C. Divisible. A contract is divisible if each party's performance can be divided into two or more parts
and if it appears that the parties to the contract contemplated separate compensation for each
installment of the performance. Failure to perform one installment is not failure to perform the entire
agreement. If the contract is divided into parts only to provide periodic payments toward the full
amount due upon contract completion, the contract is an entire contract, not a divisible one. When
possible, courts prefer to interpret contracts as divisible to avoid hardships that can result from
delaying payments under the contract until full performance has been completed.
