THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE INCORPORATED INTO THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN LEGACY(LESSOR) AND ANY LESSEE FOR BARE RENTAL EQUIPMENT.
NO MODIFICATIONS: The rental of equipment from Lessor hereunder is expressly conditioned upon Lessee’s assent to the terms and conditions contained or referred to herein. No terms or conditions which alter or modify in any way any provision, hereof shall be binding unless expressly agreed to in a written instrument signed by Lessor’s authorized representative. Lessor objects to any different or additional terms and hereby rejects any and all such terms, whether contained in previous or subsequent proposals or communications from Lessee. Any action taken by Lessor in preparing its equipment for use by Lessee constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions.
1. Rental Of Equipment: Legacy hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases and hires from Legacy, on a bare rental basis only, the machinery, equipment, accessories and other items described in the Equipment Order Form(s) (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "A") received from Lessee by Legacy from time to time after the date hereof (collectively, the "Equipment"). No Equipment Order Form shall be valid and applicable hereunder unless it is accepted and executed by Legacy. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE EQUIPMENT IS RENTED TO LESSEE ON A BARE RENTAL BASIS ONLY, IN ITS “AS IS” CONDITION. Lessee, at its own expense, shall transport, operate, inspect, maintain and repair the Equipment (unless the parties hereto agree in writing otherwise), and return the Equipment to Lessor in the same condition as when delivered to Lessee, ordinary wear and tear from normal use excepted. LESSEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING COMPLIANCE BY IT AND ITS EMPLOYEES/AGENTS, AND FOR THE EQUIPMENT ITSELF, WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, REGULATIONS AND ORDINANCES, INCLUDING THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT AND REGULATIONS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO 29 C.F.R. 1926, SUBPART CC – CRANES AND DERRICKS IN CONSTRUCTION AND CFR 1910.18 – CRAWLER, LOCOMOTIVE AND TRUCK CRANES) AND ALL APPLICABLE ANSI STANDARDS. Lessor shall have no responsibility of any kind for compliance with any such laws, regulations or ordinances during the period the Equipment is in Lessee's possession or control. Lessee acknowledges that it has read and understands this Lease in its entirety, including the Terms and Conditions on the following pages. This Lease is executed by a duly authorized representative of Lessor and Lessee.
2. Term Of Agreement; Term Of Lease(s) Of Individual Pieces Of Equipment: The term of this Lease shall commence on the date first written above, and shall continue until either party terminates this agreement upon giving the other such party sixty (60) days advance written notice of such termination. Such notice of termination shall not affect or impair any of the agreements, obligations or duties of the Lessee or Legacy under this Lease with respect to any Equipment rented by Lessee, and Lessee's agreements, obligations or duties hereunder shall continue until the last piece of Equipment is returned to Legacy, payment in full by Lessee of all amounts owed hereunder is made, and all of Lessee's obligations hereunder are performed. The term(s) of the lease(s) of the individual pieces of Equipment leased by Lessee hereunder shall commence on the earlier of: (a) the date(s) specified in the Equipment Order Form for those particular pieces of Equipment, or (b) the date the first piece of such Equipment is shipped or transported to or for the benefit of the Lessee. Upon expiration of the term of a specific Equipment lease, the applicable Equipment shall be returned to a location designated by Legacy, in the same condition as when delivered to Lessee, ordinary wear and tear from normal use thereof excepted.
3. Rent: The rental amount for the Equipment shall be the amount set forth on the respective Equipment Order Form for the particular Equipment. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties on the Equipment Order Form for the particular Equipment, rent shall begin at the time the Equipment leaves Legacy's yard and shall continue until such time as the Equipment is returned as set forth above. Rent shall be subject to adjustment as follows: (a) Monthly rates are based upon Equipment use of 160 hours per month and will be pro-rated after the first month for subsequent periods less than one month based on the actual number of days; (b) Weekly rates are based upon Equipment use of 40 hours per week and will be pro-rated for periods less than one week at 1/3 of the base monthly rate; and (c) Daily rates are based upon Equipment use of 8 hours per day. Excess hours of Equipment usage for any period shall be calculated based on the following formula: excess charge equals the applicable rental rate (monthly, weekly or daily) times the fraction of excess hours divided by normal hours for the applicable period. For example, 15 excess hours during one month while the Equipment is rented on a monthly basis would be calculated as follows: applicable rental rate times 15/160. Rental amounts are not subject to any deductions on account of any non-working time of the Equipment (except as provided otherwise herein or as the parties hereto may agree in writing). Lessee shall not be entitled to any abatement of rent, deduction, reduction thereof or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or defense against rent for whatever reason (except as provided otherwise herein or as the parties hereto may agree in writing). Unless otherwise agreed by the parties on the Equipment Order Form for the particular Equipment, all rent and other amounts arising hereunder (except for reimbursement of damage or accident repair expenses under Sections 10 and 11 below) shall be due and payable net thirty (30) days from date of invoice.

If the Equipment is transported on its own wheels, Lessee, at its own expense and risk, shall provide a responsible person (at least 21 years of age with a valid driver's license) to accompany the Equipment to and from the shipping and receiving point. Equipment shall be returned to the destination designated by Legacy.

The Equipment shall be operated in a safe and lawful manner at all times, and in accordance with the manufacturer's operators manual, OSHA rules and ANSI standards. Lessee's operation of the Equipment shall not exceed the manufacturer's safety requirements and rated load capacities. If the Equipment is a crane, it is to be used as a lift crane ONLY.

Any attachments, accessions, replacement parts, repairs or additions to the Equipment shall automatically become Legacy's property.

See Section 15 below with respect to Lessee's remedy if Equipment is not delivered in good operating condition and Lessee provides a timely Defect Notice in accordance with this Section. The parties agree that the failure to provide a Defect Notice within 24 hours after arrival of the Equipment at the point of destination constitutes an acknowledgment by Lessee that the Equipment has been inspected, accepted and determined to be in good operating condition in accordance with Section 15.
9.Inspection, Maintenance, Repairs And Record Keeping Requirements: Lessee shall effect and bear the expense of all necessary inspections, maintenance, adjustments and repairs required by the Equipment operators manual and by law, and shall maintain the Equipment at Lessee's expense in good working condition (including the making of all repairs occasioned by accident). Lessee shall be responsible for all normal basic service, including filters, lubricants, lubrications, protection against freezing and restoration of parts affected by abnormal exposure.

All repairs to the Equipment occasioned by damage during the term hereof shall be at the expense of Lessee (excluding latent manufacturing defects in the Equipment), including, but not limited to, fire, flood, theft, comprehensive losses, collision and/or rollover and Acts of God. All repairs must be authorized by Legacy. All repairs must meet manufacturer specifications and the Equipment must be certified by the manufacturer.

All risk of loss or damage to the Equipment, accidental or otherwise, shall be borne exclusively by Lessee. Legacy and Lessee acknowledge and agree that the replacement value of the Equipment set forth on the respective Equipment Order Form shall be deemed the value of the Equipment in order to establish the amount of the loss or damage thereto. It is understood that no rent, whether previously paid or due, shall apply to or offset the amounts due from Lessee for such loss or damage to the Equipment. The Lease term and rental period for the particular Equipment shall continue to run until all repairs to such Equipment are fully completed to the sole satisfaction of Legacy, the rent and repair expenses are fully paid (excluding latent manufacturing defects in the Equipment), and the Equipment is returned to Legacy in the same condition as initially leased to Lessee, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

The term(s) of the lease(s) of the individual pieces of Equipment leased by Lessee hereunder shall commence on the earlier of: (a) the date(s) specified in the Equipment Order Form for those particular pieces of Equipment, or (b) the date the first piece of such Equipment is shipped or transported to or for the benefit of the Lessee. Upon expiration of the term of a specific Equipment lease, the applicable Equipment shall be returned to a location designated by Legacy, in the same condition as when delivered to Lessee, ordinary wear and tear from normal use thereof excepted.
3. Rent: The rental amount for the Equipment shall be the amount set forth on the respective Equipment Order Form for the particular Equipment. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties on the Equipment Order Form for the particular Equipment, rent shall begin at the time the Equipment leaves Legacy's yard and shall continue until such time as the Equipment is returned as set forth above. Rent shall be subject to adjustment as follows: (a) Monthly rates are based upon Equipment use of 160 hours per month and will be pro-rated after the first month for subsequent periods less than one month based on the actual number of days; (b) Weekly rates are based upon Equipment use of 40 hours per week and will be pro-rated for periods less than one week at 1/3 of the base monthly rate; and (c) Daily rates are based upon Equipment use of 8 hours per day. Excess hours of Equipment usage for any period shall be calculated based on the following formula: excess charge equals the applicable rental rate (monthly, weekly or daily) times the fraction of excess hours divided by normal hours for the applicable period. For example, 15 excess hours during one month while the Equipment is rented on a monthly basis would be calculated as follows: applicable rental rate times 15/160. Rental amounts are not subject to any deductions on account of any non-working time of the Equipment (except as provided otherwise herein or as the parties hereto may agree in writing). Lessee shall not be entitled to any abatement of rent, deduction, reduction thereof or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or defense against rent for whatever reason (except as provided otherwise herein or as the parties hereto may agree in writing). Unless otherwise agreed by the parties on the Equipment Order Form for the particular Equipment, all rent and other amounts arising hereunder (except for reimbursement of damage or accident repair expenses under Sections 10 and 11 below) shall be due and payable net thirty (30) days from date of invoice.

The Equipment shall be operated in a safe and lawful manner at all times, and in accordance with the manufacturer's operators manual, OSHA rules and ANSI standards. Lessee's operation of the Equipment shall not exceed the manufacturer's safety requirements and rated load capacities. If the Equipment is a crane, it is to be used as a lift crane ONLY. Demolition, dynamic compaction, pile driving, and clamming work require additional documentation and equipment authorized only by Legacy in writing.

7. Title: This is an agreement of rental only. All Equipment shall remain personal property, and title thereto shall remain in Legacy or its assignee exclusively. Any attachments, accessions, replacement parts, repairs or additions to the Equipment shall automatically become Legacy's property.

See Section 15 below with respect to Lessee's remedy if Equipment is not delivered in good operating condition and Lessee provides a timely Defect Notice in accordance with this Section. The parties agree that the failure to provide a Defect Notice within 24 hours after arrival of the Equipment at the point of destination constitutes an acknowledgment by Lessee that the Equipment has been inspected, accepted and determined to be in good operating condition in accordance with Section 15.
9.Inspection, Maintenance, Repairs And Record Keeping Requirements: Lessee shall effect and bear the expense of all necessary inspections, maintenance, adjustments and repairs required by the Equipment operators manual and by law, and shall maintain the Equipment at Lessee's expense in good working condition (including the making of all repairs occasioned by accident). Lessee shall be responsible for all normal basic service, including filters, lubricants, lubrications, protection against freezing and restoration of parts affected by abnormal exposure. While Legacy shall have the right to inspect the Equipment at any time during normal business hours, Lessee agrees that Legacy has no control over the operation, use, maintenance or repair of the Equipment when it is in Lessee's possession, supervision and/or control. Legacy shall have prompt access to the Equipment to properly maintain and repair same if Lessee fails to do so or upon Legacy's demand, all at Lessee's cost.

Lessee shall keep a written record of all inspections and shall be responsible for maintaining the crane log book while the Equipment is in Lessee's possession. Lessee shall be solely responsible for any liability imposed by Lessee's failure to maintain inspection records and crane log books while the Equipment is in Lessee's possession.

All repairs to the Equipment occasioned by damage during the term hereof shall be at the expense of Lessee (excluding latent manufacturing defects in the Equipment), including, but not limited to, fire, flood, theft, comprehensive losses, collision and/or rollover and Acts of God. All repairs must be authorized by Legacy. All repairs must meet manufacturer specifications and the Equipment must be certified by the manufacturer. If, upon Lessee's return of the Equipment, Legacy determines that the Equipment has been subject to damage or excess wear and tear, improper usage or usage in excess of that permitted hereby, Lessee agrees to pay Legacy immediately upon demand the amount necessary to restore the Equipment to the same condition as when initially leased, ordinary wear and tear from normal use excepted. All risk of loss or damage to the Equipment, accidental or otherwise, shall be borne exclusively by Lessee. Legacy and Lessee acknowledge and agree that the replacement value of the Equipment set forth on the respective Equipment Order Form shall be deemed the value of the Equipment in order to establish the amount of the loss or damage thereto. It is understood that no rent, whether previously paid or due, shall apply to or offset the amounts due from Lessee for such loss or damage to the Equipment. The Lease term and rental period for the particular Equipment shall continue to run until all repairs to such Equipment are fully completed to the sole satisfaction of Legacy, the rent and repair expenses are fully paid (excluding latent manufacturing defects in the Equipment), and the Equipment is returned to Legacy in the same condition as initially leased to Lessee, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

All actions taken under this Section 11 shall be at the sole expense of Lessee, including all repairs, and Lessee shall pay such expenses upon demand.
