Defendant is Merrick Wilson, AKA Rick Wilson, (Wilson), who is an adult individual who resides at 1332 Moon Drive, Yardley, Bucks County, Pennsylvania 19067. 3. On July 18,2000, Wilson, individually and as President/Owner of Presidential Hill LLC, executed a Builder Agreement in which Presidential Hill, LLC agreed to become a member in the QBW lO-year Limited Warranty Program. A copy of said agreement is attached hereto and incorporated herein and marked as Exhibit 1. 4. Wilson executed the agreement as guarantor of the perfonnance of Presidential Hill, LLC. 5. Presidential Hill, LLC breached its Builder Agreement with QBW by failing to properly address the complaints of a property owner at 15 Chaney Drive, Pennington, NJ 08534, which home was constructed by Presidential Hill, LLC and enrolled in the QBW Limited Warranty Program. 6. On May 15,2003, a Compliance Award Arbitration indicated that Presidential Hill, LLC was in default of its obligations under and pursuant to the Limited Warranty Agreement. 7. Wilson placed his endorsement on the Builder Agreement, indicating that he agreed to indemnify and save hannless Quality Builders Warranty Corporation against and all actions, claims, liability or loss whatsoever that may result from Presidential Hill, LLC's membership in the QBW ten year Limited Warranty Program. 8. By virtue of Presidential Hill, LLC's default, under its Builder Agreement, QBW had to undertake the builder's responsibilities. 9. In accordance with paragraph C.2 of the Builder Agreement, the builder agrees to reimburse QBW of all expenses incurred in perfonnWl:l their obligations, including but not limited to cost of materials, cost of collection, labor, architect's fees, engineering fees and counsel fees. 10. As a result of Presidential Hill, LLC's breach, QBW Confessed Judgement against Presidential Hill, LLC on May 23, 2003, in the swn of $28,500.00.

As of this date, Presidential Hill, LLC has not paid the amount of Judgement and therefore, Wilson as the Indemnitor of Presidential Hill, LLC performance, is liable to QBW for the amount of the Judgement. 13. Additionally, Wilson is liable for additional attorney's fees and costs in connection with Presidential Hill, LLC's default and collection of the amounts due as follows: A. Attorney's fees $ 11,200.00 B. Arbitration fees $ 1975.00 C. Filing fees $ 179.50 D. Engineering/Inspection fees, $ 530.77 Total $ 13,885.27 14. As a result of the foregoing, Presidential Hill, LLC breached its Builder Agreement, therefore Wilson as indemnitor, is liable to QBW for all sums owed to it by virtue of Presidential Hill, LLC's breach of its Builder Agreement. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Quality Builders Warranty Corporation, demands Judgement against Defendant Merrick Wilson, AKA Rick Wilson in the sum of $ 42,385.27 plus attorney's fees and cost as authorized by the Builder Agreement attached as Exhibit I, and such other relief as the Court deems just.

Wilson AKA Rick Wilson's Builder Agreement pertaining to substantiation of amounts due by Affidavit in connection with Confession of Judgment. The Builder Agreement is attached to this Complaint and marked as Exhibit A. Presidential Hills, LLC and Mathew R. Wilson AKA Rick Wilson have breached their Builder Agreement with Quality Builders Warranty by failing to properly address homeowner complaints as required under the Builder Agreement. An Arbitration Award was rendered on August 2,2002 between the Defendants and the Property Owner at 15 Cheyenne Drive, Pennington, New Jersey 08534. The Arbitration Award clearly set forth the Defendant's repair responsibility at the aforementioned property. The Builder submitted a Method of Repair that the Homeowner disputed and a Method of Repair Arbitration Award was rendered on December 23, 2002. Adequate repairs were not conducted and on May 14, 2003 a Compliance Arbitration Award was issued. Quality Builders has attempted on numerous occasions through telephone calls and letters to the Defendant to obtain adequate assurance from Presidential Hills, LLC and Mathew R. Wilson AKA Rick Wilson that they will perform their obligations under the Builder Agreement and the Arbitration Awards. Despite these repeated requests Defendants Presidential Hills, LLC and Mathew R. Wilson AKA Rick Wilson have not provided adequate assurance that they will assume their responsibilities. Pursuant to Section B 6 ( e) of the attached Builder Agreement (See Exhibit A) Quality Builders Warranty Corporation is empowered to seek damages from the Defendants for failing to perform their obligations and failing to provide adequate assurances that they will do so. As such, Quality Builders Warranty is authorized to confess judgment against Defendants in the amount of $25,000, which is the estimated cost to secure performance and with estimated Attorney's Fees in the amount of $3,500. I declare that the foregoing facts are within my personal knowledge and are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information and belief. False statements herein are made subject to the penalties of 18 Pa. C.S.A. S 4904 relating to unsworn falsification to authorities. Date: May 23, 2003 .

Defendant is Merrick Wilson, aka Rick Wilson, (Wilson) who is an adult individual who resides at 1332 Moon Drive, Yardley Bucks County Pennsylvania, 19067. 3. On June 24, 2004, QBW instituted the within Action against Wilson. Service of the Complaint was effectuated on October 8, 2004, in accordance with this Court's Order of September 27,2004, authorizing service by alternative means. 4. On November 3, 2004, Wilson filed an answer to the Complaint admitting the amount of $28,500, due and owing. 5. Accordingly, QBW entered Judgement in accordance with Pa. R.C.P 1037 for an amount admitted to be due in the sum of $28,500. . , 6. QBW forwarded Wilson's Attorney, Craig A. Diehl, a Notice of Deposition in aid of Execution, the Deposition date being November 24, 2004. A copy of Notice of Deposition is attached as Exhibit 1. 7. Wilson's Counsel indicated a conflict on that date, and on November 23,2004, after speaking to opposing Counsel's office, who consulted with Wilson, a mutually agreeable Deposition date of December 2,2004, was agreed upon. 8. On November 24, 2004, QBW forwarded Wilson a revised Notice of Deposition, Duces Tecum, scheduling the Deposition for the agreed upon date of December 2, 2004, at 3:00 PM. A copy of the Notice of Deposition is attached hereto and incorporated herein and marked as Exhibit 2. 9.

QBW's Counsel contacted Attorney Diehl on December 2,2004, in an attempt to resolve the Discovery Dispute and requested alternate days for Deposition. 12. On December 6, 2004, QBW received a letter from Attorney Diehl indicating the first time his client is now available for a Deposition is January 3, 2005. 13. Wilson has delayed the Depositions and there is no reason for further delay. 14. Based on the fact that the Deposition was rescheduled for December 2, 2004 after consultation with Counsel, the failure of Wilson to disclose a prior conflict, the failure to provide realistic altt:rnate dates and the documentation requested in the Notice of Deposition, Duces Tecum, QBW requests an Order compelling the attendance of Wilson at a deposition on December 20, 2004, as well as an Award of Sanction including attorney's fees in having the file the within Motion. 15.
