Transcripts
we negotiated a contract
for a very long term deal i mean it was
an exclusive contract
and so the idea was that we were going
to be the exclusive
distributor of this oximeter in india
they failed all right we had an
agreement
the agreement was that they were going
to sell our products they could they
couldn't sell our products right
what do you suspect their response will
be
who knows my problem i mean i don't
think they're going to be thrilled with
it
we would like to hear uh where they're
at at this point from their perspective
the 1.6 million it doesn't relate to
their theory which is tied to the
written contract
whereas your estimation is tied to the
understanding that you had with them if
we can
put aside for just a moment the legal
issues
i'd like to understand um the non-legal
aspect of this
you could think of it as
because they were an exclusive
it was in their interest to be the ones
that spent the five hundred thousand
dollars because they were going to reap
all the upside later
now we're going back and saying well
it's going to be a non-exclusive
what do you think of the chances that
what this is suggesting is
if you leave the mediation
and you go forward to trial
these are the way that your lawyer would
look at the risks and what might happen
at trial
i wonder if it would be useful for me to
give
you and reagany some predictions
of what might happen on this contract
case i think that would be very helpful
especially for miss gandhi here
i want to ask you to make a last and
final offer
the good news about that is that i'm
never coming back to you
if i could have 220 it'll i can sell it
to them
as not just being barely 200 215
does 215 have that sound
