1 Open tops Tarpaulin: Repair estimates on tarpaulins should be in accordance with TIR standards. A) At off-hire, when a tarp is missing or is not installed or partially installed on the open top, depots should note this on the interchange and the estimate. Depots should also obtain confirming signature from the delivering carrier. In addition, weathering damage on the floor should be noted. Protect the floor by stacking another container on top. B) Following is the minimum specification for the replacement tarp: Weight: 18oz/500gms/sq.m Color: blue/bs445 Material: polyester, PVC coated Grommets: carbon steel, galvanized to 40 microns. (bras, zinc and hard plastic grommets are acceptable) Reinforcement at roof bow: none Reinforcement at side rails: none Markings: none Note: Florens depots must replace tarp according to Florens' specifications. Different tarp color is acceptable only if all other specifications are met and Florens' customer makes the replacement during lease. Example: Tarpaulin color that is different than Florens' blue (BS445). Action: Different color is acceptable only if all other specifications are met and the tarpaulin is replaced during lease. Florens depot must replace tarpaulin according to Florens' specifications. 1

2 Replacement cost allocation: When it is more economical to replace the tarpaulin than to repair, depots must replace tarpaulin. Florens does not advocate lease period or age as factors to allocate repair costs between damage and normal wear and tear. Allocation for tarpaulin replacement that has damage and normal wear and tear above the economic value of the repair must comply with the following steps. The cost should include labor + material. 1) Calculate total cost of repair (damage plus normal wear and tear. Include labor and material), for example, the total cost = $ ) Calculate the percentage of damage cost. For example, the damage cost = $900, or 900/1000 = 90% 3) Calculate the percentage of NWT cost. For example, the NWT cost = $100, or 100/1000 = 10% Apply each individual percentage to allocate the replacement cost of the tarpaulin. For the above example, to replace a 40' tarpaulin at $400, the lessee allocation should be $360, and NWT allocation should be $40. Tarpaulin replacement versus repair: When the repair cost of the tarpaulin is 90% of the replacement cost, the tarpaulin should be replaced and not repaired. The additional cost of replacement should be allocated as NWT to Florens' account. The additional cost should be noted as a separate line item on the estimate. 2

Pinholes: Pinholes that are less than 5 mm (.20 ) in diameter can be repaired by using one component polyurethane caulk (Sikaflex) or "donut" patches. Pinholes that are between 5 mm (.

3 Pinholes: Pinholes that are less than 5 mm (.20 ) in diameter can be repaired by using one component polyurethane caulk (Sikaflex) or "donut" patches. Pinholes that are between 5 mm (.20 ) and 10 mm (.40 ), must be repaired with a donut patch or a standard patch. In addition, no more than 4 pinhole repairs using caulking or "donut" within a 4"(10 CM) diameter is allowed, otherwise a standard patch must be applied. Cuts and holes greater than 10 mm (.40 ): Cuts and holes that are greater than 10 mm (.40 ) require a standard patch which should overlap by at least 15 mm (6 ) from all the edges of the damage being repaired. Patches greater than 100mm (4.0 ) X 100 mm (4.0 ): Patches greater than 100mm (4.0 ) X 100 mm (4.0 ) must have TIR tape applied to the perimeter of the patch. Existing intact patch without TIR tape is an acceptable repair during off-hire inspection - no rectification is required. Caulked Repair Example: Caulked tarpaulin repair. Note: Pinhole measuring less than 5 mm in diameter can be repaired using one component polyurethane caulk. Note: All repairs are permitted within an existing patch that is properly fitting to the original tarpaulin. However, Florens does not recommend repair methods that overlap over the seams of the pre-existing patch. 3

4 Caulked Repair Example: Proper pinhole caulk repair. Action:. Note: Tarpaulin surface must be cleaned with thinner before any repair is performed. Caulked Repair Example: Pinhole area measures less than 5mm. Action: This is an acceptable caulk repair. 4

More than 4 donuts within 100 mm diameter.

5 Larger area Caulked Repair is required Example: Large tear caulked over. Action: Unacceptable repair. Rectification is required. More than 4 donuts within 100 mm diameter. Repair is required Example: More than 4 pinhole repairs using caulk or "donuts" within 100 mm (4 ). Action: Repair is required. Note: No more than 4 donuts are allowed within 100 mm (4") diameter. 5

6 Donut repair required for pinholes between 5 mm and 10 mm. No Repair is required Example: Pinhole measuring between 5mm and 10mm must be repaired with a "donut" patch or a standard patch. Patches greater than 100mm X100mm must have TIR tape (see note below) Example: Patches greater than 100mmX100mm (3.9 X3.9 ) must have TIR tape applied to the perimeter of the patch as shown in the illustration. Note: If the TIR tape is missing, but the patch is intact (completely adhering) at off-hire inspection, no rectification is required. 6

Patches greater than 100mm X100mm must have TIR tape (see note below) Example: Patches greater than 100mmX100mm (3.9 X3.

7 Donut repair required for pinholes between 5 mm and 10 mm. No Repair is required Example: Pinhole measuring between 5mm and 10mm must be repaired with a "donut" patch or a standard patch. Patches greater than 100mm X100mm must have TIR tape (see note below) Example: Patches greater than 100mmX100mm (3.9 X3.9 ) must have TIR tape applied to the perimeter of the patch as shown in the illustration. Note: If the TIR tape is missing, but the patch is intact (completely adhering) at off-hire inspection, no rectification is required. 7
