(d) Workers compensation insurance, where applicable, in an amount not less than the statutory limits for the state(s) or provinces of domicile, including employer's liability insurance in an amount not less than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000). If Carrier is self-insured, a certificate of the state of domicile must be furnished by such state agency directly to Swift.

(e) Any insurance coverages required by any government body for the types of transportation and related services specified in a Dispatch Letter.

All insurance required by this Agreement or a Dispatch Letter must be written by an insurance company having a Best's rating of "B" or better and must be authorized to do business under the laws of the state(s) or provinces in which Carrier provides the transportation and related services under all of the Dispatch Letters. Carrier's insurance shall be primary and required to respond and pay prior to any other available coverage. Carrier agrees that Carrier, Carrier's insurer(s), and anyone claiming by, through or under Carrier shall not have a claim, right of action, or right of subrogation against Swift or its Customer based on any loss or liability insured under the foregoing insurance. Carrier shall and represents that it has, prior to providing transportation and related services pursuant to this Agreement, provided Swift Transportation Corporation with a certificate of insurance for each of the foregoing insurance policies and attached a copy thereof to this Agreement as Attachment 4 to Appendix A. Carrier represents and warrants that it will continuously fulfill the requirements of this Section 5 throughout the duration of this Agreement. Swift shall be notified in writing by Carrier's insurance company at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation, change or nonrenewal of the submitted insurance policies.

6. Carrier's Rates and Charges.

6.1 Rates and Charges. The rates between specified points, and charges, if applicable, including any fuel surcharge, detention and/or accessorial charges, are set forth in each Dispatch Letter issued by Swift from time to time pursuant to this Agreement. Carrier agrees that there are no other applicable rates or charges except

5 Carrier Initials ___ / Swift Initials___

Page 11: Freight Hauling Logistics announces new President – Special

those established in a Dispatch Letter, and to the extent that charges are not included in a Dispatch Letter, then no additional charges shall be added to Carrier's rates and the services shall be deemed to be included in Carrier’s rates.

Carrier shall have no lien on and hereby waives its rights to any lien upon the cargo transported or stored by Carrier or any portion thereof.

6.2 Payment. Carrier shall bill Swift the rates and charges set forth in an applicable Dispatch Letter for Carrier's transportation and related services performed pursuant to that Dispatch Letter. Swift shall pay Carrier's freight bill within the period specified in that Dispatch Letter, or, if not specified, within twenty-one (21) days following Swift's receipt of Carrier's freight bill, provided Carrier provides Swift signed delivery receipts and all other appropriate shipping documents with Carrier’s freight bill. If specified in a Dispatch Letter, or a separate agreement, Carrier may submit freight bills electronically, provided, however, that each party is able to acknowledge the other's Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”) transmissions.

6.3 Freight Collect. If Swift designates that charges for services shall be paid by a person other than Swift, Swift shall have the right to require Carrier to collect all or any portion of such charges from that person and without recourse to Swift (“Collect Delivery”), if, in connection with such shipment, Swift does so pursuant to the provisions of Section 7 of the Uniform Bill of Lading or by giving written notice of such requirement to Carrier prior to or at the time of Carrier’s acceptance of such shipment.

6.4 Undercharge Claims. Carrier agrees to bill Swift for all of Carrier's transportation and related services in accordance with the applicable Dispatch Letter in a timely, accurate and complete fashion. Carrier acknowledges and agrees that in order for Swift to provide its Customer with the best, most efficient and economical transportation and related services, Carrier must bill Swift for all of Carrier's transportation and related services in a timely, accurate and complete fashion so as to prevent Swift's and its Customer's involvement in the burdensome investigation, calculation and processing of undercharge claims. Carrier therefore agrees not to file or prosecute any undercharge claim for additional transportation or related services billed inaccurately after a period of six (6) months following Customer’s receipt of the shipment, except that any claim for an undercharge resulting solely from mathematical errors may be corrected and recovered within one (1) year after Customer’s receipt of the applicable shipment. Carrier, on behalf of itself, its successors, assigns, representatives and agents, hereby waives, releases and agrees to indemnify and defend Swift and its Customer from and against any and all claims, causes of action, suits and expenses related to or arising out of any undercharge, improperly filed tariff or schedule or other related liability for Carrier's transportation and related services not included in Carrier's freight bill.

7. Cargo Loss, Damage or Destruction.

7.1 Carrier's Cargo Liability. Carrier assumes liability as a common carrier for all loss, damage to or destruction of any and all of Customer’s cargo, goods or property while under Carrier’s care, custody or control. Upon delivery to Customer of each shipment, Carrier shall obtain a signature from such Customer showing the kind

6 Carrier Initials ___ / Swift Initials___

Page 12: Freight Hauling Logistics announces new President – Special

and quantity of cargo delivered, and any damages, overages or shortages thereof. Carrier shall notify Swift of any such damages, overages or shortages via phone immediately upon delivery, and confirm in writing to Swift via facsimile within twenty four (24) hours of delivery. Carrier shall, at Swift’s option and direction, and upon demand, either pay Swift or Customer directly, without abatement, deduction, set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, the amount of Customer’s full loss. Cargo which has been tendered to Carrier intact and released by Carrier in a damaged condition, visible or concealed, or lost or destroyed subsequent to such tender to Carrier, shall be conclusively presumed to have been lost, damaged or destroyed by Carrier unless Carrier can establish otherwise by clear and convincing evidence. Carrier shall not be liable to Swift for cargo claims to the extent damages for such cargo claims are incidental, consequential, special, or punitive. All claims shall be paid by Carrier within ninety (90) days of the receipt of a documented claim. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, under no circumstances shall any freight claim liability be subject to deductibles, released rates, surcharges or similar devices designed to reduce or limit Carrier’s liability.

7.2 Salvage Claims. Carrier shall waive any and all right of salvage or resale of any of Customer's damaged goods and shall, at Swift's reasonable request and direction, promptly return or dispose, at Carrier's cost, any and all of Customer's damaged and overage goods shipped by Carrier. Carrier shall not under any circumstance, without Swift's prior written consent, allow Customer's goods to be sold or made available for sale or otherwise disposed of in any salvage markets, employee stores, or any other secondary outlets. In the event that damaged goods are returned to Customer and salvaged by Customer, Carrier shall receive a credit for the actual salvage value of such goods.

8. Indemnification. Carrier agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Swift (including its officers, directors, employees, subcontractors and agents) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, costs, claims, demands and expenses (including costs of defense, settlement, and reasonable attorneys' fees) of whatever type or nature, including damage or destruction of any property, or injury (including death) to any person, arising out of or related to, directly or indirectly: (i) any act or omission by Carrier, its agents, employees or subcontractors, (ii) any claims or actions by Carrier's agents, employees or subcontractors, (iii) the failure of Carrier, its agents, employees or subcontractors to comply with this Agreement, the Dispatch Letters, or any applicable United States or Canadian federal, provincial, state or local law, statute, regulation, rule, ordinance, or government directive which may directly or indirectly regulate or affect the obligations of Carrier under this Agreement or the Dispatch Letters, or (iv) Carrier's, or Carrier's agents, employees or subcontractors, performance of this Agreement or any Dispatch Letter.

9. Miscellaneous.

9.1 Confidentiality. Swift and Carrier shall limit disclosure of information concerning this Agreement, including the Dispatch Letters, and performance thereof, including Carrier's rates and charges, to only those Swift and Carrier agents, employees and subcontractors directly involved in its execution and performance, and to such other parties internally who have a specific need to know of this Agreement and the Dispatch Letters. Throughout the term of this Agreement and for three (3) years thereafter, Carrier specifically agrees to keep confidential all of Swift's and its Customer's technical and business information which Carrier has received or may receive as a result of this Agreement, and the Dispatch Letters, and the performance thereof, and not to reveal or to divulge such information to third parties or to use or publish such information in any manner whatsoever, without obtaining Swift's prior written consent; provided, however, that Carrier shall not be bound to keep confidential any such information (i) which was known to Carrier prior to the date of the applicable Dispatch Letters from sources other than Swift or its Customers (ii) which is, or becomes, available to the public without fault on Carrier's part, or (iii) which is disclosed to Carrier by a party not related, directly or indirectly, to Swift or its Customers, and such party has a rightful claim to such information. Carrier shall only use Swift's and its Customer's technical and business information to provide the transportation and related services required under this Agreement and the Dispatch Letters.

9.2 Successors-and Assigns. This Agreement and each Dispatch Letter shall be binding upon Carrier and Carrier's successors and assigns. Carrier shall not assign this Agreement or any Dispatch Letters without the prior written consent of Swift. Any assignment of this Agreement or any Dispatch Letters, in whole or in part, by Carrier without the prior written consent of Swift shall be void and of no effect.

9.3 Modification. No waiver, alteration or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement, or any of the Appendices or Attachments referred to herein, or any Dispatch Letters, shall be binding upon either party, unless in writing signed by the duly authorized representative of the party against whom such modification is sought to be enforced. Any printed terms on the reverse side (or otherwise) of Carrier's forms, manifests or other documents shall be deemed deleted and any such documents shall be subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable Dispatch Letters.

9.4 Waiver. No provision of this Agreement or any Dispatch Letter shall be waived by any party hereto, unless such waiver is written and signed by the authorized representative of the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. Waiver by either party of any breach or failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Dispatch Letter by the other party shall not be construed as, or constitute, a continuing waiver of such provision, or a waiver of any other breach of or failure to comply with any other provisions of this Agreement or any Dispatch Letter.

shall remain in full force and effect with the offensive term or condition being stricken to the extent necessary to comply with any conflicting law.

9.6 Applicable Law. The Parties desire that the provisions of this Agreement and all Dispatch letters will have precedence over any federal or state provisions governing or dealing with the specific provisions of this Agreement. The Parties agree that pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 14101(b)(1) they expressly waive any and all rights and remedies under the Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act and Interstate Commerce Act as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder, including Part B of Subtitle IV Interstate Transportation, 49 U.S.C. § 13101, et seq, (the “Acts”) that are inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. No Party shall challenge any provision of this Agreement on the ground that any such provision or provisions violates the waived rights and remedies under the Acts.

Any suit or action enforcing the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Dispatch Letters shall be adjudicated exclusively in the court of general jurisdiction for Maricopa County, Arizona.

9.7 Mutual Cooperation and Resolution of Disputes. Both parties understand and agree that they must cooperate in order to ensure the best, most efficient, and economical transportation and related services. If any dispute arises in connection with this Agreement or any Dispatch Letter, the dispute shall, after the representatives of Swift and Carrier primarily responsible for the negotiation and performance of the applicable Dispatch Letter are unable, after reasonably diligent effort, to resolve the dispute, be referred to an Executive of Swift and of Carrier to resolve the dispute in question. If the Executive Panel is unable to resolve any dispute after reasonably diligent effort, the matter may, by mutual agreement, be referred to binding arbitration, or either party may resort to litigation. In the event the matter is referred to arbitration or litigated, the non-prevailing party shall bear all related costs, including, the prevailing party's reasonable attorneys fees.

9.8 Force Majeure. This Agreement and the affected Dispatch Letter shall be temporarily suspended during any period(s) where Carrier or Swift is unable to carry out its obligations under this Agreement and the affected Dispatch Letter by reason of an Act of God, fire, flood, natural catastrophes, civil commotion, or any similar event or occurrence beyond the reasonable control of the affected party, and neither party shall have any liability to the other party for delay in performance or failure to perform while this Agreement and the affected Dispatch Letter is temporarily suspended. Should Carrier invoke this clause, Swift shall have the right to use other means to fulfill Swift's transportation requirements.
