For goods accepted by the lessee and not repossessed by or tendered to the lessor, and for conforming goods lost or damaged within a commercially reasonable time after risk of loss passes to the lessee (section 2A219), ( i ) accrued and unpaid rent as of the date of entry of judgment in favor of the lessor, ( ii ) the present value as of the date of default of the rent for the then remaining lease term of the lease agreement, and ( iii ) any incidental damages allowed under section 2A530, less expenses saved in consequence of the lessee's default.

For goods identified to the lease contract if the lessor is unable after reasonable effort to dispose of them at a reasonable price or the circumstances reasonably indicate that effort will be unavailing, ( i ) accrued and unpaid rent as of the date of entry of judgment in favor of the lessor, ( ii ) the present value as of the same date of the rent for the then remaining lease term of the lease agreement, and ( iii ) any incidental damages allowed under section 2A530, less expenses saved in consequence of the lessee's default.
