[I after6~eather-Tech had processed it:t I! The quality of the material did not become evident until Leather-Tech did what could with the processed material, but was forced to replace all customers' orders which used the March 1996 lycra.

Leather-Tech returned a 23 yard sample of material (the unused remainder of the March shipment) and did receive a credit $224.25 from Warshow. (See attachment D). 8.

By way of further answer, Defendant's letter, the original of which is its own best evidence, explains the stretch characteristics that Defendant desires in the lycra material, but makes no reference to a specific quality of material. 3. Admitted in part, but denied as stated. plaintiff admits, upon information and belief, that the material it supplied to Defendant worked well. By way of further answer, plaintiff specifically informed Defendant that it did not have first quality material available for the March 1996 shipment; Defendant agreed to accept the second quality material with knowledge of the potential for imperfections. plaintiff supplied Defendant with the second quality material that it indicated to Defendant it had available. Seconds are sold "as is" with no returns or allowances at the price of $9.75 per yard, as is indicated on the attached Exhibit "1", which is attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference. After receiving and accepting the March shipment, Defendant ordered additional material from plaintiff, when plaintiff had first quality material available. Said first quality material was ordered by Defendant and shipped by plaintiff, as is evidenced by the April 9, 1996 invoice, which has been marked as Exhibit "2", attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference. The first quality material costs $19.50 per yard, as is evidenced by said Exhibit "2". 4. Admitted in part, denied in part. Plaintiff admits that some snags in lycra material are usual. plaintiff specifically denies the remaining allegations appearing in Defendant's paragraph 4 and demands strict proof at trial. By way of further answer, although returns of seconds are usually not accepted, Plaintiff provided Defendant with credit for the material that Defendant returned, as is evidence~ by Plaintiff's Credit Memo, which has been marked as Exhibit "3", attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference. 5. Denied. Plaintiff specifically denies the allegations contained within paragraph 5 of Defendant's Counterclaim and demands strict proof at trial. By way of further answer I Defendant was aware that the material consisted of seconds when Defendant ordered the material and prior to Plaintiff shipping the material to Defendant. Plaintiff was provided notice that the material consisted of seconds through the notation "seconds11 which appeared on Plaintiff's invoice of March 5, 1996, the aforementioned Exhibit "1", and also the significantly lowered price of 1/2 of the cost of first quality material. 6. Denied. Plaintiff specifically denies the allegations contained. within Defendant's paragraph 6 and demands strict proof at trial. By way of further answer, Defendant's Exhibit "C" shows that it replaced 50 yards of material for Irving Tanning Co., 31.12 yards for Eagle Tanning Company, and 14.78 yards for Sal-Tan Leathers, Inc., which would total 95.90 yards of material. Defendant returned an additional 23 yard to Plaintiff, for which Plaintiff provided Defendant with appropriate credit. This leaves 89.1 yards of material from the March, 1996 shipment, for which Defendant has not accounted. Additionally, Defendant has failed to account for the 200 yards that it ordered and accepted from Plaintiff in April, 1996, and for which Defendant has failed to pay Plaintiff, with no justification. 7. Admitted in part, denied in part. Plaintiff admitn that it provided credit to Defendant for all of the material that Defendant returned to Plaintiff as unacceptable. Defendant was credited the amount of $224.25 for the material Defendant returned, which consisted of 23 yards of material. Plaintiff specifically denies any allegations to the contrary which appear in paragraph 7 of Defendant's Counterclaim. 8. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Plaintiff is without sufficient knowledge or information upon which to form a belief as to the truth of the allegations contained within paragraph 8 of Defendant's Counterclaim, therefore denies same and demands strict proof at trial. By way of further answer, Plaintiff admits that the invoices which are attached to the Counterclaim as Defendant's Exhibit "CII total 95.9 yards. Plaintiff specifically denies that 95.9 yards accounts for the entire March order and further denies that it addresses the April order of 200 yards of material. 9. Admitted in part, denied as stated. Plaintiff admits that Defendant requests, in its letter of May 7, 1997, credit for the entire March 5, 1996 shipment. By way of further answer, Plaintiff provided Defendant for credit for all material that Defendant returned to Plaintiff, as is stated in the paragraphs above. Defendant's May 7, 1997 letter also states that Defendant would send to Plaintiff three postdated checks for the invoice number 78852, which is attached hereto as Exhibit "2". Defendant has simply failed to send these checks to Plaintiff. 10. Denied. Plaintiff specifically denies the allegations contained within paragraph 10 of Defendant's Counterclaim and demands strict proof at trial. By way of . , further answer, Plaintiff Dpecifically denieD that Defendant incurred Dubstantial costs or lost business as a result of Plaintiff's actions or the material that Defendant ordered from Plaintiff. Defendant has provided Plaintiff with no proof of lost business which would be attributable to Plaintiff. Even after the March, 1996 order, Defendant continued to order material from Plaintiff; Defendant' A Exhibit "EII admits that Defendant owes Plaintiff $3,934.28 for invoice number 78852 and fails to mention any damages sustained by Defendant. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, by and through its undersigned counsel, Bernstein, Bernstein & Krawec, P. C., respectfully requests this Honorable Court to dismiss Defendant's Counterclaim, and to take all other action in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendant as is deemed just and appropriate, under the circumstances.
