STREAMLINE Announcement of Constrained Markets in California for Mutual Commitment Program Customers Dear Streamline Customer, Streamline is experiencing a significant increase in demand for domestic container capacity in both Northern and Southern California. It is anticipated that demand will increase further in the next two weeks. Action is being taken to reposition additional containers and increase train capacity to meet the needs of committed shippers. Therefore, in accordance with terms of the Mutual Commitment Program (MCP), UP is declaring the Northern California and Southern California markets as constrained. Beginning the week of Sunday, September 23 Within the next day or two customers will receive an updated report showing the weekly Base Load Volume for each MCP Agreement in the Northern and Southern California markets. The Base Load Volume calculation will be based on the terms of each MCP Agreement, with the final week ending Saturday September 15, 2012. Streamline will be reducing Volume Surcharges by $100 from previously-communicated levels for the duration of peak season. Specific Volume Surcharge amounts will be communicated to customers individually beginning tomorrow. Customers are reminded to provide current weekly volume forecasts for shippers that are expecting volumes surges in the upcoming weeks. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact your Streamline Sales Representative. We thank you for your business and look forward to a successful peak shipping season. Sincerely, Streamline
