Sultzbaugh Escrow Agreement Dear Executor Sultzbaugh: I represent Green Ridge Leasing, LLC, a Pennsylvania Limited Liability Company managed by W. Wayde Kelly. Green Ridge Leasing, LLC is proposing to purchase a one -half (1/2) undivided interest in the farm property at 2720 Lisburn Road, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. The purpose of this letter is to confirm that an amount of forty thousand one hundred ninety seven dollars and 79 cents ($40,197.79) will be held in my non - interest bearing escrow account from the sale proceeds of the real estate due the Estate in order to pass clear title to Green Ridge Leasing, LLC. This amount will remain in my escrow account and is intended to address unpaid Pennsylvania Inheritance Tax and interest/penalties thereon associated with the Estate of Caroline W. Sultzbaugh. Yesterday I was informed by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue that interest on unpaid inheritance tax would be reduced to one -half of the amount due as part of an amnesty program in April of 2010. Accordingly, this letter will confirm that I plan on paying the principal amount of $31,779.00 together with an interest payment of $3,100.00 on or about April 2, 2010 from my escrow account. The balance of the escrow funds will be held in my escrow account pending receipt of a Notice of Acceptance from the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. In addition, Pennsylvania Realty transfer tax will be due on the one -half ownership interest transferred to Green Ridge Leasing, LLC. At this point, transfer tax will be paid on one -half (1/2) of the assessed value due to the transfer of the' /2 interest to Green Ridge. The transfer tax of $2,087.26, the other half of the transfer tax, should be exempt due to a transfer to a beneficiary of the Estate for which real estate transfer tax is typically not charged. However, in the event any audit by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue on this transfer causes additional transfer tax to arise as a result of a less than fair market value transfer claim, all or a portion of the Escrow proceeds held in my escrow account will be used to pay for such tax claim, should such arise. a Estate of Caroline W. Sultzbaugh c/o Keith Sultzbaugh, Executor February - 25, 2010 Page 2 Also, unpaid additional probate fees of $250.00 will be paid to the Register of Wills from the settlement proceeds, but if additional probate fees would be determined to be due in the future, they will be paid out of the Escrow proceeds. I anticipate that the Estate will receive a notice from the Department of Revenue regarding the inheritance issue prior to December 31, 2010. However, in the event that the notice has not been received by that date, I reserve the hold back enough from the escrow to cover additional taxes, interest and penalties, if applicable. The settlement sheet will depict the amount held in my escrow. In addition, I am willing to consider requests to release the escrow proceeds for payment of various 2010 and 2010/2011 county, municipal and school taxes upon written agreement and directive. I am asking that each party sign this letter confirming the terms of this escrow agreement. Estate of Caroline . S tzbaugh Green Rid easing, LL Keith A. C aroline gh, ecutor W.

Rupp, Jr., Esquire c/o Keith Sultzbaugh, Executor 4700 Oakhust Blvd, A -111 Harrisburg, PA 17110 In Re: Estate of Caroline W. Sultzbaugh Letter of Intent Dear Attorney Rupp and Executor Sultzbaugh: I represent Green Ridge Leasing, LLC, a Pennsylvania Limited Liability Company managed by W. Wayde Kelly. Green Ridge Leasing, LLC hereby submits this Letter of Intent in association with closing on the purchase of a one -half undivided interest in the farm owned by the Estate for an amount approaching $250,000.00. Presently, it is our understanding that the Estate is subject to a foreclosure proceeding with a payoff of $201,874.92, outstanding real estate taxes (not current taxes in 2010) of $10,321.29, transfer tax based upon assessed value of approximately $2,100.00 and closing costs. These amounts will approach $250,000.00. In association with payment of this amount, Green Ridge Leasing, LLC would become a fee simple owner of one -half (* 1/2) of the farm property and Green Ridge Leasing, LLC would agree to execute a right of first refusal granting Keith Sultzbaugh or the Estate the right to purchase the interest of Green Ridge Leasing, LLC for a period of one year at an amount equal to the investment of Green Ridge Leasing, LLC, with interest at a variable interest rate above four (.04 %) percent. In the event you or the Estate is not capable of purchasing the interest of Green Ridge Leasing, LLC in accordance with the terms of the right of first refusal, Green Ridge could pursue a partition of the real estate or renegotiate terms of repayment after one year. We understand that your brother's family maintains an interest in the Estate. We believe that this approach is fair under the circumstances as it will eliminate the outstanding debts which could cause a complete loss of Estate assets, permit the residential real estate to be sold later this year and thereafter cash to be divided or distributed at that time. Essentially, this proposal would constitute an advance of at least $250,000.00 to Keith Sultzbaugh, and would permit an advance to your brother's heirs from the sale proceeds of the residential property which may occur later this year. Whether or not you execute a note or other form of agreement with your brother's heirs is up to you at terms which you and they need to agree. Time is of the essence in these matters because of a pending sheriffs sale scheduled for March 3, 2010. 1 e a Estate of Caroline W. Sultzbaugh c/o Herbert G. Rupp, Jr., Esquire c/o Keith Sultzbaugh, Executor February 22, 2010 Page 2 Enclosed please find a draft deed, a draft right of first refusal and a copy of a Payoff faxed to me from the bank last week. We will need an agreement of sale to formalize these discussions contained in this Letter of Intent which is intended to be used for negotiation purposes in arriving at a satisfactory agreement with all interested parties. We should be prepared to settle this matter on Friday. Please confirm whether or not the terms contained herein are acceptable to all interested parties. Very truly yours, AN 4W C.

KEITH A. SULTZABAUGH, Defendant : IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF : CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA : CIVIL ACTION — EQUITY : Docket No.: 13-2251 : PARTITION OF REAL PROPERTY DEFENDANT'S MOTION IN LIMINE NOW COMES, Defendant, Keith A. Sultzbaugh ("Mr. Sultzbaugh"), by and through his attorneys, Capozzi Adler, P.C., and files the following Motion to preclude Plaintiffs evidence regarding formation of the Agreement and Right of First Refusal to Purchase Real Estate: 1. Per the Scheduling Order entered by the Honorable Edward E. Guido on July 8, 2014, Plaintiffs counsel provided copies of Exhibits Plaintiff intends to introduce at trial. 2. The Exhibits include a copy of the Agreement and Right of First Refusal to Purchase Real Estate ("Agreement") and copies of letters .to Plaintiff and Mr. Sultzbaugh and a letter to Mr. Sultzbaugh. 3. The Agreement provides, "For purposes of this Agreement, this agreement has been reviewed by attorneys for both parties and disputes involving this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and in the County of Cumberland, Pennsylvania." 1 4. The Agreement is a contract drafted by Plaintiffs counsel and was reviewed by Plaintiffs counsel prior to Plaintiffs execution of the Agreement, therefore any testimony or exhibits concerning any prior discussions or agreements between the parties are barred by the parol evidence rule. 5. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has explained the parol evidence rule as follows: Where the parties, without any fraud or mistake, have deliberately put their engagements in writing, the law declares the writing to be not only the best, but the only, evidence of their agreement. All preliminary negotiations, conversations and verbal agreements are merged in and superseded by the subsequent written contract . . . and unless fraud, accident or mistake be averred, the writing constitutes the agreement between the parties, and its terms and agreements cannot be added to nor subtracted from by parol evidence. Yocca v. Pittsburgh Steelers Sports, Inc., 854 A.2d 425, 436 (pa. 2004) (quoting Gianni v. Rusell, 126 A. 791, 792 (Pa. 1924)). 6. In order for the parol evidence rule to apply, "there must be a writing that represents the entire contract between the parties." Id. 7. A writing is the entire contract between the parties "if it appears to be a contract complete within itself, couched in such terms as import a complete legal obligation without any uncertainty as to the object or extent of the [parties] engagement ..." Id. 8. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania further reasoned, "Once a writing is determined to be the parties' entire contract, the parol evidence rule applies and evidence of any previous oral or written negotiations or agreements involving the same subject matter as the contract is almost always inadmissible to explain or vary the terms of the contract." Id at 436- 37. 9. Because the Agreement was reviewed by Plaintiffs attorney prior to executing it 2 and comprises all of the terms essential to the parties' continued relationship, the Agreement is the entire contract between the parties. 10. Therefore, all evidence presented by Plaintiff of negotiations or representations made by either party prior to the execution of the Agreement is parol evidence which is not admissible as a matter of law. 11. Defendant's counsel sought the concurrence of Plaintiffs counsel and concurrence was not granted. WHEREFORE, Defendant, respectfully requests that this Court enter an Order precluding Plaintiff from arguing or offering evidence or testimony related to discussions or negotiations prior to executing the Agreement and Right of First Refusal to Purchase Real Estate.

Russo, P.C. and avers the following in support of its response to Defendant's Motion in Limine: 1. Admitted. 2. Admitted with qualifications. While the averments contained in paragraph 2 are admitted, the same exhibits were attached to Plaintiffs Complaint. 3. Admitted. 4. Denied. While the Agreement was drafted by counsel for both parties, counsel failed to include an integration clause in the Agreement. Given the existence of counsel for both parties, it must be concluded that an integration clause was purposefully omitted in the Agreement. Since the Agreement lacks an integration clause or similar clause which clearly expresses that the agreement contained the complete agreement of the parties, the Parol Evidence Rule does not control. 5. Admitted with qualifications. Defendant has accurately set forth the explanation of the Parol Evidence Rule however it is inapplicable since the parties never included an integration clause which clearly expressed that the agreement contained the complete agreement of the parties. As such, the Parol Evidence Rule is not applicable. This specific issue has been reviewed by the Superior Court in Voracek v. Crown Castle USA Inc., 907 A.2d 1105 (Pa. Super. 2006) which stated: Although parol evidence generally cannot be introduced to change the terms of a writing which contains an integration clause because such a clause is intended to represent the complete expression of the parties' agreement, Kehr Packages v. Fidelity Bank, N.A., 710 A.2d 1169, 1174 (Pa. Super. 1998), extrinsic evidence is admissible for the purpose of showing that by reason of mistake, fraud or accident, the written instrument does not express the actual intention of the parties. Hart v. Arnold, 884 A.2d 316 (Pa. Super. 2005). 6. Admitted with qualifications. Defendant has accurately set forth when the Parol Evidence Rule should apply however it is inapplicable since the agreement does not contain a writing which clearly expressed that the agreement contained the complete agreement of the parties. 7. Admitted. 8. Admitted with qualifications. Since the writing does not clearly express that the agreement contained the complete agreement of the parties and as such Plaintiff should be entitled to show there was a mutual mistake in the drafting of the Agreement as set forth by the Superior Court in Voracek v. Crown Castle USA Inc., 907 A.2d 1105 (Pa. Super. 2006). 9. Denied. The fact that an either party's attorney reviewed a document does not, in and of itself, create the requisite expression that the agreement contained the complete agreement of the parties sufficient to invoke the Parol Evidence Rule. Absent the clear expression that the agreement contained the complete agreement of the parties, the Parol Evidence Rule does not apply. 10. Denied. The law supports Plaintiffs position that the Parol Evidence Rule does not apply and evidence may be introduced to show the mutual mistake of the parties relative to the temis of the Agreement. 11.

Denied. It is specifically denied that the parties reached a final settlement agreement regarding division of the subject property during their September 26, 2014 conference. Although the parties discussed division of the subject property, the specific location of the boundary dividing the subject property was not agreed upon at the aforesaid conference. It was understood among the parties that settlement of this matter was contingent upon the mutually acceptable location of said boundary line. To date, this location has not been agreed upon by the parties and, therefore, is not accurately reflected in Plaintiff's proposed Stipulation of the Parties. 6. Admitted. 7. Admitted. -8. Admitted. 9. Admitted. 10. Admitted. 11. Admitted. By way of further answer, the draft Stipulation of the Parties provided to Defendant was prepared solely by Plaintiff and does not accurately reflect the settlement discussions between the parties at the conference on September 26, 2014. Specifically, the location of the boundary line dividing the subject property has not been agreed upon by the parties and is not accurately reflected in the proposed Stipulation of the Parties. Accordingly, Plaintiff has declined to sign the Stipulation, but remains committed to resolving this matter by way of a mutually agreeable stipulation. Defendant's counsel was advised that further discussions between the parties were necessary to clarify the Stipulation of the Parties, but has declined to pursue such a dialogue. 12. Admitted.
