PURCHASER specifically agrees that Section 1 is a material term of this contract and is part of the consideration offered to STATE in return for STATE's performance. In the event that any federal law or state constitutional provision or law or any provision of this contract concerning export of unprocessed timber is declared invalid by any court or administrative tribunal, PURCHASER agrees to pay to STATE a contingent price in the amount of the difference between the purchase price set forth in this section and the price obtained by PURCHASER for the exported unprocessed timber. The default provisions of OAR 629-032-0000 through 629-032-0070 shall not apply to exported unprocessed timber. In the event that timber made available under this contract is exported in violation of this contract, PURCHASER shall be in material breach of the contract. STATE shall be entitled to cease performance of the contract and recover, in addition to the adjusted price set out above, a further sum estimated to compensate for administrative expense and the economic impact of the violation upon the State and its citizens. In no case shall this additional amount be less than $10,000 per incident.
