(a) The court may enter a decree for specific performance if the goods or the agreed performance of the defaulting party are unique or in other proper circumstances. In a lease other than a consumer lease, the court may enter a decree for specific performance if the parties have agreed to such remedy. However, even if the parties agree to specific performance, the court may not enter a decree for specific performance if the breaching party’s sole remaining contractual obligation is the payment of money.
