in commutative contracts, where the reciprocal obligations are to be performed at the same time, or the one immediately after the other, the party, who wishes to put the other in default, must, at the time and place expressed in, or implied in, the agreement, offer or perform, as the contract requires, that which on his part was to be performed, or the opposite party will not be legally put in default.
