Then do it by check. Lotito’s preferences should be irrelevant to us.

I don't want to speak for all, but I am pretty sure payment by check would be highly preferred by us.  We have no interest in paying the wiring fees.  Let me know if that is a problem.  We already have this month's check written and ready to go so it will arrive by August 1st.

FYI – Lotito is requesting that he receive settlement payments in wire transfers going forward; however, as you can see below, all he can do is request such payments.  We can keep sending regular checks if we so choose.

Dear Mr. Merley: After carefully reading the section 1 .1 iv of the settlement agreement, I agree with your email regarding regular check payments. Therefore, consider it a request and I would prefer a wire transfer. However,  of course your client may use any method they choose.

 

Thank you

 

Tony Lotito

Mr. Lotito:

 

I write to clarify one point in your email to Nicholas Gravante, below.  As you know, Article 1.2 of the Settlement Agreement allows our clients to make monthly payments by, among other things, regular check.  For this reason, we construe your July 27, 2010 email to be your request that our clients send payments directly to you, at the address you have provided, below.  I also note that this appears to be the same information you sent to Mr. Gravante and Mr. Wille in your July 19, 2010 letter, which I have attached.  Based on your July 19 letter and July 27 email, and Mr. Wille’s July 19 email (also attached), we understand that neither Brian Wille nor Kostelanetz & Fink represent you at this time, and that they have no right or claim to any remaining payments to be made pursuant to the Settlement Agreement; thus, any payments, notices, or other communications to be sent pursuant to Articles 1.2 or 8.6 of the Settlement Agreement will, going forward, be sent directly to you. 

 

Sincerely yours,

Mike

Mr. Gravante:  Thank you for taking the time to take my call today and

discussing the issue at hand regarding Lotito v Biden settlement matters.

 

As we discussed today, and according to the terms of the settlement agreement,

Payments are due on the 1st of each month. Assuming the Bidens made their July

payment the next payment is due August 1st, 2010 and then each month thereafter

on the first of each month through January 1, 2012.

 

Below is the address for the delivery of a hard check required in certified

funds or in the alternative by wire to the bank account designated below.

 

I trust this will suffice based on today's conversation.

 

Sincerely,

 

Anthony Lotito
