Exhibit 10.32
8% DEMAND PROMISSORY NOTE
Payable on Demand
March 21, 2007   $30,000
     For value received, ODIMO INCORPORATED (“Maker”) promises to pay to ALAN LIPTON or his assigns (“Payee”), at 655 Ocean Blvd., Golden Beach, Florida 33160, the principal sum of THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($30,000).
     1. Interest Rate. This Note shall bear interest from the date hereof at eight percent (8%) per annum, provided however, that in the event of a default the interest rate shall be as more fully set forth in paragraph 3 below. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
     2. Payable on Demand. After the date hereof, the principal balance of this Note, together with any interest earned, shall be due and payable in full from Maker, on demand by Payee. Maker shall make all payments hereunder to Payee in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. The maturity of this note may be accelerated by Payee in the event Maker is in breach or default of any of the terms, conditions or covenants of this Note.
     3. Default Rate of Interest. Upon acceleration of maturity, the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note shall bear interest until paid or otherwise satisfied pursuant to Section 5 hereof, at an augmented annual rate (the “Default Rate’’) from and after the stated or accelerated maturity of this Note, or from and after failure to pay on the due date any sum payable under this Note (and the expiration of any applicable grace period). The Default Rate shall equal the lesser of (i) eighteen percent (18%) or (ii) the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable state law, if any.
     4. Rights and Remedies of Payee. Payee shall only be entitled to pursue the rights and remedies provided under this Section 4 of this Note. Payee’s delay in exercising or failure to exercise any rights or remedies to which Payee may be entitled in the event of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default, whether of the same or a different nature, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy by Payee preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No waiver of any right or remedy by Payee shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by Payee, nor shall any waiver on one occasion apply to any future occasion, but shall be effective only with respect to the specific occasion addressed in that signed writing.
     5. Attorney’s Fees. If this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal proceeding, Maker promises to pay Payee’s costs, disbursements and attorney’s fees incurred in connection therewith, including those incurred for post judgment, appellate, bankruptcy or administrative proceedings.
     6. Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any agreed or actual exaction charged, reserved or taken as an advance or forbearance by Payee as consideration for or pursuant to this Note exceed the limits imposed or provided by the law applicable from time to time to the Indebtedness, (if any), for the use or detention of money or for forbearance in seeking its collection; Payee hereby waives any right to demand such excess. In the event that the interest provisions of this Note or any exactions provided for in this Note shall result at any time or for any reason in an effective rate of interest that

exceeds the limits of the applicable law, then without further agreement or notice the interest obligation(s) shall be automatically reduced to such limit and all sums received by Payee in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest shall be applied against principal immediately upon Payee’s receipt thereof, with the same force and effect as though the Maker had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and Payee had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment or prepayments. During any time that the Indebtedness bears interest at the maximum lawful rate (whether by application of this paragraph, the Default Rate provisions of this Note, or otherwise), interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and the actual number of days in the respective calendar year.
     7. Waivers. MAKER HEREBY WAIVES DEMAND, PRESENTMENT, PROTEST AND NOTICE OF DISHONOR, WAIVES SUIT AGAINST OR JOINDER OF ANY OTHER PERSON, WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN, WAIVES THE RIGHT TO INTERPOSE ANY SET-OFF OR NON-COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM OR TO PLEAD LACHES OR ANY STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS AS A DEFENSE IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, WAIVES ANY IMMUNITY OR EXEMPTION OF ANY PROPERTY FROM GARNISHMENT OR LEVY OR EXECUTION OR SEIZURE OR ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO OR IN EXECUTION OF JUDGEMENT.

THE WAIVER CONTAINED HEREIN IS IRREVOCABLE, CONSTITUTES A KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY WAIVER, AND SHALL BE SUBJECT TO NO EXCEPTIONS.

     9. Severability. Any provision of this Note which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction only, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
     10. Time of Essence. Time shall be of the essence with respect to the terms of this Note.
     11. Binding Effect. All of the terms of this Note shall be binding upon Maker and Maker’s successors and assigns, jointly and severally.
