APPENDIX

A

 

DELAYED

PRICE AGREEMENT

 

DATE:__________________ 

Agreement No._______________

Commodities under

agreement:___________________________

      It is hereby

agreed that I, the undersigned seller, may from time to time, by my own choice,

sell and deliver to the undersigned buyer, agricultural commodities as listed

above, on which the price is to be established at a later date. I pledge that

the commodities delivered pursuant to this agreement shall be free of any lien

or encumbrance.

 

      In selling

commodities under this agreement, I, the seller, fully understand that I am

transferring title to the undersigned buyer upon delivery, and that after

delivery I am a creditor of the buyer for the market value of commodities so

delivered until the price is established and settlement is completed. If the

buyer defaults in his obligation for settlement I may be held to be a common

(unsecured) creditor of the buyer for the value of commodities not settled for.

 

      Upon demand by

the seller, the buyer is obligated to pay his regular bid price upon the date

of demand for the commodities being priced by the seller which have been

delivered under this agreement, less any service charge which is due and

payable to the buyer. The buyer shall pay the same price as he is bidding for

like commodities being delivered to him for sale on that date by other sellers.

 

      For services

rendered in connection with this agreement the seller shall be liable to the

buyer for delayed price charges as printed on the back of the scale ticket.

 

      Each scale

ticket, which is marked for delayed price, hereby becomes a part of this

agreement.
