I. State and Municipal Permissions: The Lessee is responsible for directing the Lessor where to place its equipment and for maintaining the safety and integrity of the environment where the Work is conducted. The Lessee agrees to procure and maintain all necessary permits needed for the Work to comply with Federal, State, and Municipal, or other regulations including but not limited to street closure permits, building permits, lane closure permits, tree removal permits, FAA permits, trade licenses or occupational permits, or job-specific credentials. The Lessee will act, in its capacity as director and supervisor of the Work, to pay any fines, fees, penalties or obligations that are levied against the Lessor as a result of noncompliance with Federal, State, or Municipal regulations. II. Soil and Ground Conditions: The Lessee agrees that it will assume all responsibility for the ground and soil conditions, including man-made bearing surfaces, in the area where it directs the Work. The Lessee has a duty to test, inspect, or measure, according to applicable standards, the ground, soil, or man-made bearing surface beneath the equipment and its suitability to sustain the ground pressure exerted by the crane in the performance of the Work. If the ground is found to be deficient the Lessee undertakes the obligation and responsibility to improve the ground, either by compaction, addition or removal of soil, addition of cribbing or shoring, or other approved means, until the ground, soil, or man-made bearing surface meets all applicable standards for the performance of the Work. III. Rigging: Any and all apparatus between the hook of the crane (but excluding the hook) and the load (including the load), including all cables, chockers, straps, wires, flanges, mounting plates, slings, ropes, devices, hooks, latches, links, spreaders, or insulators are herein defined and referred to as the “Rigging.” Lessee is required to inspect and approve, according to applicable standards and manufacturers ratings, any and all Rigging to be used with this equipment, and as the director and supervisor of the Work the Lessee assumes responsibility for any defects, overloading, misuse, or failure of any kind in any of the Rigging, regardless of Rigging ownership. The Lessee agrees to supervise and control all personnel, regardless of whether they are employed by the Lessor, the Lessee, or a third party, in the selection of Rigging, method of rigging, and proper placement of the Rigging as it pertains to the Work.

The Lessee assumes the responsibility to contact the local electric utility or other authorized entity to ensure that applicable rules and recommendations are followed in the interest of personnel safety and preserving property. V. Operator Aids: In the event that furnished equipment is fitted with an operational aid, such as a load moment indicator, boom length indicator, or other such aid, the Lessee assumes full responsibility, in accordance with applicable ASME and ANSI standards, to avoid using that aid as a load measuring device. Furthermore the Lessee agrees to independently determine the weight of loads prior to their being hoisted by furnished equipment so as to fully comply with approved lift-plan procedures. The Lessor makes no warranties or guarantees regarding the accuracy or reliability of operational aids. VI. Terrestrial and subterranean Damage as a result of ground pressure: The Lessee agrees to hold the Lessor harmless from claims of property damage resulting from the weight of the Lessor’s equipment in the performance of the Work, including but not limited to: cracking, scraping or buckling of pavement surface, curbing, or gutters, damage to any underground utilities, or damage to turf, ivy, ground cover, shrubs or other vegetation on any right-of-way, street, alley, sidewalk, driveway, parking area, landscaped area or path resulting from the placement of equipment necessary to complete the Work. If any claim involving any aforementioned terrestrial and/or subterranean property damage(s) originating from any property owners or their representatives is directed at Boutte Tree, Inc. (dba Chattahoochee Crane), then the Lessee agrees to repair or replace any terrestrial or subterranean installations at their own expense to the satisfaction of the property owner(s), both regarding the quality of the repair and the timeliness of its completion, as the means by which they will hold the Lessor harmless. 5.) Scheduling & Cancellation: To schedule work the Lessee shall make a deposit, upon which the Parties may agree on a date for delivery. Once scheduled either Party may reschedule or cancel equipment delivery, except that any cancellation on the part of the Lessee must be made at least 24 business hours in advance of the scheduled equipment delivery. Should the Lessee cancel the delivery of equipment within 24 business hours or less of the scheduled delivery, the Lessee shall forfeit the deposit. Lessor is not responsible for any direct or indirect loss(es) resulting from delayed delivery of equipment, regardless of the circumstances of the delay. 6.) Insurance: The Lessee agrees to provide (and maintain in force) insurance coverage for the equipment and its operations prior to the delivery of equipment. Pursuant to Georgia Code 13-8-2, the Lessee shall not be required to insure the Lessor, including the Lessor’s employees, agents, or officers against liability or claims resulting from the sole negligence of the Lessor or its employees, agents, or officers. The Lessee shall procure the following insurance policies, and list the Lessor as an additional insured on them, and they shall be endorsed so that they are non-contributory to the Lessor’s policies: a) worker’s compensation insurance policy with at least statutory limits and at least $1,000,000 for employer’s liability. b) primary general liability insurance policy with bodily injury and property damage coverage with at least $1,000,000 per incident and $2,000,000 aggregate coverage. c) excess/umbrella insurance policy in the amount of $5,000,000. d) inland marine/all physical risk insurance policy to cover the full insurable value of the equipment, including any boom or jib, for its loss or damage from any and all causes, including, but not limited to, overloading, misuse, fire, flood, theft, overturn, explosion, or acts of god occurring during the rental term. Both parties agree that for equipment less than 5 years old the insurable amount of the equipment shall be the amount paid for the equipment at acquisition. 7.)

Lessee’s duty to indemnify shall include all costs or expenses associated with a claim including court costs, attorney’s fees, and costs of settlement. Lessee shall be required to indemnify Lessor for Lessor’s own negligence or fault regardless of whether the negligence or fault be direct, indirect, or consequential, except that pursuant to Georgia Code 13-8-2 Lessee shall not be required to indemnify, hold harmless, insure, or defend Lessor against claims that result from the sole negligence of the Lessor or its employees, officer, or agents. This indemnification shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damage, compensation, or benefits payable by or for the Lessee under workers’ compensation acts, disability benefits acts, or other employee benefits acts.
