entered into a written lease agreement ("Penn's Wood Lease") dated November 14, 2001 for an
office suite at the Professional Center. A true and correct copy of the Penn's Wood Lease is
attached hereto as Exhibit A and by reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof.
7. Pursuant to Sections 1.14 and 6.1 of the Penn's Wood Lease, the premises leased
by PlaintiffPenn's Wood can only be used as an "[o]utpatient physical therapy clinic, associated
general administrative office and any related and ancillary use related to the foregoing."
900200.00001/21239268v4

provision for the benefit of Plaintiff Penn's Wood:

"Exclusive Use Provision."

Professional Center pursuant to a lease agreement with Defendant Walnut Bottom ("CRMC
Lease").
10. Despite requests made upon it, Defendant CRMC has refused to produce a copy
of the CRMC Lease to Plaintiff Penn's Wood. Accordingly, Plaintiff Penn's Wood does not
have a copy of the CRMC Lease to attach to the Complaint.
I 1. At the time the Penn's Wood Lease was executed between PlaintiffPenn's Wood
and Defendant Walnut Bottom, Defendant CRMC was not using its leased premises at the
Professional Center to provide either outpatient physical therapy services or a chiropractic clinic.
12. Upon discovery of Defendant CRMC's intent to provide outpatient physical
therapy services on its leased premises at the Professional Center, Plaintiff Penn's Wood
provided Defendant Walnut Bottom with written notice of this breach of the Exclusive Use
Provision in the Penn's Wood Lease by letter dated November 6, 2003. A true and correct copy
of this letter is attached hereto as Exhibit B and by reference incorporated herein and made a part
hereof.
900200.00001/21239268v4
13. Recently, in or about late January 2004, Defendant CRMC began to use its leased
premises at the Professional Center to provide outpatient physical therapy services in
competition with Plaintiff Penn's Wood and continues to do so.
14. Defendant Walnut Bottom has failed to cure its breach of the Exclusive Use
Provision in the Penn's Wood Lease.

Plaintiff incorporates the preceding paragraphs 1 through 28as if fully set forth
Defendant Walnut Bottom knew that the Exclusive Use Provision was an
essential and material term to the lease transaction with PlaintiffPenn's Wood.
31. Defendant Walnut Bottom's representation in the Exclusive Use Provision that

COUNT IV
INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
Penn's Wood v. CR3~IC
37. PlaintiffPenn's Wood incorporates the preceding paragraphs 1 through 36 as if
fully set forth herein.
38. Upon information and belief, Defendant CRMC has no lawful right to use the
premises at the Professional Center to provide outpatient physical therapy services.
39. Prior to it recent use of the premises in providing outpatient physical therapy
services, Defendant CMRC had knowledge that Plaintiff Penn's Wood had the right to the
exclusive use of the premises at the Professional Center in providing outpatient physical therapy
services.
40.
Defendant CMRC had a duty to inquire and determine the propriety of its use of
the premises in providing outpatient physical therapy services.
900200,00001/21239268v4
41. Defendant CRMC's provision of competing physical therapy services at the
Professional Center has, and continues to, deny Plaintiff Penn's Wood of the exclusive use and
quiet enjoyment of its leasehold for which it has no adequate remedy at law.
42. PlaintiffPenn's Wood's use of the premises at the Professional Center is limited
to providing outpatient physical therapy services. Defendant CRMC, meanwhile, has and can
use the premises for provision of services other than outpatient physical therapy services.
Accordingly, the harm that PlaintiffPenn's Wood is incurring without injunctive relief is greater
than that which Defendant CRMC would incur if preliminary injunctive relief were awarded.
43. Injunctive relief will restore the status quo as it existed immediately prior to
Defendant CRMC's recent and improper interference with PlaintiffPenn's Wood's exclusive use
and quiet enjoyment of the premises at the Professional Center.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Penn's Wood demands judgment against Defendant CRMC
enjoining it from providing outpatient physical therapy services at the Professional Center during
the term of the Penn's Wood Lease, lost revenues and profits, attorneys' fees, costs, interest, and
such other relief that the Court deems equitable and just.

pRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS OF DEFENDANT CARLISLE HMA~ INC.
d/b/a CARLISLE REGIONAL MEDIC!AL CENTER
TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
1. Defendant Carlisle HMA, Inc., d/b/a Carlisle Regional Medical Center
(hereinafter "Carlisle HMA, Inc.") hereby submits Preliminmy Objections pursuant to Pa.R.C.P.
1028(a)(4) in the nature ora demurrer to Count IV of Plaintif['s Complaint.
2. Plaintiff Penn's Wood Physical Therapy, Limited Partnership (hereinafter
"Penn's Wood") has instituted this action against Walnnt Bottom Phase II and Carlisle HMA,
Inc. claiming that Penn's Wood enjoyed, pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated November 14,
2001, certain "exclusive use" fights pursuant to that Lease Agreement. (A true and correct copy
of Plaintiffs Complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit "A"; the Lease between Penn's Wood and
Walnut Bottom Phase II is itself Exhibit "A" to Plaintiffs Complaint).
3. In its Complaint, Penn's Wood alleges that Defendant Carlisle HMA, Inc.
leased space from Defendant Walnut Bottom and that beginning in late January 2004 Defendant
Carlisle HMA, Inc. began to use its leased space to provide outpatient physical therapy services
in the professional center where both Penn's Wood and Carlisle HMA, Inc. were tenants. (See,
Exhibit "A" at¶ 13).
4. Plaintiffs Complaint contains four Counts: Counts I through III are claims
for money damages made by Penn's Wood as against Walnut Bottom based respectively upon
theories of Breach of Lease (Count I); Intentional or Fraudulent Misrepresentation (Count II);
and Negligent Misrepresentation (Count III). (See, Exhibit "A").
5. In each of its claims articulated against Walnut Bottom, Penn's Wood
claims a right to recover money damages for "lost revenues and profits, attorneys' fees, costs" ...
"the value of abandoned improvements, costs incurred in :moving to and fitting out a new
location, and increased rents". (See, Prayers for Relief following each of Counts I through III in
Plaintiffs Complaint, Exhibit "A").
6. Count IV of Plaintiffs Complaint is the sole Count which alleges a claim
as against Carlisle HMA, Inc. Penn's Wood therein seeks injunctive relief as against Carlisle
HMA, Inc. and specifically seeks judgment which would enjoin Carlisle HMA, Inc. "from
providing outpatient physical therapy services at the professional center during the term of
Penn's Wood's Lease", Penn's Wood also seeks lost revenues and profits, attorneys' fees, costs,
interests and other relief. (See, Exhibit "A" at the Prayer for Relief following ¶ 43).
7. Carlisle HMA, Inc. submits that as a matter of law Penn's Wood has
adequate remedies at law and principally against Defendant Walnut Bottom Phase II and
accordingly Penn's Wood has not and cannot plead an appropriately cognizable claim for
injunctive relief.
8. In addition, there is no legal support for the contention set forth in
Paragraph 40 of the Complaint that Carlisle HMA, Inc. had a duty to "inquire and determine the
propriety of its use of the premises in providing outpatient physical therapy services".
Accordingly Penn's Wood's claims against Carlisle HMA, Inc. should be dismissed with
prejudice as a matter of law.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Carlisle HMA, Inc. respectfully requests that this Honorable
Court grant its Preliminary Objections in the Nature of a Demurrer as against Plaintiff Penn's
Wood Physical Therapy, Limited Partnership and dismiss this action with prejudice.
