MODIFICATION AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
EXHIBIT 10.22
THE MODIFICATION AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT (hereinafter referred to as the
“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between IBB REALTY, LLC, a Florida
Limited Liability Company, (hereinafter referred to as
“IBB”) and ODIMO
INCORPORATED (hereinafter referred to as AOdimo@) and IBB and Odimo will be
referred to collectively as the “Parties.”
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, IBB and Odimo desire to avoid litigation, and seek to resolve all matters in
controversy, disputes, and causes of action between the Parties in dealing with the original
Commercial Lease Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “Lease”) dated and effective as of
January 1, 2006.
WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge that Odimo desires to terminate its lease obligation with IBB
dated January 1, 2006, for a payment of consideration of $500,000.00 along with an agreement to
surrender the security deposit of $79,327.33, Odimo shall be released from any liabilities on the
lease subject to the following provisions;
FIRST: The payment of the $500,000.00 and the payment of $79,327.33 of the security
deposit shall not be considered rent monies owed by Odimo to IBB. The aggregate amount of
$579,327.33 is the fair estimate of damages that IBB will suffer due to Odimo’s termination of the
original lease. Upon payment of the $579,327.33 by Odimo to IBB, the Lease shall be terminated and
IBB shall release Odimo of and from any liability under the Lease. $30,204.54 of the $579,327.33
shall be held in escrow by IBB’s counsel Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx, P.A., (the “Escrow Agent”) and
shall be disbursed to Odimo upon Odimo vacating the premises.
SECOND: In the event the $500,000.00 is not paid to IBB by January 1, 2007, then this
Agreement is hereby determined null and void and the original lease dated January 1, 2006 shall
remain in full force and effect.
THIRD: The payment of the $500,000.00 and the release of the security deposit shall be paid
by Odimo to IBB on the day of the closing of sale, if any, by Odimo of any of Odimo’s assets (other
than inventory) outside the ordinary course of business. Said closing of the transaction must be
conducted prior to January 1, 2007 with payment being in the form of either a wire transfer or by
certified check.
FOURTH: November and December 2006 rental monies shall be paid on the first calendar
day of each month, respectively. Odimo will pay the full amount of monthly rent for the months
of November 2006 and December 2006. Any amounts paid in excess of the $26,500.00 per month amount
(the aggregate being “rent” of $25,000.00 plus applicable sales tax of $1,500.00 totaling
$26,500.00 per month) shall be credited to Odimo, as long as the provisions contained in paragraph
one (1) above are complied with.
FIFTH: In addition to rental monies for the months of November and December 2006, individually
and respectively, Odimo will continue to pay for the months of November and December, individually
and respectively for; (1) a forklift at $300.00 per month, (2) an alarm system service at $294.61
per month, and (3) a concession of $833.33 per month, pursuant to the original lease of January 1,
2006, which is applicable to sales tax and should be added. The total amount of the aforementioned
“other costs,” including $85.68 of sales tax is $1,513.62 per month. Odimo shall cover the costs of
security personnel in the event Odimo operates past the normal business hours of 6:30 p.m. Monday
through Friday.
SIXTH: Pursuant to this agreement, Odimo will ensure that all permits shall be closed by the
end of this lease and all contractors must be paid in full. IBB and Odimo have knowledge that Xx
Xxxxx Inc. installed the air conditioning unit in the computer room and that he still has an open
permit that has not been paid in full by Odimo. All permits must be closed and delivered to the
landlord’s representative Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx on or before December 15, 2006. In the event Odimo does
not provide to IBB a full and accurate release of all liens incurred to the property by December
15, 2006, then Odimo must place $10,000.00 into an escrow account, with Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx and Agnetti,
P.A., (the “Escrow Agent”) to ensure full payment of those debts and liens. Odimo represents that
there is no more than $10,000.00 owed as outstanding debt for any and all debts owed to
contractors, including but not limited to Xx Xxxxx Inc.
SEVENTH: Odimo will continue to keep appropriate and adequate insurance until the original
lease dated January 1, 2006 has officially been terminated, and provide proof thereof upon the
execution of this agreement.
EIGHTH: If Odimo is completely vacated from the building and after IBB’s walk-through results
in approval by November 30, 2006, then Odimo will not be responsible for December 2006 rent. IBB
shall pay Odimo an amount equal to $854.84 for each day that Odimo has completely vacated the
building prior to December 31, 2006, for the month of December only.
NINTH: Odimo will leave two air conditioning units installed in the computer room, one ceiling
fan installed, and two liebert units, one in the computer room and one in the telecom room. All
2
aforementioned units will become part of the property and hence the property of IBB. Odimo has
already provided a letter stating that upon Odimo vacating the premises the two air conditioning
units that were installed previously in the computer room are now the property of IBB.
TENTH: Odimo must leave cubicles that are owned by IBB in place and cubicles that were set up
by Odimo may be removed, but must be replaced with original cubicles that were in respective areas
prior to when Odimo moved in. IBB agrees that the issue can be satisfied if Odimo wishes to leave
their cubicles in place.
ELEVENTH: At the end of the original lease dated January 1, 2006, Odimo will return the
forklift which it is currently renting. The forklift must be returned in good working condition.
TWELFTH: All garbage must be removed, the compactor must be emptied and the furniture that
belongs to Odimo must also be removed unless approved by IBB in advance, and if approved, said
property will immediately become the property of IBB.
THIRTEENTH: Pursuant to page 17, paragraph 31, sections A, B, and C of the original lease
dated January 1, 2006, titled “Surrender or Premises: Holding Over” provides for IBB to conduct a
walk-through of the property to determine at IBB’s discretion that the property is free from
damages.
FOURTEENTH: Odimo must remove all containers in the warehouse in which inventory was stored.
The racking system (mezzanine) that is used for storage of merchandise may be removed, and if not
removed, shall become part of the property of IBB. To the extent Odimo removes the mezzanine ,
Odimo must pull all permits, including demolition permits if necessary, that are required by the
City of Sunrise, use licensed and insured (including workers compensation insurance) contractors
to remove the mezzanine and sprinkler heads, including electrical and anything else that is
involved in this matter.
FIFTEENTH: This is to be the entire Agreement between the parties. Any modifications pursuant
to this Agreement must be in writing and dated and signed by both parties as is stated in paragraph
thirty-five (35) of the original lease signed and dated January 1, 2006.
SIXTEENTH: All other provisions of the lease dated January 1, 2006 to the extent that they do
not conflict with this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect until terminated upon the
payment of the $579,327.33.
SEVENTEENTH: The Parties represent and agree that they have thoroughly discussed all aspects
of this Agreement with their attorneys and have carefully read and fully understand all of the
provisions of this Agreement, and that they are voluntarily entering into this Agreement.
3
EIGHTEENTH: The Parties hereto represent and acknowledge that in executing this Agreement they
do not rely and have not relied on any representation or statement made by and of the Parties or by
any of the Parties’ agents, representatives, or attorneys with regard to the subject matter,
basis, or effect of this Agreement or otherwise, other than those specifically stated in this
written Agreement.
NINETEENTH: Should any provision of this Agreement be declared or be determined by any court
of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, unethical, or unenforceable, the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining parts, terms or provisions shall not be affected
thereby, and the illegal, unenforceable, unethical or invalid part, term, or provision shall be
deemed not to be part of this Agreement.
TWENTIETH: Any disputes that arise under this Agreement and any issues that arise
regarding the entering into, the validity, and/or execution of this Agreement, will be settled in
accordance with Florida law. If any part of this Agreement violates a provision of applicable
Florida law, the applicable Florida law will control. In such a case, however, the remainder of
this Agreement shall remain in force and effect.
TWENTY-FIRST: Any claim or controversy arising out of, or relating to, this Modification and
Settlement Agreement, the prevailing party, will be awarded reasonable attorney’s fees, costs
and expenses.
