7. Each successful tenderer shall be required, within thirty days from the date on which the lease shall be tendered to him, to sign same in triplicate. In the event of his failure to do so, the Board may forfeit the rent paid by him and again offer the land for lease, freed from any obligation to the defaulting tenderer.
