Vendor and Shipper may be individually referred to herein as a "Party" or collectively as the "Parties". The liability of any legal entity included in the definition of Shipper above is several and not joint and in no event will any such entity be responsible to Vendor for any liabilities of any other entity.

WHEREAS, for purposes of this Agreement, Vendor is either: (i) an authorized for-hire motor carrier that owns or controls motor vehicles operating pursuant to such for-hire motor carrier authority between points within the United States and between a point in the United States and a point in Canada (such services, hereinafter the "Carrier Services"); or (ii) authorized by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration ("FMCSA") to operate as a property broker and in such capacity is engaged in the business of arranging for-hire motor carrier transportation services with third party motor carriers (each a "Selected Carrier") between points within the United States and between a point in the United States and a point in Canada (such services, hereinafter the "Logistics Services"); and

WHEREAS, Shipper requires Carrier Services or Logistics Services (collectively or individually, the "Services") and wishes for Vendor to provide such Services; and

WHEREAS, both Parties intend to enter into a contract as authorized under 49 U.S.C. 14101(b) to provide the Services under specified rates and conditions;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

Scope.

The terms of this Agreement, as amended or supplemented by written agreement of the Parties, shall govern the relationship of the Parties. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of any appendix or schedule hereto, or to the extent that an appendix or schedule addresses matters not addressed herein, the Parties hereby agree that the terms of the appendix or schedule shall control.

This Agreement applies to all transportation performed by Vendor where Shipper has the right to select a carrier or where Shipper otherwise does select a carrier regardless of Shipper's status with respect to any individual shipment (e.g., consignor, consignee, or third-party payor). Vendor specifically represents that it holds all regulatory authority to provide the Services covered by this Agreement, but for which representation Shipper would not have entered into this Agreement. Where Vendor operates under multiple SCAC Codes, this Agreement shall apply to any transportation services rendered to Shipper by Vendor under any of its SCAC Codes.

Under this Agreement, Shipper will have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain the services of the Vendor as more particularly described herein. The Parties intend that this Agreement shall not be exclusive. Nothing herein shall grant Vendor any exclusive right to perform motor carrier services on behalf of Shipper or obligate Shipper to tender any minimum amount of cargo to Vendor.

FOOD TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AGREEMENT

(Carrier or Broker)

Vendors providing Logistics Services may subcontract the performance of Carrier Services to a Selected Carrier (a "Subcontractor"), but shall remain directly liable to Shipper pursuant to these terms and conditions for any and all acts or omissions of any Subcontractor as if such acts or omissions were committed directly by Vendor. Vendor shall contractually require any such Subcontractor to comply with all provisions of this Agreement which apply to Carrier Services. Vendors providing Logistics Services may not subcontract the performance of Logistics Services to any other person or entity without the express written consent of Shipper. In no event will any Vendor authorized to provide Carrier Services subcontract, broker, or otherwise allow any third party to provide such Services unless Vendor is authorized to provide Logistics Services. Vendors providing Logistics Services shall ensure that any Subcontractor does not further subcontract or otherwise allow a third party to transport cargo tendered to such Subcontractor by Vendor. The foregoing notwithstanding, if a Vendor that is not authorized to provide Logistics Services nevertheless subcontracts or otherwise allows a third party to perform or arrange Carrier Services, or if a Subcontractor of a Vendor further subcontracts the provision of Services, then any party that is arranging or performing the Carrier Services shall be deemed to be a Subcontractor of Vendor, and Vendor shall be responsible for any and all acts and omissions of any such party and, without limiting any other right of Shipper hereunder, Shipper may pay such Subcontractor directly, which payment shall relieve Shipper of any obligation to pay Vendor for the Services in question.

Shipper may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice in any of the following events:

(i)

Vendor loses its property broker or operating authority, receives an "unsatisfactory", unfit, or analogous safety rating from the U.S. Department of Transportation ("DOT") (or an analogous safety rating from any other governmental agency with jurisdiction over Vendor's operations), or otherwise becomes disqualified to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including where applicable, but not limited to, failure to qualify under Shipper's carrier qualification protocol as the same may be revised from time to time;

(ii)

Vendor breaches any covenant, obligation, condition, or requirement imposed upon it by this Agreement, and such breach continues for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof from Shipper to Vendor;

(iii)

Vendor becomes insolvent, files for or is forced to file for protection under bankruptcy laws or similar federal, state or provincial laws, or becomes unable to pay its debts in a timely manner;

(iv)

Vendor fails to comply with the performance metrics, if any, imposed upon it by Shipper as set forth in this Agreement;

(v)

Vendor fails to procure and maintain any of the insurance coverages required by this Agreement; or

If goods are tendered to Vendor and a reasonable person would understand that the goods require controlled temperature transportation, and Vendor has not been provided instructions regarding controlled temperature goods, Vendor shall request and obtain such instructions prior to loading the goods. If Vendor receives contradictory or confusing instructions regarding any shipment, Vendor must resolve the contradictory or confusing instructions prior to accepting the shipment for transport.

(iv)

With respect to cargo requiring controlled temperature transportation, Vendor shall abide by the following: (1) Vendor or its Subcontractor shall perform regularly scheduled maintenance on any refrigeration unit used to transport cargo pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with manufacturer recommendations, and shall maintain records of such maintenance; (2) Vendor or its Subcontractor shall ensure all refrigeration units are sufficiently fueled; (3) Vendor or its Subcontractor is responsible to ensure pre-cooling of all Transportation Equipment prior to pick-up; (4) Vendor shall ensure that all trailers are equipped with functioning temperature monitoring devices capable of demonstrating that required temperatures were maintained during the entire period of transit; and (5) Vendor will only use or permit the use of refrigeration equipment capable of producing a downloadable report demonstrating that required temperatures were maintained throughout the entire period of transit.

(v)

Unless a shipment is loaded and sealed prior to arrival of Vendor's or its Subcontractor's personnel, the manner of loading and securing freight upon equipment shall be the sole responsibility of Vendor or its Subcontractor. With respect to unsealed loads loaded prior to the arrival of Vendor or its Subcontractor, Vendor or its Subcontractor shall be obligated to inspect such loading prior to departing. Vendor represents that each driver utilized by it or any of its Subcontractors shall be competent to manage the loading and transportation of the goods subject to this Agreement.

(vii)

Vendor agrees that food that has been transported or offered for transport under conditions that are not in compliance with the load handling instructions, as provided to Vendor, including where Vendor cannot provide a report demonstrating that required temperatures were maintained during the entire period of transit, may be considered adulterated or contaminated.

Vendor must accept or decline each load tender within seventy-five (75) minutes from the time the load tender transmission is received from Shipper.

Vendor or its Subcontractor shall obtain receipts for goods delivered as required by Shipper. If requested by Shipper, Vendor shall promptly provide copies of such receipts or other documents to Shipper.

Vendor shall retain all reports, receipts, documents or other records required to be maintained or prepared by Vendor for a period of not less than three (3) years, or for such greater period of time as maybe required by law, and shall promptly furnish a copy thereof to Shipper upon request. It is stipulated that records maintained in the manner provided herein shall be admissible for all purposes in the event of dispute or litigation.

Loss, Damage, and Delay.

Vendor agrees to transport Shipper's goods safely, efficiently, and according to the instructions of the Shipper. Subject to the terms, conditions, and provisions herein or in any applicable appendix or schedule hereto, Vendor shall be liable to Shipper for all freight loss, damage, and delay to the goods tendered to Vendor or transported by it, as if a common carrier under the Xxxxxxx Amendment to the Interstate Commerce Act (as currently codified at 49 U.S.C. § 14706 and as amended from time to time) regardless of whether such loss, damage, or delay occurs in transit or while such goods are being stored by Vendor awaiting delivery and regardless of whether a different standard would otherwise apply in the absence of this Agreement. The measure of the loss, damage or injury shall be the market value of the kind and quantity of the freight so lost, damaged or destroyed but shall not exceed $150,000 per shipment unless Shipper has declared additional value in accordance with the provisions herein. No lower limitation of liability shall apply. Shipper may request that Vendor accept a higher maximum liability. In such an event, the increased valuation will be stated in the load confirmation agreed to between Vendor and Shipper. Vendor's acceptance of the load shall evidence Vendor's acknowledgement that Vendor agrees that it will be liable for the increased valuation (of the full value of the goods, whichever is less), and that Vendor agrees to maintain cargo insurance up to the full amount of such valuation. Upon request, Vendor will provide Shipper evidence of such increased cargo insurance limits, which insurance will comply with the provisions of this Agreement governing cargo insurance.

Vendor acknowledges that goods or products shipped by Shipper are perishable and time sensitive. Where there is evidence that a shipment was subjected to inappropriate temperatures, Shipper, in its sole discretion, may determine that the shipment may have been rendered injurious to health and may reject the entire shipment or any portion thereof.

49 C.F.R. Part 370 will govern handling and processing of claims and salvage except to the extent that any provision of such regulations conflicts with this Agreement in which case the Agreement will control.

If a shipment is refused by the consignee, or if Vendor or its Subcontractor is unable to deliver it for any reason, Vendor's or its Subcontractor's liability as a warehouseman will not begin until the goods have been placed in Vendor's or its Subcontractor's terminal or in a public warehouse or other storage facility under reasonable security and reasonable conditions.

Vendor shall promptly notify Shipper of any accidents, spills, theft, hijacking, delays or shortages that impair the safe and prompt delivery of the goods in its custody or control and Vendor shall take such steps as may be reasonable under the circumstances to mitigate the delay, loss or damage. Vendor shall promptly notify Shipper of any refused or "on hand" goods and request additional instructions regarding delivery or storage of such goods. Such instructions by Shipper shall be promptly acknowledged by Vendor in writing, stating the amount, date, and time storage charges, if any, shall begin to accrue. Under no circumstances shall the Vendor and any Subcontractor be allowed to dispose of damaged or refused product at its own discretion. All disposition of on hand product shall be at the direction of Shipper.

if Vendor fails to complete any shipment of goods and if Shipper, or any person acting on behalf of Shipper, completes such trip, Vendor shall be responsible for the actual costs of such completed transport.

Vendor shall return damaged goods caused by Vendor's or its Subcontractor's negligence at Vendor's expense to the point of origin or, with Vendor's and Shipper's consent, to another point designated by Shipper's Logistics Coordinator.

Vendor's liability for goods lost or damaged shall include any reasonable expenses incurred by Shipper to mitigate its damages. Vendor shall also be liable for Shipper's reasonable administrative expenses incurred in connection with the filing of claims against Vendor, plus a proportion of the freight charge for the entire shipment, equal to the ratio of the weight of lost or damaged goods to the weight of the entire shipment unless the value of the goods already includes freight costs,

Shipper must file all claims against Vendor within nine (9) months from the date of delivery in the case of damaged or destroyed goods and within nine (9) months of the scheduled delivery date in the case of lost goods. All claims shall be paid, settled, or disallowed by written notice given by Vendor to Shipper within ninety (90) days of filing. Failure to pay, settle or notify Shipper of a disallowance within such 90-day period shall constitute approval of the claim in full. Any disallowances shall state a lawful reason for the Vendor declining to accept responsibility for the claim, and shall be stated by the Vendor, not its insurer.

Shipper may initiate a claim by providing either a written notice to Vendor or by having the consignee or its agent clearly write an exception notation on the delivery receipt.

Any written notice of claim shall be promptly acknowledged by Vendor in writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such claim. Failure to so acknowledge the receipt of the claim within such 15-day period shall be conclusively deemed to constitute approval of the claim in full by Vendor.

Claims based on a concealed loss or damage reported to Vendor by Shipper or consignee within fifteen (15) days of the date of delivery shall be treated by Vendor as though an exception notation had been made on the delivery receipt at the time of delivery.

A claim by Shipper shall not be invalidated by Vendor solely because Shipper is unable to exactly determine the amount of the claim within the time period referenced in section 8i.

The time limit within which Shipper must institute suit against Vendor to recover on a claim shall be two (2) years from the date Shipper receives a written disallowance from Vendor.

If Shipper recovers on a claim against Vendor, Shipper shall be entitled to recover from Vendor, in addition to its other recoveries, all of Shipper’s costs and expenses reasonably incurred In collecting its claim, including reasonable attorney's fees and interest at the annual rate of twelve percent (12%) from the date of delivery or scheduled delivery of the shipment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or elsewhere, whether or not Vendor or its insurer has paid Shipper partial, full, or other value for any damaged goods, and whether or not title to such goods has been transferred to Vendor, its insurer or their respective assigns, in no event shall Vendor, its insurer or their respective assigns sell, distribute, or otherwise place into commerce any of such damaged goods without first removing from each of the goods and their packaging, at Vendor's cost, all trademarks, trade names, logos, labels and other brand name identification affixed to such damaged goods or their packaging and obtaining the prior written consent of Shipper to the course of action for disposal proposed, which Shipper may deny in its sole discretion. Vendor waives any and all rights to salvage with respect to goods tendered to Vendor for transport, including, but not limited to, any right to a credit or offset related to loss, damage or destruction of such goods.

Further, no product deemed by Shipper to be a potential health hazard or danger to the general public pursuant with DOT, FDA, USDA or other competent federal, state, or local authority concerning food safety rules, regulations, or practices shall be allowed to be salvaged, but shall be dumped at Vendor's expense without any deduction or other allowance to the full value of the Shipper's filed claim amount. In addition to all other remedies at law or in equity, Shipper shall be entitled to the equitable remedy of specific performance with respect to any such breach.

Vendor shall be considered to have been given proper notice of a potential claim by Shipper whenever (and at the time) product is either rejected by consignee or an exception is noted on the delivery receipt. If Vendor or its Subcontractor experiences any reefer trailer mechanical problems in transit, and a dear delivery receipt is erroneously provided for that particular shipment (because, for example, temperatures are back within an acceptable range at time of delivery), Vendor shall not use such documentation as a basis for disallowance of Shipper's claims should any subsequent claim be filed due to any mechanical (including temperature) variance experienced as a result of such malfunction. Shipper shall use commercially reasonable efforts to inspect and test incoming product as quickly as possible to verify whether or not actual damage due to temperature abuse occurred. Unless Vendor requests its own inspection conducted within thirty (30) days of delivery or rejection, Vendor shall be conclusively deemed to have irrevocably waived any further inspection, and Shipper or its agent's own Inspection Report shall prevail. Any product deemed unsalvageable by Shipper shall be dumped after this thirty (30) day period at Vendor's expense. Any decision by Vendor to waive Vendor inspection or failure to timely inspect the damaged product relinquishes any future Vendor right to challenge the results of Shipper's own inspection and/or test results.

Except as provided in the following sentence, all loads are considered Shipper Load, Vendor Count. If shipments are loaded onto drop trailers and counted by the Shipper, referred to as Shipper Load and Count, (SL&C), Vendor or its Subcontractor shall count the goods at the first point at which the drop trailer containing the goods is to be unloaded and Vendor shall promptly report damaged goods, overages, and shortages to Shipper and promptly confirm the same in writing.

Due to the risk of terrorism and vandalism, all Shipper trailer loads must be sealed. Shipper of product must write the seal number on the xxxx of lading. Vendor and its Subcontractors shall insure that their drivers do not affix any seal(s) to the trailer door themselves, but that only the Shipper itself performs this function. At time of actual delivery, only the consignee is allowed to break the seal(s) to insure that the correct seal(s) is intact. Consignee shall note on the delivery receipt that the seal(s) is intact and driver must request that the consignee expressly note the seal number(s) next to such notation as well, in addition, no driver is allowed to remove the seal(s) in transit unless instructed to do so by Shipper's Logistics Coordinator or competent legal authority with such proof attached to the delivery receipt. After the completion of each stop, a new seal or padlock shall be placed on the trailer and Vendor or its Subcontractor shall comply with the seal requirements set forth in this Agreement. Vendor shall be presumptively liable to Shipper for all damages or loss caused by, or resulting from or in connection with Vendor's failure to comply with the seal requirements set forth in this Agreement.

If the policy contains such exclusions, Vendor shall obtain and furnish a surety bond providing such coverage to the satisfaction of Shipper.

If Vendor is providing Carrier Services (including if Vendor renders both Logistics Services and Carrier Services), Vendor shall obtain and maintain, and any Subcontractor used by any Vendor to provide Carrier Services shall obtain and maintain,: (i) Commercial Automobile Liability ("AL") Insurance to cover liability for bodily injury, including death, and property damage with a combined single limit of at least $ 2,000,000 per occurrence; and (ii) Broad Form Motor Truck Cargo Legal Liability insurance ("Cargo Insurance") in an amount not less than $150,000 per occurrence which insurance shall have no exclusions or restrictions of any type that would be likely to result in denial of claims, including but not limited to any exclusion for unattended vehicles, loss of or from trailers unattached to power units, foodstuffs, perishable commodities, reefer malfunction, lack of reefer fuel, failure to set or maintain the appropriate temperature or for the infidelity, fraud, dishonesty, or criminal acts of Vendor's or its Subcontractors employees, agents, officers or directors. If the policy contains such exclusions, Vendor shall obtain and furnish a surety bond providing such coverage to the satisfaction of Shipper.

All insurance required to be maintained hereunder will be underwritten by insurers maintaining an AM Best Rating of A- or better. Vendor makes no warranty or representation of any kind that insurance maintained by Vendor hereunder shall suffice to cover any liabilities that Vendor may incur hereunder. Deductible amounts under the insurance policies shall be paid by Vendor. Vendor shall furnish to Shipper upon request Certificates of Insurance evidencing the coverages required above (and if Shipper so directs, copies of the actual insurance policies), and containing the unequivocal agreement on the part of the insurer to notify Shipper of the cancellation of or any material changes in said insurance policies at least thirty (30) days prior to such cancellation or change. Shipper shall be named as an additional insured on a primary and noncontributory basis on Vendor's CGL, AL and TBL policies, and as a loss payee on Vendor's Cargo Insurance. Such insurance shall be primary with respect to all insureds. Such insurance shall be applicable separately to each insured and will cover claims, suits, actions or proceedings by each insured against any other insured.

If Vendor or a Subcontractor is self-insured, it will provide evidence of such, including proof of acceptance of self-insurance status by the FMCSA or other governing agency.

All insurance policies shall provide for waiver of underwriter's subrogation rights against Shipper, its officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries, and affiliates.

Vendor shall promptly notify Shipper if any of Vendor's or its Subcontractor's insurance coverage described above is cancelled, impaired or otherwise invalidated. Vendor's or Subcontractor's failure to comply with any element of the insurance requirements set forth herein shall entitle Shipper to immediately suspend all performance hereunder, pending compliance by Vendor or the Subcontractor.

11.

Rates.

Rates applicable to shipments transported under this Agreement shall be set forth in one or more documents incorporated as Appendix A to this Agreement or a schedule thereto by mutual written agreement of the Shipper and the Vendor ("Rate Document"). Amendments or changes to such rates shall be made only in writing and acknowledged by Shipper and Vendor. Each Rate Document shall identify the time period and shipments to which it applies.
