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 the Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent have agreed to such waivers 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 Waiver.

1. Waivers.

(b) The Company has requested that the Lenders waive any Default or Event of Default which has arisen or may arise under clause (d) of Article VII of the Credit Agreement as a result of the Borrower’s failure to comply with the financial covenants contained in Sections 6.07(a) and 6.07(b) of the Credit Agreement with respect to the fiscal year of the Company ending on or about December 31, 2008 (such failure, the “Financial Covenant Defaults”).

(c)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 the Payment Event of Default, the Financial Covenant Defaults and/or the Cross Default (as defined below) or related to the Representation Waivers (as defined below) (such failure, the “Representation Default”).

(d) The Company has requested that the Lenders waive any Default or Event of Default arising under clause (g) 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 Payment Event of Default, the Financial Covenant Defaults and/or the Representation Default (such cross default, the “Cross Default” and together with the Payment Event of Default, the Financial Covenant Defaults and the Representation Default, the “Specified Defaults”).

(e) The Company has requested that the Lenders waive the provisions of Section 3.04(b) of the Credit Agreement (other than any representation or warranty of the provisions of Section 3.04(b) of the Credit Agreement made after the date of this Waiver solely for the period commencing on September 30, 2008) in respect of any representations or warranties made or deemed made by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Subsidiary prior to, on or after the date hereof in connection with any Loan Document or in any report, certificate or other document furnished pursuant to or in connection with any Loan Document (such limited waiver, the “3.04(b) Representation Waiver”).

(f) The Company has requested that the Lenders waive the provisions of Section 3.07 of the Credit Agreement solely in connection with (i) that certain Master Lease Agreement, dated as of January 17, 2008, by and among RBS Asset Finance, any other lessors or creditors thereunder from time to time party thereto and certain of the Loan Parties, including all exhibits, schedules, annexes and assignments in respect thereof (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively, the “RBS Lease”) and (ii) that certain Master Equipment Lease Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2001, by and among Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC, any other lessors or creditors thereunder from time to time party thereto and certain of the Loan Parties, including all exhibits, schedules, annexes and assignments in respect thereof (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively, the “BofA Lease”), in respect of any representations or warranties made or deemed made by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Subsidiary prior to, on or after the date hereof in connection with any Loan Document or in any report, certificate or other document furnished pursuant to or in connection with any Loan Document (such limited waiver, the “3.07 Representation Waiver”; and together with the 3.04(b) Representation Waiver, the “Representation Waivers”).

(g) The Company has requested that the Lenders waive the provisions of Section 2.12(e) of the Credit Agreement solely in respect of the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries from the consummation of the Specified Sale and Leaseback Transaction; provided that such waiver shall only apply to the Net Cash Proceeds of the Specified Sale and Leaseback Transaction and shall in no event apply to any such Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $150,000,000 (such waiver, the “Specified Prepayment Waiver”).

(h) As used in this Waiver, the “Specified Sale and Leaseback Transaction” means the sale and simultaneous lease back of approximately thirty-two operating warehouse facilities owned by the Company and located throughout the United States pursuant to the terms of that certain Real Estate Sales Contract dated December 19, 2008 by NATMI Truck Terminals, LLC and the Company, as in effect on the date hereof and without giving effect to any amendment, waiver or other modification thereto which is in any manner adverse to any Lender (including, without limitation, in respect of the purchase price thereunder, the number of parcels of real estate subject thereto and the interest rate in respect of the obligations thereunder).

(k) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 below, the Lenders party hereto hereby: (i) waive the Specified Defaults and (ii) agree to the Specified Prepayment Waiver and the Representation Waivers, in each case from the date hereof to and including the Waiver Termination Date after which date all such waivers and agreements shall terminate, expire and become null and void with no further effect.

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. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law as a result of the Specified Payment Event of Default or the Financial Covenant Defaults are hereby reserved on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders following the expiration of this Waiver.

2. Further Agreements. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the date hereof:

(a) the Company shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of no more than two counsel, and one additional local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, for the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, in connection with the administration of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of no more than two counsel, and one additional local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, for the Agents, the Issuing Bank(s) and the Lenders, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with any Loan Document, including its rights under Section 11.03(a) of the Credit Agreement, or in connection with the Loans made, Acceptances accepted or Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans, Acceptances or Letters of Credit.

(b) the Company shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all invoiced reasonable fees, charges, disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses of any financial advisor firm engaged by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion in connection with the Credit Agreement in the same manner as set forth in Section 11.03(a) and (e) of the Credit Agreement;

(d) the parties hereto agree that, from and after the date hereof, the Company shall have no right to request any increase of the Commitments or additional Commitments or Loans under Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement; and

(e) the terms and conditions of this Section 2 shall survive the termination of this Waiver and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, the Acceptances and the Commitments or the termination of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision thereof.

3. Conditions of Effectiveness. The effectiveness of this Waiver is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent that (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) counterparts of this Waiver 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) evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that, on or prior to the date hereof, a waiver of similar substance to this Waiver has been entered into in respect the Yellow Receivables Facility (subject only to effectiveness of this Waiver), (b) the Company shall have paid all fees and invoiced reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, to the extent invoiced, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of up to two counsel) in connection with this Waiver and the other Loan Documents, (c) the Company shall have engaged the Vehicle Title Custodian, on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as the service provider to perfect the liens on (and monitor the ongoing status of and services related thereto) the rolling stock owned by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and (d) the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender which delivers its executed signature page hereto by such time as is requested by the Administrative Agent, a waiver fee equal to 0.50% of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and the amount of such Lender’s outstanding Term Loans.

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

(a) This Waiver and the Credit Agreement, as modified 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 and giving effect to the terms of this Waiver, (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 modified 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.

(b) Except as specified 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) Except as specified above, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Waiver 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. Governing Law. This Waiver shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
