GENERAL CONDITIONS OF EQUIPMENT RENTAL AGREEMENT (LEASE)

The conditions of lease here below stated, together with the Agreement set forth on the reverse side of this sheet, constitute a contract

between the parties therein named which contract is hereafter referred to as “this Agreement”.

RENTAL PERIOD. The Rental period shall cover all time consumed in transporting the equipment, including the date of

legal delivery to a public carrier for transit to Lessee and upon return of the equipment, the date of legal delivery by such

carrier to Lessor, or if no public carrier is used, shall include the date upon which transit to Lessee begins and the date upon

which transit from Lessee ends at Lessor’s unloading point.

RENTAL CHARGES. Lessee shall pay rental for the entire Rental Period on each article of equipment named in the List of

Equipment, at the rate therein stipulated and in accordance with the following:

a) Monthly Rental Rates shall not be subject to any deductions on account of any non-working time in the month. The

amount of rent payable for any fraction of a month at the beginning or end of the Rental Period shall be the monthly

rental rate, prorated according to the number of calendar days in such fraction.

b) Daily Rental Rates shall not be subject to deductions for any non-working time in the day and shall be paid for each

calendar day in the month except Sundays and legal holidays upon which the equipment is not operated. Daily and

monthly rental rates stipulated in the List of Equipment contemplate an operating day of a regular single shift of eight (8)

hours, and for each hour over such eight (8) hours that the equipment is operated these rates shall be increased six (6)

percent of the daily rate throughout such period as the equipment is so operated.

c) Unit of Work Rates shall be paid for each unit of work in which the equipment participates, and the amount of rental

shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing be determined by the number of units shown in the supervising engineer’s or

architect’s estimates.

PAYMENT. The rent for any and every item of equipment described in the List of Equipment shall be the amount therein

designated and is payable in advance on the first day of each month. Lessee shall pay Lessor interest at twelve percent (12%)

or the highest lawful rate, whichever is greater, on any delinquent payment from the date when such payment was due until

paid and on any other sum for breach of this Agreement, from the date of the breach, and expenses of collection or suit,

including actual attorneys’ fees.

SECURITY DEPOSIT. Any security deposit paid by Lessee to Lessor is paid to guarantee Lessee’s full and faithful

performance of all terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement. If Lessee shall so perform, an equal sum shall be

repaid without interest to Lessee at the termination of this Agreement.

FEES, ASSESSMENTS, AND TAXES PAID BY LESSEE. Lessee shall pay all license fees, assessments, and sales, use,

property and excise, and other taxes or hereafter imposed, and relating to Lessee’s use or possession of the equipment.

MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION. Lessee shall not remove, alter, disfigure or cover up any numbering, lettering, or

insignia displayed upon the equipment, and shall see that the equipment is not subjected to careless, unusually or needlessly

rough usage; and Lessee shall at his own expense maintain the equipment and its appurtenances in good repair and operative

condition, and return it in such condition to Lessor, ordinary wear and tear resulting from proper use thereof alone expected.

REPAIRS. The expense of all repairs made during the Rental Period, including labor, material, parts and other items shall

be paid by Lessee.

OPERATORS. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, Lessee shall supply and pay all operators on the equipment

during the Rental Period. All operators shall be competent. Should Lessor furnish any operators or other workmen for the

other applicable costs. Lessee shall provide and pay for all workmen’s compensation insurance and pay all payroll taxes

required by law and applying to such operators and workman.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRENTIES. LESSOR, BEING NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER, NOR A SUPPLIER, NOR

A DEALER IN THE EQUIPMENT, MAKES NO WARRENTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY MATTER

WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE CONDITION OF THE EQUIPMENT, ITS

MERCHANTABILITY, ITS DESIGN, ITS CAPACITY, ITS PERFORMANCE, ITS MATERIAL, ITS WORKMANSHIP,

ANY EVENT TO LESSEE FOR ANY LOSS, DELAY, OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER RESULTING

FROM DEFECTS IN, OR INEFFICIENCY OF, EQUIPMENT HEREBY LEASED OR ACCIDENTAL BREAKAGE

THEREOF.

11)

INDEMNITY. Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against, and hold Lessor harmless from, any and all claims, actions, suits,

proceedings, costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities, including attorneys fees, arising out of, connected with, or resulting

from the equipment or the Lease, including without limitation, the manufacture, selection, delivery, leasing, renting, control,

possession, use, operation, maintenance or return of the equipment. Lessee shall further indemnify Lessor, and hold Lessor

harmless from all loss and damage to the equipment during the rental period. Lessee recognizes and agrees that included in
