Exhibit A to Plaintiffs' Complaint.
41. That said James C. Costopoulos in his capacity as attorney in fact and agent for

PLAINTIFFS' REPLY TO NEW MATTER
AND ANSWER TO COUNTERCLAIM
AND NOW come the Plaintiffs, James C. Costopoulos, Attorney-
in-Fact for Katherine Costopoulos, by and through their attorney,
William C. Costopoulos, Esquire, and file the following Reply to
New Matter and Answer to Counterclaim:
Replv to New Matter
32. No answer required.
33. Admitted in part; denied in part.
It is admitted that
Defendant Waypoint Financial Corporation is a federally regulated
thrift holding company. It is denied that it is neither authorized
nor does engage in any retail banking activities or take or hold
customer's deposits. To the contrary, Defendant Waypoint Financial
1
Corporation, as the parent company of Waypoint Bank, is jointly and
severally liable for failing to protect the interests of customers
such as Plaintiff, Katherine Costopoulos, as set forth fully in the
complaint. Strict proof demanded at trial.
34. Neither admitted nor denied. The account rules speak for
themselves. Strict proof demanded at trial.
35. Denied as stated. It is denied that Plaintiffs
individually and/or collectively failed to report two allegedly
forged instruments negotiated in June of 2003 until February of
2004. To the contrary, Plaintiffs promptly and appropriately
reported these two forged instruments upon becoming aware of them.
Strict proof demanded at trial.
36. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiffs unreasonably
delayed in reporting the June checks as forgeries, that any
unreasonable delay enabled the subsequent forgeries to happen, and
that this directly caused the losses co~?lained of and prevented
Waypoint Bank from preventing or limiting Plaintiffs' loss. To the
contrary, there was absolutely no connection between the checks
forged in June 2003 and the checks forged in December 2003/January
2004 and given the six-month time lapse between the two sets of
forgeries, Defendants are not absolved of liability for the loss.
Defendants are entirely liable for the loss for the reasons set
forth in the complaint. Strict proof demanded at trial.
37. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiffs failed to safeguard
2
the checks or report their theft or loss and that any such failure
directly enabled the alleged thief and forger to continue to cause
losses to Plaintiffs. To the contrary, Plaintiffs did all that was
reasonably possible to safeguard the checks and promptly and
appropriately reported the forgeries of December 2003/January 2004
upon learning of them. Defendants are entirely liable for the loss
for the reasons set forth in the complaint. Strict proof demanded
at trial.
38. This averment sets forth a legal conclusion requiring no
answer. To the extent a response is required, the same is denied.
To the contrary, Plaintiffs did not unreasonably and negligently
fail to meet their performance obligations to Defendants and any
such failure did not mean that the $8,307 December through January
losses would not have occurred. Defendants are entirely liable for
the loss for the reasons set forth in the complaint. Strict proof
demanded at trial.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs demand judgment against Defendants,
jointly and severally.
Answer to Counterclaim of Third-Party Defendant James C.
Costopoulos
Defendants set forth claims against James C. Costopoulos under
the heading of "NEW MATTER" and "Third Party Defendant James C.
Costopoulos. " Apparently this is meant to be a counterclaim.
Plaintiffs object to this heading which fails to conform to the
3
Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure. Wi thout waiving their
objection, Plaintiffs will treat this as a counterclaim and answer
it in the interests of judicial economy.
39. No answer required.
40. Neither admitted nor denied. The 1993 power of attorney
speaks for itself.
41. Denied. It is denied that James C. Costopoulos, in his
capacity as attorney in fact and agent for Katherine Costopoulos,
negligently and intentionally failed or refused to fulfill his
fiduciary obligations and duties by failing, inter alia, to
safeguard and monitor the security of her checks and records;
monitor, review and reconcile monthly account statements; report
unauthorized use and activity on her account; and take such action
necessary to prevent a close family member from defrauding his
principal. To the contrary, James C. Costopoulos, in his capacity
as attorney in fact and agent for Katherine Costopoulos, did not
negligently and intentionally fail or refuse to fulfill his
fiduciary obligations and duties. He did all that was reasonably
possible to safeguard and monitor the security of her checks and
records. He monitored, reviewed and reconciled her monthly
statements. He promptly and appropriately reported the
unauthorized use and activity on her account. And he took
reasonable action to prevent Constantine Costopoulos from
defrauding his principal. Strict proof demanded at trial.
4
42. Admitted in part; denied in part. It is admitted that
James C. Costopoulos was aware of the criminal propensities of
Constantine Costopoulos. By way of further answer, Defendants
themselves were well aware of the criminal propensities of
Constantine Costopoulos. It is denied that James C. Costopoulos
negligently failed to take appropriate action to safeguard and
protect and monitor the physical and financial security of his
principal's belongings and accounts to prevent or discover the
theft and fraud. To the contrary, he did all that was reasonably
possible to safeguard and protect and monitor the physical and
financial security of his principal's belongings and accounts to
prevent or discover the theft and fraud and, in fact, promptly and
appropriately reported the theft and fraud in this case upon
becoming aware of it. Strict proof demanded at trial.
43. This averment sets forth a legal conclusion requiring no
response. To the extent a response is required, the same is
denied. It is denied that James C. Costopoulos breached any
fiduciary duty to Katherine Costopoulos. It is further denied that
any such breach of fiduciary duty directly caused or allowed to
continue the fraudulent course of conduct of Constantine
Costopoulos resulting in losses exceeding $9,280 and preventing
Defendants from limiting the losses due to the allegedly forged
instruments. To the contrary, Defendants are entirely liable for
the loss for the reasons set forth in the complaint. Strict proof
5
demanded at trial.
44. This averment sets forth a legal conclusion requiring no
response.
To the extent a response is required, the same is
denied. It is denied that as the result of the action or inaction
of James C. Costopoulos, he is solely and directly liable to
Katherine Costopoulos for the losses incurred or in the
alternatively liable over or jointly and severally liable with
Defendants for any losses for which Waypoint Bank may be held
liable to Katherine Costopoulos. To the contrary, Defendants are
entirely liable for the loss for the reasons set forth in the
complaint.
Strict proof demanded at trial.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs demand judgment against Defendants,
RESP
FULLY SUBMITTED:
