(a) Accrued and unpaid rent as of the date of the commencement of the term of the new lease agreement;

(b) 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

(c) Any incidental damages allowed under NRS 104A.2530, 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, 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 NRS 104A.2528 governs.
