Dear Mr. Scott,
This letter will serve to confirm our phone conversation of February ] 7,2004. At
that time I advised you that you must immediately cease and desist from using a kerosene

enter BWP's place of business. I also advised you that any heating system that you may
elect to use must conform to all fire codes and the rules and regulations of all local,
county and state entities.
] also advised you that you have failed and refused to follow our agreement
regarding the payment ofrent. Furthermore, at no time have you contacted anyone at the
Company to .ldvise us of your alleged financial hardship and request that the terms of our
agreement be modified. I therefore advised you that I want you to vacate the premises by
March 2, 2004. At that time we will be placing a lock on the door.
During our phone conversation you asked if it would be all right if your attorney
contacted me. Please cia not hesitate to have him give me a cal!. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Mr. Helman,
Following our conversation of 17 February 2004, I have consulted with my
attorney regarding my rights as the lessee of the property at 810 N. Hanover and learned these
facts that I am sure you are aware of:
By PA Law
1. I do have the right to a timely notice of eviction and subsequent hearing. After a
notice by a district justice in which I will have 30 days to comply with said
Justices' order.
2. .I can not be locked out of my place of business, (such as Feb. 2002) unless I have
specifically violated a legal court order. If I am locked out while not in violation, it
is within my rights to use a means of re-entry necessary to gain access with no
repercussions to assigns or myself.
3. I do have the right to claim damages to my equipment and loss of income due to
your negligence of the water problems I had expressed to the management and also
the general lack of maintenance to the property.
The are two ways that we can handle this situation.
1. Your firm can go ahead with the legal procedure of eviction
2. ] will vacate my belongings from the premises by 30 April 2004 willfully and
without recourse.
This is my offer. Please respond to my attorney;
Karl Rominger, Esq.
155 S Hanover 8t.
Car1isle, P A 17013
I will be forwarding a copy to him as well as Mr. George Lyter, the owner of the equipment.

Upon conferring with my attorney, I will agree to this document except
for the following conditions.
1. The machinery does not belong to myself, it belongs to George
Lyter. Therefore it will not be leaving with me. Separate
arrangements will have to be made with him.
2. I have not, nor plan to damage the premises with the exception of
normal wear. I can not be held liable for the damages that were
here before BWP/ Car Quest or I even leased the building. No one
from BWP has ever walked through to assess these conditions. I
have been on these premises since June 1988. The business
upstairs then was Lyter's Big A.
3. The are "rooms" that were built when the business was established,
that I will not be responsible for removing.
I will remove all of my materials and belongings, sweep the
building and return all keys. I will also agree to release any
claims.
Based on the facts set forth, this is the arrangement that I will
agree to.

Defendant.
DEFENDANT'S ANSWER WITH NEW MATTER TO PLAINTiFF'S COMPLAINT
NOW COMES Defendant Rick Scott dlblal Rick's Automotive Machine Shop
(hereinafter "Defendant"), by and through his attorney, Shane B. Kope, Esq., and
hereby responds to the Complaint of Plaintiff BWPICare Quest Distributors, tla Carquest
(hereinafter "Plaintiff') in accordance with the numbered paragraphs therein as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Denied as stated. To the contrary, it was February 27, 2002 that Plaintiff wrote
Defendant a letter confirming a rental agreement between the parties. The date of
February 27, 2001, as set forth in Paragraph six (6) of the Complaint and relied upon by
Plaintiffs counsel, is based upon a misprint by Plaintiff in its Exhibit A. Despite other
evidence in Defendant's possession, the date as a misprint becomes apparent in the
body of the Exhibit where the enumerated dates are 2002 rather than 2001; it is unlikely
that Plaintiff would expect Defendant to begin repaying his considerable delinquent debt
one (1) year from the date of the aforementioned rental agreement. .
7. Denied. To the contrary, Defendant, in a good faith attempt at honoring the
February, 2002 rental agreement (see Plaintiffs Complaint, Exhibit A), made the
following payments:
a) February 20, 2002:
$2000.00 - personal check # 998
(acknowledged by Plaintiff; see Plaintiffs
Complaint, Exhibit A).
$1500.00 - personal check # 1013
$ 460.00 -- personal check # 1026
b) March 11, 2002:
c) March 29, 2002:
d) April 11 , 2002:
e) April 12, 2002:
f) May 7,2002:
g) June 8, 2002:
h) July 19, 2002:
$ 460.00 -- personal check # 1046 .
$1500.00 - personal check # 1047
$ 460.00 -- personal check # 1075
$ 460.00 -- personal check # 1103
i) August 16, 2002:
$ 460.00 - personal check # 1142
$ 460.00 -- personal check # 1164
$ 485.00 -- personal check # 1261
j) November 26, 2002:
2
k) December 4,2002: $ 460.00 -- personal check # 1265
I) January 30,2003: $ 460.00 -- personal check # 1312
8. Admitted in part and denied in part. Defendant admits that he spoke with the
Plaintiff on February 14, 2004 regarding, among other things, Defendant's failure to
follow the rental agreement as set forth in Exhibit A of Plaintiff's Complaint and Plaintiff's
advisement to Defendant to leave the premises at issue by March 2, 2004, as well as
receiving correspondence to that effect; however, Defendant denies that Plaintiff
advised him, via telephone or correspondence, that he had not paid any rent since
February 27,2001, as Defendant's last rent payment was on January 30, 2003.
9. Admitted.
10. Admitted.
11. Denied as stated. To the contrary, Defendant signed the February 28, 2004
agreement with an attached addendum, thereby accepting terms of the Febr-uary 28,
2004 agreement in so far as those terms did not conflict or disagree with the terms set
forth in that attached addendum; when such a conflict did arise, Defendant agreed to
follow that addendum. (See Plaintiff's Exhibit E).
12. Denied. Respondent is without knowledge or information sufficient to form a
belief as to the truth of such averments. The averments are therefore denied and proof
thereof demanded, if relevant.
13. Admitted.
14. Denied. To the contrary, Defendant is indebted to the Plaihtiffforreht dUe on the
premises at issue in the amount of $8,735.00.
3
15. Denied. Defendant removed all trash and swept the premises as agreed in the
addendum to the February 28, 2004 agreement. (See Plaintiff's Exhibit E). Therefore,
no action on the part of the Defendant necessitated Plaintiff expending any money to
Onyx Environmental Services.
16. Denied. Defendant removed all objects, heavy iron or otherwise, and trash that
belong to, or was the result of, his automotive machine and balancing shop in
accordance with the addendum to the February 28, 2004 agreement. (See Plaintiff's
Exhibit E). Therefore, no action on the part of the Defendant necessitated Plaintiff
expending any money to Payless.
17. Denied. Defendant is indebted to Plaintiff in the amount of $8;735:00 only.
WHEREFORE, Answering Defendant, Rick Scott, respectfully prays that
Plaintiff's Complaint against him be dismissed with prejudice and that judgment be
entered in his favor together with allowable costs of this action.
NEW MATTER
18. The Plaintiff's Complaint fails to state a claim against the Defendant upon which
relief can be granted.
19. Investigation may reveal the allegations presented in the Plaintiff's Complaint are
barred by the applicable statute of limitations,
20. The Plaintiff's Complaint fails to mitigate the damages alleged therein.
4
WHEREFORE, Answering Defendant, Rick Scott, respectfully prays that
Plaintiffs Complaint against him be dismissed with prejudice and that judgment be
entered in his favor together with allowable costs of this action.
