NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YRC Worldwide Inc. and Subsidiaries

(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business

YRC Worldwide Inc. (also referred to as “YRC Worldwide”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), one of the largest transportation service providers in the world, is a holding company that through wholly owned operating subsidiaries and its interests in certain joint ventures offers its customers a wide range of transportation services. YRC Worldwide has one of the largest, most comprehensive less-than-truckload (LTL) networks in North America with local, regional, national and international capabilities. Through its team of experienced service professionals, YRC Worldwide offers industry-leading expertise in heavyweight shipments and flexible supply chain solutions, ensuring customers can ship industrial, commercial and retail goods with confidence. Our operating segments include the following:

•

YRC Freight is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in national, regional and international services. YRC Freight provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through centralized management and customer facing organizations. This unit includes our LTL subsidiary YRC Inc. (“YRC Freight”) and Reimer Express (“YRC Reimer”), a subsidiary located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. In addition to the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada, YRC Freight also serves parts of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam.

•

Regional Transportation is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. Regional Transportation is comprised of USF Holland Inc. (“Holland”), New Penn Motor Express (“New Penn”) and USF Reddaway Inc. (“Reddaway”). These companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the United States; Canada; Mexico and Puerto Rico.

At March 31, 2012, approximately 80% of our labor force is subject to collective bargaining agreements, which predominantly expire in March 2015.

2. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of YRC Worldwide and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in non-majority owned affiliates or those in which we do not have control where the entity is either not a variable interest entity or YRC Worldwide is not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for on the equity method.

Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have prepared the consolidated financial statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In management’s opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these financial statements herein have been made. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The board of directors approved a reverse stock split effective December 1, 2011 at a ratio of 1:300. The reverse stock split was effective on NASDAQ on December 2, 2011. All share numbers and per share amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.

Assets Held for Sale

When we plan to dispose of property or equipment by sale, the asset is carried in the financial statements at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value, less cost to sell, and is reclassified to assets held for sale. Additionally, after such reclassification, there is no further depreciation taken on the asset. For an asset to be classified as held for sale, management must approve and commit to a formal plan, the sale should be anticipated during the ensuing year and the asset must be actively marketed, be available for immediate sale, and meet certain other specified criteria. We use level 2 and level 3 inputs to determine the fair value of each property that is considered as held for sale.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the net book value of assets held for sale was approximately $30.5 million and $39.1 million, respectively. This amount is included in “Property and Equipment” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We recorded charges of $10.5 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, to reduce properties held for sale to estimated fair value, less cost to sell. These charges are included in “(Gains) losses on property disposals, net” in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations. Of the $10.5 million of charges recorded in the first quarter of 2012, $4.5 million relates to certain held for sale surplus properties that we placed into a real estate auction.

Property and Equipment

During the fourth quarter of 2011 we changed our accounting for tires in our YRC Freight segment. Prior to the change, the cost of original and replacement tires mounted on new and existing equipment was capitalized as a revenue equipment asset and amortized to operating expense based on estimated mileage-based usage. Under the new policy, the cost of replacement tires are expensed at the time those tires are placed into service, as is the case with other repairs and maintenance costs. The cost of tires on newly acquired revenue equipment is capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related equipment. We believe that this new policy is preferable under the circumstances because it provides a more precise and less subjective method for recognizing expense related to tires that is consistent with industry practice.

Under ASC Topic 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” we are required to report a change in accounting policy by retrospectively applying the new policy to all prior periods presented, unless it is impractical to determine the prior-period effect. Accordingly, we have adjusted our previously reported financial information for all periods presented. The effect of this accounting policy change increased net loss by $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The accounting policy change also affected our consolidated balance sheets in the periods presented by increasing amounts previously reported for revenue equipment and increasing the amount of accumulated deficit.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2012:


			Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2012
	Total Carrying Value at March 31, 2012		Quoted prices in active market (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Restricted amounts held in escrow-current	$	47.5	$	47.5	$	—	$	—
Restricted amounts held in escrow-long term		98.3		98.3		—		—

Total assets at fair value	$	145.8	$	145.8	$	—	$	—

Restricted amounts held in escrow are invested in money market accounts and are recorded at fair value on quoted market prices. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

3. Investment

Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co., Ltd.

On August 19, 2008, we completed the purchase of a 65% equity interest in Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co., Ltd. (“Jiayu”), a Shanghai, China ground transportation company with a purchase price of $59.4 million. Through March 31, 2010, we accounted for our 65% ownership interest in Jiayu as an equity method investment as the rights of the minority shareholder were considered extensive and allowed for his ability to veto many business decisions. These rights were primarily provided as a part of the General Manager role held by the minority shareholder. Effective April, 1, 2010, the minority shareholder no longer had a role in the management operations of the business which changed the conclusions from an accounting perspective regarding the relationship of this joint venture and required that we consolidate Jiayu in our financial statements effective April 1, 2010. The results of operations for Jiayu were included in our ‘Corporate and other’ segment from April 1, 2010 to February 29, 2012. In an effort to focus on our core operations, we entered into an agreement in March 2012 to sell our 65% equity interest in Jiayu to the minority shareholder. The completion of the transaction is subject to Chinese regulatory approval and expected to close in the second quarter of 2012. At the time the agreement was entered into, management control was passed to the minority shareholder and, as a result, we deconsolidated our interest in Jiayu during March of 2012 and returned to accounting for our ownership interest as an equity method investment. Based on the March 2012 agreement, we recorded our equity method investment at its estimated fair value of $0. The agreement also provided for the write down of a $12 million note receivable from Jiayu; after consideration of the non-controlling interest and other factors we recognized a loss of $4.2 million upon the deconsolidation of our investment. Additionally, the noncontrolling interest was allocated a $4.2 million gain on this transaction.

4. Liquidity

Credit Facility Amendments

On April 27, 2012, YRC Worldwide entered into an amendment to its amended and restated credit agreement, which reset the covenants regarding minimum Consolidated EBITDA, maximum Total Leverage Ratio and minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as such terms are defined in the amended and restated credit agreement) for each of the remaining test periods as follows:


Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Minimum Consolidated EBITDA	Maximum Total Leverage Ratio	Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio
March 31, 2012	$160,000,000	9.0 to 1.00	1.00 to 1.00
June 30, 2012	$145,000,000	10.0 to 1.00	1.00 to 1.00
September 30, 2012	$155,000,000	9.6 to 1.00	0.95 to 1.00
December 31, 2012	$170,000,000	8.6 to 1.00	1.05 to 1.00
March 31, 2013	$200,000,000	7.4 to 1.00	1.20 to 1.00
June 30, 2013	$235,000,000	6.5 to 1.00	1.45 to 1.00
September 30, 2013	$260,000,000	6.0 to 1.00	1.60 to 1.00
December 31, 2013	$275,000,000	5.7 to 1.00	1.65 to 1.00
March 31, 2014	$300,000,000	5.1 to 1.00	1.80 to 1.00
June 30, 2014	$325,000,000	4.8 to 1.00	1.90 to 1.00
September 30, 2014	$355,000,000	4.6 to 1.00	2.10 to 1.00
December 31, 2014	$365,000,000	4.4 to 1.00	2.15 to 1.00

The amendment also, among other things, (i) permits the sale of certain specified parcels of real estate without counting such asset sales against the annual $25.0 million limit on asset sales and permits the Company to retain the net cash proceeds from such asset sales for the payment or settlement of workers’ compensation and bodily injury and property damage claims and (ii) allows the Company to addback to Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of the applicable financial covenants the fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the amendment, the ABL facility amendment (as described below) and the Company’s contribution deferral agreement.

On April 27, 2012, YRCW Receivables LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an amendment to the ABL facility, which reset the Company’s minimum Consolidated EBITDA (as such term is defined in the ABL facility) for each of the remaining test periods in a manner identical to the proposed amendment of minimum Consolidated EBITDA in the amended and restated credit agreement (including the addback for the fees, costs and expenses described above).

Risk and Uncertainties regarding Future Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and available borrowings under our $400 million ABL facility and any prospective net operating cash flows resulting from improvements in operations. In addition, we have generated liquidity through the sale and leaseback of assets and the disposal of property, assets and lines of business. As previously discussed, we can retain 100% of the proceeds from the sale of certain real estate for the payment or settlement of workers’ compensation and bodily injury and property damage claims. As of March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents and availability under the ABL facility of approximately $240.7 million and the borrowing base under our ABL facility was approximately $343.3 million.

Our principal uses of cash are to fund our operations, including making contributions to our single employer pension plans and the multiemployer pension funds and to meet our other cash obligations, including paying cash interest and principal for our funded debt, letter of credit fees under our credit facilities and funding capital expenditures. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, our cash flow from operating activities used net cash of $17.1 million, and we reported net losses of $85.5 million. In the first quarter of 2012, our operating revenues increased by $71.4 million as compared to the same period in 2011 and our operating loss decreased to $48.8 million in the first quarter of 2012 from $68.4 million in the same period in 2011.

Following completion of the July 2011 restructuring, we continue to have a considerable amount of indebtedness, a substantial portion of which will mature in late 2014 or early 2015, and considerable future funding obligations for our single employer pension plans and the multiemployer pension funds. As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $1.4 billion in aggregate principal amount of outstanding indebtedness, which amount will increase over time as we continue to accrue paid-in-kind interest on a portion of such indebtedness. Our level of indebtedness increases the risk that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to service such indebtedness or pay principal when due in respect of such indebtedness. We expect our funding obligations for the period April 2012 to December 2012 for our single employer pension plans and multi-employer pension funds will be approximately $56 million and $57 million, respectively. In addition, we also have, and will continue to have, substantial operating lease obligations. As of March 31, 2012, our minimum rental expense under operating leases for the remainder of 2012 was $40.8 million. As of March 31, 2012, our operating lease obligations through 2025 totaled $172.4 million.

Our capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $15.1 million and $10.1 million, respectively. These amounts were principally used to fund replacement engines and trailer refurbishments for our revenue fleet, capitalized maintenance costs for our network facilities and technology infrastructure. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2012, we entered into new operating lease commitments for revenue equipment of approximately $49.1 million, with such payment to be made over the average lease term of 3 years. In light of our recent operating results and liquidity needs, we have deferred the majority of capital expenditures and expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future, including the remainder of 2012. As a result, the average age of our fleet has increased and we will need to update our fleet periodically.

The credit facilities require us to comply with certain financial covenants, including maintenance of a maximum total leverage ratio, minimum interest coverage ratio, minimum adjusted EBITDA and maximum capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in our credit facilities, is a measure that reflects the Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and further adjusted for letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees and results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations. We were in compliance with each of these covenants as of and for the four quarters ended March 31, 2012. As previously discussed, the financial covenants under the credit facilities were amended in April 2012 to modify these financial covenants for the remaining term of the credit facilities.

We expect that our cash and cash equivalents, improvements in operating results, retention of cash proceeds from asset sales and availability under our credit facilities will be sufficient to allow us to comply with the amended financial covenants in our credit facilities, fund our operations, increase working capital as necessary to support our planned revenue growth and fund planned capital expenditures for the foreseeable future, including the next twelve months. Our ability to satisfy our liquidity needs over the next twelve months is dependent on a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. These factors include:

•

our operating results, pricing and shipping volumes must continue to improve at a rate significantly better than what we have achieved in our recent financial results;

•

we must continue to comply with covenants and other terms of our credit facilities so as to have access to the borrowings available to us under such credit facilities;

•

our anticipated cost savings under our labor agreements, including wage reductions and savings due to work rule changes, must continue;

•

we must complete real estate sale transactions as anticipated;

•

we must continue to defer purchases of replacement revenue equipment or secure suitable operating leases for such replacement revenue equipment;

•

we must continue to implement and realize substantial cost savings measures to match our costs with business levels and to continue to become more efficient;

•

we must continue to carefully manage receipts and disbursements, including amounts and timing, focusing on reducing days sales outstanding for trade receivables and managing days outstanding for trade payables; and

•

we must be able to generate operating cash flows that are sufficient to provide for additional cash requirements for pension contributions to single-employer pension plans and multiemployer pension funds, cash interest on debt and for capital expenditures or additional lease payments for new revenue equipment.

There can be no assurance that management will be successful or that such plans will be achieved. We expect to continue to monitor our liquidity, work to alleviate these uncertainties and address our cash needs through a combination of one or more of the following actions:

•

we will continue to aggressively seek additional and return business from customers;

•

we will continue to attempt to reduce our escrow deposits and letter of credit collateral requirements related to our self-insurance programs;

•

if appropriate, we may sell additional equity or pursue other capital market transactions; and

•

we may consider selling additional assets or business lines, which would require lenders’ consent in most cases.

The Company has experienced recurring net losses from continuing operations and operating cash flow deficits. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors, including among others, improvements in our operating results necessary to comply with the modified covenants. These conditions raise significant uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the foregoing uncertainties.

Fair Value Measurement

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our long-term debt, including current maturities and other financial instruments, are summarized as follows:


	March 31, 2012				December 31, 2011
(in millions)	Carrying amount		Fair Value		Carrying amount		Fair Value
Restructured term loan	$	392.5	$	213.2	$	402.0	$	216.5
ABL facility		310.5		325.8		264.4		268.8
Series A Notes and Series B Notes		180.6		154.6		172.2		168.7
Lease financing obligations		314.8		314.8		315.2		315.2
Other		197.5		132.0		200.9		139.9

Total debt	$	1,395.9	$	1,140.4	$	1,354.7	$	1,109.1

The fair values of the restructured term loan, ABL facility, Series A and Series B Notes, the 6% convertible senior notes (included in “Other” above) and pension contribution deferral obligations (included in “Other” above) were estimated based on observable prices (level two inputs for fair value measurements). The carrying amount of the lease financing obligations approximates fair value.

6. Employee Benefits

Components of Net Periodic Pension Costs

The following table sets forth the components of our company-sponsored pension costs for the three months ended March 31:


	Pension Costs
(in millions)	2012			2011
Service cost	$	1.0		$	0.9
Interest cost		14.8			15.2
Expected return on plan assets		(11.6	)		(10.7	)
Amortization of net loss		2.9			2.4

Total periodic pension cost	$	7.1		$	7.8

We expect to contribute $76.6 million to our company-sponsored pension plans in 2012 of which we have contributed $20.8 million through April 30, 2012.

7. Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was 3.7% and 4.2%, respectively. Significant items impacting the 2012 rate include a net state tax provision, certain permanent items and an increase in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2012. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we determine it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, substantially all of our net deferred tax assets are subject to a valuation allowance.

Uncertain Tax Positions

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, in anticipation of the pending disposition of our interest in Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co., Ltd, we added approximately $2 million to our reserve for uncertain tax positions relative to potential foreign taxes resulting from particular intercompany transactions among multiple foreign subsidiaries.

8. Shareholders’ Deficit

The following reflects the activity in the shares of our common stock for the three months ended March 31:


(in thousands)	2012
Beginning balance		6,847
Issuance of equity awards, net		1
Issuance of equity upon conversion of Series B Notes		61

Ending balance		6,909

9. Loss Per Share

Given our net loss position for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, there are no dilutive securities for these periods.

Antidilutive options and share units were 781,149 and 37,309 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Antidilutive 6% convertible senior note conversion shares, including the make whole premium, were convertible into 17,616 common shares at March 31, 2012 and 2011. Antidilutive Series A convertible note conversion shares were 5,904,000 as of March 31, 2012 with no corresponding amount at March 31, 2011. Antidilutive Series B convertible note conversion shares, including the make whole premiums, were 7,199,000 as of March 31, 2012 with no corresponding amount at March 31, 2011.

10. Business Segments

We report financial and descriptive information about our reportable operating segments on a basis consistent with that used internally for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to segments. We evaluate performance primarily on operating income and return on committed capital.

We have the following reportable segments, which are strategic business units that offer complementary transportation services to their customers. YRC Freight includes carriers that provide comprehensive national, regional and international services. Regional Transportation is comprised of carriers that focus primarily on business opportunities in the next-day and regional delivery markets. Additionally, during 2011 we reported Truckload as a separate segment, which consisted entirely of Glen Moore, a former domestic truckload carrier. On December 15, 2011, we sold a majority of the assets of Glen Moore to a third party for $18.5 million and ceased the operations.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Accounting Policies note in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. We charge management fees and other corporate services to our segments based on the direct benefits received or as a percentage of revenue. Corporate and other operating losses represent residual operating expenses of the holding company, including compensation and benefits and professional services for all periods presented. Corporate identifiable assets primarily refer to cash, cash equivalents, investments in equity method affiliates and deferred debt issuance costs. Intersegment revenue primarily relates to transportation services between our segments.

The following table summarizes our operations by business segment:


(in millions)	YRC Freight			Regional Transportation			Truckload			Corporate/ Eliminations			Consolidated
As of March 31, 2012
Identifiable assets	$	1,458.2		$	850.7			n/a		$	172.6		$	2,481.5

11. Commitments, Contingencies, and Uncertainties

401(k) Class Action Suit

Four class action complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and former directors, alleging violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), based on similar allegations and causes of action. On November 17, 2009, Eva L. Hanna and Shelley F. Whitson, former participants in the Yellow Roadway Corporation Retirement Savings Plan, filed a class action complaint on behalf of certain persons participating in the plan (or plans that merged with the plan) from April 6, 2009 to the present; on December 7, 2009, Daniel J. Cambra, a participant in the Yellow Roadway Corporation Retirement Savings Plan, filed a class action complaint on behalf of certain persons participating in the plan (or plans that merged with the plan) from October 25, 2007 to the present; on January 15, 2010, Patrick M. Couch, a participant in one of the merged 401(k) plans, filed a class action complaint on behalf of certain persons participating in the plan (or plans that merged with the plan) from March 23, 2006 to the present; and on April 21, 2010, Tawana Franklin, a participant in the YRC Worldwide 401(k) Plan, filed a class action complaint on behalf of certain persons participating in the plan (or plans that merged with the plan) from October 25, 2007 to the present.

In general, the complaints alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties under ERISA by providing participants Company common stock as part of their matching contributions and by not removing the stock fund as an investment option in the plans in light of the Company’s financial condition. Although some Company matching contributions were made in Company common stock, participants were not permitted to invest their own contributions in the Company stock fund. The complaints alleged that the defendants failed to prudently and loyally manage the plans and assets of the plans; imprudently invested in

Company common stock; failed to monitor fiduciaries and provide them with accurate information; breached the duty to properly appoint, monitor, and inform the Benefits Administrative Committee; misrepresented and failed to disclose adverse financial information; breached the duty to avoid conflict of interest; and are subject to co-fiduciary liability. Each of the complaints sought, among other things, an order compelling defendants to make good to the plan all losses resulting from the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, attorneys’ fees, and other injunctive and equitable relief.

On March 3, 2010, the Court entered an order consolidating three of the four cases and, on April 1, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint. The consolidated complaint asserted the same claims as the previously-filed complaints but named as defendants certain former officers of the Company in addition to those current and former officers and former directors that had already been named. The fourth case (Franklin) was consolidated with the first three cases on May 12, 2010. On April 6, 2011, the court certified a class consisting of all 401(k) Plan participants or beneficiaries who held YRCW stock in their accounts between October 25, 2007 and the present.

On October 31, 2011, the parties entered into a settlement agreement with respect to 401(k) Plan participants and beneficiaries who held YRCW stock in their accounts between October 25, 2007 and June 8, 2011. On March 6, 2012, the Court approved the settlement, which is binding on all class members and provides a complete release of claims as to all of the named defendants. The named defendants and their immediate family members are excluded from the class and will not share in the settlement. The agreed to settlement amount of $6.5 million was paid entirely by our insurer.

ABF Lawsuit

On November 1, 2010, ABF Freight System, Inc. (“ABF”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas against several parties, including YRC Inc., New Penn Motor Express, Inc. and USF Holland Inc. (each a subsidiary of the Company) and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the local Teamster unions party to the National Master Freight Agreement (“NMFA”) alleging violation of the NMFA due to modifications to the NMFA that have provided relief to the Company’s subsidiaries that are party to the NMFA without providing the same relief to ABF. The complaint seeks to have the modifications to the NMFA declared null and void and seeks damages of $750 million from the named defendants. The Company believes the allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the claims.

On December 17, 2010, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas dismissed the complaint. ABF appealed the dismissal on January 18, 2011 to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit. On July 6, 2011, the Court of Appeals vacated the U.S. District Court’s dismissal of the litigation on jurisdictional grounds and remanded the case back to the U.S. District Court for further proceedings. ABF filed an amended complaint on October 12, 2011, which contains allegations consistent with the original complaint. The Company’s subsidiaries have filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, which is pending before the Court. The ultimate outcome of this case is not determinable. Therefore, we have not recorded any liability for this matter.

Securities Class Action Suit

On February 7, 2011, a putative class action was filed by Bryant Holdings LLC in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s securities between April 24, 2008 and November 2, 2009, inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking to pursue remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, the Company and certain of its current and former officers failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s true financial condition, business and prospects. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants’ statements were materially false and misleading because they misrepresented and overstated the financial condition of the Company and caused shares of the Company’s common stock to trade at artificially inflated levels throughout the Class Period. Bryant Holdings LLC seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of the Company’s securities during the Class Period. The Company believes the allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the claims.

On April 8, 2011, an individual (Stan Better) and a group of investors (including Bryant Holdings LLC) filed competing motions seeking to be named the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. The Court appointed them as co-lead plaintiffs in the lawsuit on August 22, 2011. Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on October 21, 2011, which contains allegations consistent with the original complaint. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, which is pending before the Court. The ultimate outcome of this case is not determinable. Therefore, we have not recorded any liability for this matter.

Other Legal Matters

We are involved in other litigation or proceedings that arise in ordinary business activities. We insure against these risks to the extent deemed prudent by our management, but no assurance can be given that the nature and amount of such insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending and future legal proceedings. Many of these insurance policies contain self-insured retentions in amounts we deem prudent. Based on our current assessment of information available as of the date of these financial statements, we believe that our financial statements include adequate provisions for estimated costs and losses that may be incurred with regard to the litigation and proceedings to which we are a party.

12. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

Guarantees of the 6% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2014

On February 23, 2010, and August 3, 2010, we issued $70 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6% convertible senior notes due 2014 (the “6% Notes”). In connection with the 6% Notes, the following 100% owned subsidiaries of YRC Worldwide have issued guarantees in favor of the holders of the notes: YRC Inc., YRC Enterprise Services, Inc., Roadway LLC, Roadway Next Day Corporation, YRC Regional Transportation, Inc., USF Holland Inc., USF Reddaway Inc., USF Glen Moore Inc. and YRC Logistics Services, Inc. Each of the guarantees is full and unconditional and joint and several, subject to customary release provisions. Effective December 31, 2011, USF Sales Corporation and IMUA Handling Corporation were released as guarantors in connection with their merger with and into YRC Regional Transportation, Inc.

The condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures of the subsidiary guarantors and issuer because management does not believe that such separate financial statements and related disclosures would be material to investors. There are currently no significant restrictions on the ability of YRC Worldwide or any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

The following represents condensed consolidating financial information as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, with respect to the financial position and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, for results of operations and cash flows of YRC Worldwide and its subsidiaries. The Parent column presents the financial information of YRC Worldwide, the primary obligor of the convertible senior notes. The Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all guarantor subsidiaries of the convertible senior notes. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all non-guarantor subsidiaries, including those subsidiaries that are governed by foreign laws and YRCW Receivables LLC, the special-purpose entity that is associated with our ABL facility.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of YRC Worldwide Inc. (also referred to as “YRC Worldwide”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”). MD&A includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each a “forward-looking statement”). Forward-looking statements include those preceded by, followed by or include the words “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” “forecast,” “propose,” “plan,” “designed,” “enable” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and are subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, uncertainties and contingencies, known and unknown, many of which are beyond our control. Our future financial condition and results could differ materially from those predicted in such forward-looking statements because of a number of factors, including (without limitation) our ability to generate sufficient cash flows and liquidity to fund operations and satisfy our obligations related to our substantial indebtedness and lease and pension funding requirements; our ability to finance the maintenance, acquisition and replacement of revenue equipment and finance other necessary capital expenditures; changes in equity and debt markets; general or regional economic activity, including (without limitation) customer demand in the retail and manufacturing sectors; the success of our management team in implementing its strategic plan and operational and productivity improvements, including (without limitation) our continued ability to meet high on-time and quality delivery performance standards, and the impact of those improvements on our future liquidity and profitability; inclement weather; price and availability of fuel; sudden changes in the cost of fuel or the index upon which we base our fuel surcharge and the effectiveness of our fuel surcharge program in protecting us against fuel price increases; competition and competitive pressure on service and pricing; expense volatility, including (without limitation) expense volatility due to changes in rail service or pricing for rail service; ; our ability to comply and the cost of compliance with federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations, including (without limitation) laws and regulations for the protection of employee safety and health and the environment; terrorist attack; labor relations, including (without limitation) the continued support of our union employees with respect to our strategic plan, the impact of work rules, work stoppages, strikes or other disruptions, our obligations to multi-employer health, welfare and pension plans, wage requirements and employee satisfaction; the impact of claims and litigation to which we are or may become exposed; and other risks and contingencies, including (without limitation) the risk factors that are included in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described under “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

Results of Operations

This section focuses on the highlights and significant items that impacted our operating results during the first quarter of 2012. We have presented a discussion regarding the operating results of each of our operating segments: YRC Freight and Regional Transportation. In 2011, we reported Truckload as a separate segment, which consisted of Glen Moore, a former domestic truckload carrier and represented 2% of our consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011. On December 15, 2011, we sold a majority of Glen Moore’s assets to a third party and concluded operations.

Consolidated Results

Our consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 include the results of each of the operating segments discussed below and corporate charges. A more detailed discussion of the operating results of our segments is presented below.

The table below provides summary consolidated financial information for the three months ended March 31:


(in millions)	2012			2011			Percent Change
Operating revenue	$	1,194.3		$	1,122.9			6.4	%
Operating loss		(48.8	)		(68.4	)		28.7	%
Nonoperating expenses, net		36.0			38.8			(7.2	%)
Net loss	$	(81.6	)	$	(102.7	)		20.5	%

Three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to three months ended March 31, 2011

Our consolidated operating revenue increased 6.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2012 versus the same period in 2011 due to both increases in volume over the comparable prior year quarter and increases in yield or pricing. Our volume increases are primarily attributed to a moderately improving economic environment. The improvement in yield is due to increased fuel surcharge revenue resulting from higher diesel fuel costs as well as a more disciplined industry pricing market.

Consolidated operating revenue includes fuel surcharge revenue. Fuel surcharges are common throughout our industry and represent an amount that we charge to customers that adjusts with changing fuel prices. We base our fuel surcharges on a published national index and adjust them weekly. Rapid material changes in the index or our cost of fuel can positively or negatively impact our revenue and operating income versus prior periods as there is a lag in our adjustment of base rates in response to changes in fuel surcharge. We believe that fuel surcharge is an accepted and important component of the overall pricing of our services to our customers. Without an industry accepted fuel surcharge program, our base pricing for our transportation services would require changes. We believe the distinction between base rates and fuel surcharge has blurred over time, and it is impractical to clearly separate all the different factors that influence the price that our customers are willing to pay. In general, under our present fuel surcharge program, we believe rising fuel costs are beneficial to us and falling fuel costs are detrimental to us in the short term.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2012 increased $51.8 million or 4.3% as compared to the same period in 2011 primarily related to a $23.0 million increase in salaries, wages and benefits and a $16.1 million increase in operating expenses and supplies, which are attributable primarily to increasing volumes and higher fuel prices. Our consolidated operating loss during the first quarter of 2012 includes an $8.4 million net loss from fair value adjustments for property and equipment held for sale and the sale of property and equipment compared to a $3.0 million net gain for the same period in 2011.

The increase in salaries, wages and benefits in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 is largely due to an increase in benefits compared to the prior year resulting from the resumption of multi-employer pension contribution expense in June 2011 as well as higher shipment related wages in the current year as we reacted to greater volumes. The increase in operating expenses and supplies is a result of higher fuel expenses of $12.1 million or 8.9%, vehicle maintenance of $4.7 million or 11.6%, and increases to legal reserves related to the estimated losses for prior years’ legal claims of $6.8 million. The increases were offset by lower facility maintenance of $3.7 million or 18.1% and professional service fees of $5.4 million or 20.5%.

Nonoperating expenses decreased $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The reduction consisted primarily of reduced interest expense of $2.4 million as a result of various changes resulting from the Company’s July 22, 2011 restructuring. The first three months of 2012 included $8.4 million less in deferred debt cost amortization compared to the same period in 2011 as the deferred debt costs related to our prior credit agreement were included in the carryover basis of the new restructured term loan and the Series A Notes and the deferred debt costs related to our prior ABS facility were removed as part of the restructuring. Also, the first quarter of 2012 included $2.6 million of net amortization of the Series A Notes and Series B Notes discounts and term loan premium. Offsetting these reductions was a $5.3 million increase in interest expense incurred related to the Company’s ABL facility during the first three months of 2012 compared to our prior ABS facility in the same period in 2011.

YRC Freight Results

YRC Freight represented approximately 66% and 65% of our consolidated revenue in the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The table below provides summary financial information for YRC Freight for the three months ended March 31:


(in millions)	2012			2011			Percent Change
Operating revenue	$	789.1		$	730.0			8.1	%
Operating loss		(56.1	)		(51.7	)		(8.5	%)
Operating ratio^(a)		107.1	%		107.1	%		—

(a)	Operating ratio is calculated as (i) 100 percent plus (ii) plus the result of dividing operating loss by operating revenue and expressed as a percentage.

Three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to three months ended March 31, 2011

YRC Freight reported operating revenue of $789.1 million in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $59.1 million or 8.1% compared to the first quarter of 2011. The two primary components of operating revenue are volume, comprised of the number of shipments and weight per shipment, and price or yield, usually evaluated on a per hundredweight basis. The increase in operating revenue was largely driven by a 3.5% increase in total picked-up tonnage per day and a 3.3% increase in revenue per hundredweight resulting mostly from higher fuel surcharge revenue, which was driven by higher diesel prices in 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 as well as a more disciplined industry pricing market. The increase in picked-up tonnage per day was primarily due to a 2.8% increase in total shipments per day and a 0.7% increase in weight per shipment. Our volume increases are primarily attributed to a moderately improving economic environment.

Operating loss for YRC Freight was $56.1 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to operating loss of $51.7 million in the comparable prior year period. Revenue in the first quarter of 2012 was higher by $59.1 million while total costs, excluding losses on property disposals and impairments, increased by $55.9 million. The cost increases consisted primarily of higher salaries, wages and employees’ benefits of $22.3 million or 5.1% and higher other operating expenses of $4.3 million or 5.9%, higher operating expenses and supplies of $31.3 million or 18.8% offset by lower purchased transportation costs of $2.0 million or 2.0%.

The increase in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits (including workers’ compensation expense) of $22.3 million during the first quarter of 2012 is primarily the result of an increase in benefits of $21.5 million compared to the prior year resulting from the resumption of multi-employer pension contribution expense in June 2011 and higher costs associated with the contractual health and welfare benefit increase effective August 2011. In addition, the increase is due to higher shipment related wages due to increased business volumes and contractual wage increases offset by lower salaries and workers’ compensation expense.

Operating expenses and supplies were higher due mostly to increases in fuel costs associated with higher diesel prices and greater volumes in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Operating expenses and supplies were also impacted by increases to legal reserves related to estimated losses for prior years’ legal claims offset by a decrease in bad debt expense of $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the comparable prior year period reflective of improvements in our revenue management processes and fewer bankruptcies in our customer base.

The decrease in purchased transportation during the first quarter of 2011 versus the comparable prior year period resulted primarily from lower volumes moved on the rail in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. Rail costs decreased 0.1% due to lower volume offset by higher fuel surcharges compared to the prior year period while other purchased transportation costs decreased 4.3%.

Other operating expenses were higher mostly due to a general liability claims expense increase of $1.6 million or 18.9% related to a more unfavorable development of claims in 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 and higher cargo claims expense of $2.7 million or 30.5% due to unfavorable development of claims and a higher rate for claims in the current year.

Losses on property disposals and impairments were $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Regional Transportation Results

Regional Transportation represented approximately 34% and 33% of our consolidated revenue in the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The table below provides summary financial information for Regional Transportation for the three months ended March 31:

Three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to three months ended March 31, 2011

Regional Transportation reported operating revenue of $402.0 million for the first quarter of 2012, representing an increase of $35.9 million, or 9.8% from the first quarter of 2011. Total weight per day was up 6.0%, representing a 4.3% increase in total shipments per day and a 1.6% higher total weight per shipment compared to 2011. Our volume increases are primarily attributed to a moderately improving economic environment.

Total revenue per hundredweight increased 4.5% in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the first quarter of 2011, due to higher fuel surcharge revenue associated with higher diesel fuel prices and a more disciplined industry pricing market.

Operating income for Regional Transportation was $11.4 million for the first quarter of 2012, an improvement of $12.6 million from the first quarter of 2011, consisting of a $35.9 million increase in revenue partially offset by increases in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits of $7.8 million or 3.5%, operating expenses and supplies of $9.7 million or 10.3%, and purchased transportation of $1.2 million or 6.8%.

Salaries, wages and employees’ benefits expense (including workers’ compensation expense) increased $7.8 million or 3.5% primarily the result of an increase in benefits compared to the prior year resulting from the resumption of multi-employer pension contribution expense in June 2011 and higher costs associated with the contractual health and welfare benefit increase effective August 2011. In addition, the increase is due to higher shipment related wages due to increased business volumes and contractual wage increases offset by lower salaries and workers’ compensation expense.

Operating expenses and supplies increased 10.3% reflecting a 12.9% increase in fuel costs (due to higher fuel prices and volumes) and a 7.2% increase in costs other than fuel. Costs were higher in the areas of equipment maintenance, travel, driver expenses, tolls and bad debt expense as a result of higher business volumes. Purchased transportation was 6.8% higher due mostly to greater business volumes and the impact of higher fuel prices.

There were no gains or losses on property disposals in the first quarter of 2012 compared to a gain of $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Certain Non-GAAP financial measures

Our adjusted EBITDA improved to $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from ($1.3) million for the same period in 2011. We have included the reconciliation of consolidated operating loss to consolidated adjusted EBITDA below and provided the adjusted EBITDA amounts by segment.

Adjusted operating income (loss) is a non-GAAP measure that reflects the Company’s operating income (loss) before letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals, and certain other items including restructuring professional fees and results of permitted dispositions. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that reflects the Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and further adjusted for letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees and results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations as defined in the Company’s credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) are used for internal management purposes as a financial measure that reflects the Company’s core operating performance. In addition, management uses adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with financial covenants in the

Company’s credit facilities. Free cash flow (deficit) and adjusted free cash flow (deficit) are non-GAAP measures that reflect the Company’s operating cash flow minus gross capital expenditures and operating cash flow minus gross capital expenditures, excluding the restructuring costs included in operating cash flow, respectively. However, these financial measures should not be construed as a better measurement than operating income, operating cash flow or earnings (loss) per share, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles.

Adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow (deficit) and adjusted free cash flow (deficit) have the following limitations:

•

Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to fund restructuring professional fees, letter of credit fees, service interest or principal payments on our outstanding debt;

•

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

•

Equity based compensation is an element of our long-term incentive compensation package, although adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA exclude either certain union employee equity-based compensation expense or all of it as an expense, respectively, when presenting our ongoing operating performance for a particular period;

•

Adjusted free cash flow (deficit) excludes the cash usage by the Company’s restructuring activities, debt issuance costs, equity issuance costs and principal payments on our outstanding debt and the resulting reduction in the Company’s liquidity position from those cash outflows; and

•

Other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow (deficit) and adjusted free cash flow (deficit) should not be considered a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow (deficit) and adjusted free cash flow (deficit) as a secondary measure.

Our consolidated adjusted operating ratio of 102.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 improved 1.9 percentage points compared to the same period in 2011.

Adjusted operating ratio is calculated as (i) 100 percent (ii) minus the result of dividing adjusted operating income by operating revenue or (iii) plus the result of dividing adjusted operating loss by operating revenue, and expressed as a percentage.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and available borrowings under our $400 million ABL facility and any prospective net operating cash flows resulting from improvements in operations. In addition, we have generated liquidity through the sale and leaseback of assets and the disposal of property, assets and lines of business. Pursuant to Amendment No. 2 to our amended and restated credit agreement, we can retain 100% of the proceeds from the sale of certain real estate for the payment or settlement of workers’ compensation and bodily injury and property damage claims. The sale of these properties is expected to generate cash proceeds of approximately $25 million during 2012. As of March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents and availability under the ABL facility of approximately $240.7 million and the borrowing base under our ABL facility was approximately $343.3 million.

Following completion of the July 2011 restructuring, we continue to have a considerable amount of indebtedness, a substantial portion of which will mature in late 2014 or early 2015, and considerable future funding obligations for our single employer pension plans and the multiemployer pension funds. As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $1.4 billion in aggregate principal amount of outstanding indebtedness, which amount will increase over time as we continue to accrue paid-in-kind interest on a portion of such indebtedness. We expect that our cash interest, cash principal payments and letter of credit fees for the remainder of 2012 will be approximately $136.1 million. Our level of indebtedness increases the risk that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to service such indebtedness or pay principal when due in respect of such indebtedness. We expect our funding obligations for the period April 2012 to December 2012 for our single employer pension plans and multi-employer pension funds will be approximately $56 million and $57 million, respectively. In addition, we also have, and will continue to have, substantial operating lease obligations. As of

March 31, 2012, our minimum rental expense under operating leases for the remainder of 2012 was $40.8 million. As of March 31, 2012, our operating lease obligations through 2025 totaled $172.4 million.

Our capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $15.1 million and $10.1 million, respectively. These amounts were principally used to fund replacement engines and trailer refurbishments for our revenue fleet, capitalized maintenance costs for our network facilities and technology infrastructure. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2012, we entered into new operating lease commitments for revenue equipment of approximately $49.1 million, with such payment to be made over the average lease term of 3 years. In light of our recent operating results and liquidity needs, we have deferred capital expenditures and expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future, including the remainder of 2012. As a result, the average age of our fleet has increased and we will need to update our fleet periodically.

The credit facilities require us to comply with certain financial covenants, including maintenance of a maximum total leverage ratio, minimum interest coverage ratio, minimum adjusted EBITDA and maximum capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined our credit facilities, is a measure that reflects the Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and further adjusted for letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees and results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations. We were in compliance with each of these covenants as of and for the four quarters ended March 31, 2012. As previously discussed, the financial covenants under the credit facilities were amended in April 2012 to modify these financial covenants for the remaining term of the credit facilities.

As a result of the recent amendments to our credit facilities, these financial covenants were modified for the remaining term of the credit facilities. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for further information regarding these amendments and new financial covenants.

•

our operating results, pricing and shipping volumes must continue to improve at a rate significantly better than what we have achieved in our recent financial results;

•

we must continue to comply with covenants and other terms of our credit facilities so as to have access to the borrowings available to us under such credit facilities;

•

our anticipated cost savings under our labor agreements, including wage reductions and savings due to work rule changes, must continue;

•

we must complete real estate sale transactions as anticipated;

•

we must continue to defer purchases of replacement revenue equipment or secure suitable operating leases for such replacement revenue equipment;

•

we must continue to implement and realize substantial cost savings measures to match our costs with business levels and to continue to become more efficient;

•

we will continue to aggressively seek additional and return business from customers;

•

we will continue to attempt to reduce our escrow deposits and letter of credit collateral requirements related to our self-insurance programs;

•

if appropriate, we may sell additional equity or pursue other capital market transactions; and

•

we may consider selling additional assets or business lines, which would require lenders’ consent in most cases.

Forward-Looking Statements in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”

Our beliefs regarding liquidity sufficiency are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are indicated by words such as “should,” “could,” “may,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate” and other similar words. Our actual liquidity may differ from our projected liquidity based on a number of factors, including those listed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. The company’s expectations regarding proceeds from future real estate sales are only its expectations regarding these matters. Actual proceeds will be determined by company’s ability to sell the properties for expected sales prices, which is dependent on the availability of capital and willing buyers and counterparties in the market and the outcome of discussions to enter into and close any such transactions on negotiated terms and conditions, including (without limitation) usual and ordinary closing conditions such as favorable title reports or opinions and favorable environmental assessments of specific properties.

Cash Flow

Operating Cash Flow

Operating cash flows increased $29.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. This increase is primarily attributable to a $21.1 million year-over-year reduction in operating losses.

Investing Cash Flow

Investing cash flows increased $3.6 million during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. This increase is related to the $10.1 million net receipt from restricted escrow due to a reduction in required letters of credit under our previous ABS facility, offset by a $5.1 million increase in the acquisition of property and equipment. The increase in the acquisition of property and equipment was primarily related to the addition of replacement engines and trailer refurbishments for our revenue fleet.

Financing Cash Flow

Net cash provided by financing activities for the first quarter of 2012 was $37.9 million compared to $58.6 million for the same period in 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we increased our net borrowings under our ABL facility by $45.0 million, offset by the $6.0 million repayment of other long-term debt and $1.1 million in debt issuance costs.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments

The following tables provide aggregated information regarding our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of March 31, 2012.

(a)	Total liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2012, were $29.4 million and are classified on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet within “Other Current and Accrued Liabilities”.

(b)

Long-term debt maturities are reflected by contractual maturity for all obligations other than the contingent convertible senior notes which have a par value of $1.9 million. These notes are instead presented based on the earliest possible redemption date defined as the first date on which the note holders have the option to require us to purchase their notes at par. At March 31, 2012, these notes are convertible for cash payment of a nominal amount based on an assumed market price of $6.50 per share for our common stock. Should the note holders elect to exercise the conversion options, cash payments would be less than those presented in the table above.

(c)	The $343.5 million of lease financing obligation payments represent interest payments of $258.3 million and principal payments of $85.3 million. The remaining principle obligation is offset by the estimated book value of leased property at the expiration date of each lease agreement.

(d)	The $112.8 million of letter of credit fees are related to the cash collateral for our outstanding letters of credit on our previous ABS facility, as well as the amended and restated credit agreement outstanding letters of credit.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we entered into new operating lease commitments for revenue equipment of approximately $49.1 million, with such lease payments to be made over the average lease term of 3 years.

Other Commercial Commitments

The following table reflects other commercial commitments or potential cash outflows that may result from a contingent event, such as a need to borrow short-term funds due to insufficient free cash flow.

(a)	Under our credit facilities, we hold in restricted escrow $8.3 million of cash related to the net cash proceeds from certain asset sales. This restricted escrow provides additional cash collateral for our outstanding letters of credit.

(b)	We hold in restricted escrow $47.5 million, which represents cash collateral for our outstanding letters of credit on our previous ABS facility.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are primarily exposed to the market risk associated with unfavorable movements in interest rates, foreign currencies, and fuel price volatility. The risk inherent in our market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss or increased expense arising from adverse changes in those factors. There have been no material changes to our market risk policies or our market risk sensitive instruments and positions as described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012 and has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2012.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibit 10.4

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into on January 9, 2012 with an Effective Date of February 13, 2012, unless earlier agreed to by the parties, by and among YRC Worldwide Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”) and Michelle A. Russell (“Executive”).

WHEREAS, Executive and the Company wish to enter into an employment relationship on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has authorized the Company to enter into this Agreement; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the validity and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Term of Employment. The Company hereby agrees to employ Executive under this Agreement, and Executive hereby accepts such employment, for the Term of Employment. Except as provided in this Section 1, the Term of Employment shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall end on December 31, 2015. The Term of Employment may be sooner terminated by either party in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the sole remedies for early termination of the Term of Employment are as provided in Section 8.

2.	Position, Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) During the Term of Employment, Executive shall serve as the Executive Vice President and General Counsel of the Company and of such of its subsidiaries as the Board may request, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO”) and the Board, and shall perform such lawful duties as are specified from time to time by the CEO and/or the Board that are commensurate with her position as General Counsel.

(b) During the Term of Employment, Executive shall perform Executive’s duties faithfully and to the best of Executive’s abilities and shall devote all of Executive’s business time, on a full time basis, to the business and affairs of the Company and shall use Executive’s best efforts to advance the best interest of the Company and shall comply with all of the written policies of the Company, including, without limitation, such written policies with respect to legal compliance, conflicts of interest, confidentiality, insider trading, code of conduct and business ethics as are from time to time in effect (collectively, and as amended or modified from time to time by the Board in its discretion, the “Policies”).

(c) During the Term of Employment, Executive hereby agrees that Executive’s services will be rendered exclusively to the Company and Executive shall not directly or indirectly render services to, or otherwise act in a business or professional capacity on behalf of or for the benefit of, any other Person (as defined below) as an employee, advisor, member of a board or similar governing body, sole proprietor, independent contractor, agent, consultant, representative or otherwise, whether or not compensated, except as may otherwise be explicitly permitted by the Board in writing in accordance with the Policies following receipt of notice from Executive regarding any such matter. During the Term

of Employment, Executive further agrees that Executive shall not seek, solicit, or otherwise look for employment (whether as an employee, consultant or otherwise) with any other Person. “Person” or “person”, as used in this Agreement, means any individual, partnership, Iimited partnership, corporation, limited liability company, trust, estate, cooperative, association, organization, proprietorship, firm, joint venture, joint stock company, syndicate, company, committee, government or governmental subdivision or agency, or other entity, in each case, whether or not for profit.

(d) Executive’s services hereunder shall be performed by Executive in the Company’s principal executive offices in Overland Park, Kansas; provided, that, Executive may be required to travel for business purposes during the Term of Employment.

(e) Upon expiration of the Term of Employment or the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, upon the request of the Board, Executive shall resign, in writing, from any positions Executive then holds with the Company and its subsidiaries, including, if applicable, membership on the Board and/or other boards of the Company’s subsidiaries.

3. Base Salary. Commencing as of the Effective Date, the Company shall pay Executive an annualized Base Salary of four hundred twenty-five thousand U.S. dollars ($425,000) (“Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices applicable to senior executives of the Company. During the Term of Employment, the Board may increase (but not decrease) Executive’s Base Salary in its discretion. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any additional consideration for service during the Term of Employment as a member of the Board and/or as an officer or employee of any subsidiary.

4.	Incentive Compensation.

(a) Restricted Stock Award. Executive shall be granted a restricted stock award on the Effective Date (the “Grant Date”), equal to 0.2% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, calculated on a fully-diluted basis, as of the Effective Date (the “Initial Award”). The Initial Award shall be subject in all respects to the terms of the applicable restricted stock award agreement evidencing the Initial Award and the Company’s management incentive plan (the “Plan”); provided, that, the Initial Award shall provide in part that shares subject to the award shall vest according to the vesting schedule for the Initial Award as set forth on Annex A hereto; provided, further, that, Executive is still then employed by the Company on each such date. In addition, subject to applicable legal and accounting restrictions, the Initial Award will provide that Executive may elect to satisfy her minimum income tax withholding obligations by having the Company withhold a sufficient number of shares with a fair market value equal to such withholding obligation. Executive will have an opportunity to review and provide input on the applicable restricted stock award agreement evidencing the Initial Award. This Section 4(a) shall survive expiration of the Agreement for so long as is necessary to give effect thereto, although this survival clause shall not be construed as a guarantee of Executive’s employment for any particular period.

(b) Performance Awards. Provided Executive is continuously employed the first day of the first calendar month following the end of the respective fiscal years, within ninety (90) days following the end of each of the first four completed fiscal years which occur during the Term of Employment (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include fiscal year 2012 on a non-prorated basis), Executive shall be granted a restricted award of common stock up to 0.15% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, calculated on a fully-diluted basis, if one or more pre-established performance goals for

such completed fiscal year established by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), after consultation with Executive, have been achieved, as determined by the Committee (each, a “Performance Award”). A Performance Award shall be 50% vested upon the date of grant and 50% vested on the first anniversary of the date of grant; provided, that, Executive has not been terminated pursuant to Section 6(c) or Section 6(e)(i) and is otherwise still then employed by the Company on such anniversary or such grant date, as applicable. In addition, subject to applicable legal and accounting restrictions, the Performance Award will provide that Executive may elect to satisfy Executive’s minimum income tax withholding obligations by having the Company withhold a sufficient number of shares with a fair market value equal to such withholding obligation. This Section 4(b) shall survive expiration of the Agreement for so long as is necessary to give effect thereto, although this survival clause shall not be construed as a guarantee of Executive’s employment for any particular period. The scheduled vesting of the Initial Award and the Performance Award(s) are set forth on Annex A hereto.

(c) Claw-Back. If, pursuant to Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), the Company would not be eligible for continued listing, if applicable, under Section 10D(a) of the Act if it did not adopt policies consistent with Section 10D(b) of the Act, then, in accordance with those policies that are so required, any incentive-based compensation payable to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise shall be subject to claw-back in the circumstances, to the extent, and in the manner, required by Section 10D(b)(2) of the Act, as interpreted by rules of the Securities Exchange Commission.

(d) Cash Bonus Plan. The Company shall provide Executive a cash performance bonus (“Bonus”) based on Executive’s achievement of certain performance criteria (“Performance Criteria”) for each fiscal year, provided, that, Bonus for fiscal year 2012 shall not exceed one hundred thousand U.S. dollars ($100,000).

(e) Relocation Bonus. On the Effective Date, Executive shall be paid one hundred thousand U.S. dollars ($100,000).

(f) Excess Compensation Limit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any taxable compensation, including, without limitation, Base Salary, Bonuses, taxable fringe benefits and perquisites, payable by the Company to Executive shall in no event exceed one million U.S. dollars ($1,000,000) (as adjusted) in any calendar year commencing prior to January 1, 2013 so as to result in any accelerated pension contributions or other additional pension expense payable by the Company pursuant to the Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010 or other similar law.

5.	Other Benefits.

(a) Employee Benefits. During the Term of Employment, Executive shall be entitled to participate in such employee benefit plans and insurance programs made available generally to senior executives of the Company, or which it may adopt from time to time, for its employees, in accordance with the eligibility requirements for participation therein.

(b) Vacations. During the Term of Employment, Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks paid vacation per year to be accrued and taken in accordance with the normal vacation policies of the Company. Accrued but unused vacation shall be paid following Executive’s termination of employment in accordance with the Company’s normal vacation policy in effect from time to time.

(c) Reimbursement of Business and Other Expenses. Executive is authorized to incur reasonable expenses in carrying out Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, and the Company shall promptly reimburse Executive for all such expenses, subject to documentation and subject to the expense reimbursement policies of the Company during the Term of Employment.

(d) Relocation Assistance. Executive shall be entitled to relocation benefits commensurate with the Executive’s position, in accordance with the Company’s relocation program in effect from time to time and notwithstanding any limitation of the foregoing, to include reasonable realtor fees and reasonable moving expenses from Wichita, Kansas to the Kansas City metropolitan area.

(e) Automobile Allowance. Company shall provide Executive an automobile allowance of one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) per month during the Term of Employment.

6. Termination of Employment. Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated during the Term of Employment under the following circumstances:

(a) Death. Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon Executive’s death.

(b) Disability. The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment hereunder for Disability (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean Executive’s inability to perform her duties hereunder on a full-time basis for a period of ninety days during any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period, as a result of physical or mental incapacity as determined by a medical doctor reasonably selected in good faith by the Board.

(c) For Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment for Cause (as defined in this Section 6(c)). Upon the reasonable belief by the Board that Executive has committed an act (or failure to act) which constitutes Cause, the Company may immediately suspend Executive from Executive’s duties herein and bar Executive from Company premises during the Board’s investigation of such acts (or failures to act) and any such suspension shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company and/or otherwise provide Executive a right to terminate Executive’s employment for Good Reason (as defined in Section 6(e)) (the “Investigation Period”). If Executive is ultimately terminated for Cause following the Investigation Period, which shall not exceed one-hundred eighty (180) days, then Executive’s employment shall be deemed to have been terminated as of the first day of such Investigation Period for all purposes under this Agreement (other than with respect to the payment of Base Salary, participation and vesting in the Company’s qualified defined contribution plan, and the provision of welfare (i.e., health, dental, life insurance, and vacation) benefits during the Investigation Period). For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (i) Executive’s commission or guilty plea or plea of no contest to a felony (or its equivalent under applicable law) or a misdemeanor that involves moral turpitude, (ii) conduct by Executive that constitutes fraud or embezzlement or any acts of dishonesty in relation to Executive’s duties with the Company, (iii) Executive having engaged in negligence, bad faith or misconduct which causes either material reputational or material economic harm to the Company or its affiliates, (iv) Executive’s continued refusal to substantially perform Executive’s essential duties hereunder, which refusal is not remedied within ten (10) days after written notice from the Board (which notice specifies in reasonable detail the grounds constituting Cause under this subclause), or (v) Executive’s breach of Executive’s obligations

under this Agreement or the Policies maintained by the Company, which is not cured, if curable, within ten (10) days after the Company notifies Executive of such breach (which notice specifies in reasonable detail the grounds constituting Cause under this subclause). For the avoidance of doubt, Cause shall not exist under subclause (v) of this Section 6(c) as a result of Executive’s poor performance of Executive’s duties.

(d) Without Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause at any time by providing Executive with a Notice of Termination.

(e) By Executive. Executive shall have the right to terminate her employment hereunder without Good Reason (as defined in Section 6(c)) by providing the Company with a Notice of Termination at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to such termination (which advance notice may be waived by the Company). Executive shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment hereunder with Good Reason as set forth herein. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive shall have “Good Reason” to terminate her employment if, within thirty (30) days after Executive knows (or has reason to know) of the occurrence of any of the following events, Executive provides written notice requesting cure to the Board of such events, and the Board fails to cure, if curable, such events within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice: (i) a material reduction in Executive’s Base Salary; (ii) any material diminution in Executive’s duties or responsibilities or the assignment to Executive of duties or responsibilities that materially impair Executive’s ability to perform the duties or responsibilities then assigned to Executive or normally assigned to the General Counsel of an enterprise of the size and structure of the Company or (iii) any material breach by the Company of their obligations to the Executive under this Agreement.

(f) Due to Expiration of the Term of Employment. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, Executive’s employment and this Agreement (other than provisions intended to survive) shall terminate upon the expiration of the Term of Employment.

7. Termination Procedure.

(a) Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive’s employment by the Company or by Executive during the Term of Employment (other than termination pursuant to Section 6(a)) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 13 hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.

(b) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean (i) if Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive’s death, the date of Executive’s death, (ii) if Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 6(b), fifteen (15) days after Notice of Termination, and (iii) if Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given or any later date set forth in such notice (but within ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice); provided, however, that the notice period for a termination by Executive without Good Reason shall be, unless waived by the Company, at least one hundred twenty (120) days) after the giving of such Notice of Termination.

8. Compensation Upon Termination. In the event Executive’s employment terminates during the Term of Employment, the Company shall provide Executive with the payments set forth below. The severance payments described in Section 8(b) shall be in lieu of any other severance or termination benefits that Executive may otherwise be eligible to receive under any severance policy, plan or program maintained by the Company or its subsidiaries or as otherwise mandated by law. To the extent that the Company and/or its subsidiaries are required to pay Executive severance or termination pay under any such severance policy, plan, program or applicable law, the amounts payable hereunder shall be reduced, but not below zero, on a dollar for dollar basis.

(a) Termination for Cause or Without Good Reason, Death, Disability or Expiration of the Term. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by Executive without Good Reason, or upon Executive’s death or Disability or upon the expiration of the Term of Employment:

(i)

within ten (10) business days following such termination, the Company shall pay to Executive (or her beneficiary or estate) any unpaid Base Salary earned through the Date of Termination;

(ii)

within thirty (30) days following such termination, the Company shall reimburse Executive pursuant to Section 5(c) for reasonable expenses incurred but not paid prior to such termination of employment; and

(iii)

the Company shall provide to Executive other or additional benefits (if any), in accordance with the then-applicable terms of any then-applicable plan, program, agreement or other arrangement of any of the Company, or of any of their subsidiaries, in which Executive participates (the rights described in clauses (i) to (iii) are collectively referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”).

(b) Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. In the event that Executive’s employment under this Agreement is terminated by the Company without Cause under Section 6(d) of this Agreement or by Executive with Good Reason during the Term of Employment, the Company shall pay or provide to Executive the Accrued Obligations and subject to Executive’s signing (and not revoking) a general release of claims in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company within twenty-one (21) days or forty-five (45) days, whichever period is required under applicable law, the Company shall pay to Executive a severance amount equal to 150% of Executive’s annual rate of Base Salary immediately prior to the Date of Termination, payable in eighteen (18) monthly installments (“Monthly Severance Payments”), commencing on the 60th day following the Date of Termination. Monthly Severance Payments shall be made in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company; provided, that, if Executive is in breach of any of her obligations under Section 9 of this Agreement, the Company may cease making the payments under this Section 8(b). Each Monthly Severance Payment shall be treated as a separate payment for the purposes of Code Section 409A.

More particularly, and without limiting the foregoing, Executive agrees that all of the foregoing and any (i) inventions (whether patentable or not, and without regard to whether any patent therefor is ever sought); (ii) marks, names or logos (whether or not registrable as trade or service marks, and without regard to whether registration therefor is ever sought); (iii) works of authorship (without regard to

Executive agrees that all works of authorship created by Executive during Executive’s engagement by the Company shall be works made for hire of which the Company and its Affiliates are the author and owner of copyright. To the extent that any competent decision-making authority should ever determine that any work of authorship created by Executive during Executive engagement by the Company is not a work made for hire, Executive hereby assigns all right, title and interest in the copyright therein, in perpetuity and throughout the world, to the Company. To the extent that this Agreement does not otherwise serve to grant or otherwise vest in the Company all rights in any Intellectual Property Product created by Executive during Executive’s engagement by the Company, or within three (3) months thereafter, Executive hereby assigns all right, title and interest therein, in perpetuity and throughout the world, to the Company. Executive agrees to execute, immediately upon the Company’s reasonable request and without charge, any further assignments, applications, conveyances or other instruments, at any time after execution of this Agreement, whether or not Executive is engaged by the Company at the time such request is made, in order to permit the Company, their Affiliates and/or their respective assigns to protect, perfect, register, record, maintain or enhance their rights in any Intellectual Property Product; provided, that, the Company shall bear the cost of any such assignments, applications or consequences. Upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, and at any earlier time the Company so request, Executive will immediately deliver to the custody of the person designated by the Company all originals and copies of any documents and other property of the Company in Executive’s possession or under Executive’s control.

(g) Non-Disparagement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive will not defame or publicly criticize the services, business, prospects, quality, integrity, veracity or personal or professional reputation of the Company and/or its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, partners, executives, employees or agents thereof in either a professional or personal manner at any time following the Term of Employment.

(h) Enforcement. If Executive commits a breach of any of the provisions of this Section 9, the Company shall have the right and remedy to seek to have the provisions specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction (without the posting of any bond or security), it being acknowledged and agreed by Executive that the services being rendered hereunder to the Company are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that any such breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company. Such right and remedy shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company at law or in equity.

(i) Blue Pencil. If, at any time, the provisions of this Section 9 shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to area, duration or scope of activity, this Agreement shall be considered divisible and shall become and be immediately amended to only such area, duration and scope of activity as shall be determined to be reasonable and enforceable by the court or other body having jurisdiction over the matter and Executive and the Company agree that this Agreement as so amended shall be valid and binding as though any invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included herein.

(j) EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EXECUTIVE HAS READ THIS SECTION 9 AND HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW ITS PROVISIONS WITH ANY ADVISORS AS EXECUTIVE CONSIDERED NECESSARY AND THAT EXECUTIVE UNDERSTANDS THIS AGREEMENT’S CONTENTS AND SIGNIFIES SUCH UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEMENT BY SIGNING BELOW.

10. Assignability; Binding Nature. The rights and benefits of Executive hereunder shall not be assignable, whether by voluntary or involuntary assignment or transfer by Executive. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of the Company, and the heirs, executors and administrators of Executive, and shall be assignable by the Company only to any entity acquiring substantially all of the assets of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or similar transactions.

11. Representations. Executive represents and warrants to the Company, and Executive acknowledges that the Company has relied on such representations and warranties in employing Executive, that neither Executive’s duties as an employee of the Company nor Executive’s performance of this Agreement will breach any other agreement to which Executive is a party, including, without limitation, any agreement limiting the use or disclosure of any information acquired by Executive prior to her employment with the Company. In addition, Executive represents and warrants and acknowledges that the Company has relied on such representations and warranties in employing Executive and that Executive has not entered into, and will not enter into any agreement, either oral or written, in conflict herewith.

12. Resolution of Disputes. Any dispute concerning the validity, interpretation, enforcement, or breach of this Agreement, or otherwise arising between the parties, shall (except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 9(h) with respect to certain requests for injunctive relief) be submitted to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for resolution. Such arbitration shall be conducted in the State of Delaware, and the arbitrator will apply Delaware law, including federal law as applied in Delaware courts. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s Employment Arbitration Rules, as modified by the terms set forth in this Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, who shall be an attorney who specializes in the field of employment law and shall have prior experience arbitrating employment disputes. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment on the award may be confirmed and entered in any state or federal court in the State of Delaware. The arbitration shall be conducted on a strictly confidential basis, and Executive shall not disclose the existence of a claim, the nature of a claim, any documents, exhibits, or information exchanged or presented in connection with any such a claim, or the result of any arbitration (collectively, “Arbitration Materials”), to any third party, with the sole exception of Executive’s legal counsel, who also shall be bound by all confidentiality terms of this Agreement. In the event of any court proceeding to challenge or enforce an arbitrator’s award, the parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware, and agree to venue in that jurisdiction. The parties agree to take all steps necessary to protect the confidentiality of the Arbitration Materials in connection with any such proceeding, agree to file all Confidential Information (and documents containing Confidential Information) under seal to the extent possible and agree to the entry of an appropriate protective order encompassing the confidentiality terms of this Agreement. Each party agrees to pay its own costs and fees in connection with any arbitration of a dispute arising under this Agreement, and any court proceeding arising therefrom, regardless of outcome; provided, however, that if Executive prevails on substantially all claims, then the Company shall reimburse Executive for attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by Executive.

13. Notices. Any notice, consent, demand, request or other communication given to a Person in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given to such Person (a) when delivered personally to such Person or (b) provided that a written acknowledgment of receipt is obtained, five days after being sent by prepaid certified or registered mail, or two days after being sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier, to the address (if any) specified below for such Person (or to such other address as such Person shall have specified by ten (10) days advance notice given in accordance with this Section 13) or (c) in the case of the Company, on the first business day after it is sent by facsimile to the facsimile number set forth below (or to such other facsimile number as shall have been specified by ten (10) days advance notice given in accordance with this Section 13), with a confirmatory copy sent by certified or registered mail or by overnight courier in accordance with this Section 13.

(i)

The Company is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has been duly authorized by all necessary and appropriate action to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, and the individual executing this Agreement on behalf of the Company has been duly authorized by all necessary action on behalf of the Company. This Agreement creates a binding and legally enforceable agreement against the Company.

(ii)

Neither the execution nor the delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein conflict with or will result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of

(A)

the governing documents under which the Company is constituted; or

(B)

any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

(iii)

The Board has approved the employment of Executive pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation, bylaws and any other necessary documents or procedures of the Company.

(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement among the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes prior agreements, understandings, discussions, negotiations and undertakings, whether written or oral, among them with respect thereto.

(c) Severability. In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law so as to achieve the purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Amendment or Waiver. No provision in this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is set forth in a writing that specifically identifies the provision being amended and that is signed by the parties and in the case of the Company, such amendment has been approved by the Board or its designee. No waiver by any Person of any breach of any condition or provision contained in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time. To be effective, any waiver must be set forth in a writing that specifically refers to the condition or provision that is being waived and is signed by the waiving Person and in the case of the Company, such waiver has been approved by the Board or its designee.

(e) Headings. The headings of the Sections and sub-sections contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

(f) Beneficiaries/References. Executive shall be entitled, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit under this Agreement following Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice thereof.

(g) Survivorship. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive any termination of Executive’s employment under this Agreement.

(h) Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts or benefits payable under this Agreement, or under any of the agreements of which forms are attached hereto, any taxes that are required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

(i) 409A Provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is intended to be interpreted and applied so that the payment of the benefits set forth herein either shall either be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, or shall comply with the requirements of such provision. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, if Executive is a “specified employee” within meaning of Section 409A of the Code, any payments or benefits due upon a termination of Executive’s employment under any arrangement that constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and which do not otherwise qualify under the exemptions under Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A-1 (including without limitation, the short-term deferral exemption and the permitted payments under Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)), shall be delayed and paid or provided on the earlier of (i) the date of which is six (6) months after Executive’s separation from service (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other published guidance thereunder) for any reason other than death, and (ii) the date of Executive’s death. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, distributions upon termination of Executive’s employment may only be made upon a “separation from service” as determined under Section 409A of the Code and such date shall be the Termination Date for purposes of this Agreement. Each payment under this Agreement or otherwise shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. In no event may Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement or otherwise which constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be

made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any reimbursements pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise are taxable to Executive, any reimbursement payment due to Executive shall be paid to Executive on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred; provided, that, Executive has provided the Company written documentation of such expenses in a timely fashion and such expenses otherwise satisfy the Company’ expense reimbursement policies. Reimbursements pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such reimbursements that Executive receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such reimbursements that Executive receives in any other taxable year. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the Company and their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents make no guarantee that the terms of this Agreement as written comply with, or are exempt from, the provisions of Code Section 409A, and none of the foregoing shall have any liability for the failure of the terms of this Agreement as written to comply with, or be exempt from, the provisions of Code Section 409A.

(j) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, construed, performed and enforced in accordance with its express terms, and otherwise in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.

(k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

(I) Joint Drafting. The Company and Executive acknowledge and agree that this Agreement was jointly drafted by the Company on the one side and by Executive on the other side. Neither party, nor any party’s counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement in any proceeding that may hereafter arise between them.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
