If the Initial Owner and Investor cannot agree that any such offer is jointly acceptable, then in that event, if either the Initial Owner or Investor is willing to accept such offer and the other party is not willing to accept such offer, the party not willing to accept such offer shall pay to the party willing to accept such offer such sum and upon such terms and conditions that was set forth in the offer received for the purchase of the Horse, and the selling party shall sell, convey, transfer and assign their interest in the Horse to the purchasing party upon the receipt of the purchase price.
