Ricky signs a two-year contract to play basketball for the Jolters for $100,000 per game. Right
before a big game, Ricky goes to the owner and says that he will not play unless the owner pays
him an additional $5,000 per game.
The owner, being desperate, agrees. Now the season is over,
Ricky demands his additional compensation, but the owner refuses to pay. Ricky sues. Most
likely:
A) Owner wins; Ricky was under a prior duty to play basketball, so Ricky's new promise is
not supported by consideration.
B) Ricky wins; this is a valid modification of an earlier contract.
C) Ricky wins; this is a case of a modification due to unforeseen circumstances, and the
modification is enforceable.
D) Owner wins; contracts can never be modified.
E) Ricky wins; this is a modification under the U.C.C. that needs no new consideration to be
enforceable.
