Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 14, 2009, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 8 to the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), which amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2007 (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the other lenders that are parties thereto. The Credit Agreement continues to provide the Company with a $950 million senior revolving credit facility, including sublimits available for borrowings under certain foreign currencies and for letters of credit, and a senior term loan in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of approximately $111.5 million.

Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement Amendment, the date upon which the revolving commitments would be permanently reduced by an amount equal to the then current revolver reserve amount was amended to 12:00 a.m., August 1, 2009. The revolver reserve amount is an amount equal to 50 percent of the total net cash proceeds from any real estate asset sale occurring between January 1, 2009 and July 31, 2009 (other than (i) the sale and lease back transaction with NATMI Truck Terminals, LLC and (ii) the sale of real estate subject to a first lien security interest for the benefit of Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund and such other pension funds a party to the Contribution Deferral Agreement, dated as of June 17, 2009, among such funds, certain subsidiaries of the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as agent). The total amount of the revolver reserve amount may not exceed $150 million.

Until August 1, 2009, the Company may only borrow funds or request the issuance of letters of credit from the revolver reserve amount under the Credit Agreement with the approval of lenders with at least two-thirds of the aggregate revolving loan and term loan exposure and unused commitments. However, the Company may continue to borrow funds and request the issuance of letters of credit under the Credit Agreement (excluding the revolver reserve amount) without lender approval to the extent that the Company’s Permitted Investments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) are less than $150 million.

A copy of the news release announcing the Credit Agreement Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 14, 2009, the Company announced details of a proposed modification (the “Revised Plan”) to the National Master Freight Agreement, effective April 1, 2008 through March 31, 2013 (the “NMFA”), between each of YRC Inc., USF Holland Inc. and New Penn Motor Express, Inc. and certain classes of their respective employees (including drivers, dockworkers and others) represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
