 1    exemption  or  is  used  in  any  other nonexempt manner, the

 5    occurs.  No lessor shall collect or  attempt  to  collect  an
 6    amount  (however  designated) that purports to reimburse that
 7    lessor for the tax imposed by this Act or the Use Tax Act, as
 8    the case may be, if the tax has not been paid by the  lessor.
 9    If  a  lessor  improperly  collects  any such amount from the
10    lessee, the lessee shall have a legal right to claim a refund
11    of that amount from the lessor.  If, however, that amount  is
12    not  refunded  to  the  lessee  for any reason, the lessor is
13    liable to pay that amount to the Department.  This  paragraph
