JURISDICTION AND VENUE 3. This court has jurisdiction pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. §931(a). 4.

RELEVANT FACTS 5. Rite Aid is a national drug store chain with its principal office in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 6. At all times relevant to this Complaint, Hebert was involved in the manufacture, sale and distribution of candy products (collectively "Products") 7.

On October 29, 2007, Rite Aid and Hebert entered into a Guaranteed Sales Agreement ("GSA") in which Hebert "guarantee[d] the sale of [Hebert's] product to Rite Aid at both Customer Service Centers (i.e. distribution centers) and retail locations." A true and correct copy of the GSA, a valid and enforceable written contract, is attached to this Complaint as Exhibit A. 9. Under the GSA, Rite Aid had the right to return all unsold product to Hebert for a cash refund. 10. Specifically, the GSA provided: If at any time Rite Aid determines in its sole discretion that Vendor's product(s) performance continues to be unacceptable, Rite Aid will have the right to return at Vendor's expense all unsold product(s) to Vendor's facility in return for Vendor's cash payment to Rite Aid for any products for which Rite Aid has paid, but have not been sold. See Exhibit A. 11. On October 29, 2007, Rite Aid and Hebert also entered into a Rite Aid Returns Agreement ("Returns Agreement") that provided the manner in which Hebert's products could be returned to Hebert. A true and correct copy of the Returns Agreement, a valid and enforceable written contract, is attached to this Complaint as Exhibit B. 12. The Returns Agreement permitted Hebert to direct how Rite Aid should handle damaged, defective, outdated and discontinued goods ("unsaleable product"). See Exhibit B. -2- 13. Hebert decided that the unsaleable product should be scanned and disposition then left to the discretion of Rite Aid and Hebert agreed to pay a fee for this particular method of disposition. See Exhibit B. 14. Hebert also agreed to pay the following processing fees for damaged, defective, outdated, and discontinued goods: Direct Product Cost - $0.085; Post Damage - $0.111, Ops through Scan - $0.101, all totaling $0.297. See Exhibit B. 15. On October 6, 2008, Hebert also entered into Promotional Funding Agreements with Rite Aid whereby it agreed to fund the marketing and advertising of Hebert Products. True and correct copies of the Promotional Funding Agreements, valid and enforceable written contracts, are attached to this Complaint as Exhibit C. 16. Pursuant to the Promotional Funding Agreements, Hebert agreed to deduct the marketing costs from the amounts owing by Rite Aid. See Exhibit C. 17. Hebert also signed Rite Aid Incremental Investment Agreements whereby it agreed to fund retail store markdowns, scandowns, fixture displays and manufacturer coupons. True and correct copies of the Incremental Investment Agreements, valid and enforceable written contracts, are attached to this Complaint as Exhibit D. 18. Due to the fees and expenses charged pursuant to the agreements listed in paragraphs 7 through 17 above ("Fees"), as of January 22, 2010, Hebert's account with Rite Aid has a $224,480.44 negative balance, which is expected to grow after all returns are processed and other account charge backs are applied. 19. On information and belief, the amount due and owing to Rite Aid will continue to increase. -3- 20. As of the date of the filing of this Complaint, Hebert is in breach of the GSA, Returns Agreement, Promotional Funding Agreement, Incremental Investment Agreements and other related account contracts and agreements because it refuses to pay Rite Aid the negative balance on its account. COUNTI BREACH OF CONTRACT 21. Rite Aid incorporates the averments in paragraphs 1 through 20 above as if fully set forth herein. 22. As noted in paragraphs 7- 17 above, Rite Aid and Hebert entered into various valid and enforceable written agreements under which Hebert agreed to pay certain Fees. 23. To date, Hebert owes Rite Aid $224,480.44 in Fees. A statement of the account of the negative balances and summary sheets reflecting this amount is attached as Exhibit E. 24. Despite repeated requests, Hebert refuses to pay the negative account balance of $224,480.44 to Rite Aid. 25. Rite Aid has performed all conditions precedent under the GSA, Returns Agreement, Promotional Funding Agreement, Incremental Investment Agreements and all related agreements under the account. 26. Hebert is in breach of the GSA, Returns Agreement, Promotional Funding Agreement, Incremental Investment Agreements and all related agreements because it has failed to pay the negative balance on its account. 27. As of January 22, 2010, Rite Aid has suffered damages in excess of $224,480.44, an amount that will increase as additional returns and other Fees are processed, due to the breaches of Hebert. -4- WHEREFORE, Rite Aid requests judgment in an amount in excess of $224,480.44, plus interest, costs and all other amounts deemed appropriate by the Court. COUNT II UNJUST ENRICHMENT 28. Rite Aid incorporates the averments in paragraphs 1 through 27 above as if fully set forth herein. 29. In the event Hebert contends no contractual relationship exists, Rite Aid is entitled to recover the outstanding amounts to prevent Hebert from being unjustly enriched. 30. As is customary in the industry, Hebert was to pay for certain Fees associated with the sale of its product. 31. Hebert owes Rite Aid $224,480.44 in Fees. 32. Rite Aid has a reasonable expectation to receive the Fees incurred. 33. Hebert reasonably should have expected to pay the Fees as such Fees are custom in the industry. 34. It would be inequitable for Hebert to receive the benefit of the $224,480.44 still owed to Rite Aid. 35. In the event the contracts are deemed to be unenforceable, Rite Aid has no adequate remedy at law. 36. Rite Aid is entitled to collect the outstanding balance, plus interest, from Hebert under the doctrine of unjust enrichment. -5- WHEREFORE, Rite Aid requests that judgment be entered against Hebert in the amount of $224,480.44 plus interest, costs and all other amounts deemed appropriate by the Court.
