The opinion of the Court was delivered by
SCHREIBER, J.
This case requires us to decide whether the terms of a contract for the sale of real estate are sufficiently certain to be specifically enforced. A major issue involves the effect of a due-on-sale clause in the existing first mortgage on the premises. The trial court granted specific performance to the Purchaser. A divided Appellate Division reversed, 178 N.J.Super. 444 (1981), and the Purchaser appealed pursuant to R. 2:2-l(a)(2).
