In August 1995, Carl Merritt contacted RxP Prods., Inc. ("RxP") about selling "RxP Gas Kicker," a fuel additive, as a private-label product. The parties entered into an agreement, which stated, in its entirety:
This agreement is made on this 28th day of September, 1995, between RxP Products, Inc., hereafter referred to as RxP, and Merritt-Campbell, Incorporated, hereinafter referred to as Merritt-Campbell.
In consideration of the sum of ten dollars ($10.00), the receipt of which is acknowledged, RxP agrees to sell to Merritt-Campbell the product marketed as "RxP Gas Kicker" under the following terms:
1. RxP guarantees the following price to Merritt Campbell for a period of five (5) years from the date of first order.
a. RxP Gas Kicker bottled in 2.5 ounce quantities-$ 1.25 per bottle (excluding labels).

Said pricing may be increased only in the case of documented price increases to RxP for raw materials.

5. It is understood by RxP that it is the intention of Merritt-Campbell to market the product heretofore referred to as "RxP Gas Kicker" under a private label.
A dispute arose between the two parties. Merritt Campbell filed suit against RxP alleging that RxP had breached a requirements contract entered into bythe parties. Merritt-Campbell sought specific performance as a remedy. RxP responded that the contract did not satisfy the UCC Statute of Frauds because it failed to state a quantity term. Who is correct?
