RECITALS

WHEREAS, Broker is authorized by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (“FMCSA”)
under U.S. DOT No. 2234232 and MC-523337-B to engage in operations in interstate and/or foreign commerce as a broker as defined
in 49 U.S.C. 13102, arranging for transportation of shipments (excluding household goods) for various shippers, brokers, consignors,

Customers”);

WHEREAS, Carrier is engaged in business as a motor carrier for hire and holds FMCSA Operating Authority under U.S. DOT
3387532
No.______________ and MC-_______________
1088196 (“Operating Authority”) to engage in transportation as a for-hire carrier of property
(excluding household goods), which authorizes Carrier to provide transportation services under its own Operating Authority for the
shipments tendered to it by Broker under the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Broker, as an independent contractor, serves many shipper customers which have varying and distinct transportation
needs for shipments between and among various geographic points throughout the United States, and between the United States and
Mexico and Canada; and

WHEREAS, Broker desires to use the services of Carrier, on a non-exclusive basis, to pick up, secure, transport, and deliver
Broker’s Customers’ freight under Carrier’s own Operating Authority and under the terms and conditions of this Agreement
(“Services”); and

WHEREAS, Carrier desires to provide the transportation Services needed by Broker’s Customers, and desires to transport such
shipments under its own Operating Authority, as an independent contractor, subject to the terms and conditions of the contract of
carriage and this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Parties’ mutual promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. BROKER’S COVENANTS. Broker warrants and represents that it has authority to tender Broker’s Customers’ shipments to Carrier
for transportation under this Agreement. Broker agrees to solicit, obtain and maintain shipping customers having freight shipments
in need of transportation. Broker shall maintain a surety bond / trust fund on file with the FMCSA in the form and amount required
by applicable regulations.

2. CARRIER’S COVENANTS. In performing the Services contemplated by this Agreement, Carrier warrants and represents that it
shall, at its own expense and through its own efforts, comply with the following covenants:
a. Carrier warrants that it is (and shall remain at all times during which this Agreement is in effect) a duly licensed and
authorized motor carrier operating pursuant to and in accordance with the standards and regulations promulgated by the
FMCSA and/or the ICC. Carrier warrants that it has and will maintain a safety rating of at least “Satisfactory” or whatever is
the highest safety rating issued by the FMCSA, DOT, CSA and/or the ICC at all times during which this Agreement is in effect.
Carrier further warrants that the FMCSA has not placed Carrier “out of service” and Carrier does not have an “Unsatisfactory”
or “Conditional” safety rating. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to include safety rating designations which may

inactive for any reason. Carrier shall additionally immediately notify Broker of any other change in Carrier’s business,
insurance or financial status that may render Carrier unable or unauthorized to perform under the terms of this Agreement.

and/or temperature control requirements; (ii) take measures to isolate, segregate and use packaging to prevent
contamination of food products; (iii) ensure that any and all food items requiring temperature control are transported in

(2) degrees different from the required temperature stated on the tender documents, then the Carrier shall refuse the
shipment and immediately contact Broker. BROKER SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR CARRIER’S FAILURE
TO COMPLY WITH THIS SECTION OR OTHER FAILURE TO ADHERE TO SHIPPER’S INSTRUCTIONS OR THE REQUIREMENTS OF

Customers may sustain or incur, including but not limited to claims for lost profits or plant shutdown fees, arising out of
Carrier’s noncompliance. Carrier shall also, at its sole cost and through its sole efforts, comply with all applicable rules and
regulations promulgated under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”) (21 U.S.C. Section 301, et seq., as amended,
supplemented or superseded from time to time) and the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (“PACA”) (7 U.S.C. Section

statutes or ordinances applicable to the transportation of food products, produce, drugs and other perishable items.
d. Carrier shall transport and carry all shipments tendered to Carrier under this Agreement to and from such points between
which service may be required without delay caused by anything within Carrier’s control. Carrier agrees that all shipments will
be transported and delivered with reasonable dispatch, or as otherwise agreed in writing. Broker and Carrier agree and
recognize that time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement. Carrier shall be deemed to be dispatched by
Broker only after (1) Carrier has returned the fully executed Rate Confirmation and (2) after Broker has completed an oral or
written dispatch checklist with Carrier covering the key details of the shipment at issue. Carrier shall commence performance

penalties by Broker’s Customers, shippers or consignees of shipments for which Carrier shall be liable.
e. Carrier warrants and agrees that Carrier shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility to direct, control, oversee, govern,
manage and discipline its employees, agents, contractors, owner/operators and leasees who transport shipments or perform
Services under this Agreement. The Parties agree that Broker’s responsibilities under this Agreement are limited to arranging
for the transportation of a shipper’s freight with Carrier, and not actually performing the transportation services, possessing
the freight, acting as a motor carrier or controlling the means or methods of transportation.
f. Carrier warrants and agrees that it shall utilize only drivers who are duly qualified as required by Part 391 of the FMCSRs to
transport freight under this Agreement. Carrier further warrants and agrees that it has adopted and will continue to maintain
adequate internal procedures sufficient to enable Carrier to “qualify” its drivers and to confirm their ongoing qualifications as
required by the FMCSRs. Carrier shall maintain, at its own expense and through its own efforts, complete and up-to-date
Driver Qualification Files on all of its drivers. Carrier further warrants and agrees that it shall provide only duly qualified and
licensed drivers with enough available hours of service to pick up and deliver tendered loads within the timeframe(s)
requested by Broker and/or Broker’s Customers, without violating the hours of service regulations outlined in the FMCSRs.
Carrier shall also ensure that each driver is suitably trained for operation of Carrier’s vehicles and other equipment, and shall
procure and keep current all licenses, permits, authorizations and other governmental approvals necessary for the ownership
and use of such vehicles. Carrier warrants that it will not coerce its drivers to violate the hours of service regulations.
g. Carrier shall maintain its equipment including all vehicles, trailers and other equipment in good order and in safe working
condition as suitable for the transportation of the shipments tendered to it by Broker, and shall keep and maintain all such
equipment in full compliance with all requirements set forth in the FMCSRs and any applicable state regulations. Carrier will
not supply equipment that has been used to transport hazardous wastes, solid or liquid, regardless of whether they meet the
definition in 40 C.F.R. § 261.1 et. seq. Carrier shall create, retain and maintain all documents and records required to be
created and maintained under the FMCSRs and any other applicable federal, state or local rules or regulations. Carrier shall
supply only dry, clean, odor–free and leak-proof transportation equipment, free of mold, debris, or infestation, and suitable for
the particular commodity being transported, and which will not cause in whole or in part adulteration of the commodity as
defined in 21 U.S.C. § 342. Carrier agrees and warrants that no vehicle used to transport goods for Broker under this
Agreement will ever have been used to transport refuse, garbage, trash or solid or liquid waste of any kind whatsoever,
whether hazardous or non-hazardous, and regardless of whether such materials qualify for any exclusion set forth in 40 C.F.R
Subpart A. Carrier will also ensure that, for all goods that are specified by Broker or Broker’s Customers as requiring
temperature, humidity or other climate control, that all vehicles provided by Carrier for transportation of such goods will be
suitable for the purpose intended. Carrier shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
procurement, operation and maintenance of Carrier’s equipment.
h. Carrier warrants that it shall notify Broker immediately if Carrier or any related entity of Carrier is sold or has its rights or
interests assigned, or if any insurance required to be maintained by Carrier under this Agreement is terminated, cancelled,
suspended or revoked for any reason.
i. Carrier warrants that to the extent that any shipments tendered under this Agreement are transported within the State of
California using refrigerated equipment, Carrier shall only utilize equipment which is in full compliance with the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) Transport Refrigerated Unit (TRU) Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) in-use regulations. Carrier
shall be liable to Broker for any penalties or any other liability imposed on, or assumed by, Broker, due to penalties imposed
on Broker’s Customer because of Carrier’s use of non-compliant equipment.
j. Carrier shall place and keep a certified, registered Electronic Logging Device (“ELD”) in each vehicle it utilizes to transport
freight hereunder and shall operate in full compliance with all requirements of the ELD regulations set forth in Section
32301(b) of the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Enhancement Act, enacted as part of MAP-21 (Pub L. 112-141, 126 Stat.
405, 786-788, July 6, 2012).
k. Carrier warrants and agrees that it will inspect or hire a duly qualified service representative to inspect each vehicle’s
refrigeration or heating unit at least once each month. Carrier warrants that it shall maintain a record of each inspection of
each refrigeration or heating unit and shall retain all such records of the inspection for at least one year from the date of such
service. Copies of these records must be provided upon request to the Carrier’s insurance company and Broker. Carrier
further warrants that it will at all times maintain adequate fuel levels in all refrigeration or heating units and Carrier hereby
assumes and accepts full liability for any and all claims and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Broker,
arising out of Carrier’s failure to do so.

acceptance of Carrier’s self-insured status by the FMCSA or other governing agency, and Carrier shall further
demonstrate to Broker’s satisfaction that such coverage meets all the minimum coverage and other requirements set
forth in this Agreement.
7. No Representation as to Adequacy. It is expressly understood that Broker does not represent that the types or minimum
limits of the insurance set forth herein are adequate to protect the Broker’s interests, and do not otherwise constitute
limits of liability. Deductible amounts under the foregoing policies shall be paid by Carrier.
b. The aforementioned insurance requirements are minimum requirements and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to
limit Carrier’s liability to the amounts set forth above, nor shall any exclusion, declaration or deductible absolve Carrier from
financial responsibility for any loss or damage. Carrier may not have exclusions within any of the above insurance policies for
unattended vehicles or unattached vehicles, theft, abandonment, or breakdown or malfunctioning of cooling or heating
equipment. In the event that Carrier is precluded or excluded, by insurance policy or otherwise, from transporting any
particular commodity or freight, Carrier shall not under any circumstance transport such commodity or freight on behalf of
Broker’s Customers and Carrier shall notify Broker in advance and in writing of any such exclusion or non-permitted
commodity or freight. Carrier is solely responsible for ensuring compliance with the terms, conditions and requirements of the
above insurance policies at all times during the term of this Agreement, including payment of all premiums and deductibles.
Carrier agrees that all insurance policies required under this Agreement shall be primary and shall be required to respond and
pay prior to any coverage provided by Broker or Broker’s Customer(s). Carrier shall pay all deductible amounts due under
any applicable insurance policies. Carrier shall furnish Broker with a Certificate or Certificates of Insurance, in a form

cancellation. Carrier’s Certificate of Insurance must identify Broker as a “Certificate Holder” and additional insured, and
Carrier agrees to undertake all necessary actions to accomplish same.
c. By signing this Agreement, Carrier expressly grants Broker the right and authority to obtain actual copies of all of Carrier’s
insurance policies in effect at the time of any loss directly from Carrier’s insurance companies. Carrier further authorizes its
insurance company or companies to release to Broker any and all of Carrier’s insurance policies requested by Broker. Carrier
grants Broker the right to contact and communicate directly with Carrier’s insurance companies with respect to any claim
arising out of Carrier’s Services under this Agreement.
d. Carrier will notify Broker immediately if any insurance required hereunder is threatened to be or is terminated, cancelled,
suspended, or revoked for any reason. Carrier shall defend, indemnify and hold Broker and Broker’s Customers harmless from
any and all liability, claims, losses, demands, and damages arising from or related to Carrier’s failure or alleged failure to
maintain any of the insurance coverages required under this Agreement or under the FMCSRs or for failure or alleged failure
to abide by the terms, conditions and/or requirements of any insurance policy required under this Agreement.

4. CARGO LIABILITY AND CLAIMS FOR LOSS, DAMAGE OR DELAY. Broker and Carrier hereby agree upon the following

Doc ID: 074ef5ca01255c547cbcd42437e3487f244a223e


terms and conditions which shall govern all Services provided by Carrier under this Agreement:
a. Carrier shall sign a bill of lading, produced by the shipper or Carrier in compliance with 49 C.F.R. § 373.101 (and any
amendments thereto), listing Carrier as the delivering motor carrier, when it picks up the shipment. The bill of lading/receipt
shall be prima facie evidence of the actual receipt by Carrier of such goods in good order and condition, unless otherwise
expressly written or noted on the face of the document before Carrier departs from the consignor location. Acceptance of
possession of the goods by Carrier, in whole or in part, regardless of whether a bill of lading has been issued, shall mean
conclusively that Carrier assumes full and complete responsibility and liability for such goods until proper delivery is made to
the consignee and the consignee accepts the shipment and signs the bill of lading or delivery receipt evidencing successful
delivery without claim or other dispute. Carrier’s failure to issue or sign a bill of lading acknowledging receipt of the cargo
shall not affect the liability of Carrier for any loss of or damage to cargo. Any terms of the bill of lading (including but not
limited to payment terms or terms purporting to limit Carrier’s liability), load confirmation, rate confirmation, dispatch sheet
or other document which are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement shall be of no force and effect and shall be
superseded by and controlled by this Agreement.
b. Carrier shall be fully responsible for the proper care and handling of freight transported under this Agreement, and shall be
liable to Broker and Broker’s Customers for the full actual loss or damage to cargo occurring while in the custody, possession
or under the control of Carrier, its employees, or its contractors and agents. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “full
actual loss” shall mean the full value of the cargo as determined by Broker’s Customer. Carrier shall be liable to Broker and
Broker’s Customers for incidental and/or consequential damages or expenses arising from or caused by any delay in delivery
or loss, damage, or shortage to cargo. Carrier agrees and acknowledges that Broker will not be liable to a shipper or any of
Broker’s Customers for any act or omission of Carrier or any of its “employees” as defined under 49 C.F.R. § 390.5.
c. Carrier shall comply with all regulations set forth in 49 C.F.R. Part 370 and any amendments thereto and any other applicable
regulations adopted by the FMCSA or any applicable state regulatory agency relating to investigating and processing claims for
loss or damage to cargo and processing salvage. Carrier understands and agrees that food that has been transported by
Carrier under conditions that are not in compliance with the regulations promulgated under 21 U.S.C. § 350(e) will be
considered “adulterated” within the meaning of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(i) (“FD&C Act”).
Carrier shall also fully comply with all regulations promulgated under the Sanitary Food Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. § 5701
et seq. Carrier understands and agrees that adulterated shipments may be refused by the consignee or receiver at
destination. Carrier further recognizes and agrees that all damages or losses caused by, arising from or flowing out of any
adulterated shipment shall be borne exclusively by Carrier and that Broker shall have no liability whatsoever for any such
damages or claims. Carrier shall not dispose of damaged or rejected product without the prior written consent of Broker or
its Customer(s). Broker or its Customer(s) may determine within their sole discretion whether the goods may be salvaged,
and if salvageable, the value of such salvage.
d. In the event a shipment is rejected, in whole or in part, by the consignee, Carrier shall immediately contact Broker and shall
follow Broker’s requests thereafter as to where to transport and whether and how to dispose of the goods. In the event the
shipment or any part of it is compromised or damaged, Broker and Broker’s Customer shall have the sole discretion to
determine whether the shipment may be salvaged, and if salvageable, the value of the salvageable goods. In the event that
the customer of the subject freight has required Broker to waive rights of salvage or resale, Carrier hereby expressly waives
any and all rights of salvage or resale of the subject freight to the same extent as waived by Broker. Carrier shall return all
damaged shipments at its expense to the point of origin or, at Broker’s direction, to other points as instructed by Broker.
Carrier shall not dispose of, sell, salvage or attempt to sell or salvage any goods without Broker’s express written permission.
Claims based on a concealed loss or damage reported to Carrier within ten (10) business days of the date of delivery shall be
treated by Carrier as though an exception notation had been made on the delivery receipt at the time of delivery.
e. Carrier shall ensure that Broker’s name is not listed as the “carrier” on the bill of lading. Carrier recognizes and agrees that
insertion or inclusion of Broker’s name on the bill of lading shall be for shipper convenience only and shall not change Broker’s
status as a broker and not the delivering motor carrier, nor shall it change Carrier’s status and obligations as the delivering
motor carrier. The terms and conditions of any freight documentation used by Carrier shall not supplement, alter, or modify
the terms of this Agreement.
f. To the extent any terms of the bill of lading or receipt are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this
Agreement shall govern. Carrier hereby waives any statutory provisions and regulations which are inconsistent with the terms
of this Agreement and which are waivable under 49 U.S.C. § 14101(b) and related sections, and the terms of this Agreement
shall govern.
g. Except as otherwise provided herein, and excluding claims by Broker against Carrier for enforcement of any provision of this
Agreement, all claims against Carrier for loss or damage to cargo, and all liability standards, time limitations and burdens of
proof in any claim against Carrier for loss or damage to cargo, shall be governed by the Carmack Amendment to the
Interstate Commerce Commission Act, codified at 49 U.S.C. §14706, along with the common law applicable to common
carriers. Carmack Amendment liability standards, time limitations and burdens of proof shall apply to all shipments
transported pursuant to this Agreement, regardless of whether the shipment is considered an “exempt commodity” under
existing federal regulations. In the event of a claim for loss, damage or theft of cargo, Broker’s Customer(s) and/or Broker on

www.customprologistics.com

behalf of such Customer(s) shall submit a claim in writing to Carrier within nine (9) months of delivery date, or scheduled
delivery date, whichever is later. A claim shall not be invalidated if the exact amount of the claim is not quantified within nine
(9) months. Carrier shall acknowledge receipt of such claim in writing within thirty (30) days of receiving such claim, and
Carrier shall resolve (pay in full, partial payment, or decline payment for just cause) such claim within ninety (90) days of
receiving such claim. Failure on the part of Carrier to comply with the deadlines set forth herein shall constitute a waiver of
Carrier’s defenses to the cargo claim, an admission by Carrier of liability for the full amount claimed, and shall preclude Carrier
from presenting such defenses in any associated lawsuit by Broker and/or Broker’s Customer(s).
h. In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing, if Carrier fails to make timely delivery of any shipment, or refuses to make
such delivery, Broker may, in its discretion, utilize another carrier or carriers to facilitate transportation of the delayed
shipment or to ship replacement goods. In such event, Carrier shall be liable to Broker and Broker’s Customers, in addition to
all other damages outlined herein, for all reasonable and necessary costs, charges, fees and expenses resulting from such
substituted service. Broker’s use of substituted service shall not otherwise relieve Carrier of any of its obligations under this
Agreement or with respect to any particular shipment. Broker reserves the right to impose reasonable and industry accepted
penalties against the Carrier when pick-up and/or delivery schedules and appointments are not adhered to.
i. Carrier acknowledges that Broker may utilize other carriers to facilitate the movement of delayed shipments, or to ship
replacement goods. If Carrier fails to arrange to make timely delivery of any shipment, Carrier shall be liable to Broker and its
Customer(s) for all reasonable and necessary costs, charges, fees and expenses resulting from such delay.
j. Carrier will accept instructions for changes in delivery place or time or the required temperature at which any given shipment
is to be transported from Broker only. If Carrier accepts change instructions from parties other that Broker, Carrier does so at
its own risk and will forfeit its right to compensation for the shipment of Goods.
k. This Agreement supersedes all other agreements and all tariffs, rates, classifications and schedules published, filed or
otherwise maintained by Carrier. Carrier acknowledges that in the event of a claim involving a shipment tendered to Carrier
under this Agreement, any tariff Carrier maintains shall not be applicable to and shall not limit Carrier’s liability.

5. INDEMNIFICATION. Carrier shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Broker, its parent companies, subsidiaries, officers,
directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns, and shall also defend, indemnify and hold harmless Broker’s Customers,
from and against any and all claims or liability of any nature or type arising out of or in any way related to Carrier’s performance of
Services or failure to perform under this Agreement. Carrier’s duty to defend, indemnify and hold harmless shall include, without
limitation, all liabilities, judgments, fines, claims, lawsuits, penalties, orders, decrees, awards, costs, expenses, including but not
limited to attorneys’ fees, settlements and claims, arising out of or related to any of the following:
a. Any loss or damage to property or personal injury to any person or entity, including, but not limited to, death, arising out of or
related to Carrier’s performance of any of the Services contemplated by this Agreement;
b. Any loss, theft, damage or delay in transit to any goods or property which Carrier receives for transport under this Agreement.
Carrier’s indemnification obligation to Broker under this Section shall include Broker’s attorneys’ fees and expenses, which
shall constitute special damages, the risk of which is expressly assumed by Carrier;
c. Any accident cleanup costs, towing costs or fees, storage fees, roadway or other infrastructure repair costs or fees and any
other similar charges which may arise in connection with any collision or accident in which Carrier may become involved;
d. Carrier’s breach of any of its representations, warranties and/or covenants in this Agreement, including without limitation all
agreements and representations made by Carrier in Sections 2(a) - 2(k); 3(a)(1) - 3(a)(7); 3(b) - 3(d); 4(a) - 4(k); 5(a) –
5(g); 6(a) – 6(i); 7(a) – 7(d); 8(a) - 8(i), 9, 10, and 13, or any failure or alleged failure by Carrier to comply with any
applicable law, rule, regulation or ordinance;
e. Carrier’s duties or obligations as an employer, principal or contractor, including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, any failure or alleged failure by Carrier to comply with minimum wage, wage and hour and/or worker’s
compensation laws or requirements, along with any and all claims for workers’ compensation or similar claims asserted
against Broker or Broker’s Customers by any of Carrier’s employees, agents or contractors or their personal representatives;
f. Any allegation that Broker or Broker’s Customer is an employer or co-employer of any employee, agent, contractor or
subcontractor of Carrier.
g. The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive cancellation, termination, or expiration of this Agreement.

6. COMPENSATION.
a. Carrier agrees to carry such shipments at the rates and charges set forth in Broker’s “Rate Confirmation” for each shipment
accepted by Carrier under this Agreement. Carrier and Broker agree that any carrier general tariff rates or accessorial
charges do not apply, in any fashion, to any shipment tendered under this Agreement. Any change in rates, charges or rules
and regulations hereunder shall be mutually agreed to and confirmed in writing, signed by both Parties. Any such mutually
agreed and duly executed documents reflecting additional, modified, or amended rates or charges for the Services shall
automatically be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Carrier also agrees that Broker shall
not be liable to pay Carrier for any detention, loading, unloading, lumper, layover, accessional, turnpike fees, tolls, fuel
surcharges or adjustments, maintenance or any other ancillary expenses unless Broker provides prior written approval. Broker

shall not be responsible for any charge for equipment ordered not used unless Carrier obtains Broker’s prior written approval.
b. Mileage and Accessorial Charges. For each freight movement or shipment, the Parties may specify by mutual written
agreement the mileage to apply for the purposes of computing transportation charges if a mileage rate schedule applies.
Otherwise, the mileage according to the then current version of PC Miler will apply. There shall be no charge for waiting time
or demurrage other than as provided for in this paragraph. Carrier shall allow two (2) hours of free time for loading and after
that free time has expired, Broker shall pay for waiting at the rate of $20.00 per hour, not to exceed a total of $175.00.
Carrier shall allow two (2) hours of free time for unloading and after that free time has expired, Broker shall pay for waiting at
the rate of $20.00 per hour, not to exceed a total of $175.00. In order to be eligible to receive payment for waiting time,
Carrier must first furnish to Broker written proof of the time of arrival of the subject vehicle for loading/unloading and the time
of completion of the loading/unloading on the Bill of Lading for the subject shipment, or other appropriate and acceptable (to
Broker) shipping document. Time spent waiting prior to the time of opening for business of the consignor or consignee, as the
case may be, shall not be included in the computation of either free time or waiting time. In order to receive payment for
waiting time, Carrier must first give Broker advance telephone notice that chargeable waiting time is about to commence or
accrue so that Broker has an opportunity to intervene with the consignor/consignee in order to avert or minimize such charges
for waiting time. Carrier shall not be entitled to any payment for waiting time which was caused by an Act of God, the public
enemy, the authority of law, strikes or act of the Carrier, or because Carrier’s driver has run out of hours. Appointments for
loading and unloading are to be made at no additional charge. Waiting time incurred on account of Carrier’s failure to keep its
scheduled appointment for pick-up or delivery shall not be charged to Broker or Broker’s Customer(s). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Broker does not agree to provide any compensation to Carrier for wait times for pickup or delivery of shipments
involving produce and other fresh commodities; it being expressly understood and agreed between the Parties that all such
shipments shall be dealt with on a case by case basis by Broker and that Broker shall have sole discretion to determine
whether any waiting time may be paid to Carrier based on the relevant circumstances. Loads shall be held for delivery and/or
re-delivery at no additional charge. Upon the request of the consignor and/or consignee of any shipment transported by
Carrier pursuant to this Agreement for Carrier to load and/or unload any such shipment from Carrier’s vehicle, Carrier shall
provide such loading and/or unloading service at its own sole expense, unless otherwise agreed by Broker in writing.
c. Fuel Surcharge. Unless a separate and distinct fuel surcharge is specifically approved and agreed upon by Broker, in writing,
Broker shall have no responsibility for any fuel surcharges or adjustments. Carrier acknowledges and agrees that Carrier is
solely responsible for all costs and expenses that Carrier incurs for fuel unless Broker expressly agrees otherwise in writing for
any particular shipment.
d. As a condition of payment, Carrier shall submit to Broker the following documents in a form and manner in which the
documents are clear and readily legible to Broker and Broker’s Customers: (1) Carrier’s invoice; (2) clean bill(s) of lading; (3)
signed loading and/or delivery receipts for all transportation services provided under this Agreement; and (4) any other
documents reasonably required by Broker in order for Broker to secure payment in full from Broker’s Customer(s), including,
for example, scale tickets or lumper receipts or other documents which Broker may request. Carrier understands and
acknowledges that in the event that Carrier fails to submit to Broker all required documentation within 24 hours after delivery,
or, in the event 24 hours after delivery falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then, on or before 12:00 pm Eastern on
the first following day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then Broker shall impose administrative fees against
Carrier in an amount not exceeding $100.00 per day. Carrier understands and agrees that administrative fees imposed by
Broker under this Section will reduce the amount payable to Carrier for any shipment(s) so affected, and Carrier understands
and agrees that such administrative fees are reasonable.
e. Subject to the provisions of Section 6(d) and 6(f) of this Agreement, Broker agrees to pay Carrier for Services rendered under
this Agreement in accordance with the rates as agreed upon between the Parties, within thirty (30) days of Carrier’s
submission of its invoice along with all documents required by Section 6(d); provided, however, Carrier agrees that Broker
shall have no obligation to pay Carrier’s invoice until Broker has received payment from Broker’s Customer for the shipment in
question. Carrier shall not assess any late payment penalties against Broker or Broker’s Customer. Carrier shall undertake all
reasonable commercial efforts to invoice Broker within fifteen (15) days of the delivery of any shipment transported
hereunder, but in no event shall Carrier invoice Broker later than sixty (60) days following delivery of the shipment as
specified on the applicable bill of lading. Carrier invoices submitted to Broker later than sixty (60) days following delivery of
the shipment are waived. Further, Carrier hereby waives all claims for freight charges against any party (including, but not
limited to, Broker, Broker’s Customers, the shipper, the consignee and the consignor) if a lawsuit is not filed and served within
180 days of the date of delivery, or date of scheduled delivery, whichever is later. The time limit within which Broker must
institute suit against Carrier to recover on a claim shall be two years and a day from the date Broker receives a written
disallowance from Carrier.
f. Carrier agrees that Broker has the discretionary right to offset any payments owed to Carrier under this Agreement to the full
extent of any liability incurred or potentially incurred by Broker in connection with Carrier’s Services or transportation of any
shipment tendered under this Agreement; provided, however, that Broker shall furnish to Carrier a written explanation and
itemization of all deductions at the time such deductions are made. Actions of the Carrier (such as unreasonable delay,
shortage, loss of goods, etc.) which result in non-payment or delay in payment to Broker by Broker’s Customer, shall likewise

7 (800) CPL-6574 Initials:_______

affect final settlement to the Carrier, and shall be sufficient grounds for Broker to delay and/or set-off amounts otherwise due
to Carrier. Carrier agrees that Broker has the discretionary right to offset any payments owed to Carrier under this
Agreement by the amount of any administrative fees chargeable against Carrier as contemplated by Section 6(d) of this
Agreement.
g. Carrier hereby assigns to Broker any and all rights held by Carrier to bill any party to the bill of lading. Carrier agrees not to
invoice any of Broker’s Customers (including, but not limited to, the shipper, consignee and consignor) for shipments tendered
or transported under this Agreement. Carrier agrees that Broker has the exclusive right to handle all billing of freight charges
to Broker’s Customers for the transportation services provided in this Agreement, and, as such, Carrier expressly agrees to
refrain from all collection efforts against Broker’s Customers (including, but not limited to, the shipper, receiver, consignor,
and consignee), unless advance authorization is given in writing by Broker. Carrier has investigated, monitors, and agrees to
conduct business hereunder based on the creditworthiness of Broker and is granting Broker credit terms accordingly.
h. Carrier shall not withhold or refuse to deliver or delay delivery of any goods of any of Broker’s Customers on account of any
dispute as to rates or any alleged failure to receive payment of freight charges incurred under this Agreement. Carrier agrees
that it will not intentionally delay, retain, seize or assume control of a product or shipment subject to this Agreement, whether
as a lien for the payment of freight charges or otherwise. Carrier shall have no lien, and hereby expressly waives its right to
any lien of any kind on any cargo, freight or other property of Broker or any of Broker’s Customers. Broker is not required to
disclose its commission or brokerage revenue to Carrier, and Carrier waives its right to receive, audit and/or review such
information and documents as set forth in 49 C.F.R. § 371.3.
i. Carrier, from time to time, may request that Broker make early payment of properly invoiced charges in exchange for a
discount of the agreed rates for a given Service request or shipment (“Quick Pay”). In the event that Broker and Carrier reach
agreement whereby Broker agrees to provide Quick Pay for Carrier in exchange for a reduced invoice amount, such agreement
shall be documented in writing, shall become part of this Agreement, and shall be otherwise governed and controlled by the
terms of this Agreement. Upon Carrier’s agreement to the Quick Pay terms offered by Broker, the payment due to Carrier
shall become the negotiated Quick Pay rate, and nothing more, and Broker hereby automatically waives and releases any
claim for any amounts over and above the negotiated Quick Pay rate.

7. NON-SOLICITATION / CONFIDENTIALITY OF BUSINESS INFORMATION.


a. Carrier and Broker agree that Broker, at great expense and through great efforts, has developed a broad customer and vendor
base that is essential to Broker’s successful operation. Carrier acknowledges that its position as Service provider for Broker
under the terms of this Agreement gives Carrier access to special knowledge of Broker and Broker’s Customers, organization,
freight and brokerage rates, amounts received for brokerage services, amounts of freight charges collected, freight volume
requirements, customer information, both personal and commercial, customer shipping or other logistics requirements,
business methods, business processes, confidential information, proprietary information and trade secrets (hereafter
collectively “Confidential Business Information”) which could be harmful to Broker if used by any person or entity for any
purpose other than the promotion of Broker’s business as provided in this Agreement.
b. Carrier agrees that, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of termination
of this Agreement for any reason, neither Carrier nor any employee, officer, director, contractor, or agent of Carrier, shall
solicit, directly or indirectly, or otherwise engage in any transportation-related business with any shipper, consignor,
consignee, or customer of Broker. For purposes of this Section, Broker shall be deemed to have identified Broker’s Customers
to Carrier at the time any first shipment from any Broker Customer is tendered to Carrier for transportation. Carrier’s
acceptance of the shipment will represent and confirm Carrier’s acknowledgement that the new customer, shipper, consignor
or consignee is a Broker Customer and therefore subject to the protections set forth in this Section. Carrier shall have seven
(7) days after such “first load” moves to challenge, in writing, why the customer, shipper, consignor or consignee should not
be considered a Broker Customer. In any case of challenge, Broker and Carrier will endeavor to resolve and agree in writing
exactly how the customer will be handled. In the event Carrier violates the terms of this Paragraph and obtains traffic from or
otherwise engages in any transportation-related business with any Broker Customer, shipper, consignor or consignee, then
Broker shall be entitled, for a period of eighteen (18) months after the first such shipment, to a commission from the Carrier
in the amount of twenty-five percent (25%) of the gross revenue received by Carrier for any and all shipments transported for
Broker’s Customer, shipper, consignor or consignee.
c. Carrier agrees not to use Broker’s Confidential Business Information for any purpose other than in connection with Carrier’s
provision of Services under this Agreement. Carrier agrees that Carrier will not disclose, or otherwise make available, to any
third party any of the Confidential Business Information that Carrier may gain through its relationship with Broker, unless
otherwise agreed by Broker in writing. Carrier agrees not to disclose, or otherwise make available, any of Broker’s
Confidential Business Information to any employee of Carrier except those employees who are required to have the
information in order to provide services under this Agreement. Carrier shall not make any copies of Broker’s Confidential
Business Information unless the same are previously approved in writing by Broker. Carrier shall immediately notify Broker in
the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Broker’s Confidential Business Information. Carrier agrees that, in the
event of any breach of the covenants contained in this Section 7, Broker will be entitled to, in addition to any other rights and

remedies, an injunction or restraining order restraining Carrier from committing or continuing to commit any breach of these
provisions, and Carrier hereby consents to the issuance of such injunction or restraining order or other equitable relief without
bond or other security and without the necessity of actual damage to Broker.
d. Carrier understands and agrees that the provisions of the preceding paragraphs 7(a), 7(a) and 7(c) are reasonable as to
scope, duration, and geographic area, in light of the mutual promises and other valuable consideration the parties have
agreed to in this Agreement. Further, Carrier agrees that any violation of any covenant outlined in Paragraphs 7(a), 7(b) and
7(c) of this Agreement will cause irreparable injury to Broker, and that Broker will be entitled to a restraining order and an
injunction without establishing actual damage and without posting a bond or other security.

8. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. The relationship between Carrier and Broker shall, at all times, be that of independent
contractors and not partners, joint venturers, agents or employees. As independent contractors, the Parties agree as follows:
a. Carrier, at its sole cost and expense, shall employ, pay, supervise, discipline, direct and control all personnel Carrier utilizes to
perform Services under this Agreement. The Parties recognize and agree that Broker does not control and has no right to
direct or control the performance of any driver and/or employee, contractor, subcontractor or agent of Carrier. Under no
circumstances shall Carrier or any of its employees, contractors, subcontractors or agents hold themselves out to be
employees of Broker or Broker’s Customers.
b. Carrier and Broker agree that the safe and legal operation of Carrier’s motor vehicles by its assigned drivers shall completely
supersede and override any requests, demands, preferences, information or instructions from Broker or Broker’s Customers
with respect to any shipment at any time. The Parties agree that Broker at all times will be acting as an independent
contractor, and not an employee, agent, or principal of a shipper or any of Broker’s Customers.
c. Carrier agrees that a shipper’s or Carrier’s insertion of Broker’s name on the bill of lading is without authorization and shall be
for shipper convenience only and shall not change Broker’s status as a broker, nor shall it change Carrier’s status or liability as
the delivering motor carrier.
d. Carrier agrees that any driving instructions or routing instructions given by Broker are for informational purposes only.
Carrier has the sole responsibility to determine and ensure the appropriate equipment, route and safe operation of motor
vehicles performing Services under this Agreement. Carrier is solely and exclusively responsible for the route Carrier actually
takes to deliver any shipment tendered under this Agreement.
e. Carrier shall and does assume full responsibility for all state and federal taxes, assessments, costs and fees, and any and all
contributions, benefits, taxes and any other payments or assessments which may be contemplated by the employment
relationship between Carrier and its employees, agents and servants, including, without limitation, taxes for unemployment
insurance, pensions, workers’ compensation or Social Security. Broker shall not be liable for any of the payroll-related tax
obligations specified above and Carrier shall indemnify, defend, and hold Broker harmless from any claim or liability imposed
or asserted against Broker for any such obligations.
f. Carrier, at its sole cost and expense, shall furnish all equipment required for its Services hereunder and shall maintain all
equipment in good repair and condition in full compliance with the FMCSRs. Carrier recognizes and agrees that Broker has no
duty and no right to direct or control the manner in which Carrier maintains its equipment or the manner in which Carrier
documents its equipment maintenance activities.
g. Broker and Carrier recognize and agree that Broker hereby disclaims any and all carrier duties, all such duties being borne
exclusively by Carrier, and by executing this Agreement, Carrier expressly accepts and affirms said disclaimer.
h. Carrier and Broker acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not bind the respective Parties to exclusive services to
each other. Either Party may enter into similar agreements with other carriers, brokers, or freight forwarders; provided,
however, that Carrier must do so without violating any of the provisions set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement.
i. Carrier, for itself and on behalf of all agents and subcontractors, must waive any lien that may exist against Goods. Carrier
shall not withhold delivery of any Goods due to any dispute with Broker, Customers, shippers, consignees or any other parties.

9. EXPENSES. Carrier shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the maintenance and
operation of Carrier’s equipment, including, but not limited to, fuel, oil, tires, parts, supplies, regular maintenance, periodic
inspections, annual inspections, plates, IFTA taxes, state taxes, road service and repair, towing services and any and all other
licensure, services or equipment necessary or appropriate for the safe operation of Carrier’s vehicles and equipment as required
under applicable law.

10. CO-BROKERING / DOUBLE-BROKERING. Carrier shall not cause or permit any shipment tendered hereunder to be
transported by any other motor carrier or in substituted service by railroad or other modes of transportation. Carrier does not
have the right to subcontract, assign, interline, allocate, broker, co-broker, forward, or tender any cargo tendered to Carrier under
this Agreement to any third party or subcontractor without Broker’s prior written consent, and in such case only if Carrier has valid
and applicable brokerage authority with the FMCSA. Carrier does not have the right in any way to negate, eliminate, circumvent,
alleviate or reduce Carrier’s liability to Broker or Broker’s Customers, and any attempt to do so shall be null and void. If Carrier
breaches this provision, Broker shall have the right to withhold payment to Carrier and to pay the monies it would otherwise owe

to Carrier directly to the delivering carrier in lieu of payment to Carrier, with no further recourse by Carrier against Broker.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Carrier shall not be released from any liability to Broker under this Agreement by virtue of Broker
paying the delivering motor carrier directly in lieu of payment to Carrier. Carrier shall be liable for any and all damages, including
but not limited to consequential damages and attorneys’ fees, arising out of any violation of the requirements set forth in this
Section.

11. MODIFICATION/WAIVER; SEVERABILITY; INTERPRETATION. No modification of this Agreement, and no waiver of any
breach of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Party against whom
enforcement is sought. Should Carrier modify any provision of this Agreement, whether in handwritten form, modified text or
otherwise, such amendment shall not be effective unless Broker has initialed such change in close proximity thereto evidencing
Broker’s specific acceptance of such modification. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement and no course of dealing between
the Parties will be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of this Agreement, nor shall it affect or limit the right of either
Party to thereafter enforce such a term or provision. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. If a court of competent
jurisdiction declares any provision of such is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed or deleted
and the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions will in no way be affected or impaired thereby. Each Party

reasonable efforts to resume such performance.
