Lessee shall list Bison Drilling and Field Services LLC on all insurance as an additional insured and loss payee and owner of the Equipment. Lessee shall inspect and inventory the Equipment at each destination and, to the extent any loss or damage has occurred, take all steps required to preserve a claim against the carrier for such loss or damage, including but not limited to obtaining a written acknowledgment from the carrier as to all such loss or damage. Lessee shall remain solely responsible for all such loss or damage notwithstanding any actual or purported limitation of liability by a carrier.
C. Any alterations or modifications to the Equipment may be made only upon prior consultation with and prior written approval by Lessor, which approval may be withheld in Lessor’s sole and absolute discretion.
D. Lessee, at its sole expense, shall keep and maintain the Equipment in good working order and repair. In the event the Equipment, during the Term hereof, is lost, damaged, destroyed, in whole or in part, or stolen, Lessee shall pay to Lessor One Hundred Percent (100%) of the current new replacement cost of such Equipment delivered to the location of Lessor’s choosing, and the obligations of this Lease shall end, except with respect to those which by context of this Lease are intended to survive, and those which have accrued prior to such loss, damage, destruction or theft.
E. All repairs and maintenance of the Equipment shall be performed promptly by Lessee. Lessee shall supply all labor, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, and all materials shall be provided by Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense. Lessor shall provide Lessee with a designated person to assist in Lessee’s repairs and maintenance of the Equipment.
3. Term and Lease Payment.
A. The term of this Lease of Equipment shall be for a period of six (6) months (the "Initial Term"), commencing on the Effective Date, and continuing thereafter in subsequent six (6) month periods (“Subsequent Terms” and collectively, with the Initial Term, the “Term”), terminable on at least sixty (60) days' written notice prior to the expiration of the then current Term.
B. During the Term, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, a lease fee in U.S. Dollars in the amounts as follows ("Lease Payment"):
Equipment | Lease Payment |
Equipment Group A | $800.00 per day of use. |
Equipment Group B | $450.00 per day of use. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Equipment will be considered “in use” for an entire Day (being a period of 24 hours) if any component or item of Equipment (limited on a per Equipment Group basis) is employed, engaged, activated, operated, put into service, applied, utilized, operated, mobilized, or any like action, whether similar or dissimilar to those expressly denoted, at any point, and for any period of time, regardless of temporal duration, during such Day. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lessor may elect to terminate this Lease, without liability hereunder, and, at the sole cost and expense of Lessor, retake possession of the Equipment, in the event that Lessee does not accrue a Lease Payment in an amount greater than One Dollar and No/00 Cents ($1.00) for a period of time greater than thirty five (35) consecutive days.
C. Lessee shall pay each Lease Payment to Lessor within fifteen (15) days of invoicing by Lessor during the Term of this Lease. Lessor will invoice Lessee on a monthly basis, and Lessee shall promptly provide Lessor with all documentation necessary and/or convenient for Lessor to accurately issue such invoices to Lessee. Lessee shall provide such information within two (2) business days of Lessor’s request for the same, or at the end of any calendar month during the Term, whichever such date is earlier.
D. Lessee shall pay each Lease Payment to a bank account designated by Lessor.
E. Lessee shall be solely responsible for payment of any and all taxes, licensing and registration fees, if any, in respect of the Equipment and the rental contemplated hereunder.
F. In addition to being a breach of this Lease, the failure to make a Lease Payment when due shall result in the accrual of interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum allowed by law, whichever is lesser. All payments due shall be first applied against service, repair, or replacement of the Equipment, transportation charges, attorney’s fees and costs associated with enforcement of this Lease or in defense of any claims made by Lessee or any third party against Lessor, then to interest before it is applied against the amount due.
4. Title. The Parties agree that title and ownership to the Equipment shall remain at all times with Lessor.
5. Acceptance of Delivery.
A. Upon receipt of Equipment delivery, Lessee shall inspect Equipment and either promptly report any deficiencies to Lessor or accept possession. By accepting possession of the Equipment under this Lease, Lessee accepts the condition of the Equipment. Lessee’s failure to provide written notice of any specific defects or damage, as determined during the initial inspection, constitutes (i) an admission and acknowledgment that the Equipment is in good, safe, and serviceable condition at the time of delivery; and (ii) an acceptance of the Equipment for the Term.
B. Upon prior consultation with and prior written approval by Lessor, the Parties agree that Lessee is authorized, at its sole expense, to furnish or install on the Equipment new or renewed replacement parts and to make any additions or improvements which Lessee deems necessary for the proper maintenance and operation of the Equipment (“Improvements”). All such parts, additions and Improvements shall be deemed a part of the Equipment, and subject to Section 4, above.
6. Limitations of Liability.
A. Lessee acknowledges that Lessee will obtain the Equipment on an "as is where is basis" without relying on Lessor. Lessor makes no warranty or representation, express or implied, statutory or otherwise, as to the design, quality, capacity or fitness of the Equipment for any particular purpose. EXCEPT AS IS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED, LESSOR MAKES NO, AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ANY WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING NO IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, REGARDING THE EQUIPMENT SUPPLIED BY LESSOR HEREUNDER.
B. Lessee agrees that no defect or unfitness of the Equipment shall relieve Lessee of the obligation to pay the Lease Payment throughout the Term hereof.
C. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor shall not be liable or responsible for any non-compliance with any statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation relating to the installation, operation, use or maintenance of the Equipment, it being expressly understood that all such liability shall be the responsibility of Lessee.
D. Incidental or Consequential Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION HEREIN, LESSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO LESSEE FOR (AND LESSEE SHALL RELEASE, PROTECT, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD LESSOR HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST) ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OR LOSSES SUFFERED BY THE LESSEE OR ITS PARENT, AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES AND SUBCONTRACTORS, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, EMPLOYEES, CUSTOMERS AND INVITEES, RESULTING FROM OR ARISING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE, THE ORDERS, THE WORK OR OPERATIONS HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF ASSETS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF OR DELAY IN PRODUCTION, OR LOSS OF SAMPLES), COST OF REDRILL, LOSS OF PROFIT, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR DOWNTIME, AND ALL WITHOUT REGARD TO THE SOLE, JOINT, CONCURRENT, GROSS, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE OR BREACH OF DUTY (STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE) OF ANY PARTY.

The policy shall name Bison Drilling and Field Services LLC as Loss Payee.
F. Lessee shall secure Umbrella/Excess Liability, with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence/$1,000,000 aggregate. Higher limits can be used to satisfy underlying limit requirements, but certificate must specifically state which policy coverage extends to.

Evidence of insurance shall contain a provision that the coverage afforded under the policies shall not be canceled, non-renewed, materially changed, or allowed to expire without first giving at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lessor.

All policies of insurance, including Workers’ Compensation, shall contain a waiver of all rights of subrogation and all lien rights in favor of Lessor. Lessee understands, acknowledges, and agrees that this waiver shall bind its insurers at all levels, and Lessee further acknowledges and agrees to notify its insurers of this waiver and to have all necessary endorsements added to the insurance policies applicable to this Lease. Lessee further understands, acknowledges, and agrees that, to the extent any insurer fails to recognize and honor this waiver or attempts to subrogate against Lessor and its insurance carriers or to enforce any lien rights against Lessor or its insurance carriers, Lessee will be liable to pay to Lessor any amounts required, and all losses Lessor may suffer, as a result of such subrogation or enforcement of lien rights.
J. Compliance with these insurance requirements shall not release or limit Lessee’s liability under this Agreement.

Lessee expressly authorizes Lessor or Lessor’s agent to enter any premises owned or controlled by Lessee, or Lessee’s agents and assigns, where the Equipment is located for the purpose of repossessing and removing the Equipment. Lessee specifically waives any right of action Lessee might otherwise have arising out of the entry and repossession, and releases Lessor from any claim for trespass or damage caused by reason of the entry, repossession, or removal; or (iv) exercise such other rights and seek such remedies as may be available in law or in equity to Lessor.
