$ 2,500,000
May 31, 2002
SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY TRANSPORT, LLC, A Pennsylvania Limited Liability
Company with offices at 45 Lesal Road, Gordonville, PA, (hereinafter referred to as

(hereinafter referred to as "Guarantors"), hereby individually and collectively promise to
pay to the order of CLOUSE TRUCKING, INC., a Pennsylvania business corporation

assigns, (the "Payee"), in lawful money of the United States of America, and at such
place as Payee may designate the principal sum of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand
($2,500,000) Dollars plus any additional principal advance by Payee to or for the benefit
of Maker under terms of a certain Agreement of Sale for certain milk hauling business
interests of Payee entered into among the parties hereto dated May 30, 2002.
This Note is due and payable in monthly payments commencing on July 1, 2002.
Said monthly payments shall be in the amount of no less than Thirty-Seven Thousand
Five Hundred ($37,500.00) Dollars to be applied first to interest during the first three (3)
years hereof at the rate of Six (6) percent per annum, and thereafter to reduction of
principal, until the principal, accrued interest and any late payments due hereunder are
paid in full. Beginning with June 1, 2005, the interest rate shall be subject to change
annually at the option of Payee to a rate equivalent to the Prime Interest rate as
published by the Wall Street Journal on May 31°t preceeding the interest change date.
Provided, that unless sooner paid, all principal, unpaid interest and late payments due
hereunder shall be due and payable on or before June 1, 2009. Provided, however, that
at no time during the term hereof shall the interest rate be greater than Nine (9%) per
cent nor less than Six (6%) per cent.
A late charge of ten percent (10%) of the monthly payment due hereunder shall
be added to any payment due to Payee hereunder if such payment is not made within
ten (10) days of the date on which it is due and the amount of such late charge(s) shall
immediately be added to the indebtedness hereunder.
The occurrence of any one of the following shall constitute an Event of Default by
the Maker: (a) nonpayment of any of the liabilities, or any portion thereof, when and in
the manner due, whether by acceleration or otherwise; (b) the institution of any
proceeding in bankruptcy, receivership or insolvency by or against the Maker, or (c)
partial or full transfer or sale of any of the collateral securing this Note without the
written consent of Payee prior to the full and final payment and satisfaction of the
obligations set forth in this Note.
The Maker hereby waives presentment for payment, notice of demand, notice of
nonpayment or dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and all other notices in connection
with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of the payment of
any liability hereunder.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the principal and all liabilities owed
to Payee by Maker together with costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, which shall in no event be less than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), are
immediately due and payable, as if the same had in the first instance been payable at
such time. Payee may exercise any and all remedies that the Payee may then possess
under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law, regulation or
controlling legal authority.
All rights or remedies of the Payee set forth or otherwise existing are cumulative.
No delay or failure by the Payee herein, in exercising any of his options, powers or
rights or a partial or single exercise constitutes a waiver of the right to exercise the
same of any other right at any other time or from time to time thereafter.
THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS SET FORTH A WARRANT OF AUTHORITY
FOR AN ATTORNEY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST THE MAKER. IN
GRANTING THIS WARRANT OF AUTHORITY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST
THE MAKER, THE MAKER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND
VOLUNTARILY, AND UNCONDITIONALLY, WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS THE
MAKER HAS OR MAY HAVE TO PROPER NOTICE AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
HEARING UNDER THE RESPECTIVE CONSTITUTIONS AND LAWS OF THE
UNITED STATES AND THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA.
UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE MAKER HEREBY AUTHORIZES AND
EMPOWERS IRREVOCABLY THE PROTHONOTARY OR ANY CLERK, OR ANY
ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD OF PENNSYLVANIA OR ELSEWHERE
TO APPEAR FOR AND TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST MAKER FOR ALL
AMOUNTS DUE AND ALL OTHER LIABILITIES AS OF ANY TIME, PAST, PRESENT
OR FUTURE.
AND SUCH CONFESSION SHALL BE WITH OR WITHOUT DECLARATION,
WITH COSTS OF SUIT, RELEASE OR ERRORS, WITHOUT STAY OF EXECUTION,
WITH REASONABLE ATTORNEY'S FEES ADDED WHICH IN NO EVENT SHALL BE
LESS THAN ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,000.00).
THE MAKER FURTHER AGREES THAT REAL, PERSONAL OR MIXED
PROPERTY MAY BE SOLD UPON ANY WRIT OF EXECUTION AS NOW OR
HEREAFTER PROVIDED BY LAW OR THE RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
GOVERNING THE ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS. THE MAKER WAIVES AND
RELEASES ALL RELIEF FROM ALL APPRAISEMENT, STAY OR EXEMPTION,
LAWS OR RULES OF COURT, NOW IN FORCE OR HEREAFTER ENACTED OR
ADOPTED.
THE MAKER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BY AGREEING THAT THE PAYEE MAY
CONFESS JUDGMENT HEREUNDER, HE WAIVES THE RIGHT TO NOTICE IN A
PRIOR JUDICIAL PROCEEDING TO DETERMINE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES.
MAKER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PAYEE MAY OBTAIN A
JUDGMENT AGAINST THE MAKER WITHOUT THE MAKER'S OPPORTUNITY TO
RAISE ANY DEFENSE, SET OFF, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER CLAIM MAKER MAY
HAVE. MAKER EXPRESSLY WAIVES SUCH RIGHTS AS AN EXPLICIT AND
MATERIAL PART OF THE CONSIDERATION PROVIDED BY PAYEE. NO SINGLE
EXERCISE OF THE FOREGOING WARRANT AND POWER TO CONFESS
JUDGMENT IS DEEMED TO EXHAUST THE POWER, WHETHER OR NOT ANY
SUCH EXERCISE IS HELD BY ANY COURT TO BE INVALID, VOIDABLE OR VOID,
BUT THAT POWER SHALL CONTINUE UNDIMINISHED ANY MAY BE EXERCISED
FROM TIME TO TIME AS OFTEN AS THE PAYEE ELECTS UNTIL ALL LIABILITIES
HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL.
If any provision hereof is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
prohibited or unenforceable, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition
or unenforceability, and such prohibition or unenforceability shall not invalidate the
balance of such provision to the extent it is not prohibited or unenforceable, nor
invalidate the other provisions hereof, all of which shall be liberally construed in favor of
Payee in order to effect the provision of the Note.
The words "Payee" and "Maker" whenever occurring herein shall be deemed and
construed to include the respective heirs, executors, successors and assigns of Payee,
on the one hand, and Maker on the other hand.
This Note shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without reference to any choice or conflict of law rules
that might otherwise apply.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and intending to be legally bound, the Maker has
executed this Note as of the day and year first above written.

TO: SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY TRANSPORT, LLC, PHILLIP L. WEAVER, AND JOAN S.
WEAVER
A debtor that has been incorrectly identified and had a confession or judgment entered against him shall
be entitled to costs and reasonable attorney fees as determined by the court.
Relief from a judgment by confession shall be sought by petition. Except as provided in the below
paragraph, 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.
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 Pa. R.C.P. No. 2958.3 or Pa.
R.C.P. No. 2973.3.

2973.1(c), the 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.
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.
A party waives all defenses and objection which are not included in the petition or answer.
The petition and rule to show cause and the answer shall be served as provided in Pa. R.C.P. No. 440.

NOW COMES defendants-petitioners Judgment Debtors, Susquehanna Valley Transport,
LLC, and Phillip L. Weaver and Joan S. Weaver ("Defendants"), by and through their undersigned
counsel, Case & DiGiamberadino, P.C., and hereby petition this Honorable Court to strike off or
open the above-captioned judgment confessed against them by plaintiff-respondent Judgment
Creditor ("Clouse "), and state as follows in support thereof:
1. On April 30, 2004 Clause Trucking, Inc., Plaintiff, Confessed Judgment against
Susquehanna Valley Transport, LLC and Philip L. Weaver and Joan W. Weaver. (see attached
Exhibit "A").
Defendants pray that the confessed judgment be Stricken and/or opened because:
A. Defendants, Philip and Joan Weaver did riot knowingly sign a Warrant of
attorney authorizing confession of Judgment against them individually. Guarantors are not
referenced in the Warrant only "maker" which refers to the Corporate entity. A Guarantor
refers to secondary liability.
B. The Warrant of Attorney was improperly relied upon to confess Judgment.
There exists no reference in the confession of Judgement that any Attorney for the
Defendants appeared to enter judgment on their behalf pursuant to authorization of the
Warrant of Attorney. Document references only an Attorney for Plaintiff, Clouse Trucking,
Inc.
C. Party (Clouse) obtaining Judgment, if not by Attorney for the Defendant
under the warrant, is not an attorney.
D. Judgment was entered improperly pursuant to Pa. Rules of Civil Procedure
295 1 (a), because:
i. A default must be alleged for a confession to occur. Said default, not alleged,
comes from outside the contract, which requires compliance with Rule 2951(b)3, and
issuance of a complaint.
ii. The default amount must be calculable from the face of the instrument and
the instant default contains "attorney fees" which are created by counsel for the Plaintiff.
E. The Defendants have meritorious defenses which include a). unaccounted for
payments pursuant to the note, b). unaccounted for self help improper repossessions of
trucks, trailers and equipment, and c). various claims resulting from breaches of the
contract entitled Asset Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit "B".
Wherefore, the Petitioners pray this Honorable Court strike off the judgment entered,
or in the alternative, open the judgment.

PLAINTIFF'S RESPONSE TO JUDGMENT DEBTOR'S PETITION TO STRIKE
OR ALTERNATIVELY OPEN CONFESSED JUDGMENT
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff/Respondent, Clouse Trucking, Inc., by and through its
attorneys, MARTSON DEARDORFF WILLIAMS & OTTO, and hereby responds to the Petition
of Judgment Debtors to Strike or, Alternatively Open Confessed Judgment, and state in support
thereof:
Admitted.
2. Denied. The averments of Paragraph 2 and its constituent subparts are conclusions
of law to which no response is required by Pa. R.C.P. To the extent that a response is required, it
is specifically denied that the confessed judgment should be stricken and/or opened; further, in
response to the specific subparts of Paragraph 2, Plaintiff/Respondent responds as follows:
A. Denied. It is specifically denied that Defendants Phillip and Joan Weaver did
not knowingly sign a warrant of attorney authorizing confession of judgment
against them individually. On the contrary, both Defendants Phillip and Joan
Weaver voluntarily, and in their hand executed appropriate documents
indicating that intent. The remainder of the averments of Paragraph 2A are
conclusions of law to which no response is required.
B. The averments of subparagraph 2B of the Petition are conclusions of law to
which no response is required. To the extent that a response is required, it is
specifically denied that the warrant of attorney was improperly relied upon
to confess judgment, on the contrary, the warrant was properly relied upon.
C. The averments of subparagraph 2C are denied as conclusions of law, and
furthermore, do not appear to constitute art averment under Pa. R.C.P.
D. Denied. The averments of subparagraph 2D are conclusions of law to which
no response is required. To the extent that a response is required, it is denied
that a Complaint in Confession of Judgment is required in the instant case as
evidenced by the documents executed by, and on behalf of, the Defendants.
By way of further response, Plaintiff has prepared such a Complaint, a copy
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A," and incorporated by reference,
therefore resolving any objections to form.
E. Denied. The averments of subparagraph 2E are conclusions of law to which
no response is required by Pa. R.C.P. To the extent that a response is
required, it is denied that the Defendants have meritorious defenses,
including:
(a) unaccounted for payments pursuant to the note. It is denied
there are unaccounted for payments on the note; please refer
to the attachments to Exhibit "A." By way of further
response, it is noted that ]Defendants /Petitioners have failed
to alleged that they are not in default;
(b) unaccounted "for self-help improper repossession of trucks,
trailers and equipment." It is denied that any "improper
repossessions" have occurred; on the contrary, titles for
vehicles spoiled and wasted by SVT with the complicity of
the Weavers, and removed to Crouse property to avoid fines
from the local subdivision, are in Crouse's possession.
(c) various claims resulting from breaches of the contract entitled
"Asset Purchase Agreement" which is denied as a conclusion
of law, and by way of further response, the pleading is
inadequate to properly raise such alleged breaches, fails to
provide any notice to the Plaintiff/Respondent of what claims
might be raised, is a fatal defect in the pleading, and should
be stricken.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff/Respondent prays this Honorable Court will deny the
Defendants/Petitioners' Motion to Strike Off the Judgment, or in the alternative, Open the Judgment.

Dear Judge Oler:
Counsel for the above referenced parties have been working towards an exchange of
settlement documents, and we believe we are on the brink of settlement.
I have been authorized by Mr. Quitman, opposing counsel, to request that the Court consider
our request that the October 28, 2004, scheduled hearing at 2:00 p.m. be converted to a conference
in chambers, or if the Court prefers in court, to finalize settlement between the parties.
It is our expectation that we will have finalized the settlement documents prior to that date.
However, each of the parties believe that the assistance of the Court in providing this service would
be most valuable towards a final resolution.
Very truly yours,

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND PARTIAL RELEASE
This Agreement is a Settlement and Partial Release entered into between CLOUSE
TRUCKING, INCORPORATED, a business corporation duly organized and existing under the laws
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with a place of business at 2075 Ritner Highway, Carlisle,
Pennsylvania (hereinafter referred to as "Clouse"); SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY TRANSPORT,
LLC, a limited liability corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with a principal place of business at 5085 Old Philadelphia Pike,
Kinzers, Pennsylvania 17535 (hereinafter referred to as "SVT"); and PHILIP L. WEAVER and
JOAN S. WEAVER, individuals and officers of Susquehanna Valley Transport, LLC, residing at 45
Lesal Road, Gordonville, Pennsylvanian (hereinafter referred to as "Guarantors").
Background.
In May of 2002, SVT executed a Promissory Note to Clouse, and Guarantors guaranteed
payment, in the amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand ($2,500,000.00) Dollars. A copy
of the Note and related materials, including Disclosure for Confession of Judgment is attached to this
Settlement Agreement as Exhibit "A," and is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.
SVT fell in to arrears in its obligated payment to Clouse on the Judgment Note and for
additional payments made by Clouse to SVT as evidenced in the attached payment records titled
"SVT Receivables" and "Clouse-SVT Lancaster Division Sale Reconciliation" which are marked
as Exhibit "B" and incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.
On or about April 30, 2004, Clouse through its attorneys entered a Confession of Judgment
against SVT and Guarantors in the amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand ($2,500,000.00)
Dollars, plus additional monies advanced in the amount of $319,402.76, plus attorney's fees, interest
and costs of suit.
SVT and the Guarantors timely objected to the entry of Confessed Judgment against each.
The parties have determined that it is to their mutual benefit to resolve their disputes relating
to the aforesaid judgments and have therefore entered into the following Agreement which is
intended to result in the Release by Clouse of the Guarantors from the Confessed Judgment and any
claims related to that judgment, and the Mutual Release by Guarantors of Clouse from any claims
related to the Confessed Judgment while maintaining the judgment to the benefit of Clouse against
SVT.
AGREEMENT:
NOW THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound hereby and in consideration of the
benefits and promises set forth herein, the receipt of which is hereby made, the parties agree as
follows:
1. Upon execution of this Settlement Agreement, the parties will each direct their
counsel to enter a joint praecipe in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "C," releasing the judgment
entered against the Guarantors by Clouse and confirming the agreement by SVT of the continuation
of the judgment filed by Clouse against SVT by withdrawal of SVT's action.
2. Within a reasonable time frame after the execution of this Agreement, but in no event
longer than 60 days therefrom, the Guarantors as the owners of record of a certain property located
on Route 340 in Salisbury Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, described in the Lancaster
County Recorder of Deeds Office in Deed Book (bar code) 5043396, dated December 3, 2001, and
identified as tax parcel numbers (account numbers) 560-74622-0-0000 and 560-90112-0-0000 ("the
Real Estate"), shall deliver a fully executed and ready for recordation Right of First Refusal to
Clouse which shall specifically state that in the event that Guarantors determine to sell that property,
it shall be offered for first refusal to Clouse at a reasonable market rate, or at the amount made by
any bona fide proposed purchaser of the property. That Agreement will also provide for the joint
retention of an independent appraiser in the event that an independent evaluation of the property is
required to determine the reasonableness or bona fides of any offer to purchase.
3. By this Settlement Agreement and in consideration of the receipt of $1.00, payment
of which is hereby acknowledged, and in accordance with the mutual promises and covenants set
forth herein, Clouse does hereby remise, release, quit claim, and forever discharge Guarantors, Philip
L. Weaver and Joan S. Weaver, from any and all manner of actions, cause of action, judgments, suit,
debts, dues, accounts, agreements, claims and demands in their capacity as Guarantors of the subject
Judgment Note, whether in law or in equity which it ever had, can have or may have by reason of
the dispute relating to the attached Judgment Note of May 2002 and defaulted payments by SVT
under that Note.
4. By this Settlement Agreement and in consideration of the receipt of $1.00 and the

HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL.

prohibited or unenforceable, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition
or unenforceability, and such prohibition or unenforceability shall not invalidate the
balance of such provision to the extent it is not prohibited or unenforceable, nor
invalidate the other provisions hereof, all of which shall be liberally construed in favor of
Payee in order to effect the provision of the Note.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND PARTIAL RELEASE
This Agreement is a Settlement and Partial Release entered into between CLOUSE
TRUCKING, INCORPORATED, a business corporation duly organized and existing under the laws
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with a place of business at 2075 Ritner Highway, Carlisle,
Pennsylvania (hereinafter referred to as "Clouse"); SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY TRANSPORT,
LLC, a limited liability corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with a principal place of business at 5085 Old Philadelphia Pike,
Kinzers, Pennsylvania 17535 (hereinafter referred to as "SVT"); and PHILIP L. WEAVER and
JOAN S. WEAVER, individuals and officers of Susquehanna Valley Transport, LLC, residing at 45
Lesal Road, Gordonville, Pennsylvanian (hereinafter referred to as "Guarantors").
Background.
In May of 2002, SVT executed a Promissory Note to Clouse, and Guarantors guaranteed
payment, in the amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand ($2,500,000.00) Dollars. A copy
ofthe Note and related materials, including Disclosure for Confession of Judgment is attached to this
Settlement Agreement as Exhibit "A," and is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.
SVT fell in to arrears in its obligated payment to Clouse on the Judgment Note and for
additional payments made by Clouse to SVT as evidenced in the attached payment records titled
"SVT Receivables" and "Clouse-SVT Lancaster Division Sale Reconciliation" which are marked
as Exhibit "B" and incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.
On or about April 30, 2004, Clouse through its attorneys entered a Confession of Judgment
against SVT and Guarantors in the amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand ($2,500,000.00)
Dollars, plus additional monies advanced in the amount of $319,402.76, plus attorney's fees, interest
and costs of suit.
SVT and the Guarantors timely objected to the entry of Confessed Judgment against each.
The parties have determined that it is to their mutual benefit to resolve their disputes relating
to the aforesaid judgments and have therefore entered into the following Agreement which is
intended to result in the Release by Clouse of the Guarantors from the Confessed Judgment and any
claims related to that judgment, and the Mutual Release by Guarantors of Clouse from any claims
related to the Confessed Judgment while maintaining the judgment to the benefit of Clouse against
SVT.
AGREEMENT:
NOW THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound hereby and in consideration of the
benefits and promises set forth herein, the receipt of which is hereby made, the parties agree as
follows:
1. Upon execution of this Settlement Agreement, the parties will each direct their
counsel to enter a joint praecipe in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "C," releasing the judgment
entered against the Guarantors by Clouse and confirming the agreement by SVT of the continuation
of the judgment filed by Clouse against SVT by withdrawal of SVT's action.
2. Within a reasonable time frame after the execution of this Agreement, but in no event
longer than 60 days therefrom, the Guarantors as the owners of record of a certain property located

Clouse which shall specifically state that in the event that Guarantors determine to sell that property,
it shall be offered for first refusal to Clouse at a reasonable market rate, or at the amount made by
any bona fide proposed purchaser of the property. That Agreement will also provide for the joint
retention of an independent appraiser in the event that an independent evaluation of the property is
required to determine the reasonableness or bona fides of any offer to purchase.
3. By this Settlement Agreement and in consideration of the receipt of $1.00, payment
of which is hereby acknowledged, and in accordance with the mutual promises and covenants set
forth herein, Clouse does hereby remise, release, quit claim, and forever discharge Guarantors, Philip
L. Weaver and Joan S. Weaver, from any and all manner of actions, cause of action, judgments, suit,

Judgment Note, whether in law or in equity which it ever had, can have or may have by reason of
the dispute relating to the attached Judgment Note of May 2002 and defaulted payments by SVT
under that Note.
4. By this Settlement Agreement and in consideration of the receipt of $1.00 and the
completion of the transfer of vehicle and trailer titles described in Paragraph 6, and in accordance
with the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, Guarantors, Philip Weaver and Joan S.
Weaver do hereby remise, release, quit claim, and forever discharge Clouse from any and all manner

judgment.

or unenforceability, and such prohibition or unenforceability shall not invalidate the

This Agreement is a Settlement and Partial Release entered into between CLOUSE

Background.
In May of 2002, SVT executed a Promissory Note to Clouse, and Guarantors guaranteed

of the Note and related materials, including Disclosure for Confession of Judgment is attached to this

"SVT Receivables" and "Clouse-SVT Lancaster Division Sale Reconciliation" which are marked
as Exhibit "B" and incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.

Dollars, plus additional monies advanced inthe amount of $319,402.76, plus attorney's fees, interest
and costs of suit.
SVT and the Guarantors timely objected to the entry of Confessed Judgment against each.

to the aforesaid judgments and have therefore entered into the following Agreement which is
intended to result in the Release by Clouse of the Guarantors from the Confessed Judgment and any
claims related to that judgment, and the Mutual Release by Guarantors of Clouse from any claims
