of the date hereof (the “Escrow Account Release”) and (ii) that the Revolving Commitments shall not be reduced upon the Escrow Account Release. Such Escrow Account Release is conditioned on the Company’s compliance in all
respects with Section 2.12(k) of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby.

 (u) The Credit Agreement is hereby amended to attach a new Schedule 6.02(n) thereto in the form of Attachment A to this Amendment.

 2. Conditions of Effectiveness. The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to the conditions precedent that (a) the

 5 








 
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 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. 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. 
 4. 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. 
 5. 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.

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

Parties). The Releasors hereby acknowledge that they have been advised by legal counsel of the meaning and consequences of this release.
