4. Quality Assessment Intake Reports

An inspection report shall be submitted in writing by IMEXAGRO INC within 48 hours of discharge
ok a container.
Downloaded data from the 2 temperature recorders in each container is to be sent with each intake
report.

In the event of visible problems, photographs adequately demonstrating the nature of the problem
should also be sent with the intake report. The photos and report should be cross referenced with
the CPF pallet number and carton trace code.

The above information should be sent simultaneously to: CPF-QCEU@cpf.com.pe

5. Temperature Recorders

CPF may use the following types of temperature recorders:

Temptale 4 “single use” & Temptale 4 H “single use”

IMEXAGRO INC. shall have the necessary software required to download the data from these
instruments

There will be two temperature recorders in each container located in cartons in pallets N° 1 (at the
top of the pallet) and N° 20 (or N° 21, depending on whether we load 20 or 21 pallets per container
at the middle part of the container) as the following diagram shows.

The cartons containing the recorders will have a ‘Thermograph’ sticker on the visible sides of the
carton. The pallet will also be ringed with a ‘hazard’ tape.

IMEXAGRO INC. shall recover both temperature records from each container and the data shall be
downloaded and submitted to CPF with the intake report.

The recorded carriage temperature and arrival core temperatures should always be compared with
the requested carriage temperatures as stated on the Bill of Lading. These will be as follows:

6. Transit Related Problems on Arrival & Insurance

In the event of a distressed arrival where it is possible that any damage or deterioration might be
the result of carriage or temperature abuse then IMEXAGRO INC. shall:
1) CPF-QCEU@cpf.com.pe is notified within 24 hours after opening the container.
2) Effort is made to alert your regular CPF contact to any problem
3) Insurance instructions are followed (copy attached)

7. Time at Port

Containers should be removed from the port of arrival and delivered to their final delivery
destination at the earliest opportunity.

If, after arrival, any container is held at the port then it is the responsibility of the importer to ensure
that it is plugged in and correctly maintained.

3
Under the terms of CPF’s insurance, a container may be held at the port of arrival for a maximum of
5 days from the time of discharge from the vessel. Any longer and the entire responsibility for the
container and its cargo lies with the importer.

However, risks shall shift from CPF to IMEXAGRO INC. according to Incoterm used

8. Non transit related arrival problems

Any non transit related problem in relation to product quality or condition, non-compliance with
specification or packaging which is evident on arrival must be reported within 48 hours of
discharge/opening of the container. Full information should be included on the intake report as
detailed above.

9. Claims

Note that no claim or adjustment to the agreed price will be accepted unless arrival intake and
reporting procedures are both followed precisely as detailed above both in respect of the required
information and also stated timescales.

CPF´s produce supplied pursuant to this agreement shall have the proper condition and quality to
remain ‘good to use’ and within agreed specification for a period of 10 days after discharge and/or
opening of the container provided the cargo is stored in correct conditions, after that period of time,
the importer assumes the entire risk.

10. Temperature Regimes

All products exported by CPF should be stored at the same carriage temperature as stated on the
Bill of Lading.

Failure to do so will void any claim against CPF for product deterioration.

[Packing: it is recommended by CPF that all ‘easy peel’ varieties are raised to a temperature of
+10c just prior to pre-packing. Trials have demonstrated that the fruit is more resilient to the rigors
of packing at this temperature. The product should be cooled back to the storage temperature
within 24 hours of packing.]

11. Force Majeure

The rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be suspended during any period that an
event of Force Majeure has occurred and is continuing. We shall consider an event of Force
Majeure, events such as, but not limited to, acts of God, fires, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis,
explosions, riots, wars, hurricane, sabotage terrorism, vandalism, accident, restraint of government,
governmental acts, injunctions, labor strikes, or other acts, events or occurrences not attributable to
Parties’ failure, that prevents any of the Parties to perform its obligations under this contract, despite
such Party's reasonable efforts to prevent, avoid, delay, or mitigate the effect of such acts, events
or occurrences.

12. Arbitration

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this agreement, or the breach,
termination or invalidity thereof, shall be submitted to and finally settled by arbitration administered
by the International Arbitration Chamber for Fruits and Vegetables (CAIFL) in accordance with its
published rules and procedures in effect at the time of its initiation, by one arbitrator appointed in
accordance with the said Rules of Arbitration and any such decision shall be executed pursuant to
the New York Convention 1958. No remedy of appeal shall be admitted against the arbitrator’s
award.
