      4. In addition to DTN’s other rights and remedies under this Agreement, in the event the leased Equipment is lost, stolen, or not fully returned to DTN, (1) Customer must pay the remaining unpaid rental payments for the Equipment; and (2) DTN reserves the right to also charge a one-time amount of (A) eight hundred United States Dollars ($800.00 USD), or (B) the then-current market value, whichever amount is greater as determined by DTN in its sole and reasonable discretion.  Upon termination or expiration of the rental period applicable to the leased Equipment, and in addition to Customer’s other rights set forth in this Agreement, Customer will promptly return such leased Equipment in proper packaging, ordinary wear and tear excepted, to the following address (which may be updated by DTN by providing written notice to Customer):

   4. Survival.  In the event of any termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, all provisions of this Agreement whose meaning requires them to survive will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
   5. Effects of Termination.  Upon termination, each Party shall (i) immediately destroy or return to the other Party all of such other Party’s Confidential Information then in such Party’s possession, in accordance with Section 6(a); and (ii) promptly certify to the other Party that it has done so.  Termination of this Agreement shall operate to terminate all then-outstanding Orders.  The termination of this Agreement or Order shall not relieve Customer of its liability to pay any amounts due to DTN hereunder.  Upon the termination of this Agreement or any Order, all rights and licenses granted thereunder shall likewise terminate.  In case of Customer’s failure to pay the rental fees when due for any Equipment, or in the event of DTN’s termination of this Agreement or an Order in accordance with Section 8(b) or 8(c), DTN may take possession of the Equipment, with or without process of law (and for this purpose, may enter upon any premises of Customer without liability for suit, action, or other proceeding by Customer and remove the same), and thereupon all of Customer’s rights in the Equipment shall cease and terminate.  Any repossession or resale of any item of Equipment shall not bar an action for a deficiency by DTN against Customer, and the bringing of an action or the entry of judgment against Customer shall not bar DTN’s right to repossess any or all items of Equipment.
9. Indemnification.
   1. Customer.  Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold DTN (including its directors, officers, employees, licensors, suppliers, agents, successors and assigns) harmless from and against all actions, claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of (i) a breach by Customer of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement; (ii) any violation of applicable law by Customer; or (iii) any negligent act or omission, or intentional misconduct, of Customer.
   2. Indemnification Procedure.  The Party claiming indemnification shall: (i) notify the indemnifying Party of any claim in respect of which the indemnity may apply; (ii) relinquish control of the defense of the claim to the indemnifying Party; and (iii) provide the indemnifying Party with all assistance reasonably requested in defense of the claim.  The indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle any claim without the written consent of the indemnified Party so long as such settlement only involves the payment of money by the indemnifying Party and in no way affects any rights of the indemnified Party.
10. Limitation of Liability.
    1. Disclaimer of Damages.  SUBJECT TO SECTION 10(c), DTN SHALL NOT BE LIABLE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST DATA OR LOST PROFITS, COST OF CAPITAL, COST OF COVER, OR SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS, FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE EQUIPMENT OR THE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR WHETHER A PARTY HAD BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES.  THESE EXCLUSIONS SHALL APPLY EVEN IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.
    2. Monetary Cap.  SUBJECT TO SECTION 10(c), DTN’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CLAIMS, LOSSES, INJURIES, SUITS, DEMANDS, JUDGMENTS, LIABILITIES, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DAMAGES FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT), REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION OR LEGAL THEORY, MUST NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER UNDER THE APPLICABLE ORDER GIVING RISE TO SUCH ACTION DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.
    3. Gross Negligence and Willful Misconduct.  Nothing in this Agreement shall limit DTN’s liability: (i) for fraud; (ii) for its gross negligence or willfull misconduct; (iii) for death or personal injury (to the extent that it is unlawful to exclude liability for the same under applicable law); or (iv) in relation to any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
    4. Allocation of Risk.  THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY REFLECT THE ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN THE PARTIES.  THE LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 10 SURVIVE AND APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
11. General.

    7. Independent Contractors; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  The relationship between the Parties is that of independent contractors.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency or other form of joint venture, franchise, employment or fiduciary relationship between the Parties, and neither Party shall have authority to bind the other Party.  There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.
    8. Injunctive Relief.  Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all rights, remedies and powers of a Party are irrevocable and cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and are in addition to all other rights, remedies and powers given under this Agreement or any laws now existing or subsequently enacted.  Customer acknowledges and agrees that if it breaches any of the licensing or confidentiality obligations under this Agreement, DTN may suffer immediate and irreparable harm for which monetary damages alone are not a sufficient remedy, and that, in addition to any other remedies DTN may have, DTN is entitled to seek injunctive relief, specific performance or any other form of relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, equitable relief, to remedy the breach or threatened breach by Customer and to enforce this Agreement.

    12. Waiver.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement may be deemed or constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, nor may any waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided in writing.  The failure of either Party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the failure to require at any time performance by either Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, may in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of provisions or in any way affect the ability of a Party to enforce each and every provision after such event.
