(b) for goods identified to the lease contract where the lessor has never delivered the goods or has taken possession of them or the lessee has effectively tendered them back to the lessor, if the lessor is unable after reasonable effort to dispose of them at a reasonable price or the circumstances reasonably indicate that such an effort will be unavailing: (i) accrued and unpaid rent as of the date of entry of judgment in favor of the lessor; (ii) the present value as of the date determined under Subsection (1)(b)(i) of the rent for the then remaining lease term of the lease agreement; and (iii) any incidental damages allowed under Section 70A-2a-530, less expenses saved in consequence of the lessee's default.
