3.
Should the Quebec Entities default on the payments provided in paragraph 1 of this Settlement Agreement (a “Payment Default”) the Quebec Entities and the Guarantors will be given five (5) to cure said default.  Notice of a Payment Default shall be provided to the Quebec Entities in writing, by e-mail to Benoit Laliberte at blaliberte@teliphone.ca, with a copies to George Metrakos at george.metrakos@gmail.com Domenico Magisano at dmagisano@blaney.com and Bruce O’Toole at BOToole@CMBLaw.ca..
 
4.
Should a Payment Default occur, BMO is entitled to a $750.00 administrative charge payable by bank draft or certified cheque within five (5) days of BMO providing written notice of the Payment Default.
 
5.
There shall be no interest on the Settlement Amount provided the payments are made on time and not in default. If the Settlement Amount is not paid in accordance with the terms in paragraph 1 above and are not cured pursuant to the curative provisions in paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 above, interest will accrue on any amounts outstanding at a rate of six percent (6%) per annum.
 
6.
Should there be a Payment Default that is not cured by the curative provisions in paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 above, the Quebec Entities consent to judgment in the Action for the full amount of the claim less any amounts recovered through this Settlement Agreement.  The Parties shall agree to the form and content of the judgment in the Action
 
7.
As security for payment of the Settlement Amount, the Guarantors Gilles Polliquin and George Metrakos, shall guarantee payment of the Settlement Amount less any amounts previously remitted pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Settlement Agreement.  Said guarantee shall be limited in duration to the first twelve (12) months following execution of this Settlement Agreement.

As further security for payment of the Settlement Amount, the Guarantor Teliphone Corp. shall guarantee payment of the Settlement Amount less any amounts previously remitted pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Settlement Agreement for the duration of this Settlement Agreement.
 
9.
Upon receipt of the Settlement Amount in full both the Release and the Consent Dismissal shall be released from escrow and BMO will consent to a dismissal of the Claim of BMO as against the Quebec Entities and Guarantors without costs and the Order shall be obtained by the solicitors for the Quebec Entities and Guarantors;
 
10.
BMO shall make reasonable efforts to recover the amounts claimed in the Action from third parties including, but not limited to, the defendants in the Action who are not the Quebec Entities.  For greater certainty, “reasonable efforts” shall be determined by BMO, in its sole discretion.
 
11.
To the extent that BMO is able to recover an amount that is in excess of the amounts claimed in the Action less the Settlement Amount, BMO will remit that surplus to the Teliphone Corp., or as it may direct up to a maximum of $375,000.00.
