3. Admitted.

4. Admitted.

2014. Also, the Respondent was prevented from providing the purchase price payments to

Harry Williams, Sr. because Yellow Cab initiated a lawsuit against Harry Williams, Sr. and

Respondent on or about December 18, 2014 alleging that the license belonged to Yellow Cab

due to an alleged right of first refusal. By way of further answer, the purchase price of $90,000

was not required to be paid as a lump sum as implied by Petitioner. To the contrary, $50,000

was to be payable in a lump sum and the remainder was to be payable in 36 monthly

installments of $1,168.00. See Paragraph 4 of Asset Purchase Agreement.

7. Denied. Respondent did not indicate prior to approval of the license transfer that funding was

in place and approval by the PUC could be requested.

8. Admitted.

AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES

1. Petitioner's Petition fails, in whole or in part, to state a claim upon

which relief may be granted.

2. To the extent Petitioner failed to institute this action within the time required under

the applicable statute of limitations, his claims for relief are barred.

3. Petitioner's Petition is barred, in whole or in part, by the doctrines of waiver, estoppel,

laches, unclean hands, and/or ratification.

4. Petitioner's Petition fails to the extent that Petitioner has failed to mitigate his damages,

if any, as required by law.

5. Respondent, at all times relevant to this action, has acted reasonably and in good faith

toward Petitioner, and in fijll compliance will all applicable laws, including PUC rules and regulations.

NEW MATTER

6. The parties mutually agreed to extend the closing date which is permissible under

Paragraph 3 of the Asset Purchase Agreement. A true and correct copy of the Asset Purchase

Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference.

7. Petitioner failed to inform Respondent prior to entering into the Asset Purchase

Agreement that Yellow Cab Company had a right of first refusal in Petitioner's license.

8. Yellow Cab Company of Pittsburgh, Inc. initiated a lawsuit against Harry Williams, Sr.

and Respondent on or about December 18, 2014 alleging that the license belonged to Yellow Cab due

to an alleged right of first refusal granted by Petitioner to Yellow Cab. See Yellow Cab Company of

Pittsburgh, Inc. v. Harry Williams, Sr., et al, No. GD 14-23297 (Allegheny County).

9. Harry Williams, Sr. died on July 13, 2014. His estate was not created until over one year

later - on or about June 4, 2015. Thus, during that time the Respondent had no party to whom to pay

the purchase price of the license.

10. Respondent has indicated to Petitioner that he remains willing and able to pay the purchase

price of the license (less attorneys' fees) in monthly installments to the appropriate party.

11. This matter is further complicated by the fact that while Petitioner failed to provide the

right of first refusal to Yellow Cab, Yellow Cab effectively waived its rights to object to the transfer of

the license when Yellow Cab failed to object to the transfer when the transfer was published for

opposition by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.

12. Respondent should not be penalized for Petitioner's failure to offer the right of first refusal

to Yellow Cab.

13. Petitioner's failure to disclose the right of first refusal allegedly owed to Yellow Cab has

caused Respondent to incur significant legal fees and damages.

14. It would be unjust for this Commission to rescind approval of the license issued to the

Respondent when Respondent did not commit any wrongdoing and remains willing and able to pay the

purchase price of the license (less attorneys' fees) in monthly installments to the appropriate party.

15. Respondent has made numerous attempts to try to settle this matter with Petitioner.

Recently, Respondent offered a sum of money and release to Petitioner to which Petitioner responded

that it would accept the offer if Yellow Cab consented to the settlement.

16. As of the date of this pleading. Yellow Cab has not responded to our request to consent to

the settlement with Petitioner. Yellow Cab is preventing the parties from moving forward.

17. This matter is a breach of contract issue pending in the Court of Common Pleas of

Allegheny County. Respondent respectfully requests that this Commission deny Petitioner's Petition,

because this is a breach of contract action and Respondent has not violated any PUC rule or regulation.

WHEREFORE, Respondent Janitorial Resources, Inc. t/a North Shore Shuttles, LLC requests

that the Petition be denied.
