(2) A promise that has become irrevocable and independent under subsection (1) of this section:
(a) Is effective and enforceable between the parties, and by or against third parties including assignees of the parties; and
(b) Is not subject to cancellation, termination, modification, repudiation, excuse or substitution without the consent of the party to whom the promise runs.
(3) This section shall not affect the validity under any other law of a covenant in any lease contract making the lessee’s promises irrevocable and independent upon the lessee’s acceptance of the goods. [1989 c.676 §47]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5010 - Default; procedure.

(1) Whether the lessor or the lessee is in default under a lease contract is determined by the lease agreement and this chapter.
(2) If the lessor or the lessee is in default under the lease contract, the party seeking enforcement has rights and remedies as provided in this chapter and, except as limited by this chapter, as provided in the lease agreement.
(3) If the lessor or the lessee is in default under the lease contract, the party seeking enforcement may reduce the party’s claim to judgment, or otherwise enforce the lease contract by self-help or any available judicial procedure or nonjudicial procedure, including administrative proceeding, arbitration, or the like, in accordance with this chapter.
(4) Except as otherwise provided in ORS 71.3050 (1), this chapter or the lease agreement, the rights and remedies referred to in subsections (2) and (3) of this section are cumulative.
(5) If the lease agreement covers both real property and goods, the party seeking enforcement may proceed under ORS 72A.5010 to 72A.5310 as to the goods, or under other applicable law as to both the real property and the goods in accordance with that party’s rights and remedies in respect of the real property, in which case ORS 72A.5010 to 72A.5310 do not apply. [1989 c.676 §48; 1993 c.646 §8; 2009 c.181 §37]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5020 - Notice after default.

Except as otherwise provided in this chapter or the lease agreement, the lessor or lessee in default under the lease contract is not entitled to notice of default or notice of enforcement from the other party to the lease agreement. [1989 c.676 §49]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5030 - Modification or impairment of rights and remedies.

(1) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the lease agreement may include rights and remedies for default in addition to or in substitution for those provided in this chapter and may limit or alter the measure of damages recoverable under this chapter.
(2) Resort to a remedy provided under this chapter or in the lease agreement is optional unless the remedy is expressly agreed to be exclusive. If circumstances cause an exclusive or limited remedy to fail of its essential purpose, or provision for an exclusive remedy is unconscionable, remedy may be had as provided in this chapter.
(3) Consequential damages may be liquidated under ORS 72A.5040, or may otherwise be limited, altered or excluded unless the limitation, alteration or exclusion is unconscionable. Limitation, alteration or exclusion of consequential damages for injury to the person in the case of consumer goods is prima facie unconscionable but limitation, alteration or exclusion of damages where the loss is commercial is not prima facie unconscionable.
(4) Rights and remedies on default by the lessor or the lessee with respect to any obligation or promise collateral or ancillary to the lease contract are not impaired by this chapter. [1989 c.676 §50; 1993 c.646 §9]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5040 - Liquidation of damages.

(1) Damages payable by either party for default, or any other act or omission, including indemnity for loss or diminution of anticipated tax benefits or loss or damage to the lessor’s residual interest, may be liquidated in the lease agreement but only at an amount or by a formula that is reasonable in light of the then anticipated harm caused by the default or other act or omission. A provision in the lease agreement which states that damages in the event of the lessee’s default and the lessor’s sale of the goods include, in addition to costs payable to third parties, any past due amounts plus the sum of the present value of future rentals, the lessor’s costs of enforcing the lease, the lessor’s reasonably predictable residual at expiration, reasonable compensation for any loss of tax benefits, or an equivalent amount, and any other damages suffered or to be suffered by the lessor because of the lessee’s default, less the net proceeds of sale, is reasonable.
(2) If the lease agreement provides for liquidation of damages, and such provision does not comply with subsection (1) of this section, or such provision is an exclusive or limited remedy that circumstances cause to fail of its essential purpose, remedy may be had as provided in this chapter.
(3) If the lessor justifiably withholds or stops delivery of goods because of the lessee’s default or insolvency under ORS 72A.5250 or 72A.5260, the lessee is entitled to restitution of any amount by which the sum of the lessee’s payments exceeds:
(a) The amount to which the lessor is entitled by virtue of terms liquidating the lessor’s damages in accordance with subsection (1) of this section; or
(b) In the absence of those terms, 20 percent of the then present value of the total rent the lessee was obligated to pay for the balance of the lease term, or, in the case of a consumer lease, the lesser of such amount or $500.
(4) A lessee’s right to restitution under subsection (3) of this section is subject to offset to the extent the lessor establishes:
(a) A right to recover damages under the provisions of this chapter other than subsection (1) of this section; and
(b) The amount or value of any benefits received by the lessee directly or indirectly by reason of the lease contract. [1989 c.676 §51]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5050 - Cancellation and termination and effect of cancellation, termination, rescission or fraud on rights and remedies.

(1) On cancellation of the lease contract, all obligations that are still executory on both sides are discharged, but any right based on prior default or performance survives, and the canceling party also retains any remedy for default of the whole lease contract or any unperformed balance.
(2) On termination of the lease contract, all obligations that are still executory on both sides are discharged but any right based on prior default or performance survives.
(3) Unless the contrary intention clearly appears, expressions of "cancellation," "rescission" or the like of the lease contract may not be construed as a renunciation or discharge of any claim in damages for an antecedent default.
(4) Rights and remedies for material misrepresentation or fraud include all rights and remedies available under this chapter for default.
(5) Neither rescission nor a claim for rescission of the lease contract nor rejection or return of the goods may bar or be considered inconsistent with a claim for damages or other right or remedy. [1989 c.676 §52]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5060 - Statute of limitations.

(1) An action for default under a lease contract, including breach of warranty or indemnity, must be commenced within four years after the cause of action accrued. By the original lease contract the parties may reduce the period of limitation to not less than two years.
(2) A cause of action for default accrues when the act or omission on which the default or breach of warranty is based is or should have been discovered by the aggrieved party, or when the default occurs, whichever is later. 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) of this section 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 chapter becomes effective. [1989 c.676 §53]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5070 - Proof of market rent; time and place.

(1) Damages based on market rent under ORS 72A.5190 or 72A.5280 are determined according to the rent for the use of the goods concerned for a lease term identical to the remaining lease term of the original lease agreement and prevailing at the time of the default.
(2) If evidence of rent for the use of the goods concerned for a lease term identical to the remaining lease term of the original lease agreement and prevailing at the times or places described in this chapter is not readily available, the rent prevailing within any reasonable time before or after the time described or at any other place or for a different lease term which in commercial judgment or under usage of trade would serve as a reasonable substitute for the one described may be used, making any proper allowance for the difference, including the cost of transporting the goods to or from the other place.
(3) Evidence of a relevant rent prevailing at a time or place or for a lease term other than the one described in this chapter offered by one party is not admissible unless and until one party has given the other party notice the court finds sufficient to prevent unfair surprise.
(4) If the prevailing rent or value of any goods regularly leased in any established market is in issue, reports in official publications, trade journals, newspapers or periodicals of general circulation published as the reports of that market are admissible in evidence. The circumstances of the preparation of the report may be shown to affect its weight but not its admissibility. [1989 c.676 §54]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5080 - Lessee’s remedies.

(1) If a lessor fails to deliver the goods in conformity to the lease contract as provided in ORS 72A.5090 or repudiates the lease contract as provided in ORS 72A.4020, or a lessee rightfully rejects the goods as provided in ORS 72A.5090 or justifiably revokes acceptance of the goods as provided in ORS 72A.5170, then with respect 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 as provided in ORS 72A.5100, the lessor is in default under the lease contract and the lessee may:
(a) Cancel the lease contract under ORS 72A.5050;
(b) Recover so much of the rent and security as has been paid and is just under the circumstances;
(c) Cover and recover damages as to all goods affected whether or not they have been identified to the lease contract under ORS 72A.5180 and 72A.5200, or recover damages for nondelivery under ORS 72A.5190 and 72A.5200; or
(d) Exercise any other rights or pursue any other remedies provided in the lease contract.
(2) If a lessor fails to deliver the goods in conformity to the lease contract or repudiates the lease contract, the lessee may also:
(a) If the goods have been identified, recover them under ORS 72A.5220; or
(b) In a proper case, obtain specific performance or replevy the goods under ORS 72A.5210.
(3) If a lessor is otherwise in default under a lease contract, the lessee may exercise the rights and pursue the remedies provided in the lease contract, which may include a right to cancel the lease, and in ORS 72A.5190 (3).
(4) If a lessor has breached a warranty, whether express or implied, the lessee may recover damages under ORS 72A.5190.
(5) On rightful rejection or justifiable revocation of acceptance, a lessee has a security interest in goods in the lessee’s possession or control for any rent and security that has been paid and any expenses reasonably incurred in their inspection, receipt, transportation, care and custody and may hold those goods and dispose of them in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, subject to ORS 72A.5270.
(6) Subject to the provisions of ORS 72A.4070, a lessee, on notifying the lessor of the lessee’s intention to do so, may deduct all or any part of the damages resulting from any default under the lease contract from any part of the rent still due under the same lease contract. [1989 c.676 §55; 1993 c.646 §10]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5090 - Lessee’s rights on improper delivery; rightful rejection.

(1) Subject to the provisions of ORS 72A.5100 on default in installment lease contracts, if the goods or the tender or delivery fail in any respect to conform to the lease contract, the lessee may reject or accept the goods or accept any commercial unit or units and reject the rest of the goods.
(2) Rejection of goods is ineffective unless it is within a reasonable time after tender or delivery of the goods and the lessee seasonably notifies the lessor. [1989 c.676 §56]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5100 - 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. However, if the nonconformity does not fall within subsection (2) of this section 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. However, 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. [1989 c.676 §57]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5110 - Merchant lessee’s duties as to rightfully rejected goods.

(1) Subject to any security interest of a lessee under ORS 72A.5080, if a lessor or a supplier has no agent or place of business at the market of rejection, a merchant lessee, after rejection of goods in possession or control of the merchant lessee, shall follow any reasonable instructions received from the lessor or the supplier with respect to the goods. 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 or any other lessee disposes of goods, the lessee 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 ORS 72A.5120, the lessee is held only to good faith. Good faith conduct as described in this section 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 ORS 72A.5120 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 chapter. [1989 c.676 §58]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5120 - Lessee’s duties as to rightfully rejected goods.

(1) Except as otherwise provided in ORS 72A.5110 with respect to goods that threaten to decline in value speedily and subject to any security interest of a lessee under ORS 72A.5080:
(a) The lessee, after rejection of goods in the lessee’s possession, shall hold them with reasonable care at the lessor’s or the supplier’s disposition for a reasonable time after the lessee’s seasonable notification of rejection; and
(b) If the lessor or the supplier gives no instructions within a reasonable time after notification of rejection, the lessee may store the rejected goods for the lessor’s or the supplier’s account or ship them to the lessor or the supplier or dispose of them for the lessor’s or the supplier’s account with reimbursement in the manner provided in ORS 72A.5110.
(2) If the lessee complies with subsection (1) of this section, the lessee has no further obligations with regard to goods rightfully rejected.
(3) Action by the lessee pursuant to subsection (1) of this section is not acceptance or conversion. [1989 c.676 §59]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5130 - Cure by lessor of improper tender or delivery; replacement.

(1) If any tender or delivery by the lessor or the supplier is rejected because it is nonconforming and the time for performance has not yet expired, the lessor or the supplier may seasonably notify the lessee of the lessor’s or the supplier’s intention to cure and may then make a conforming delivery within the time provided in the lease contract.
(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 the lessor or the supplier seasonably notifies the lessee. [1989 c.676 §60]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5140 - 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 under ORS 72A.5130; 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 in the documents. [1989 c.676 §61; 2009 c.181 §38]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5150 - Acceptance of goods.

(1) Acceptance of goods occurs after the lessee has had a reasonable opportunity to inspect the goods and:
(a) The lessee signifies or acts with respect to the goods in a manner that signifies to the lessor or the supplier that the goods are conforming or that the lessee will take or retain them in spite of their nonconformity; or
(b) The lessee fails to make an effective rejection of the goods under ORS 72A.5090.
(2) Acceptance of a part of any commercial unit is acceptance of that entire unit. [1989 c.676 §62]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5160 - Effect of acceptance of goods; notice of default; burden of establishing default after acceptance; notice of claim or litigation to person answerable.

(1) A lessee must pay rent for any goods accepted in accordance with the lease contract, with due allowance for goods rightfully rejected or not delivered.
(2) A lessee’s acceptance of goods precludes rejection of the goods accepted. In the case of a finance lease, if made with knowledge of a nonconformity, acceptance cannot be revoked because of it. In any other case, if made with knowledge of a nonconformity, acceptance cannot be revoked because of it unless the acceptance was on the reasonable assumption that the nonconformity would be seasonably cured. Acceptance does not of itself impair any other remedy provided by this chapter or the lease agreement for nonconformity.
(3) If a tender has been accepted:
(a) Within a reasonable time after the lessee discovers or should have discovered any default, the lessee shall notify the lessor and the supplier, if any, or be barred from any remedy against the party not notified;
(b) Except in the case of a consumer lease, within a reasonable time after the lessee receives notice of litigation for infringement or the like, the lessee shall notify the lessor or be barred from any remedy over for liability established by the litigation; and
(c) The burden is on the lessee to establish any default.
(4) If a lessee is sued for breach of a warranty or other obligation for which a lessor or a supplier is answerable, the following apply:
(a) The lessee may give the lessor or the supplier, or both, written notice of the litigation. If the notice states that the person notified may come in and defend and that if the person notified does not do so that person will be bound in any action against that person by the lessee by any determination of fact common to the two litigations, then unless the person notified after seasonable receipt of the notice does come in and defend, that person is so bound.
(b) The lessor or the supplier may demand in writing that the lessee turn over control of the litigation including settlement if the claim is one for infringement or the like as provided in ORS 72A.2110 or else be barred from any remedy over. If the demand states that the lessor or the supplier agrees to bear all expense and to satisfy any adverse judgment, then unless the lessee after seasonable receipt of the demand does turn over control the lessee is so barred.
(5) Subsections (3) and (4) of this section apply to any obligation of a lessee to hold the lessor or the supplier harmless against infringement or the like. [1989 c.676 §63; 1993 c.646 §11]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5170 - Revocation of acceptance of goods.

(1) A lessee may revoke acceptance of a lot or commercial unit whose nonconformity substantially impairs its value to the lessee if the lessee has accepted it:
(a) Except in the case of a finance lease, on the reasonable assumption that its nonconformity would be cured and it has not been seasonably cured; or
(b) Without discovery of the nonconformity if the lessee’s acceptance was reasonably induced either by the lessor’s assurances or, except in the case of a finance lease, by the difficulty of discovery before acceptance.
(2) Except in the case of a finance lease that is not a consumer lease, a lessee may revoke acceptance of a lot or commercial unit if the lessor defaults under the lease contract and the default substantially impairs the value of that lot or commercial unit to the lessee.
(3) If the lease agreement so provides, the lessee may revoke acceptance of a lot or commercial unit because of other defaults by the lessor.
(4) Revocation of acceptance must occur within a reasonable time after the lessee discovers or should have discovered the ground for it and before any substantial change in condition of the goods which is not caused by the nonconformity. Revocation is not effective until the lessee notifies the lessor.
(5) A lessee who so revokes has the same rights and duties with regard to the goods involved as if the lessee had rejected them. [1989 c.676 §64; 1993 c.646 §12]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5180 - Cover; substitute goods.

(1) After a default by a lessor under the lease contract of the type described in ORS 72A.5080, 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 in ORS 72A.5030 with respect to damages liquidated in the lease agreement or otherwise determined pursuant to agreement of the parties under ORS 71.3020 and 72A.5030, 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:
(a) 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
(b) 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 ORS 72A.5190 governs. [1989 c.676 §65; 1993 c.646 §13; 2009 c.181 §39]
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 02 - Business Organizations, Commercial Code › Chapter 072A - Leases › Section 72A.5190 - Lessee’s damages for nondelivery, repudiation, default and breach of warranty in regard to accepted goods.

(1) Except as otherwise provided in ORS 72A.5030 with respect to damages liquidated in the lease agreement or otherwise determined pursuant to agreement of the parties under ORS 71.3020 and 72A.5030, if a lessee elects not to cover or a lessee elects to cover and the cover is by lease agreement that for any reason does not qualify for treatment under ORS 72A.5180, or is by purchase or otherwise, the measure of damages for nondelivery or repudiation by the lessor or for rejection or revocation of acceptance by the lessee is the present value, as of the date of the default, of the then market rent minus the present value as of the same date of the original rent, computed for the remaining lease term of the original lease agreement, together with incidental and consequential damages, less expenses saved in consequence of the lessor’s default.
(2) Market rent is to be determined as of the place for tender or, in cases of rejection after arrival or revocation of acceptance, as of the place of arrival.
(3) Except as otherwise agreed, if the lessee has accepted goods and given notification under ORS 72A.5160, the measure of damages for nonconforming tender or delivery or other default by a lessor is the loss resulting in the ordinary course of events from the lessor’s default as determined in any manner that is reasonable together with incidental and consequential damages, less expenses saved in consequence of the lessor’s default.
(4) Except as otherwise agreed, the measure of damages for breach of warranty is the present value at the time and place of acceptance of the difference between the value of the use of the goods accepted and the value if they had been as warranted for the lease term, unless special circumstances show proximate damages of a different amount, together with incidental and consequential damages, less expenses saved in consequence of the lessor’s default or breach of warranty.

(1) Incidental damages resulting from a lessor’s default include expenses reasonably incurred in inspection, receipt, transportation, and care and custody of goods rightfully rejected or goods the acceptance of which is justifiably revoked, any commercially reasonable charges, expenses or commissions in connection with effecting cover and any other reasonable expense incident to the default.
(2) Consequential damages resulting from a lessor’s default include:
(a) Any loss resulting from general or particular requirements and needs of which the lessor at the time of contracting had reason to know and which could not reasonably be prevented by cover or otherwise; and
(b) Injury to person or property proximately resulting from any breach of warranty. [1989 c.676 §67]

(1) A judgment requiring specific performance may be entered if the goods are unique or in other proper circumstances.
(2) A judgment for specific performance may include any terms and conditions as to payment of the rent, damages or other relief that the court considers just.

(2) Except as otherwise provided with respect to damages liquidated in the lease agreement as provided in ORS 72A.5040 or otherwise determined pursuant to agreement of the parties as provided in ORS 71.3020 and 72A.5030, if the disposition is by 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 lessor may recover from the lessee, as damages, accrued and unpaid rent as of the date of the commencement of the term of the new lease agreement, the present value, as of the same date, of the total rent for the then remaining lease term of the original lease agreement minus the present value, as of the same date, 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, and any incidental damages allowed under ORS 72A.5300, less expenses saved in consequence of the lessee’s default.
(3) If the lessor’s disposition is by lease agreement that for any reason does not qualify for treatment under subsection (2) of this section or is by sale or otherwise, the lessor may recover from the lessee as if the lessor had elected not to dispose of the goods and ORS 72A.5280 governs.
(4) A subsequent buyer or lessee who buys or leases from the lessor in good faith for value as a result of a disposition under this section takes the goods free of the original lease contract and any rights of the original lessee even though the lessor fails to comply with one or more of the requirements of this chapter.

(1) After default by the lessee under the lease contract of the type described in ORS 72A.5230, or, if agreed after other default by the lessee, if the lessor complies with subsection (2) of this section, the lessor may recover from the lessee as damages:

(B) The present value as of the same date of the rent for the then remaining lease term of the lease agreement; and
(C) Any incidental damages allowed under ORS 72A.5300, less expenses saved in consequence of the lessee’s default; and
(b) 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, accrued and unpaid rent as of the date of entry of judgment in favor of the lessor, the present value as of the same date of the rent for the then remaining lease term of the lease agreement and any incidental damages allowed under ORS 72A.5300, less expenses saved in consequence of the lessee’s default.

(3) The lessor may dispose of the goods at any time before collection of the judgment for damages obtained pursuant to subsection (1) of this section. If the disposition is before the end of the remaining lease term of the lease agreement, the lessor’s recovery against the lessee for damages is governed by ORS 72A.5270 or 72A.5280, and the lessor will cause an appropriate credit to be provided against a judgment for damages to the extent that the amount of the judgment exceeds the recovery available pursuant to ORS 72A.5270 or 72A.5280.
(4) Payment of the judgment for damages obtained pursuant to subsection (1) of this section entitles the lessee to the use and possession of the goods not then disposed of for the remaining lease term of and in accordance with the lease agreement.
(5) After a lessee has wrongfully rejected or revoked acceptance of goods, has failed to pay rent then due or has repudiated as provided in ORS 72A.4020, a lessor who is held not entitled to rent under this section must nevertheless be awarded damages for nonacceptance under ORS 72A.5270 and 72A.5280.

(1) If a third party so deals with goods that have been identified to a lease contract as to cause actionable injury to a party to the lease contract, the lessor has a right of action against the third party and the lessee also has a right of action against the third party if the lessee:
