   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3308
   U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Fargo   
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Colloton, Circuit Judge] Civil case - Contracts. As an option to terminate a lease, the lease's cancellation provision must be strictly construed and requires exact compliance, and when Smucker failed to terminate the parties' lease in accordance with the lease provision, the district court erred in finding it was unconscionable to enforce the lease given Smucker's substantial compliance with the termination provision; the harm Smucker would suffer was not so great as to rise the level of substantive unconscionability. Judge Colloton, dissenting.
