McEWAN, Justice
(concurring).
I do not know what else the appellant could have done to “exercise” the option. When attempts at communication with ap-pellees-optionors proved unsuccessful the appellant-optionee filed suit, and, upon entry of default judgment, paid $12,000 to the Clerk of the District Court on or before November 7, 1969. The appellees, on or before that date, acknowledged receipt of a copy of the amended default decree. Therefore, the appellees knew before the expiration of the time that the appellant not only intended to exercise the option, but did so by filing suit. The $12,000 was paid for the benefit of the appellees before the expiration date of the alleged option. The appellant timely exercised the alleged option, the appellees were so notified and the $12,000 was paid. Thus, I believe the exercise of the alleged option was fully and timely performed by the appellant.
The trial court also found that the option, on its face, appeared to be vague and uncertain. I agree with this finding, and therefore concur in the result.
