(Addition to NMF 100, Item 360)

Section 1(f). When the payor of freight charges requests any of the following as a prerequisite to payment, a charge of $8.65 for each document or copy will apply.

1. The return of any part of bill of lading sets or copies thereof, other than the one shipper furnished copy. When as a prerequisite to payment, the shipper furnished copy of the bill of lading is to be returned, it must be clearly and prominently marked by the shipper with specific instructions directing its return with the freight bill.

2. Copies of freight bills or statements of transportation charges in excess of the number specified in Section 1 (e).

3. The preparation by ABF of any forms requiring itemization, listing or description of single or multiple freight bills, for submitting with freight bills or statements of charges will be subject to a charge of $0.73 per line of itemization, listing or description (or portion thereof) subject to a minimum charge of $8.65 per page, per copy.

4. Any form or copies of forms, other than those described in Section 1 (f) (1) or Section 1 (f) (2), to be submitted with freight bills or statements of charges.

5. Any information not shown on the shipping order at time of shipment be shown on freight bills or statements of charges.

When payor requests proof of delivery be furnished in any form, ABF does not obligate itself to perform such service, but agrees to make a diligent effort to perform the service at no additional charge for occasional requests with reasonable frequency.

The charges above will not apply to Bank Payment Plans when documentation is limited to deposit ticket(s) supplied by the bank or to Sight Draft Plans when documentation is limited to sight drafts which do not require ABF to provide information pertaining to the rating of the shipment(s) on the sight draft.

Also, charges will not apply for either plan when documentation is limited to supporting freight bill(s) and statement(s) of charges not in excess of the number set forth in Section 1 (e), or the return of a copy of the bill of lading furnished by shipper.

The provisions set forth in Section 1(e) and Section 1(f) will not apply to shipments moving on United States Government Bills of Lading.
