Defendant
CIVIL ACTION - EQUITY
COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, Regency Realty Group, Inc., Va Silver Spring Square
II, LP ("SSS"), by and through its attorneys, Wix, Wenger & Weidner, and files this
Complaint, alleging the following in support:
1. SSS is a Delaware limited partnership, qualified and authorized to do business in
Pennsylvania, whose business address is 150 Monument Road, Suite 406, Bala
Cynwyd, Pennsylvania 19004. SSS's general partner is Regency Realty Group,
Inc.,
2. Defendant is Metro Cremo & Sons, Inc., Va Cremo's Variety Outlet, a Pennsylvania
corporation that maintains its primary place of business at 6430 Carlisle Pike,
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055 (herein, the "Property").
3. Jurisdiction is proper in this Court because the property at issue in this case is
located in Cumberland County.
4. Through January 17, 2006, Defendant occupied the Property pursuant to an oral
lease (the "Lease") it had with Donald L. Carter and Marion Carter (the "Carters"),
who were the owners of the Property.
5. The term of the Lease was month-to-month, and it was terminable upon one
month's notice.
6. The Lease contained no renewal or extension options.
7. On January 17, 2006, SSS purchased the Property from the Carters. A true and
correct copy of the Deed into SSS is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is
incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth.
8. In connection with SSS's purchase of the Property, SSS took assignment of the
Lease pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption of Leases between SSS and the
Carters, which was executed on January 17, 2006 (the "Assignment"). A true and
correct copy of the Assignment is attached hereto as Exhibit B and is incorporated
herein by reference as if fully set forth.
9. On or about December 29,2005, in connection with the pending sale of the
Property to SSS, Eric Cremo, President of Defendant, executed a Tenant Estoppel
Certificate (the "Certificate"). A true and correct copy of the Certificate is attached
hereto as Exhibit C and is incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth.
10. The Certificate set forth the terms of the Lease, and provided that SSS may rely on
its provisions in connection with its purchase of the Property.
11. On January 19, 2006, SSS sent to Defendant a notice of termination (the
''Termination Notice"), which was received by Defendant on January 23,2006.
True and correct copies of the Termination Notice and proof of receipt by
Defendant are attached hereto as Exhibit D and are incorporated herein by
reference as if fully set forth.
2
12. In the Termination Notice, SSS notified Defendant that the Lease was terminated
and instructed Defendant to vacate the Property by March 1, 2006.
13. As an accommodation to Defendant, SSS subsequently agreed to allow Defendant
to remain on the Property through April 16, 2006.
14. On or about April 11 , 2006, Defendant informed SSS that it did not intend to vacate
the Property until Defendant's new building was completed, which was then
expected to be in or about September, 2006.
15. On April 12, 2006, SSS served a notice to quit on Defendant, which directed
Defendant to vacate the Property no later than April 30, 2006. True and correct
copies of the notice to quit and proof of its service are attached hereto as Exhibit E
and are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth.
16. Defendant has failed and refused to vacate the Property notwithstanding the proper
termination of the Lease and proper service of the notice to quit.
17. SSS is entitled to immediate and exclusive possession of the Property.
18. Because the Lease has been properly terminated, Defendant has no right or
entitlement to remain in possession of the Property, and its failure to vacate is in
direct conflict with SSS's right to immediate and exclusive possession thereof.
19. SSS is developing the Property and adjacent properties into a shopping center, and
Defendant's failure to vacate the Property is impeding SSS's ability to continue in
its construction plan.
3
WHEREFORE, SSS respectfully requests that this Honorable Court enter
judgment in its favor and against Defendant for possession of the Property and grant
such other relief as this Court deems just and appropriate.

Re: Silver Spring Square II, LP
NOTICE TO QUIT
Our File No. 7922/13901
Dear Sirs:
This office represents Silver Spring Square II, LP ("SSS"), the owner of the
above-referenced property on which your business is located (the "Property"). By letter
dated January 10, 2006 and received by you on January 23, 2006, SSS terminated your
month to month lease and instructed you to vacate the Property by March 1, 2006. As
an accommodation to you, SSS subsequently agreed to allow you to remain in the
Property through April 16, 2006.
This letter serves as formal notice to quit. You are hereby directed to vacate the
Property no later than April 30, 2006. Your failure to do so will result in appropriate
action being taken by SSS to have you removed from the Property.
Please note that your failure to vacate the Property will cause a delay in SSS's
development process. This delay will cause damages to SSS in the amount of at least
$9,000 per day. This amount includes only the construction financing interest that will
be incurred; SSS's total damages will likely far exceed this amount. In the event that
you fail to vacate the Property as instructed in this notice, SSS will seek to hold you
(and your principals) responsible for all damages it sustains.

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Plaintiff
METRO CREMO & SONS, INC., t/a
CREMO'S VARIETY OUTLET,
Defendant
: CIVIL ACTION - EQUITY
PLAINTIFF'S PETITION FOR PRELIMINARY AND PERMANENT
INJUNCTION. OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE. FOR AN EXPEDITED HEARING
ON THE MERITS OF THE UNDERLYING ACTION
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, Regency Realty Group, Inc., t/a Silver Spring Square
II, LP ("SSS"), by and through its attorneys, Wix, Wenger & Weidner, and files this
Petition for Preliminary Injunction and Permanent Injunction, or in the Alternative, for an
Expedited Hearing on the Merits of the Underlying Action, alleging the following in
support:
1. Contemporaneously with the filing of this Petition, SSS filed its Complaint in this
action. A true and correct copy of SSS's Complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit A
and each and every allegation thereof is incorporated herein by reference as if fully
set forth.
2. SSS is the owner of the property at 6430 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania on which Defendant is currently operating its
business (the "Property"), having acquired it on January 17, 2006 from the prior
owner, the Carters.
3. SSS is in the process of developing the Property and adjacent properties into a
class A shopping center (the "Center"), with a required opening date of March 2007.
4. Through January 17, 2006, Defendant occupied the Property pursuant to the oral
Lease it had with the Carters.
5. The term of the Lease was month-to-month, terminable upon one month's notice,
and it contained no renewal or extension options.
6. On or about December 29, 2005, in connection with the pending sale of the
Property to SSS, Defendant executed a Tenant Estoppel Certificate (the
"Certificate"), which set forth the terms of the Lease, and on which, by its terms,
SSS was entitled to rely in connection with its purchase of the Property.
7. By letter dated January 19, 2006 and received by Defendant on January 23,2006,
SSS notified Defendant that the Lease was terminated and instructed Defendant to
vacate the Property by March 1, 2006.
8. In order to ensure timely completion of the construction of the Center, SSS needed
Defendant to vacate the Property by March 1, 2006.
9. On or about February 28, 2006, as an accommodation to Defendant, SSS agreed
to allow Defendant to remain on the Property through April 16, 2006, and Defendant
then agreed that it would vacate the Property by April 16, 2006.
2
3
10. SSS was able to relax its March 1 deadline by "surgically" doing site work in the
area of the Property. While this relaxation cost SSS time and extra money in the
inefficient use of contractor time, SSS agreed to absorb the cost in an effort to
accommodate what SSS believed was Defendant's necessary timeframe for
vacating the Property.
11. SSS intended to begin demolition of the building on the Property as of April 17 ,
2006.
12. On or about April 11, 2006, Defendant informed SSS that it did not intent to vacate
the Property until Defendant's new building was completed, which was then
expected to be in or about September 2006.
13. Prior to April 11, 2006, SSS had no notice, knowledge or indication that Defendant
intended to remain in the Property after April 16, 2006.
14. Because Defendant's remaining in the Property is not an option, on April 12, 2006,
SSS served a notice to quit on Defendant, which directed Defendant to vacate the
Property no later than April 30, 2006.
15. Defendant has failed and refused to vacate the Property notwithstanding the proper
termination of the Lease and proper service of the notice to quit.
16. Defendant's failure to vacate the Property is impeding SSS's ability to continue in its
construction plan and is putting in jeopardy SSS's ability to meet its construction
deadlines.
17. In order to meet its construction and completion deadlines, SSS must be able to
demolish the building on the Property immediately.
4
18. First, the other end of the building on the Property sits atop the new signalized
access-way into the Center from the Carlisle Pike. This is the only access into the
Center from the Carlisle Pike, with the exception of a right turn-in only access
further east.
19. In addition, most of the underground main utility services run in this area and
through the parking area that currently serves Defendant's business.
20. This area must be complete in order for the Center to open in March 2007.
21. The work to complete this access-way will take six months.
22. In order to meet its construction deadlines, SSS must be able to begin this work
immediately because, as part of this work, all utilities must be installed and then the
entire area must be asphalt paved.
23. Neither the Township nor PennDOT will allow asphalt paving to take place much
beyond October 15, and the asphalt plants do not thereafter open until late March
2007, which is beyond SSS's date for the opening of the Center.
24. Target is the anchor for the Center and has no obligation to open if the Center is not
completed in time for the March 2007 opening.
25. Target only opens stores three times a year: in March, July and October.
26. If SSS is unable to complete the Center as scheduled, the best case scenario
regarding Target is that there will be at least a three month delay in the Center's
opening.
5
27. If SSS is unable to complete the Center as scheduled, the worst case scenario is
that Target will walk away from the Center and refuse to open, which it has the right
to do under its agreement with SSS.
28. All of the smaller tenants of the Center have their opening and rent commencement
dates tied in to Target's start date. If SSS cannot meet its deadlines and Target
decides not to open in the Center, SSS could be left with no tenants at all. If Target
decides to stay in the Center and open at a later date (i.e., in July or October), at a
minimum, the opening of the other businesses in the Center could be delayed until
such date as well.
29. In such case, SSS would experience damages in at least the form of lost rentals
and additional interest payments on its construction financing. In the event that
Target remains and merely opens at a later date, at a minimum, these damages
could exceed $812,500. If Target opts to not open in the Center, SSS's damages
could exceed $50,000,000.
30. Second, the portion of the building currently occupied by Defendant sits atop a pad
for a new building to be erected for and occupied by Longhorn Steakhouse, a
prospective tenant in the shopping center. Delivery of the completed building to
Longhorn is required by September 1, 2006.
31. In order to meet this deadline, SSS must demolish the current building and utilities,
regrade the site to match the grade of the rest of the Center, bring underground
utilities to the pad, construct the building and pave the lot. This work will require
four months to complete. For each day past May 1, 2006 that Defendant remains in
6
the Propery, SSS's ability to meet Longhorn's deadline becomes less likely or
impossible.
32. SSS is entitled to immediate and exclusive possession of the Property.
33. Because the Lease has been properly terminated, Defendant has no right or
entitlement to remain in possession of the Property, and its failure to vacate is in
direct conflict with SSS's right to immediate and exclusive possession thereof.
34. Because it expected that Defendant would vacate, SSS accepted no rental
payments from Defendant for April 2006.
Request for Preliminarv and Permanent Iniunction
35. Paragraphs 1 through 34 hereof are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set
forth.
36. SSS seeks immediate preliminary and permanent injunctive relief in the form of an
Order:
a. declaring the SSS has the immediate and exclusive right to possession of
the Property;
b. declaring that Defendant has no rights to continue in possession of the
Property; and
c. requiring that Defendant immediately vacate the Property and turnover
possession thereof to SSS.
37. Because SSS is entitled to immediate and exclusive possession of the Property,
SSS is entitled to the injunctive relief sought.
7
38. The issuance of the requested preliminary injunction is reasonably suited to
address SSS's rights and prospective damages and Defendant's wrongful action.
39. Because SSS properly terminated the Lease, SSS will succeed on the merits of its
underlying claim.
40. The requested injunctive relief will prevent irreparable injury to SSS.
41. In contrast, because Defendant has no right to possess the Property, Defendant will
not be prejudiced or unduly inconvenienced or damaged by the issuance of the
injunctive relief requested herein.
42. Defendant is being unjustly enriched as a result of its unlawful possession of the
Property.
43. Unless this Court immediately grants the requested injunctive relief, SSS will suffer
immediate, substantial, and irreparable harm in at least the following respects:
(a) SSS's inability to possess and enjoy its Property, which it has the immediate
and exclusive right to possess and enjoy and which Defendant has no right to
possess or enjoy, will continue;
(b) The delay caused by Defendant's failure to timely vacate the Property will
irreparably prevent Plaintiff from completing the Center in time for the
required turnover to Longhorn on September 1, 2006 or the opening of the
rest of the Center in March 2007;
(c) Plaintiffs inability to open the Center in March 2007 could result in Target
choosing not to open in the Center at all, which would allow all of the other
tenants to avoid their leases;
8
(d) The entire business of SSS will fail, causing it to lose substantial business
opportunities and profits that are incalculable;
(e) SSS will lose its good will and reputation, and likely be unable to fill the
Center with class A tenants;
(f) SSS will have lost its substantial investment of time, money, and energy in
promoting its business, all of which is incalculable;
(g) Plaintiff will be deprived of its just revenues based on the Defendant's
conduct, all of which is incalculable; and
(h) SSS will, at a minimum, incur losses in an amount that will likely exceed
$812,500, and could quite realistically exceed $50,000,000.
44. SSS has no adequate remedy at law to redress the harm and injury that will be
caused by Defendant's unlawful, unauthorized, wilfull and wanton actions.
45. Injunctive relief is appropriate where, as in this case, one who has no right to
occupy and possess property refuses to give up possession to the one who has the
right to occupy and possess the property. See, e.g., Touraine Partners v. Kelly,
333 Pa.Super.196, 482 A.2d 240 (1984).
WHEREFORE, SSS respectfully requests that this Court enter a preliminary and
permanent injunctive Order:
a. declaring the SSS has the immediate and exclusive right to possession of the
Property;
b. declaring that Defendant has no rights to continue in possession of the
Property;
9
c. requiring that Defendant immediately vacate the Property and turnover
possession thereof to SSS; and
d. granting such other relief as this Court deems just and appropriate.
Alternative Reauest for Expedited Hearina
on Merits of Underlvina Action
46. Paragraphs 1 through 45 hereof are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set
forth.
47. SSS seeks an immediate hearing on the merits of the underlying action.
48. As set forth more fully above:
a. SSS is the owner of the Property;
b. SSS has properly terminated the Lease;
c. SSS has properly served a Notice to Quit on Defendant;
d. SSS is entitled to immediate and exclusive possession of the Property;
e. Defendant has no right to continue in possession of the Property.
49. There are no issues to be determined in the underlying action other than SSS's
right to immediate and exclusive possession of the Property.
50. The parties do not need to conduct discovery of any kind in connection with the
merits of the underlying action.
51. Defendant's continued occupancy of the Property is impeding SSS's ability to
develop the Property and construct the Center.
52. Time is of the essence for the vacating of the Property by Defendant if SSS is to
avoid damages, as aforesaid.
I
Respectfully S~mitted,
WHEREFORE, SSS respectfully requests that this Court set an immediate
hearing date on the merits of the underlying action so that the matter can be resolved
immediately to minimize the significant damages that SSS will otherwise incur if
Defendant's unlawful possession of the Premises is allowed to continue.

herein by reference as if fully set forth.
9. On or about December 29,2005, in connection with the pending sale of the

entitlement to remain in possession of the Property, and its failure to vacate is in

Re: Silver Spring Square II, LP
NOTICE TO QUIT
Our File No. 7922/13901
Dear Sirs:
This office represents Silver Spring Square II, LP ("SSS"), the owner of the
above-referenced property on which your business is located (the "Property"). By letter
dated January 10, 2006 and received by you on January 23, 2006, SSS terminated your
month to month lease and instructed you to vacate the Property by March 1, 2006. As
an accommodation to you, SSS subsequently agreed to allow you to remain in the
Property through April 16, 2006.
This letter serves as formal notice to quit. You are hereby directed to vacate the
Property no later than April 30, 2006. Your failure to do so will result in appropriate
action being taken by SSS to have you removed from the Property.
Please note that your failure to vacate the Property will cause a delay in SSS's
development process. This delay will cause damages to SSS in the amount of at least
$9,000 per day. This amount includes only the construction financing interest that will
be incurred; SSS's total damages will likely far exceed this amount. In the event that
you fail to vacate the Property as instructed in this notice, SSS will seek to hold you
(and your principals) responsible for all damages it sustains.

: CIVIL ACTION - EQUITY
PLAINTIFF'S PETITION FOR PRELIMINARY AND PERMANENT
INJUNCTION. OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE. FOR AN EXPEDITED HEARING
ON THE MERITS OF THE UNDERLYING ACTION
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, Regency Realty Group, Inc., tla Silver Spring Square
II, LP ("SSS"), by and through its attorneys, Wix, Wenger & Weidner, and files this
Petition for Preliminary Injunction and Permanent Injunction, or in the Alternative, for an
Expedited Hearing on the Merits of the Underlying Action, alleging the following in
support:
1. Contemporaneously with the filing of this Petition, SSS filed its Complaint in this
action. A true and correct copy of SSS's Complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit A
and each and every allegation thereof is incorporated herein by reference as if fully
set forth.
2. SSS is the owner of the property at 6430 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania on which Defendant is currently operating its
business (the "Property"), having acquired it on January 17, 2006 from the prior
owner, the Carters.
3. SSS is in the process of developing the Property and adjacent properties into a
class A shopping center (the "Center"), with a required opening date of March 2007.
4. Through January 17, 2006, Defendant occupied the Property pursuant to the oral
Lease it had with the Carters.
5. The term of the Lease was month-to-month, terminable upon one month's notice,
and it contained no renewal or extension options.
6. On or about December 29, 2005, in connection with the pending sale of the
Property to SSS, Defendant executed a Tenant Estoppel Certificate (the
"Certificate"), which set forth the terms of the Lease, and on which, by its terms,
SSS was entitled to rely in connection with its purchase of the Property.
7. By letter dated January 19, 2006 and received by Defendant on January 23, 2006,
SSS notified Defendant that the Lease was terminated and instructed Defendant to
vacate the Property by March 1, 2006.
8. In order to ensure timely completion of the construction of the Center, SSS needed
Defendant to vacate the Property by March 1, 2006.
9. On or about February 28, 2006, as an accommodation to Defendant, SSS agreed
to allow Defendant to remain on the Property through April 16, 2006, and Defendant
then agreed that it would vacate the Property by April 16, 2006.
2
10. SSS was able to relax its March 1 deadline by "surgically" doing site work in the
area of the Property. While this relaxation cost SSS time and extra money in the
inefficient use of contractor time, SSS agreed to absorb the cost in an effort to
accommodate what SSS believed was Defendant's necessary timeframe for
vacating the Property.
11. SSS intended to begin demolition of the building on the Property as of April 17 ,
2006.
12. On or about April 11, 2006, Defendant informed SSS that it did not intent to vacate
the Property until Defendant's new building was completed, which was then
expected to be in or about September 2006.
13. Prior to April 11, 2006, SSS had no notice, knowledge or indication that Defendant
intended to remain in the Property after April 16, 2006.
14. Because Defendant's remaining in the Property is not an option, on April 12, 2006,
SSS served a notice to quit on Defendant, which directed Defendant to vacate the
Property no later than April 30, 2006.
15. Defendant has failed and refused to vacate the Property notwithstanding the proper
termination of the Lease and proper service of the notice to quit.
16. Defendant's failure to vacate the Property is impeding SSS's ability to continue in its
construction plan and is putting in jeopardy SSS's ability to meet its construction
deadlines.
17. I n order to meet its construction and completion deadlines, SSS must be able to
demolish the building on the Property immediately.
3
18. First, the other end of the building on the Property sits atop the new signalized
access-way into the Center from the Carlisle Pike. This is the only access into the
Center from the Carlisle Pike, with the exception of a right turn-in only access
further east.
19. In addition, most of the underground main utility services run in this area and
through the parking area that currently serves Defendant's business.
20. This area must be complete in order for the Center to open in March 2007.
21. The work to complete this access-way will take six months.
22. In order to meet its construction deadlines, SSS must be able to begin this work
immediately because, as part of this work, all utilities must be installed and then the
entire area must be asphalt paved.
23. Neither the Township nor Penn DOT will allow asphalt paving to take place much
beyond October 15, and the asphalt plants do not thereafter open until late March
2007, which is beyond SSS's date for the opening of the Center.
24. Target is the anchor for the Center and has no obligation to open if the Center is not
completed in time for the March 2007 opening.
25. Target only opens stores three times a year: in March, July and October.
26. If SSS is unable to complete the Center as scheduled, the best case scenario
regarding Target is that there will be at least a three month delay in the Center's
opening.
4
27. If SSS is unable to complete the Center as scheduled, the worst case scenario is
that Target will walk away from the Center and refuse to open, which it has the right
to do under its agreement with SSS.
28. All of the smaller tenants of the Center have their opening and rent commencement
dates tied in to Target's start date. If SSS cannot meet its deadlines and Target
decides not to open in the Center, SSS could be left with no tenants at all. IfTarget
decides to stay in the Center and open at a later date (i.e., in July or October), at a
minimum, the opening of the other businesses in the Center could be delayed until
such date as well.
29. In such case, SSS would experience damages in at least the form of lost rentals
and additional interest payments on its construction financing. In the event that
Target remains and merely opens at a later date, at a minimum, these damages
could exceed $812,500. If Target opts to not open in the Center, SSS's damages
could exceed $50,000,000.
30. Second, the portion of the building currently occupied by Defendant sits atop a pad
for a new building to be erected for and occupied by Longhorn Steakhouse, a
prospective tenant in the shopping center. Delivery of the completed building to
Longhorn is required by September 1, 2006.
31. In order to meet this deadline, SSS must demolish the current building and utilities,
regrade the site to match the grade of the rest of the Center, bring underground
utilities to the pad, construct the building and pave the lot. This work will require
four months to complete. For each day past May 1, 2006 that Defendant remains in
5
the Propery, SSS's ability to meet Longhorn's deadline becomes less likely or
impossible.
32. SSS is entitled to immediate and exclusive possession of the Property.
33. Because the Lease has been properly terminated, Defendant has no right or
entitlement to remain in possession of the Property, and its failure to vacate is in
direct conflict with SSS's right to immediate and exclusive possession thereof.
34. Because it expected that Defendant would vacate, SSS accepted no rental
payments from Defendant for April 2006.
Reauest for Preliminary and Permanent Iniunction
35. Paragraphs 1 through 34 hereof are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set
forth.
36. SSS seeks immediate preliminary and permanent injunctive relief in the form of an
Order:
a. declaring the SSS has the immediate and exclusive right to possession of
the Property;
b. declaring that Defendant has no rights to continue in possession of the
Property; and
c. requiring that Defendant immediately vacate the Property and turnover
possession thereof to SSS.
37. Because SSS is entitled to immediate and exclusive possession of the Property,
SSS is entitled to the injunctive relief sought.
6
38. The issuance of the requested preliminary injunction is reasonably suited to
address SSS's rights and prospective damages and Defendant's wrongful action.
39. Because SSS properly terminated the Lease, SSS will succeed on the merits of its
underlying claim.
40. The requested injunctive relief will prevent irreparable injury to SSS.
41. In contrast, because Defendant has no right to possess the Property, Defendant will
not be prejudiced or unduly inconvenienced or damaged by the issuance of the
injunctive relief requested herein.
42. Defendant is being unjustly enriched as a result of its unlawful possession of the
Property.
43. Unless this Court immediately grants the requested injunctive relief, SSS will suffer
immediate, substantial, and irreparable harm in at least the following respects:
(a) SSS's inability to possess and enjoy its Property, which it has the immediate
and exclusive right to possess and enjoy and which Defendant has no right to
possess or enjoy, will continue;
(b) The delay caused by Defendant's failure to timely vacate the Property will
irreparably prevent Plaintiff from completing the Center in time for the
required turnover to Longhorn on September 1, 2006 or the opening of the
rest of the Center in March 2007;
(c) Plaintiffs inability to open the Center in March 2007 could result in Target
choosing not to open in the Center at all, which would allow all of the other
tenants to avoid their leases;
7
(d) The entire business of SSS will fail, causing it to lose substantial business
opportunities and profits that are incalculable;
(e) SSS will lose its good will and reputation, and likely be unable to fill the
Center with class A tenants;
(f) SSS will have lost its substantial investment of time, money, and energy in
promoting its business, all of which is incalculable;
(g) Plaintiff will be deprived of its just revenues based on the Defendant's
conduct, all of which is incalculable; and
(h) SSS will, at a minimum, incur losses in an amount that will likely exceed
$812,500, and could quite realistically exceed $50,000,000.
44. SSS has no adequate remedy at law to redress the harm and injury that will be
caused by Defendant's unlawful, unauthorized, wilfull and wanton actions.
45. Injunctive relief is appropriate where, as in this case, one who has no right to
occupy and possess property refuses to give up possession to the one who has the
right to occupy and possess the property. See, e.g., Touraine Partners v. Kelly,
333 Pa.Super.196, 482 A.2d 240 (1984).
WHEREFORE, SSS respectfully requests that this Court enter a preliminary and
permanent injunctive Order:
a. declaring the SSS has the immediate and exclusive right to possession of the
Property;
b. declaring that Defendant has no rights to continue in possession of the
Property;
8
c. requiring that Defendant immediately vacate the Property and tumover
possession thereof to SSS; and
d. granting such other relief as this Court deems just and appropriate.
Alternative Reauest for Exoedited Hearina
on Merits of Underlvina Action
46. Paragraphs 1 through 45 hereof are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set
forth.
47. SSS seeks an immediate hearing on the merits of the underlying action.
48. As set forth more fully above:
a. SSS is the owner of the Property;
b. SSS has properly terminated the Lease;
c. SSS has properly served a Notice to Quit on Defendant;
d. SSS is entitled to immediate and exclusive possession of the Property;
e. Defendant has no right to continue in possession of the Property.
49. There are no issues to be determined in the underlying action other than SSS's
right to immediate and exclusive possession of the Property.
50. The parties do not need to conduct discovery of any kind in connection with the
merits of the underlying action.
51. Defendant's continued occupancy of the Property is impeding SSS's ability to
develop the Property and construct the Center.
52. Time is of the essence for the vacating of the Property by Defendant if SSS is to
avoid damages, as aforesaid.
9
WHEREFORE, SSS respectfully requests that this Court set an immediate
hearing date on the merits of the underlying action so that the matter can be resolved
immediately to minimize the significant damages that SSS will otherwise incur if
Defendant's unlawful possession of the Premises is allowed to continue.

CIVIL ACTION - EQUITY
COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, Regency Realty Group, Inc., tla Silver Spring Square
II, LP ("SSS"), by and through its attorneys, Wix, Wenger & Weidner, and files this
Complaint, al/eging the following in support:
1. SSS is a Delaware limited partnership, qualified and authorized to do business in
Pennsylvania, whose business address is 150 Monument Road, Suite 406, Bala
Cynwyd, Pennsylvania 19004. SSS's general partner is Regency Realty Group,
Inc.,
2. Defendant is Metro Cremo & Sons, Inc., tla Cremo's Variety Outlet, a Pennsylvania
corporation that maintains its primary place of business at 6430 Carlisle Pike,
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055 (herein, the "Property").
3. Jurisdiction is proper in this Court because the property at issue in this case is
located in Cumberland County.
4. Through January 17, 2006, Defendant occupied the Property pursuant to an oral
lease (the "Lease") it had with Donald L. Carter and Marion Carter (the "Carters"),
who were the owners of the Property.
5. The term of the Lease was month-to-month, and it was terminable upon one
month's notice.
6. The Lease contained no renewal or extension options.
7. On January 17, 2008, SSS purchased the Property from the Carters. A true and
correct copy of the Deed into SSS is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is
incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth.
8. In connection with SSS's purchase of the Property, SSS took assignment of the
Lease pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption of Leases between SSS and the
Carters, which was executed on January 17, 2006 (the "Assignment"). A true and
correct copy of the Assignment is attached hereto as Exhibit B and is incorporated
herein by reference as if fully set forth.
9. On or about December 29, 2005, in connection with the pending sale of the
Property to SSS, Eric Cremo, President of Defendant, executed a Tenant Estoppel
Certificate (the "Certificate"). A true and correct copy of the Certificate is attached
hereto as Exhibit C and is incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth.
10. The Certificate set forth the terms of the Lease, and provided that SSS may rely on
its provisions in connection with its purchase of the Property.
11. On January 19, 2008, SSS sent to Defendant a notice of termination (the
"Termination Notice"), which was received by Defendant on January 23, 2006.
True and correct copies of the Termination Notice and proof of receipt by
Defendant are attached hereto as Exhibit D and are incorporated herein by
reference as if fully set forth.
2
12. In the Termination Notice, SSS notified Defendant that the Lease was terminated
and instructed Defendant to vacate the Property by March 1, 2006.
13. As an accommodation to Defendant, SSS subsequently agreed to allow Defendant
to remain on the Property through April 16, 2006.
14. On or about April 11 , 2006, Defendant informed SSS that it did not intend to vacate
the Property until Defendant's new building was completed, which was then
expected to be in or about September, 2006.
15. On April 12, 2006, SSS served a notice to quit on Defendant, which directed
Defendant to vacate the Property no later than April 30, 2006. True and correct
copies of the notice to quit and proof of its service are attached hereto as Exhibit E
and are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth.
16. Defendant has failed and refused to vacate the Property notwithstanding the proper
termination of the Lease and proper service of the notice to quit.
17. SSS is entitled to immediate and exclusive possession of the Property.
18. Because the Lease has been properly terminated, Defendant has no right or
entitlement to remain in possession of the Property, and its failure to vacate is in
direct conflict with SSS's right to immediate and exclusive possession thereof.
19. SSS is developing the Property and adjacent properties into a shopping center, and
Defendant's failure to vacate the Property is impeding SSS's ability to continue in
its construction plan.
3
WHEREFORE, SSS respectfully requests that this Honorable Court enter
judgment in its favor and against Defendant for possession of the Property and grant
such other relief as this Court deems just and appropriate.

NOTICE TO QUIT
Our File No. 7922/13901
Dear Sirs:
This office represents Silver Spring Square 1\, LP ("SSS"), the owner of the
above-referenced property on which your business is located (the "Property"), By letter
dated January 10,2006 and received by you on January 23,2006, SSS terminated your
month to month lease and instructed you to vacate the Property by March 1, 2006. As
an accommodation to you, SSS subsequently agreed to allow you to remain in the
Property through April 16, 2006.
This letter serves as formal notice to quit. You are hereby directed to vacate the
Pfoperty no later than April 30, 2006. Your failure to do so will result in appropriate
action being taken by SSS to have you removed from the Property,
Please note that your failure to vacate the Property will cause a delay in SSS's
development process. This delay will cause damages to SSS in the amount of at least
$9,000 per day. This amount includes only the construction financing interest that will
be incurred; SSS's total damages will likely far exceed this amount. In the event that
you fail to vacate the Property as instructed in this notice, SSS will seek to hold you
(and your pfincipals) responsibl~ for all damages it sustains.

CIVIL ACTION - EQUITY
STIPULATED ORDER
AND NOW, come the parties, by and through their respective undersigned
counsel and, intending to be legally bound, enter into this Stipulated Order, which the
parties agree shall be entered by this Court as a final order in this case. The factual
background, which shall constitute part of this Stipulated Order, is as follows:
1. Plaintiff, Regency Realty Group, Inc., tla Silver Spring Square II, L.P, ("SSS") is the
owner of the property at 6430 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania on which Defendant, Metro Cremo & Sons, Inc., tla Cremo's Variety
Outlet ("Cremo's") is currently operating its business (the "Property").
2. SSS is in the process of developing the Property and adjacent properties into a
class A shopping center (the "Center"), with a projected opening date of March
2007.
3. Cremo's has occupied and continues to occupy the Property pursuant to a lease
entered into with the former owners of the Property.
/
,
4. A question of fact remains as to whether, as SSS asserts, the term of the lease was
month-to-month, terminable upon one month's notice, containing no renewal or
extension options.
5. By letter dated January 19, 2006, SSS notified Cremo's that the lease was
terminated and instructed Cremo's to vacate the Property by March 1, 2006.
6. On or about February 28, 2006, SSS agreed to allow Cremo's to remain on the
Property through April 16, 2006.
7. SSS intended to begin demolition of the building on the Property (the "Building") on
of April 17, 2006.
8. On or about April 11 , 2006, Cremo's informed SSS that it did not intend to vacate
the Property until its new building was completed, which was then expected to be in
or about September 2006.
9. Because Cremo's remaining in the Property was not acceptable to SSS, on April
12,2006, SSS served a notice to quit, which directed Cremo's to vacate the
Property no later than April 30, 2006.
10. Because Cremo's did not vacate the Property by April 30, 2006, SSS initiated this
action by filing its Complaint. In addition, SSS filed its Petition for Preliminary
Injunction and Permanent Injunction, or in the Alternative, for an Expedited Hearing
on the Merits of the Underlying Action (the "Petition").
2
In consideration of the parties' agreement, and incorporating herein the above
factual background, it is hereby ORDERED:
1. Upon request of SSS, the Cumberland County Prothonotary shall enter this
Order as a judgment in favor of SSS and against Cremo's for possession of
the Property.
2. A judgment for possession notwithstanding, so long as Cremo's complies with
the terms of this Stipulated Order, Cremo's shall be entitled to remain in
possession of the Property, with full use of its portion of the Building,
customer and delivery vehicle parking areas, together with continued
connection to all existing utility services, subject to paragraph 4.e. hereof,
until 12:01 a.m. on Friday, September 1,2006 (the "Vacate Time").
3. So long as Cremo's continues its possession of its portion of the Building,
Cremo's shall pay to SSS rent in the amount of $5,500 per month through
August 31,2006. Cremo's shall make its payments for April and May within
ten days after the entry of this Order, and it shall make the remaining
payments on Of before the first day of June, July and August, respectively. In
the event Cremo's vacates the Building for any reason prior to August 31,
2006, SSS shall refund to Cremo's the pro-rata portion of paid rent. During
such occupancy and notwithstanding SSS's right to conduct work as set forth
in paragraph 4 below, Cremo's shall be entitled to maintain its customary
hours and methods of operation and neither SSS, nor its employees, agents,
3
contractors or sub-contractors shall unreasonably interfere with said
operations.
4. SSS shall be entitled to conduct any and all work necessary on and around
the Property in order to keep its construction on the Center progressing at a
pace necessary in its sole discretion to meet its construction schedule.
Without limiting the foregoing, SSS shall be specifically entitled to do all of the
following:
a. demolish the far eastern portion of the Building (i.e., the area
formerly occupied by "Bob's Intown Spas") when SSS deems such
work to be necessary or desirable;
b. demolish the middle portion of the Building (i.e., the area formerly
occupied by "Tri-State Electric"), if and when SSS deems such
work to be necessary or desirable. In the event of either such
partial demolition of the Building, SSS shall shore up the structure
of the remaining portion of the Building as needed so as to ensure
no ill effects to Cremo's business or the portion of the Building in
which Cremo's operates its business;
c. fence off the parking lot from the eastern end wall of the portion of
the Building that Cremo's occupies out to the Carlisle Pike;
d. begin filling and grading the areas around the Building, including up
to the loading dock wall base in the back and between Auto Zone
and Cremo's, provided, however, such filling and grading shall not
4
unreasonably restrict or prevent access by trailer tractor delivery
vehicles to and from Cremo's loading dock and the Carlisle Pike;
e. begin installing underground and above ground utilities in the areas
around the Building, including but not limited to under the driveway
and parking areas, which may include temporary shut off of
Cremo's utilities during non-business hours, if necessary; and
f. doing any and all other work SSS deems necessary and
appropriate to ensure a pace necessary in its sole discretion to
meet its construction schedule and that is otherwise not in conflict
with Cremo's business operations or its continued occupancy of its
portion of the Building.
In doing all of the above work:
a. Cremo's shall grant to SSS, its agents, employees, subcontractors
and others who are doing work for or on behalf of SSS at the
Property, such access to the parking areas and driveway serving
Cremo's business as SSS deems necessary or desirable in order to
conduct its construction work on and around the Property; pfovided,
however, SSS shall control access and availability to ensure that
Cremo's customers may still get in and out of the Property.
b. Cremo's will not in any way interfere with SSS's progress, work,
agents, employees, subcontractors and others who are doing work
for or on behalf of SSS at the Property and shall cooperate fully to
5
ensure that SSS's construction activities can proceed at and
around the Property at a pace necessary in SSS's sole discretion to
meet its construction schedule.
c. SSS shall ensure that its work does not have an unreasonable
disparate impact on Cremo's ability to continue its business
operations through the Vacate Time.
5. SSS shall be entitled at any time after the entry of this Stipulated Order to file
with the Prothonotary a Praecipe for Writ of Execution/Possession directing
the Sheriff to turn over the Property to SSS, so long as the turn over does not
occur prior to the Vacate Time.
6. In the event that Cremo's defaults in any of its obligations under this
Stipulated Order (except the obligation to vacate the Property by the Vacate
Time), and such default is not cured within five calendar days after written
notice to Cremo's pursuant to paragraph 9 below, SSS shall be entitled to
direct the Sheriff to turn over the Property prior to the Vacate Time.
7. Cremo's shall vacate the Property and ensure that all of its equipment,
inventory, furnishings and other property has been removed from the Property
no later than the Vacate Time. SSS intends to demolish the portion of the
building on the Property in which Cremo's conducts its business on Friday,
September 1, 2006. In the event that there remains any equipment,
inventory, furnishings or other property on the Property after the Vacate Time,
or earlier turnover date as provided in paragraph 6 hereof, it/they shall be
6
deemed to have been abandoned, and SSS shall have no liability to Cremo's,
or to any other person or entity, resulting from any damage to or loss of any
such equipment, inventory, furnishings and other property that remains on the
Property after the Vacate Time, or earlier turnover date as provided in
paragraph 6 hereof. Cremo's hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless SSS and its agents, employees, subcontractors and all others who
are doing work for or on behalf of SSS at the Property from and against any
and all claims by any person or entity relating to any damage to or loss of any
property that remains on the Property after the Vacate Time, or earlier
turnover date as provided in paragraph 6 hereof.
8. Conditioned upon full compliance by Cremo's of the terms of this Stipulated
Order, SSS, for itself, its partners, shareholders, directors, tenants,

CREMO'S VARIETY OUTLET,
Defendant
CIVIL ACTION - EQUITY
STIPULATED ORDER
AND NOW, come the parties, by and through their respective undersigned
counsel and, intending to be legally bound, enter into this Stipulated Order, which the
parties agree shall be entered by this Court as a final order in this case. The factual
background, which shall constitute part of this Stipulated Order, is as follows:
1. Plaintiff, Regency Realty Group, Inc., t/a Silver Spring Square II, L.P. ("555") is the
owner of the property at 6430 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania on which Defendant, Metro Cremo & Sons, Inc., t/a Cremo's Variety
Outlet ("Cremo's") is currently operating its business (the "Property").
2. SSS is in the process of developing the Property and adjacent properties into a
class A shopping center (the "Center"), with a projected opening date of March
2007.
3. Cremo's has occupied and continues to occupy the Property pursuant to a lease
entered into with the former owners of the Property.
.
4. A question of fact remains as to whether, as SSS asserts, the term of the lease was
month-to-month, terminable upon one month's notice, containing no renewal or
extension options.
5. By letter dated January 19, 2006, SSS notified Cfemo's that the lease was
terminated and instructed Cremo's to vacate the Property by March 1, 2006.
6. On or about February 28, 2006, SSS agreed to allow Cremo's to remain on the
Property through April 16, 2006.
7. SSS intended to begin demolition of the building on the Property (the "Building") on
of April 17, 2006.
8. On or about April 11 , 2006, Cremo's informed SSS that it did not intend to vacate
the Property until its new building was completed, which was then expected to be in
or about September 2006.
9. Because Cremo's remaining in the Property was not acceptable to SSS, on April
12,2006, SSS served a notice to quit, which directed Cremo's to vacate the
Property no later than April 30, 2006.
10. Because Cremo's did not vacate the Property by April 30, 2006, SSS initiated this
action by filing its Complaint. In addition, SSS filed its Petition for Preliminary
Injunction and Permanent Injunction, or in the Alternative, for an Expedited Hearing
on the Merits of the Underlying Action (the "Petition").
2
.
In consideration of the parties' agreement, and incorporating herein the above
factual background, it is hereby ORDERED:
1. Upon request of SSS, the Cumberland County Prothonotary shall enter this
Order as a judgment in favor of SSS and against Cremo's for possession of
the Property.
2. A judgment for possession notwithstanding, so long as Cremo's complies with
the terms of this Stipulated Order, Cremo's shall be entitled to remain in
possession of the Property, with full use of its portion of the Building,
customer and delivery vehicle parking areas, together with continued
connection to all existing utility services, subject to paragraph 4.e. hereof,
until 12:01 a.m. on Friday, September 1,2006 (the "Vacate Time").
3. So long as Cremo's continues its possession of its portion of the Building,
Cremo's shall pay to SSS rent in the amount of $5,500 per month through
August 31, 2006. Cremo's shall make its payments for April and May within
ten days after the entry of this Order, and it shall make the remaining
payments on or before the first day of June, July and August, respectively. In
the event Cremo's vacates the Building for any reason prior to August 31,
2006, SSS shall refund to Cremo's the pro-rata portion of paid rent. During
such occupancy and notwithstanding SSS's right to conduct work as set forth
in paragraph 4 below, Cremo's shall be entitled to maintain its customary
hours and methods of operation and neither SSS, nor its employees, agents,
3
contractors or sub-contractors shall unreasonably interfere with said
operations.
4. SSS shall be entitled to conduct any and all work necessary on and around
the Property in order to keep its construction on the Center progressing at a
pace necessary in its sole discretion to meet its construction schedule.
Without limiting the foregoing, SSS shall be specifically entitled to do all of the
following:
a. demolish the far eastern portion of the Building (i.e., the area
formerly occupied by "Bob's Intown Spas") when SSS deems such
work to be necessary or desirable;
b. demolish the middle portion of the Building (i.e., the area formerly
occupied by ''Tri-State Electric"), if and when SSS deems such
work to be necessary or desirable. In the event of either such
partial demolition of the Building, SSS shall shore up the structure
of the remaining portion of the Building as needed so as to ensure
no ill effects to Cremo's business or the portion of the Building in
which Cremo's operates its business;
c. fence off the parking lot from the eastern end wall of the portion of
the Building that Cremo's occupies out to the Carlisle Pike;
d. begin filling and grading the areas around the Building, including up
to the loading dock wall base in the back and between Auto Zone
and Cremo's, provided, however, such filling and grading shall not
4
,
unfeasonably restrict or prevent access by trailer tractor delivery
vehicles to and from Cremo's loading dock and the Carlisle Pike;
e. begin installing underground and above ground utilities in the areas
around the Building, including but not limited to under the driveway
and parking areas, which may include temporary shut off of
Cfemo's utilities during non-business hours, if necessary; and
f. doing any and all other work SSS deems necessary and
appropriate to ensure a pace necessary in its sole discretion to
meet its construction schedule and that is otherwise not in conflict
with Cremo's business operations or its continued occupancy of its
portion of the Building.
In doing all of the above work:
a. Cremo's shall grant to SSS, its agents, employees, subcontractors
and others who are doing work for or on behalf of SSS at the
Property, such access to the parking areas and driveway serving
Cremo's business as SSS deems necessary or desirable in order to
conduct its construction work on and around the Property; provided,
however, SSS shall control access and availability to ensure that
Cremo's customers may still get in and out of the Property.
b. Cremo's will not in any way interfere with SSS's progress, work,
agents, employees, subcontractors and others who are doing work
for or on behalf of SSS at the Property and shall cooperate fully to
5
ensure that SSS's construction activities can proceed at and
around the Property at a pace necessary in SSS's sole discretion to
meet its construction schedule,
c. SSS shall ensure that its work does not have an unreasonable
disparate impact on Cremo's ability to continue its business
operations through the Vacate Time.
5. SSS shall be entitled at any time after the entry of this Stipulated Order to file
with the Prothonotary a Praecipe for Writ of Execution/Possession directing
the Sheriff to turn over the Property to SSS, so long as the turn over does not
occur pfior to the Vacate Time.
6. In the event that Cremo's defaults in any of its obligations under this
Stipulated Order (except the obligation to vacate the Property by the Vacate
Time), and such default is not cured within five calendar days after written
notice to Cremo's pursuant to paragraph 9 below, SSS shall be entitled to
direct the Sheriff to turn over the Property prior to the Vacate Time.
7. Cremo's shall vacate the Property and ensure that all of its equipment,
inventory, furnishings and other property has been removed from the Pfoperty
no later than the Vacate Time. SSS intends to demolish the portion of the
building on the Property in which Cremo's conducts its business on Friday,
September 1, 2006. In the event that there remains any equipment,
inventory, furniShings or other property on the Property after the Vacate Time,
or earlier turnover date as provided in paragraph 6 hereof, it/they shall be
6
,
deemed to have been abandoned, and SSS shall have no liability to Cremo's,
or to any other person or entity, resulting from any damage to or loss of any
such equipment, inventory, furnishings and other property that remains on the
Property after the Vacate Time, or earlier turnover date as provided in
paragraph 6 hereof. Cremo's hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless SSS and its agents, employees, subcontractors and all others who
are doing work for or on behalf of SSS at the Property from and against any
and all claims by any person or entity relating to any damage to or loss of any
property that remains on the Property after the Vacate Time, or earlier
turnover date as provided in paragraph 6 hereof.
8. Conditioned upon full compliance by Cremo's of the terms of this Stipulated
Order, SSS, for itself, its partners, shareholders, directors, tenants,

PETITION TO OPEN JUDGMENT
!1...
AND NOW, this 2,j day of August, 2006, comes the Defendant, Metro Cremo &
Sons, Inc., tla Cremo's Variety Outlet, by and through its counsel, Johnson, Duffie, Stewart &
Weidner, and files this Petition to Open Judgment and in support thereof avers as follows:
1. On May 1, 2006, Plaintiff filed a Complaint with this Court seeking a judgment
against Defendant and in favor of Plaintiff for possession of the property located at 6430 Carlisle
Pike, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania ("Property").
2. Simultaneous with the filing of the Complaint, Plaintiff filed a Petition for Preliminary
and Permanent Injunction seeking removal of the Defendant from the Property in advance of a
final determination for possession pursuant to the Complaint.
., - .
3. On May 3, 2006, Plaintiff and Defendant, through their respective counsel entered
into a Stipulated Order ("Order") providing, inter alia, for Defendant's continued possession of the
Property through 11 :59 p.m., August 31, 2006.
4. Said Order was granted by the Honorable M. L. Ebert, Jr. of the Court on May 4,
2006.
5. Under the terms of the Order, Plaintiff was entitled to conduct construction
activities for its shopping center project upon lands adjacent to the Property so long as Plaintiff did
no unreasonably interfere with the business activities of Defendant.
6. On at least ten (10) separate dates between May 3, 2006 and August 9, 2006,
Plaintiffs construction activities interfered with Defendant's business operations by blocking or
limiting Defendants use of said facilities and in turn materially interfering with Defendant's
business operations.
7. On at least one occaision, Plaintiffs construction activities caused Defendant's
telephone and electrical services to be disrupted for the majority of the business day.
8. Plaintiffs breaches of the terms of the Order were material and have caused
monetary losses to Defendant which are difficult, if not impossible to quantify.
9. As a remedy for these breaches, Defendant seeks an opening of the judgment in
the matter and a fifteen (15) day extension of Defendant's occupancy of the Property.
10. It is Defendant's believe that such relief would offset the damages to Defendant
caused by Plaintiff and which are otherwise not calculable, in a manner which does not harm
Plaintiff.
2
\.---~
, .
.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that the judgment entered on May 4, 2006
pursuant to the Stipulated Order between Plaintiff and Defendant be opened and that this Court
amend the Stipulated Order between Plaintiff and Defendant entered May 4, 2006 by extending
Defendant's occupancy of the Property for an additional fifteen (15) day period.
Respectfully submitted,
