the Note.

4.1 Subject to and upon compliance with the terms and provisions of this Note, at any time Lender or Borrower (subject to the requirements of Section 4.3) shall have the right to convert the unpaid Principal Amount of, and interest due under, this Note into shares of common stock of Borrower as set forth below.

(a) At any time on or prior to the Maturity Date (or after the Maturity Date if Borrower has failed to timely repay the unpaid Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon on the terms of this Note), Lender shall have the option, upon Xxxxxx’s written notice to Xxxxxxxx, (or

Borrower shall have the option, upon Xxxxxxxx’s written notice to Lender) to elect to convert the outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount or any portion thereof, plus, at Lender’s election (or at Borrower’s election if the Borrower elected to convert), any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (collectively, the “Conversion Amount”), into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the common stock (“Common Stock”) of Borrower at the Common Stock Conversion Price (as defined in Section 4.1(c)) (the “Common Stock Conversion”). To the extent that the entire amount due under the Note is not converted into Common Stock, the Borrower will deliver a new note with similar terms and conditions as this Note which will reflect the remaining amounts owed to Lender under this Note.

(b) The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be determined by dividing (i) the Conversion Amount by (ii) the Common Stock Conversion Price. Borrower shall issue and deliver to Lender certificates or cause book entries to be made by its transfer agent evidencing such Common Stock within five (5) business days after the Common Stock Conversion.

(d) Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note.

(e) The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Xxxxxx’s and Xxxxxxxx’s conversion rights contained in this Section 4.1 shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:

(i) Splits and Subdivisions. If Borrower should at any time or from time to time prior to any conversion in accordance with this Section 4.1 (the “Conversion Date”), if any, fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, then, as of such record date (or the date of such distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Common Stock Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased and the number of shares of Common Stock which this Note is convertible into pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be appropriately increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.

(ii) Combination of Shares. If prior to the Conversion Date, if any, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Common Stock Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock which this Note is convertible into pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be appropriately decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

(iii) Merger or Consolidation. If at any time or from time to time prior to the Conversion Date, if any, there shall be a capital reorganization of Borrower’s equity securities (other than a subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 4.1(e)) or a merger or consolidation of Borrower with or into another corporation, then as a part of such reorganization, merger or consolidation, provision shall be made so that Lender shall thereafter exclusively be entitled to receive upon the conversion of this Note in accordance with this Section 4.1, the number of shares of stock or other securities or other property (including, if applicable, cash) (or any combination thereof) to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock (or of any shares of stock or other securities or other property (including, if applicable, cash) (or any combination thereof) which may be) issuable upon the conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 4.1 would have received if this Note had been converted into Common Stock in accordance with this Section 4.1 immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation.

(iv) Reclassification, Conversion or Reorganization. If the Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities which may be) issuable upon the conversion of this Note in accordance with this Section 4.1 shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, conversion, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 4.1(e) above, or a reorganization, merger or consolidation provided for in clause (iii) of this Section 4.1(e) above), then and in each such event Lender shall exclusively be entitled to receive upon the conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 4.1 the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or other property (including, if applicable, cash) (or any combination thereof) upon such reorganization, conversion, reclassification or other change, to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock (or of any shares of stock or other securities or other property (including, if applicable, cash) (or any combination thereof) which may be) issuable upon the conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 4.1 would have received if this Note had been converted into Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4.1 immediately prior to such reorganization, conversion, reclassification or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(v) Notice of Adjustments and Record Dates. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing of each adjustment or readjustment of the Common Stock Conversion Price hereunder and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable

upon the conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 4.1. Such notice shall state the adjustment or readjustment and show in reasonable detail the facts on which that adjustment or readjustment is based. In the event of any taking by Xxxxxxxx of a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, Borrower shall notify Lender in writing of such record date at least twenty (20) days prior to the date specified therein.

(vi) No Impairment. Borrower shall not avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by Xxxxxxxx, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower (i) shall reserve and keep available a number of its authorized shares of Common Stock, free from all preemptive rights, which shall be sufficient to permit the conversion of this Note in accordance with this Section 4.1 and (ii) shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that all shares of Common Stock as may be issued pursuant to the conversion of this Note in accordance with this Section 4.1 shall, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

4.2 Method of Conversion. This Note may be converted by Lender or Borrower only as described in this Section 4. Xxxxxx agrees to deliver the original of this Note (or an affidavit to the effect that this Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to Borrower whereby Xxxxxx agrees to indemnify Borrower from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note) upon the Common Stock Conversion for cancellation. Furthermore, Xxxxxx hereby agrees to execute and deliver to Borrower all transaction documents reasonably requested by Borrower in connection with the Common Stock Conversion, including a subscription agreement and other ancillary agreements (if requested), with customary representations and warranties and transfer restrictions.

4.3 Additional Requirement for Conversion by Borrower. The Borrower may not elect to have this Note converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Note unless the VWAP (as hereinafter defined) for the Borrower’s Common Stock is at least 150% of the Common Stock Conversion Price for at least 30 out of the 40 trading days immediately prior to the date that the Borrower elects to convert. For the purposes of this Note, VWAP means, for any date, the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date on which the Common Stock actually traded) on the Nasdaq-CM, or such other trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted, as reported by NASDAQ VWAP.

Specifically, this Agreement and the Security Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been approved by Borrower in accordance with Section 144 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

5.3 Approvals. No authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no filings or registrations with, any governmental authority or agency, or any securities exchange, are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by Borrower of this Note and the Security Agreement or for the legality, validity or enforceability hereof or thereof, except for filings and recordings in respect of the security interest created pursuant to the Security Agreement and filings required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”).

5.4 No Breach. None of the execution and delivery of this Note and the Security Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof and thereof will conflict with or result in a breach of, or require any consent under, the charter or by-laws of Borrower, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is bound or to which any of them is subject, or constitute a default under any such agreement or instrument, or (except for the security interest created

5.6 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Borrower is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any governmental authority applicable to it or its property and all agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the property, business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, liabilities or capitalization of the Borrower.

6.2 Authorization; Enforceability. Lender has all necessary limited liability company power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Note and the Security Agreement (as defined below); the execution, delivery and performance by Lender of this Note and the Security Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part (including, without limitation, any required shareholder approvals); and each of this Note and

the Security Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Xxxxxx and constitutes, and the Security Agreement when executed and delivered by Lender will constitute, its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable against Lender in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (b) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

6.3 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The securities to be received by Xxxxxx hereunder will be acquired for Xxxxxx’s own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and Xxxxxx has no present arrangement or intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the 1933 Act without prejudice, however, to Xxxxxx’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by Lender to hold the securities for any period of time. Lender is not a broker-dealer registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the 1934 Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered.

Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by Lender shall modify, limit or otherwise affect Lender’s right to rely on the Borrower’s representations and warranties contained in this Note or the Security Agreement.

6.6 Restricted Securities. Xxxxxx understands that the securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Borrower in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances.

6.7 Accredited Investor. At the time Lender was offered the securities it was, and at the date hereof it is, and on the date it converts any portion of the Note it will be, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as amended, under the 1933 Act.

6.8 No General Solicitation. Xxxxxx did not learn of the investment in the securities as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising.

7.6 Borrower breaches any of its representations, warranties contained in this Note or the Security Agreement in any material respect and such breach is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice thereof to Borrower.

8. Remedies.

8.1 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default described in Sections 7.3, 7.4 or 7.5 (any such Event of Default, an “Insolvency Event”) (i) all amounts payable by Borrower pursuant to this Note shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, notice, protest or

other requirements of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by Xxxxxxxx) and (ii) Lender shall be entitled to exercise any and all remedies available to Lender at law or in equity.

8.2 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default other than an Insolvency Event, (i) Lender may, by written notice to Borrower, declare all amounts payable by Borrower pursuant to this Note to be due and payable, and all such amounts shall immediately become due and payable and (ii) Lender shall be entitled to exercise any and all remedies available to Lender at law or in equity. Written notice pursuant to this clause (b) shall be sufficient if it is addressed to Borrower and states that such an Event of Default has occurred and Lender is providing notice that all amounts due and payable pursuant to this Note are immediately due and payable in accordance with this clause (b).

9. Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an “Event of Default,” interest shall accrue on the unpaid Principal Amount at the rate of interest specified in Section 2 PLUS three percent (3%) per annum, or such lower maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law.

10. Security. The obligations of Borrower to Lender under this Note are secured pursuant to that certain Security Agreement between Borrower and Lender dated as of November 23, 2012, as amended by that certain Amendment Number One to Security Agreement between Borrower and Lender of April 2, 2013, and that certain Amendment Number Two to Security Agreement between Borrower and Lender of even date herewith (as the same may be further amended from time to time, the “Security Agreement”). In addition to the rights and remedies given it pursuant to the Security Agreement, Lender shall have all those rights and remedies allowed by applicable laws. The rights and remedies of Lender are cumulative and recourse to one or more right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the others. Borrower shall be liable for all commercially reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by Xxxxxx in connection with the collection of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

11. Registration Rights. Lender shall have registration rights with respect to all shares of Common Stock into which this Note is convertible.
