The name(s) and last known address(es) of the Defendant(s) are: STEVEN R. DAVIS 9 HILL ROAD CARLISLE, PA 17015 who is/are the mortgagor(s) and/or real owner(s) of the property hereinafter described. 3. On 03/15/2006 mortgagor(s) made, executed and delivered a mortgage upon the premises hereinafter described to FIRST AMERICA MORTGAGE, A DIVISION OF NATIONAL CITY BANK OF INDIANA which mortgage is recorded in the Office of the Recorder of CUMBERLAND County, in Mortgage Book No. 1943, Page 2353. By Assignment of Mortgage recorded 07/20/2006 the mortgage was assigned to PLAINTIFF which Assignment is recorded in Assignment of Mortgage Book No. 728, Page 2373. The mortgage and assignment(s), if any, are matters of public record and are incorporated herein by reference in accordance with Pa.R.C.P. 1019(g); which Rule relieves the Plaintiff from its obligations to attach documents to pleadings if those documents are of public record. 4. The premises subject to said mortgage is described as attached. 5. The mortgage is in default because monthly payments of principal and interest upon said mortgage due 08/01/2007 and each month thereafter are due and unpaid, and by the terms of said mortgage, upon failure of mortgagor to make such payments after a date specified by written notice sent to Mortgagor, the entire principal balance and all interest due thereon are collectible forthwith. File #: 183358 6. The following amounts are due on the mortgage: Principal Balance $358,962.29 Interest $25,423.54 07/01/2007 through 07/29/2008 Attorney's Fees $1,250.00 Cumulative Late Charges $100.96 03/15/2006 to 07/29/2008 Cost of Suit and Title Search 550.00 Subtotal $386,286.79 Escrow Credit $0.00 Deficit $1,612.19 Subtotal $1,612.19 TOTAL $387,898.98 7. If the mortgage is reinstated prior to a Sheriffs Sale, the attorney's fee set forth above may be less than the amount demanded based on work actually performed. The attorney's fees requested are in conformity with the mortgage and Pennsylvania law. Plaintiff reserves its right to collect attorney's fees up to 5% of the remaining principal balance in the event the property is sold to a third party purchaser at Sheriff s Sale, or if the complexity of the action requires additional fees in excess of the amount demanded in the Action. 8. Plaintiff is not seeking a judgment of personal liability (or an in personam judgment) against the Defendant(s) in the Action; however, Plaintiff reserves its right to bring a separate Action to establish that right, if such right exists. If Defendant(s) has/have received a discharge of personal liability in a bankruptcy proceeding, this Action of Mortgage`Foreclosure is in no way an attempt to reestablish such personal liability discharged in bankruptcy, but only to foreclose the mortgage and sell the mortgaged premises pursuant to Pennsylvania Law. File M 183358 9. Notice of Intention to Foreclose as set forth in Act 6 of 1974, Notice of Homeowner's Emergency Assistance Program pursuant to Act 91 of 1983, as amended in 1998, and/or Notice of Default as required by the mortgage document, as applicable, have been sent to the Defendant(s) on the date(s) set forth thereon, and the temporary stay as provided by said notice has terminated because Defendant(s) has/have failed to meet with the Plaintiff or an authorized consumer credit counseling agency, or has/have been denied assistance by the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency. 10. This action does not come under Act 6 of 1974 because the original mortgage amount exceeds $50,000. WHEREFORE, PLAINTIFF demands an in rem Judgment against the Defendant(s) in the sum of $387,898.98, together with interest from 07/29/2008 at the rate of $66.38 per diem to the date of Judgment, and other costs and charges collectible under the mortgage and for the foreclosure and sale of the mortgaged property.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY NO. 08-4575 CIVIL TERM Defendant Steven R. Davis CERTIFICATION and RESPONSE OF STEVEN R. DAVIS I am the Defendant in this case. I make this certification of my own knowledge in answer and response to Plaintiff's filing of an Action of Mortgage Foreclosure. I. Pur ose: I make this certification to file in writing defenses, objections, and counter- proposal to the claims against me. I object to the Plaintiff's requested ruling and respectfully ask the court to consider alternative remedies to the dispute based on (in whole or part) the information contained herein. 2. Act 91 Notice: Defendant met with an authorized consumer credit counseling agency and is still awaiting notice of acceptance or denial of Defendant's application for assistance from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency. 3. Workout Package: Defendant submitted two workout packages to Plaintiff; but because of Defendant's current financial picture, and Plaintiff's internal rules; the package wa$ mjected without thoughtful consideration. 4. Propel for tilde: Defendant continues in good faith to maintain the property in show condition and actively on the market for sale. Page I of 3 5. Current United States Financial Landscape: The US Financial picture is dire. Consideration of alternatives to foreclosure is a social responsibility as citizens. 6. Hardship: Exhibit B is Defendant's Personal Hardship Letter to Plaintiff dated 20JunO8. Exhibit B discusses factors of Housing Market; Post Divorce Decree Litigation for Visitation of Defendant's boys; Post Divorce decree Litigation for Child Support of Defendant's step-daughters; Medical Expenses; Employment; and Fuel Costs. Exhibit B explains how the dispute between Defendant and Plaintiff came to be. 7. Alternative to Foreclosure: Exhibit A is Defendant's Hardship Assistance Request Response dated 7Aug08. Within Exhibit A is a detailed and realistic plan which results in the complete disputed amount paid over time to the Plaintiff by the Defendant. The plan calls initially for a lower monthly payment with payment amounts increasing over time and in the end exceeding current required payment amounts. The plan enables Plaintiff to show a profit rather than a loss on the property stabilizing both Plaintiffs and Defendant's financial outlooks. The bottom line of the plan is that the Plaintiff receives the total requested Judgment (on an alternative timetable). The plan in no way denies or prejudices the right of the Plaintiff to file any future Action of Mortgage Foreclosure (especially in the case of the plan's failure). 8. Request: Defendant respectfully requests the court consider the Defendant's proposed alternative and if acceptable; orders of the court making the proposal actual. Page 2 of 3 I hereby certify that the foregoing statements made by me are true. I am aware that if any of the foregoing statements are willfully false, I am subject to punishment. I have mailed a copy of this to the Plaintiff's attorneys. Dated: 449 teven R. Davis, Defendant Page 3 of 3 ?????

Attn: Homeowner's Assistance 3232 Newmark Drive Miamisburg, OH 45342 Re: NCMC Loan Number 0004562350; Response to Hardship Assistance Request Denial I received a letter from National City dated 24Ju108 which states that my hardship assistance request was denied due to the financial information that I provided showing a deficit income. I believe that my situation was not correctly reflected in the financial information that i provided. I'd like to take this opportunity to correct the financial information to show a positive income flow that increases over time and eventually pays both mortgages in full.

Attn: Homeowner's Assistance 3232 Newmark Drive Miamisburg, OH 45342 Re: NCMC Loan Number 0004562350; Personal Hardship Letter I have experienced several hardships that collectively have affected my financial ability to make my mortgage payment. This letter explains the hardships in summary form and proposes a workout package for resolution of the current financial situation. Housing Market At the time of my offer to purchase the home in January 2006; the housing market at my then residence of 11946 Hollowwind Ct, Reston, VA was booming, though some anticipated a bubble burst at some point. Zillow.com shows the property peak value In Jan06 then dropping off significantly thereafter. I did not realize I was at the peak and anticipated a quick sale common at the time. Instead, the bubble burst leaving me saddled with 4 mortgages (2 per prop"). I was able to use my previously good credit and a renter for a period of time before I had to eventually declare Chapter 13 bankruptcy in which I surrendered the property. Myome. Post-Decree Litigatio,0: Despite having both a property settlement agreement and a divorce decree with explicit definitions for visitation with my two boys; my ex-wife nonetheless refused to follow the decree. I pursued relief from the courts, which was to prove expensive and eventually fruitless. i do not see my boys much, just a small fraction of the time ordered by the judge; I have no further funds with which to fight the battle in the legal system. From 2003 through present the cost totaled some $80,000.00. b. Child ,pg Despite having both a property settlement agreement and a divorce decree with explicit definitions for child support and several court orders for support; my wife and I frequently fail to receive the $600.00 per month support for my two step-daughters. The Ch 13 bankruptcy filing in April of 2007 was based on receiving the $600.00 per month support consistently and on time. To date the girl's natural father is $8,000.00 in arrears. We have paid a few thousand dollars over the years in pursuit of support. Injury and Illness Medical Expenses: Despite having excellent health insurance through my employer, Northrop Grumman; being a family of six we have had unusual out of pocket medical expenses. Typically the average costs of medical out of pocket expenses, in a given month are upwards of $350.00. On top of this cost are out of pocket expenses for three major surgeries our family has experienced over the last year. Each of these surgeries ranged in expense from $500 to $2000 in out of pocket costs. We currently owe some $5000.00 in accumulated unpaid expenses since filing our Apr07 Ch 13 bankruptcy. EmD ent Our model for housing was one in which we would choose to have me commute some 240 miles round-trip on a daily basis in the near term before I could find other work closer to home. I was successful in August 2006 in securing a position within the company which reduced my daily round-trip commute by 40 miles. This was considered by us to be an interim step to an even shorter commute and the job opportunity came with a strong possibility of working out of the home (which did not materialize). I have been in an active job search for more than two years and generally interview every other month for one opportunity or another, however the nature of my experience in classified environments coupled with my bad credit have closed the 7/14/2008 Pagel of 3 Steven R Davis Re: NCMC Loan Number 0004562350; Personal Hardship Letter door on several opportunities which could have played a significant role in resolving the current financial crisis (lost a possible 33% increase in salary due to this). Fuel Costs: Bad credit has locked me into my current vehicle of a 1999 Toyota 4Runner; this vehicle causes my daily gas expenditure to be 11 gallons for every work day (5140 schedule). My co-workers thought I was over-estimating the cost of gas when looking at our home-work model - my estimate was just in case gas prices should ever go as high as $2.50/gal...My estimated monthly fuel cost for getting to and from work alone was $505.00 per month. At current gas prices of $4.00/gal the monthly cost of gasoline to work has increased to $968.00 per month. ResoUbn: I propose a workout plan option to keep the hone from foreclosure. As disclosed in the financial worksheet there is little leeway, but there is some. A modification to tack the delinquent amounts to the end of the loan and a forbearance period initially of two years, followed by subsequent rolling increases; if acceptable could be possible. Budaef Stobdt7y: Child support is beginning to reach us for the girls through child support agencies. This gives $600.00 a month as indicated in the financial disclosures. I have taken a time penalty in my commute to work in order to better control fuel costs. We are supplementing our grocery bills with home grown vegetables in a garden on the property. We scavenge for free fire wood from tree trimmers and bum during the winter to bring down heating costs. These measures are designed to keep our budget close to balanced for now. Proposal Breakdown: I propose to temporarily zero the 2nd mortgage payment until such time as the rest of the budget permits payment. I propose to add the delinquent amount to the end of the loan extending the term. I propose to liquidate my 401 K permanently to obtain funds with which to pay off the Van and 4Runner giving $500.00 per month back into our operating budget. 1 propose to pay this $500.00 per month to National City on the first (primary) mortgage. With the remainder of the funds I plan to purchase a (used gas efficient model) vehicle to reduce fuel costs by 30% and to purchase a wood stove to give greater efficiency over the fireplace for our heat cost reduction program. 1 propose that at the end of a two year period or perhaps sooner depending on circumstances and as debt is paid down to increase reciprocally the amount paid to the first mortgage until it is fulfilled monthly and I am back on track with delinquent amounts extending the term of the loan; at that time and as continued fund increases allow I would resume paying the 2nd mortgage after National City is satisfied with progression of the first mortgage. During the two-year reduction in mortgage payment to $500.00 per month; and for the time beyond that; I propose continuing to keep the home on the market for sale in an effort to re- coop the banks investment in the first and second mortgage. This would be our first option to sell the home and pay off the mortgages in fuel, and perhaps have enough left over to fund a move closer to my work, and pay deposit on a rental home until recovered from bad credit. We are taking in my wife's sister in the coming months in order to provide her family support and childcare in exchange for help with the mortgage. Once she is established and employed in the area (medical field) we estimate she may be able to contribute as much as $500.00 per month. Other debt payoff and corresponding increase in funds to NCINC are shown in the table on the next page, which itself is a realistic and conservative plan for ultimately the total payoff of both the first and second mortgages. 7/14/2008 Page 2 of 3 Steven R Davis Re: NCMC Loan Number 0004562350; Personal Hardship Letter Total Total per Dates Amount Additional per month month Source 1st 2nd Budget stability - fuel Present n/a n/a n/a & food cost reduction program, stabilize child support Jan09 thru 500'00 500 00 0 00 Liquidate 401 K and Jan11 .

Occupation of the property reduces the risk of natural decay and vandalism of the property, preserving the bank's investment in terms of maintaining the best possible property value. Such an advantage cannot be realized if the home goes to foreclosure at a loss in profit for the investor. The plan allows for NCMC to realize partial funds in the short term and full funds in the out-years. The disadvantage of the plan is that it is not what was agreed to originally for that i am song and would like to do as much as I possibly can to make amends-this plan can do that over time. I thank you sincerely for your consideration of this proposal. Than u; S ve avis 7/14/2008 Page 3 of 3 r--7 0 w t`1 V PHELAN HALLINAN & SCHMIEG, LLP BY: MICHELE M.
