Shotgun Clause (Russian Roulette Clause)
A buy-sell provision where one partner offers to buy the other out at a stated price, and the other partner must either accept the offer OR buy the first partner out at that same price. Forces fair pricing because the offeror doesn't know which side of the deal they'll end up on. Effective but brutal.
