A  cause  of  action  for  indemnity accrues when the act or omission on which the claim for indemnity is based  is  or  should  have been discovered by the indemnified party, whichever is later.  (3)  If  an action commenced within the time limited by subsection (1) is so terminated as to leave available a remedy by  another  action  for the  same  default  or breach of warranty or indemnity, the other action may be commenced after the expiration of the time limited and within six months after the termination of the first action unless the  termination resulted  from voluntary discontinuance or from dismissal for failure or neglect to prosecute.  (4) This section does not alter the law on tolling of the  statute  of limitations  nor  does  it  apply  to causes of action that have accrued before this Article becomes effective.

Section 2-A-510. Installment Lease Contracts: Rejection and Default.  (1)  Under  an  installment  lease  contract  a  lessee may reject any delivery  that  is  nonconforming  if  the  nonconformity  substantially impairs  the  value  of  that  delivery  and  cannot  be  cured  or  the nonconformity is  a  defect  in  the  required  documents;  but  if  the nonconformity  does not fall within subsection (2) and the lessor or the supplier gives adequate assurance of its cure, the  lessee  must  accept that delivery.  (2)  Whenever  nonconformity  or  default  with respect to one or more deliveries substantially impairs the  value  of  the  installment  lease contract  as  a whole there is a default with respect to the whole. But, the aggrieved party reinstates the installment lease contract as a whole if  the  aggrieved  party  accepts  a  nonconforming  delivery   without seasonably  notifying  of  cancellation or brings an action with respect only to past deliveries or demands performance as to future deliveries.

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 2-A-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 expenses  include  no  disposition  commission, to such commission as is usual in the trade, or if  there  is  none,  to  a  reasonable  sum  not exceeding 10 percent of the gross proceeds.  (3)  In  complying with this section or Section 2-A-512, the lessee is held only to  good  faith.  Good  faith  conduct  hereunder  is  neither acceptance or conversion nor the basis of an action for damages.  (4)  A purchaser who purchases in good faith from a lessee pursuant to this section or Section 2-A-512 takes the goods free of  any  rights  of the  lessor and the supplier even though the lessee fails to comply with one or more of the requirements of this Article.

(2) If the lessee rejects a nonconforming tender that  the  lessor  or the  supplier had reasonable grounds to believe would be acceptable with or without money allowance, the  lessor  or  the  supplier  may  have  a further  reasonable  time to substitute a conforming tender if he or she seasonably notifies the lessee.

Section 2-A-514. Waiver of Lessee's Objections.  (1)  In  rejecting  goods,  a  lessee's  failure to state a particular defect that is ascertainable  by  reasonable  inspection  precludes  the lessee  from  relying on the defect to justify rejection or to establish default:       (a) if, stated seasonably, the lessor or the supplier could  have            cured it (Section 2-A-513); or       (b) between  merchants  if  the  lessor  or  the  supplier  after            rejection has made a request in writing for a full and  final            written statement of all defects on which the lessee proposes            to rely.  (2)  A  lessee's  failure  to reserve rights when paying rent or other consideration against documents precludes recovery of  the  payment  for defects apparent on the face of the documents.
