High Street Carlisle, PA substantial damages he has sustained as a result of various intentional and malicious fraudulent misrepresentations and violations of the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law on the part of the Defendants in connection with Squires' purchase of a residential dwelling in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Subsequent to purchasing the property, Squires discovered that the house he purchased had substantial aesthetic and structural damage as a result of severe and prolonged water damage. But for the deliberate and malicious misrepresentations and other acts on the part of the Defendants, Squires would not have purchased the house or would have purchased it at a lower price and would not have sustained the extensive damages that he has. PARTIES Plaintiff, Justin Squires, is now an adult individual with his principal residence at 327 "F" Street, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013. Defendants, Daniel C. Bier and Stephanie M. Bier, his wife, (hereinafter "Defendants"), are adult individuals, with a last known address of 760 Bumthouse Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013. Venue in the Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas is proper and appropriate pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1006. FACTS On October 31, 2002, Squires purchased his current residence (the "Property") from the Defendants for the amount Seventy-Three Thousand Five Hundred ($73,500) Dollars. 6. Prior to the purchase, Defendants provided Squires a Seller's Property Disclosure Report, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1, in which the Defendants failed to disclose and denied knowledge of any past or present problems with the foundation of the Property, including any concealed damage or damage not immediately visible. SAIDIS 7. In the Seller's Property Disclosure Report, a copy of which is attached SHUFF, FLOWER & LINDSAY hereto as Exhibit 1, the Defendants also failed to disclose and denied knowledge of any ATrORNEYS•AT•LAW 26 W. High Street Carlisle, PA past or present problems with drainage and flooding of the Property, including any concealed damage or damage not immediately visible. 2 8. Defendants acknowledged to Squires in writing that they possessed no knowledge of any damage or defect to the Property and that there was no structural or foundation damage. 9. Subsequently, Squires began to notice the accumulation of water in the corners of the room adjacent to the kitchen (the "Addition"), which the Defendants had enclosed and constructed in 2000. 10. Squires also began to notice a general dampness across the whole of the carpeted area in the Addition. 11. Upon further inspection, which included tearing up the rug in the corners of the room, Squires discovered extensive cracking of the concrete slab foundation in the Addition, as well as evidence that the Defendants had previously attempted to remedy the cracked foundation with caulking and concrete patching. 12. The accumulation of water that seeped in through the cracked foundation spread across the floor of the Addition, creating rotting areas in the framing of the walls and mildew, which has also affected the main house framing and floor joists. 13. Prior to the signing of the agreement, the Defendants failed to provide to Squires any information concerning the cracked foundation or water problem in the Addition. SAIDIS 14. Defendants also failed to disclose to Squires information about their SHUFF, FLOWER & LINDSAY previous attempts to remedy the cracked foundation and water problems in the Addition. ATTORNEYS-AT-LAW 26 W. High Street Carlisle, PA 15. At no time did Defendants ever provide to Squires any information concerning the cracked foundation or water problems in the Addition. 16. Squires had agreed to purchase the Property within $2,000 of the Defendants' original asking price. 17. Defendants misrepresented the condition of the foundation and water leaks to the Plaintiff. 18. Defendants misrepresented to the Plaintiff the soundness of the foundation and structure. 19. Defendants possessed knowledge that the foundation of the Property had a defect in that it was cracked and leaked water. 20. Defendants had knowledge that they had previously attempted to remedy the defect by caulking and/or adding concrete patching to the cracks in the foundation and failed to disclose the same to Squires. 21. Had the Defendants provided information to Squires regarding the defects and their attempts to remedy the same, Squires would not have purchased the Property or alternatively would have renegotiated the purchase price. 22. In reliance upon the Defendants' misrepresentations, Squires did not request a reduced purchase price to reflect the true extent of the defects. 23. In reliance upon the Defendants' misrepresentations, Squires waived his right to seek a home inspection of the Property. 24. In reliance upon the Defendants' misrepresentations, Squires purchased the Property under the assumption that the foundation did not possess any defects. SAIDIS 25.

The nature and extent of the damage to the Property is so severe as to require complete renovation of the affected area. 4 28. As a direct and result of the substantial damage to the Property, damage that had not been disclosed to him, and which the Defendants had specifically misrepresented did not exist, Squires incurred and will continue to incur substantial costs and expenses in connection with repairing the catastrophic damage to the Property; including, without limitation, the following: a. replacing framing of the walls; b. remedying the cracks in the foundation; C. replacing drywall, insulation, wall studs and exterior covering; d. replacing sub flooring; e. extensive work on the foundation; f. replacing the carpeting and padding; and g. other substantial costs and expenses.

This Statement discloses Seller's knowledge of the condition of the property as of the date signed by Seller and is not a substitute for any inspections or warranties that Buyer may wish to obtain. This Statement is not a warranty of any kind by Seller or a warranty or representation by any listing real estate broker, any selling real estate broker, or their licensees. Buyer is encouraged to address concerns about the conditions of the property that may be included in this Statement. This Statement does not relieve Seller of the obligation about the conditions of the property that may not be included in this Statement.

This release will survive settlement. 66. The Plaintiff is bound by the release in the Agreement of Sale. 67. The Agreement of Sale in Paragraph 26 REPRESENTATIONS states: (A) Buyer understands that any representations, claims, Advertising, promotional activities, brochures or plans of any kind made by Seller, Brokers, their licensees, employees, officers, or partners are not a part of this Agreement unless expressly incorporated or stated in this Agreement. (B) It is understood that Buyer has inspected the Property before signing this Agreement (including fixtures and any personal property specifically scheduled herein), or has waived the right to do so, and has agreed to purchase it in its present condition unless otherwise stated in this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that Brokers, their licensees, employees, officers or partners have not made an independent examination or determination of the structural soundness of the Property, the age or condition of the components, environmental conditions, the permitted uses, or of conditions existing in the locale where the Property is situated; nor have they made a inspection of any of the systems contained therein.

PA 17011 TELEPHONE: (717)737-3405 FACSIMILE: (717)737-3407 REPLY TO CARLISLE You have asked our law firm to act as your attorneys in the property litigation matter. This letter sets forth the agreement concerning our representation of you. This agreement shall become effective upon our receipt of a countersigned copy of this letter and the retainer fee. We cannot undertake to do any work on your case until we receive this agreement letter signed by you and the retainer fee. G400, o sS 1. You hereby agree to pay our firm a retainer fee of $+694:00 which is paid to us for the purpose of assuring our availability in your matter. Your retainer fee will include the initial consultation and the balance will be credited to your account for services to be performed in the future. We will apply your retainer against time expended on your behalf, and at such time as that amount is exhausted, you will be billed regularly for additional time expended. We will ask you to replenish the retailer in an amount appropriate to the work remaining. The basis for our fee is the amount of time spent on your matter, It is impossible to determine in advance the amount of time that will be needed to complete your case. Our billing is based on an hourly rate of $175.00 per hour. This hourly rate will prevail until December 31, 2003, after which, due to rising costs and overhead expenses, the hourly rate will be subject to increase in accordance with the then existing hourly rate schedule. We will bill you periodically on a time-expended basis. Although we do send itemized bills as a matter of course, we also maintain in our office records of time used for conferences, telephone calls, electronic communications, drafting documents, research, court time, and if necessary, travel time. These records will be available to you upon request. Fractions of hours are computed in period of not less than two-tenth (02) of an hour and the interruption of other work is taken into consideration. If some of the work on your case can be done by a paralegal assistant or by a law clerk, whose hourly time rates are substantially lower than mine, to the extent that their time is utilized, the overall fee will be lower. You will not be billed for clerical or secretarial time. If it is necessary to prepare interrogatories, pleadings, agreements or similar legal documents on your behalf, there will be a base charge for such pleadings or agreements, plus an hourly rate for amendments and revisions. For the Mr. Justin Squires June 6, 2003 Page 11 preparation of certain documents, you will be billed on a flat rate basis rather than a time expended basis. We expect you to keep current with our billings. We reserve the right to terminate our attorney-client relationship for non-payment of fees or costs. Interest shall accrue on all unpaid balances at the rate of 1.5% per month after 30 days. 4. "Costs" are our out-of-pocket expenses, such as filing fees, transcripts, photocopies, long distance phone calls and, if necessary, appraisals and accounting fees. Costs will be billed a periodic basis. 5. PRIVACY POLICY: During this firm's representation of you, we may receive nonpublic, personal information from you or from other sources about you.

You were contacted in August 2004, by Attorney Brian C. Caffrey in regards to your file. At that time, you indicated that you wanted to continue with attorney Sohonage who had left our firm. You were advised, at that time, that you had an outstanding balance with the law firm of $2,986.09. Since this time, we have not heard from you or had a request from you to have your file transferred to another attorney or law firm. I would like to bring closure to this matter but I need to hear from you in regards to what course of action you have chosen. I need to know your intentions concerning the prosecution of this file, either by requesting the file be returned to you in it's entirety, or having another attorney contact us requesting the file on your behalf. In either situation, I anticipate the law firm filing a motion asking for relief from the court to remove Saidis, Shuff, Flower & Lindsay as the attorney of record. Secondly, I need to address the outstanding balance you have with the law firm. If you are unable to pay this balance in full, I can offer you the ability to make payments towards your outstanding balance. If you would like to do this, you will need to contact me to make these arrangements. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. 1 can be reached at 717-243-6222. Sincerely, urginia R.
