1.    An agreement for sale which is otherwise sufficiently definite (subsection 3 of section 41-02-11) to be a contract is not made invalid by the fact that it leaves particulars of performance to be specified by one of the parties. Any such specification must be made in good faith and within limits set by commercial reasonableness.
