SECTION 6
POLICY BENEFITS PAYABLE IN THE CASE OF DISABILITY OR DEATH 
Upon termination of an Eligible Employee’s employment by reason of death or Disability, Employee or Employee’s estate (as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Rights as set forth in Section 4(a), and shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Policy. 
SECTION 7 
LIMITATIONS ON BENEFITS
(a)    Excise Taxes.  If the severance payments provided for under this Policy, either alone or together with other payments which Eligible Employee would have the right to receive from the Company, would constitute a “parachute payment,” as defined in Section 280G(a) of the Code as in effect at the time of payment, such payment shall be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or the disallowance of a deduction by Company pursuant to Section 280G of the Code.  The determination of the amount of any reduction under this section, and the plan and payment to which such reductions shall apply, shall, to the extent permitted by Section 409A, be made in good faith by the Company and otherwise shall be made in such a manner so as to maximize the value of payments to the Eligible Employee and such determination shall be binding on the Eligible Employee.
(b)    Termination of Benefits.  In the event an Eligible Employee, at any time, violates any proprietary information of confidentiality obligation to the Company, any of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 8 of this Policy or any other obligations of the Eligible Employee under an employment or other agreement with the Company, (i) the Eligible Employee will be deemed in material breach of this Policy and (ii) the Company will be relieved of any ongoing obligation to comply with any of the terms of this Policy, including without limitation the obligation to make the payments described in Sections 4 or 5 (other than the Accrued Rights described in 4(a) and 5(a)).

(c)    Non-Duplication of Benefits.  No Eligible Employee is eligible to receive benefits under the Policy more than one time.
(d)    Indebtedness of Eligible Employees.  If the Eligible Employee is indebted to the Company or an affiliate of the Company at his or her Termination Date, the Company reserves the right to offset any payments due under the Policy by the amount of such indebtedness.
(e)    Section 409A Compliance.  All payments pursuant to this Policy shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7(e). This Policy is intended to be interpreted and operated to the fullest extent possible so that the payments and benefits hereunder either shall be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended  (“Section 409A”) or shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Policy, in no event shall the Company be liable to the Eligible Employee for or with respect to any taxes, penalties or interest which may be imposed upon the Eligible Employee pursuant to Section 409A.  For purposes of this Policy, the date on which a “separation from service” pursuant to Section 409A (“Separation from Service”) occurs shall be treated as the termination of employment date for purposes of determining the timing of payments under this Policy to the extent necessary to have such payments and benefits under this Policy be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A or comply with the requirements of Section 409A.  For purposes of determining whether a Separation from Service has occurred for purposes of Section 409A, a Separation from Service is deemed to include a reasonably anticipated permanent reduction in the level of services performed by the Eligible Employee to less than fifty percent (50%) of the average level of services performed by the Eligible Employee during the immediately preceding 12-month period (or period of service if less than twelve (12) months).

To the extent that any payment or benefit pursuant to this Policy constitutes a “deferral of compensation” subject to Section 409A (after taking into account to the maximum extent possible any applicable exemptions) (a “409A Payment”) treated as payable upon a Separation from Service, then, if on the date of the Eligible Employee’s Separation from Service, the Eligible Employee is a Specified Employee, then to the extent required for Eligible Employee not to incur additional taxes pursuant to Section 409A, no such 409A Payment shall be made to the Eligible Employee sooner than the earlier of (i) six (6) months after the Eligible Employee’s Separation from Service; or (ii) the date of the Eligible Employee’s death. Should this Section 7(e) otherwise result in the delay of in-kind benefits, any such benefit shall be made available to the Eligible Employee by the Company during such delay period at the Eligible Employee’s expense. Should this Section 7(e) result in payments or benefits to the Eligible Employee at a later time than otherwise would have been made under this Policy, on the first day any such payments or benefits may be made without incurring additional tax pursuant to Section 409A (the “409A Payment Date”), the Company shall make such payments and provide such benefits as provided for in this Policy, provided that any amounts that would have been payable earlier but for the application of this Section 7(e), as well as reimbursement of the amount the Eligible Employee paid for benefits pursuant to the preceding sentence, shall be paid in lump-sum on the 409A Payment Date along with accrued interest at the Prime Rate quoted by JP Morgan Chase on the date that payments or benefits, as applicable, to the Eligible Employee should have been made under this Policy. For purposes of this Section 7(e), the term “Specified Employee” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 409A. 

For purposes of complying with Section 409A and without extending the payment timing otherwise provided in this Policy, taxable reimbursements under this Policy, subject to the following sentence and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, will be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred.  To the extent required to comply with  Section 409A, any taxable reimbursements and any in-kind benefits under this Policy will be subject to the following:  (a) payment of such reimbursements or in-kind benefits during one calendar year will not affect the amount of such reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any other calendar year (other than for medical reimbursement arrangements as excepted under Treasury Regulations §1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv)(B) solely because the arrangement provides for a limit on the amount of expenses that may be reimbursed under such arrangement over some or all of the period the arrangement remains in effect); (b) such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another form of compensation to the Eligible Employee; and (c) the right to reimbursements under this Policy will be in effect for the lesser of the time specified in this Policy or ten years plus the lifetime of the Eligible Employee.  Any taxable reimbursements or in-kind benefits shall be treated as not subject to Section 409A to the maximum extent provided by Section 409A.
No 409A Payment payable under this Policy shall be subject to acceleration or to any change in the specified time or method of payment, except as otherwise provided under this Policy and consistent with Section 409A.  If under this Policy, a 409A Payment is to be paid in two or more installments, for purposes of Section 409A, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment.
SECTION 8
RELEASE; COVENANTS
(a)    Release.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Eligible Employee shall be entitled to the payments and benefits provided for in Sections 4 or 5 (other than the Accrued Rights described in 4(a) and 5(a)) if and only if the Eligible Employee executes and delivers to the Company a general release of claims against the Company in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “General Release”) within twenty-one (21) days following the Termination Date (which General Release shall be provided to the Eligible Employee on or about the Termination Date) and the General Release has become effective and irrevocable in accordance with its terms.
(b)    Agreement Not to Compete.  As a condition to and in consideration for any benefits provided under this Policy, an Eligible Employee shall not for twelve (12) months following an Involuntary Termination (the “Restricted Period”), directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, investor, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, compete with the Company or any affiliate (collectively, the “Company Group”) within any state, province or region in any country in which the Company Group conducts business, or has plans (of which Eligible Employee was aware) to conduct business, as of the Termination Date, or undertake any planning for any business competitive with the Company Group.  Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, an Eligible Employee shall not to engage in any manner in any activity that is directly or indirectly competitive with the business of the Company Group as conducted as of the Termination Date or that otherwise provides services that directly or indirectly competes with services provided to clients by the Company Group, and further agrees not to work or provide services, in any capacity, whether as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, whether with or without compensation, to any Person who is engaged in any business that is competitive with the business of the Company Group or otherwise provides services that directly or indirectly competes with services provided to clients by the Company Group.  For the purposes of this Section 8(b), the business of the Company shall include active exploration and precious metals mining operations.  The foregoing, however, shall not prevent an Eligible Employee’s passive ownership of two percent (2%) or less of the equity securities of any publicly traded company.
(c)    Agreement Not to Solicit Business Contacts.  As a condition to and in consideration for any benefits provided under this Policy, an Eligible Employee shall not, during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly (i) solicit or encourage any client, customer, bona fide prospective client or customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, landlord or other business relation of the Company and/or any of its affiliates (each a “Business Contact”) to terminate or diminish its relationship with them; or (ii) seek to persuade any such Business Contact to conduct with anyone else the business of the Company that such Business Contact conducts or could conduct with the Company and/or any of its affiliates.
(d)    Agreement Not to Solicit or Hire Employees.  As a condition to and in consideration for any benefits provided under this Policy, an Eligible Employee shall not, during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly solicit for employment, employ or induce or attempt to induce any employees, consultants, contractors or representatives of the Company and/or any of its affiliates to stop working for, contracting with or representing the Company and/or its affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Eligible Employee will not be in breach or violation hereof in the event the Eligible Employee uses any form of industry wide or public media to advertise, seek or solicit employment, consulting, contract or representative services without specifically targeting the employees, consultants, contractors or representatives of the Company.  
(e)    Non-Disparagement.  As a condition to and in consideration for any benefits provided under this Policy, an Eligible Employee shall not, during the Restricted Period or at any time thereafter, make, directly or indirectly, any public or private statements or other communications that are or could be harmful to or reflect negatively on (or that are otherwise disparaging of) the Company or any of its affiliates or their respective businesses, or any of their past, present or future officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents, policies, procedures, practices, decision-making, conduct, professionalism or compliance with standards, provided that an Eligible Employee may give truthful testimony under oath if so required.  
SECTION 9 
RIGHT TO INTERPRET POLICY; AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
(a)    Exclusive Discretion.  The Administrator will have the exclusive discretion and authority to establish rules, forms and procedures for the administration of the Policy and to construe and interpret the Policy and to decide any and all questions of fact, interpretation, definition, computation or administration arising in connection with the operation of the Policy, including, but not limited to, the eligibility to participate in the Policy and amount of benefits paid under the Policy.  The rules, interpretations, computations and other actions of the Administrator will be binding and conclusive on all persons.
(b)    Amendment or Termination.  
(i)    Prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Board or Administrator may amend or terminate the Policy at any time and from time to time.  Termination or amendment of the Policy shall not affect any obligation of the Company under the Policy, which has accrued and is unpaid as of the effective date of the termination or amendment.
(ii)    From and after the occurrence of a Change in Control, no provision of the Policy shall be modified, waived or discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Eligible Employee and by an authorized officer of the Company (other than the Eligible Employee).
(iii)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Board or the Administrator may amend the Policy (which amendment shall be effective upon its adoption or at such other time designated by the Board or the Administrator, as applicable) at any time as may be necessary to avoid the imposition of any additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A; provided, however, that any such amendment shall be implemented in such a manner as to preserve, to the greatest extent possible, the terms and conditions of the Policy as in existence immediately prior to any such amendment.
SECTION 10 
NO RIGHT TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE
Nothing herein shall confer upon an Eligible Employee any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any of its affiliates and this Policy shall not be deemed a contract of employment.  If an Eligible Employee’s employment terminates for any reason other than an Involuntary Termination, the Eligible Employee shall not be entitled to any benefits, damages, awards or compensation under this Policy, but may be entitled to payments or benefits in accordance with the Company’s other established employee plans and practices or pursuant to other agreements with the Company. 
SECTION 11 
SUCCESSORS
(a)    Company’s Successors.  Any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) or to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets will assume the obligations under the Policy and agree expressly to perform the obligations under the Policy in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession.  For all purposes under the Policy, the term “Company” will include any successor to the Company’s business and/or assets which executes and delivers the assumption agreement described in this Section 11(a) or which becomes bound by the terms of the Policy by operation of law or otherwise.
(b)    Eligible Employee’s Successors.  The terms of the Policy and all rights of the Eligible Employee hereunder will inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Eligible Employee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.
SECTION 12 
LEGAL CONSTRUCTION
The Policy is intended to be governed by and will be construed in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and, to the extent not preempted by ERISA, the laws of the State of Idaho.
SECTION 13 
CLAIMS, INQUIRIES AND APPEALS
(a)    Applications for Benefits and Inquiries.  Any application for benefits, inquiries about the Policy or inquiries about present or future rights under the Policy must be submitted to the Administrator in writing.
(b)    Denial of Claims.  In the event that any application for benefits is denied in whole or in part, the Administrator must notify the applicant, in writing, of the denial of the application, and of the applicant’s right to request a review of the denial.  The written notice of denial will be set forth in a manner designed to be understood by the applicant and will include specific reasons for the denial, specific references to the Policy provision upon which the denial is based, a description of any information or material that the Administrator needs to complete the review and an explanation of the Policy’s review procedure.

If an extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the applicant before the end of the initial ninety (90) day period.
This notice of extension will describe the special circumstances necessitating the additional time and the date by which the Administrator is to render its decision on the application.  If written notice of denial of the application for benefits is not furnished within the specified time, the application will be deemed to be denied.  The applicant will then be permitted to appeal the denial in accordance with the review procedure described below.
(c)    Request for a Review.  Any person (or that person’s authorized representative) for whom an application for benefits is denied (or deemed denied), in whole or in part, may appeal the denial by submitting a request for a review to the Administrator within sixty (60) days after the application is denied (or deemed denied).  The Administrator will give the applicant (or his or her representative) an opportunity to review pertinent documents in preparing a request for a review.  A request for a review will be in writing and will be addressed to:

The Administrator may require the applicant to submit additional facts, documents or other material as it may find necessary or appropriate in making its review.
(d)    Decision on Review.  The Administrator will act on each request for review within sixty (60) days after receipt of the request, unless special circumstances require an extension of time (not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days), for processing the request for a review.  If an extension for review is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the applicant within the initial sixty (60) day period.  The Administrator will give prompt, written notice of its decision to the applicant.  In the event that the Administrator confirms the denial of the application for benefits in whole or in part, the notice will outline, in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant, the specific Policy provisions upon which the decision is based.  If written notice of the Administrator’s decision is not given to the applicant within the time prescribed in this Section 13(d), the application will be deemed denied on review.

(e)    Rules and Procedures.  The Administrator will establish rules and procedures, consistent with the Policy and with ERISA, as necessary and appropriate in carrying out its responsibilities in reviewing benefit claims.  The Administrator may require an applicant who wishes to submit additional information in connection with an appeal from the denial (or deemed denial) of benefits to do so at the applicant’s own expense.
(f)     Exhaustion of Remedies. No legal action for benefits under the Policy may be brought until the claimant (i) has submitted a written application for benefits in accordance with the procedures described by Section 13(a) above, (ii) has been notified by the Administrator that the application is denied (or the application is deemed denied due to the Administrator’s failure to act on it within the established time period), (iii) has filed a written request for a review of the application in accordance with the appeal procedure described in Section 13(c) above and (iv) has been notified in writing that the Administrator has denied the appeal (or the appeal is deemed to be denied due to the Administrator’s failure to take any action on the claim within the time prescribed by Section 13(d) above).

SECTION 16
MISCELLANEOUS

(a)    Notice.  Any and all notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Policy shall be in writing and shall be effective when delivered in person, consigned to a reputable national courier service or deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified, and addressed to the Eligible Employee at his or her last known address on the books of the Company or, in the case of the Company, at its principal place of business, attention of the General Counsel or to such other address as any party may specify by notice to the other actually received.

(b)    No Waiver.  The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of the Policy on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver of such party’s rights or to deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of the Policy.

(c)    Severability.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions of the Policy shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect or to any degree, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Policy shall not be affected thereby.  The parties intend to give the terms of the Policy the fullest force and effect so that is any provision shall be found to be invalid or unenforceable, the court reaching such conclusion may modify or interpret such provision in a manner that shall carry out the parties’ intent and shall be valid and enforceable.
(d)    Headings.  The headings of the sections hereof are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof or to affect the meaning thereof.
(e)     Specific Performance. If in the opinion of any court of competent jurisdiction the covenants described in Section 7(b) and Section 8 of the Policy are not reasonable in any respect, such court shall have the right, power and authority to excise or modify such provision or provisions of this covenant as to the court shall appear not reasonable and to enforce the remainder of the covenant as so amended. Any breach of the covenants contained in Section 7(b) and Section 8 would irreparably injure the Company. Accordingly, the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 7(b) and Section 8 would be inadequate and, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, the Company may, without posting any bond, in addition to pursuing any other remedies it may have in law or in equity, obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available against the Eligible Employee from any court having jurisdiction over the matter, restraining any further violation of the Policy by the Eligible Employee. 
(f)    Creditor Status of Eligible Employees.  In the event that any Eligible Employee acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Policy such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
(g)    Facility of Payment.  If it shall be found that (i) an Eligible Employee entitled to receive any payment under the Policy is physically or mentally incompetent to receive such payment and to give a valid release therefor, and (ii) another person or an institution is then maintaining or has custody of such Eligible Employee, and no guardian, committee, or other representative of the estate of such person has been duly appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, the payment may be made to such other person or institution referred to in (ii) above, and the release shall be a valid and complete discharge for the payment.
(h)    Withholding Taxes.  The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under the Policy such federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

This letter, entered into as of February 20, 2013, and effective as of February 1, 2013 (the Effective Date), confirms the engagement of MAEVA Group, LLC (MAEVA, we or us) to provide advisory services to YRC Worldwide Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company or you). As set forth more fully below, MAEVA will advise the Company with regard to one or more potential value enhancing events, transactions and/or strategic initiatives involving the Company.
1.In addition to the general services identified above, MAEVA and the Company agree that MAEVA will provide financial advisory, analytical, consulting and/or other services on one or more specific transactions, refinancings, investments, restructurings, value enhancing events and/or strategic initiatives involving the Company, its assets and/or obligations (each, a Transaction and, collectively, the Project).  The terms and conditions of this letter shall apply to the Project unless otherwise mutually agreed. 
2.In addition to the general services MAEVA will provide to the Company the following services in connection with the Project: 
		
	a.
	Advise and assist the Company in its analysis and monitoring of the Company's historical, current and projected financial affairs, including as appropriate without limitation, periodic operating reports, analyses of cash receipts and disbursements, analyses of cash flow forecasts, analyses of various asset and liability accounts, and, to the extent applicable, schedules of assets and liabilities and statements of financial affairs, and analyses of potential transactions.

		
	b.
	Analyze the Company's business plan and help develop and provide advice with respect to potential transactions available to the Company.

		
	c.
	Analyze monthly monitoring reports provided by the Company to effectively evaluate the Company's performance on an ongoing basis.

		
	d.
	Assist the Company and its counsel in the negotiation of any and all aspects of any potential transaction.

		
	e.
	Attend Company meetings as may be required in the role of advisors to the Company.

	g.
	In addition to the services described in paragraphs (a) through (f) above, MAEVA will participate, at your request, in meetings and discussions between the Company, on the one hand, and various stakeholder constituencies and their respective professionals, on the other.

3.MAEVA's services are limited to those provided in this agreement.
4.MAEVA will submit its evaluations and analyses pursuant to this engagement in periodic oral and/or written reports at the Company's request, though written reports will be provided only if appropriate in MAEVA's reasonable judgment. No third party (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, your Board of Directors (the Board) or any committee thereof) shall be entitled to rely on any opinion or advice issued by MAEVA to the Company.
5.In order for us to perform our services hereunder, it will be necessary for our personnel to have access to certain books, records and reports of the Company, and have discussions with its personnel. We understand that we will have reasonable access to the Company's management, records and other data; limited access may restrict our ability to perform our services as described in this letter. Accordingly, we understand that you and your senior management have agreed to cooperate with our personnel, and to make available your personnel and any books, records and other sources from which data can be obtained.
6.The purpose of this engagement is for MAEVA to serve as a financial and strategic advisor to you. In order to provide the appropriate services to you, you will provide such assistance, cooperation and information as MAEVA reasonably requires. Likewise, we agree to make our personnel reasonably available to you and provide such information and status reports as you reasonably request.

7.You recognize and confirm that MAEVA: (a) will use and rely on information available from generally recognized public sources in performing services without having independently verified the same; (b) does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information; and (c) will not make an appraisal of any assets or liabilities of the Company or any of its market competitors.
8.Our reports will encompass only matters that come to our attention in the course of our work that we perceive to be significant in relation to the objectives of our engagement. Because of any time and scope limitations implicit in our engagement and the related limitations on the depth of our analyses and the extent of our verification of information, we may not discover all such matters or perceive their significance.  Accordingly, we will not provide assurances in our reports concerning the integrity of the information used in our analyses and on which our findings and advice to you may be based. We are not being requested to perform an audit nor to apply generally accepted auditing standards or procedures. We are entitled, in general, to rely on the accuracy and validity of the data obtained from generally recognized public sources or supplied to us by your employees and representatives. We will not, nor are we under any obligation to, update data submitted to us or review information relating to any topics outside the scope of our engagement hereunder unless you specifically request us to do so.
9.Our work will be performed on a level-of-effort basis that may, under the circumstances of our engagement on a particular Project, cause our advice to be limited in certain respects based upon, among other matters, the extent of sufficient and available data and the opportunity for supporting investigations within available time periods. We agree to keep you apprised of any such limitations.
10.We understand that you have agreed to treat any information received from us, whether orally or in writing, with the utmost confidentiality and, except as provided in this letter, will not publish, distribute or disclose in any manner any information developed by or received from us without our prior or written approval. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Our approval shall not be required if (a) the information is required to be disclosed by applicable law, regulation or legal process, the order of a court or administrative agency or lawful discovery demand, provided you give us written notice and a reasonable opportunity to obtain confidential treatment thereof, (b) such information is otherwise publicly available through no fault of the Company or its officers, members, managers, employees, contractors, agents, representatives or affiliates (Related Persons), or (c) the information is required to be disclosed by you under federal securities laws or regulations; provided however, that you will use reasonable efforts where possible to obtain our reasonable nonbinding comments on prospective public disclosures involving this engagement. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, we acknowledge that the existence of this letter may be publicly disclosed by you and that this letter may be filed by you with the SEC, which determination shall be made solely by you after consultation with your counsel. 
11.We acknowledge the confidentiality agreement, dated February 4, 2013, between MAEVA and the Company.  We agree to treat any and all information received from you, whether orally or in writing, with the utmost confidentiality and, except as provided in the confidentiality agreement, will not disclose in any manner any information received from you (including with regard to any prospective Project) to any party other than our personnel who have a need to know such information in connection with the performance of services under this engagement without your prior written approval, and shall not use any such information for any purpose other than our performance of such services. We and you shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of paragraphs 10 and 11, respectively, by obtaining specific or injunctive relief from a court, without the necessity of posting bond or proving lack of an adequate remedy at law, and without limitation of other remedies that may be available at law or in equity.
12.If access to any of the materials in our possession relating to this engagement is sought by a third party, we will promptly notify you of such action, tender to you our response to such request and cooperate with you concerning our response thereto, including but not limited to cooperation with any application for confidential treatment or a protective order against disclosure of any such information. If we are subpoenaed as the result of any work performed for you in connection with this engagement, you agree that you will compensate us for our time involved and reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred in responding to such a subpoena(s).
13.The initial term of this engagement shall commence on the Effective Date and, subject to paragraph 14(e), shall expire on December 31, 2013 (the Term), unless extended by mutual agreement or unless sooner terminated by you for any reason in your sole discretion upon 30 days' written notice to us and payment of any unpaid Minimum Retainer Fees and Expenses as described in paragraph 14. For the avoidance of doubt, the expiration date does not supersede or truncate the Tail Period as described in paragraph 14(e).
14.As compensation for the services rendered by MAEVA hereunder, you agree as follows:
		
	a.
	You shall pay MAEVA a monthly retainer fee of $250,000 (the Retainer Fee) payable in cash, commencing on February 1, 2013 and continuing on the first business day of each calendar month thereafter during the term of this engagement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate Retainer Fees payable to us hereunder be less than $1,000,000 (Minimum Retainer Fees), notwithstanding any expiration or termination of this engagement.

		
	b.
	You will, at all times, maintain a $250,000 deposit (Deposit) with us to cover any unpaid expenses. Any unused Deposit will be returned to you within 60 days after any expiration or termination of this agreement.

		
	c.
	You and we agree that we will receive a separate fee (Completion Fee) upon completion of any Transaction set forth in this agreement during the Term, in an amount equal to $5,500,000 in cash (the Completion Fee). It is understood and agreed that no more than one Completion Fee shall become payable under the terms of this agreement.

		
	d.
	You shall reimburse us for all reasonable and actual documented out-of-pocket expenses associated with this engagement, including but not limited to any reasonable legal fees and expenses of our attorneys (Expenses), provided that the Expenses shall not exceed $25,000 without your consent.

		
	e.
	If a Transaction in connection with which we provide any material services or advice is completed within 12 months after the expiration or termination of this agreement by you other than resulting from our fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or if a binding agreement in connection with such Transaction is executed by you within 12 months after such expiration or termination and such Transaction is completed by you not later than 18 months after such expiration or termination (the Tail Period), upon completion of such Transaction, you shall pay MAEVA the Completion Fee as if such Transaction were completed during our engagement.

15.We confirm that no Related Person of MAEVA has any financial interest or business connection with you (other than Harry J. Wilson's continuing service as a Director and his receipt of Director compensation), and we are aware of no other conflicts in connection with this engagement. We shall, in consultation with you, fully disclose this engagement to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (Teamsters) and obtain the Teamsters' approval of Mr. Wilson's continued service on the Board during the term of this engagement. We confirm that Mr. Wilson has disclosed to the Board his interest in this engagement.
16.During the term of this engagement, or at any time while in possession of material nonpublic information about you or any Project, neither Mr. Wilson nor any other Related Persons of MAEVA (whether individually or as a member of a group) shall purchase or sell any common stock of the Company or the common stock of any other organization which is the subject of any Project, make any tender offer for the Company's common stock, or solicit any proxy from any voting security holder of the Company, other than the solicitation of proxies by the Board in connection with annual stockholders meetings.
17.This agreement refers to and incorporates the indemnity agreement attached hereto as Schedule A.
18.Neither MAEVA, the Company nor any of their respective assignees or successors shall (a) seek a jury trial in any lawsuit, proceeding, counterclaim or any other action based upon, or arising out of or in connection with the Company's engagement of MAEVA or any services rendered pursuant to such engagement, or (b) seek to consolidate any such action with any other action in which a jury trial cannot be or has not been waived. The provisions of this paragraph have been fully discussed by you and us and these provisions shall be subject to no exceptions. Neither the Company nor MAEVA has agreed with or represented that the provisions of this section will not be fully enforced in all instances.
19.The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits itself and its properties in any legal action or proceedings relating to the Company's engagement of MAEVA or any services rendered pursuant to such engagement, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York, the Courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; (b) consents that any such action or proceedings may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Company at its address set forth above or at such other address of which MAEVA shall have been notified pursuant hereto; (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this paragraph any special, exemplary or punitive or consequential damages and (f) additionally agrees that under no circumstances shall we be liable for any claims or damages that exceed the aggregate amount of fees paid by the Company to MAEVA pursuant to this engagement, in the absence of our or any of our Related Persons' fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SCHEDULE A
This Schedule is attached to, and constitutes a material part of, that certain agreement (the Agreement) dated as of February 20, 2013, and effective as of February 1, 2013, between MAEVA Group, LLC (MAEVA) and YRC Worldwide Inc. (the Company). Unless otherwise noted, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.
As a material part of the consideration for the agreement of MAEVA to furnish its services under the Agreement, the Company agrees (i) to indemnify and hold harmless MAEVA and its affiliates, and their respective past, present and future Related Persons, advisors, subcontractors and controlling persons (each an Indemnified Party), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, (A) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the materials or any other information (whether written or oral) supplied to any third party by or on behalf of the Company or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (B) any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Company or an Indemnified Party with the consent of the Company in connection with the Agreement, or otherwise arising out of or relating to MAEVA's engagement under the Agreement, and (ii) to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) as they are incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing, defending, settling or compromising any action, suit, dispute, inquiry, investigation or proceeding, pending or threatened, brought by or against any person (including without limitation any shareholder or derivative action), arising out of or relating to the Agreement, or such engagement, transaction or actions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable for any loss, claim, damage or liability which is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence by or of such Indemnified Party.
The Company may assume the defense of any litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, including the employment of counsel and experts reasonably satisfactory to MAEVA and the payment of the fees and expenses of such counsel and experts, in which event, except as provided below, the Company shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of any other counsel or expert retained by any Indemnified Party in connection with such litigation or proceeding. In any such litigation or proceeding the defense of which the Company shall have so assumed, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such litigation or proceeding and to retain its own counsel and experts, but the fees and expenses of such counsel and experts shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Company and such Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed in writing to the retention of such counsel or experts, (ii) the Company shall have failed in a timely manner to assume the defense and employ counsel or experts reasonably satisfactory to MAEVA, in its sole discretion, in such litigation or proceeding, or (iii) the named parties to any such litigation or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include the Company and such Indemnified Party and representation of the Company and any Indemnified Party by the same counsel or experts would, in the reasonable opinion of MAEVA, be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the Company and any such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Company shall be responsible only for the payment of the reasonable fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of one law firm and one local counsel for all Indemnified Parties.  Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Company of such litigation or proceeding.
If for any reason the foregoing indemnification or reimbursement is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient fully to indemnify any such party or to hold it harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in such indemnification or reimbursement provisions (in each case other than as a result of fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence by or of such Indemnified Party), then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and MAEVA, on the other hand, in connection with the matters contemplated by the Agreement. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then the Company shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by any Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits, but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection therewith, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Indemnified Parties be required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of the amount of fees actually received by MAEVA from the Company pursuant to the Agreement. Relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and MAEVA, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the total value paid or received or contemplated to be paid or received by the Company, and its security holders, creditors, and other affiliates, as the case may be, pursuant to the transaction(s) (whether or not consummated) contemplated by the engagement hereunder, bears to (ii) the fees received by MAEVA under the Agreement. Neither the Company nor MAEVA shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any 

pending or threatened action, suit, dispute, inquiry, investigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not an Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination contains a release of the Indemnified Parties reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to MAEVA or a release of the Company reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, as the case may be.
The Company further agrees that neither MAEVA nor any other Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect and regardless of the legal theory advanced) to the Company or any person or entity asserting claims on behalf of or in light of the Company related to or arising out of MAEVA's engagement under the Agreement, any transaction or proposed transaction, or any actions taken or omitted to be taken by an Indemnified Party or the Company in connection with the Agreement, except for losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred by the Company which are finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence by or of such Indemnified Party. The indemnity, reimbursement, and other obligations and agreements of the Company set forth herein (i) shall apply to any services provided by MAEVA in connection with this engagement prior to the date hereof and to any modifications of the Agreement, (ii) shall be in addition to any obligation or liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Party, (iii) shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any Indemnified Party or any person controlling any of them, and (iv) shall survive the completion of the services described in, and any expiration or termination of the relationship established by, the Agreement.
