The terms of the shipping contracts are as follows:

See Boat

o The contract term is for the voyage to transport Logical Logistics's cargo from Los Angeles to Shanghai. Logical Logistics does not have discretion to change the departure or arrival ports without a renegotiation of the contract fees.

o SB0829, a commercial shipping vessel in See Boat's fleet, is dedicated to delivering Logical Logistics's cargo for the term of the contract. See Boat cannot substitute SB0829 with another vessel in its fleet.

o The contract identifies the shipping containers and acceptable cargo (e.g., semiconductors) to be transported on the ship as well as the transportation route. Logical Logistics does not have discretion to change the identified cargo without renegotiating the contract fees.

o See Boat is responsible for the safe passage of the cargo, as well as operation and maintenance of SB0829. The crew determines the ship's route, speeds, and date of departure from Los Angeles. In addition, Logical Logistics cannot, under any circumstances, replace See Boat's crew.

Fly-By-Air

o The contract term is five years.

o FBA1231, a commercial aircraft in Fly-By-Air's fleet, is dedicated to delivering Logical Logistics's shipping pallets during the term of the contract.

o Logical Logistics determines (1) the airports from and to which goods are shipped and received and (2) the order in which deliveries are made to the airports. Fly-By-Air provides the aircraft's pilot and crew, and Logical Logistics instructs Fly-By-Air accordingly.

o While Logical Logistics determines what cargo will be transported throughout the term of the contract, certain restrictions prevent the Company from shipping flammable materials.

o Logical Logistics has the right to send the aircraft regardless of whether its cargo levels meet the full storage capacity of the aircraft. If FBA1231 is below capacity, Fly-By-Air cannot use the excess storage space to ship products of its other customers.
