NOTE

1. BORROWER'S PROMISE TO PAY
In return for a loan that I have received, and intending to be legally bound, the
utidersigned Borrower promises to pay to the order of the Lender in lawful money of the United
States $49,000.00 (hereinafter called "principal "), plus interest as stated herein, to the order of
the Lender. The Lenders are RONALD L. TANGER and MARIE M. TANGER, husband
and wife. I understand that "the Lenders may transfer this Note. The Lenders or anyone who
takes this Note by transfer..-and who is entitled to receive payments under this Note are
collectively called the "Note Holder."
2. INTEREST
The unpaid Principal Sum shall accrue interest at a per annum rate of 4.000 %.
The interest rate required by this Section 2 is the rate I will pay both before and after any
default described in Section 6(B) of this Note.
3. PAYMENTS
(A) Time and Place of Payment
Commencing on or before November 1, 2011, I will make my payment at 102 East
Springville Road, Boiling Springs, PA 17007, or at a different place if required by the Note
Holder.
(B) Amount of Payment
My payments will be in the amount of Nine Hundred Ninety -Three and 03/100 Dollars
($993.03) due on or before the first day of each month. Payments made with respect to this Note
shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest, next to principal, next to late charges, and

The Maturity Date is April 1, 2016. The final installment due on the Maturity Date shall
be in an amount equal to the outstanding Principal together with all other amounts outstanding

EXPECTED IF A PAYMENT IS RECEIVED AFTER THE DUE DATE.
4. BORROWER'S RIGHT TO PREPAY
I have the right to make payments of principal at any time before they are due. A
payment of principal only is known as a "prepayment." When I make a prepayment, I will
advise the Note Holder in writing that I are doing so.
I may make a full prepayment or partial prepayments without paying any prepayment
charge. The Note Holder will use all of my prepayments to reduce the amount of principal that I
owe under this Note. If I make a partial prepayment, there will be no changes in the due date or
in the amount of my payment unless the Note Holder agrees in writing to those changes.

5. LOAN CHARGES
If a law, which applies to this loan and which sets maximum loan charges, is finally
interpreted so that the interest or other loan charges collected or to be collected in connection
with this loan exceed the permitted limits, then: (i) any such loan charge shall be reduced by the
amount necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit; and (ii) any sums already collected
from me which exceed permitted limits will be refunded to me. The Note Holder may choose to
make this refund by reducing the principal I owe under this Note or by making a direct payment
to me. If a refund reduced principal, the reduction will be treated as a partial prepayment.
6. BORROWER'S FAILURE TO PAY AS REQUIRED
(A) Late Charge for Overdue Payments

or conditions contained herein, shall not in any way be considered a waiver of the right to
enforce the same at any time, without any notice whatsoever, and any attempt to collect the rent

deliver such further instruments subordinating this Lease Agreement to the lien of any such
mortgage as may be desired by the Mortgagee and Lessor.
21. Severability The invalidity or illegality of any provision of this Lease Agreement

PETITION TO STRIKE, OR,IN THE ALTERNATIVE, TO OPEN JUDGMENT AND
REQUEST FOR STAY OF PROCEEDINGS
AND NOW, comes the Petitioner/Defendant, Williams, LLC t/d/b/a Tanger's Appliances
(the "LLC") by and through their counsel, Cunningham& Chernicoff, P.C., and submit this
Petition to Strike, or, in the Alternative,to Open Judgment and Request for Stay of Proceedings,
as follows:
I. BACKGROUND
1. Respondents are Ronald L. Tanger and Marie M. Tanger(collectively the
"Respondents"), adult individuals principally residing at 102 East Springville Road, Boiling
Springs, Pennsylvania 17007 in Cumberland County. Respondents are the Plaintiffs in the
above-captioned matter.
2. Defendant/Petitioner is a Pennsylvania limited liability company with a registered
address of 19 Meade Drive, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013 in Cumberland County. There is only
one entity. Petitioner is the Defendant in the above captioned matter.
3. Petitioners seek to evoke the equitable and discretionary powers of this Honorable
1
Court to strike, or, in the alternative, to open that certain Judgment entered in this Court on or
about December 5, 2013 at docket number 2013-7215 (the "Judgment").
4. On December 5, 2013, Respondent filed a Complaint in Confession of Judgment
Under Pa.R.C.P. 2951 (the "Complaint") for the sum of$50,576.88.
5. The basis for the Complaint is the purported breach by Petitioner of a Promissory
Note dated October 21, 2011 (the "2011 Note") between Petitioner in favor of Respondent, in the
amount of$49,000.00, under and pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement between LLC and
respondents (the "Agreement"). The Note contains a clause which purports to authorize
Respondent to confess judgment against the signing party in the event of a breach thereof.
6. Respondents allege that the Note was signed by both Randy M. Williams
("Williams") in an individual capacity and as a member of the LLC. Respondents further allege
that, in conjunction with the Note, on October 21, 2011, Petitioner signed a Disclosure
Statement memorializing Petitioner's alleged understanding of the provisions of the Note
including the right of Respondents to confess judgment.
7. Respondents additionally allege that Petitioner is in breach of a Commercial Lease
Agreement(the "Lease") which allegedly obligates Petitioners to pay real estate taxes and
insurance coverage costs to Respondents. The Lease contains a clause which purports to
authorize Respondent to confess judgment for possession against the signing party in the event of
a breach thereof but not for confession of judgment for money damages.
8. In the Complaint, Respondents seek to impose a cost of$4,921.00 against
Petitioner for"unpaid, unsold and lost inventory" (the "Inventory Charges"). See Respondent's
Complaint, ¶22c.
2
9. In the Complaint, Respondents seek to impose on Petitioner a cost of$6,709.00
and $5,765.13, for 2012 and 2013 real estate taxes and insurance premiums, respectively(the
"Lease Charges"). See Respondent's Complaint,¶22g-h.
10. Williams, Petitioner's member, does not recall signing the Disclosure Statement
or the Note. Further, Williams does not recall the provisions concerning the confession of
judgment being explained to him.
II. PETITION TO STRIKE JUDGMENT.
11. Petitioner herein incorporates the foregoing paragraphs as if more fully set forth
herein.
12. A petition to strike judgment operates as a demurrer on the record, and may be
granted"for a fatal defect or irregularity appearing on the face of the record." Resolution Trust
Corp. v. Copley Qu-Wayne Assocs., 546 Pa. 98, 106, 683 A.2d 269, 273 (1996).
13. In reviewing a petition to strike judgment, courts may consider all of the
documents filed by the judgment creditor, including the complaint. M.
A. Petitioner did not owe any payment for inventory under the Note
14. Petitioner herein incorporates the foregoing paragraphs as if more fully set forth
herein.
15. The Agreement sets forth two (2)components of the consideration to be allegedly
paid thereunder. The first component is for equipment and machinery. Such sum is
memorialized by the Note (the "Sale Consideration"). The second component of the
consideration is an additional sum for the sale of the inventory, which includes the Inventory
Charges. This sum is not memorialized by the Note.
3
16. Respondent's Complaint alleges that Petitioner is in default in the amount of
$4,921.00 for unpaid, sold, destroyed, and lost inventory. However, the only instrument upon
which Petitioners have issued a purported confession of judgment guaranteeing payment,the
Note, does not contain a warrant for payment of Inventory Charges and unpaid, sold, destroyed,
and lost inventory. The Note memorializes only the amount owed for the Sale Consideration.
17. Therefore, Respondents have pleaded insufficient facts to warrant entry of
judgment in the amount$4,921.00 for the Inventory Charges. The confession of judgment is
only warranted for sums owed under the Note.
B. Petitioner does not owe payment for real estate taxes and insurance premiums
under the Note
18. Petitioner herein incorporates the foregoing paragraphs as if more fully set forth
herein.
19. Respondent's Complaint alleges that Petitioner is in default in the amount of
$12,474.13 for the Lease Charges for 2012 and 2013 real estate taxes and insurance premiums
under the Lease. However,the only instrument upon which Petitioners have issued a purported
confession of judgment guaranteeing payment,the Note, does not contain a warrant for payment
of real estate taxes or insurance premiums or for any other sums owed under the Lease.
20. Although Petitioner did sign a Confession of Judgment for Possession in
conjunction with the Lease, such warrant is only for the entry of an action in ejectment against
the LLC upon default, which is not the type of action Respondent initiated herein.
21. Therefore, Respondents have pleaded insufficient facts to warrant entry of
judgment for the Lease Charges.
4
C. Petitioner did not knowingly grant the right for Respondent to confess judgment
against it
22. Petitioner herein incorporates the foregoing paragraphs as if more fully set forth
herein.
23. The LLC and Williams do not recall the Disclosure of Rights. The provisions as
to the confession of judgment were not adequately explained (if explained at all), and thus,no
waiver as to the right to be sued by Respondents and be afforded an opportunity to answer a
Complaint before judgment is entered exists.
III. PETITION TO OPEN JUDGMENT
24. Petitioner herein incorporates the foregoing paragraphs as if more fully set forth
herein.
25. A Petition to Open a Judgment is addressed to the equitable powers of the Court
and is a matter of judicial discretion. The Court will exercise this discretion when the Petition
has been promptly filed and a meritorious defense can be shown. See generally Schultz v. Erie
Ins. Exchange, 505 Pa. 90, 93, 477 A.2d 471, 472 (1984) citing Balk v. Ford Motor Co., 446 Pa.
137, 140, 285 A.2d 182 (1971).
26. In the current matter, the Instant Petition to Open was filed with this Court
promptly after receiving notice of entry of Judgment.
27. A meritorious defense to the Complaint can be shown, as more fully set forth in
this Petition.
28. Further, Williams does not recall signing the Disclosure Statement in conjunction
with the Note, which he is alleged to have signed on October 21, 2011, as per Paragraph 11 of
5
Respondent's Complaint.
29. In the event the judgment is not stricken, this Court should exercise its equitable
discretion to open the Judgment so as to allow Petitioner's meritorious defenses to be heard.
IV. REQUEST FOR STAY OF PROCEEDINGS
30. Petitioner hereby incorporates all of the above paragraphs as if more fully set forth
at length below.
31. Respondent has obtained the Judgment by confession.
32. The Judgment, for reasons stated above, should be opened to allow the Court to
determine the meritorious defenses of the Petitioner.
33. Failure to stay all matters, including without limitation, any levy or attachment,
would cause the Petitioner to incur unnecessary expense and unnecessary harm.
34. The harm that Petitioner would sustain far outweighs any potential injury that
would be incurred by the Respondent as a result of this stay of all proceedings until the this
Petition is heard.
WHEREFORE, Petitioners, Williams, LLC and Williams, LLC t/d/b/a Tanger's
Appliances, hereby respectfully request this Honorable Court strike the judgment docketed as set
forth above for lack of jurisdiction, or, in the alternative, open the judgment docketed as set forth
above so as to permit Petitioner's meritorious defenses to be heard, and that this Honorable Court
6
stay all proceedings in the interim. Furthermore, Petitioner respectfully requests this Honorable
Court grant him such further relief as is just and proper.
