INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE PROCEDURE TO STRIKE THE CONFESSED
JUDGMENT ARE SET FORTH BELOW:
Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 2959 - Striking off Judgment
(a)(1) Relief from a judgment by confession shall be sought by petition. Except as
provided in subparagraph (2), 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.
(2) 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 Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 2958.3 or Rule 2973.3.
(3) If written notice is served upon the petitioner pursuant to Rule 2956.1(c)(2) or Rule
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.
(b) 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.
(c) A party waives all defenses and objections which are not included in the petition
or answer.
(d) The petition and the rule to show cause and the answer shall be served as
provided in Rule 440.
(e) The court shall dispose of the rule on petition and answer, and on any testimony,
depositions, admissions and other evidence. The court for cause shown may stay proceedings on
the petition insofar as it seeks to open the judgment pending disposition of the application to
strike off the judgment. If evidence is produced which in a jury trial would require the issues to
be submitted to the jury the court shall open the judgment.
(f) The lien of the judgment or of any levy or attachment shall be preserved while the
proceedings to strike off or open the judgment are pending.
You may have other rights available to you other than as set forth in this notice.
You should take this paper to your lawyer at once. If you do not have a lawyer, go to or
telephone the office set forth below. This office can provide you with information about
hiring a lawyer.

payments of all accrued unpaid interest due. as of each payment date, beginning January 1,, 2005, with all subsequent interest payments to be
due on the same day of each month after that. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any
accrued unpaid Interest; then to principal; then to any unpaid collection costa; and then to any late charges. The annual interest rate for this
Note is computed on a 3651360 basis; that Is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the
outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's
address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate In writing.

Borrower's request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans
based on other rates as well. The Index currently is 5.000% per annum. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this

payments will reduce the principal balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or
similar language, If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower
will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check
