Erez,
You called me this morning and informed me that the closing the of transaction as agreed between Dr Merkin
and me on July 19 can not proceed because the government contract that was signed in December had only a
value RMB 1 million, and Heritage was only informed about this contract amount (that you called
"insignificant" sometime in December.
This is a misunderstanding on your side and here are the facts:
I. The key terms of this contract were discussed and agreed during the meeting with Dr Merkin and Adam
Goldston on July 19.
I pointed out that RMB 1 million is the cut off for tendering requirements under Chinese law and explained this
contract signed with a central Ministry body is a significant milestone for the business.
2. Due the significance of these terms Adam Goldston on behalf of Heritage asked for exact wording for the term
sheet. This was provided on July 23 in writing (email attached). I quote this email:
"A signed agreement between Asia Gateway Healthcare Information Technology and any governmental party
under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of the P. R. China, having a value
of no less than RMB I million, for use of the Asia Gateway Healthcare Insurance Information Processing And
Analytics System."
3. From the first Term Sheet draft sent by Adam Goldston/Heritage to me dated on July 26, the term sheet always
referred to the above quoted clause which clearly stated the amount of RMB 1 million. Email and Term Sheet
attached.
4. Since the first draft of the Stock Purchase Agreement until the final Heritage agreed Stock Purchase
Agreement clause 6.02 c) states: "the Company or Asia Gateway shall have entered into a contract with
a division of the Ministry on terms and conditions substantially identical to those set forth on Exhibit B, which
contract shall bear an official chop and be valid and binding upon the parties;"
5. The first actual word for word draft of the Chinese government contract, was sent to Adam Goldston/Heritage
on August 2, followed by the formal and official sending on November 14 by my attorneys to Heritage attorneys
in Chinese and English for the contract to be added as Exhibit B to the Stock Purchase Agreement (email
attached).
6. Due to the significance and the commitment to deliver to the government (which requires financial resources)
I double checked just in a case and confirmed once again a) the government contract in its agreed form and b)
the closing date of the transaction to be December 26. Both was agreed in writing by Adam Goldston/Heritage
on December 18 , and followed by "Congratulations" on December 19 upon the successful signing of exactly
that contract.
Dr Merkin and I agreed a deal and we followed through exactly what was represented and with full clarity and
transparency.
The facts are clear: the contract size was clear from day one when the agreement was made.

Re-neging now is completely unacceptable.
