IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS T/A THE PIGOTT AGENCY CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA Plaintiff V. No. ABC MANUFACTURING, INC. CIVIL ACTION - LAW T/A MALTA WINDOWS & DOORS Defendant COMPLAINT And now comes the Plaintiff, James P. Pigott, Jr., t/a The Pigott Agency ( "Pigott") by its attorney, James R. Clippinger, Esquire, of Caldwell & Kearns and files the within Complaint against Defendant ABC Manufacturing, Inc. t/a Malta Windows & Doors ( "Malta "), and in support thereof avers the following: 1. Plaintiff Pigott is an adult individual who resides and maintains his principal place of business at 522 Appalachian Avenue, Upper Allen Township, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17055. 2. Defendant Malta is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Ohio under and using the registered name of Malta Windows & Doors and which maintains a principal place of business at 210 Thirteenth Street, Malta, Ohio 43758. 3. Jurisdiction is vested in this court pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. §931. Venue is appropriate in Cumberland County as substantial contacts and transactions between Malta and Pigott and also Pigott and various customers who are then contracted with Malta, which are the subject matter of this litigation, took part in whole or in part in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 4. Defendant Malta is in the business of manufacture, sale, and distribution of commercial and residential windows and doors to include distribution within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 5. Plaintiff Pigott is an experienced sales representative in the promotion and sales of commercial and residential windows and doors. 6. On or about April 1, 2010, Pigott and Malta did enter into a written agreement in which Malta appointed Pigott as a sales representative for the sale of its product in the northeastern United States territory as more specifically set forth in said written sales agreement (the "Sales Agreement "), a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof by reference thereto. 7. The said Sales Agreement specifically provided that Malta would pay Pigott a sales commission of five (5 %) percent of net sales paid after deducting returns and allowances which would be paid on the 15 of each month for materials shipped during the preceding month. 8. Pigott did thereafter perform sales services for Malta successfully selling various products for Malta, although Malta failed to pay all commissions earned by Pigott when due as per the Sales Agreement. 9. Accordingly, by virtue of said admitted failure by Malta to timely make full commission payments to Pigott as agreed, the parties entered into a written addendum to the 2 Sales Agreement on or about July 29, 2011, identified as "Addendum ", a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and made a part hereof by reference thereto. 10. The said Addendum did modify the basis of compensation to Pigott to a consultation salary plus commission commencing August 15, 2011, as more particularly set forth in the Addendum. 11. In addition, by virtue of said admitted failure by Malta, on or shortly before execution of the Addendum, the parties did enter into a memorandum with regard to the delinquent commissions owed by Malta to Pigott of $42,000.00 (the "Memorandum "). A true and correct copy of said Memorandum, executed by the parties on or about July 26, 2011, is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "C" and made a part hereof by reference thereto. 12. In furtherance of the obligations of Malta in the said Memorandum as referenced in the previous paragraph, Malta did deliver to Pigott three (3) shares of stock in ABC Manufacturing, Inc., said shares dated July 7, 2011. A true and correct copy of said share certificate is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "D" and made a part hereof by reference thereto. 13. The Memorandum thereafter provided for delinquent commissions payments to be made by consecutive monthly payments as provided therein commencing August 15, 2011. 14. Pigott thereafter pursuant to and in consideration of the promises contained in the Sales Agreement, the Addendum, and the Memorandum did continue to perform various and valuable sales services for Malta. 15. The obligations of Malta as set forth in the Sales Agreement as modified by the Addendum and the Memorandum were breached by Malta in the following manner to wit: 3 a. No payments on the delinquent commissions were made beginning in March 2012. The balance owing at that time being four (4) monthly payments of $1,750.00 each and a final payment of $1,812.50 for a total of $8,812.50. b. The minimum salary as provided in the Addendum to the Sales Agreement was not paid after April 13, 2012 with the balance owing through August 14, 2012, being $7,692.30. C. Failure to pay sales commissions on products sold by Pigott on behalf of Malta in accord with the Sales Agreement and the Addendum as best estimated by Pigott as Malta has failed, despite repeated requests to submit any information concerning sales as required by Agreement: i. Alfonso Ciampa Window Company $62,000 @ 3% = $1,860 ii. Architectural Building Components $250,000 @ 1.5% and $150,000 @ 3% = $8,250 iii. C &R Supply Div of Truax Hovey $82,000 @ 3% = $2,460 iv.

Malta has failed or refused to redeem the three (3) shares of Malta stock at the agreed price of $7,500 share or a total of $22,500. 16. Pigott provided Malta notice of default of all of said matters hereinbefore referred by written notice of May 18, 2012, at which time Pigott summarized the amounts due as follows: a. delinquent commissions $8,812.50; b. repurchase of three (3) shares of Malta stock $22,500.00; C. balance of minimum salary from April 13, 2012 through August 12, 2013, and unpaid commissions $7,692.30. d.

The total amount of delinquent commissions, unpaid salary, stock repurchase sum and unpaid commission totals $140,791.41. 5 COUNT BREACH OF CONTRACT 17. Pigott incorporates by reference and averments contained in paragraphs 1 through 14 each as if fully set forth. 18. A contract existed between Pigott and Malta for payment of said commissions of delinquent commissions and salary as specifically to include the Sales Agreement, the Addendum thereto, and the Memorandum. 19. These agreements between the parties created legal obligation on Malta's part to pay Pigott for the services provided pursuant to their terms. 20. Pigott properly and responsibly performed his obligations under any and all of the agreements between the parties. 21. Malta, despite repeated demands of payment, has refused or failed to pay Pigott the amounts due which refusal for failure constitutes breach of agreements between the parties. 22. As a direct and proximate result of Malta's breaches of contract as set forth above, Pigott has suffered damages in the amount of $1 40,791.41. WHEREFORE, Pigott demands judgment be entered in favor and against Malta in the amount of $140,791.41 plus interest, costs, and any other remedy this Honorable Court may deem just and proper. 6 COUNT II QUANTUM MERUIT 23. Pigott incorporates by reference the averments contained in paragraphs 1 through 16 as though each were fully set forth and does alternately aver that he is entitled to damages on i a theory of quantum meruit. 24. Pigott performed all the sales work at or on Malta's behalf and in a good and professional manner. 25. Malta accepted the sales contracts that Pigott obtained on Malta's behalf and derived benefit therefore. 26. Pigott had an expectation of compensation in exchange for the services performed. 27. Pigott is entitled to the reasonable value of work performed on Malta's behalf. 28. The reasonable value of the work performed by Pigott on Malta's behalf is $140,791.41 WHEREFORE, Pigott demands judgment be entered in favor and against Malta in the amount of $140,791.41 plus interest, costs, and any other remedy this Honorable Court may deem just and proper. COUNT III UNJUST ENRICHMENT 29. Pigott incorporates by reference the averments contained in paragraphs 1 through 16 as though each were fully set forth and does alternately aver that he is entitled to damages on a theory of unjust enrichment. 7 30. Pigott expected remuneration from Malta at the time Pigott performed its work at Malta's direction and conferred various benefits on Malta. 31. Malta received various benefits in the form of the sales contracts performed by Pigott on Malta's behalf. 32. The retaining of such benefits by Malta without payment for such benefits would create an unjust result. 33. Failure of Malta to compensate Pigott for work performed enriched Malta beyond its contractual rights, to the detriment of Pigott. 34. As a direct and proximate result of the unjust enrichment of Malta, as set forth above, Pigott has suffered damages in the amount of $140,791.41. WHEREFORE, Pigott demands judgment be entered in favor and against Malta in the amount of $ 140,791.41 plus interest, costs, and any other remedy this Honorable Court may deem just and proper. COUNT IV PROMISSORY ESTOPPEL 35. Pigott incorporates by reference the averments contained in paragraphs 1 through 16 as though each were fully set forth and does alternately aver. 36. Pigott reasonably relied to his detriment on representations by Malta that all agreements would be performed pursuant to the representations and promises therein specifically contained, and that he would be fully compensated for his services to Malta. 8 37. Pigott reasonably relied to his detriment on Malta's representations outside the contract that Pigott would be paid for his performance for consulting services and sales commissions, delinquent and current. 38. By reason of Malta's failure to perform in accordance with its representations to Pigott and failure to compensate Pigott for his services, Piggot has suffered damages in the amount of $140,791.41. WHEREFORE, Pigott demands judgment be entered in favor and against Malta in the amount of $140,791.41 plus interest, costs, and any other remedy this Honorable Court may deem just and proper.
