1 aggressive litigation tactics of Singer. As more fully described in a separate complaint filed by jointly
2 administered debtor and affiliate MJW Films, LLC (“MJW” and together with J Wick, “Debtors”),
3 Singer, despite holding no direct legitimate claim against J Wick, has sued J Wick and various
4 defendants in litigation in California with the single aim of stepping over the priorities and interests of
5 the creditors of MJW and J Wick by attaching revenues due to J Wick. There are multiple claimants
6 and beneficial claimants on this fund, all of whom have superior rights to Singer. This litigation is
7 brought to ensure that no single creditor can usurp relative debt priorities and misappropriate assets
8 for his personal benefit.
9 BACKGROUND OF J WICK’S INDIRECT RELATIONSHIP WITH SINGER
10 1. MJW was formed to produce quality movies. Its work is sometimes completed
3636 North Central Avenue, Suite 700
11 through specific subsidiaries formed for each discrete project in light of discrete investors, talent, and
Phoenix, Arizona 85012
12 distribution agreements.
13 2. MJW formed J Wick, for the financing and production of what would eventually
14 become the hit film John Wick, a film starring Keanu Reeves that was received positively by
15 audiences and critics alike.
16 3. MJW holds only a 50% ownership interest in J Wick.
17 4. The remaining 50% ownership interest in J Wick is held by arms-length, non-bankrupt
18 Michigan investor, Sam X. Eyde.
19 5. Mr. Eyde received his 50% interest in exchange for guaranteeing an approximately
20 $7,000,000 loan, which was required to complete John Wick and render it as a marketable
21 commercial film.
22 6. In 2014, MJW ran short of operating cash for one of its projects.
23 7. To resolve its short term cash needs, MJW turned to Singer, a hard-money lender in
24 the movie industry for a short-term loan of $235,000.00 (the “Singer Loan”).
25 8. Singer has thereafter used all his means to leverage the relatively small $235,000
26 unsecured Singer Loan to MJW into an alleged secured claim of more than $2.3 million against not
27 only MJW, but also J Wick (MJW has separately filed for relief from Singer’s actions against its
{0005905.0001/00937085.DOCX / }
2
1 respective assets).
2 9. As part and parcel of his attempt to leverage a settlement, Singer has tried to extend his
3 claims against MJW to J Wick, as if they were the same entity, despite the fact that J Wick has
4 different and distinct shareholders, creditors and obligations.
5 10. Singer has sought to exercise considerable pressure (as a self-described “multi-centric
6 millionaire” litigant holding a relatively unlimited war chest) against the financially strapped Debtors
7 to extract concessions from them and extraordinary relief through litigation before the California
8 Superior Court, County of Los Angeles (the “California Court”).
9 11. On information and belief, Singer is motivated by ill-will toward one of the principals
10 of MJW (which he has indiscriminately imputed to J Wick, other affiliates of MJW, and all of their
11 creditors and investors). Singer’s aim is to strip J Wick and its legitimate creditors and interest
12 holders from realizing recovery from revenues that are otherwise due to J Wick from the revenues of
13 the film John Wick.
14 12. Singer sought and continues to seek to assert his advantage in a “race to the
15 courthouse” against all other creditors and equity holders in contravention of the fair and equitable
16 requirements of the distribution priorities under the Bankruptcy Code and applicable law.
17 13. In light of the foregoing, this adversary proceeding prays for: (1) turn over of monies
18 held constructively by Singer pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 541 and 542; (2) avoidance and recovery
19 for the benefit of its estate of any inchoate liens and interests Singer may claim as to the assets of J
20 Wick pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 544 et seq., 547 and 550; (3) determination of the extent, validity, and
21 priority of Singer’s claims against J Wick and its estate assets; and (4) equitable subordination of
22 Singer’s alleged claim, in whole or in part.
23 14. This adversary proceeding serves as an objection to Singer’s claim as scheduled on J
24 Wick’s bankruptcy schedules as well as any subsequent proof of claim that may be filed by Singer.
25 PARTIES, JURISDICTION, AND VENUE
26 15. On October 22, 2018 (the “Petition Date”), J Wick filed a voluntary petition for relief
27 under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). Since the Petition Date, J
{0005905.0001/00937085.DOCX / }
3
1 Wick has remained in possession of its assets (except those improperly distrained by and at the behest
2 of Singer) and continues to operate its businesses as a debtor-in-possession in accordance with
3 11 U.S.C. §§ 1107 and 1108. J Wick has all of the rights and powers of a trustee in bankruptcy
4 pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1107(a).
5 16. J Wick is a Delaware limited liability company registered to do business in Arizona as
6 a foreign entity with the Arizona Corporation Commission and with its principal place of business in
7 Gilbert, Arizona.
8 17. Singer is an individual residing in the state of California.
9 18. Singer loaned monies to MJW and asserted claims against J Wick prior to the Petition
10 Date.
11 19. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157(b) and 1334
12 (a) and (b).
13 20. This adversary proceeding constitutes a core proceeding within the meaning of
14 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(A), (B), (E), (F), (G), (H), (K) & (O). J Wick consents to final judgment by
15 the United States Bankruptcy Court as to the matters raised herein.
16 21. Singer asserts an invalid and/or avoidable secured claim against, among other things, J
17 Wick’s income stream from John Wick, which constitutes property of J Wick’s bankruptcy estate.
18 22. This Complaint arises under Chapter 5 of Title 11 of the United States Code,
19 specifically 11 U.S.C. §§ 502, 506(d), 541, 542, 544, 547, and 550.
20 23. Resolving these causes of action is a necessary step in the allowance or disallowance
21 of Singer’s claims, determining the validity of any asserted liens, and formulating equitable
22 distribution among all creditors.
23 24. J Wick’s reorganization case is properly venued in the Phoenix Division of the United
24 States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona. As such, venue is proper for this Adversary.
25 BACKGROUND ALLEGATIONS COMMON TO ALL COUNTS
26 25. In approximately July of 2013, Mike Witherill (“Witherill”) and John Glassgow
27 (“Glassgow”) formed MJW with Witherill serving as its Chief Operating Officer and Glassgow as its
{0005905.0001/00937085.DOCX / }
4
1 Chief Financial Officer. MJW was formed to produce motion pictures.
2 26. In 2013, MJW caused J Wick to be formed in order to produce John Wick.
3 27. While John Wick was in production, MJW and certain others separately formed an
4 entity called Stuck Productions, LLC (“Stuck Productions”), an entity formed to produce a film called
5 Stuck.
6 28. The film Stuck was primarily produced on a budget financed by third party loans to
7 Stuck Productions with MJW as co-borrower or guarantor. Stuck was filmed in 2014 after primary
8 production of John Wick, and wrapped production just prior to the John Wick release.
9 29. During the production of Stuck, MJW and Stuck Productions experienced a series of
10 financial setbacks including a shortfall in funding at the very end of Stuck’s production which
11 threatened Stuck Productions’ ability to make union production payroll that could potentially shut-
12 down filming.
13 30. MJW bridged Stuck’s financial gap by undertaking the Singer Loan for the benefit of
14 Stuck Productions.
15 31. True and correct copies of the Singer Loan documents are attached hereto collectively
16 as Exhibit A.
17 32. Witherill guaranteed the Singer Loan.
18 33. MJW subsequently defaulted under the terms of the Singer Loan.
19 34. On October 7, 2014, Singer sued MJW and Witherill in the California Court in a case
20 styled as Singer v. MJW Films, LLC, et al, Case No. BC559972 (the “Singer Judgment Action”) in
21 order to collect the Singer Loan from MJW and Witherill.
22 35. On information and belief, on or after October 22, 2014, the parties exchanged
23 signatures to a Settlement Agreement dated October 10, 2014 (“Singer Settlement Agreement”)
24 pursuant to which MJW and Witherill jointly agreed to pay a total settlement sum of $700,000 to
25 Singer in order to satisfy MJW’s and Witherill’s obligations for the Singer Loan and an additional
26 approximately $1.44 million of claims alleged by Singer against Witherill arising in connection with a
27 prior film project that did not involve MJW (the “Singer H&W Claims”).
{0005905.0001/00937085.DOCX / }
5
1 36. A true and correct copy of the Singer Settlement Agreement is attached hereto as
2 Exhibit B.
3 37. The Singer Settlement Agreement further required MJW and Witherill to execute and
4 deliver a “pocket judgment” to Singer providing for a judgment against both MJW and Witherill in
5 favor of Singer in the collective amount of $2 million (the “Singer Judgment”) that Singer was
6 entitled to lodge with the California Court upon default by MJW and Witherill under the terms of the
7 Singer Settlement Agreement.
8 38. MJW and Witherill were unable to timely raise the funds necessary to satisfy their
9 obligations under the Singer Settlement agreement and Singer subsequently lodged and obtained
10 entry of the Singer Judgment on November 7, 2014.

11 39. A true and correct copy of the Singer Judgment is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
12 40. On December 27, 2016, Singer subsequently filed a complaint (the “Singer
13 Complaint”) to initiate a supplemental proceeding before the California Court in a case styled as
14 Singer v. MJW Films, LLC, et al, Case No. BC 644917 (the “Singer Enforcement Action”) against
15 MJW, Witherill, and certain third parties including, among others, J Wick, Freeway CAMA B.V., and
16 Freeway Entertainment Group B.V. (collectively, “Freeway”). A true and correct copy of the Singer
17 Complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit D.
18 41. Through the Singer Enforcement Action, Singer sought to enforce the Singer
19 Judgment and, among other things, directly and improperly reach John Wick’s revenues payable
20 directly to J Wick under that certain Collection Account and Management Agreement (“CAMA”)
21 between and among J Wick, and certain third parties involved in the production of John Wick.
22 42. The CAMA is consistent with common practice in the film industry, under which a
23 third party collection and payment agent is retained to collect and distribute proceeds of a film to the
24 various persons and entities that are entitled to share in the income stream.
25 43. In response to Singer’s efforts in the Singer Enforcement Action, Freeway filed a
26 cross-complaint for interpleader and has subsequently deposited approximately $1.754 million with
27 the California Court (the “Interpleader Funds”)
{0005905.0001/00937085.DOCX / }
6
1 44. There are additional funds in the CAMA in which J Wick holds an interest, which are
2 subject to claims of other creditors and interest holders, and additional funds will continue to be
3 deposited in the CAMA for the benefit of J Wick, as additional royalties and other payments due are
4 received.
5 45. On or about September 19, 2018, Scott Weisenberger, a creditor of J Wick, sought to
6 intervene in the Singer Enforcement Action in order to protect his interests in the Interpleader Funds.
7 46. On October 17, 2018, the California Court issued a minute entry (the “Weisenberger
8 Order”) denying Weisenberger’s request to intervene. A true and correct copy of the Weisenberger
9 Order is attached hereto as Exhibit E.
10 47. The California Court indicated in denying the intervention request that, among other
11 things, that “[t]his court is not a bankruptcy court.” See Exhibit E.

12 48. As of the entry of the Weisenberger Order, the California Court had under advisement
13 a form of order lodged by Singer pursuant to which the California Court was to order the foreclosure
14 sale of MJW’s interests in J Wick.
15 49. As of the Petition Date, the California Court’s docket for the Singer Enforcement
16 Action did not reflect entry of the under advisement order.
17 50. As of the Petition Date, the Singer Enforcement Action was stayed with respect to the
18 Debtors and the property of their bankruptcy estates.
19 51. Following the Petition Date, counsel for Singer served a form of order of foreclosure
20 purportedly entered by the California Court on or about October 18, 2018 ordering the sale of MJW’s
21 interests in J Wick (the “Foreclosure Procedure Order”).
22 52. The property of J Wick’s bankruptcy estate includes, among other things, its interests
23 in the Interpleader Funds.
24 53. On information and belief, Singer asserts an interest in the Interpleader Funds.
25 54. On information and belief, Singer asserts a claim against J Wick of more than $2.3
26 million.
27 55. J Wick objects to any claim by Singer as to J Wick and its estate and requests
{0005905.0001/00937085.DOCX / }
7
1 disallowance of the same.
2 56. Some or all of the Singer Judgment is avoidable pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 544(b) and
3 A.R.S. § 44-1001 et seq. MJW has separately filed an adversary proceeding to avoid its obligations
4 to Singer under the Singer Judgment.
5 COUNT I
Injunctive Relief to Compel Turnover of Interpleader Funds
6 Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 541, and 542 and Enforce Automatic Stay.
7 57. J Wick incorporates by reference the allegations set forth in the preceding paragraphs
8 as if fully restated herein.
9 58. In the Singer Complaint, Singer asserts eight counts against all named defendants,
10 including MJW and J Wick: (1) seeking garnishment as to Freeway and J Wick to attach obligations
11 of such parties to MJW; (2) accounting by all defendants as to monies owed to MJW and Witherill;
12 (3) imposing a constructive trust on any property, rents, issues or profits in the possession of the
13 defendants that directly or indirectly belong to MJW or Witherill (defined by Singer as “Funds”); (4)
14 conversion claims against defendants in connection with allegedly improper disbursements of CAMA
15 funds by Freeway in 2016; (5) injunctive relief determining that Singer may execute upon the Funds;
16 (6) claims for fraud and deceit in the handling of the Funds; (7) fraudulent transfer claims seeking to
17 avoid and recover Funds as actually and constructively fraudulent; and (8) unjust enrichment claims
18 for defendants’ collective failure to turn over the Funds to Singer.
19 59. Singer’s prosecution of claims against Freeway resulted in Freeway depositing the
20 Interpleader Funds with the California Court.
21 60. Singer’s actions have deprived J Wick of its rightful use and access of and to the
22 Interpleader Funds.
23 61. J Wick has separate and discrete interest holders from those in MJW, all of whom are
24 entitled to have their claims paid in accordance with the relative bankruptcy priorities of their interest,
25 and all of whom will be prejudiced if the Singer Enforcement Action is permitted to improperly
26 distrain funds payable to J Wick.
27 62. Other than J Wick, none of the defendants in the Singer Enforcement Action claim an
{0005905.0001/00937085.DOCX / }
8
1 interest in the Interpleader Funds.
2 63. As a result of the Singer Enforcement Action, Singer is constructively holding the
3 Interpleader Funds.
4 64. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 541 and 542 Singer is required to cooperate with the turnover
5 of the Interpleader Funds to J Wick for the benefit of its bankruptcy estate.
6 65. On information and belief, Singer refuses to cooperate with the turnover of the
7 Interpleader Funds to J Wick, which are property of the J Wick estate, in violation of the automatic
8 stay under 11 U.S.C. §362.
9 WHERFORE, J Wick requests that this Court enter judgment in its favor and against Singer
10 on Count I granting injunctive relief (i) determining that the Interpleader Funds and all future
11 revenues payable to J Wick under the CAMA comprise assets of the J Wick’s bankruptcy estate; (ii)
12 compelling Singer to cooperate with the turnover of the Interpleader Funds 1; and (iii) awarding J
13 Wick appropriate damages for Singer’s willful violation of the automatic stay.
14 COUNT II
Avoidance of and Recovery of Preferential Transfer and Exercise of Strong-Arm Powers
15 Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 544 et. Seq., 547 and 550
17 as if fully set forth herein.
18 67. The Foreclosure Procedure Order is alleged to have been entered on October 18, 2018,
19 within ninety days prior to the Petition Date. 2
20 68. Singer purported to be a creditor of J Wick at the time of the entry of the Foreclosure
21 Procedure Order.
22 69. On information and belief, Singer alleges that the Foreclosure Procedure Order
23 resulted in an inchoate lien in favor of Singer as to MJW’s 50% interest in J Wick and the revenues
24 1
On information and belief, the California Court will abide by an order of this Court requiring
turnover of funds in its registry to this Court’s registry or to J Wick as debtor-in-possession as may be
25
ordered. Debtors reserve the right to seek process as to the California Court as a nominal party or a
26 “custodian” of such interpleaded funds.
2
In the event it is determined that the Foreclosure Procedure Order was entered after the Petition Date
27 nunc pro tunc, MJW reserves its right to pursue avoidance of the order pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 549.
{0005905.0001/00937085.DOCX / }
9
1 from John Wick otherwise payable to J Wick under the CAMA (the “Lien Transfer”).
2 70. The Lien Transfer was made to or for the benefit of Singer, within the meaning of
3 11 U.S.C. § 547(b)(1), because the Lien Transfer purportedly arose on account of an antecedent debt
4 then allegedly owed by J Wick to Singer.
5 71. J Wick is presumed to have been insolvent at the time of the Lien Transfer pursuant to
6 11 U.S.C. § 547(f).
7 72. The Lien Transfer, if maintained, would enable Singer to receive more on account of
8 antecedent debts owed by J Wick than Singer would have received if, as of the date of the Lien
9 Transfer, J Wick had commenced a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Lien Transfer
10 had not been made, and Singer received payment on account of the corresponding antecedent debt to
11 the extent provided by the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

12 73. To the extent any lien or inchoate lien has been granted to or for the benefit of Singer
13 as to his claims, such lien is inferior to that of J Wick as debtor-in-possession under § 544 of the
14 Bankruptcy Code.
15 WHEREFORE, J Wick requests that this Court enter judgment in its favor and against
16 Singer on Count II as follows: (i) declaring that the Lien Transfer is an avoidable preference
17 pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 547(b); (ii) declaring that J Wick may recover the Lien Transfer from Singer
18 pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 550 for the benefit of its estate; (iii) declaring that any lien or inchoate lien
19 that has been granted to or for the benefit of Singer as to his claims is inferior to that of J Wick as
20 debtor-in-possession under § 544 of the Bankruptcy Code; and (iv) granting such other and further
21 relief as the Court deems just and equitable.
22 COUNT III
Objection to Singer’s Alleged Claim and Request for Determination
23 of the Extent, Validity of any Lien and Allowance of Claim
25 as if fully restated herein.
26 75. Singer alleges a claim against J Wick in an amount that exceeds $2.3 million (the
27 “Singer Alleged Claim”).
{0005905.0001/00937085.DOCX / }
10
1 76. Singer alleges an interest in, among other property of the estate, the Interpleader Funds
2 and future funds distributable under the CAMA as security for his claim.
3 77. Further, Singer is a transferee of transfers that may be avoided under 11 U.S.C. § 547
4 and A.R.S. § 44-1001 et seq., and J Wick may recover such transfers from Singer under 11 U.S.C.
5 § 550.
6 78. J Wick objects to the allowance of the Singer Alleged Claim in any amount and the
7 extent of any interests Singer may claim in property of its estate as security for the Singer Alleged
8 Claim.
9 79. Moreover, to the extent that any transfers alleged hereinabove are avoided, the Singer
10 Alleged Claim must be reclassified or disallowed so that Singer is treated as the holder of one non-
11 priority, unsecured claim against J Wick in an amount to be determined by the Court.

12 WHEREFORE, J Wick requests that this Court enter judgment in its favor and against Singer
13 on Count III as follows: (i) determining the extent, validity, and allowance of the Singer Alleged
14 Claim and (ii) granting such other and further relief as the Court deems just and equitable.
15 COUNT IV
Equitable Subordination Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 510
16
18 as if fully set forth herein.
19 81. Through the Singer Settlement Agreement and Singer Judgment Action, Singer abused
20 his position as a discrete lender to MJW and through gross inequitable conduct induced MJW to agree
21 to a stipulation for judgment and judgment against MJW in an amount that far exceeded any amounts
22 otherwise legally due and owing by MJW to Singer.
23 82. Singer has consistently demonstrated personal animus towards Witherill, which has
24 been visited upon J Wick and other affiliates that have arms-length, third party creditors and
25 investors. As a result of such animus, Singer has exhibited his unwillingness to deal in good faith
26 with MJW, J Wick, their affiliates, or their third party creditors and investors.
27 83. Singer has asserted that other creditors of J Wick may not participate in the Singer
{0005905.0001/00937085.DOCX / }
11
1 Enforcement Action, depriving such creditors of a forum to redress their asserted interests in the
2 assets sought by Singer.
3 84. Singer has wrongfully used his claim against MJW, a mere member of J Wick, to
4 exercise dominion and control over property of J Wick in which MJW had no direct interest, thus
5 precipitating J Wick’s bankruptcy proceeding.
6 85. Singer has and continues to threaten to use his considerable economic resources to
7 conduct a war of attrition against MJW and J Wick to the detriment of J Wick and its creditors and
8 equity holders.
9 86. Since the Petition Date, Singer has threatened to engage in scorched earth tactics
10 including an attempt to disqualify counsel for J Wick solely for litigation and tactical gain.
11 87. Singer’s conduct has been grossly inequitable and resulted in injury to J Wick, its
12 bankruptcy estate, and third-party creditors.
13 88. Singer’s actions giving rise to the Singer Alleged Claim, including his actions and
14 representations to the California Court in the process of his obtaining relief in the Singer Enforcement
15 Action, and his continued prosecution of the action in violation of the automatic stay (addressed in a
16 separate complaint by MJW), have been so egregious and amount to such gross inequitable conduct
17 that the Singer Alleged Claim, to the extent it is allowed at all, should be equitably subordinated to
18 those of other creditors in the J Wick case, including, without limitation, subordination of any liens
19 that Singer may claim in any property of J Wick’s estate.
20 WHEREFORE, J Wick requests that this Court enter judgment in its favor and against Singer
21 on Count IV as follows: (i) determining the extent, validity, and allowance of the Singer Alleged
22 Claim; (ii) subordinating the Singer Alleged Claim as appropriate under the facts and circumstances
23 of this proceeding; and (iii) granting such other and further relief as the Court deems just and
24 equitable.

LOAN AGREEMENT
July 10, 2014
THIS LOAN AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into between MJW Films, LLC, an Arizona limited liability
company ("Borrower"), on the one hand, and Michael Singer, an individual ("Lender"), on the other hand, with
respect to the theatrical motion picture presently entitled "Stuck" (the "Picture") to be produced by Borrower.
A. WHEREAS, Lender, through H&W Movie Partners, LLC ("H&W"), previously advanced
$1,250,000 to Lender as an equity investment in Lender (the "H&W Investment");
B. WHEREAS, Lender, through H&W, previously extended to Warrior Films, LLC ("Warrior"), which
owns a 15% interest in Lender, a bridge loan in the amount of $550,000, of which $205,000
remains owing to Warrior (the "H&W Bridge Loan");
C. WHEREAS, Borrower requires funds for the purpose of covering certain costs and expenses in
connection with the production of the Picture;
D. WHEREAS, Lender is willing to loan $235,000 to Borrower (the "Loan") to be used in connection
with the Picture in consideration for certain returns and credits as set forth herein and the
Promissory Note attached as Exhibit A;
E. WHEREAS, in connection with the Loan, Borrower shall give Lender a security interest in the
Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement attached as Exhibit B);
F. WHEREAS, in connection with the Loan, Lender and Borrower also wish to restructure the
parties' rights and obligations under the H&W Investment and the H&W Bridge Loan.
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:
1. Loan. Pursuant to the Promissory Note attached hereto and related agreements, Lender shall
wire the sum of $235,000 (the "Principal") to Borrower on or before July 10, 2014. Interest shall accrue
and be payable on the Principal amount of the Loan at the rate of $5,000 per day from the date of
Borrower's receipt of the Principal (the "Interest").
2. Return. Interest shall be payable until such time as the entire Principal, together with any
accrued Interest and other unpaid charges or fees hereunder, is paid in full. Such payments shall be
made to Lender at such place as Lender may designate. Such payments received hereunder shall be
applied, first, to any costs incurred by Lender in collecting such payment; second, to accrued Interest;
and third, to Principal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may prepay Interest and/or Principal at
any time without penalty.
3. H&W Investment and H&W Bridge Loan. As further consideration for the Loan, Lender and
Borrower agree that in lieu of Lender's obligations under the agreement(s) entered into in connection
with the H&W Investment and/or the H&W Bridge Loan (collectively, the "H&W Agreements"), Lender
shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to 50% of all profit distributions from Lender to Michael J.
Witherill (i.e., Michael J. Witherill's share of Lender profits) and 50% of all personal income received by
Michael J. Witherill from Lender (i.e., in the form of salary, fees, and other forms of compensation) until
such time as Lender has recouped the full amount of the H&W Investment and the outstanding balance
of the H&W Bridge Loan (the "H&W Obligation"). At such time as the H&W Obligation has been

satisfied, Lender shall execute an assignment to Borrower of all right, title and interest in and to
Borrower and/or Warrior. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph 3 and other
relevant provisions of this Agreement shall supersede any and all prior agreements and understandings
under the H&W Agreements with respect to the FI&W Investment and H&W Bridge Loan and Lender
acknowledges and agrees that by entering into this Agreement, Lender hereby releases and waives
Lender's rights under the H&W Agreements. In this regard, Lender understands, and for valuable
consideration, hereby expressly waives, all of the rights and benefits of Section 1542 of the California
Civil Code, which section reads as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims which the

creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or
her favor at the time of executing the release, which if
known by him or her must have materially affected his
or her settlement with the debtor.
Further, Lender acknowledges and agrees that there shall be no crossing of Borrower's obligations
or Lender's rights in connection with the Loan and the H&W Obligation (e.g., Borrower's breach or
default in connection with the H&W Obligation shall not constitute a breach or default of the Loan
evidenced by this Agreement and vice versa, and in no event shall Lender be entitled to exercise its
rights in connection with the Loan by virtue of a breach or default of the H&W Obligation). Further,
Lender represents and warrants that Lender has the full right and authority to enter into this
Agreement on behalf of H&W.
4. No Joint Venture. No party hereunder is an agent, partner, joint-venturer or fiduciary, of any

party, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, trust or similar relationship shall be established or
deemed to be established by this Agreement, any investment requested, made, or repaid hereunder, or
any other action or transaction contemplated hereby.
5. Further Assurances. From time to time, as requested by Lender, Borrower shall execute and
deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered all such documents and instruments and will take, or
cause to be taken, all such reasonable actions, as Lender may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
6. Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement
shall be deemed given (i) when personally delivered to any officer of the party to whom it is addressed,
(ii) on the earlier of actual receipt thereof or five (5) days following posting thereof by certified mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (iii) upon actual receipt thereof when sent by a recognized

3 9. Singer has a money judgment against MJW Films and Witherill, joint and several,
4 dated November 7, 2014, in the principal sum of $1,962,425. ("Money Judgment"). The time

27
28
2
COMPLAINT

1 scope of such agencies and employment and with the knowledge, consent, approval,
2 authorization, and gratification of each of the Defendants.
3 GENERAL ALLEGATIONS
4 15. Singer invested money with the Judgment Debtors for the purpose of being
5 involved in movie production. Singer ultimately took issue with Judgment Debtors' use of
6 production funds and he withdrew from their production arrangement and sought return of his
7 money. To this end, the parties stipulated to a Money Judgment in favor of Singer and against
8 the Judgment Debtors, jointly and severally, in the amount of $1 ,962,425. Singer has not been
9 able to collect on this Judgment, or any part of it, to date. .
10 16. Judgment Debtors produce and finance commercial motion pictures, typically
11 setting up distinct single purpose entities for each movie. The Judgment Debtors formed such a
12 single purpose entity - J Wick - for the purpose of producing a movie called John Wick. The
13 sole purpose of J Wick was the production, financing and participation in the profits of the John
14 Wick movie.
15 17. Singer is informed and believes and thereon alleges, that the movie John Wick
16 was released and theatrically distributed beginning in or about October 2014 both in the United
17 States and throughout the world.
18 1 8. Singer is informed and believes and thereon alleges, that Freeway acts as a third-
19 party collection agent that collects and distributes to the Judgment Debtors, and others, proceeds
20 from the distribution and commercial exploitation of the John Wick movie, among other movies.
21 1 9. On or about December 1 1 , 201 5, Singer learned that Freeway held for the benefit
22 of MJW Funds in the amount of $1,165,777 and that Freeway held for the benefit of J. Wick
23 Funds in the amount of $293,742. Counsel for Judgment Debtors assured Singer, in writing, that
-4 24 the Funds would be held by Freeway and not dispersed to Judgment Debtors, or anyone else,
"-4
4? 25 without the consent of, among others, Singer.
""26 20. On or about December 14, 2015, Singer delivered to Defendants, including but
27 not limited to Third Parties, written demand that all sums held by Freeway for the benefit of
28
3
COMPLAINT

1 MJW, Witherill or J Wick be held by Freeway and not distributed to any party. Singer further
2 demanded that Defendants, including but not limited to the Third Parties, interplead all such
\
3 funds held by them or for the benefit of MJW, Witherill or J Wick to the Los Angeles Superior
4 Court in that certain action entitled Michael Singer v. Michael Witherill and MJW Films, LLC,
5 LASC Case Number BC559972.
6 21. Despite the aforesaid written demand by Singer and written assurances by counsel
7 for Judgment Debtors, Singer is informed and believes, and thereon alleges, that Freeway, in or
8 about January 2016, disbursed all the Funds to or for the benefit of MJW, Witherill and J Wick.
9 Despite repeated demands, Defendants, including but not limited to the Third Parties, have
10 refused to pay the Funds, or any portion thereof, to Singer or, in the alternative, interplead such
11 Funds to the Los Angeles Superior Court. Further, Defendants knew but concealed from Singer
12 that the Funds would be disbursed to or for the benefit of MJW, Witherill and J Wick, despite
13 the written assurances by counsel for Judgment Debtors to the contrary. In addition, Defendants
14 concealed from Singer that the Funds had been disbursed in January 2016, which first became
15 known to Singer in or about July 2016.
16 22. Singer is informed and believes and thereon alleges, that there is such a unity of
17 interest and ownership between and among Defendants Witherill and MJW on the one hand, and
18 J Wick on the other hand, that Witherill and MJW are the equitable owners of J Wick, and the
19 separate personalities of Witherill and MJW on the one hand and J Wick on the other hand do
20 not in reality exist.
21 23. Singer is informed and believes and thereon alleges, that there would be an
22 inequitable result to the detriment of Singer unless the Court disregards any purported separate
i £23 existence of J Wick, on the one hand, apart from Witherill or MJW, on the other hand, such that
i
i -J
24 the Court can and should treat the acts, assets and property of J Wick as if they were committed
v 25 by or belonged to Witherill and MJW.

1 FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION
2 Creditor's Suit
(CCP § 708.210)
3
(Against All Defendants)
4
24. Singer refers to and incorporates herein by reference the allegations contained in
5
paragraphs 1 through 23, above, as if specifically set forth herein.
6
25. Singer is informed and believes and thereon alleges, the Third Parties have
7
possession or control of Funds in which the Judgment Debtors have an interest and which directly
8
or indirectly belong to the Judgment Debtors.
26. Singer is informed and believes and thereon alleges, that the Third Parties are
10
indebted to Judgment Debtors and that the Funds should be applied to Singer's Money Judgment
11
against Judgment Debtors until the Money Judgment is satisfied in full.
12
27. Service of summons on the Third Parties creates a lien on the interest of the
13
Judgment Debtors in the Funds or other property or on the debt owed by the Third Parties to the
14
Judgment Debtors that is the subject of this action
15
SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
16
Accounting
17
18
28. Singer refers to and incorporates herein by reference the allegations contained in
19
paragraphs 1 through 27, above, as if specifically set forth herein.
20
29. An accounting is necessary to determine the amount of lost profits and other
21
damages Singer has suffered due to the Defendants' aforesaid wrongful conduct as described
22
above in paragraphs 19-23, and the accounts are so complicated that an ordinary legal action
23
'•Vv
demanding a fixed sum is impracticable.

24
30. As a result of the aforementioned circumstances, Singer is entitled to an
*25
C7)
accounting of the monies diverted to the aforesaid Defendants to establish the damages he has
26
suffered.
27
28
5
COMPLAINT

1 THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION
2 CONSTRUCTIVE TRUST
3 (Against All Defendants)
4 31. Singer refers to and incorporates herein by reference the allegations contained in
5 paragraphs 1 through 30, above, as if specifically set forth herein.
6 32. By reason of the wrongful manner in which the aforesaid Defendants, or any of
7 them, obtained their alleged right, claim or interest in and to the Funds, the Defendants, and each
8 of them, have no legal or equitable right, claim or interest therein, but, instead, the aforesaid
9 Defendants, and each of them are involuntary trustees holding the Funds and profits therefrom
10 in constructive trust for Singer with the duty to convey the same to Singer forthwith.
11 FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION
12 CONVERSION
16 34. At all times herein mentioned, Singer was, and still is, entitled to the possession
17 of the Funds, and such monies are readily identifiable to the aforesaid Defendants through
18 tracing.
19 35. On or about December 14, 2015, the aforesaid Funds had a value of at least
20 $1,459,519.
21 36. In or about January 2016, Defendants took the aforesaid Funds belonging and
22 which should have been paid to Singer and converted the same to their own use.
23 37. As a proximate result of Defendants' conversion, Plaintiff suffered damages that

•V
'"-J 24 are the natural, reasonable, and proximate results of the conversion of at least $1,459,519.
^25 38. The acts of the aforesaid Defendants were willful and malicious in that their
:7> 26 conduct was intended to cause injury to Singer and was carried on with a conscious disregard for
27 Singer's rights, thereby warranting the assessment of exemplary and punitive damages pursuant
28
6
COMPLAINT

3 FIFTH CAUSE OF ACTION
4 DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
8 40. An actual controversy exists between the parties regarding the parties' rights and
9 obligations arising out of the Defendants' transactions with respect to the Funds: Specifically,
10 whether title to and/or possession of the Funds should be adjudicated in Singer's or Defendants'
11 favor.
12 41. Defendants threaten to continue to deprive Singer of his right to exclusive
13 possession of the Funds, including all readily identifiable and traceable cash, proceeds, personal
14 property and real property. Singer is informed and believes, and on the basis of that information
15 and belief alleges, that unless restrained by this Court, Defendants will continue to deprive Singer
16 of his property, including the aforesaid Funds.
17 42. Such aforesaid wrongful conduct by Defendants will result in irreparable harm to
18 Singer in that if left unrestrained, it will result in loss of assets belonging to Singer. The potential
19 damages that could proximately result from Defendants' continued aforesaid wrongful conduct
20 would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to assess accurately.
21 43. A judicial determination resolving this actual controversy is necessary and
22 appropriate at this time.

COMPLAINT

1 45. At the aforesaid dates and times, the Defendants falsely and fraudulently
2 concealed material facts from Singer as set forth above in paragraphs 19-23, which each of
3 them had a duty to disclose.-
4 46. The aforesaid Defendants concealed material facts from Singer by failing to
5 disclose the substance and nature of the aforesaid transactions knowing that Singer was a creditor
6 of the Judgment Debtors and that the Third Parties had in their possession moneys that properly
7 should be paid to Singer.
8 47. The aforesaid Defendants had a duty to make full disclosures to Singer of the
9 concealed information, and the concealment of material facts was made by the aforesaid
10 Defendants with the intent to defraud and deceive Singer and with the intent to induce Singer to
11 act in the manner herein alleged.
12 48. At and during the time the aforesaid Defendants concealed the aforesaid material
13 facts from Singer, Defendants had no intention of divulging the material facts which each had a
14 duty to disclose.
15 49. Singer, at the time the aforesaid concealment of material facts was made and at
16 the time Defendants took the actions herein alleged, was unaware of the material facts concealed
17 by the aforesaid Defendants and was ignorant of Defendants' secret intention not to divulge the
18 material facts. Singer could not, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, have discovered the
19 aforesaid Defendants' secret intentions and concealment of the aforesaid material facts.
20 50. At all relevant times Singer was unaware of the aforesaid material facts, and was
21 induced to and did, inter alia, act in the manner alleged to his substantial detriment and damage.
22 51 . Had Singer known the actual facts and true intentions concealed by Defendants,
^23 Singer would not have acted as he did and would not have been damaged as alleged herein.
::U4 52. Singer's reliance on Defendants' concealment of material facts was justified
25 because the Defendants had exclusive knowledge of the truth, which was unavailable at the time
""26 to Singer because Defendants were in the sole custody, control and/or possession of their secret
27 intentions.
28
8
COMPLAINT

1 53. As a direct, foreseeable, and proximate result of Defendants' intentional
2 concealment and omission of material facts, Singer has suffered and continues to suffer
3 substantial damages in excess of $1 ,459,5 19, the exact amount to be ascertained at trial according
4 to proof.
5 54. The acts of Defendants were willful and malicious in that their conduct was
6 intended to cause injury to Singer and was carried on with a conscious disregard for Singer's
7 rights, thereby warranting the assessment of exemplary and punitive damages pursuant to Cal.
8 Civ. Code§ 3294 against each of the aforesaid Defendants, jointly and severally, in an amount
9 appropriate to punish them.
10 SEVENTH CAUSE OF ACTION
11 SET ASIDE FRAUDULENT TRANSFER OF MONEY

(Civil Code §§ 3439, et seq.)
12
13
16 56. This Cause of Action arises under and is alleged pursuant to Civil Code §§ 3439,
17 et seq.
18 57. Defendants, and each of them, conspired with one another to transfer the Funds
19 as alleged herein for the purpose of hindering, delaying, and/or defrauding Singer. Defendants,
20 and each of them, were aware that the foregoing conduct was and continues to be fraudulent.
21 58. The transfer of the Funds by Defendants is fraudulent as to Singer because
22 Defendants made the transfer (or incurred the obligation) with actual intent to hinder, delay,
:: 23 and/or defraud Singer, known to Defendants to be the creditor of Judgment Debtors.
"V.J
24 59. The transfer of the Funds as alleged herein was made without receiving a
3 *"J
25 reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfer, leaving the Judgment Debtors with
:7> 26 remaining assets that are unreasonably small in relation to the business of the Judgment Debtors.
27
28

COMPLAINT

1 60. As a direct, foreseeable, and proximate result of Defendants' wrongful conduct,
2 S inger has suffered and continues to suffer substantial damages in excess of $ 1 ,45 9,5 1 9, the exact
3 amount to be ascertained at trial according to proof.
4 61 . Singer is entitled to avoidance of the aforesaid transfer of the Funds to the extent
5 necessary to satisfy his Money Judgment against the Judgment Debtors, jointly and severally,
6 and equitable relief in the form of an injunction against further transfer of the Funds, and/or
7 appointment of a Receiver.
8 62. Singer is informed and believes and thereon alleges that in doing the things
9 alleged herein, Defendants, and each of them, acted fraudulently, oppressively, maliciously, and
10 in conscious disregard of the rights of Singer. Therefore, Singer is entitled to recover punitive
11 and/or exemplary damages from Defendants in an amount to be established at the time of trial.

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO COMPLETE THE COVER SHEET
To Plaintiffs and Others Filing First Papers. If you are filing a first paper (for example, a complaint) In a civil case, you must
complete and file, along with your first paper, the Civil Case Cover Sheet contained on page 1 . This information will be used to compile
statistics about the types and numbers of cases filed. You must complete items 1 through 6 on the sheet. In item 1 , you must check
one box for the case type that best describes the case. If the case fits both a general and a more specific type of case listed in item 1 ,
check the more specific one. If the case has multiple causes of action, check the box that best indicates the primary cause of action.
To assist you in completing the sheet, examples of the cases that belong under each case type in item 1 are provided below. A cover
sheet must be filed only with your initial paper. Failure to file a cover sheet with the first paper filed in a civil case may subject a party,
its counsel, or both to sanctions under rules 2.30 and 3.220 of the California Rules of Court.
To Parties in Rule 3.740 Collections Cases. A "collections case" under rule 3.740 is defined as an action for recovery of money
owed in a sum stated to be certain that is not more than $25,000, exclusive of interest and attorney's fees, arising from a transaction in
which property, services, or money was acquired on credit. A collections case does not include an action seeking the following: (1) tort
damages, (2) punitive damages, (3) recovery of real property, (4) recovery of personal property, or (5) a prejudgment writ of
attachment. The identification of a case as a rule 3.740 collections case on this form means that it will be exempt from the general
time-for-service requirements and case management rules, unless a defendant files a responsive pleading. A rule 3.740 collections
case will be subject to the requirements for service and obtaining a judgment in rule 3.740.
To Parties in Complex Cases. In complex cases only, parties must also use the Civil Case Cover Sheet to designate whether the
case is complex. If a plaintiff believes the case is complex under rule 3.400 of the California Rules of Court, this must be indicated by
completing the appropriate boxes in items 1 and 2. If a plaintiff designates a case as complex, the cover sheet must be served with the
complaint on all parties to the action. A defendant may file and serve no later than the time of its first appearance a joinder in the
plaintiffs designation, a counter-designation that the case is not complex, or, if the plaintiff has made no designation, a designation that
the case is complex. CASE TYPES AND EXAMPLES

APPEARANCES:
For Plaintiff(s): Jeffrey Dean Farrow by Steven S. Davis, Esq. (x)
For Defendant(s): Arash Beral by Jeffrey S. Goodfriend, Esq. (x)
NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS:
EX PARTE APPLICATION OF PROSPECTIVE INTERVENORS BRIAN SCOTT

WEISENBURGER AND JACQUELINE S. WEISENBURGER TO INTERVENE THE
ACTION UNDER CCP 387 AND TO FILE PROPOSED COMPLAINT IN INTERVENTION,
OR ALTERNATIVELY TO SHORTEN TIME FOR A HEARING ON MOTION TO
INTERVENE IN THE ACTION;
Ex Parte application is read and considered in chambers.
Ex parte application is denied. Moving party fails to show good cause for exercise of the court’s
ex parte jurisdiction. There is no showing of irreparable harm or immediate danger in the
absence of ex parte relief. CRC 3.1202(c). Moving party has also failed to provide good cause
for the relief sought.
The ex parte application of non-parties Weisenburger for leave to intervene is denied, without
prejudice. In addition, there is opposition to the proposed intervention. This is not a matter for an
ex parte. No good cause has been presented as to why there is any basis to intervene. In addition,
no good cause has been presented why this application was not filed sooner. Likewise, these new
non-parties apparently have no interest in the dispute at issue in this lawsuit. This court is not a
bankruptcy court.
Defendant seeks by ex parte an earlier hearing date, but the court does not have available an
earlier date. The court’s hearing schedule is extremely congested, due to the closing of
courtrooms and redistribution of additional cases to this court. The parties are ordered to use the
CRS reservation system to find the earliest date available for a noticed motion hearing.
