(a) A lessee that pays all or a part of the rent or security for goods identified to the lease contract, whether or not the goods have been shipped, on making and keeping good a tender of any unpaid portion of the rent and security due under the lease contract, has a right to recover the goods from the lessor if the lessor repudiates or fails to deliver as required by the lease contract.

(b) A lessee may recover from the lessor by replevin, detinue, sequestration, claim and delivery, or the like, goods identified to the lease contract if, after reasonable efforts, the lessee is unable to effect cover for the goods or the circumstances reasonably indicate that an effort to obtain cover would be unavailing.
