2. In May of 2007, the Plaintiffs, RPA Marketing, Inc., and Roger W.

Prall, entered into a contract with the Defendants, LongBranch Partners, LLC,

LongBranch Foods, LLC, and Jeff Fudge, whereby the Plaintiffs agreed to promote,

market, and sell various products, most, if not all, of which were produced by CCDA

Waters, LLC, on behalf of said Defendants. In return for promoting, marketing, and

selling sixty thousand (60,000) cases of VASA labeled water, the Defendants agreed to

pay unto the Plaintiffs the sum of ten cents (.10) for each case of water sold. As for all

other products sold, the Defendants agreed to pay unto the Plaintiffs a commission in

the amount of three percent (3%) of all monies derived from the sale of such products.

3. Pursuant to the terms of the subject contract, the Plaintiffs promoted,

marketed, and sold numerous products on behalf of the Defendants. Customers

included, but are not limited to, Dollar Tree and Family Dollar. Although many sold

products have thus far been delivered, many products remain to be delivered

throughout the 2008 calendar year.

4. To date, the Defendants have failed or refused to compensate the

Plaintiffs for all earned commissions, conservatively estimated to be in the approximate

amount of $280,000, resulting in a breach of the subject contract. In addition, the

Plaintiffs assert that the Defendants engaged in misrepresentation and fraud, as

evidenced by their failure to remit all monies due to the Plaintiffs.

5. The Plaintiffs assert that the Defendants published defamatory statements

about or concerning said Plaintiffs. As a result, the Defendants are liable to the

Plaintiffs under the tort theories of injurious falsehood, intentional interference with

prospective business relations, and/or defamation.

6. As a direct and proximate result of such improper conduct, the Plaintiffs

suffered, and continue to suffer from, a loss of income, loss of business opportunity,

emotional and mental distress, and harm to reputation.

7. At all times, the Defendants, LongBranch Partners, LLC, LongBranch

Foods, LLC, and Jeff Fudge, acted as actual, implied, or apparent agents for the

Defendant, CCDA Waters, LLC. Accordingly, CCDA Waters, LLC, is vicariously liable

for all improper actions mentioned herein.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Plaintiffs, RPA Marketing, Inc,,

and Roger W. Prall, demand judgment of and from LongBranch Partners, LLC,

LongBranch Foods, LLC, Jeff Fudge, and CCDA Waters, LLC, jointly and severally, in

the amount of $1,000,000 for actual damages, plus punitive damages in the amount of

$1,000,000, along with attorney fees, interest and costs of court.
