The Lease provided for Plaintiffs to lease the Property for an initial lease term 2 KLUuGER, KAPLAN, SILVERMAN, KATZEN & LEVINE, P.L., 201 SO.

On or about June 21, 2020, Plaintiffs and Khalil entered into an Addendum to the Lease (the “Addendum’”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “B.” 10.

Unbeknownst to Plaintiffs, Khalil appears to have sold or otherwise transferred the Property to M&S on or about November 20, 2020. 13. Plaintiffs timely exercised their right to extend the Lease beyond April 30, 2021 and provided notice to Khalil’s and M&S’ counsel. B. The Purchase and Sale Agreement 14. On January 29, 2021,! Plaintiffs and M&S entered into the Agreement, through which Plaintiffs contracted to purchase from M&S the improved real property located at real property located at 920 Jasmine Dr., Delray Beach, in Palm Beach County, Florida 33483 (the : The Agreemeni identifies january 25, 2021 as the Effective Date of the Agreemeni. See section paragraph 3(b)and 4 of the Agreement and the handwritten Effective Date therein. 3 KLuGER, KAPLAN, SILVERMAN, KATZEN & LEVINE, P.L., 201 SO. BISCAYNE BLYD., 27" FLOOR, M1AMI, FL 33131 305.379.9000“Property”. A copy of the Agreement is attached as Exhibit “C.”” 15. Plaintiffs agreed to purchase the Property (as more particularly described in the Agreement) for a purchase price of $1.5 million. See Ex. “C” at Section 2. 16. Plaintiffs were required to deposit into escrow the total sum of $150,000.00 against additional amount due under the Agreement payable in cash at closing. Jd. 17. The closing was scheduled to occur forty-five (45) days from the Effective Date — thus, the closing date was supposed to be on March 15, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). Id. at Section 4. 18. | The Agreement made clear that the remainder of the purchase price, exclusive of the deposit, was to be made through financing available to the Forers. Jd. at Section 8. The Forers timely obtained proper financing to close on the purchase of the Property, and timely advised M&S and its attorney of this fact in writing by letter dated March 1, 2021. Thus, the Forers satisfied their obligations pursuant to Section 8 of the Agreement. 19. In the event of default by M&S, Forers are permitted to seek damages or specific performance of the Agreement. /d. at Section 15(b). 20. The Agreement provides that in the event of any litigation between the parties under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.

In this regard, on March 2, 2021, M&S wrote to the Forers, falsely claiming that the Forers had not met the March 1, 2021 financing loan approval notification deadline, despite the fact that the Forers had indeed done so on March 1, 2021. a” Ths wast dow nA a KOnnaMatinn af On. 4. ALE HEAL Gay, ca a Valiccuaudn G1 UO copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “D,” in which M&S purports to cancel the Agreement. 24. Since receiving notification of M&S’ intentions to cancel the Agreement, the Forers, through counsel, have advised of their intention to close as intended and have otherwise disputed M&S’ baseless position. 25. The Forers have performed, and were otherwise ready, willing and able to perform, their obligations under the Agreement and to close on March 15, 2021, and have been ready, willing and able to close since then as well. 26. M&S has breached the Agreement, and failed to close on March 15, 2021, as required. As a result, M&S is in default of the Agreement and has breached its obligations thereunder. 27. Further, since M&S’ breach on or about March 15, 2021, Plaintiffs and M&S have engaged in negotiations with the hope that M&S would remedy its breach and satisfy its obligations to close by providing sufficient documentation to allow for M&S to property sign and notarize closing documents, as required. However, M&S has been unable to satisfy its obligations in this regard and has instead delayed the closing. Plaintiffs have incurred, and continue to incur, substantial additional fees for the delayed closing. 28, Pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Agreement, the Forers have requested that M&S voluntarily participate in the process of engaging in dispute resolution and mediation; however, as 5 KLUGER, KAPLAN, SILVERMAN, KATZEN & LEVINE, P.L., 201 SO. BISCAYNE BLYD., 27" FLOOR, M1AMI, FL 33131 305.379.9000of the date of filing the instant Amended Complaint, no agreement has been reached between the Forers and M&S to mediate, no date has been scheduled for mediation, nor is it clear at this point whether M&S is waiving mediation based upon its actions. 29. In sum, M&S failed and refuses to timely consummate the transaction in accordance with the Asreement and refuses to honor its obligations under the Agreement, D. The Landlord Breached the Lease Agreement and Addendum 30. As alleged above, Khalil appears to have sold or transferred the Property to M&S on or about November 20, 2020 without first offering the Plaintiffs the option to purchase the Property for the same amount Khalil sold to M&S ($10). Khalil’s actions in this regard constitute a breach of the Lease and Addendum. 31. Further, while it is unclear whether Khalil or M&S remained as the landlord after Noveiiver 20, 2020, Kiialit aiid Mocs Have taKeii Mie PositiGA tat Me’S iGOK OVE aS tie landlord for the Property at a certain point, and Plaintiffs have timely made their rent payments to M&S after Khalil requested they do so. 32. At all times material, Khalil held himself out as the sole agent and authorized representative of M&S. Khalil never advised Plaintiffs of any other members of M&S, nor did he advise that he lacked authority to bind M&S. Indeed, Khalil always acted as M&S’ representative in all capacities, including collecting rent from Plaintiffs and signing the Agiceingit. 33. Moreover, while Plaintiffs and M&S were discussing a potential resolution of M&S’ breach in order to close the sale of the Property, the parties agreed that Plaintiffs’ rent payment for April 2021 would be deducted at closing from the sale proceeds. However, while M&S delayed the closing and failed to satisfy its obligations to close, and while the parties 6 KLUGER, KAPLAN, SILVERMAN, KATZEN & LEVINE, P.L., 201 SO. BISCAYNE BLYD., 27" FLOOR, M1AMI, FL 33131 305.379.9000continued to negotiate a potential resolution, M&S had the audacity to demand that Plaintiffs immediately pay April rent plus certain unsubstantiated and incorrect “late fees” to M&S. 34. | When Plaintiffs reminded M&S, through counsel, of the above arrangement concerning April rent being deducted at closing, M&S nonetheless demanded immediate navment. peg 35. Because the payment of April rent is disputed, Plaintiffs offered to pay April rent to M&S’ counsel to hold in escrow pending the resolution of the pending sale issues and dispute. M&S’ counsel refused. 36. Therefore, Plaintiffs have no other alternative but to pay April rent into the Court registry to hold until the outcome of this case. Based upon the facts of this case, it would be inequitable for M&S to keep April rent without providing the appropriate credit toward the wal p Of ue Pi to Plaintiffs as of March 15, 2021. 37. All conditions precedent to this action have occurred, been performed, or otherwise satisfied by Plaintiffs, or have been waived or excused by the actions or inactions of Defendant. 38. Plaintiffs have retained the undersigned counsel to represent them in this action and are obligated to pay undersigned counsel reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs for its services. COUNTI PECIFIC PERFORMANCE/INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 39. Plaintiffs adopt and reallege the allegations set forth in Paragraphs 1-38 above as if fully set forth herein, and further allege as follows: 40. This is an action against M&S for specific performance and injunctive relief. 41. — The Agreement is a valid, enforceable contract, which is binding on Defendant. 7 KLuGER, KAPLAN, SILVERMAN, KATZEN & LEVINE, P.L., 201 SO. BISCAYNE BLYD., 27" FLOOR, M1AMI, FL 33131 305.379.900042. The Agreement is clear, definite, and certain in all of its essential elements. 43.

Defendant M&S otherwise refuses to honor its obligations under the Agreement. 46. — Section 15(b) of the Agreement allows Plaintiffs to proceed in equity in this Court to enforce their rights under the Agreement, including specific performance and damages. 47. Plaintiff has no adequate remedy at law because, among other things, the Property is unique and specific performance must be compelled, requiring M&S to complete the sale of the Property to Plaintiffs. 48. Moreover, Plaintiffs request that this Court enjoin M&S from selling, transferring, mortgaging, compromising, wasting, or otherwise burdening the subject Property, or taking any action which might otherwise prevent Plaintiffs from acquiring clear marketable title to the Property, with the Property to be preserved in its present condition. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs demand that judgment be entered against Defendant, M&S, in which the Court (a) orders Defendant M&S to specifically perform under the Agreement, (b) awards Plaintiffs their attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in this action in accordance with the Agreement, (c) in the absence of M&S’ compliance with the Court’s order that it specifically perform under the Agreement, enjoin M&S from selling, transferring, mortgaging, compromising, wasting, or otherwise burdening the subiect Property, or taking any action which might otherwise prevent Plaintiffs from acquiring clear marketable title to the Property, 8 KLuGER, KAPLAN, SILVERMAN, KATZEN & LEVINE, P.L., 201 SO.

This is an action against M&S for Breach of Contract. un This Claim iS asserted if the altemative to Count 1 52. | The Agreement is a valid, enforceable contract, which is binding on Defendant. 53. Defendant M&S breached the material terms of the Agreement by canceling and indicating its intention to refuse to close the transaction to purchase the Property on March 15, 2021, as required. As a result, Plaintiffs are entitled to the remedies set forth in Section 15(b) of the Agreement. 54. Plaintiffs have suffered, and continue to suffer, damages as a direct and proximate result of Defendant’s breach of contract. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs demand that judgment be entered against Defendant, M&S, for damages, attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in accordance with the Agreement, interest, and such other and further relief in favor of Plaintiffs as this Court deems just and proper. COUNT II BREACH OF CONTRACT (Lease and Addendum) 55. Plaintiffs adopt and reallege the allegations set forth in Paragraphs 1-38 above as if fully set forth herein, and further allege as follows: 9 KLUGER, KAPLAN, SILVERMAN, KATZEN & LEVINE, P.L., 201 SO. BISCAYNE BLYD., 27" FLOOR, M1AMI, FL 33131 305.379.900056. — This is an action against Khalil and M&S for breach of the Lease and Addendum. 57.

Plaintiffs have suffered, and continue to suffer, damages as a direct and proximate result of Defendants’ breaches of contract. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs demand that judgment be entered against Defendants, Khalil and M&S, for damages, attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in accordance with the Lease, interest, and such other and further relief in favor of Plaintiffs as this Court deems just and proper. COUNT IV ACTION TO PIERCE THE CORPORATE VEIL 60. Plaintiffs adopt and reallege the allegations set forth in Paragraphs 1-38 above as if fully set forth herein, and further allege as follows: 61.

Accordingly, M&S is an alter ego of Khalil. 65. | M&S’ breaches of the Agreement and the Lease and Addendum are therefore imputed to Khalil. 66. Khalil used M&S for the fraudulent improper purpose of transferring the Property to shield this asset from creditors and for other improper purposes. 67. The fraudulent and improper purpose of M&S caused injury to Plaintiffs. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request that judgment be entered in their favor piercing the corporate veil of M&S and holding Khalil personally liable for M&S’ breaches of the Agreement, and, as applicable, the Lease and Addendum, and all injunctions, monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and costs awarded against M&S in this action, and any other such relief that this Court deems just and proper.
