Upon information and belief, Defendant BRYN D BROWN is, and at all times relevant to this action has been, an individual resident of the State of Wyoming, with an address at 504 THOROUGHBRED LANE, CHEYENNE, Wyoming 82009. Defendant BRYN D BROWN, is referred to as the “Guarantor Defendant”. 2 of 12 FILED: NASSAU COUNTY CLERK 11/13/2023 09/26/2023 04:56 02:28 PM INDEX NO. 615553/2023 NYSCEF DOC. NO. 19 1 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 11/13/2023 09/26/2023 5. Upon information and belief, Guarantor Defendant is the owner, principal, and/or manager of Merchant Defendant. Jurisdiction and Venue 6. Jurisdiction and venue are proper in NASSAU County because the parties transacted the purchase of future receipts in New York and because Defendants agreed in the governing purchase agreement to submit to the jurisdiction of, and that venue is proper in, any court in the State of New York including without limitation, NASSAU County. Facts Common To All Causes of Action The Purchase Agreements 7. On or about December 22, 2022, Plaintiff and Merchant Defendant entered into a Future Receipts Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “December Agreement”) whereby Plaintiff agreed to buy all rights of Merchant Defendant’s, to certain future business receipts, having a face value of $48,965.00 (the “December Purchased Amount”), for the purchase price of $35,000.00, less disclosed and agreed upon closing costs (the “December Purchase Price”). 8. A true and accurate copy of the December Agreement is annexed hereto as Exhibit A. 9. Upon receiving the December Purchase Price, Merchant Defendant was obligated to remit to Plaintiff six percent (6%) of Merchant Defendant’s business receipts on each business day (the “December Specified Percentage”) until the December Purchased Amount was remitted to Plaintiff in full. 10. On or about February 22, 2023, Plaintiff and Merchant Defendant entered into a Future Receipts Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “February Agreement”) whereby Plaintiff agreed to buy all rights of Merchant Defendant’s, to certain future business receipts, having a face value of $69,950.00 (the “February Purchased Amount”), for the purchase price of $50,000.00 less disclosed and agreed upon closing costs (the “February Purchase Price”). 11. A true and accurate copy of the February Agreement is annexed hereto as Exhibit B. 3 of 12 FILED: NASSAU COUNTY CLERK 11/13/2023 09/26/2023 04:56 02:28 PM INDEX NO. 615553/2023 NYSCEF DOC. NO. 19 1 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 11/13/2023 09/26/2023 12. Upon receiving the February Purchase Price, Merchant Defendant was obligated to remit to Plaintiff twelve percent (12%) of Merchant Defendant’s business receipts on each business day (the “February Specified Percentage”) until the February Purchased Amount was remitted to Plaintiff in full. 13. Integral to the December Agreement and the February Agreement was Merchant Defendant’s exclusive use of one business account approved by Plaintiff (the “Account”) into which Merchant Defendant agreed to deposit all business receipts, and from which Plaintiff was authorized to ACH debit the December Specified Percentage and the February Specified Percentage pursuant to an ACH debit authorization executed by Merchant Defendant. 14. For ease of processing, Plaintiff and the Merchant Defendant estimated an amount that would be generated by the December Specified Percentage and the February Specified Percentage going forward, and which Plaintiff was authorized to ACH debit from the Account each business day (the “Remittance Amount”). 15. As the December Agreement and the February Agreement so state, the Remittance Amount was a good faith approximation of the December Specified Percentage and the February Specified Percentage, which ultimately controlled over the Remittance Amount. Merchant Defendant were given the right, subject to proper documentation and proof of financial condition and business receipts, to seek either a retroactive reconciliation or future adjustment of the Remittance Amount so as to align it and past and future remittances, with the December Specified Percentage and the February Specified Percentage. 16. As is relevant hereto, the December Agreement and the February Agreement provide, inter alia, that in the event Merchant Defendant failed to remit the December Specified Percentage and the February Specified Percentage, made any material misrepresentations or failed to honor any covenants in the December Agreement and the February Agreement, utilized a bank account for the 4 of 12 FILED: NASSAU COUNTY CLERK 11/13/2023 09/26/2023 04:56 02:28 PM INDEX NO. 615553/2023 NYSCEF DOC.

The December Agreement and the February Agreement state that if an Event of Default occurs, the full undelivered portion of the December Purchased Amount and the February Purchased Amount, along with legal fees incurred by Plaintiff, under the December Agreement and the February Agreement become immediately due and payable in full without further notice or cure period. The Personal Guaranty 18. The Guarantor Defendant executed a personal guaranty, guaranteeing Merchant Defendant’s performance under the December Agreement and the February Agreement (the “Personal Guaranty”). 19. The Personal Guaranty provides that if an Event of Default occurs, Plaintiff may enforce its rights and seek the remedies set forth under the December Agreement and the February Agreement against the Guarantor Defendant. Merchant Defendant Breached the December Agreement and the February Agreement 20. Plaintiff paid Merchant Defendant the December Purchase Price and the February Purchase Price for the December Purchased Amount and the February Purchased Amount of future receipts. 21. After receiving the December Purchase Price, Merchant Defendant remitted $20,460.62 in business receipts to Plaintiff. 5 of 12 FILED: NASSAU COUNTY CLERK 11/13/2023 09/26/2023 04:56 02:28 PM INDEX NO. 615553/2023 NYSCEF DOC.

On September 22, 2023 (the “Default Date”), Merchant Defendant breached the December Agreement and the February Agreement, thereby causing an Event of Default, by ceasing to remit the December Specified Percentage and the February Specified Percentage to Plaintiff, without ever demonstrating any right to a reconciliation or adjustment, or an excuse recognized under the December Agreement and the February Agreement for failing to perform. 24. No portion of the December Specified Percentage and the February Specified Percentage has been remitted after the Default Date. 25. A true and correct copy of the transaction history under the December Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit C. 26. A true and correct copy of the transaction history under the February Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit D. 27.
