I have read that paragraphe over and over and it does not specifically state what would happen to the 30 percent stake that would have already been handed over for the 8 million.It really only clearly states we would get back he 70 percent in escrow.Therefore its possible unless clearly defined that it could go in either of two ways...let them keep the 30 percent or pay back the 8 million..a bit more clarity in the wording would be nice.
I dont think we would want to end up with a 30 percent partner at all..hope all works out
