Lucatuorto, Deputy SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA 10 IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF PLACER 11 12 CLARK’S CORNER INVESTMENTS, LLC, | Case No. SCV0044290 d/b/a CLARK’S CORNER INVESTMENTS 13 DECLARATION OF KRAIG CLARK IN Plaintiff, SUPPORT OF OPPOSITION TO V. DEFENDANT FARID 14 TO VACATE JUDGMENT DIBACHI’S ON MOTION SISTER- 15 JLM FINANCIAL INC., d/b/a JUM STATE JUDGMENT FINANCIAL, and FARID DIBACHI 16 Date: March 26, 2020 Defendants. Time: 8:30 a.m. 17 Dept.: 42 18 19 BY FAX 20 I,KRAIG CLARK, declare as follows: 21 l. I am an individual currently residing in Sacramento County, California. The matters 22 set forth herein are based upon my own personal knowledge and observation, except as to those 23 matters which are explicitly state to be based upon information and belief, and as to those matters, I 24 believe them to be true. Ifcalled upon to testify as to the matters set forth herein, |could and would 25 competently testify thereto. 26 hs I am the sole owner and principal of Clark’s Corner Investments, LLC, a position I 27 have held since January 2010. I have been an owner and principal of Clark’s Corner Investments, 28 LLC since itsinception. Farid Dibachi has never been a member or principal of Clark’s Corner DECLARATION OF KRAIG CLARK IN SUPPORT OF OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT FARID DIBACHI’S MOTION TO VACATE JUDGMENT ON SISTER-STATE JUDGMENT Investments, LLC. 3 On April 20, 2018, Iand my co-owner in JLM Energy, Inc. and JLM Financial, Inc., Farid Dibachi, were required to sign an agreement with Yellowstone Capital West, LLC on behalf of JLM Energy, Inc. Per the terms of this agreement, JLM would receive three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) ostensibly in exchange for fifteen percent (15%) of JLM Energy, Inc’s accounts receivable. Also, per the terms of the agreement, JUM Energy, Inc. was required to make daily coclmlUNUOUlUlCUCUCOOOUCUMNSNCUDN payments out of a specified bank account, with Yellowstone not responsible for overdrafts or other problems. This loan was secured by a blanket security interest in all JUM Energy, Inc.’s assets. Attached as Exhibit A is atrue and correct copy of the “Secured Merchant Agreement” Farid Dibachi and |signed on behalf of JUM Energy, Inc. 11 4. In addition to thissecurity interest in JLM’s assets, Yellowstone required me and Farid 12 Dibachi to guarantee the professed obligation. The guarantee also purports to provide a blanket 13 security interest in assets of a business of mine, Clark’s Corner Investments, LLC that isunrelated to 14 JLM. 15 5. On information and belief, in early to mid 2018, JUM Energy, Inc. could no longer 16 afford the fixed payments Yellowstone had imposed and was unable to make said payment. 17 Yellowstone procured an Affidavit of Confession of Judgment from both me and Farid Dibachi. 18 6. On or about January 28, 2019 Ibecame aware that Yellowstone was pursuing me, 19 JLM, Escreenlogic, Inc., and Clark’s Corner for amoney judgment under the Secured Merchant 20 Agreement and Affidavit of Confession of Judgment in both New York (Index No. 119001-2018, 21 Ontario County) and California (Case No. 34-2018-00246134, Sacramento County). I subsequently 22 retained Parker Law Group to assist me in resolving the action. On information and belief, Farid 23 Dibachi was not named inthese actions and judgments because of a clerical error. 24 i On June 19, 2019 I settled the matter as to my entities (Clark’s Corner, Escreenlogic) 25 and myself. As part of this settlement, Yellowstone assigned all itsright, title,interest, and claims 26 under the (1) Secured Merchant Agreement, (2) New York Confession of Judgment, (3) the New 27 York Affidavit of Confession of Judgment, and (4) any California judgment. Attached as Exhibit B 28 isa true and correct copy of the settlement and assignment DECLARATION OF KRAIG CLARK IN SUPPORT OF OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT FARID DIBACHI’S MOTION TO VACATE JUDGMENT ON SISTER-STATE JUDGMENT I declare under the penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing 1s true and correct.
