(a) For a commercially reasonable time await performance by the repudiating party; or

(b) Resort to any remedy for breach (§ 6A-2-703 or 6A-2-711), even though he or she has notified the repudiating party that he or she would await the latter’s performance and has urged retraction; and

(c) In either case suspend his or her own performance or proceed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter on the seller’s right to identify goods to the contract notwithstanding breach or to salvage unfinished goods (§ 6A-2-704).
