COMPLAINT
No. b j- 3 91 k C?.l 7;.-
Plaintiff, Unity Bank, by and through its legal counsel Lesavoy Butz & Seitz LLC, states
the following Complaint against Defendant:
1. Plaintiff, Unity Bank, is a bank chartered under the laws of New Jersey with an
address of 64 Old Highway 22, Clinton, New Jersey 08809.
2. Defendant Habitat for Future Building, LLC, is a Wyoming limited liability
company with registered agent at 60 East Simpson Avenue, P.O. Box 2869, Jackson, WY
83001.
3. Tanisha A. Grandberry is the original managing member of the Defendant limited
liability company. Upon information and belief, Ms. Grandberry can be served at
323 40th Street, Copiague, NY 11726
4. Defendant is affiliated with or shares common ownership with two other
businesses in which Tanisha A. Grandberry has interests: (A) Turner's Personal Care Home,
Inc. ("TPCH"), a Pennsylvania business corporation with an address of 404 Silver Spring Road,
Mechanicsburg, PA 17050; and (B) 404 Silver Spring Road, LLC ("404 LLC"), a Pennsylvania
limited liability company at the same address.
5. On or about October 23, TPCH and 404 LLC executed a Promissory Note for
$605,000 to document a loan from Plaintiff to finance the acquisition and operation of a personal
care home located at 404 Silver Spring Road, Mechanicsburg, PA (the "Note"). A true and
correct copy of the Note is attached hereto, made a part hereof, and marked as Exhibit A.
6. Defendant became an unlimited surety for the Note by executing an
Unconditional Guarantee dated October 23, 2007 (the "Surety Agreement"). A true and correct
copy of the Surety Agreement is attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked as Exhibit B.
7. TPCH and 404 LLC are in default of their obligations to Plaintiff under the Note
by reason of their failure to make required payments when due.
8. Paragraph 5(A) of the Note permits Plaintiff to accelerate the balance due under
the Note upon default, without notice or demand.
9. Paragraph 6 of the Surety Agreement sets forth extensive waivers of demand,
presentment and notice.
10. The Note and the Surety Agreement provide that Plaintiff is entitled to collect an
attorneys' fee equal to ten percent of the unpaid principal balance and accrued interest due under
the Note.
11. The sum of $20,000.00, which is less than half of the 10% figure the Note
authorizes, is reasonable for attorney's fees and costs in enforcing Plaintiff's rights and
liquidating the collateral for Plaintiff's loan to TPCH and 404 LLC.
2
12. After credit for all partial payments made, the amount due to Plaintiff under the
Note and Surety Agreement is as follows, plus accruing interest:
Principal $ 603,083.83
Interest to 6/13/08 $ 9,240.67
Late fees $ 555.80
Attorneys' fees (as per Note) $ 20,000.00
TOTAL $ 632,880.30
* per diem = $159.15
13. Plaintiff has not assigned its interests in the Note, the Surety Agreement, or the
obligation they secure.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands the entry of judgment against Defendant in the
amount of $632,880.30, which includes interest to June 13, 2008, plus (A) accruing interest from
and including June 14, 2008, at the rate stated in the Note, (B) costs, and (C) such other relief as
the Court deems just.

3. PAYMENT TERMS:
Borrower must make all payments at the place Lender designates. The payment terms for this Note are:
The initial interest rate is 9.50% per year for 5 years. This initial rate is the prime rate on the date SBA received the loan
application, plus 1.25%. The interest rate will then fluctuate as described below. The initial interest rate must remain in
effect until the first change period begins.
Borrower must pay one payment of interest only on the disbursed principal balance one month from the month this Note is
dated; payment must be made on the first calendar day in the month it is due.
Borrower must pay principal and interest payments of $5,558.00 every month, beginning two months from the month this
Note is dated; payments must be made on the first calendar day in the months they are due.
Lender will apply each installment payment first to pay interest accrued to the day Lender receives the payment, then to bring
principal current, then to pay any late fees, and will apply any remaining balance to reduce principal.
The interest rate will be adjusted every calendar quarter. (the "change period").
The "Prime Rate" is the prime rate in effect on the first business day of the month in which an interest rate change occurs, as
published in the Wall Street Journal on the next business day.
The adjusted interest rate will be 1.25% above the Prime Rate. Lender will adjust the interest rate on the first calendar day of
each change period. The change in interest rate is effective on that day whether or not Lender gives Borrower notice of the
change.
Lender must adjust the payment amount at least annually as needed to amortize principal over the remaining term of the note.
If SBA purchases the guaranteed portion of the unpaid principal balance, the interest rate becomes fixed at the rate in effect at
the time of the earliest uncured payment default. If there is no uncured payment default, the rate becomes fixed at the rate in
effect at the time of purchase.
Loan Prepayment:
Notwithstanding any provision in this Note to the contrary:
Borrower may prepay this Note. Borrower may prepay 20% or less of the unpaid principal balance at any time without
notice. If Borrower prepays more than 20% and the Loan has been sold on the secondary market, Borrower must:
a. Give Lender written notice;
b. Pay all accrued interest; and
c. If the prepayment is received less than 21 days from the date Lender receives the notice, pay an amount equal to 21
days' interest from the date lender receives the notice, less any interest accrued during the 21 days and paid under
subparagraph b., above.
If Borrower does not prepay within 30 days from the date Lender receives the notice, Borrower must give Lender a new
notice.
Additional payment charges apply. When in any one of the first three years from the date of initial disbursement Borrower
voluntarily prepays more than 25% of the outstanding principal balance of the loan, Borrower must pay to Lender on behalf
of SBA a prepayment fee for that year as follows:
a. During the first year after the date on which the loan is first disbursed, 5% of the total prepayment amount;
b. During the second year after the date on which the loan is first disbursed, 3% of the total prepayment amount; and,

4. TPCH and 404 LLC have registered addresses and operate or operated a personal

8. TPCH and 404 LLC defaulted on the loan by failing to make required payments
when due.
9. Plaintiff has commenced an action against Defendant to enforce Defendant's
suretyship.
10. Upon information and belief, the only way to effect service on Defendant is to
serve its only known officer/member, Ms. Grandberry.
11. Numerous attempts have been made to serve Defendant by personally serving
Ms. Grandberry at (i) her last known address of 323 40th Street, Copiague, NY 11726, and

14. Plaintiff has made a good faith effort to serve Defendant by serving Ms.

Complaint.

an Order permitting service on Defendant by (A) posting original process at the Mechanicsburg

The Bank is willing to work with you by agreeing to the terms I previously described. I assume by the email to
which this responds that you reject the bank's terms. This means there is no agreement and the bank intends to
proceed with its remedies.
Please note the Bank's judgments are already of record; we are simply trying to serve you. Our process server
will seek access at your place of work and will insist that the facility's administrators make you available since you
will not answer the door at your home.
It is unfortunate that you find it necessary to increase the bank's expenses since those costs get added to the
debt.

Mr Seitz,
Fage 2 of 3
From my perspective there doesn't appear to be any compromise or any inclination by unity bank to
negotiate a forbearance agreement that I can work with. I standby my original request for a forbearance
because that is what I can do right now. I must admit, that I am very disappointed in Unity Bank's
response to my forbearance request and their request to call in my note.
Until the situation with DPW, the unlawful termination of my personal care home licnense, is settled
next week, I am notgoing to waive any rights or allow judgements against me, until I speak with an
attorney.

By now you must be aware that Unity Bank's process server has been trying to serve papers on you at your home
in NY. I assure you that the bank WILL serve you, at work or by special order, and that the added expense of
such extraordinary measures will be added to the debt. This could be a substantial sum, so I urge you to
cooperate and make an appointment with our server to accept service at a time and place convenient for you.
Failing that, we will do what it takes to achieve service.
