 1    the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the property is  leased
 2    in  a manner that does not qualify for this exemption or used
 3    in any other non-exempt manner, the lessor  shall  be  liable
 4    for  the  tax  imposed  under this Act or the Service Use Tax
 5    Act, as the case may be, based on the fair  market  value  of
 6    the  property  at the time the non-qualifying use occurs.  No
 7    lessor shall collect or attempt to collect an amount (however

10    case may be, if the tax has not been paid by the lessor.   If
11    a lessor improperly collects any such amount from the lessee,
12    the lessee shall have a legal right to claim a refund of that
13    amount  from  the  lessor.   If,  however, that amount is not

 1    tax  imposed  under  this Act or the Use Tax Act, as the case
 2    may be, based on the fair market value of the property at the
