What amount Exceeds jurisdictional limits of all lower courts?
Generally.  Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (c) of this section, every complaint, counterclaim, cross-claim, interpleader complaint, and third-party complaint shall contain a demand for the relief to which the pleader deems himself entitled.  Relief in the alternative or of several different types may be demanded.  Except as provided in section 3215, the court may grant any type of relief within its jurisdiction appropriate to the proof whether or not demanded, imposing such terms as may be just. (b) Declaratory judgment.  In an action for a declaratory judgment, the demand for relief in the complaint shall specify the rights and other legal relations on which a declaration is requested and state whether further or consequential relief is or could be claimed and the nature and extent of any such relief which is claimed. (c) Personal injury or wrongful death actions.  In an action to recover damages for personal injuries or wrongful death, the complaint, counterclaim, cross-claim, interpleader complaint, and third-party complaint shall contain a prayer for general relief but shall not state the amount of damages to which the pleader deems himself entitled.  If the action is brought in the supreme court, the pleading shall also state whether or not the amount of damages sought exceeds the jurisdictional limits of all lower courts which would otherwise have jurisdiction.  Provided, however, that a party against whom an action to recover damages for personal injuries or wrongful death is brought, may at any time request a supplemental demand setting forth the total damages to which the pleader deems himself entitled.  A supplemental demand shall be provided by the party bringing the action within fifteen days of the request.  In the event the supplemental demand is not served within fifteen days, the court, on motion, may order that it be served.  A supplemental demand served pursuant to this subdivision shall be treated in all respects as a demand made pursuant to subdivision (a) of this section.

What is a cross complainant on a summons?
cross-complaintn. after a complaint has been filed against a defendant for damages or other orders of the court, the defendant may file a written complaint against the party suing him/her or against a third party as long as the subject matter is related to the original complaint. The defendant's filing of a complaint is called a cross-complaint, and the defendant is then called a cross-complainant and the party he/she sues is called a cross-defendant. The defendant must still file an answer or other response to the original complaint. If the cross-complaint is against the original plaintiff (original suer) then it can be served on the plaintiff's attorney by mail, but a third party must be served in person with the cross-complaint and a new summons issued by the clerk of the court. The cross-defendants must then file answers or other responses. These are called pleadings and must be carefully drafted (usually by an attorney) to properly state the factual as well as legal basis for the claim and contain a prayer for damages or other relief.(From LAW.COM Dictionary)

What is a written response to an order to show cause?
No matter what the Order To Show Cause (OTSC) is for, there are several methods of responding to it, and they will be recited within the body of the OTSC in the same way that a Summons directs how to respond to a complaint. If the OTSC is simply a substitute for a summons, you will be directed to file and serve an Answer to the Complaint within a certain number of days. If the OTSC is seeking emergent relief such as temporary restraints or a preliminary injunction in connection with a Complaint, the OTSC will probably simply direct an appearance in court on a specific day in order to deal with the request for emergent relief only. An Answer to the Complaint itself will be required shortly thereafter. Sometimes, in response to a request for emergent relief, a simple Affidavit or Certification in Opposition is filed prior to the initial return date of the OTSC.
