Nissho, by instructing Sanwa and through Sanwa's telexes, thereby assumed personal liability to pay the outstanding 20% balance; Sanwa acted as Nissho's agent in conveying the offer and in receiving the draft survey report, and the court construed negotiation as receipt by Sanwa, so the condition precedent was satisfied and Nissho was liable for US$447,999.72.
