                           AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES

         Defendant/Third-Party Plaintiff, DON KING’S CONCRETE, INC. (“Don King’s”), by

and through its undersigned            counsel of record, and pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil

Procedure     1.100,     hereby    replies   to Third-Party         Defendant,   ATLANTIC   CONCRETE

SYSTEMS, INC.’s (“Atlantic”) Answer and Affirmative Defenses to Don King’s Third-Party

Complaint (“Affirmative Defenses”), and as grounds states:
1
               On August 24, 2021,        Atlantic filed its Answer    and Affirmative Defenses to

Don King’s Third-Party Complaint.

       2       In    its Answer,   CSS    has   attempted     to assert    thirty-nine   (39)   separate

Affirmative Defenses.

       3       Don     King’s   denies   each   and   every   very such    affirmative   defense,    and

demands proof thereof.

       4       Don King’s denies the allegations of Atlantic’s Affirmative Defenses in that

they do not allege a factual or legal basis to establish an avoidance of culpability or liability

for those claims asserted against Atlantic within Don King’s Third-Party Complaint.                 Don

King’s demands strict proof of Atlantic’s Affirmative Defenses, and reserves any and all

arguments that could be utilized to defeat the Affirmative Defenses.
