of this Judgment. A blank Joint Check Agreement shall be provided to Defendant upon 

commencement of work on any projects. 

 (g) In addition to the payments set forth above, Defendants agree that Plaintiffs 

shall also receive 10% (ten percent) of any and all progress payments due and payable to

the Judgment is satisfied. Defendants are required to submit copies of all payment requests 

relative to any and all jobs directly to Plaintiffs at the time that the request is submitted, as well as

Plaintiffs can verify the exact amount of each progress payment and its percentage thereof. The

the extent that the waiver is not granted or granted only in part, the liquidated damages that 

remain will be paid by Defendant with the final payment, or, Defendant may continue monthly 

payments as set forth herein at Defendant’s request until the balance is paid in full. 

 Failure to comply with any of the above terms shall also constitute a default of the 

obligations under this Agreement and the provisions of ¶ 11 shall apply. 

 5. In the event that any check paid pursuant to any of the terms hereunder is not 

timely submitted, not timely endorsed (in the case of a Joint Check) submitted by Defendants but 

fails to clear the bank, or is otherwise unable to be negotiated for any reason for which Defendants 

are responsible, this shall be considered to be a default on the Judgment entered. If this occurs, 

Plaintiffs shall make a written demand to Defendants to cure said default. Default will only be
