Argos Group, Inc., a non-vessel-operating common carrier (NVOCC) may
tender cargo to other NVOCCs for co-loading at its option, risk and
expense, subject to the provisions named below.  For the purposes of this
Rule, "Co-Loading" is the combining of cargo, in the import or export
foreign commerce of the United States, by 2 (two) or more NVOCCs for
tendering to an Ocean Common Carrier (VOCC) under the name of 1 (one) or
more NVOCCs (46 CFR 514.2)
    
1. Under joint carrier-to-carrier co-loading agreements with other
   NVOCCs, Carrier may, at its option, tender all, or any portion, of a
   Shipper's cargo to such other NVOCC to provide all, or any portion, of
   the thru transportation to destination.  Additionally Carrier reserves
   the right to tender cargo to other NVOCCs under a Shipper-to-Carrier
   relationship to accomplish all, or any portion, of the thru
   transportation.
    
2. It is understood that the tendering of cargo to, and when applicable
   the acceptance of a B/L issued by, another NVOCC for co-loading shall
   NOT increase, reduce, alter or otherwise remove Carrier's liability to
   the Shipper for the cargo as stated in Carrier's B/L issued at the time
   of shipment (See Rule 8), or as provided in Rule 12 (Ad Valorem Rates).
    
3. When Carrier tenders cargo to another NVOCC for co-loading, whether
   under a Carrier-to-Carrier agreement, or as a Shipper, the Carrier will
   place a notation reading substantially as specified below on the face
   of the B/L covering such co-loaded cargo.
    
    "Argos Group, Inc. has tendered the cargo moving under this Bill of
     Lading to (Name of receiving NVOCC) for co-loading service."
    
4. The exercising of its option to utilize co-loading service does NOT
   alter or relieve Carrier of any responsibility for the payment of all
   underlying Carrier or receiveing NVOCC rates and charges assessed for
   the transportation and handling of the cargo from origin to
   destination.
