ANSWERABLE OVER
(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 article 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;
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 12A. Uniform Commercial Code Page 269
(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 (Section 2A-
211 of this title) 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 over 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 (Section 2A-211 of this
title) 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 (Section 2A-211 of this title).
