COUNTERCLAIM FOR INTERPLEADER

1.

Defendant received the sum of $10,000.00 as a deposit from E.F.

2.

Plaintiff has demanded the payment of such deposit to him by virtue of an
assignment of it which he claims to have received from E.F.

3.

E.F. has notified the defendant that he claims such deposit, that the
purported assignment is not valid, and that he holds the defendant responsible
for the deposit.

Wherefore, defendant demands:

(1) That the court order E.F. to be made a party defendant to respond to
the complaint and to this counterclaim.

(2) That the court order the plaintiff and E.F. to interplead their
respective claims.

(3) That the court adjudge whether the plaintiff or E.F. is entitled to
the sum of money.

(4) That the court discharge defendant from all liability in the
premises except to the person it shall adjudge entitled to the sum of money.

(5) That the court award to the defendant its costs and attorney's fees.
