On March 27, 1997, Larry Shoemaker from Nitterhouse contacted Jeff Packard from Poole and informed him that Nitterhouse could not provide the plank for the Wingate Inn 2 project until August 1, 1997 since they had received several other large orders which made th/!J previously agreed upon delivery in May 1997 "impossible." 13. On March 28, 1997, Richard D. Poole confirmed the events described above in a letter to William Nitterhouse, Vice President of Nitterhouse. A copy of this letter is attached hereto as Exhibit "F". 14.

The contract which Poole issued to Stresscon was for. $248,000. 16.

'-' 4, Dy Plaintiff's failure to specify the source. nature 01' amount of these additional costs, Defendant is placed in a position where it Is uncertain as to what allegations it is defending against in tcrms of damages, 5, Defendant is entitled 10 know the source of Ihe damagcs being sought against it. 6, It is necessary for the Plaintiff to state the amount and source of the damages with specificity in this action as the jurisdictional amount for arbitration is in question in this litigation, 7, Defendant, while denying any liability, is aware only of a claim for damages by Plaintiff in the amount of $15,000,00. a sum thaI would plaee this case within the arbitration limit of jurisdiction in Cumberland County, 8, To the extent that the Plaintiff's claim for additional damages in the amount of $29,000.00 is based upon a writing, a copy of that writing must be attached to the Complaint pursllant to Pa, R,C,P, 1019(h), 9, No writing is attached to the Complaint supporting this claim lor an additional $29.000,00 in damages, and thus. Defendant is without proper notice in Plaintiff's Complaint as to what damages it is defending against. 10, In view of the above. Defendant raises insufficient specificity in a pleading as a grounds for preliminary objection, as well as the failure of the pleading to conform to Pa, R,C,P, 1019(h), 2 SHERIFF1S OFFICE 157 LINCOLN WAY EAST, CHAMBERSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA 17201 (/17) 261.3877 II~STflUC.TIO.

Larry and Dick confirmed that after our verbal order of 3/14/97 and written order of 3/20/97 they received several large orders; which, they then accepted and which now made it impossible for Nitterhouse to deliver plank until August, 1997. Lany and Dick confirmed the fact that their acceptance of other work after our verbal order on 3/14/97 was the reason they could not peliorm the work as agreed. The known impact of your actions are noted as follows: 1. Based on your proposal of $233,000, Richard D. Poole, Inc, included that amount Into Its bonded proposal to the Owner as the co!:!t of that work. This proposal has been accepted by the Owners and the project awarded to Richard D. Poole. \nc, 2. Based on your decision not to perform the work of your proposal as agreed, Richard D. Poole, Inc. is forced to pay an additional sum of $15,000 to retain the second bidder (Stresscon, Inc,) to do the same work. 3. Your unilateral decision to cancel our Agreement on March 27, 1997, seven days after written notice of award and thirteen days after verbal award, has cost us a minimum of seven lost days to the schedule's critical path on a project with a $1 ,ODD/day penalty, " , 2 YERIFIt;'AT,1QN I, ROBERT J.
