shall, upon execution by all parties, supersede the prior Stipulation, and become the operative document
between the Parties as follows:
1. 	Defendant Cold Craft is signatory to and bound by the terms of Collective Bargaining
Agreement (“Bargaining Agreement”) with the Sheet Metal Workers International Association Local
Union No. 104 (the “Union”). The Bargaining Agreement is still in full force and effect.
2. 	Daryl Demanawa confirms that he is the President of Defendant Cold Craft, Inc. and is
authorized to enter into this Stipulation on behalf of Defendant Cold Craft.
3. 	Daryl Demanawa also confirms that he is personally guaranteeing the amounts due herein
and confirms that he shall be added as a Defendant to the above-captioned action. Defendant/Guarantor
Daryl Demanawa and Defendant Cold Craft, specifically consent to the Court’s jurisdiction, as well as
to the use of a Magistrate Judge for all proceedings, including entry of judgment herein. Defendants
further confirm that all successors in interest, assignees, and affiliated entities (including, but not limited
to, parent or other controlling companies), and any companies with which Defendant Cold Craft joins
or merges, if any, shall also be bound by the terms of this Stipulation as Guarantors. This shall include
any additional entities in which Guarantor is an officer, owner or possesses any controlling ownership
interest. All such entities shall specifically consent to the Court’s jurisdiction, the use of a Magistrate
Judge for all proceedings, and all other terms herein, in writing, at the time of any assignment, affiliation
or purchase, and if they do not, shall nevertheless be bound to the terms of this Stipulation. Defendants

entities may be added to this Stipulation by Plaintiffs through a noticed motion before this Court or any
other court of competent jurisdiction.
4. 	A Judgment Pursuant to Stipulation was entered into by the Parties on April 3, 2024. An
Amended Judgment Pursuant to Stipulation was entered into by the Parties on December 19, 2024, but
Defendants defaulted and then failed to cure their default under that Stipulation. Accordingly, Plaintiffs
obtained a Writ of Execution.

10. 	Failure to comply with any of the above terms, including submitting a payment that does
not clear the bank, or failing to endorse a joint check provided for the payment of amounts due under
the terms of this Stipulation including current contributions, shall constitute a default of the obligations
under this Stipulation.
DEFAULTS UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS STIPULATION
11. 	If default occurs, Plaintiffs shall make a written demand to Defendants to cure said default
within seven (7) days of the date of the notice 	from Plaintiffs. In the event default is not cured within
the required time frame, all amounts remaining due hereunder (after application of principal payments
made, if any) shall be due and payable on demand by Plaintiffs. These amounts shall include any
conditionally waived liquidated damages, additional (current) contributions/liquidated damages/interest
(if applicable), and additional attorney’s fees and costs incurred herein.
12. 	Any unpaid or late-paid contributions, together with 20% liquidated damages and 10%
per annum interest, shall become part of this Judgment. Plaintiffs reserve all rights available to collect
any contributions and related amounts not included herein. This includes, but is not limited to, any
amounts due pursuant to employee timecards or paystubs, by audit, or other means. Should Defendants
fail to submit a report for any month, contributions shall be estimated pursuant to Trust Fund policy.
Defendants specifically waive the defense of the doctrine 	res judicata 	as to any such additional amounts
determined as due.
13. 	A Writ of Execution may be obtained without further notice, in the amount of the unpaid
balance plus any additional amounts due under the terms herein. Such Writ of Execution may be
obtained solely upon declaration by a duly authorized representative of Plaintiffs setting forth the
balance due as of the date of default.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
14. 	The above requirements remain in full force and effect regardless of whether or not
Defendants have ongoing work, whether Defendants’ account with the Trust Funds is active, or whether
Defendants are signatories to a Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Union. If, for any reason,
Defendants have no work to report during a given month, Defendants shall submit the job report form
(Exhibit A attached hereto) indicating that there are no current jobs. If Defendants are required to
contribute and have no contributions to report, Defendants shall submit the applicable contribution
report stating, “no employees.”
15. 	Payments made by joint check shall be endorsed on behalf of Defendants prior to
submission, and may be applied toward Defendants’ monthly stipulated payment, provided that the
issuer of the joint check is not requesting a release in exchange for the payment. Joint checks for which
a release is requested may not be applied toward Defendants’ monthly stipulated payment but shall be
deducted from the total balance owed under this Stipulation, provided the payment is for contributions
included in this Stipulation.
16. 	Prior to the last payment pursuant to this Stipulation, Plaintiffs shall advise Defendants
as to the final amount due, including additional interest, any current contributions and related amounts,
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 due before
October 22, 2025.
17. 	The conditional waiver of liquidated damages shall be presented to the Board of Trustees
for consideration only after all amounts due under the terms of this Stipulation are paid in full, and
Defendant Cold Craft’s account is otherwise current. If the waiver is granted, a Satisfaction of Judgment
will be filed with the Court once all payments have cleared the bank. If the waiver is not granted, the
liquidated damages will be immediately due. The waiver may be granted with further conditions, such
as paying timely and remaining current for an additional period of time.
18. 	Defendants waive any notice of Entry of Judgment or of any Request for a Writ of
Execution, and expressly waive all rights to stay of execution and appeal.
19. 	Any failure on the part of Plaintiffs to take any action as provided herein in the event of

the event that Defendants file for Bankruptcy protection, Defendants specifically agree that the amounts
due hereunder, which are employee benefits and related sums, shall not be dischargeable. Defendants
agree to reaffirm this debt and will not request that the debt be discharged.
21. 	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.
22. 	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 control group members, as provided by Plaintiffs’ Plan documents, Trust
Agreements incorporated into their Bargaining Agreements, and applicable laws and regulations. The
parties to this Stipulation understand and agree that nothing contained herein shall in any manner relate
to or otherwise limit the obligations of Defendants with respect to the assessment and collection of
withdrawal liability pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 1381 et seq.
23. 	This Stipulation contains all of the terms agreed to by the parties and no other agreements
have been made. Any changes to this Stipulation shall be effective only if made in writing and signed
by all parties hereto.
24. 	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.
25. 	Defendants represent and warrant that they have had the opportunity to be or have been
represented by counsel of their own choosing in connection with entering this Stipulation under the
terms and conditions set forth herein, that they have read this Stipulation with care and are fully aware
of and represent that they enter into this Stipulation voluntarily and without duress.
