7-2A-516
Section 7-2A-516 Effect of acceptance of goods; notice of default; burden of establishing default
after acceptance; notice of claim or litigation to person answerable over. (1) A lessee must
pay rent for any goods accepted in accordance with the lease contract, with due allowance
for goods rightfully rejected or not delivered. (2) A lessee's acceptance of goods precludes
rejection of the goods accepted. In the case of a finance lease, other than a consumer lease
in which the supplier assisted in the preparation of the lease contract or participated in
negotiating the terms of the lease contract with the lessor, if made with knowledge of a nonconformity,
acceptance cannot be revoked because of it. In any other case, if made with knowledge of a
nonconformity, acceptance cannot be revoked because of it unless the acceptance was on the
reasonable assumption that the nonconformity would be seasonably cured. Acceptance does not
of itself impair any other remedy provided by this article or...

7-2A-219
Section 7-2A-219 Risk of loss. (1) Except in the case of a finance lease, risk of loss is retained
by the lessor and does not pass to the lessee. In the case of a finance lease, risk of loss
passes to the lessee. (2) Subject to the provisions of this article on the effect of default
on risk of loss (Section 7-2A-220), if risk of loss is to pass to the lessee and the time
of passage is not stated, the following rules apply: (a) If the lease contract requires or
authorizes the goods to be shipped by carrier (i) and it does not require delivery at a particular
destination, the risk of loss passes to the lessee when the goods are duly delivered to the
carrier; but (ii) if it does require delivery at a particular destination and the goods are
there duly tendered while in the possession of the carrier, the risk of loss passes to the
lessee when the goods are there duly so tendered as to enable the lessee to take delivery.
(b) If the goods are held by a bailee to be delivered without being...

7-2A-308
Section 7-2A-308 Special rights of creditors. (1) A creditor of a lessor in possession of goods
subject to a lease contract may treat the lease contract as void if as against the creditor
retention of possession by the lessor is fraudulent under any statute or rule of law, but
retention of possession in good faith and current course of trade by the lessor for a commercially
reasonable time after the lease contract becomes enforceable is not fraudulent. (2) Nothing
in this article impairs the rights of creditors of a lessor if the lease contract is made
under circumstances which under any statute or rule of law apart from this article would constitute
the transaction a fraudulent transfer or voidable preference. (3) A creditor of a seller may
treat a sale or an identification of goods to a contract for sale as void if as against the
creditor retention of possession by the seller is fraudulent under any statute or rule of
law, but retention of possession of the goods pursuant to a lease...

Section 7-2A-406 Procedure on excused performance. (1) If the lessee receives notification
of a material or indefinite delay or an allocation justified under Section 7-2A-405, the lessee
may by written notification to the lessor as to any goods involved, and with respect to all
of the goods if under an installment lease contract the value of the whole lease contract
is substantially impaired (Section 7-2A-510): (a) terminate the lease contract (Section 7-2A-505(2));
or (b) except in a finance lease, modify the lease contract by accepting the available quota
in substitution, with due allowance from the rent payable for the balance of the lease term
for the deficiency but without further right against the lessor. (2) If, after receipt of
a notification from the lessor under Section 7-2A-405, the lessee fails so to modify the lease
agreement within a reasonable time not exceeding 30 days, the lease contract lapses with respect
to any deliveries affected. (Acts 1992, 2nd Ex. Sess., No....

7-2A-407
Section 7-2A-407 Irrevocable promises: Finance leases. (1) In the case of a finance lease that
is not a consumer lease the lessee's promises under the lease contract become irrevocable
and independent upon the lessee's acceptance of the goods. (2) A promise that has become irrevocable
and independent under subsection (1): (a) is effective and enforceable between the parties,
and by or against third parties including assignees of the parties; and (b) is not subject
to cancellation, termination, modification, repudiation, excuse, or substitution without the
consent of the party to whom the promise runs. (3) This section does not affect the validity
under any other law of a covenant in any lease contract making the lessee's promises irrevocable
and independent upon the lessee's acceptance of the goods. (Acts 1992, 2nd Ex. Sess., No.
92-700, p. 92, §407.)...

7-2A-511
Section 7-2A-511 Merchant lessee's duties as to rightfully rejected goods. (1) Subject to any
security interest of a lessee (Section 7-2A-508(5)), if a lessor or a supplier has no agent
or place of business at the market of rejection, a merchant lessee, after rejection of goods
in his or her possession or control, shall follow any reasonable instructions received from
the lessor or the supplier with respect to the goods. In the absence of those instructions,
a merchant lessee shall make reasonable efforts to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the
goods for the lessor's account if they threaten to decline in value speedily. Instructions
are not reasonable if on demand indemnity for expenses is not forthcoming. (2) If a merchant
lessee (subsection (1)) or any other lessee (Section 7-2A-512) disposes of goods, he or she
is entitled to reimbursement either from the lessor or the supplier or out of the proceeds
for reasonable expenses of caring for and disposing of the goods and, if the...

Section 7-2A-526 Lessor's stoppage of delivery in transit or otherwise. (1) A lessor may stop
delivery of goods in the possession of a carrier or other bailee if the lessor discovers the
lessee to be insolvent and may stop delivery of carload, truckload, planeload, or larger shipments
of express or freight if the lessee repudiates or fails to make a payment due before delivery,
whether for rent, security or otherwise under the lease contract, or for any other reason
the lessor has a right to withhold or take possession of the goods. (2) In pursuing its remedies
under subsection (1), the lessor may stop delivery until (a) receipt of the goods by the lessee;
(b) acknowledgment to the lessee by any bailee of the goods, except a carrier, that the bailee
holds the goods for the lessee; or (c) such an acknowledgment to the lessee by a carrier via

agreement (Section 7-2A-504) or otherwise determined pursuant to agreement of the parties
(Sections 7-1-302 and 7-2A-503), if a lessor elects to retain the goods or a lessor elects

Section 7-2A-531 Standing to sue third parties for injury to goods. (1) If a third party so
deals with goods that have been identified to a lease contract as to cause actionable injury
to a party to the lease contract (a) the lessor has a right of action against the third party,
and (b) the lessee also has a right of action against the third party if the lessee: (i) has
a security interest in the goods; (ii) has an insurable interest in the goods; or (iii) bears
the risk of loss under the lease contract or has since the injury assumed that risk as against
the lessor and the goods have been converted or destroyed. (2) If at the time of the injury

contract and there is no arrangement between them for disposition of the recovery, his or
her suit or settlement, subject to his or her own interest, is as a fiduciary for the other
party to the lease contract. (3) Either party with the consent of the...
