Defendants/Guarantor as to the final amount due, including additional interest, any current contributions 

and related amounts, Defendants’ bond requirement, if unpaid, and all additional attorneys’ fees and 

costs incurred by Plaintiffs, whether or not Defendants default herein. Any additional amounts due shall 

be paid in full with the final stipulated payment.

16. Upon receipt of evidence of Defendants’ required bond, execution of this Stipulation, and 

receipt and bank clearance of the first stipulated payment required herein, Plaintiffs’ Trust Funds will 

provide a letter to the International Training Institute stating that Defendant Bay Area Balancing and

requests for information by the International Training Institute relative to Defendants’ TABB 

Certification.

17. Under the Subscription Agreement, an owner/member is ineligible for health care 

coverage if (s)he fails to make timely contributions currently or in the past. As Defendant Bay Area 

Balancing and Cleanrooms, Inc. failed to make timely contributions, Mark Avila is not eligible for

Stipulation by all parties, the Board of Trustees of Plaintiff Health Care Plan has approved a waiver of 

this provision, allowing Mark Avila to be eligible for health care coverage under the terms of the

protection. In the event that Defendants/Guarantor file for Bankruptcy protection, Defendants/Guarantor 

specifically agree that the amounts due hereunder, which are employee benefits and related sums, shall 

not be dischargeable. Defendants/Guarantor agree to reaffirm this debt, and will not request that the debt

action based on violation of the National Labor Relations Act; and shall not be construed to prohibit the 

Local 104 Releasees, or any of them, from assisting any such employee in the prosecution of any such 

claim.

(d) Except as expressly set forth in this Stipulation, the Local 104 Releasees shall be 

deemed to have expressly waived and relinquished to the fullest extent permitted by law the provisions, 

rights, and/or benefits they might otherwise have had pursuant to Section 1542 of the California Civil 

Code, which provides as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect

et al., Case No. 16-03725 JSW (N.D. Cal.)

23. Should any provisions of this Stipulation be declared or determined by any court of 

competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the legality, validity, and enforceability of 

the remaining parts, terms or provisions shall not be affected thereby and said illegal, unenforceable or 

invalid part, term, or provisions shall be deemed not to be part of this Stipulation. 

24. This Stipulation is limited to the agreement between the parties with respect to the unpaid 

and delinquent contributions and related sums enumerated herein, owed by Defendants to Plaintiffs. 

This Stipulation does not in any manner relate to withdrawal liability claims, if any. Defendants 

acknowledge that Plaintiffs expressly reserve their right to pursue withdrawal liability claims, if any, 

against Defendants and all of their control group members, as provided by Plaintiffs’ Plan documents, 

Trust Agreements incorporated into their Bargaining Agreements, and applicable laws and regulations.

have been made. Any changes to this Stipulation shall be effective only if made in writing and signed by 

all parties hereto. 

26. This Stipulation may be executed in any number of counterparts and by facsimile, each of 

which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute the same instrument.
