breaches of the Contract herein, the successful party shall be entitled to

BUYERS'S merchantable title to the real estate for the full amount of the
purchase price subject only to such exceptions as are permitted by this
Contract. BUYERS shall cause said
Title Commitment to be examined within ten (10) days after said delivery and
shall furnish SELLERS with written opinion thereon, either accepting said title
as so merchantable or stating valid objections thereto and which are necessary
to be corrected to make said title so merchantable.
SELLERS shall make such necessary corrections within a reasonable time
and without undue delay. When the
title has been found to be or has been made so merchantable, BUYERS shall pay
the balance of the purchase price and interest due hereunder; and,
simultaneously, SELLERS shall convey said real estate to BUYERS by Warranty

attorney fees incurred.
In the event SELLERS is unable to deliver title, BUYERS shall, at
BUYERS'S option, be refunded all payments hereunder and costs and expenses,
including any reasonable attorneys' fees for BUYERS'S attorney for enforcing
this provision, less reasonable rental value of the use of the real
estate, or BUYERS may pursue all remedies available at law or equity including
attorneys' fees of BUYERS as a part of BUYERS'S damages.
