In the absence of explicit agreement, identification occurs:  (1)  when  the  lease  contract is made if the lease contract is for a lease of goods that are existing and identified;  (2) when the goods are shipped, marked, or otherwise designated by the lessor as goods to  which  the  lease  contract  refers,  if  the  lease contract  is  for a lease of goods that are not existing and identified; or  (3) when the young are conceived, if the lease contract is for a lease of unborn young of animals.
NY UCC § 2-A-218 (2021)
2021 New York Laws UCC - Uniform Commercial Code Article 2-A - Leases Part 2 - Formation and Construction of Lease Contract 2-A-218 - Insurance and Proceeds.

Section 2-A-218. Insurance and Proceeds.  (1)  A  lessee  obtains  an insurable interest when existing goods are identified to the lease contract even though the  goods  identified  are nonconforming and the lessee has an option to reject them.  (2)  If  a  lessee  has  an  insurable  interest only by reason of the lessor's identification of the  goods,  the  lessor,  until  default  or insolvency  or  notification to the lessee that identification is final, may substitute other goods for those identified.  (3) Notwithstanding a lessee's insurable  interest  under  subsections (1) and (2), the lessor retains an insurable interest until an option to buy  has been exercised by the lessee and risk of loss has passed to the lessee.  (4) Nothing in this section impairs any insurable interest  recognized under any other statute or rule of law.  (5)  The  parties  by agreement may determine that one or more parties have an obligation to obtain and pay for insurance  covering  the  goods and  by  agreement  may determine the beneficiary of the proceeds of the insurance.
NY UCC § 2-A-219 (2021)
2021 New York Laws UCC - Uniform Commercial Code Article 2-A - Leases Part 2 - Formation and Construction of Lease Contract 2-A-219 - Risk of Loss.

Section 2-A-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 2-A-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 moved, the  risk  of  loss  passes  to  the  lessee  on            acknowledgment  by  the  bailee  of  the  lessee's  right  to            possession of the goods.       (c) in any case not within paragraph (a) or (b), the risk of loss            passes to the lessee on the lessee's receipt of the goods  if            the lessor, or, in the case of a finance lease, the supplier,            is  a  merchant;  otherwise  the risk passes to the lessee on            tender of delivery.

2021 New York Laws UCC - Uniform Commercial Code Article 2-A - Leases Part 2 - Formation and Construction of Lease Contract 2-A-220 - Effect of Default on Risk of Loss.

Section 2-A-220. Effect of Default on Risk of Loss.  (1)  Where  risk  of  loss  is  to  pass to the lessee and the time of passage is not stated:       (a) if a tender or delivery of goods so fails to conform  to  the            lease  contract  as to give a right of rejection, the risk of            their loss remains with the lessor, or,  in  the  case  of  a            finance lease, the supplier, until cure or acceptance.       (b) if  the  lessee  rightfully revokes acceptance, he or she, to            the  extent  of  any  deficiency  in  his  or  her  effective            insurance  coverage,  may  treat  the  risk of loss as having            remained with the lessor from the beginning.  (2) Whether or not risk of loss is to  pass  to  the  lessee,  if  the lessee  as  to  conforming  goods already identified to a lease contract repudiates or is otherwise in default  under  the  lease  contract,  the lessor,  or, in the case of a finance lease, the supplier, to the extent of any deficiency in his or her effective insurance coverage  may  treat the  risk of loss as resting on the lessee for a commercially reasonable time.

If  a lease contract requires goods identified when the lease contract is made, and the goods suffer casualty without fault of the lessee,  the lessor  or  the  supplier  before delivery, or the goods suffer casualty before risk of loss passes to the lessee pursuant to the lease agreement or Section 2-A-219, then:  (1) if the loss is total, the lease contract is avoided; and  (2) if the loss is partial or the goods have so deteriorated as to  no longer conform to the lease contract, the lessee may nevertheless demand inspection  and  at his or her option either treat the lease contract as avoided or, except in a finance lease that  is  not  a  consumer  lease, accept  the  goods  with  due  allowance  from  the rent payable for the balance of the lease term for the deterioration  or  the  deficiency  in quantity but without further right against the lessor.

(2) A subsequent lessee in the ordinary  course  of  business  from  a lessor who is a merchant dealing in goods of that kind to whom the goods were  entrusted  by a prior lessee before the interest of the subsequent lessee became enforceable against that lessor obtains, to the extent  of the  leasehold  interest transferred, all of that lessor's and the prior lessee's rights to the goods  and  takes  free  of  the  existing  lease contract.  (3)  A  subsequent lessee from the lessor of goods that are subject to an existing lease contract and are covered by  a  certificate  of  title issued under a statute of this state or of another jurisdiction takes no greater  rights  than  those  provided  both  by this section and by the certificate of title statute.

(2) A buyer in the ordinary course of business or a sublessee  in  the ordinary  course  of business from a lessee who is a merchant dealing in goods of that kind to whom  the  goods  were  entrusted  by  the  lessor obtains,  to the extent of the interest transferred, all of the lessor's and lessee's rights to the goods, and takes free of the  existing  lease contract.  (3)  A buyer or sublessee from the lessee of goods that are subject to an existing lease contract and are covered by  a  certificate  of  title issued under a statute of this state or of another jurisdiction takes no greater  rights  than  those  provided  both  by this section and by the certificate of title statute.

(3) Except as otherwise  provided  in  Sections  9--317,  9--321,  and 9--323,  a  lessee  takes  a  leasehold  interest  subject to a security interest held by a creditor of the lessor.

Section 2-A-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 (a) becomes enforceable, not in current course of trade but in satisfaction of or as security for a  preexisting claim  for  money,  security,  or  the  like,  and  (b)  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  contract  entered  into  by the seller as lessee and the buyer as lessor in connection with the sale or identification of the goods is not fraudulent if the buyer bought for value and in good faith.

Section 2-A-310. Lessor's   and   Lessee's   Rights  When  Goods  Become                    Accessions.  (1) Goods are "accessions" when they are installed in  or  affixed  to other goods.  (2)  The  interest  of  a  lessor  or  a lessee under a lease contract entered into before the goods  became  accessions  is  superior  to  all interests in the whole except as stated in subsection (4).  (3)  The  interest  of  a  lessor  or  a lessee under a lease contract entered into at the  time  or  after  the  goods  became  accessions  is superior  to  all subsequently acquired interests in the whole except as stated in subsection (4) but is subordinate to interests  in  the  whole existing  at  the time the lease contract was made unless the holders of such interests in the whole have in writing consented to  the  lease  or disclaimed an interest in the goods as part of the whole.  (4)  The  interest  of  a  lessor  or  a lessee under a lease contract described in subsection (2) or (3) is subordinate to the interest of:       (a) a buyer in the ordinary course of business or a lessee in the            ordinary course of business of  any  interest  in  the  whole            acquired after the goods became accessions; or       (b) a  creditor  with  a security interest in the whole perfected            before the lease contract was made to  the  extent  that  the            creditor  makes  subsequent advances without knowledge of the            lease contract.  (5) When under subsections (2) or (3) and (4) a lessor or a lessee  of accessions  holds  an  interest that is superior to all interests in the whole, the  lessor  or  the  lessee  may  (a)  on  default,  expiration, termination,  or  cancellation  of the lease contract by the other party but subject to the provisions of the lease contract and this Article, or (b) if necessary to enforce his or her other rights and  remedies  under this  Article,  remove  the  goods from the whole, free and clear of all interests in the whole, but he or she must reimburse any  holder  of  an interest  in  the  whole who is not the lessee and who has not otherwise agreed for the cost of repair of any physical injury  but  not  for  any diminution  in  value  of  the  whole caused by the absence of the goods removed or by any necessity for replacing them.

Section 2-A-401. Insecurity: Adequate Assurance of Performance.

(2) If reasonable grounds for insecurity arise  with  respect  to  the performance  of  either  party, the insecure party may demand in writing adequate assurance of due performance. Until the insecure party receives that assurance,  if  commercially  reasonable  the  insecure  party  may suspend any performance for which he or she has not already received the agreed return.  (3)  A  repudiation  of  the lease contract occurs if assurance of due performance adequate under the circumstances of the particular  case  is not  provided  to  the  insecure  party within a reasonable time, not to exceed thirty days after receipt of a demand by the other party.  (4) Between merchants, the reasonableness of  grounds  for  insecurity and  the  adequacy of any assurance offered must be determined according to commercial standards.  (5) Acceptance of any  nonconforming  delivery  or  payment  does  not prejudice  the  aggrieved  party's right to demand adequate assurance of future performance.

Section 2-A-402. Anticipatory Repudiation.   If  either  party  repudiates  a  lease  contract  with  respect  to a performance not yet due under the lease  contract,  the  loss  of  which performance will substantially impair the value of the lease contract to the other, the aggrieved party may:  (1)   for   a   commercially  reasonable  time,  await  retraction  of repudiation and performance by the repudiating party;  (2) make demand pursuant to Section 2-A-401  and  await  assurance  of future  performance  adequate  under the circumstances of the particular case; or  (3) resort to any  right  or  remedy  upon  default  under  the  lease contract  or  this Article, even though the aggrieved party has notified the  repudiating  party  that  the  aggrieved  party  would  await   the repudiating  party's performance and assurance and has urged retraction. In addition, whether or not the aggrieved party is pursuing one  of  the foregoing  remedies,  the aggrieved party may suspend performance or, if the aggrieved party is  the  lessor,  proceed  in  accordance  with  the provisions  of  this  Article on the lessor's right to identify goods to the lease contract notwithstanding  default  or  to  salvage  unfinished goods (Section 2-A-524).

(1)  Until  the  repudiating  party's  next  performance  is  due, the repudiating  party  can  retract  the  repudiation  unless,  since   the repudiation,  the  aggrieved  party  has  canceled the lease contract or materially changed the aggrieved party's position or otherwise indicated that the aggrieved party considers the repudiation final.  (2) Retraction may be by any method  that  clearly  indicates  to  the aggrieved  party that the repudiating party intends to perform under the lease  contract  and  includes  any  assurance  demanded  under  Section 2-A-401.  (3)  Retraction  reinstates a repudiating party's rights under a lease contract with due excuse and allowance to the aggrieved  party  for  any delay occasioned by the repudiation.

(2) If the agreed means or manner of payment fails because of domestic or foreign governmental regulation:       (a) the lessor  may  withhold  or  stop  delivery  or  cause  the            supplier  to  withhold  or  stop  delivery  unless the lessee            provides a means or manner of payment that is commercially  a            substantial equivalent; and       (b) if  delivery  has already been taken, payment by the means or            in the manner  provided  by  the  regulation  discharges  the            lessee's  obligation unless the regulation is discriminatory,            oppressive, or predatory.
