(1) terminate and thereby discharge any unexecuted portion of the contract; or

(2) modify the contract by agreeing to take his available quota in substitution.

(c) Effect of agreement on section.--The provisions of this section may not be negated by agreement except insofar as the seller has assumed a greater obligation under section 2615.
