General Denial Xcentric generally denies each and every allegation of the Counterclaim except as otherwise expressly admitted herein.

Jury Demand Xcentric demands a trial by jury as to all matters so triable. AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES FIRST AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE (Failure to State Claim) The Counterclaim fails to state any claim upon which relief may be granted because Arizona law applies to Xcentrics actions in Arizona, and Xcentrics actions were lawful pursuant to A.R.S. 13-3005(A)(1). In addition, the calls at issue were not confidential within the meaning of Cal. Penal Code 632(c).

SECOND AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE (Self Defense) To the extent that Xcentrics actions were unlawful, such actions were nevertheless privileged as reasonably necessary to protect Xcentric from the criminal actions of others including, but not limited to, Mr. Mobrez. THIRD AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE (Unclean Hands) The Counterclaim, and each cause of action set forth therein, is barred by the doctrine of unclean hands. FOURTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE (Setoff) To the extent that Xcentric is liable to Mr. Mobrez for any reason, it is entitled to setoff in the amount of $4,949.03, plus interest from July 19, 2011 to the present, for the judgment awarded in favor of Xcentric and against Mr. Mobrez in Case No. 10-cv-1360.
