14.       Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate on the Return Date.  Lessor reserves the right to terminate this Agreement earlier upon notice to Lessee. In the event Lessee terminates this Agreement at any time prior to the End Date, for any reason other than material breach by Lessor, Lessee agrees to pay Lessor a termination charge (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) which will include all non-recurring fees and charges reasonably incurred by Lessor on Lessee’s behalf, and the full amount of the remaining monthly lease charges due for the remainder of the Term.

15.       Indemnification and Liability.  Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor from and against any claim, demand, cause of action, loss or liability (including attorney’s fees and expenses of litigation) for (a) any property damage, bodily injury, personal injury or death arising from Lessee’s use or operation of the Equipment by any cause, except to the extent caused by Owner’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and (b) Lessee’s willful misconduct, fraud, misrepresentation, or willful violation of law. The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement with respect to any claims or liability accruing before such termination. IN NO EVENT SHALL LESSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM LESSEE’S USE OF EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS PROFITS AND LOSS REVENUE, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

16.       Ownership.  Lessor shall at all times retain ownership and title to the Equipment. Lessee acquires no ownership, title, property, right, equity or interest in the Equipment other than Lessee’s leasehold interest solely as lessee subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor in the event the Equipment is levied, has a lien attached or is threatened with seizure. Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless against all loss and damages caused by such action. The Equipment shall be deemed at all times to be personal property and not a fixture under applicable law, whether or not it may be attached to any other property.

17.       Inspection.  Lessee shall permit Lessor (through any of its officers, employees or agents) on reasonable notice to inspect the Equipment during regular business hours. Unless Lessee is in default, Lessee has no obligation to permit Lessor to conduct more than one (1) inspection every six (6) months for the Equipment.

18.       Waiver.  No failure or delay of Lessor to exercise or enforce any of its rights under this Agreement shall act as a waiver, and the waiver of any breach shall not act as a waiver of subsequent breaches. Owner’s acceptance of payment with knowledge of a default by Lessee shall not constitute a waiver of any breach. No waiver under this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party waiving its right.

19.       Severability.  In the event any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. The Parties further agree that in the event such provision is an essential part of this Agreement, they will begin negotiations for a suitable replacement provision.

20.       Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, including and together with all related schedules, represents the entire understanding of the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and prevails over any prior or contemporaneous, conflicting or additional communications, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both oral and written, with respect to such subject matter. This Agreement shall be modified only by a written amendment signed by both Parties.

21.       Assignment.  Lessee may not, without the prior written consent of Owner, transfer or assign any of its rights under this Agreement. Any attempt to do so in violation of this Section 20 shall be a material default of this Agreement and shall be null and void.

22.       Headings.  Paragraph headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not be used or relied upon in the interpretation of this Agreement.

23.       Counterparts.  This Agreement, and any amendment thereof, may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission is deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

24.       Support.  During the Term, Lessor will use reasonable efforts to enroll Lessee in any service provided by the manufacturer of the Equipment, as if Lessee originally purchased the Equipment.

25. By signing this form you give STATDDS, LLC. permission to charge the provided credit card for agreed upon goods and services.
