Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller at closing shall sell, transfer, assign, convey and shall delivers to Buyer, and Buyer at closing shall purchase, acquire, and accept from Seller, the Equipment, free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances of any third party.

Seller shall deliver the Equipment along with one or more Bills of Sale as described in Section 9 necessary to transfer ownership to Buyer on the Closing Date.
