  1. The purchaser will at any time and from time to time, whenever so required by the Board, make and deliver to the Board a statutory declaration as to the value of the improvements so put by him upon the said land.

  2. The purchaser will not assign, or do any act purporting to assign (otherwise than by way of mortgage), his interest in the land or any part thereof, or the benefit of his contract of purchase, nor will he let or part with the possession of the land or any part thereof, or do any act purporting to let or part with the possession of the land or any part thereof, until (in any of those cases) he has resided continuously on the land for a period of not less than one year, nor, except with the precedent permission of the Board in writing at any time thereafter, before the land has been transferred to the purchaser in fee-simple in pursuance of this agreement.

  3. The purchaser will within years from the date of this agreement erect a good and substantial fence on the boundaries of the said land, or upon any of those boundaries on which no such fence now exists, and any such fence so erected by the purchaser shall be computed as part of the improvements to be effected by the purchaser in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this agreement.

  4. The purchaser will not at any time before the said purchase has been completed by a transfer of the fee-simple of the land call upon or compel the Board to contribute to the cost of erecting, repairing, or maintaining any boundary fence which may now or hereafter be erected as a dividing fence between the said land and any land adjacent thereto in which the Board may have any estate or interest: Provided always that this provision shall not enure for the benefit of any occupier other than the Board of land so adjacent as aforesaid to the land hereby agreed to be sold so as to deprive the purchaser of any rights which he might otherwise have against such occupier.

  5. The purchaser will at all times before this agreement has been completed by the transfer of the fee-simple of the land keep the land clear from all noxious weeds, and will not permit any gorse or furze to spread thereon, and will keep all live fences on the said land properly cut and trimmed.

  6. If the purchaser at any time makes default for three months in the payment of any purchase-money or interest due by him under this agreement, or if he fails to observe and perform any of the requirements of Part XIV of the Native Land Act, 1909, or any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this agreement, the Board may give to the purchaser, or send to him by registered letter addressed to his last-known place of business or abode, a notice in writing specifying the default or failure complained of, and stating the intention of the Board to cancel this agreement; and on the expiration of one month after the notice is so given or sent the Board may by resolution, without any other notice whatever (but subject to the powers of the Supreme Court to grant to the purchaser relief against such cancellation and forfeiture), cancel this agreement, and all purchase-money and interest theretofore paid by the purchaser shall be forfeited.

  7. It is hereby agreed and declared that this agreement is made between the parties thereto under the provisions of section 244 of the Native Land Act, 1909, and that all the provisions of Part XIV of the said Act shall, so far as applicable, apply thereto accordingly, whether expressed herein or not, and that this agreement shall in all respects be so construed as to be consistent with the provisions of the said Act.

In witness whereof these presents have been executed under the seal of the said District Maori Land Board and under the hand of the said [Name of purchaser], the day and year first before written.
