§458. Breach of contract or of bylaws
A. The bylaws or the marketing contract of any association existing hereunder may fix, as liquidated damages, specific sums to be paid by the member to the association upon the breach or threatened breach by him of any provision of the bylaws or of the marketing contract regarding the sale or delivery or withholding of products, and may further provide that the members will pay all costs, premiums for bonds, expenses and fees in case any action is brought upon the contract by the association. These provisions shall be valid and enforceable in the courts of this state, and such clauses providing for liquidated damages shall be enforceable as such, and shall not be regarded as penalties.
B. In the event of any breach or threatened breach of such bylaws or marketing contract by a member or other person, the association shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent the breach or further breach of the bylaws or contract, and to specific performance relative thereto. Pending the adjudication of such an action and upon the filing a verified complaint showing the breach or threatened breach, together with a bond in the sum of one hundred dollars, the association shall be entitled to an injunction against the member or other person, provided, however, that the court in its discretion, may increase such bond to five hundred dollars, after a hearing, on five days notice to the parties.
