insurance.
15. ENCUMBRANCES, TAXES AND OTHER LAWS. Lessee shall keep the Equipment free
and clear of any liens or other encumbrances, and shall not permit any act where Lessor’s
title or rights may be negatively affected. Lessee shall be responsible for complying with and
conforming to all laws and regulations relating to the possession, use or maintenance of the
Equipment. Furthermore, Lessee shall promptly pay all taxes, fees, licenses and
governmental charges, together with any penalties or interest thereon, relating to the
possession, use or maintenance of the Equipment.
16. LESSORS REPRESENTATIONS. Lessor represents and warrants that he/she has the right
to lease the Equipment as provided in this Agreement and that Lessee shall be entitled to
quietly hold and possess the Equipment, and Lessor will not interfere with that right as long
as Lessee pays the Rent in a timely manner and performs all other obligations under this
Agreement.
17. OWNERSHIP. The Equipment is and shall remain the exclusive property of Lessor.
18. SEVERABILITY. If any part or parts of this Agreement shall be held unenforceable for any
reason, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If any
provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent
jurisdiction, and if limiting such provision would make the provision valid, then such provision
shall be deemed to be construed as so limited.
19. ASSIGNMENT. Neither this Agreement nor Lessee’s rights hereunder are assignable
except with Lessor’s prior, written consent.
20. BINDING EFFECT. The covenants and conditions contained in the Agreement shall apply to
and bind the Parties and the heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns
of the Parties.
21. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
Parties and supersedes any prior understanding or representation of any kind preceding the
date of this Agreement. There are no other promises, conditions, understandings or other
agreements, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. This
Agreement may be modified in writing and must be signed by both Lessor and Lessee.
22. CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. Lessor’s and Lessee’s rights under this Agreement are cumulative,
and shall not be construed as exclusive of each other unless otherwise required by law.
23. WAIVER. The failure of either party to enforce any provisions of this Agreement shall not be
deemed a waiver or limitation of that party's right to subsequently enforce and compel strict
compliance with every provision of this Agreement. The acceptance of rent by Lessor does
not waive Lessor’s right to enforce any provisions of this Agreement.
24. INDEMNIFICATION. Except for damages, claims or losses due to Lessor’s acts or
negligence, Lessee, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify and hold Lessor and
Lessor’s property, free and harmless from any liability for losses, claims, injury to or death of
any person, including Lessee, or for damage to property arising from Lessee using and
possessing the Equipment or from the acts or omissions of any person or persons, including
Lessee, using or possessing the Equipment with Lessee’s express or implied consent.
