CIVIL ACTION -LAW
PLAINTIFF'S REPLY TO PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, Pennsy Supply, Inc., by and through its attorneys,
HANDLER, HENNING & ROSENBERG, by W. Scott Henning, Esquire, respectfully replies
to the Defendant's Preliminary Objections as follows:
1. Admitted with clarification. The Defendant refers to the Complaint in
Paragraph 1. To the extent that the Complaint is a writing, it speaks for itself and should
be read and interpreted in its entirety.
I. DEMURRER
2. Paragraph 2 is an incorporation paragraph to which no responsive pleading
is required.
3. The allegation set forth in Paragraph 3 is somewhat garbled, however, to the
extent that the Defendant is simply endeavoring to make reference to the attachment of
the Joint Check Agreement as an exhibit to the Preliminary Objections, there is no need
to admit or deny Paragraph 3. By way of further answer, the Joint Check Agreement was
not attached to the copy of the Preliminary Objections received by Plaintiffs counsel.
4. Denied. The allegation set forth in Paragraph 4 is a recitation of a portion of
the Joint Check Agreement. The Agreement being a writing, speaks for itself and should
be read and interpreted as a whole.
5. Denied. The allegation set forth in Paragraph 5 is a conclusion of law to
which no responsive pleading is required, however, to the extent that the Honorable Court
deems a response necessary, the Plaintiff asserts that the Agreement, read as a whole,
does not obligate the Defendants to issue a joint check only if there is a specific request
of the subcontractor. Byway of further answer, even if the Court determines that this is
a reasonable interpretation ofthe Agreement, the Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that
the subcontractor, Bryan A. Ziegler Excavating, Inc. by and through its employees, agents
and representatives made requests upon the Defendant to issue joint checks upon the
submission of billing statements.
6. Denied. The allegation set forth in Paragraph 6 is a conclusion of law to
which no responsive pleading is required, however, to the extent that the Honorable Court
deems a response necessary, the Plaintiff asserts that the Agreement, read as a whole,
does not obligate the Defendants to issue a joint check only if there is a specific request
-2-
of the subcontractor. By way of further answer, even if the Court determines that this is
a reasonable interpretation of the Agreement, the Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that
the subcontractor, Bryan A. Ziegler Excavating, Inc. by and through its employees, agents
and representatives made requests upon the Defendant to issue joint checks upon the
submission of billing statements.
7. Denied. The allegation set forth in Paragraph 7 is a conclusion of law to
which no responsive pleading is required, however, to the extent that the Honorable Court
deems a response necessary, the Plaintiff asserts that the Agreement, read as a whole,
does not obligate the Defendants to issue a joint check only if there is a specific request
of the subcontractor. Byway of further answer, even if the Court determines that this is
a reasonable interpretation of the Agreement, the Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that
the subcontractor, Bryan A. Ziegler Excavating, Inc. by and through its employees, agents
and representatives made requests upon the Defendant to issue joint checks upon the
submission of billing statements.
8. Denied. The allegation set forth in Paragraph 8 is a conclusion of law to
which no responsive pleading is required, however, to the extent that the Honorable Court
deems a response necessary, the Plaintiff asserts that the Agreement, read as a whole,
does not obligate the Defendants to issue a joint check only if there is a specific request
of the subcontractor. By way of further answer, even if the Court determines that this is
a reasonable interpretation of the Agreement, the Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that
the subcontractor, Bryan A. Ziegler Excavating, Inc. by and through its employees, agents
-3-
and representatives made requests upon the Defendant to issue joint checks upon the
submission of billing statements.
II DEMURRER- FAILURE TO PLEAD IN CONFORMITY WITH RULE OR LAW
9. Paragraph 9 is an incorporation paragraph to which no responsive pleading
is required, however, to the extent applicable, the Plaintiff incorporates its reply to
Paragraph 1 through 8 as those set forth at length herein.
10. Admitted.
11. Admitted.
12. Denied. The allegation set forth in Paragraph 12 is a conclusion of law to
which no responsive pleading is required, however, to the extent that the Honorable Court
deems a response necessary, it is denied that it is necessary for the two documents
impliedly referenced in Paragraph 6 of the Complaint and Paragraph 7 of the Complaint
to be attached to the Complaint in order to comply with Pennsylvania Rule of Civil
Procedure 1019. Byway of further answer, the Plaintiff asserts that the two documents
in question are not within the possession and custody of the Plaintiff, but rather are
documents that are clearly within the possession and/or custody of the Defendant. The
absence of the attachment of those two documents to the Complaint does not in any way
effect the Defendant's ability to understand the nature of the cause of action being
asserted against it or to prepare a proper defense to the cause of action. If in fact the
Defendant is not the general contractor on the subject Project, they can simply deny that
-4-
allegation. Further, if the Defendant did not have a subcontract relationship with Bryan A.
Ziegler Excavating and Paving, Inc., that fact can simply be denied also.
13. Denied. The allegation set forth in Paragraph 13 is a conclusion of law to
which no responsive pleading is required, however, to the extent that the Honorable Court
deems a response necessary, it is denied that it is necessary for the two documents
impliedly referenced in Paragraph 6 of the Complaint and Paragraph 7 of the Complaint
to be attached to the Complaint in order to comply with Pennsylvania Rule of Civil
Procedure 1019. By way of further answer, the Plaintiff asserts that the two documents
in question are not within the possession and custody of the Plaintiff, but rather are
documents that are clearly within the possession and/or custody of the Defendant. The
absence of the attachment of those two documents to the Complaint does not in any way
effect the Defendant's ability to understand the nature of the cause of action being
asserted against it or to prepare a proper defense to the cause of action. If in fact the
Defendant is not the general contractor on the subject Project, they can simply deny that
allegation. Further, if the Defendant did not have a subcontract relationship with Bryan A.
Ziegler Excavating and Paving, Inc., that fact can simply be denied also.
14. Denied. The allegation set forth in Paragraph 14 is a conclusion of law to
which no responsive pleading is required, however, to the extent that the Honorable Court
deems a response necessary, it is denied that it is necessary for the two documents
impliedly referenced in Paragraph 6 of the Complaint and Paragraph 7 of the Complaint
to be attached to the Complaint in order to comply with Pennsylvania Rule of Civil
-5-
Procedure 1019. By way of further answer, the Plaintiff asserts that the two documents
in question are not within the possession and custody of the Plaintiff, but rather are
documents that are clearly within the possession and/or custody of the Defendant. The
absence of the attachment of those two documents to the Complaint does not in any way
effect the Defendant's ability to understand the nature of the cause of action being
asserted against it or to prepare a proper defense to the cause of action. If in fact the
Defendant is not the general contractor on the subject Project, they can simply deny that
allegation. Further, if the Defendant did not have a subcontract relationship with Bryan A.

15. Denied. The allegation set forth in Paragraph 14 is a conclusion of law to
which no responsive pleading is required, however, to the extent that the Honorable Court
deems a response necessary, it is denied that it is necessary for the two documents
impliedly referenced in Paragraph 6 of the Complaint and Paragraph 7 of the Complaint

absence of the attachment of those two documents to the Complaint does not in any way
effect the Defehdant's ability to understand the nature of the cause of action being
asserted against it or to prepare a proper defense to the cause of action. If in fact the
Defendant is not the general contractor on the subject Project, they can simply deny that
-6-
allegation. Further, if the Defendant did not have a subcontract relationship with Bryan A.
Ziegler Excavating and Paving, Inc., that fact can simply be denied also.

CIVIL ACTION -LAW
COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, Pennsy Supply, Inc., by and through its attorneys,
HANDLER, HENNING & ROSENBERG, by W. Scott Henning, Esquire, and makes the within
Complaint against Defendants, as follows:
1. Plaintiff, Pennsy Supply Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Pennsy"), is a Pennsylvania
corporation qualified to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, having its principal
place of business located at 1001 Paxton Street, P.O. Box 3331, Harrisburg, Dauphin County,
Pennsylvania, 17105.
2. Defendant, RVG Management & Development Co. has a place of business located
at 1000 North Front Street, Suite 500, Wormleysburg, PA 17043.
3. Defendant, Hershey GF, LP is a Pennsylvania limited partnership with a registered
office at 1000 North Front Street, suite 240, Wormleysburg, PA 17043.
4. Defendant, Robryce Corp., is a Pennsylvania corporation with a registered office at
1000 North Front Street, Suite 240, Wormleysburg, PA 17043 and which is the General Partner of
Hershey GF, Limited Partnership.
At all times material hereto, Pennsy was a corporation engaged in the business of
selling and supplying construction materials including, but not limited to, stone, asphalt and other
materials related to paving of roadways and driveways.
6. At all times material hereto, RVG was a corporation engaged as a general contractor
on a construction project known as the "Hershey Giant Store Project".
At all times material hereto, RVG had engaged an entered into a subcontract with
Bryan A. Ziegler Excavating & Paving, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Ziegler") to perform
excavating and paving services at the aforesaid project.
8. At all times material hereto, RVG had knowledge that Ziegler subcontracted with
Plaintiff Pennsy to acquire the materials necessary for Ziegler to perform its excavation and paving
job under the terms of the subcontract between Ziegler and RVG.
9. On or about April 16, 2000, by and through its authorized representative, Dennis J.
Schmidt, Partner of RVG Management & Development Co., and also in his capacity as a Partner of
Hershey GF, L.P., entered into an agreement with Ziegler by and through its controller, Sandra K.
Kreiser, whereby RV G agreed to issue joint checks to Ziegler and Pennsy in an amount not to exceed
the sum of $176,637.00. A copy of the Joint Check Agreement is attached hereto and incorporated
herein as Exhibit "A".
-2-
10. The Joint Check Agreement was executed between RV G and Ziegler by and through
their authorized representatives, with the express intention of benefitting Pennsy, such that Pennsy
would be assured of receiving payment for the materials supplied by Pennsy to Ziegler.
11. The aforesaid Joint Check Agreement was a requirement made by Pennsy for the sale
and supply of goods and materials to Ziegler for the Hershey Giant Store project.
12. In executing the Joint Check Agreement, RVG and Ziegler intended to modify the
standard payment provision of the parties' contractual dealings whereby RVG would pay Ziegler
and then Ziegler would in turn pay Pennsy. The Joint Check Agreement created an obligation on
the part of RVG to issue checks jointly payable to Ziegler and Pennsy.
13. Plaintiff, Pennsy supplied materials to the Hershey Giant Store project in reliance
upon the Joint Check Agreement. The materials sold and tendered by Pennsy to the Hershey Giant
project in reliance upon the Joint Check Agreement have a total invoice value in the sum of
$88,122.17.
14. RVG failed to fulfill its obligations under the Joint Check Agreement by failing to
issue joint checks, but instead issued checks payable solely to Ziegler.
15. As a result, the sum of $88,122.17 remains due and owing to Pennsy Supply, Inc. for
materials supplied to the Hershey Giant Store project.
16. Although Plaintiff has made due demand for payment of the aforesaid balance upon
RVG, said Defendant has failed and refused to tender payment to Pennsy Supply, Inc.
-3-
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands Judgment against the Defendants in the amount of
$88,122.17, plus interest and the costs of suit.
