The association and its members may make and execute marketing contracts, requiring the members to sell, for any period of time not over 10 years, all or any specified part of their agricultural products or specified commodities exclusively to or through the association or any facilities to be created by the association. The contract may provide that the association may sell or resell the products of its members, with or without taking title thereto, and pay over to its members the resale price, after deducting all necessary selling, overhead and other costs and expenses, including interest on preferred stock, not exceeding eight percent per annum, and reserves for retiring the stock, if any, and other proper reserves and interest not exceeding eight percent per annum upon common stock or other items deemed proper. The bylaws and the marketing contract may fix, as liquidated damages, specified sums to be paid by the member or stockholder to the association upon the breach by him of any provision of the marketing contract regarding the sale or delivery or withholding of products and may further provide that the member will pay all costs, premiums for bonds, expenses and fees in case any action is brought upon the contract by the association, and any such provisions shall be valid and enforceable in the courts of this state.
In the event of any such breach or threatened breach of such marketing contract by a member, the association shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent the further breach of the contract and to a judgment of specific performance thereof. Pending the adjudication of such an action, upon filing a verified complaint showing the breach or threatened breach, upon filing a sufficient bond and upon notification of the member and a hearing, the association shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the member.
