Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 22, 2009, YRC Worldwide Inc. (the Company), as Performance Guarantor, and the parties to the Third Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 18, 2008 (as amended, the ABS Facility), among Yellow Roadway Receivables Funding Corporation, as Seller; Falcon Asset Securitization Company LLC, Three Pillars Funding LLC and Amsterdam Funding Corporation, as Conduits; the financial institutions party thereto, as Committed Purchasers; Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Wachovia Agent and LC Issuer, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as Three Pillars Agent; The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (successor to ABN AMRO Bank N.V.), as Amsterdam Agent; and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Falcon Agent (which, together with the Wachovia Agent, the Three Pillars Agent and the Amsterdam Agent, are referred to as the Co-Agents) and Administrative Agent entered into an amendment to the ABS Facility (the ABS Amendment).
The ABS Amendment amends certain calculations under the ABS Facility to reduce the impact of certain negative effects that the integration of Yellow Transportation and Roadway has had on those calculations, due to rating adjustments and the timing of customer payments. As a result of the ABS Amendment, the obligation to repay outstanding amounts under the ABS Facility due to those integration effects will be reduced or eliminated. The Co-Agents have completed preliminary work to verify the related integration adjustments; however, further substantiation by the Co-Agents as part of their annual audit of the ABS Facility is required pursuant to the ABS Amendment.
In addition, the Co-Agents suspended the due date until October 13, 2009 of the $10.0 million fee that was originally due on September 30, 2009. This fee will be payable to the Co-Agents under the ABS Facility if the ABS Facility has not been terminated by October 13, 2009 and the Company does not have a corporate credit rating of B/B2 or better from Standard & Poors and Moodys Investors Service, Inc., respectively, by such date.
