Lessee will be charged for all applicable transportation costs.

In such event, Lessee shall also be liable for, and agrees to pay within thirty (30) days from receipt of Lessor’s invoice, the loss of use and rentals which such damaged Equipment could have produced, at Lessor’s then current published rental rate, for such period of time which elapses from the loss until the Equipment can be repaired or replaced.
