WAREHOUSING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Section 1 - DEFINITIONS Warehouseman, Depositor, Facility and Goods have the same meaning as defined in Warehouse Service Agreement. Section 2 - SHIPMENTS TO AND FROM WAREHOUSE 1. Depositor agrees that all Goods shipped to Warehouseman shall identify Depositor on the bill of lading or other contract of carriage as the named consignee, in care of Warehouseman, and shall not identify Warehouseman as the consignee. If, in violation of this, Goods are shipped to Warehouseman as named consignee on the bill of lading or other contract of carriage, Depositor agrees to immediately notify carrier in writing, with copy of such notice to Warehouseman, that Warehouseman named as consignee is the “in care of party” only and has no beneficial title or interest in the Goods. Depositor agrees that regardless of whether Warehouseman is incorrectly identified as named consignee, or Depositor fails to notify carrier of the incorrect identification on the bill of lading or other contract of carriage, under no circumstances shall Warehouseman be considered the consignee for purposes of identifying the “importer” under 21 U.S.C. § 384a. Furthermore, Warehouseman shall have the right to refuse such Goods and shall not be liable for any loss, mis-consignment, or damage of any nature to, or related to, such Goods. Whether Warehouseman accepts or refuses Goods shipped in violation of this Section 2, Depositor agrees to indemnify and hold Warehouseman, it’s owners, officers, employees and agents harmless from all claims for transportation, storage, handling and other charges relating to such Goods, including undercharges, rail demurrage, truck/intermodal detention, and any fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) and other charges of any nature whatsoever. 2. When Goods are ordered shipped out by Depositor on a freight collect basis and Warehouseman (or Warehouseman’s agent) provides carriage and delivery services on that shipment, Warehouseman shall have recourse on the Depositor to guarantee payment and reimburse Warehouseman for the freight charge on any invoice that becomes uncollectible plus an additional fee of $ 20.00 per shipment. Section 3 - TENDER OF GOODS 1. All Goods shall be delivered at the Facility properly marked and packaged for storage and handling. The Depositor shall furnish at or prior to such delivery, a manifest showing marks, brands, and/or sizes to be kept and accounted for separately, and the class of storage and other services desired. Warehouseman may, at its sole discretion, reject any shipment of Goods that it deems to be improperly marked, packaged or contains any hazardous material. Warehouseman is not a guarantor of the condition of Goods under any circumstances, including, but not limited to hidden, concealed, or latent defects in the Goods. Concealed shortages, damage, inherent vice or tampering will not be the responsibility of Warehouseman. Unless otherwise agreed by Warehouseman, Goods returned to Warehouseman shall be deemed to be Goods tendered for storage hereunder by Depositor. Warehouseman shall not be liable for any damaged goods received. Warehouseman will notify Depositor and completes appropriate OS&D documentation within 48 hours of Depositor’s request. Section 4 - STORAGE PERIOD AND CHARGES Unless otherwise agreed in writing, storage charges become applicable upon the date the Warehouseman accepts the goods. 1. The storage month begins on the date that Warehouseman accepts care, custody and control of the Goods, regardless of unloading date or date of issue of warehouse receipt. A full month’s storage charge will apply to all Goods in storage on the first day of the next and succeeding calendar months. For Goods that are ordered out of the Facility anytime during a month, a full month’s storage charge will apply. 2. All storage charges are due and payable on the first day of storage for the initial month and thereafter on the first day of the calendar month. 3. Storage rate may be adjusted by the Warehouseman through general rate increases or otherwise, without limitation, provided Warehouseman provides reasonable notice. 4. Warehouseman shall have no obligation to store or deliver any Goods except in the packaging in which such Goods were received by warehouseman unless otherwise agreed by Warehouseman. 5.

All rates are subject to review in order to validate assumptions made by both parties and rates may be updated according to the review results. Claims may not be deducted or otherwise offset from Warehouseman invoices. All charges are due and payable prior to final shipment of Goods. Invoices not paid in 7 days will be subject to a 2% monthly interest fee or maximum allowed by law, billed on the 8th day from issue. Section 5 - TRANSFER, TERMINATION OF STORAGE, REMOVAL OF GOODS 1. Instructions to transfer Goods on the books of the Warehouseman are not effective until delivered to and accepted by Warehouseman, and all charges up to the time transfer is made are chargeable to the Depositor.

When Goods in storage are transferred from one party to another through issuance of a new Warehouseman receipt, a new storage date is established on the date of transfer. 2. Warehouseman reserves the right to move, at its expense, 14 days after notice is sent to the Depositor by certified mail, overnight delivery or other regularly used communication methods between Warehouseman and Depositor, any Goods in storage from the Facility in which they may be stored to any other of Warehouseman’s Facilities. Warehouseman will store the Goods at, and may without notice move the Goods within and between, any one or more of the Warehouseman buildings which comprise the Facility identified in the Contract. 3. Warehouseman reserves the right to require advance payment of all past, present, and future charges prior to removal of the Goods from the Facility. 4. Warehouseman may, upon written notice of not less than 30 days to the Depositor and any other person known by the Warehouseman to claim an interest in the Goods, require the removal of any Goods. Such notice shall be given to the last known place of business of the person to be notified. If Goods are not removed before the end of the notice period, Warehouseman may sell them in accordance with applicable law. 5. If Warehouseman in good faith believes that the Goods are about to deteriorate or decline in value to less than the amount of Warehouseman’s lien before the end of the 30-day notice period referred to in Section 5(3), Warehouseman may specify in the notification any reasonable shorter time for removal of the Goods and if the Goods are not removed, Warehouseman may sell them at public sale held or private sale one week after a single advertisement or posting, or otherwise as provided by law. 6. If as a result of a quality or condition of the Goods of which the Warehouseman had no notice at the time of deposit, the Goods are a hazard to other property or to the Facility or to persons, Warehouseman may: i) sell the Goods at public or private sale without advertisement on reasonable notification to all persons known to claim an interest in the Goods, ii) return Goods freight collect, or iii) dispose of Goods. Pending such disposition, sale or return of the Goods, Warehouseman may remove the Goods from the Facility and shall incur no liability by reason of such removal.

Section 7 - DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS 1. No Goods shall be delivered or transferred except upon receipt by Warehouseman of Depositor’s complete written instructions. Written instructions shall include, but are not limited to, FAX, EDI, E-Mail or similar communication, provided Warehouseman has no liability when relying on the information contained in the communication as received.

Warehouseman shall not be liable for failure to carry out such instructions and Goods remaining in storage will continue to be subject to regular storage charges. 2. When a negotiable receipt has been issued, no goods covered by that receipt shall be delivered, or transferred on the books of warehouseman, unless the receipt, properly endorsed, is surrendered for cancellation, or for endorsement of partial delivery thereon.
