The Defendant breached the Sale Agreement as varied by failing to pay the balance by the final extended deadline of December 2002. The Plaintiffs were entitled to revoke the agreement and resell the property. The subsequent sale to the 2nd Plaintiff was lawful. The Defendant's claim of further extension to December 2003 was unsupported by the evidence, and the Plaintiffs' waiver of penalty and refund of the down payment was proper.
