RE.: Outstanding Warranty/Other issues
As you know I have kept a very detailed log of all warranty service calls aV
telephone conversations that CDI has had to perform on your equipment. Attached. is
a list which is very detailed and quite lengthy outlining these warranty claims unpaid
as to date.
There had been many conversations with Russ Bath and yourself on all of these jobs.
The answers I have always received are go ahead and fix it and ECR will turn out a
warranty, this has never happened. In the time, we have dealt with ECR every time
CDI tries to claim a warranty issue, we find out that the warranty procedures have
changed. verbally nothing in writing or that someone new is handling that department
and the procedure has again been changed. I have enclosed a list of all service calls
that CDI has performed over the last 3 years and I am expecting a follow up call
with you and the new person handling warranty issues that you mentioned the other
day when we talked. Our company expects to have a timely answer to what ECR. is
going to do about these claims of over 550,000.00. This goes far beyond the
warranty claims as you can see we had customers that had more than three problems
at there location because of faulty equipment. Since we are a small business we can
not keep absorbing emotion of our customers concerns and cost of you're company
doing business. We have also taken in many other expenses that were not
appreciated and or reimbursed in marketing and training. We even aided and never
was paid for our first job performed cleaning up mess that was created we had a
huge lost with all copper that was used. Along with that the deformation of
character that was stowed upon our company by your company to our dealers and
customers that we set up and brought to you, this was and still will not be tolerated
by any of your staff.
I am requesting an answer back on this issue in writing on or before the 9`1` of
September 2005 or I will be forced to take legal action against ECR.

Doar Emily:
Thank you far your candle c:m crsation yesterday. Though ECR values your hard work
and the resulting sales generated by your et}orts throughout the years, we cutnot argue
with the conclusion of our recent discussion.
This transmittal serves !a confirm our mutual agreement, reached during our telephone
communication of May 7, 2005, to cancel the exclusive sales representative agreement
between ECR and Creativv- Distribution.
As agreed, ECR will provide equipment to Creative Distribution ai the current pricing
multiplier for the nine EarthLittked? systems that are already under contract between
Creative Distribution and its customers- At this time, we request that the terms of
purchase be by payment of cash in advance or under the guarantee of an irrevocable letter
of credit.
I wish you well in your future business endeavors.

DEFENDANTS' PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS
AND NOW come Defendants, by and through their counsel, Stevens & Lee, and
make the following Preliminary Objections to Plaintiff's Complaint, stating in support thereof as
follows:
Preliminary Obiection pursuant to Pa. R. Civ. P. 1028(a)(4) -
Failure to State a Claim nainst either Defendant
1. Plaintiff's Complaint purportedly seeks recovery of money incurred in
performance of certain service obligations relating to a former business relationship between
Plaintiff and Defendants.
2. Paragraph 7 of the Complaint represents that payments were required by
Defendants pursuant to the Sales Representative Agreement between the parties (which is
attached to Plaintiff's Complaint as Exhibit `B").
3. However, a review of the agreement made Exhibit "B" reveals that there is no
provision in the parties' Agreement for reimbursement of service calls or warranty work.
sLI 628900w000000.00000
4. As a result, Plaintiff s Complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be
granted against either Defendant because it seeks to enforce a non-existent term of the
Agreement.
WHEREFORE, Defendants request that Plaintiff s Complaint be dismissed with
prejudice.
Preliminary Obiection Pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1028(a)(4) -
Failure to State a Claim against Hal Roberts, individually
5. Plaintiff has included as a Defendant the Chief Executive Officer of Defendant
ECR Technologies, Inc., one Hal Roberts.
6. However, the onl mention of Mr. Roberts which appears anywhere in the
Complaint or any of its attachments is in Paragraph 3, where Mr. Roberts is identified as ECR's
Chief Executive Officer.
7. Mr. Roberts is not a signatory or a party to the Sales Representative Agreement
made Exhibit "B" to Plaintiffs Complaint.
8. Indeed, the sales representative agreement is unexecuted by anyone at ECR
Technologies, Inc. but was clearly designed for execution by the corporation through a corporate
officer.
9. Neither Plaintiff s Complaint not any of its attachments detail any dealings by and
between Plaintiff and Mr. Roberts.
10. As a result, Plaintiffs Complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be
granted against Mr. Roberts.
S L 1628900 v l /000000.00000
WHEREFORE, Defendants request that Plaintiff's Complaint be dismissed with
prejudice.
Preliminary Objection Pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1028(a)(1) -
Lack of Personal Jurisdiction over Hal Roberts, individually
11. Plaintiff s Complaint files to plead any facts which establish any basis for
personal jurisdiction over Mr. Roberts.
12. In fact, there is no basis for jurisdiction over Mr. Roberts by this court as a matter
of fundamental Constitutional law.
WHEREFORE, Defendants request that Plaintiff's Complaint be dismissed with
prejudice.

3. Denied. The averments of paragraph 3 constitute legal conclusions requiring
no responsive pleading. It is admitted only that the parties' business relationship began in or
about January 2000, and that the relationship was not initially reduced to writing.
4. Admitted.'
Neither the filed copy nor the service copy of the Amended Complaint included exhibits, however
Plaintiffs counsel has advised that the exhibits are identical, and identically ordered, as with the original
Complaint.
08/01 /06/SL 1642686v t/000000.00000
5. Denied. The averments of paragraph 5 constitute legal conclusions requiring
no responsive pleading. It is admitted only that the document referenced as Exhibit "B" was
forwarded by Plaintiff to Defendant on or about October 5, 2002.
6. Admitted in part and denied in part as stated. It is admitted that Plaintiff faxed
to the Defendant a letter on or about September 1, 2005 in which certain allegations were made.
The content of that correspondence speaks for itself. Any allegations that are set forth in that
correspondence regarding payment for repair and warranty service work are expressly denied, as
are any allegations in paragraph 6 of the Complaint regarding "many unsuccessful attempts to
receive payment". To the contrary, the Plaintiff first forwarded a fax on August 5, 2005
regarding "warranty work" of which Defendant was unaware, totaling some $16,330.00, but
lacking any explanation or documentation. This list was later dramatically expanded by an
additional fax of September 2, 2005, this list totaling some $50,010.00 in supposedly unpaid
warranty work.
7. Admitted.
8. Admitted. By way of further answer, the interaction by and between Plaintiff
and Defendant from September 1, 2005 through and including December 15, 2005 demonstrated
that Plaintiff refused to adhere to Defendant's rules, policies, procedures and protocols (the
"Policies") relating to reimbursement for service and/or warranty work. Furthermore, the
manner in which Plaintiff conducted itself during these discussions convinced Defendant that
Plaintiff was not a suitable representative on a going-forward basis.

9. Defendant incorporates the responsive averments of paragraphs 1 through 8 as
though set forth in full herein.
10. Denied. To the contrary, Defendant has very specific Policies regarding prior
authorization for service and/or warranty work; the authorized exchange of parts through use of
an authorized "return goods authorization" return number, and various other means to control
warranty and service work expense and to verify that all requests for reimbursement are
appropriate and have been properly documented. Despite Defendant's furnishing of, and
repeated explanations of these Policies to Plaintiff, Plaintiff refused to adhere to the same.
Nevertheless, Plaintiff demanded reimbursement for warranty and service work which had not
been duly authorized in accordance with Defendant's Policies. For all these reasons, Defendant
owes Plaintiff nothing.
11. Defendant incorporates by reference the responsive averments set forth in
paragraph 10 as though set forth in full herein.
12. Denied. The averments of paragraph 12 constitute legal conclusions requiring
no responsive pleading. As indicated, Defendant owes Plaintiff nothing.

17. Defendant has very specific Policies regarding prior authorization for service
and/or warranty work, the authorized exchange of parts through use of a "return goods
authorization" return number, and various other means to control warranty and service work
expense and to verify that all requests for reimbursement are appropriate and have been properly
documented.
18. Defendant repeatedly furnished and explained these Policies to Plaintiff.

20. Plaintiff demanded reimbursement for warranty and service work which had
not been duly authorized in accordance with Defendant's Policies, and for which return goods
authorizations had never been issued.

RE: ECR Technologies, Inc.
Our File No. 3911.2
Dear Mr. Bradshaw:
Several weeks ago we discussed a schedule for discovery in the above-referenced matter.
I stated that the Plaintiff wanted to proceed to schedule depositions as the first step in discovery and
we agreed that you would contact your client and advise me concerning the availability of Hal
Roberts, Robert Parsons, and Russell Bath for their depositions.
Since I had not received any followup from you, I called last Thursday and left you a
voicemail. As of this letter, I do not have a response to my voicemail message. Please contact me
no later than August 23, 2006 to schedule those depositions. If I have not heard from you by that
date, I will file a discovery motion a motion to compel discovery.
Sincerely,
KNIGHT & ASSOCIATES, P.C.
