LEVIN H. CAMPBELL, Chief Judge.

Mobil Oil Corporation ("Mobil") appeals from the district court's ruling after a bench trial that Mobil violated an agreement between the parties for the purchase and sale of land. Mobil also appeals from the district court's alternative ruling that, even if Mobil did not violate the agreement, it is not entitled to specific performance. We reverse both rulings.
