PURCHASE AND SALE: Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein contained, Seller hereby agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase from Seller the property as depicted on Exhibit"A" attached hereto and made a part hereof,together with Seller's interest in all improvements located thereon(if any).

The Earnest Money shall be applied to the Contract Sales Price at Closing. 4. TITLE POLICY: At Closing, Buyer shall pay the basic premium for the issuance of an Owner's Policy of Title Insurance (the "Title Policy") issued by the Title Company in the amount of the Contract Sales Price and dated on or after Closing.
