Section 2-A-404. Substituted Performance.
(1) If without fault of the lessee, the lessor and the supplier, the
agreed berthing, loading, or unloading facilities fail or the agreed
type of carrier becomes unavailable or the agreed manner of delivery
otherwise becomes commercially impracticable, but a commercially
reasonable substitute is available, the substitute performance must be
tendered and accepted.
(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.
