5. The mortgage lis in default because monthly payments of principal and interest upon said
mortgage due 08/01/2008 and each month thereafter are due and unpaid, and by the terms

Plaintiff is no seeking a judgment of personal liability (or an in personam judgment)
against the Deendant(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 pursulant to Pennsylvania Law.

of $132,099.21, together with interest from 03/09/2009 at the rate of $16.69 per diem to the date
