Plaintiff is ignorant of the true names and capacities of the Defendants sued herein7 as Does 1 through 50, inclusive, and therefore sues these Defendants by such fictitious nam es.8 Plaintiff will amend this Complaint to allege the true names and capacities of said Defendants when9 the same is ascertained. Plaintiff is informed and believes and based thereon alleges that each of

    10 these fictitiously-named Defendants is jointly responsible in some manner for the transactions and11 /or occurrences herein alleged, and that the Plaintiffs injuries as alleged were proximately caused12 by such Defendants.1314 4. Plaintiff is informed and believes and based thereon alleges that at all times herein15 mentioned each of the Defendants w as the agent of each of the remaining Defendants, and in doing16 the things hereinafter alleged, was acting in the course and scope of such agency with the permission17 and consent of its co-Defendants,1819 5.

    o o1 from any damage claim of the entirety of the class of the entity Defendants' creditors in that Plaintiff2 was the specific and particularized target of Defendants' illega l, fraudulent and/or otherwise3 wrongful conduct.45 6. This action is not subject to Civil Code 1812.10 or Civil Code 2984.4. The proper6 county for the trial of this action is the County of Riverside in that the Defendants, and each of them,7 contracted to perform the obligation sued upon and/or have their principal place of business in the8 County of Riverside and within this judicial district.9

    10 FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION11 (Breach of Contract Against All Defendants)1213 7. Plaintiff hereby incorporates by reference paragraphs 1 through 6, inclusive, of this14 Complaint as if set forth in full in this paragraph.1516 8. On or about December29,2008, Plaintiff upon the request of Defendants for W orkers17 Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance coverage, provided Defendants with an Insurance18 Policy No. C45720573 for the period of 12/29/2008 through 12/29/2009, in writing, which was19 subject to an audit and recomputation of its premium (the "Policy"). Plaintiff is authorized under20 the Policy to examine and audit all records that relate to the Policy during the policy period. The21 Policy provides that the final premium w ill be determined by using the actual premium basis and the22 proper classifications and rates as determined by an audit. The Policy further obligated Defendants23 to pay the difference between the estimated and actual premiums after the audit and final premium24 determined by Plaintiff. In this regard, the Policy, in part, provides:2526 PART FIVE - PREMIUM [fl B. Classifications ffl] Item 4 of the27 information page shows the rate and premium basis for certain28 business or work classifications. These classifications were assigned

    o1 based on an estimate of the exposures you would have during the2 policy period. If your actual exposures are not properly described by3 those classifications, we will assign proper classifications, rates and4 premium basis by endorsement to this policy. fl[] C. Remuneration5 [

    o1 to this policy. These records include ledgers, journals, registers,2 vouchers, contracts, tax rep6rts, payroll and disbursement records,3 and programs for storing and retrieving data. We may conduct the4 audits during regular business hours during the policy period and5 within three years after the policy period ends . Information6 developed by audit will be used to determine final premium.7 Insurance rate service organizations have the same rights we have8 under this provision.9

    10 9. An audit was subsequently performed on the effective policy period for the Policy.11 The audit found the prem ium basis estimate provided by the Defendants to be inaccurate and found12 the actual audited total premium plus tax for the effective policy period for the Policy to be short.1314 10. Plaintiff has performed all conditions, covenants and promises required of it on its15 part in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Policy, except those which are excused by16 Defendants' breach.1718 11. Subsequent to the audit, Defendants refused to m ake any further payments toward the19 policy premium as audited for the Policy. Thus, within the past four years, Defendants have20 breached the terms of the Policy by failing and refusing to satisfy the am ount outstanding on the21 Policy of $27,506.00, which became fixed or readily ascertainable on March 8,2011.2223 12. As a direct and proximate result of Defendants' breach of the Policy, Plaintiff has24 been damaged in the amount of $27,506.00, together with prejudgment interest of $7.53 per day from25 March 8,2011 using the legal rate of 10% per annum.26 ///27 ///28 ///

    1. For the sum of $27,506.00, together with prejudgment interest of $7.53 per day fromMarch 8, 2011 using the legal rate of 10% per annum;
