Heading: timely payment of $49,000

Text: Fitzgeralds' next claim is that Corbett and Gurr breached the settlement agreement by failing to pay the $49,000 on September 10, 1982, as specified in the agreement. In fact, the $49,000 was tendered by Corbett and Gurr and accepted by Fitzgeralds on November 2, 1982. Fitzgeralds' acceptance of the late $49,000 payment constituted a waiver of any breach by reason of a late payment. [20] We find Fitzgeralds' argument that the $49,000 payment accepted by Fitzgeralds on November 2, 1982, was applicable to another underlying contract and not to the settlement agreement to be without merit.
