MOTION FOR ENTRY OF DEFAULT AND JUDGMENT

1. Plaintiffs original complaint was brought solely under ERISA, 29 U.S.C. 1132, 1145, to recover unpaid contributions, liquidated damages, audit costs, NSF Fees, court costs and attorneys fees. The summons and complaint were served on Defendant on June 11, 2015. A true and correct copy of the summons and affidavit of service is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

2. On June 18, 2015, Plaintiffs filed their First Amended Complaint, adding Local 112 as a Plaintiff and adding a count to recover dues under the LMRA, 29 U.S.C. § 185. The First Amended Complaint was served on Defendant's Registered Agent on July 1, 2015. A true and correct copy of the first amended complaint and affidavit of service is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

3. Defendant's answer to the first amended complaint was due by July 16, 2015. As Defendant has failed to timely answer the First Amended Complaint, Plaintiffs respectfully request entry of default and judgment in the amounts set forth herein.

4. Defendant is bound to various collective bargaining agreements with Local Unions affiliated with the International Association of Iron Workers, including Locals 111, 112 and 444, each of which require Defendant to report and pay fringe benefit contributions and wage deductions to Plaintiffs (Ex. C, Burke Aff., ¶ 4; Ex. D, Stanley Aff., ¶ 4). Plaintiff Funds act as the collecting agent for contributions required under these agreements for smaller funds, including apprenticeship funds, building trades funds, industry advancement funds, and other related funds (Ex. C, Burke Aff., ¶ 4). The collective bargaining agreements incorporate the Trust Agreements establishing and governing the Plaintiff Funds (Ex. C, Burke Aff., ¶ 4).

5. A review of Defendant's payroll books and records was conducted by Legacy Professionals, LLP, Certified Public Accountants covering the period from December 1, 2012 through December 31, 2014 (Ex. C, Burke Aff., ¶ 7). Based upon the additional hours itemized in Legacy's report and all other evidence and records of payments from Defendant maintained by the Funds, the following contributions and liquidated damages are due from the Defendant to the Plaintiff Funds:

Liquidated Plaintiff Fund Contributions Damages Mid-America Pension Fund $7,163.28 $1,909.38 Supplemental Monthly Annuity (SMA) $5,636.51 $1,487.50

(Ex. C, Burke Aff., ¶ 8).

6. Legacy Professionals, LLP has charged the Trustees the sum of $1,631.86 for auditing fees, which sum has been paid by the Funds (Ex. C, Burke Aff., ¶ 9).

7. Defendant submitted reports and contributions for work in Local 112's jurisdiction for November 2014, but underpaid the contributions due the Funds by $224.16, thus incurring liquidated damages of $21.69 (Ex. C, Burke Aff., ¶ 10).

8. Defendant submitted reports and contributions for work in Local 112's jurisdiction for February 2015, but the check submitted therewith was dishonored by Defendant's bank. Consequently, Defendant still owes contributions of $29,995.41, plus liquidated damages of $1,658.42, and NSF fees of $400.00 (Ex. C, Burke Aff., ¶ 11).

9. Defendant has not submitted reports or contributions for work performed in any Local Union's jurisdiction for March 2015 through July 2015. However, based on check stubs, invoices and/or time sheets received from Defendant's covered employees and general contractors in Local 112's jurisdiction through July 2015, Defendant is currently known to owe the Funds the following:

Liquidated Plaintiff Fund Contributions Damages Mid-America Pension Plan $40,476.94 $1,203.87 Supplemental Monthly Annuity (SMA) Fund $32,639.34 $967.85 Other Funds $ 6,144.29

(Ex. C, Burke Aff., ¶ 12).

10. Defendant further owes Plaintiffs liquidated damages on contributions reported and paid late between April 2014 and January 2015 totaling $4,683.43 (Ex. C, Burke Aff., ¶ 13).

11. Based on reports submitted to Plaintiffs by Harley for the months of February 2015 and based on check stubs and timesheets for March through May 2015, Defendant owes Local 112 dues totaling $10,960.74 (Ex. D, Stanley Aff., ¶ 7).

12. Plaintiffs have incurred and are entitled to recover their reasonable court costs and attorneys' fees of $4,356.00 (Ex. E, Chapman Aff., ¶ 10).

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request that judgment by default be entered in their favor, against Defendant, in the total amount of $151,560.67.

FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT

The Plaintiffs, IRON WORKERS' MID-AMERICA PENSION PLAN, IRON WORKERS' MID-AMERICA SUPPLEMENTAL MONTHLY ANNUITY (SMA) FUND and JOSEPH J. BURKE, as Administrative Manager (collectively, "Funds"), and IRON WORKERS LOCAL 112 ("Local 112"), by their attorneys, complaining of the Defendant, HARLEY ERECTORS, INC., an Illinois corporation, allege as follows:

COUNT I

(Funds' claim for unpaid contributions under ERISA)

1. This Count arises under the laws of the United States and is brought pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1132, 1145 (hereinafter referred to as "ERISA"). Jurisdiction is based upon the existence of questions arising thereunder, as hereinafter more fully appears.

2. Plaintiffs, the IRON WORKERS' MID-AMERICA PENSION PLAN and IRON WORKERS' MID-AMERICA SUPPLEMENTAL MONTHLY ANNUITY (SMA) FUND, are pension and related joint, labor-management funds and bring this action as "employee pension benefit funds", and "plans", under ERISA and Plaintiff, JOSEPH J. BURKE, is the Administrative Manager of Plaintiff Funds and a fiduciary with respect thereto. Plaintiff Funds are administered within this District

3. Plaintiffs have further been engaged to collect contributions due to various other jointly administered trust funds, including the Local 112 IMPACT Fund, Local 112 Apprentice Training Fund, Local 112 CCDL Fund, and Local 112 Building Trades Fund.

4. Defendant is bound to one or more collective bargaining agreements, including a collective bargaining agreement with Local 112, which obligates Defendant to report and pay fringe benefit contributions and wage deductions to the Funds. The collective bargaining agreements further incorporate and bind Defendant to the Agreements and Declarations of Trust establishing and outlining the administration of the Funds.

5. As an employer obligated to make fringe benefit contributions to the Funds under the terms of the Trust Agreements and collective bargaining agreements, Defendant is specifically required to do the following:

(a) To submit to Plaintiffs for each month, by the 15th day of the month following the month for which the report is made, a report stating the names, social security numbers, and total hours worked or for which wages were received in such month by each and every person on whose behalf contributions are required to be made by Defendant to Plaintiffs; or, if no such persons are employed for a given month, to submit a report so stating; (b) To have a duly authorized agent verify said reports by signature and to accompany the reports with payment of contributions based upon an hourly rate as stated in the applicable agreements; (c) To make all of its payroll books and records available to Plaintiffs for the purpose of auditing same, to determine whether Defendant is making full payment as required under the applicable agreements; (d) To compensate Plaintiffs for the additional administrative costs and burdens imposed by Defendant's failure to pay, or untimely payment of, contributions, by way of the payment of liquidated damages in the amount of 1½% per month on the whole amount of contributions remaining from time to time unpaid, together with interest as provided in ERISA, 29 U.S.C. § 1132(g); (e) To pay any and all costs incurred by Plaintiffs in auditing Defendant's payroll records, should it be determined that Defendant was delinquent in the reporting or submission of all contributions required of it to be made to Plaintiffs; (f) To pay Plaintiffs' reasonable attorneys' fees and costs necessarily incurred in the prosecution of any action to require Defendant to submit its payroll books and records for audit or to recover delinquent contributions; (g) To furnish to Plaintiffs a bond with good and sufficient surety thereon, in an amount acceptable to Plaintiffs, to cover future contributions due the Plaintiffs.

6. Defendant is delinquent and has breached its obligations to Plaintiffs and its obligations under the plans in the following respects:

(a) Defendant has failed and refused to verify and submit all of its reports to Plaintiffs due, to date, and/or, has failed to make payment of all contributions acknowledged by Defendant thereon to be due Plaintiffs; (b) Defendant has failed to make payment of contributions, liquidated damages, and audit fees based upon an audit of the Defendant's payroll records showing Defendant to have been delinquent in the payment of contributions and to have reported hours worked by its Employees incorrectly to Plaintiffs; (c) Defendant has made payment of contributions due Plaintiffs, but such payment was made in an untimely fashion pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement and Trust Agreements. Plaintiffs have assessed liquidated damages and accrued interest against the Defendant as authorized by the Trust Agreements and ERISA, but Defendant has failed and refused to make payment of said liquidated damages and accrued interest

7. That upon careful review of all records maintained by Plaintiffs, and after application of any and all partial payments made by Defendant, there is a total of $123,463.38, known to be due Plaintiffs from Defendant, subject however to the possibility that additional monies may be due Plaintiffs from Defendant based upon Defendant's failure to submit all required reports, or to accurately state all hours for which contributions are due on reports previously submitted, and subject further to the possibility that additional contributions and liquidated damages will come due during the pendency of this lawsuit.

8. Plaintiffs have requested that Defendant perform its obligations as aforesaid, but Defendant has failed and refused to so perform.

9. Defendant's continuing refusal and failure to perform its obligations to Plaintiffs is causing and will continue to cause irreparable injuries to Plaintiffs for which Plaintiffs have no adequate remedy at law.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs pray:

(A) That Defendant be enjoined and ordered to verify and submit all delinquent monthly contribution reports to Plaintiffs with the information required to be provided thereon, to continue to submit such verified reports while this is pending, and to comply with its contractual obligation to timely submit such reports in the future; (B) That judgment be entered in favor of Plaintiffs and against Defendant for all unpaid contributions, liquidated damages, any costs of auditing Defendant's records, accrued interest, and Plaintiffs' reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs necessarily incurred in this action as specified herein, or as subsequently determined, all as provided for in the plans and in ERISA;

untraceable commingled with Defendant's assets, and further entitle Local 112 to recover from Defendant its damages for breach of Defendant's obligations.

WHEREFORE, Local 112 prays:

(A) That judgment be entered in its favor and against Defendant for all sums determined to be due from Defendant to Local 112; (B) That Local 112 recover from Defendant its damages and all costs of collection and recovery including its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs; (C) That Local 112 have such further relief as may be considered just and equitable by the Court, all at Defendant's cost. /s/ Patrick N.

JOSEPH J. BURKE, first being duly sworn upon his oath, deposes and says:

1.

3. The Funds are jointly trusteed employee benefit trust funds providing pension benefits to their participants, and are administered at 2350 East 170th Street, Lansing, Illinois.

4. Defendant is bound to various collective bargaining agreements with Local Unions affiliated with the International Association of Iron Workers, including Locals 111, 112 and 444, each of which require Defendant to report and pay fringe benefit contributions to Plaintiffs. True and correct signature pages of Defendant's agreements are attached hereto as Exhibit 1. Plaintiffs act as the collecting agent for contributions required under these agreements for smaller funds, including apprenticeship funds, building trades funds, industry advancement funds, and other related funds. The collective bargaining agreements incorporate the Trust Agreements establishing and governing the Plaintiff Funds.

5. Pursuant to the Funds' respective Trust Agreements (true and correct excerpts of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2 and 3): (a) untimely contributions are assessed liquidated damages at the rate of 1.5% per month (Ex. 2 & 3, Amendment 14); (b) the Funds are entitled to recover any costs and attorneys' fees incurred in efforts to recover unpaid contributions or liquidated damages (Ex. 2 & 3, Art.

Ill, Sec. 1(A)(1)); and (d) the Trustees are empowered to adopt any policies deemed necessary to preserve the trust (Ex. 2 & 3, Art. Ill, Sec. 1 (B)(6) and Art. Ill, Sec. 2(G)).

6.

7. A review of Defendant's payroll books and records was conducted by Legacy Professionals, LLP, Certified Public Accountants. Legacy prepared a Compliance Audit report after completing its review covering the period from December 1, 2012 through December 31, 2014, a redacted but otherwise true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.

Redacted but otherwise true and correct copies of Defendant's February 2015 reports and check are attached hereto as Exhibit 6.

DUTIES AND POWERS OF THE TRUSTEES

Section 1. In the administration of the Pension Plan, the Trustees, consistent with the purposes of the Trust Fund shall have power and authority to:

A. Require timely contributions to the Trust Fund by Employers in accordance with written agreements between the Employer or his collective bargaining agent and the Union. The Trustees shall have power to demand, collect, and receive Employer Contributions for the purpose specified herein and shall have power to specify the time, manner, and place of payment thereof, and the right to institute, prosecute or intervene in any proceedings at law or in equity or in bankruptcy as may be necessary or desirable to effectuate the collection of Employer Contributions. In the event that upon audit made by the Trustees and/or upon other evidence it is found by the Trustees that an Employer has failed to make required Employer Contributions, the Trustees are authorized and empowered: (1) To assess and receive from such Employer all costs of the audit. (2) To assess and receive from such Employer as liquidated damages an amount equal to 80 basis points over 1/12th of the Prime Rate charged by the Northern Trust Company of Chicago as of the first business day of each month based on the unpaid balance at that time, or $50.00 per month, whichever is greater, in that the failure of the Employer to make the required timely payment of Employer Contributions imposes additional burden and expense upon the Trustees in the collection thereof; in the administration of the Trust Fund, including but not limited to the processing of late contribution reports, correspondence and other communication with said Employer; and, in addition thereto, may cause a loss of benefits to an Employee, and loss of benefit of the use of amounts required to be paid, all of which are difficult of accurate ascertainment. (3) To impose and receive from such Employer all costs, audit expenses and attorneys' fees incurred by the Trustees in enforcing the provisions hereof, whether by litigation or otherwise. (4) To require such Employer to make weekly deposits of Employer Contributions in an amount determined by the Trustees, based on objective standards. Provided that the Trustees have given such Employer reasonable notice of such requirement for weekly deposits, the amount to be deposited, the date such deposits are due and the basis on which the weekly deposit is determined and required. (5) To require such Employer to furnish to the Trustees a bond, with reputable surety thereon: (a) with the Trustees as obligees thereunder; (b) in an amount determined by the Trustees consistent with the anticipated future obligations of such Employer; and (c) with notice provisions acceptable to the Trustees consistent with the purposes of such bond. The remedies provided herein shall be exclusive of any other remedies available to the Trustees, and shall have no effect upon such remedies. B. Make such uniform rules and regulations as are consistent with and necessary for effectuating the provisions of this Agreement and Declaration of Trust, including but not limited to the following: (1) To develop procedures for the establishment of credited service of Employees, including the means of affording Employees and Employers the opportunity to object thereto, and to establish such facts conclusively. (2) To prescribe rules and procedures governing the application for and determination of benefits for Employees and beneficiaries, it being agreed that such rules and regulations otherwise referred to as the Pension Plan shall be published in the form of a uniform booklet. This booklet and other printed material issued by the Trustees will bear a Union Label. (3) To make determinations which shall be final and binding upon all parties as to the rights of any Employee and any beneficiary to benefits, including any rights any individual may have to request a hearing with respect to any determination. (4) To obtain and evaluate all statistical and actuarial data which may be reasonably required with respect to the administration of the Pension Plan, it being agreed that all information, records, lists of Employers and Employees, and all other data which may come into the hands of the Trustees are to be considered confidential and private records of the Trust Fund, and no information from such records, lists, or data shall be divulged by the Trustees, unless unanimously authorized by the Trustees. (5) To make reciprocal agreements with trustees administering other pension plans established by unions and employers, to provide for the reciprocal transfer of credited service and/or employer contributions between such other pension plans and this Pension Plan in the case of employees transferring their employment to such employers. (6) To make such other rules and regulations as may be necessary for the administration of the Pension Plan which are not inconsistent with the purpose of this Agreement and Declaration of Trust. C. Exercise all rights or privileges granted by the provisions of any contract entered into by the Trustees and any Insurance Company, and to agree with such Insurance Company to any alteration, modification, amendment, or cancellation of such contract, or to take any other action respecting such contract which they in their discretion may deem necessary or advisable. D. Enter into agreements, contracts, and other instruments for the deposit of funds with banks, trust companies, or other institutions which accept and hold moneys on deposit, and to authorize such depository to act as custodian of the funds, whether in cash or securities or other property. E. To decide all questions or controversies arising in any manner or between any parties or persons in connection with the Trust Fund or the operation thereof, whether as to any claim for any benefits made by any employees, or any person, or whether as to the construction of the language or meaning of the rules and regulations adopted by the Trustees or established by this instrument, or as to any writing, decisions, instrument, or accounts or otherwise, and the decisions of the Trustees, if made in good faith, shall be binding upon all persons dealing with the Trust Fund or claiming any benefits thereunder. F. To establish an office for the transaction of its business, including the right to lease or construct the premises in which the same is to be located, to be made known to the parties interested in the Trust Fund. At such office, there shall be maintained books and records pertaining to the Trust Fund and its administration. G. To enter into an Agreement with a Bank or Trust Company selected by the Trustees to act as depository for safekeeping of the assets of the Trust Fund.

Section 2. In addition to such other powers as are set forth herein or conferred by law, the Trustees shall have power and authority to:

A. Invest and reinvest the Trust Fund in such securities or property, real or personal, which may include but shall not be limited to common and preferred stocks, bonds, investment only type contracts, mortgages and other evidences of indebtedness or ownership, within or without the State of Illinois but within the continental limits of the United States, and without regard to any rule or statute of any state or sovereign body prescribing investments eligible for trust funds. Provided, however, nothing herein contained shall be construed to authorize the Trustees to acquire or hold an "employer security" or "employer property" as such terms are defined by ERISA. B. Exercise any voting rights, conversion privilege, subscription right or other right and privilege, including agreements with reference to reorganization, consolidation, merger and dissolution, readjustment of financial structure or sale of assets of any corporation or other organization, as owners of the securities or other obligations which form a part of the Trust Fund. C. Collect all interest, dividends, rents, issues, income and profit arising from the Trust Fund. D. Keep property purchased by the Trustees registered in the name of the Trustees or in the name of a nominee or nominees, as may be determined within the discretion of the Trustees. E.

F. Enter into any and all contracts and agreements carrying out the terms of this Agreement and Declaration of Trust and for the administration of the Trust Fund, and to do all acts as they, in their discretion, may deem necessary or advisable and such contracts, agreements, and acts shall be binding and conclusive on the Participating Unions, Associations, Employers and Employees and their beneficiaries. G. Do all acts, whether or not expressly authorized herein, which the Trustees deem necessary or proper for the protection of the Trust Fund held hereunder and their judgment shall be final. H. Charge, as an expense of the Trust Fund, Employer Contributions made by the Trustees on behalf of any of their Employees pursuant to the written agreement entered into by them, as hereinbefore provided.

It is recognized that failure to provide training opportunities for journeymen and apprentice, and the failure of these individuals to take advantage of these opportunities stands as a impediment to the competitiveness of the area's unionized construction industry. It is also acknowledged that training will have a discernable, positive effect upon productivity and quality for the industry. It is further noted that verifiable training offers a strong marketing concept for contractors, thereby enhancing employment opportunities for union labor. These concepts also promote pride and satisfaction in building tradesmen, which, in themselves, are marketable attributes. Management and labor therefore pledge to work towards the development of intensified, innovative training programs designed to improve quality, safety and productivity in a competitive environment. To this end, the unions may provide to employers current lists of those tradesmen that successfully complete upgrade training programs, including welder's certification, OSHA 10 hour, and Subpart R, Steel Erection, so that they will be naturally rewarded through increased work opportunities for reinvesting in their collective futures. It is further agreed that the unions will provide to management associations specific information on the scope of any journeyman upgrade training. Commencing with the first payroll following the effective date of this Agreement all EMPLOYERS agree to pay fifty-four cents ($.54) for each hour worked to the Iron Workers Local #112 Joint Apprentice Training and Retraining Committee, It is understood and agreed that the Trust Document and Apprenticeship Standards of the Iron Workers Local #112 Joint Apprentice Training and Retraining Committee, together with any amendments thereto, shall be considered a part of this Agreement as though set forth in its entirety. Apprentice Iron Workers shall be paid a percentage of journeyman scale as set forth below: First 1000 hours: 60% Fourth 1000 hours: 80% Second 1000 hours: 70% Fifth 1000 hours: 85% Third 1000 hours: 75% Sixth 1000 hours: 90% Employers party to this agreement, may employ apprentices at a ratio of one (1) apprentice to four (4) journeymen on the project. On ornamental work which is normally performed by two (2) Iron Workers, one (1) may be an apprentice. K. Bond Language — A surety or Certified Check in the full amount of bond required may be required of any Employer who was not signatory to the previous agreement or has been listed as a delinquent contributor by Health and Welfare and/or Pension Funds included in this agreement. In die event that any Employer, covered by this agreement, should become delinquent, such Employer shall be required to post a bond in the amount specified below, or at the union's option, provide a cash bond in the same amount. 1.) For one or two iron workers, the bond shall be $25,000.00 2.) For three to five iron workers, the bond shall be $50,000.00 3.) For six to twenty iron workers, the bond shall be $75,000.00 4.) For twenty-one or more iron workers, the bond shall be $100,000.00 Any disputes over the proper Wage and Fringe Benefit Bond shall not be subject to arbitration or the settlement of disputes provisions in the contract. Should any Employer who is properly bonded desire to employ more iron workers, the Employer shall increase the amount of its bond to cover such additional employees prior to the commencement of work. The officers of the employer who continues to employ iron workers without being properly bonded, shall be personally liable for any unpaid wages and benefits in the event the Employer does not pay its obligations under this agreement. The personal liability shall be limited to the amount the bond should have been as set forth above.

EXHIBIT E

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EASTERN DIVISION

IRON WORKERS' MID-AMERICA PENSION PLAN, et al., Plaintiffs, CIVIL ACTION vs. NO. 15 C 4936 HARLEY ERECTORS, INC., JUDGE THOMAS M. DURKIN an Illinois corporation, Defendant. AFFIDAVIT STATE OF ILLINOIS S.S. COUNTY OF COOK

CATHERINE M. CHAPMAN, being first duly sworn upon her oath, deposes and states:

1. I am one of the attorneys for the Plaintiffs in the above-entitled action, I have personal knowledge of the facts regarding this matter and the time expended in the prosecution of this action now pending in the United States District Court and, if called as a witness, I am competent to testify in respect thereto.

2. I and my associates have expended 18.00 hours in the prosecution of the above-entitled action, including the initial investigation and preparation of the Complaint and First Amended Complaint, telephone conversations with representatives of the Plaintiff Funds and general contractor, e-mail communications with Plaintiff Funds, review of the audit of Defendant's payroll books and records, preparation of correspondence to the Defendant, general contractor and Plaintiffs' process server, and preparing and filing of the instant motion for entry of default and judgment, including Affidavits in support thereof.

3. I and my associates routinely spend between three-quarters of an hour, to an hour and a half appearing for an in-court hearing on a motion for default judgment. Based on this experience, I estimate that the Funds will incur one (1) additional hour of attorneys' fees to appear for the hearing on the instant motion for default judgment.

4. I have in my possession a complete written record of the hours expended and costs incurred in the prosecution of this action in the form of client billing records which specify the various activities of Counsel required in the litigation of this matter and confirms the number of hours expended and costs incurred as set forth above.

5. The usual and normal hourly charges by Affiant's law firm for Federal Court litigation under the Labor-Management Relations Act and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 range from $70.00 to $93.00 per hour for paralegals, $165.00 to $205.00 per hour for associates and from $210.00 to $320.00 per hour for partners based on their level of experience.

6. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the rates charged per hour are less than or equal to the usual and customary rates charged by other law firms doing similar work in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

7. Plaintiffs have incurred costs related to the prosecution of this action consisting of $400.00 for their court filing fee and $50.00 to serve Defendant with the summons and complaint.

8. Section 502(g)(2) of the Employee Retirement income Security Act of 1974, as amended, 29 U.S.C. Section 1132(g)(2) provides that the Court must award a Plaintiff its costs and reasonable attorneys' fees:

In any action under this title by a fiduciary for or on behalf of a plan to enforce Section 515 in which a judgment in favor of the plan is awarded, the Court shall award the plan ... (D) reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of the action, to be paid by the defendant. ...

9. Furthermore, the Trust Agreements governing the Funds, and to which Defendant is bound, provide for payment by the Defendant of all costs of collection, including audit and attorneys' fees incurred by the Plaintiffs.

10. I make this Affidavit in support of the Plaintiffs' Motion for Entry of Default and Judgment and an award of Plaintiffs' costs totaling $450.00 and Plaintiffs' reasonable attorneys' fees in the sum of $3,906.00.

FURTHER AFFIANT SAYETH NOT.
