“Plaintiffs”) and defendant Sierra Environmental Management Corporation (“Defendant”) as

follows:

This stipulation is entered into by and between the parties in order to settle and conclude the

above-entitled litigation between the parties relating to the payment of fringe benefit contributions

by Defendant to Plaintiffs. This stipulation applies only to unpaid contributions by Defendant for the

period from January 2005 through September 2005.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED that, subject to the approval and order of the

Court, that judgment be entered in favor of Plaintiffs and against Defendant, effective upon the date

this order is executed by the Court, in the sum set forth in Exhibit “A,” which is attached hereto and

incorporated herein by reference. Such sum consists of the full principal amount of delinquent

contributions, liquidated damages, interest at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum, and costs

and attorneys’ fees incurred by Plaintiffs to date.

IT IS STIPULATED, however, that judgment pursuant to this Stipulation shall be satisfied

upon payment pursuant to the following terms:

a. Pursuant to this Stipulation, Defendant shall pay no less than seven thousand

dollars ($7,000.00) per month, and every month, until such sum is fully paid, with the first payment

due on or before December 16, 2005. Each subsequent monthly payment shall be for the same

amount, due on the 16th day of each month thereafter, until all delinquent contributions, liquidated

damages, interest, costs and attorneys’ fees are paid in full. 

b. Pursuant to the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement between

Plaintiffs and Defendant, Defendant shall submit all future monthly reports in a timely manner, and

pay all fringe benefit contributions to Plaintiffs on or before the date they are due.

Failure to make any of the payments described in Paragraph 3 above, including its subparts,

or failure to submit future monthly reports in a timely manner, shall be considered an event of default

under this Stipulation. Any default shall entitle Plaintiffs to execute the judgment attached hereto

as Exhibit “A” for the full amount of $40,431.78. Furthermore, upon default, Plaintiffs shall be

entitled to apply to the court ex parte, and without notice to Defendant, for any writs or orders

necessary to judicially enforce the full amount of the judgment as stated in Exhibit “A.”

Any execution of judgment entered pursuant to this Stipulation is subject to offsets from

payments made prior to the said execution of judgment. Upon the successful completion of the

payments and conditions stated in paragraph 3 of this Stipulation, Plaintiffs shall submit satisfaction

of judgment.
