(f) an accident while en-route with a load; (g) any actual or suspected damage to equipment; (h) any actual or suspected breach of the seal on any
trailer or container; and (i) any spill, release, discharge, contamination or similar environmental accident involving cargo, equipment, terminals,
facilities or other property and occurring in connection with Carrier’s Transportation Services.
Carrier will also notify VAB LOGISTICS, immediately (no later than 60 minutes) by telephone or by e-mail followed by written confirmation (within
4 hours) of any refused or “on-hand” cargo and request additional instructions regarding delivery or storage of “on-hand” cargo.
Carrier will not accept instructions for diversion or re-consignment from any consignee without notice to VAB LOGISTICS, and VAB
LOGISTICS’s confirmation of the diversion or re-consignment.

4. Rates and Accessorial Charges e.t.c.

The following provisions will not apply to any Customer for which the parties have entered into a Customer specific appendix that address line-haul
rates or different methodologies for establishing rates, fuel surcharge or accessorial charges. Under those circumstances, the methodology for such
Customer shall be as specified in such Customer specific appendix.
Line-haul rates, fuel surcharge and accessorial charges between a particular origin and destination may vary for different Customers. Carrier and VAB
LOGISTICS will mutually agree on any changes. The rates, fuel surcharge and accessorial charges set forth in any accepted load tender notification
will apply to the load described in the load tender notification.
If Carrier receives a load tender notification with an correct rate, fuel surcharge or accessorial charges, Carrier will notify the VAB LOGISTICS,
pricing department and the dispatch office before providing the transportation service. By handling the load, Carrier will be considered to have
accepted the rates, accessorial charges and the fuel surcharge as stated on the load tender notification given by VAB LOGISTICS.
Verbal rates are required to be confirmed in writing such as through Carrier’s acceptance of VAB LOGISTICS’s load tender notifications/Rate
Confirmation confirming the verbal rate. In some cases, Carrier may be required to countersign the load tender notification/ Rate Confirmation to
confirm the rate.
In case any kind of Accessorial charges were charged at Shipper while loading or at Delivery location carrier/Driver/ Carrier Dispatcher need to
Inform Vab logistics Concern Dispatcher by email for Prior Approval from the customer, In case the this procedure is not foll owed VAB logistics is
not liable to pay any such Accessorial fee.
To the extent that any rate listing, accessorial charges, rules or other document provided by Carrier to VAB LOGISTICS is consistent with the
Contract or this appendix, the terms of this Contract and this appendix in such order will prevail.
Carrier will sign the accessorial schedules and return them to VAB LOGISTICS, Carrier will be bound by the accessorial charges regardless of
whether Carrier signs the accessorial charge schedules and returns it to VAB LOGISTICS.
Carrier will follow the VAB LOGISTICS accessorial process on all accessorial charges for which Carrier intends to charge VAB LOGISTICS
Carrier understands and agrees that VAB LOGISTICS will not be required to pay for accessorial charges if Carrier fails to comply with any
of these procedures. VAB LOGISTICS may modify this accessorial process from time to time. The current accessorial process requires compliance
with all of the following:
1. Carrier will notify VAB LOGISTICS through Email at its appropriate dispatch office at the time (no later than 4 hours after) any accessorial
charge other than storage and equipment per diem starts. Carrier will notify VAB LOGISTICS verbally at its appropriate dispatch office on the
same time within one hour that any storage or equipment per diem begins to accrue.
2. Carrier must deliver to VAB LOGISTICS, an invoice for the accessorial charges within 5 days of the last chargeable day of the accessorial.
The invoice must include all documentation to support the accessorial charge, including in/out times and signatures of the Customer or
consignee where applicable. The accessorial invoice must be included as a separate line item on the same invoice as the transportation charges
for the shipment on which the accessorial charge accrued. Each accessorial charge must match exactly the information received on the original
load tender/Rate Confirmation and/or subsequently approved charges.
Carrier’s failure to comply with any one of the foregoing procedures will result in VAB LOGISTICS’s non-payment of such accessorial
charges. To the greatest extent permitted by law, Carrier waives and releases any right or claim for payment of accessorial charges not
submitted in accordance with the foregoing procedures.
5. Invoicing Procedures
Unless otherwise agreed to in a written agreement signed by VAB LOGISTICS and Carrier (such as a Customer-specific appendix), Carrier will
invoice VAB LOGISTICS, no later than 5 days from the date that the shipment was delivered, and the invoice must include all applicable support
documentation required by the Customer. VAB LOGISTICS and Carrier may establish procedures for the invoicing and payment of charges of
Carrier and/or VAB LOGISTICS, via electronic means. Carrier may use any web-based invoicing system adopted by VAB LOGISTICS from time to
time and if it uses such system, will comply with applicable procedures for that system. All Carrier invoices, whether in electronic format or hard
copy, must include appropriate and legible documentation of the Transportation Service performed. In case carrier not invoice load and Vab Logistics
not received invoice within 5 days from delivery of the load Vab Logistics can charge Penalty to carrier $25 per day.
Carrier acknowledges and agrees that, in light of the time and expense required to review and reconcile late invoices and the difficulty of verifying

 Logistics

stale documentation, it will not submit invoices for transportation services more than 45 days after the delivery date and that such invoices will be
invalid and expressly waives any right to or claim for payment for such transportation charges.
VAB LOGISTICS will pay Carrier’s invoice within 30 days following VAB LOGISTICS’s receipt of the invoice if the invoice amounts match
amounts shown to be due under VAB LOGISTICS, billing and other systems and all requirements stated above are met. VAB LOGISTICS, and
Carrier may agree to discounts for early payment by executing VAB LOGISTICS’s Quick Pay Program agreement, which is attached as Appendix
B. Carrier may not assess any service charge or interest penalty against VAB LOGISTICS unless VAB LOGISTICS has failed to pay any undisputed
and fully documented invoice within 45 days of the payment due date and Carrier provides additional specific written notice to VAB LOGISTICS,
that it intends to commence accruing interest on such undisputed and fully documented invoice balance. Such service charge or interest penalty may
not exceed 1% per month, simple interest. Carrier must commence an action for the recovery of charges relating to any shipment subject to this
Contract within 12 months of the date of delivery of the shipment.
If VAB LOGISTICS, receives an invoice for an amount greater than the amount that VAB LOGISTICS’s billing systems show to be due under this
Contract, VAB LOGISTICS, will pay only the amounts that the VAB LOGISTICS, systems show are due. Carrier will be responsible for submitting
invoice clearly marked “balance due” with a copy of the load tender/Rate Confirmation, accessorial acknowledgement or documentation to support the
unpaid balance due amount. Carrier (a) acknowledges and agrees that, in light of the time and expense required to review and reconcile balance due
invoices and the difficulty of verifying stale documentation, invoices for “balance due” submitted more than 45 days after VAB LOGISTICS, short
pays the original invoice or otherwise notifies Carrier of the declination will be declined and the balance due amount will be considered invalid and
(b) Expressly waives, any right to or claim for payment of late “balance due” invoices.

6. Charge-backs and Set-offs

VAB LOGISTICS, may invoice Carrier for any charge backs and other amounts due under Appendix A using its standard invoicing procedures.
Charge-backs for which Carrier is responsible include (a) overcharges; (b) cargo claims for delay, damage, injury or loss of cargo for which Carrier is
liable under this Contract; (c) miss-delivered loads due to miscommunication or lack of communication from or other fault of Carrier or Carrier
Representatives; (d) failure to meet an appointment due to Carrier’s negligence or other fault when the missed appointment results in a charge back
from Customer, storage expenses, alternative transportation costs or equipment charges; and (e) storage charges occurred due to Carrier missing an
appointment time as a result of Carrier’s negligence or fault. Carrier will pay any amounts due to VAB LOGISTICS, within 30 days following receipt
of the invoice describing the charges. If Carrier fails to make timely payment of an undisputed chargeback or to dispute the chargeback in writing with
reasonable support for the dispute within such 30 day period and VAB LOGISTICS, Provides Carrier with specific notice of its intent to deduct the
undisputed chargeback, VAB LOGISTICS, may deduct from amounts due from VAB LOGISTICS, to Carrier any accrued but unpaid charged-back
items and other amounts due from Carrier.

7. Security Procedures
To facilitate the timely delivery of shipments, Carrier may from time to time, either at VAB LOGISTICS’s request or for Carrier’s convenience, store
the shipment overnight or for longer periods. Any such storage must be provided at a secure facility. During such time, Carrier shall remain liable for
the cargo and equipment as a common carrier as provided herein. Carrier must verify before it places a shipment in such a facility that, unless
otherwise approved by VAB LOGISTICS, ., such facility has 24 hour/7 day a week security, video surveillance, fencing at least six feet high, strict
control over entering and exiting the facility and other reasonable security precautions. If the facility does not meet these requirements, then Carrier
will not store the load at such facility and will promptly notify VAB LOGISTICS, for further direction.
VAB LOGISTICS, may from time to time at the request or direction of Customers establish security procedures for property transported under this
Contract and notify Carrier of such procedures. Carrier will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such security procedures. Carrier will allow
VAB LOGISTICS, or its Customers to audit and inspect, during normal working hours, Carrier’s facilities, records, warehouses, and equipment to
verify that the security procedures have been implemented and followed.
