2. In the event FM fail to strictly comply with the provisions of paragraph 3 hereof, judgment shall be entered in favor of Xerox and against FM in the sum of $550,000.00 (five hundred fifty thousand dollars), less all amounts that are indeed paid by FM under this stipulation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while FWG is liable for any and all amounts due hereunder, Motekaitis' personal liability is limited to $166,000.00 (one hundred sixty six thousand dollars) of the amounts due and owing hereunder, whether it be $166,000.00 (one hundred sixty six thousand dollars) of the settlement amount, $166,000.00 (one hundred sixty six thousand dollars) of the default amount or $166,000.00 (one hundred sixty six thousand dollars) of any other amount that my be due hereunder.
3. Judgment shall not be entered so long as FM strictly comply with the following payment schedule:
(a) FM shall pay to Xerox the sum of $400,000.00 (four hundred thousand dollars) no later than December 28, 2005.
Said $400,000.00 payment shall be made payable to "Spector Bennett Trust Account" and forwarded to Xerox's attorneys of record, Spector Bennett, A Professional Corporation, located at 50 California Street, 15th Floor, San Francisco, California 94111. Said tender shall be made by cashier's check only. A tender by any other means shall be deemed hereunder as the equivalent of no tender at all, enabling Xerox to enter judgment as provided for herein. FM may, however, at their option, submit the payment by wire transfer to Spector Bennett's attorney-client trust account (under separate cover Xerox shall provide FM with Spector Bennett's attorney-client trust account wire information forthwith). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent there is a default in payment hereunder, the sum of $550,000.00 (five hundred fifty thousand dollars) less any amounts paid to Xerox hreunder, shall immediately become due and payable. Xerox does not waive its right to declare FM in default by accepting payments subsequent to an earlier default by FM.

FM hereby waive in favor of Xerox any right, title or interest which they may maintain to the Equipment to be Returned.
4. A declaration by Xerox's counsel to the effect that a payment was not received as provided for herein shall constitute prima facie evidence of default and shall be deemed sufficient evidence and cause for the court to enter judgment forthwith. Counsel for FM, DIEMER, WHITMAN CARDOSI, LLP, shall be served with any application for entry of judgment.
5. Xerox does not waive its right to declare this stipulation in default by accepting payments subsequent to an earlier default by FM.
