1 Trust Funds. A copy of the contribution report and payment check must be faxed timely to Blake 2 E. Williams at 415-882-9287. 3 7. Failure by Defendant/Guarantor to remain current in reporting or payment of

4 contributions shall constitute a default of the obligations under this agreement and the provisions 5 of ¶10 shall apply. Any such unpaid or late paid contributions, together with 20% liquidated 6 damages and 5% per annum interest accrued on the total contributions and liquidated damages, 7 shall be added to and become a part of this Judgment and subject to the terms herein.

Defendant/Guarantor specifically waives the defense of the doctrine res judicata 13 as to any such additional amounts determined as due. 14 8. In the event that Defendant/Guarantor fails to make any payment referenced herein

Defendant/Guarantor specifically consents to the authority of a Magistrate Judge 9 for all proceedings, including, but not limited to, Plaintiffs' obtaining a writ of execution herein; 10 (c) Defendant/Guarantor expressly waives all rights to stay of execution and

15 incurred by Plaintiffs in connection with collection and allocation of the amounts owed to 16 Plaintiffs under this Stipulation regardless of whether or not Defendant/Guarantor defaults herein. 17 11. In the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by the Defendant/Guarantor, the

18 parties agree that any payments made pursuant to the terms of this Judgment, shall be deemed to 19 have been made in the ordinary course of business as provided under 11 U.S.C. Section 547(c)(2) 20 and shall not be claimed by Defendant/Guarantor as a preference under 11 U.S.C. Section 547 or 21 otherwise. Defendant/Guarantor nevertheless represents that no bankruptcy filing is anticipated. 22 12. Any failure on the part of the Plaintiffs to take any action against

23 Defendant/Guarantor as provided herein in the event of any breach of the provisions of this 24 Stipulation shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Defendant/Guarantor of 25 any provisions herein. 26 13.

27 competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the legality, validity, and 28
