§ 2A—406. Procedure on excused performance
(1) If the lessee receives notification of a material or indefinite delay or an allocation
justified under section 2A—405 of this title, 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 (§ 2A—510):
(a) terminate the lease contract (§ 2A—505(2)); or
(b) except in a finance lease that is not a consumer 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 2A—405 of this title, 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. (Added 1993, No. 158 (Adj. Sess.), § 10, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.)
