IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that Judgment by default be, and hereby is, entered in favor of Plaintiff PNC Equipment Finance, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, successor to PNCEF, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company, fka National City Commercial Capital Company, LLC and against Defendants, Asian American Bus, Inc., Asian American Tourist, Inc., Harry Kwan and Tie Min Zhung, jointly and severally, in the amount of $105,933.45, plus interest at the rate of 8.7% per annum from October 20, 2011, attorneys' fees of $1,521.86 and costs.
