AMBASSADOR HOME
IMPROVEMENTS, INC.,
V.
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
CUMBERLAND COUNTY,
Plaintiff PENNSYLVANIA
CIVIL ACTION - LAW AND EQUITY
WILLIAM VOKOUN, NO. Oa- '7033 l_" ??? ler'nt
Defendant
COMPLAINT
Plaintiff Ambassador Home Improvements, Inc., by and through its counsel, Kelly,
Parker & Cohen LLP, respectfully files its Complaint and, in support, avers as follows:
PARTIES
1. Plaintiff Ambassador Home Improvements, Inc. ("Ambassador") is a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and provides home
improvement services to individuals throughout the Central Pennsylvania area. Ambassador's
office is located at 4856 Carlisle Pike Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17050-3026.
2. Defendant William Vokoun ("Mr. Vokoun") is an adult individual with the last
known address of 106 East Main Street, Apartment B, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
A. Ambassador Home Improvements
3. Ambassador is an integrated company which offers replacement windows and
doors, and basement finishings, among other products and services. Since its formation
Ambassador has focused its business on the residential market in the Central Pennsylvania area.
3. Ambassador sells replacement windows and doors under its corporate name and
also under the fictitious name Renewal by Anderson of Central PA which is a registered
fictitious name owned by Ambassador.
4. Ambassador is a family-owned business and has been serving the Central
Pennsylvania area since the 1940's. Ambassador was incorporated in 1978. In the past 50 or
more years Ambassador has developed reputation for providing quality replacement windows
and doors, and has expended substantial time, effort and resources fostering and developing its
name to consumers and homeowners for replacement doors and windows. See Appendix A.
5. Ambassador has provided its services and products through its Carlisle Pike office
in Hampden Township since March, 2008.
6. Previously, Ambassador offered its services and products through its offices at
3907 North Front Street, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
B. William Vokoun's Noncompetition Agreement
7. On or about April 13, 2009, Vokoun became employed by Ambassador to sell the
products and services offered by Ambassador to consumers and homeowners in Central
Pennsylvania.
2
8. As an employee of Ambassador, Mr. Vokoun was provided and had access to
confidential and proprietary information of Ambassador such as the procedures for marketing,
selling, operating and installation of its products, as well as the pricing of its products and
services.
9. In conjunction with and at the initiation of his employment with Ambassador, Mr.
Vokoun entered into a Non-disclosure and Non-competition Agreement ("Non-competition
Agreement") with Ambassador. A true and correct copy of Vokoun's Non-competition
Agreement is attached as Appendix B.
10. In his Non-competition Agreement Vokoun agreed, among other matters, that for
a two-year period following the termination of his employment with Ambassador, Vokoun
would not:
a. engage in or become engaged in any business which competes with
Ambassador's businesses;
b. solicit, divert or otherwise take away any customer of Ambassador who is
or was a customer during the time of employment or other association;
C. solicit, induce or contract with any of Ambassador's employees to leave
Ambassador or to work for Mr. Vokoun or for any company with which Mr. Vokoun is
connected;
d. solicit, divert or take away any of Ambassador's sources of business.
11. The non-competition provisions of the Non-competition Agreement employment
are limited to the area within a 50-mile radius of Ambassador's offices.
3
?t
C Action in Violation of the Non-competition Agreement
12. One of Ambassador's principal competitors in the marketing and sale of
replacement windows and doors is West Shore Window & Door ("WSWD").
13. WSWD is located at 1160 West Trindle Road, Suite C, Mechanicsburg,
Pennsylvania 17055, which is located well within a fifty (50) mile radius of Ambassador's office
on the Carlisle Pike in Hampden Township.
14. In direct competition with Ambassador, WSWD also holds itself out as being
locally owned and operated and as an expert on energy efficiency. See Appendix C.
15. In addition, both Ambassador and WSWD advertise in the same section in the
widely and commonly distributed directories. See Appendix D.
16. As a result, many of the customers who are interested in purchasing replacement
windows and doors will contact or be contacted by both Ambassador and WSWD.
17. Based on information and belief, WSWD has entered into contracts to sell
windows and/or doors to customers who had considered or had agreed to purchase windows
and/or doors from Ambassador.
18. Mr. Vokoun resigned his employment with Ambassador on August 12, 2009, and,
accordingly, the limitations of the Non-competition Agreement are in force until August 12,
2011.
19. Based on information that Mr. Vokoun was intending to accept employment with
WSWD which would be in violation of his Non-competition Agreement, Ambassador, through
its legal counsel, on August 19, 2009, sent a letter to Mr. Vokoun via the United States mail
remind Vokoun of his obligations his Non-competition Agreement and to advise him that
Ambassador believed that his employment with WSWD would constitute a violation of the Non-
4
competition Agreement ("August 19th Letter"). This letter requested that Vokoun immediately
contact Ambassador's counsel to discuss this matter. See Appendix E.
20. Because Vokoun did not respond to the August 19"' Letter, Ambassador, through
counsel, also attempted to contact Vokoun by telephone. A message was delivered to a voice
mail system responding to the telephone call to Vokoun's last know telephone number. However
Vokoun has never responded to either the letter to the telephone message requesting that he
contact Ambassador to discuss these matters.
21. Upon information and belief, Vokoun has accepted employment with WSWD
selling windows and doors in direct competition with Ambassador in violation of the express
terms of his Non-competition Agreement with Ambassador.
COUNTI
BREACH OF CONTRACT
22. The averments set forth in paragraphs 1 through 21 above are incorporated as if
fully set forth.
23. The clear and unambiguous terms of Vokoun's Non-competition Agreement with
Ambassador prohibits Vokoun from competing with Ambassador within fifty (50) of
Ambassador's Carlisle Pike office through August 12, 2011. This prohibition includes
employment with an entity with competes with Ambassador.
24. Because the sale of replacement windows and doors constitutes the principal part
of Ambassador's business, Vokoun is clearly prohibited from marketing and selling replacement
windows and doors in competition with Ambassador.
5
25. Because WSWD is a direct competitor of Ambassador and because Mr. Vokoun
is selling windows for WSWD Vokoun's employment with WSWD constitutes a clear breach of
his obligations in his Non-Competition Agreement with Ambassador.
26. The restrictions and limitations contained the Non-competition Agreement are
narrowly tailored to protect Ambassador's business and market interest by restricting Vokoun
only from acting in a sales representative capacity in the particular market and service lines
offered by Ambassador.
27. The Non-competition Agreement does not restrict Vokoun's right to be engaged
in the field of construction or any of the numerous other field employing salespeople not in direct
competition with Ambassador.
28. Prior to his voluntary termination of employment with Ambassador, Vokoun was
specifically reminded of the restrictions set forth in the Non-competition Agreement. Further,
Vokoun was also notified of his obligations under the Non-competition Agreement when he
received the August 19th Letter.
29. The limitations and restrictions contained in the Non-competition Agreement are
reasonable both as to length and geographical area and are reasonably and narrowly tailored to
protect Ambassador's legitimate business interests.
30. Vokoun's violation of the Non-competition Agreement has caused economic
injuries to Ambassador as well as causing potentially irreparable injuries to Ambassador.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Ambassador Home Improvements, Inc., respectfully requests
that his Court enter judgment in its favor and against Defendant William Vokoun including, but
not limited to, a preliminary and permanent injunction prohibiting the Defendant from his
continued violation of the Non-competition Agreement through his unauthorized and illegal
6
actions in competition with Ambassador Home Improvements, Inc. until August 12, 2011,
together with such other relief the Court deems just, equitable and appropriate, including
reasonable attorney fees and costs.
Respectfully submitted,

AMBASSADOR HOME IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
IMPROVEMENTS, INC., CUMBERLAND COUNTY,
Plaintiff PENNSYLVANIA
V. : CIVIL ACTION - LAW AND EQUITY
WILLIAM VOKOUN, : NO.
Defendant
PLAINTIFF AMBASSADOR HOME IMPROVEMENT INC.'S VERIFIED PETITION
FOR SPECIAL AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
PURSUANT TO PA. R. CIV. P. 1531
Plaintiff Ambassador Home Improvements, Inc., by and through its counsel, Kelly,
Parker & Cohen LLP, respectfully files this Motion for Special and Preliminary Injunction
Pursuant to Pa. R. Civ. P. 1531 and, in support thereof, sets forth the following:
PARTIES AND BACKGROUND
Plaintiff Ambassador Home Improvements, Inc. ("Ambassador"), is a
Pennsylvania corporation which provides home improvement services to individuals through its
office located at 4856 Carlisle Pike Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17050-3026.
2. Ambassador offers replacement windows and doors and basement finishings,
among other products and services through an integrated business operation.
3. Ambassador sells its replacement windows and doors through its name and also
through the fictitious name Renewal by Anderson of Central Pennsylvania.
4. Ambassador advertises itself as a family owned business offering energy efficient
solutions. See Appendix A.
5. Ambassador has provided services through its Carlisle Pike office in Hampden
Township since March, 2008.
6. Prior to that time, Ambassador offered its services through its offices at 3907
North Front Street, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
7. Defendant William Vokoun ("Vokoun") is an adult individual with the last known
address of 106 East Main Street, Apartment B, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055.
NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT
8. On or about April 13, 2009, Vokoun entered into an employment relationship
with Ambassador through which Mr. Vokoun was to sell to consumers in Central Pennsylvania
the products and services offered by Ambassador.
9. At the time of the commencement of his employment with Ambassador, Vokoun
entered into a Non-disclosure and Non-competition Agreement ("Non-competition Agreement")
with Ambassador. A true and correct copy of the Non-competition Agreement is attached as
Appendix B.
10. As an employee of Ambassador, Vokoun was provided and had access to
Ambassador's manufacturing details, and procedures for marketing, selling, operating and
installation of its products as well as the pricing of its products and services.
11. In his Non-competition Agreement Vokoun agreed, among other matters, that for
a two-year period following the termination of his employment with Ambassador he would not:
a. engage in or become engaged in any business which competes with
Ambassador's businesses;
b. solicit, divert or otherwise take away any customer of Ambassador who is
or was a customer during the time of employment or other association;
C. solicit, induce or contract with any of Ambassador's employees to leave
Ambassador or to work for Mr. Vokoun or for any company with which Vokoun is
connected;
d. solicit, divert or take away any of Ambassador's sources of business.
12. The noncompetition restrictions and limitations in the Non-competition
Agreement are limited to the area within a 50-mile radius of Ambassador's offices.
ACTIONS IN VIOLATION OF THE NON-COMEPTITION AGREEMENT
13. One of Ambassador's principal competitors in the sale of replacement windows
and doors is West Shore Window & Door ("WSWD").
14. WSWD is located at 1160 West Trindle Road, Suite C, Mechanicsburg,
Pennsylvania 17055, which is well within a 50-mile radius of Ambassador's Carlisle Pike office.
15. WSWD, as does Ambassador, holds itself out as being locally owned and
operated and as an expert on energy efficiency. See Appendix C.
16. In addition, both Ambassador and WSWD advertise in the same section in widely
and commonly distributed directories and similar advertising vehicles. See Appendix D.
17. As a result, many of the customers who are interested in purchasing replacement
windows and doors will contact or be contacted by both Ambassador and WSWD.
`t
18. Based on information and belief, WSWD has entered into contracts to sell
windows and/or doors to customers who had considered or had agreed to purchase windows
and/or doors from Ambassador.
19. Vokoun resigned his employment with Ambassador on August 12, 2009.
Accordingly, the Provisions of the Non-competition Agreement relating to non-competition are
in force until August 12, 2011.
20. At that time, in a meeting with management of Ambassador, Vokoun was
reminded of the obligations in his Non-competition Agreement.
21. Based on information that Vokoun was going to accept employment with WS",
on August 19, 2009, Ambassador's counsel sent Vokoun a letter to again remind him of his
duties under the Non-competition Agreement and to advise him that Ambassador believes that
employment with WSWD would violate of the Non-competition Agreement. See Appendix E.
22. Notwithstanding these notices, Vokoun accepted an employment position with
WSWD selling windows and doors in direct competition with Ambassador, and is now
competing with Ambassador in violation of the Non-competition Agreement.
A SPECIAL AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION SHOULD BE ISSUED
A. Standards for a Preliminary Injunction
23. Pennsylvania courts have established that in order for a preliminary injunction to
be issued the Plaintiff must establish four (4) elements:
a. a likelihood of success on the merits;
b. a showing of immediate and irreparable harm that cannot be compensated
by monetary damages;
C. a showing that greater injury will result if preliminary injunctive relief is
denied than if injunctive relief is granted; and
d. a showing that a preliminary injunction would maintain the status quo.
Milicic v. Basketball Marketing Co., Inc., 857 A.2d 689 (Pa. Super. 2004).
24. It is clear that Vokoun violated his Non-competition Agreement when he began
employment with WSWD, which is a principal competitor of Ambassador in the replacement
window and door market.
25. There is no adequate remedy at law that would redress the impending harm and
loss resulting from Vokoun's competition because, inter alia, Ambassador receives much of its
business through direct and personal contacts from its sales representatives and from referrals
and word-of-mouth from existing customers and, therefore, it would be impossible to determine
the amount of business lost from potential customers improperly diverted from Ambassador as a
result of Vokoun's breach of the Non-competition Agreement.
26. Greater injury would result from this Court's refusal to grant injunction than
granting the injunction because Ambassador will lose customers and potential customers to
WSWD, along with Ambassador losing the referrals from those customers. On the contrary,
Vokoun is free to work as a salesperson in the field of construction or any other field as long as it
is not in direct competition with Ambassador.
27. An injunction would maintain the status quo because Vokoun will not be
competing with Ambassador which was the status prior to his breach.
28. Ambassador is likely to prevail on the merits because the Non-competition
Agreement was validly entered into by the parties, the limitations and restrictions in the Non-
competition Agreement are reasonable in time and scope and are necessary for the reasonable
?f
protection of Ambassador's legitimate business interests, and apply to Vokoun subsequent to the
termination of his employment with Ambassador.
29. Therefore, the injunction is reasonably suited to abate the offending activity and
to restrict Vokoun from competing with Ambassador within the restricted area in violation of his
Non-competition Agreement, but would not prevent Vokoun from working as a salesperson in
any other non-competing field.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Ambassador Home Improvements, Inc., respectfully requests
that his Court issue a special and preliminary injunction pursuant to Pa. R. Civ. P. 1531 and
enjoin Defendant William Vokoun from competing with Ambassador in violation of the Non-
competition Agreement during the pendency of this lawsuit, up to a period of no longer than
August 12, 2011, together with such other relief the Court deems just, equitable and appropriate,
including reasonable attorney fees and costs.

Re: Ambassador Home Improvements Inc. - Nondisclosure and Noncompetition
Agreement
Dear Mr. Vokoun:
We are counsel for Ambassador Home Improvements Inc, ("Ambassador") and have
been requested to contact you regarding the Nondisclosure and Noncompetition Agreement
("Noncompetition Agreement") you entered into on April 13, 2009 with Ambassador. An
additional copy of the Noncompetition Agreement is enclosed.
As you are aware, the Noncompetition Agreement which you executed provides, among
other matters, that for a two-year period following the termination of your employment with
Ambassador you will not:
(1) engage in or become engaged in any business which competes with
Ambassador's businesses;
(2) solicit, divert or otherwise take away any customer of Ambassador who is or
was a customer during the time of employment or other association;
(3) solicit, induce or contract with any of Ambassador's employees to leave
Ambassador or to work for you or for any company with which you are
cormected;
(4) solicit, divert or take away any of Ambassador's sources of business.
William Vokoun
August 19, 2009
Page 2
These obligations apply to you regardless of whether you are self-employed or acting as
an employee, agent or in any ownership or management capacity with another person or entity,
and whether the activities are directly or indirectly in conflict with your legal obligations in the
Noncompetition Agreement. These limitations or restrictions are limited to the area within a
fifty-mile radius of Ambassador's offices.
We understand that you resigned your employment with Ambassador on August 12, 2009
and, accordingly, these limitations and restrictions will be in force until August 12, 2011.
Ambassador has asked that we contact you to confirm your awareness and
acknowledgment of the obligations set forth in your Noncompetition Agreement. It is also
Ambassador's understanding that you may be contemplating assuming a position with West
Shore Window & Door. On behalf of Ambassador, we want to make it clear and explicit that
Ambassador considers employment with West Shore Window & Door to be a violation of your
Noncompetition Agreement and Ambassador will take immediate legal action to prevent a
violation of your obligations in the Noncompetition Agreement.
We request that you contact us immediately so that we can confirm your understanding
and your agreement to comply with the terms of the Noncompetition Agreement and to confirm
that you have not accepted, and are not planning to accept, employment with West Shore
Window & Door. If you are represented by legal counsel, please forward this letter to your
counsel with the request that they contact us.
Very truly yours,

WILLIAM VOKOUN, : No. 09-7033 Civil
Defendant (Judge Ebert)
RESPONSE OF AMBASSADOR HOME IMPROVEMENTS, INC.,
TO DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE
Plaintiff Ambassador Home Improvements, Inc. ("Ambassador"), by its counsel, Kelly,
Parker & Cohen LLP, respectfully submits its Response to the Motion of Defendant William
Vokoun requesting a continuance of the hearing on Ambassador's request for a special or
preliminary injunction currently scheduled for October 30, 2009, as follows:
1. In his Motion for Continuance, Vokoun asserts that he obtained counsel, John M.
Kerr, Esquire, on October 26, 2009, but that his counsel has recently had knee surgery (on
October 22) and that counsel has only recently returned to his office.
2. Accordingly, Vokoun requests a "short continuance" in order that Mr. Kerr may
prepare for the hearing.
3. Ambassador's counsel has spoken with Mr. Kerr and indicated, in light of the
basis for the request for a continuance, that Ambassador does not oppose the request for a "short
continuance" if the Court can reschedule the hearing for the week of November 2 or, perhaps, the
week of November 9.
4. Ambassador's counsel also indicated to Mr. Kerr that they would advise the
Court of Ambassador's concurrence in the Motion. Ambassador's counsel did also advise
Mr. Kerr that the Court's schedule may not permit the granting of the relief sought by Vokoun.
5. Ambassador's counsel can make themselves available at all times during the
weeks of November 2 and November 9, except for the mornings of November 3, 6, and 9.
WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff Ambassador Home Improvements,
Inc., does not oppose the Motion of Defendant William Vokoun for a "short continuance" of the
hearing currently scheduled for October 30, 2009, if the Court's calendar allows that the hearing
be held the week of November 2, 2009, or November 9, 2009.
