COMPLAINT
BREACH OF CONTRACT
AND NOW, this 16th day of April 2001 comes the plaintiff, James M, Hocker, and
makes the following Complaint against the defendants as follows:
The plaintiff, James M. Hocker, is an adult individual residing at 60 Mountain View
Terrace, Newville, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17241.
The defendant, Ohio Casualty Group, and one of its subsidiaries, American Fire and
Casualty Company, has its regional offices situate at 1781 Powderhom Road, Middletown,
Pennsylvania 17057.
Defendant, AIG Life Insurance Company, is a corporation with its offices located at 501
Cant Road, Suite 200B, Wilmington, Delaware 19809.
Defendant, EPS Settlement Group, is a corporation located at 7265 Kenwood Road, Suite
315, Cincinnati, Ohio 45236. The settlement was reached on or about July 21, 2000.
ARer extensive litigation, the plaintiffreached a settlement with defendant Ohio Casualty
Group which required the defendant to pay to defendant AIG Life Insurance Company the sum of
One Hundred Fifty Thousand and no/100 ($150,000.00) Dollars. That sum was used to obtain a
structured annuity which paid the plaintiff a monthly payment of $1,524.48 per month beginning
on September 10, 2000 and continuing until the plaintiff obtained his sixty-fifth (65th) birthday.
A copy of correspondence is marked as Exhibit "A" and is made a part of this Complaint by
reference.
The defendant, Ohio Casualty Group and/or its subsidiary, American Fire and Casualty
Company, on or about July 21, 2000, sent the sum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and no/100
($150,000.00) Dollars to EPS Settlement Group or AIG Life Insurance Company. These funds
were to be used to begin the structured annuity payments to the plaintiff on September 10, 2000.
A copy of the Settlement Proposal is attached hereto and is marked as Exhibit "B" and is made a
part of this Complaint by reference.
Despite assurances to the plaintiffby defendants that the payment Ohio Casualty Group
and American Fire and Casualty Company had been made, the plaintiff discovered that no such
payment had been received by AIG Life Insurance Company until after October 2000. The
4
plaintiff did not receive annuity payments from AIG Life Insurance Company until ailer
November 3, 2000.
The defendants indirectly or collectively breached their duty to properly proceed with the
implementations of the settlement as agreed to by the pan'ies. Pla'mtiff seeks damages from the
defendants for his lost income, interest, and reasonable legal fees.
WHEREFORE, the pla'mtiff requests judgment against the defendants in the mount
which is less than Twenty-Five Thousand and no/100 ($25,000.00) Dollars with costs and
interest as permitted by law.

Dear Mr. Cameron:
I have enclosed the following information regarding the final settlement of this case:
1, A copy of my correspondence to EPS Settlement Group;
2. The original General Release executed by Mr. James M. Hocker; and
3. The executed OCG Secure Customer Authorization Form.
As I indicated to you by telephone, Mr. Hocker has serious misgiving regarding the OCG
Secure Program. Based on our discussions, however, a traditional check would take much
longer to process than the OCG Secure Program. Please process the information necessary to
complete this settlement as soon as possible.
Very truly yours,

Defendants :
1. Defendants, Ohio Casualty Group and American Fire and Casualty Company,
move this Honorable Court to dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint and award attorney fees and costs of
this litigation against Plaintiffs.
2. Plaintiffs' action arises out of a Settlement Agreement.
3. Plaintiffs agreed to settle this case in the amount of $320,000, with $170,000
being paid to Plaintiff and $150,000 being in the form of a structured settlement.
4. Plaintiff complains that he did not get the first two payments of the structured
settlement in a timely manner.
5. However, Plaintiff's Complaint specifically states that Defendants, Ohio Casualty
Group and American Fire and Casualty Company, made the payment to the structured settlement
company as it agreed. (Plaintiff's Complaint, ~16).
6. Plaintiff fails to state any cause of action or claim against Ohio Casualty Group
and American Fire and Casualty Company, as they performed all duties as set forth in their
agreement.
7. Plaintiff's action is obdurate, vexatious and in bad faith and thus entitles
Defendants to the award of attorney fees as set forth in 42 Pa.C.S.A. §2503.
WHEREFORE, Defendants, Ohio Casualty Group and American Fire and Casualty
Company, request this Honorable Court to dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint for failure to state a
cause of action and to award attorney fees, costs and other expenses of litigation against Plaintiff
pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S.A. §2503.
