STIPULATED JUDGMENT

4. The Fryer Defendants remitted $55,311.74 to Stipulating Plaintiffs subsequent to 

the execution of the Agreement. Said remittances were applied toward the above liabilities 

pursuant to the method stated in the Agreement, leaving an outstanding balance of $114,419.20 

as of the date of this Stipulated Judgment.

5. The Agreement further provides that the Stipulating Plaintiffs shall have the right 

to audit Fryer Roofing’s records for the months at issue, and collect all additional amounts 

determined to be owed.

6. The Agreement further provides that the Stipulating Plaintiffs shall not take any 

steps to enforce this Judgment so long as the Fryer Defendants fully comply with their 

obligations under the Agreement, and only after the requisite Notice of Breach has been 

provided, and the opportunity to cure has lapsed.

7. The Agreement further provides that the United States District Court, Eastern 

District of California, Fresno Division, shall retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the 

Agreement and this Judgment.

8. The Agreement further provides that the Parties expressly and irrevocably consent 

to the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge (to the extent they have not already done so), to issue 

this Judgment, and any findings or orders necessary to enforce the Agreement or Judgment.

10. Defendant Old Republic Surety Company has indicated that it will disburse or 

interplead the bond proceeds applicable to the present action. Stipulating Plaintiffs are informed 

and believe that such disbursement or interpleader will exonerate Old Republic from liability 

herein, and will dismiss Old Republic accordingly at that time.

11. In the event it becomes necessary to enforce this Judgment, interest shall accrue 

on the Judgment amount at the seven percent (7%) per annum rate specified in the collective 

bargaining agreement. Stipulating Plaintiffs shall be entitled to recover all costs and attorneys’ 

fees incurred by them in enforcing this Judgment.
