or any other property of the Obligors, in connection with all of the Obligations, at any time or times

Agreement, or under any other agreement or document evidencing or securing any other

To: Landis, Inc., Steven J. Capuano and Kimberly 1. Capuano
Pursuant to 42 Pa. C.S. S 2737.1. please take notice that the Plaintiff in this matter has
entered a judgment by confession against you in the amount of$898,913.36.
You are entitled to file a petition to "strike" or "open" the judgment. In order to do so,
you must promptly file a petition with the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, as required by Rule 2959 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure. You will
file a petition by leaving it with the courts or Prothonotary at the courthouse in Carlisle,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
A petition is a formal statement of your reasons for challenging the judgment. You must
include the names of the parties at the top of the first page and the case number, which is shown
above. The petition must state your reasons for challenging the judgment is a separate numbered
paragraphs. You have to sign the petition and include a sworn statement at the end of the
document verifying that the facts you state in the petition are true and accurate. You will waive
any defenses and objections not included in your petition to strike or open. You must therefore
make every effort to raise all possible issues and defenses in your petition to strike or open in
order to avoid waiving any claims.
If you elect to file a petition, it must meet the requirements of Rule 2959 of the Rules of
Civil Procedure. A full copy of Rule 2959 is attached to this Notice. You may also have to
comply with local rules of procedure in effect in the county where the judgment was entered.
If you do not file a petition challenging the judgment, the Plaintiff may take steps to
collect on the judgment by asking the Sheriff to seize your assets. You may have other rights
available to you other than as set forth in this notice. You should take this paper to your
lawyer at once. If you do not have a lawyer, go to or telephone the office set forth below.
This office can provide you with information about hiring a lawyer.

information about agencies that may offer legal services to eligible persons at a reduced fee

Corporations may be unable to represent themselves in court. If the defendants include a
corporation, the corporation must appear through an attorney if it intends to challenge the
judgment.
You may receive other papers and notices regarding the judgment. Those other papers do
not negate or override this Notice. Likewise, this Notice is not intended to and does not negate
any of the notices or information obtained in other papers that may be served upon you.
We reiterate that you are required to act promptly if you wish to seek relief from the
judgment. Under certain circumstances, you have only 30 days in which to file a petition after
papers are served on you. Even if the 30 day rule does not apply, you must act promptly in order
to protect your interests. Failing to act in a timely marmer will render you unable to challenge
the judgment at a later time.
Pursuant to 40 Pa. C.S.A. Section 2737.1, if you have been incorrectly identified and had
a confession or judgment entered against you, you are entitled to costs and reasonable attorney
fees as determined by the court.

Attorney for Plaintiff
PennsvIvania Rule of Civil Procedure 2959 - Strikinl! off Judl!ment
(a)(l) Relief from a judgment by confession shall be sought by petition. Except as
provided in subparagraph (2), all grounds for relief whether to strike off the judgment or to open
it must be asserted in a single petition. The petition may be filed in the county in which the
judgment was originally entered, in any county to which the judgment has been transferred or in
any other county in which the sheriff has received a writ of execution directed to the sheriff to
enforce the judgment.
(2) The ground that the waiver of the due process rights of notice and hearing was not
voluntary, intelligent and knowing shall be raised only
(i) in support of a further request for a stay of execution where the court has not
stayed execution despite the timely filing of a petition for relief from the judgment and
the presentation of prima facie evidence of a defense; and
(ii) as provided by Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 2958.3 or Rule 2973.3.
(3) If written notice is served upon the petitioner pursuant to Rule 2956.1(c)(2) or Rule
2973.1 ( c), the petition shall be filed within thirty days after such service. Unless the defendant
can demonstrate that there were compelling reasons for the delay, a petition not timely filed shall
be denied.
(b) If the petition states prima facie grounds for relief the court shall issue a rule to show
cause and may grant a stay of proceedings. After being served with a copy of the petition the
plaintiff shall file an answer on or before the return day of the rule. The retum day of the rule
shall be fixed by the court by local rule or special order.
(c) A party waives all defenses and objections which are not included in the petition
or answer.
(d) The petition and the rule to show cause and the answer shall be served as
provided in Rule 440.
(e) The court shall dispose of the rule on petition and answer, and on any testimony,
depositions, admissions and other evidence. The court for cause shown may stay proceedings on
the petition insofar as it seeks to open the judgment pending disposition of the application to
strike off the judgment. If evidence is produced which in a jury trial would require the issues to
be submitted to the jury the court shall open the judgment.
(f) The lien of the judgment or of any levy or attachment shall be preserved while the
proceedings to strike off or open the judgment are pending.
