Charles and Donna Grove are the parents and natural guardians of Mandy Grove, a minor, age 17 (DOB: 12/20/84) (SSN: 197-66-2130) who sustained injuries on or about February 16, 2001, as a result of being a passenger in a motor vehicle that was involved in an accident at or near the intersection of Airport and Gilbert Roads, Southampton Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 2. The minor resides with her parents and natural guardians, Chades and Donna Grove at 100 Enola Road, P.O. Box 144, Newburg, Pennsylvania 17240. 3. According to the Police Report completed by Trooper John Lutz of the Pennsylvania State Police Department, the minor was injured while riding as a passenger in a vehicle heading south on Airport Road that struck the driver's side of a vehicle being operated by Austin Myers traveling east on Gilbert Road. The vehicle being operated by Karen Lauver did not stop for a posted stop sign and as such proceeding into the intersection causing the accident. A true and correct copy of the Police Report is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "A". 4. As a result of the above-mentioned accident, minor suffered injuries consisting of a concussion and fracturesof the pelvis, clavicle and first metatarsal bone. A copy of the York Hospital records pertaining to the evaluation, admission and discharge of the minor are attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "B". 5. No out-of-pocket expenses have been incurred by the minor or Petitioners with respect to the injuries sustained by Minor. There are presently no outstanding liens or claims on behalf of any medical supplier, Medicare or Department of Public Welfare, ERISA plan or other entity. 6. No attorney fees are being charged to Petitioner nor are the settlement proceeds as being offered to the minor subject to a reduction for payment of attorney fees. 7. Karen Lauver, who according to the Police reports is the party responsible for the accident, is covered as a resident relative insured under a policy of insurance issued by State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company to Rose Lauver. Under the policy as issued by State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, the total coverage available for the payment to third parties for personal injury liability is $30,000. A true and correct copy of State Farm's Certificate of Coverage is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "C". 8. In addition to the injuries sustained by the minor as set forth in this Petition, one (1) other individual who was a passenger occupant of the vehicle in which the minor was a passenger was also injured. Specifically, this individual is Casey Hippensteel (who sustained a concussion and facial lacerations). Additionally, the driver of the other vehicle, namely Austin Myers sustained a fractured sternum and fractured scapula. 9. Each of these other individuals has agreed to accept $10,000 in full and final settlement of their respective claims. Therefore, the providing of settlement proceeds in the amount of $10,000 each to the minor, Casey Hippensteel and Austin Myers has resulted in a complete exhaustion of the policy limits available under the policy of insurance issued by State Farm to Rose Lauver. 10. After discussions between the minor's parents, Charles and Donna Grove and State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, the insurance provider for Karen Lauver, a settlement has been reached for $10,000.00. Chades and Donna Grove as parents of minor, fully understand that the settlement of this claim releases and forever discharges Karen Lauver and State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, their heirs, executors, administrators, agents, assigns and all other persons, firms or corporations were liable or who may be claimed to be liable as a result of the accident of February 16, 2001. 11. Minor's parents, Charles and Donna Grove, agree to put the entire amount of the settlement proceeds into an interest bearing account with a federally insured financial institution until the minor turns 18 years of age. 12. Petitioners believe and therefore aver that considering the liability issues in this case and the fact that the minor's injuries were relatively minor and have since been resolved, the aforementioned settlement and resolution of this claim is in the best interest and welfare of the minor. 13. In order to reduce the mutual exchange promises referred to in Paragraphs 10 and 11 hereof to writing, Petitioners request authority to execute a release in the form identical to that attached hereto as Exhibit "D". WHEREFORE, Petitioners, Chades and Donna Grove, individually and on behalf of their minor daughter, Mandy Grove, request this Honorable Court to approve the Minor's Settlement. Chades Grove, as parent and natural guardian of Mandy Grove, a minor Respectfully submitted: Dgml~'G('~e, a~ par'~ent ~(] ~atural guardian of Mandy Grove, a minor VERIFICATION We, Chades a_nd Donna Grove, Petitioners in this action hereby verify that the statements made in the foregoing Petition to Settle or Compromise Minor's action are true and correct to the best of our information, knowledge and belief. We understand that the statements in said Petition are made subject to the penalties of 18 Pa.C.S. § 4904, relating to unsworn falsification to authorities.

Concussion. 2. Severely comminuted fracture of the pelvis involving the left acetabulum. 3. Fracture of the left clavicle. 4. Fracture of the left first metatarsal bone. History of Present Illness: This 16-year-old girl was allegedly a restrained front seat passenger in a motor vehicle which crashed. She was seen initially at Chambersburg Hospital where her cervical spine was evaluated and cleared, and then transferred to York Hospital for continuing management of her multiple injuries. She appeared to be amnestic for the event and was considered to have a concussion. Radiographic evaluation showed the injuries enumerated above. She was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit and placed in traction. Consulting orthopedists quickly concluded that the pelvis needed operative management and that she was not a candidate to have that done at York. Arrangements were made to send her to Spence Reid, M.D. at Hershey Medical Center for definitive management of this injury, and she was transferred on the day after admission to York Hospital. Her continuing management including medications, diet, activity and follow-up will be with the doctors at Hershey. Jonathan E.

FACT V MUT GENO (06/14/99 ........... ., ............. Interpretation: The Factor V Leiden allele (R506Q mutation) is represented by a single nucleotide change in the normal DNA sequence of either one or both copies (alleles} of the factor V gene. This mutation renders the factor V protein resistant to cleavage by activated protein C. Heterozygotes for the Factor V Leiden allele are at 7 fold increased relative risk for thrombosis, homozygotes are at 90-100 fold increased relative risk. The test employs enzymatic digestion of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified DNA to detect the RS06Q mutation and is highly accurate. Rare diagnostic errors may occur due to the presence of DNA po lymorphi sins. This test result or one or more of its components was developed and its performance characteristics determined by the Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory at York Hospital. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA has determined that such clearance or approval is not necessary.
