Keystone has substantially performed all of its obligations owed to Defendant and has delivered to Defendant, through Petroleum Capital Company, regular invoices and demand letters requesting payment for the installation work performed. See Exhibits "B" and "C". 23. It was reasonable for Defendant to expect that its promise to pay for Keystone's performance of the installation work would induce Keystone to perform the installation work. 24. Keystone relied upon Defendant's promise to pay for the installation work and Keystone fully performed. 4 25. As a direct and proximate cause of Keystone's reliance on Defendant's promise to pay, Defendant has benefited at Keystone's expense by failing to pay $83,776.00 to Keystone in exchange for Keystone's installation work. 26. Injustice will result if Defendant promises to pay Keystone is not enforced.

("Keystone") in connection with an unpaid debt owed to Keystone by USA Grocers. In particular, USA Grocers owes Keystone $248,590.50 as of March 19, 2001; as set forth in the enclosed Invoices for equipment and labor for completed work at various station locations. Your agreement with Keystone required that these jobs be paid upon completion. To that end, you will soon received additional Invoices for other jobs that you contracted with Keystone for that either have been fuushed or, in the case of the final j ob, will be completed by next week. Unless you resolve these unpaid Invoices with Keystone promptly, Keystone will be forced to pursue litigation to recover these amounts. In addition, Keystone will consider all of the remedies available to it for purposes of collection, including, but not limited to, a mechanics' lien claim'and the recovery of costs and attorneys' fees. I trust that you will not make this necessary. Very truly yours, BROADS & SINON LLP sy. ~IS~&~~1~ Kevin M. Gold KMGlsbc cc: Akhtar Syed, Penn Petroco, Inc. (Via Federal Express) John J.

Jaferi, President Penn Petroco, Inc. d/b/a USA Grocers 7284 West Palmetto Park Road Suite 101 South Boca Raton, FL 33433-3406 This Firm represents Keystone Petroleum Equipment, Ltd. ("Keystone") in connection with an unpaid debt owed to Keystone by USA Grocers. In particular, USA Grocers owes Keystone $88,225 for equipment and labor provided by Keystone at various Pennsylvania station locations. In particular, there remains an outstanding balance of $57,6]0 for Job I in Berwick; $4,449 for Job 4 in Bloomsburg; and $26,166 for Job 5 in Bethlehem. It is my Understanding that Keystone has not been paid because Petroleum Capital Company is requiring financial information from USA Grocers that has not been forthcoming. As a result, Keystone has asked that I contact all parties in an effort to resolve the unpaid amoLlnts without resort to litigation. However, unless these unpaid amounts are paid to Keystone promptly, Keystone will be forced to pursue litigation to recover the debt. As part of any collection action, Keystone will pursue all of the remedies available to it including, but not limited to, a mechanics' lien and the recovery of its costs and attorneys' fees. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require any additional information that would assist in the prompt resolution of this matter.
