to the Purchase Price at Closing.

         D. If Buyer fails to close after having  obtained  Site Plan  Approval,

shall have a Title Company issue a Title Commitment to Buyer for the Property.

which to notify Seller of any objections Buyer has to the condition of title. In
determining the  acceptability of title, the Uniform Title Standards adopted and
published by the Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section of the Florida Bar
shall  apply.  In the event  title is found to be  defective  in any  particular
whatsoever which renders title  unmarketable or uninsurable,  or which adversely
affects  Buyer's  intended  development  of the Property,  Seller  covenants and
agrees that Seller will use  diligent  effort to correct all  defect(s) in title
excluding  bringing  suit.  If  Seller is  unsuccessful  in  removing  all title
defect(s) within 90 days after receipt of title objections, Buyer shall have the
option of either: (i) accepting the title as it then is with the right to deduct
from the cash to close,  liens or encumbrances of an  ascertainable  amount (ii)
receiving a full and prompt  refund of the Deposit,  together with any extention
fees or postponement  fees paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 4, whereupon Buyer,
Seller and Escrow Agent Shall be released of all further  obligations under this
Contract.

         C. Buyer shall cause Title Company to issue an updated title commitment
for the  Property.  If the update  contains any new or different  conditions  of
title than the original  Title  Commitment,  and such  conditions  have not been
approved by Buyer in accordance  with this Contract,  Buyer shall have the right
to object to such new or  different  conditions  prior to  Closing.  If Buyer so
objects,  the Closing  shall be  postponed,  and Seller shall have 10 days after
receipt of Buyer's new title objections in which to cure

                                       3

violate  any  restrictions,  contracts,  covenants  or  applicable  governmental

possession.

expenses, demands, and liability,  including, but not limited to attorneys' fees
and expenses incurred prior to trial, at trial and on appeal, for nonpayment for
