Except as provided in subparagraph (2), all grounds for relief whether to strike off the judgment or to open it must be asserted in a single petition. The petition may be filed in the county in which the judgment was originally entered, in any county to which the judgment has been transferred or in any other county in which the sheriff has received a writ of execution directed to the sheriff to enforce the judgment. (2) The ground that the waiver of the due process rights of notice and hearing was not voluntary, intelligent and knowing shall be raised only (i) in support of a further request for a stay of execution where the court has not stayed execution despite the timely filing of a petition for relief from the judgment and the presentation of prima facie evidence of a defense; and (ii) as provided by Rule 2958.3 or Rule 2973.3. (3) If a written notice is served upon the petitioner pursuant to Rule 2959.1(c)(2) or Rule 2973.1(c), then petition shall be filed within thirty days after such service. Unless the defendant can demonstrate that there were compelling reasons for the delay, a petition not timely filed shall be denied. (b) If the petition states prima facie grounds for relief, the court shall issue a rule to show cause and may grant a stay of proceedings. After being served with a copy of the petition the plaintiff shall file an answer on or before the return day of the rule. The return day of the rule shall be fixed by the court by local rule or special order. (c) A party waives all defenses and objections which are not included in the petition or answer. (d) The petition and the rule to show cause and the answer shall be served as provided in Rule 440. (e) the court shall dispose of the rule on petition and answer, and on any testimony, depositions, admissions and other evidence. The court for cause shown may stay proceedings on the petition insofar as it seeks to open the judgment pending disposition of the application to strike off the judgment. If evidence is produced which in a jury trial would require the issues to be submitted to the jury, the court shall open the judgment. (f) The lien of the judgment of or any levy or attachment shall be preserved while the proceedings to strike off or open the judgment are pending. t _ rr; REAGER & ADLER, P.C. BY:JOHN H.

NO. 2008-2522 CALABRESE & SONS, INC., : CIVIL ACTION - LAW Petitioner/Defendant : PETITION FOR RELIEF FROM CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT IN EJECTMENT AND NOW, comes the Defendant, Calabrese & Sons, Inc., by and through its attorneys, MARTSON DEARDORFF WILLIAMS OTTO GILROY & FALLER, and files the following Petition for Relief from Confession of Judgment in Ejectment: 1. Petitioner Calabrese & Sons, Inc. is a Pennsylvania corporation located at 406 Brandy Lane, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 2. Respondent Brandy Investors, LP is a Pennsylvania limited partnership with a mailing address of c/o RSR Realtors, 3 Lemoyne Drive, Suite 100, Lemoyne, Pennsylvania. 3. On April 18, 2008, Respondent filed a Confession of Judgment in Ejectment against Petitioner. 4. The Complaint in Confession of Judgment for Possession of Real Property filed by Respondent stated that Petitioner "defaulted under the terms of the Lease by failing to pay taxes, insurance and other charges due under the terms of the Lease, in the principal amount of [$]48,299.56, not including interest." Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 2970 states that "the procedure in an action to enter a judgment in ejectment for possession of real property by confession pursuant to an instrument ... authorizing such confession shall be in accordance with the rules relating to confession of judgment for money." 6. Pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 2952(a)(7), the complaint in confession of judgment shall contain "an itemized computation of the amount then due." 7. Respondent's Complaint in Confession of Judgment for Possession of Real Property contains an allegation that Petitioner defaulted by failing to pay an amount of $48,299.56 without providing an itemized computation. 8. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure authorizes Petitioners to either strike or open the confessed judgment. 9. Because Respondent failed to conform with Pa. R.C.P. 2952(a)(7), the Judgment in Ejectment by Confession entered in this matter should be stricken. 10. Additionally, if the amount of $48,299.56 alleged in Respondent's Complaint contains amounts for the payment of real estate taxes, then the Judgment in Ejectment by Confession should be stricken for failure to conform to the terms of the parties' Commercial Lease Agreement. 11. On June 9, 2006, the parties entered into a Commercial Lease Agreement, a copy of which is attached to Respondent's Complaint. 12. Pursuant to Paragraph 4 of the Lease, Petitioner is responsible for the payment of real estate taxes. 13. Respondent is required to provide written notice to Petitioner of the amount of real estate taxes, together with a copy of the tax bill. 14. After Petitioner receives the documentation set forth above in Paragraph 5, Petitioner is required to pay the amount listed on the tax bill within the first thirty (30) days of the face amount period. 15. "A petition to strike a judgment may be granted only for a fatal defect or irregularity appearing on the face of the record." Resolution Trust Corp. v. Copley Qu-Wayne Associates, 683 A.2d 269, 273 (Pa. 1996). 16. "Generally, such clearly established defects justifying a motion to strike arise when the judgment entered is for a grossly excessive amount or includes recovery for items that were not permitted in the contract authorizing a confession of judgment." J.F. Realty Co. v. Yerkes, 398 A.2d 215, 217 (Pa. Super. 1979). 17. A court acting in equity should open a confessed judgment "only when the petitioner `acts promptly, alleges a meritorious defense and presents sufficient evidence of that defense to require submission of the issues to the jury."' Id. (quoting First Seneca Bank & Trust Co. v. Laurel Mountain Development Cora., 485 A.2d 1086, 1088 (Pa. 1984).) 18. In this case, the confessed judgment should be stricken because Respondent failed to follow the procedure outlined in the Lease for the payment of the county and borough taxes. 19. Respondent failed to provide written notice to Petitioner of the amount of real estate taxes. 20. Respondent failed to provide Petitioner with a copy of the tax bill. 21. Furthermore, the real estate taxes were not yet due and in fact, were in the discount period. 22. Because Respondent did not provide the requisite notice to Petitioner and because the real estate taxes were not yet due, Respondent violated the terms of the Lease. 23. Because Respondent confessed judgment without complying with the terms of the Lease, the confessed judgment contains a fatal defect, and the judgment should be stricken. 24. In the alternative, the confessed judgment should be opened because Respondent included improper amounts in the confessed judgment. 25. Respondent included the discount rate for the county and borough taxes even though the Lease does not provide for the payment of the discount rate. 26. Prior to the instant Confession of Judgment, Petitioners and Respondent agreed that Petitioners would strive to make a partial payment of past due amounts by April 30, 2008, subject to documented accounts receivable. 27. Respondent filed its Confession of Judgment on April 18, 2008, prior to the agreed- upon deadline of payment, and on May 5, 2008, Petitioners provided payment in the amount of $77,009.73 to Respondent for the undisputed amounts contained in the current Confession of Judgment. A copy of Petitioner's check is attached hereto and incorporated as Exhibit "A." As of this writing, Respondent has not presented the check for payment. 28. No judge has ruled on an issue in this matter. WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this Honorable Court issue a stay of the proceedings in this matter and issue a Rule to Show Cause why the judgment in this matter should not be stricken, or in the alternative, opened.

CALABRESE & SONS, INC., Defendant IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA CIVIL ACTION NO. 08-2522 CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT IN EJECTMENT PLAINTIFF BRANDY INVESTORS. LP'S ANSWER TO DEFENDANT'S PETITION FOR RELIEF FROM CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT IN EJECTMENT 1. Admitted. 2. Admitted. 3. Admitted. 4. Denied as state. The Complaint in Confession of Judgment is a writing that speaks for itself. No copy of the referenced complaint was attached to Defendant's Petition. 5. This paragraph contains a legal conclusion to which no response is required. 6. This paragraph contains a legal conclusion to which no response is required. 7. Denied as stated. The Complaint in Confession of Judgment is a writing that speaks for itself. 8. This paragraph contains a legal conclusion to which no response is required. 9. Denied. It is denied that Respondent failed to conform with Pa.R.C.P. 2952(a)(7). Pa.R.C.P. 2952(a)(7) refers to "the amount then due" under a confession of judgment for money. Because the confession of judgment at issue in Petitioner's request is for possession of property and not for collection of money, there is no amount due under the confession and therefore this requirement does not apply. By way of further answer, the requirement in Pa.R.C.P. 2953(a)(7) that a confessed judgment be itemized does not require any more than a breakdown of principal, interest and attorney's fees. Courshon v. U.S. Heritage, Inc., 71 Pa. D. & C.2d 38 (1975). Respondent included a reference to the principal amount that Petitioner failed to pay for taxes in order to identify Petitioner's default that permitted Respondent to take the confessed judgment in ejectment. Because this is a confessed judgment for possession of real property and not for collection of money, Respondent is not confessing judgment for any monetary amount, including interest or attorney's fees. Respondent was not, therefore, required to provide a calculation of interest and attorneys fees in the complaint for confessed judgment. By way of further answer, Petitioner has waived all errors and defects contained in the confession of judgment pursuant to Paragraph 21 of the Lease that was attached as Exhibit A to the confession of judgment and which provides, in pertinent part: Tenant hereby waives and releases all errors and defects which may intervene in the Landlord's exercise of any of its remedies hereunder, including the summary remedies[.]" Tenant signed by this paragraph in the lease, acknowledging its agreement to such release of all errors and defects. 10. This paragraph contains a legal conclusion to which no response is required. 11. Admitted. 12. Admitted. 13. Denied as stated. Petitioner is referring to the Lease agreement, which is a writing that speaks for itself. Respondent denies Petitioner's characterization of the Lease agreement to the extent it is inconsistent with the written agreement itself. No copy of the referenced complaint was attached to Defendant's Petition. 14. Denied as stated. Petitioner is referring to the Lease agreement, which is a writing that speaks for itself. Respondent denies the Petitioner's characterization of the written Lease agreement to the extent that it is inconsistent with the written agreement itself. No copy of the referenced complaint was attached to Defendant's Petition. 15. This paragraph contains a legal conclusion to which no response is required. 16. This paragraph contains a legal conclusion to which no response is required. 17. This paragraph contains a legal conclusion to which no response is required. 18. Denied. The alleged failure to follow the procedure for informing Petitioner of amounts due for taxes set forth in the Lease is not a basis for striking or opening the confessed judgment. The Respondent is permitted to confess judgment for possession of the leased property for failure by Petitioner to pay the applicable taxes. Petitioner admitted in paragraph 12 of its petition that it is responsible to pay the taxes. The face of the confessed judgment properly states that Petitioner defaulted under the terms of the Lease for failure to pay the taxes. As such, there is no defect on the face of the confessed judgment that would provide a basis to strike or the confessed judgment. 19. Denied. Respondent has provided Petitioner with written notice of the amount due for real estate taxes. 3 20. Denied as stated. Respondent has not identified "the tax bill" to which it refers in this paragraph. Petitioner failed to pay more than one tax bill. After reasonable investigation, Respondent is without sufficient information to either admit or deny the averment of this paragraph. 21. Denied as stated. The Lease requires Petitioner to pay the amount of the taxes to the Respondent within 30 days of notice of the amount due, which may coincide with the discount period. The Lease does not permit Petitioner to wait until after the discount period has expired to pay the real estate taxes. Petitioner has also defaulted under the terms of the Lease by failing to pay other taxes due that were beyond the discount period, which provides an independent basis for the confessed judgment. 22. Respondent did not violate the terms of the Lease. Respondent denies that it did not provide requisite notice to the Petitioner or that Petitioner was not required to pay the amount due for taxes to the Respondent as required in the Lease. 23. Denied. The alleged failure to follow the procedure for informing Petitioner of amounts due for taxes set forth in the Lease is not a basis for striking the confessed judgment. The Respondent is permitted to confess judgment for possession of the leased property for failure by Petitioner to pay the applicable taxes. Petitioner admitted in paragraph 12 of its petition that it is responsible to pay the taxes. The face of the confessed judgment properly states that Petitioner defaulted under the terms of the Lease for failure to pay the taxes. As such, there is no defect on the face of the confessed judgment that would provide a basis to strike the confessed judgment. 24. Denied. Petitioner has not identified any improper amounts that Respondent has included in the confessed judgment. Again, this is a confessed judgment for possession of real property, it is not a confessed judgment for collection of money. There are no "amounts" included in this judgment. 25. Denied as stated. The Lease requires Petitioner to pay the amount of the taxes to the Respondent within 30 days of notice of the amount due, which may coincide with the discount period. The Lease does not permit Petitioner to wait until after the discount period has expired to pay the real estate taxes. Respondent has also defaulted under the terms of the Lease by failing to pay other taxes due, which were beyond the discount period, and which provide an independent basis for the confessed judgment. 26. Denied. Respondent has at all times expected and demanded that Petitioner pay its rent and other amounts on the dates they are due. Petitioner had failed to pay rent for the months of February and March 2008 and represented to Respondent that it would pay the amounts due for these months and its April rent on April 1, 2008. Respondent never agreed to such late payment nor did it ever agree that it would delay the filing of the confessed judgment at issue. 27. Denied. There was no "agreed-upon deadline" as Respondent has always demanded that Petitioner pay its rent and other amounts due on the dates they are due. Petitioner failed to pay rent for February, March and April 2008 when due and informed Respondent that it would pay the amounts late. There was no agreement that Petitioner was permitted to pay its rent past the due dates and there was no agreement that Respondent would not file a confessed judgment. 28. Admitted. WHEREFORE, Respondent, Brandy Investors, LP, requests this Honorable Court to deny Petitioner's Petition for Relief from Confessed Judgment in Ejectment. Respectfully submitted, REAGER & ADLER, P.C.
