a written notice from iGambit prior to such third (3rd) business day that iGambit disputes Duffy’s

claim  as  to  appropriate  release  of  Escrow  Funds  and  Escrow  Documents,  then  the  Escrow Agent

4.

Disputes.   If  there  is  any  dispute  among  any  parties  as  to  the  disposition  of  the  Escrow

Documents and/or Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Escrow Documents

and  Escrow  Funds  subject  to  the  order  of  a  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  as  to  the  disposition

thereof.   Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  at  the  option  of  the  Escrow  Agent,  at  any time  after  the

Escrow Agent becomes aware of any dispute between any parties as to the disposition of the Escrow

Documents and/or Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Documents and Escrow

Funds with the clerk of a court of competent jurisdiction and commence an action in the nature of an

interpleader  for  a  determination  of  the  respective  rights  of  the  parties  hereto  in  the  Escrow

Documents and Escrow Funds, and, in any such case, recover the Escrow Agent’s costs and expenses

incurred in its role as the escrow agent hereunder, including reasonable attorney’s fees.  In the event

that  any  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  shall  render  any  judgment  or  enter  any  order  as  to  the

disposition of the Escrow Documents and/or Escrow Funds, then the Escrow Agent shall release the

Escrow Documents and Escrow Funds in accordance with such judgment or order.

5.

Duties.  The sole duty of Escrow Agent shall be to act in accordance with the terms of this

Agreement.  Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any instruments or other writings or signatures

believed  by it  in  good  faith to be genuine and may assume that  any person or entity purporting to

give any writing, notice, advice or instruction in connection with the provisions herein has been duly

authorized to do so.   Escrow Agent shall  have no responsibility for the contents of any writing or

other  instrument  delivered  to  it  hereunder  and  may  rely  without  any  liability  upon  the  contents

thereof and assume the truth thereof.  Escrow Agent may consult with counsel selected by it in its

sole discretion and may rely fully and without liability of any kind upon any opinion of such counsel

in respect of any action taken or permitted by Escrow Agent hereunder in good faith and in reliance

upon such opinion.  Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any mistake of fact or error of judgment or

for any acts or omissions of any kind unless caused by its gross negligence, recklessness or willful

misconduct.  Each of IGX NJ, Duffy, IGX DE and iGambit, jointly and severally, shall indemnify

and  hold  the  Escrow  Agent  harmless  from  and  against  any  and  all  losses,  damages,  costs  and

expenses that may be incurred by the Escrow Agent in its role as escrow agent hereunder by reason

of  its  compliance  in  good  faith  with  the  terms  of this  Agreement.   All  risk of loss  of  value  in  the

Escrow Documents and Escrow Funds shall be borne equally by the parties other than the Escrow

Agent.

6.

Conflicts.

(a)

Notwithstanding that the Escrow Agent is the attorney for IGX DE and iGambit in the

transaction to which the escrow arrangement under this Agreement relates or otherwise, the Escrow

Agent is not acting in its role as escrow agent under this Agreement as the attorney or agent of any

party; rather, the Escrow Agent is acting in such role in an independent capacity.  Notwithstanding

anything else, solely in connection with its role as escrow agent under this Agreement, the Escrow

Agent  at  all  times  shall  act  reasonably and  in  good  faith  (subject  to  Section  5  above) to  fulfill  its

duties  and  obligations  under this  Agreement  and  to  comply with all  applicable laws  pertaining to

escrow agents.

652893




-5-

(b)

Each of IGX DE and iGambit expressly consents and agrees that the Escrow Agent’s

legal  representation  of  IGX  DE  and  iGambit  shall  be  limited  to  those  circumstances  where  the

Escrow Agent is not obligated to take any action that is inconsistent with or in contravention of the

Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement.  Each of IGX DE and iGambit acknowledges that the

foregoing limitation is voluntarily given after consultation with the Escrow Agent in its role as the

attorney  to  IGX  DE  and  iGambit  and  not  in  its  role  as  escrow  agent  hereunder  regarding  the

consequences of such limitation.  Further, each of IGX DE and iGambit acknowledges that it has had

reasonable  opportunity  to  consult  with  an  attorney  of  its  choice  (i.e.,  an  attorney  other  than  the

Escrow  Agent  in  its  role  as  the  attorney  to  IGX  DE  and  iGambit  hereunder)  regarding  the

consequences of such limitation.

(c)

Each  of  Duffy  and  IGX  NJ  consents  and  agrees,  after  having  the  opportunity  to

consult  with  legal  counsel  of  its/his  choosing,  that,  subject  at  all  times  to  the  Escrow  Agent’s

compliance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 5 and 6(a) above) and all

applicable laws pertaining to escrow agents, the Escrow Agent may continue to represent and act as

legal counsel to IGX DE and iGambit notwithstanding the Escrow Agent’s status as escrow agent

under  this  Agreement.   Further,  subject  at  all  times  to  the  Escrow  Agent’s  compliance  with  this

Agreement  (including,  without  limitation,  Sections  5  and  6(a)  above)  and  all  applicable  laws

pertaining to escrow agents, each of IGX NJ and Duffy waives any conflicts of interest that may arise

from the Escrow Agent’s concurrent roles as the escrow agent under this Agreement and the attorney

for IGX DE and iGambit (including without limitation in connection with the Escrow Agent’s legal

representation of IGX DE and/or iGambit in any dispute or litigation under this Agreement or the

Rescission Agreement (including any interpleader action that may be brought with regard to any of

the Escrow Documents or Escrow Funds)).

7.

Notices.  All notices, demands or other communications to be given or delivered under or by

reason  of  the  provisions  of  this  Agreement  shall  be  in  writing  and  shall  be  deemed  to  have  been

given (a) when delivered personally to the recipient, (b) when sent to the recipient by facsimile or

electronic mail (receipt electronically confirmed by sender’s facsimile machine or electronic mail

service  (charges  prepaid),  or  by  certified  or  registered  mail,  return  receipt  requested  and  postage

prepaid.    Such  notices,  demands  and  other  communications  shall  be  sent  to  the  parties  at  the

This Agreement may not be altered or amended in any manner without the written agreement

of all  parties  hereto.   However,  iGambit  and  Duffy may by mutual  written  agreement  remove the

then acting Escrow Agent  by joint  written notice to the then acting Escrow Agent (the “Removal

Notice”) identifying the successor escrow agent hereunder; and Escrow Agent, at its option, may, at

any time after that date which is one (1) month after the date of this Agreement, voluntarily withdraw

as the escrow agent hereunder by written notice to the parties (the Withdrawal Notice”) given ten

(10) business days prior to the effective withdrawal date indicated therein (the Withdrawal Date”).

(a)

Within three (3) business days after its receipt of any Removal Notice, the then acting

Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Documents and Escrow Funds, as such are then constituted,

to the successor escrow agent indicated in the Removal Notice, and upon delivery of such Escrow

Documents and Escrow Funds to such successor escrow agent, the then acting Escrow Agent shall

be, and hereby is, released of all further obligations hereunder.

(b)

On or before that date which is three (3) business days before the Withdrawal Date,

iGambit and Duffy shall by joint written notice to withdrawing Escrow Agent identify the successor

escrow agent hereunder; and upon the Withdrawal Date the withdrawing Escrow Agent shall deliver

the  Escrow  Documents  and  Escrow  Funds,  as  such  are  then  constituted,  to  the  successor  escrow

agent  indicated  in  such  joint  written  notice  from  iGambit  and  Duffy,  and  upon  delivery  of  such

Escrow  Documents  and  Escrow  Funds  to  such  successor  escrow  agent,  the  withdrawing  Escrow

Agent  shall  be,  and  hereby is,  released  of  all  further  obligations  hereunder.   Notwithstanding  the

foregoing, if iGambit and Duffy fail to deliver joint instructions to the withdrawing Escrow Agent on

or before that date which is three (3) business days before the Withdrawal Date, then Escrow Agent,

at its option, at any time thereafter, may deposit the Escrow Documents and Escrow Funds with the

clerk of a court of competent jurisdiction and commence an action in the nature of an interpleader for

a determination of the respective rights of the parties hereto in the Escrow Documents and Escrow

652893

Funds, and, in any such case, recover the Escrow Agent’s costs and expenses, including reasonable

attorney’s fees, incurred in its role as escrow agent hereunder.

(c)

Effective upon the effective time of the withdrawal or removal of the Escrow Agent

as  escrow  agent  hereunder,  any  successor  escrow  agent  appointed  by  iGambit  and  Duffy (which

appointment  shall  be  made  in  writing  by  iGambit  and  Duffy  and  accepted  in  writing  by  such

successor  escrow  agent)  shall  succeed  to  all  of  Escrow  Agent’s  rights  and  obligations  as  escrow

agent  hereunder  and  from  and  after  such  time  shall  be  the  Escrow  Agent  hereunder  for  all

purposes hereunder (provided that, notwithstanding anything else, no successor escrow agent shall

act  in  concurrent  roles  as  the  attorney for  any party hereunder and  as  the  escrow agent  hereunder

unless iGambit and Duffy agree in writing to such concurrent roles).

9.

Successors and  Assigns.   This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be

binding  upon  and  shall  inure  to  the  benefit  of  the  parties  hereto,  and  their  heirs,  personal

representatives, successors and assigns.

10.

Electronic Signatures; Counterparts.  Facsimile transmissions or scanned and then emailed

transmissions  of  any  executed  original  document  or  retransmission  of  any  executed  facsimile  or

scanned  and  emailed  transmission  shall  be  deemed  to  be  the  same  as  the  delivery of  an  executed

original (collectively, Electronic Signatures”).  At the request of any party hereto, the other parties

hereto  shall  confirm  transmissions  of  the  Electronic  Signatures  by  executing  duplicate  original

documents  and  delivering  the  same  to  the  requesting  party  or  parties.   This  Agreement  may  be

executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of

which  when  so  executed  shall  be  deemed  to  be  an  original  and  all  of  which  taken  together  shall

constitute one and the same agreement.

11.

Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the

internal laws of the State of Flordia, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision

or rule (whether of the State of Florida or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of

the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida.

12.

Severability.     In   case   any  provision   of   this   Agreement   shall   be   invalid,   illegal   or

unenforceable, it shall, to the extent possible, be modified in such manner as to be valid, legal and

enforceable  but  so  as  most  nearly  to  retain  the  intent  of  the  parties.   If  such  modification  is  not

possible, such provision shall be severed from this Agreement.  In either case the validity, legality

and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or

impaired thereby.
