Upon receipt of the initial payment, and thereafter provided that payments required by the terms hereof are timely made when due, the Agency shall consider the default by Lighthouse on the 2007 Payment Plan to have been resolved and, other providers that have Thomas Scott as a controlling interest to be eligible for consideration for renewal and continued participation in the Medicaid program henceforth as though no default had occurred, unless and until Lighthouse Community Services, LLC breaches this agreement or other grounds for disqualification or revocation develop, that are not related to the above-referenced payment plan. The remainder of ninety-two thousand, nine hundred fourteen dollars and fifteen cents ($92,914.15), plus interest accrued after February 1, 2014, shall be paid by twelve equal monthly payments made to the
