justified under section 41-02-78 the buyer may by written notification to the seller as to 
any delivery concerned, and if the prospective deficiency substantially impairs the

installment contracts (section 41-02-75), then also as to the whole:
a. Terminate and thereby discharge any unexecuted portion of the contract; or
b. Modify the contract by agreeing to take the buyer's available quota in substitution.

contract within a reasonable time not exceeding thirty days, the contract lapses with 
respect to any deliveries affected.
3. The provisions of this section may not be negated by agreement except insofar as the 
seller has assumed a greater obligation under section 41-02-78.
