WHEREAS, the Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent have agreed to such amendments on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, the terms and conditions contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrowers, the Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent have agreed to enter into this Amendment.

or after the Amendment No. 7 Effective Date and prior to August 1, 2009, (A) if the Company shall first have demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent (with reporting of sufficient detail in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion) that the Company made 75,000 or more LTL shipments within the national segment for each of five (5) consecutive Business Days all occurring on or after the Amendment No. 7 Effective Date, it shall be a condition that the Required Lenders have agreed that the relevant portion of the Revolver Reserve Amount shall be made available to the Borrowers for such purpose and (B) if the Company cannot demonstrate the performance in the manner described in the foregoing clause (A), it shall be a condition that the Lenders having Revolving Credit Exposures, outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and unused Commitments representing at least 66^2/3% of the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures, aggregate principal amount of Term Loans and unused Commitments at such time have agreed that the relevant portion of the Revolver Reserve Amount shall be made available to the Borrowers for such purpose and (ii) with respect to any such request for a Borrowing or issuance to be made on or after August 1, 2009, it shall be a condition that the Required Lenders have agreed that the relevant portion of the Revolver Reserve Amount shall be made available to the Borrowers for such purpose.

2. Conditions of Effectiveness. The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to the conditions precedent that (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) counterparts of this Amendment duly executed by the Borrowers, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Consent and Reaffirmation attached hereto duly executed by the Subsidiary Guarantors and (iii) those documents and instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and (b) the Company shall have paid all invoiced, reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, to the extent invoiced, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with this Amendment and the other Loan Documents, in each case to the extent reimbursable under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

3. Amendment to a Pension Fund Intercreditor Agreement. The Lenders party hereto authorize JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (in its capacity as Administrative Agent and/or as Collateral Agent) to permit Wilmington Trust Company to designate Wilmington Trust FSB, a Federal Savings Bank, or any other affiliate of Wilmington Trust Company, as sub-agent on behalf of Wilmington Trust Company, for purposes of perfecting and otherwise being and acting as the secured party in respect of the “Pension Fund Lien” on the “Common Collateral” (each as defined in the Pension Fund Intercreditor Agreement dated as of June 17, 2009).

4. Representations and Warranties of the Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants as follows as of the closing date of this Amendment:

(a) This Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower and are enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(b) As of the date hereof after giving effect to the terms of this Amendment, (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrowers set forth in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date.

5. Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement.

(a) Upon the effectiveness hereof, each reference to the Credit Agreement in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

(b) Except as specifically amended above, the Credit Agreement and all other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith.

6. Perfection of Additional Collateral. The parties hereto acknowledge that perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien in certain Collateral, including, without limitation, real property and improvements thereto, tractors, trailers and other rolling stock, is ongoing, but the Company and the Loan Parties continue to execute such documents, agreements and instruments in connection therewith in accordance with Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement (as amended by the Amendment) and the other Loan Documents. To the extent that any release of Collateral pursuant to the Specified Sale and Leaseback Transaction, any Specified Pension Fund Transaction and any other Asset Sale consummated between the date hereof and July 15, 2009 diminishes the value of Collateral, the Company agrees that any perfection of Liens described in the preceding sentence that occurs between the date hereof and July 15, 2009 shall be considered to have occurred substantially contemporaneously with any release of Collateral pursuant to the Specified Sale and Leaseback Transaction, any Specified Pension Fund Transaction and any other Asset Sale consummated between the date hereof and July 15, 2009 that diminishes the value of the Collateral.

7. Release. In further consideration of the execution by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of this Amendment, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries, and all of the successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Releasors”), hereby completely, voluntarily, knowingly, and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders, each of their advisors, professionals and employees, each affiliate of the foregoing and all of their respective permitted successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”), from any and all claims, actions, suits, and other liabilities, including, without limitation, any so-called “lender liability” claims or defenses (collectively, “Claims”), whether arising in law or in equity, which any of the Releasors ever had, now has or hereinafter can, shall or may have against any of the Releasees for, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever from time to time occurred on or prior to the date hereof, in any way concerning, relating to, or arising from (i) any of the Transactions, (ii) the Secured Obligations, (iii) the Collateral, (iv) the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (v) the financial condition, business operations, business plans, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrowers, and (vi) the negotiation, documentation and execution of this Amendment and any documents relating hereto except for Claims determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Releasee (or any of its Related Parties). The Releasors hereby acknowledge that they have been advised by legal counsel of the meaning and consequences of this release.

8. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

9. Headings. Section headings in this Amendment are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.

10. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

WAIVER AND AMENDMENT NO. 11

Dated as of October 9, 2009

CREDIT AGREEMENT

Dated as of August 17, 2007

THIS WAIVER AND AMENDMENT NO. 11 (“Amendment”) is made as of October 9, 2009 by and among YRC Worldwide Inc. (the “Company”), the Canadian Borrower and the UK Borrower (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the financial institutions listed on the signature pages hereof and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”), under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of August 17, 2007 by and among the Borrowers from time to time party thereto, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (as amended, amended and restated, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree to certain waivers in respect of and amendments to the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents; and

WHEREAS, the Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent have agreed to such waivers and amendments on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

1. WAIVER.

(a) The Company has requested that the Lenders waive any Default or Event of Default arising under clause (d) of Article VII of the Credit Agreement as a result of: (i) the Loan Parties’ failure to comply with the negative covenants set forth in Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement by virtue of the existence of the Investment identified on Annex A hereto (such Investment, the “1994 Note”); (ii) the Loan Parties’ failure to comply with the affirmative covenants set forth in Section 5.02(a) of the Credit Agreement by virtue of not providing notice to the Administrative Agent in respect of the failure described in the preceding clause (i); and (iii) the Loan Parties’ failure to comply with the affirmative covenant set forth in Section 4.4 of the Security Agreement by virtue of not delivering the 1994 Note to the Administrative Agent (collectively, the “Investment Covenant Default”).

(b) The Company has requested that the Lenders waive any Default or Event of Default which has arisen or may arise under clause (c) of Article VII of the Credit Agreement as a result of representations or warranties made or deemed made by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with any Loan Document or in any report, certificate or other document furnished pursuant

to or in connection with any Loan Document proving to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made solely as a result of (i) the Investment Covenant Default and/or the Investment Covenant Cross Default (as defined below) and (ii) not disclosing the 1994 Note on Exhibit D of the Security Agreement (such failure, the “Additional Representation Default”).

(c) The Company has requested that the Lenders waive any Default or Event of Default arising under clause (g) and (r) of Article VII of the Credit Agreement as a result of the existence of a Servicer Default (as defined in the Yellow Receivables Facility) arising solely as a result of the Investment Covenant Default, the CDA Investment Covenant Cross Default, and/or the Additional Representation Default (such cross default, the “ABS Investment Covenant Cross Default”).

(d) The Company has requested that the Lenders waive any Default or Event of Default arising under clause (t) of Article VII of the Credit Agreement arising solely as a result of the existence of a “Default” under the Specified Pension Fund Deferral Transaction Documents arising solely as a result of the Investment Covenant Default, the ABS Investment Covenant Cross Default, and/or the Additional Representation Default (such cross default, the “CDA Investment Covenant Cross Default”).

(e) Effective as of the date of satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 below, the Lenders party hereto hereby waive the Investment Covenant Default, the Additional Representation Default, the ABS Investment Covenant Cross Default and the CDA Investment Covenant Cross Default.

(f) Pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement, except as set forth herein, no failure or delay by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power under the Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 11.02(b) of the Credit Agreement, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan, acceptance of a Draft or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

2. AMENDMENTS TO CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE SECURITY AGREEMENT. EFFECTIVE AS OF THE DATE OF SATISFACTION OR WAIVER OF THE CONDITIONS PRECEDENT SET FORTH IN SECTION 3 BELOW, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE SECURITY AGREEMENT ARE HEREBY AMENDED AS FOLLOWS:
