EMAIL DETAILS

Eric
Just sending this below email from along to you so you can see I am playing
every angle on the Burnham Harvest deal. Steve Lakis CEO of the State
Legislative Leaders Foundation (SLLF) sent that email to Henry. You lads
are aware of this push as you helped get the project on the agenda this
summer which put us in a great situation with Henry. Henry is the EVP of
the SLLF in China. Devon and Andrew saw this email last week, sometimes I
feel I have to blow my own horn with Devon and that irks me. Without me
frankly Henry would not do a deal as a matter of fact he still has the
offer on the table of taking me and HB into another deal in the US. At any
rate thought you should see this since you lads played a role a big role in
this
Thanks
Jimmy

Dear Henry,

Merry Christmas from America and all good wishes for a healthy, happy and
prosperous New Year. I am excited with the prospects of our launching our
SLLF/Asia office and getting off to a fast start with programs in China and
perhaps, Hawaii in 2016. More on all this when we speak.

I am enclosing a copy of my year-end report to the members of our Board of
Directors. It covers much of what we accomplished in 2015 and presents a
forecast of what we are planning for the future.

Last week, Jimmy Bulger and I had lunch together to talk about SLLF,
Thornton, and of course, our plans for China. These are always great
conversations. Jimmy and I have been close friends for many, many years and
I value his experience and knowledge about China and all the assistance he
has given me.`

I also have a small interest in Thornton so I am always keen to hear about
new and promising developments on the business front. Jimmy gave me a quick
briefing on the potential JV betweeen Harvest and Burnham. I am not versed
on the details of course, but I do know the principals and this does sound
like win-win proposition. I wish you all well with this endeavor!

Take good care, Henry. The board meeting in Florida was a big success and
SLLF and CPAFFC are now formally partners with many good projects already
underway!

Best to you, Michelle, and the boys.
