Upon receipt of said sums of money, the Owner will execute and deliver to the Contractor a bill of sale
of all his rights, title, and interest in and to said rejected equipment; provided, however, that said
equipment shall not be removed from the premises until the Owner obtains from other sources other
equipment to take the place of that rejected.
F.
