The by-laws or the marketing contract of any association existing hereunder may fix, as liquidated damages, specific sums to be paid by the member or stockholder to the association upon the breach or threatened 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. Such provisions shall be valid and enforceable in the courts of this State, and the clauses providing for liquidated damages shall be enforceable and shall not be regarded as penalties.
In the event of any breach or threatened breach of a 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 contract, and to a decree of specific performance thereof. Pending the adjudication of the action and upon filing a verified complaint showing the breach or threatened breach, and upon filing a bond in the sum of one hundred dollars, the association shall be entitled to an injunction against the member or other person. The officiating judge may increase the bond to five hundred dollars after a hearing on five days notice to the parties, if justice demands the increase in the amount of the bond.
