enemy). Buyer may (within thirty (30) days after he has knowledge thereof) by written notice sent by registered mail to Seller at Seller’s main office:

1) cancel the contract, or,

2) terminate the contract as to the portion thereof in default and purchase within said thirty (30) days an equal quantity of goods of the same kind and grade and recover from Seller the excess of the price so paid over the purchase price named herein, plus any incidental loss or expense, and in addition thereto, recover a sum equal to one per cent (1%) of the contract price named herein; or,

3) terminate the contract as to any unshipped balance, and recover from Seller as liquidated damages a sum to be computed by the following formula: (a) one per cent (1%) of the per cwt. contract price named herein multiplied by the number of cwts remaining unshipped, plus (b) amount of rise, if any, per bushel in the market value of cash wheat or rye, as the case may be in carload lots at Seller’s mill between date of contract and date of termination multiplied by two and thirty-five hundredths (2.35) times the number of cwts. remaining unshipped. In case of a decline in such value of such wheat or rye between said dates, Buyer shall recover the sum specified in (a) less the amount of such decline per bushel multiplied by two and thirty-five hundredths (2.35) times the number of cwts remaining unshipped. Such amount shall be credited to the amount provided in (b) solely in reduction of damages.

Provided: That if the default consists of a failure by Seller to ship at the time required, Buyer may cancel or terminate the contract as above provided only after giving Seller preliminary written notice of intention to cancel or terminate by registered mail addressed to the Seller’s main office. If Seller does not ship within eight (8) days after mailing of such notice, then Buyer may, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of said eight (8) days, cancel or terminate the contract as above provided.
