§ 518. § 2A—518.

• Cover; substitute goods (1) After a default by a lessor under the lease contract of the type described in section 2A—508(1) of this title, or, if agreed, after other default by the lessor, the lessee may cover by making
  any purchase or lease of or contract to purchase or lease goods in substitution for
  those due from the lessor. (2) Except as otherwise provided with respect to damages liquidated in the lease agreement (§ 2A—504) or otherwise determined pursuant to agreement of the parties (§§ 1—302 and 2A—503), if a lessee’s cover is by a lease agreement substantially similar to the original lease agreement and the new lease agreement is made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, the lessee may recover from the lessor as damages (i) the present value, as of the date of the commencement of the term of the new lease
  agreement, of the rent under the new lease agreement applicable to that period of
  the new lease term which is comparable to the then remaining term of the original
  lease agreement minus the present value as of the same date of the total rent for
  the then remaining lease term of the original lease agreement, and (ii) any incidental or consequential damages, less expenses saved in consequence of the
  lessor’s default. (3) If a lessee’s cover is by lease agreement that for any reason does not qualify for
  treatment under subsection (2) of this section, or is by purchase or otherwise, the
  lessee may recover from the lessor as if the lessee had elected not to cover and section 2A—519 of this title governs. (Added 1993, No. 158 (Adj. Sess.), § 10, eff. Jan. 1, 1995; amended 2007, No. 99 (Adj. Sess.), § 7.)
