10 Variations
10.1 The Seller may not substitute any materials for the construction of the Property for other materials of non- equivalent standard, as set out in Schedule 3.
10.2 With respect to the Development Master Plan, the Seller may from time to time make such variations, or add or alter islands or other spaces to the Development as may in the circumstances be necessary, at the absolute discretion of the Seller or its authorized Development manager and in a way that will not disable the Purchaser from utilizing the property in a reasonable manner. Thus, whilst the Development and Phase Plans have been prepared and are as accurate as possible, the Purchaser acknowledges that these Plans are not yet final and adjustments, additions, alterations or variations to the final measurements may need to be made.
10.3 Subject to Clause 10.1, the Seller may not make any substantial changes that will have effect
on the purchased property and the utilization thereof without providing convening technical or
aesthetic justification to the Purchaser. However, the Seller may make technical changes
which will improve specifications, as well as certain unsubstantial alterations. The Seller may
make alterations which it feels appropriate to the external façade of the property.
11 Default
11.1 The punctual payment of instalments is the essence of this Agreement and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies the Seller may have, if the Purchaser fails to pay to the Seller any payments within thirty (30) calendar days after the due date as set out in Schedule 4, or if the Purchaser is in default of any obligation herein, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller shall, in its absolute discretion, be entitled to terminate this Agreement and Clauses 11.4 to 11.6 shall apply after giving 30-day prior notice in writing to the Purchaser to remedy the situation.

11.4 In the event that the Seller terminates this Agreement for reasons of non-compliance by the
Purchaser in accordance with clause 11.1, the Seller may re-sell otherwise dispose of the
Property held as security in accordance with clause 4.3 to another purchaser at a fair market
price for the Property at that time (the “Re-Sale Price”), and without further notice being
provided to the Purchaser. The Seller will not be responsible for selling the Property as the
sale of the Property is a right of the Seller but not an obligation.
11.5 The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller shall have the right to receive or collect all charges resulted from the default set out in Clause 11.4, and that if the Re-Sale Price is greater than the Istisna'a and Sale Price, then the Seller may directly deduct its

transID: [transID] Date: [trans_date] [island] ‐ [plot_no] ([housing_no])
administrative and other charges and notify the former Purchaser accordingly. However, if the Seller is unable to sell the property or has sold the property at market price but the sales price obtained is less than the amount covering the Seller's costs associated with such default, then the Seller may claim the amount from the former Purchaser through notice in writing, and the former Purchaser shall agree to pay such costs within thirty (30) days.
11.6 With reference to Clause 11.5, the Seller may not object for the Purchaser to have a joint right
with the Seller to welling the property. Where possible, and the Seller may not such joint right
