COMPLAINT
AND NOW comes the above-named Plaintiff, by its attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
makes the following Complaint against the Defendant:
1. The Plaintiff is DJ Realty Associates, L.L.C., a limited liability company
organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Manager of Plaintiff
is Dorothy A. Nalbandian.
2. The Defendant is John M. Sullivan, M.D., an adult individual who maintains an
office for the conduct of his business, where he may be served, at 1001 South Market
Street, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. On 12 March 2001, Defendant gave Plaintiff a demand note in the amount of
$90,000.00 to secure an obligation and debt which he owed to Plaintiff ("Note"). A copy
of the Note is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit A.
4. Pursuant to the terms of the Note, Plaintiff is entitled to make demand of
payment from Defendant, on or before the 20th day of any month, in an amount necessary
to meet Plaintiff's operating expenses for the following month. When Plaintiff makes
such a demand, Defendant is required to pay the amount demanded on or before the 5th
day of the following month.
§. On 3 May 2002, Plaintiff, through its attorney, made demand upon Defendant
that Defendant pay, on the Note, the sum of $11,000.00 to pay Plaintiff's current
operating expenses, in the form of an obligation to a third party. A copy of Plaintiff's
demand for such payment is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit B.
6. Since Plaintiff's demand letter of 3 May 2002, Plaintiff has made additional
demands upon Defendant for payment of $2,100.00 per month to meet Defendant's
obligations under the Note.
7. To date, Defendant has made no response whatsoever to Plaintiff's demands for
payment under the Note and has not made any of the payment due.
8. Under the terms of the Note, Defendant owes interest at the rate of 8% per
annum, commencing on the 10th day after payment is due.
9. Defendant, by failing to meet his obligations under the Note, has defaulted
under that Note as a result, Defendant owes Plaintiff the sum of 811,000.00, plus
interest after 5 June 2002, plus $2,100.00 for each month thereafter, with interest
commencing on each such payment on the 10th day of each such month.
10. As of the present time, Defendant owes Plaintiff the sum of $19,400.00, plus
interest calculated in accordance with the Note. Defendant, by his default of the Note,
has injured Plaintiff in that sum.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant in the amount of
819,400.00, plus interest on that sum in accordance with the terms of the Note attached
to this Complaint, plus costs of suit.

RE: DJ Realty Associates, LLC
Dear Dr. Sullivan:
I represent Dorothy A. Nalbandian, who has recently been elected manager
of the above Company. I write, first, to request that you provide us with an
accounting of the actions you took while you served as manager of the company,
from its inception to the present. We are particularly interested in knowing what
funds and other assets you received and administered and what payments you
made from those funds while you served as manager. In particular, we would like
to have copies of all of the bar:k statements, canceled checks, deposit slips, and
check registries for any bank account you managed or operated for the company.
We need this information so that Mrs. Nalbandian can assume her responsibilities
as manager and we request that you get this information to us promptly.
I also write to make formal demand on the demand note you gave the
Company dated 12 March 2001 in the original principal amount of $90,000.00. At
this time we calculate that Company requires a minimum of $11,000.00 to pay its
current obligations to RSM Associates, L.L.P by 19 May 2002. We expect there
will be other operating expenses we will have to pay, such as real estate taxes, and
other items. When we have your accounting, as requested above, we will be able
to determine that. However, we know we need $11,000.00 on or before 19 May
to meet the current obligation. Please consider this letter the company's formal
demand upon you to make payment of that amount. The payment should be made
to me, as attorney for the company. I will be certain that payments are made to
RSM with the funds you pay to me.
Please give these matters your immediate attention.
Sincerely,
amh
Samuel L. Andes
