19    that  does  not  qualify for this exemption or is used in any
20    other non-exempt manner, the lessor shall be liable  for  the
21    tax  imposed  under  this Act or the Use Tax Act, as the case

24    or  attempt  to  collect  an amount (however designated) that
25    purports to reimburse that lessor for the tax imposed by this
26    Act or the Use Tax Act, as the case may be, if  the  tax  has

28    any  such  amount  from  the  lessee, the lessee shall have a
29    legal right to claim a refund of that amount from the lessor.
30    If, however, that amount is not refunded to  the  lessee  for
