Title 13 - COMMERCIAL CODE
Chapter 2A5 - Default
Section 2A503 - Modification or impairment of rights and remedies

     § 2A503.  Modification or impairment of rights and remedies.
        (a)  Provisions in lease agreements.--Except as otherwise
     provided in this division, the lease agreement may include
     rights and remedies for default in addition to or in
     substitution for those provided in this division and may limit
     or alter the measure of damages recoverable under this division.
        (b)  Specified remedy construed as optional.--Resort to a
     remedy provided under this division or in the lease agreement is
     optional unless the remedy is expressly agreed to be exclusive.
     If circumstances cause an exclusive or limited remedy to fail of
     its essential purpose, or provision for an exclusive remedy is
     unconscionable, remedy may be had as provided in this division.
        (c)  Consequential damages.--Consequential damages may be
     liquidated under section 2A504 (relating to liquidation of
     damages), or may otherwise be limited, altered or excluded
     unless the limitation, alteration or exclusion is
     unconscionable. Limitation, alteration or exclusion of
     consequential damages for injury to the person in the case of
     consumer goods is prima facie unconscionable but limitation,
     alteration or exclusion of damages where the loss is commercial
     is not prima facie unconscionable.
        (d)  Other rights and remedies unimpaired.--Rights and
     remedies on default by the lessor or the lessee with respect to
     any obligation or promise collateral or ancillary to the lease
     contract are not impaired by this division.
