MULTI-EMPLOYER PENSION PLANS
"
Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Required contractual contributions anticipated to be an
average of $2.22 per hour in 2018(a).
2018 cash contributions to be approximately
$105 million (a).
Expense included in EBITDA.
■ Not impacted by changes in interest rates.
Contributions are made to 32 multi-employer pension plans
with various levels of underfunding.
■ Pension plans are managed by independent
trustees.
If the Company were to withdraw from or there was a
termination of all of the multi-employer pension plans, the
Company's portion of the contingent liability would be an
estimated $9 billion.
■ However...YRC Worldwide has, and expects to continue,
making its required contractual contributions to the multi-
employer pension plans thus SIGNIFICANTLY minimizing
the potential of any material contingent liability becoming
due.

Additionally, to our knowledge, there are no regulations
that would change our average per hour contribution for the
remaining term of the Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) as that is contractually agreed to by and between the
Company and the individual funds nor are we aware of any
regulations that would materially change the status or
amount of our contingent liability. As long as we continue
to pay what is contractually agreed to, there should be no
issue.
(a) The estimated contribution amount is subject to potential increases under the 2014 MOU Extension Agreement if the Company's health and welfare contributions made to
maintain the current level of health and welfare benefits are less than the health and welfare contribution amounts already negotiated.
