• observing in dictum that application of the UCC warranties to some leases, by analogy to sales, would be appropriate
• affirming the trial court’s dismissal of UTPA counterclaims including one based on an implied representation
• lessee selected equipment and asked lessor to buy it from the manufacturer and this did not establish agency relationship between manufacturer and lessor
• defendants not entitled to damages without counterclaim although part of the “loss” is automatically offset where the sale is commercially unreasonable
