FIRST AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE
AS AND FOR A FIRST, SEPARATE AND DISTINCT DEFENSE, DEFENDANT ALLEGES:
That plaintiff was itself negligent and careless in and about the matters and events set forth in the
complaint, and that said negligence contributed to its alleged injuries and/or damages. A verdict of the
jury in favor of plaintiff, if any, which may be rendered in this case must therefore be reduced by the
percentage that plaintiff's negligence contributed to the accident and injuries complained of, if any there
were.

SECOND AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

AS AND FOR A SECOND, SEPARATE AND DISTINCT DEFENSE, DEFENDANT
ALLEGES:

That the first and second causes of action do not state facts sufficient to constitute causes of
action against this answering defendant.

THIRD AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

AS AND FOR A THIRD, SEPARATE AND DISTINCT DEFENSE, DEFENDANT ALLEGES:
Plaintiff's first and second causes of action are barred by reason of the provisions of California
Code of Civil Procedure sections 335.1, 337, 337.1, 338, 339, 340, and 343.
FOURTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE
AS AND FOR A FOURTH, SEPARATE AND DISTINCT DEFENSE, DEFENDANT
ALLEGES:
Plaintiff failed to mitigate its damages.

FIFTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

AS AND FOR A FIFTH, SEPARATE AND DISTINCT DEFENSE, DEFENDANT ALLEGES:
Defendant is informed and believes that the complaint and each cause of action thereof is barred
by the doctrines of laches, unclean hands, waiver and estoppel.
