Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Delaware Law

YRC Worldwide Inc. (the “Company”), and registrants YRC Enterprise Services, Inc. (“YRC Enterprise”), YRC Regional Transportation, Inc. (“YRC Regional”), USF Sales Corporation (“USF Sales”), YRC Association Solutions, Inc. (“YRC Association”), Express Lane Service, Inc. (“Express Lane”), YRC International Investments, Inc. (“YRC International”), Roadway Express International, Inc. (“Roadway Express”), USF Canada Inc. (“USF Canada”), USF Mexico Inc. (“USF Mexico”) and USFreightways Corporation (“US Freightways”), are all incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.

The Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of each of the Company, YRC Enterprise, YRC Regional, USF Sales, YRC Association, Express Lane, USF Canada, USF Mexico and USFreightways provides that such registrant’s directors shall not be personally liable to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Certificate of Incorporation of YRC International provides that such registrant’s directors shall not be personally liable to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or may be amended. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of each of the Company, YRC Regional, USF Sales, YRC Association, Express Lane and USFreightways also provide that if the DGCL is amended to permit further elimination or limitation of the personal liability of the directors, then the liability of such registrant’s directors shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

The Bylaws of each of the Company, YRC Enterprise, YRC Regional, USF Sales, YRC Association, Express Lane, YRC International, Roadway Express, USF Canada, USF Mexico and USFreightways, and DGCL Section 145 together provide that such registrants shall indemnify its present or former directors and officers, as well as other employees and may indemnify other individuals (each an “Indemnified Party”, and collectively, “Indemnified Parties”), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than in connection with actions by or in the right of the Company (a “derivative action”), if

 

II-1


an Indemnified Party acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnified Party reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the registrant’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; and to the extent that a present or former director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that each registrant may only indemnify an Indemnified Party for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such derivative action. Additionally, in the context of a derivative action, DGCL Section 145 requires a court approval before there can be any indemnification where an Indemnified Party has been found liable to the applicable registrant. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification arrangements that may be granted pursuant to a corporation’s charter, bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

The Company maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance against any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect or breach of duty by any director or officer, excluding certain maters including fraudulent, dishonest or criminal acts or self-dealing. The Company also maintains an employed lawyers’ insurance policy for employees (including officers) that are licensed to practice law (“counsel”).

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with certain of its directors, officers, and counsel. Under the indemnification agreements, the Company agreed to indemnify each indemnified party, subject to certain limitations, to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law against all litigation costs, including attorneys fees and expenses, and losses, in connection with any proceeding to which the indemnified party is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that the indemnified party is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another entity related to the business of the Company. The indemnification agreements also provide (i) for the advancement of expenses by the Company, subject to certain conditions, (ii) a procedure for determining an indemnified party’s entitlement to indemnification and (iii) for certain remedies for the indemnified party. In addition, the indemnification agreements require the Company to cover the indemnified party under any directors’ and officers’ insurance policy or, with respect to counsel, under any employed lawyers insurance policy, maintained by the Company.

Roadway LLC (“Roadway”), USF RedStar LLC (“USF RedStar”) and YRC Mortgages, LLC (“YRC Mortgages”) are each organized as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act provides that a limited liability company, subject to any standards and restrictions in its limited liability company agreement, may indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands. The limited liability company agreement of each of Roadway, USF RedStar and YRC Mortgages provides that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the company shall indemnify any person who is or was a manager or member of the company, or who is or was serving at the request of the company as a manager, director or office of any other enterprise against reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and other liabilities actually incurred in connection with such action.

Pennsylvania Law

Roadway Next Day Corporation (“Roadway”), USF Glen Moore Inc. (“Glen Moore”) and New Penn Motor Express, Inc. (“New Penn”) are incorporated under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. Subchapter D of Chapter 17 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended, provides that a business corporation has the power under certain circumstances to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against certain expenses incurred by them in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding and provides for mandatory indemnification under certain circumstances when the indemnified person has been successful in defense of a claim.

 

II-2


The Bylaws of Roadway provide that Roadway shall indemnify Indemnified Parties, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than in connection with a derivative action, if an Indemnified Party acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnified Party reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to Roadway’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; and to the extent that a present or former director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that each registrant may only indemnify an Indemnified Party for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such derivative action.

The Bylaws of each of Glen Moore and New Penn provide that the company shall indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, any and all directors and officers of the corporation and any other person designated by the board against any liability incurred in connection with any proceeding in which such person is involved by fact of serving in the capacity of director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or at the request of the company, as a director, officer, employee agent, fiduciary or trustee of another enterprise, except where the conduct has been finally determined (i) to constitute willful misconduct of recklessness, (ii) to be attributable to the receipt by such indemnified party of a benefit to which it is not legally entitled or (iii) otherwise adjudicated to be unlawful.

Michigan Law

USF Holland Inc. (“Holland”) is incorporated under the laws of the State of Michigan. Under Sections 561-571 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act, directors and officers of a Michigan corporation may be entitled to indemnification by the corporation against judgments, expenses, fines and amounts paid by the director or officer in settlement of claims brought against them by third persons or by or in the right of the corporation if those directors and officers acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders. The Bylaws of Holland provide that Holland shall indemnify Indemnified Parties, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than in connection with a derivative action, if an Indemnified Party acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnified Party reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to Holland’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; and to the extent that a present or former director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that each registrant may only indemnify an Indemnified Party for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such derivative action.

Oregon Law

USF Reddaway Inc. (“Reddaway”) is incorporated under the laws of the State of Oregon. The Oregon Business Corporation Act (the “OBCA”) permits a corporation to include in its articles of incorporation a provision indemnifying a director if (i) the conduct of the individual was in good faith; (ii) the individual reasonably believed that the individual’s conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, or at least not opposed to its best interests; and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the individual’s conduct was unlawful. In addition, the OBCA provides that, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party because of being a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceedings. Reddaway’s articles of incorporation do not limit such right of indemnification.

 

II-3


Illinois Law

YRC Logistics Services, Inc. (“Logistics”) and USF Technology Services Inc. (“USF Technology”) are each incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois. Under Section 8.75 of the Illinois Business Corporation Act of 1983, Logistics and USF Technology are empowered, subject to the procedures and limitations stated therein, to indemnify any person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened action (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) to which such person is made a party or threatened to be made a party by reason of his being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of Logistics or USF Technology, or serving or having served at the request of Logistics or USF Technology as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise. Section 8.75 further provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, and that such indemnification shall continue as to a director, officer, employee or agent of Logistics or USF Technology who has ceased to serve in such capacity, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The Bylaws of Logistics provide that Logistics shall indemnify Indemnified Parties, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than in connection with a derivative action, if an Indemnified Party acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnified Party reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to Logistics’ best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; and to the extent that a present or former director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that each registrant may only indemnify an Indemnified Party for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such derivative action.

Hawaii Law

IMUA Handling Corporation (“IMUA”) is incorporated under the laws of the State of Hawaii. The Certificate of Incorporation of IMUA provides that directors shall not be personally liable to IMUA for any actions brought by shareholders or the corporation for monetary damages except for: (i) personal benefit received by a director to which the director is not entitled, (ii) an intentional inflection of harm on the corporation or the shareholders, (iii) a violation of Section 414-223 of the Hawaii Revised States (“HSR”) or (iv) an intentional violation of criminal law.

Pursuant to Section 414-242 of the HSR and resolutions adopted by the board of IMUA, IMUA indemnifies its officers and directors to the full extent permitted by law if (i) the conduct of the individual was in good faith; (ii) the individual reasonably believed that the individual’s conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, or at least not opposed to its best interests; and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the individual’s conduct was unlawful. Subject to the same exceptions, IMUA shall indemnify its officers and directors in any derivative action, except where the officer or director received a financial benefit to which it was not entitled. In addition, in accordance with resolutions of the board of IMUA and Section 414-223 of the HSR provides that, IMUA shall indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party because of being a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceedings.

Kansas Law

USF Dugan Inc. (“USF Dugan”) is incorporated under the laws of the State of Kansas. Section 17-6305 of the Kansas General Corporation Law authorizes a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure

 

II-4


a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with such action, including attorney’s fees, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no indemnification is permitted in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless otherwise determined by the court in which such proceeding is pending. A Kansas corporation may also indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, including attorney’s fees, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

The Bylaws of USF Dugan provide that USF Dugan shall indemnify Indemnified Parties, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than in connection with a derivative action, if an Indemnified Party acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnified Party reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to USF Dugan’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; and to the extent that a present or former director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that each registrant may only indemnify an Indemnified Party for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such derivative action.

Ohio Law

Roadway Reverse Logistics, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio. Section 1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code gives a corporation incorporated under the laws of Ohio authority to indemnify or agree to indemnify its directors and officers against certain liabilities they may incur in such capacities in connection with criminal or civil suits or proceedings, other than an action brought by or in the right of the corporation, provided that the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner that the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, the corporation may indemnify or agree to indemnify its directors and officers against certain liabilities they may incur in such capacities, provided that the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner that the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that an indemnification shall not be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which (a) the person is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of their duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court of common pleas or the court in which the action or suit was brought determines, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for expenses that the court considers proper or (b) any action or suit in which the only liability asserted against a director is pursuant to Section 1701.95 of the Ohio Revised Code.

 

II-5


Arizona Law

USF Bestway Inc. (“USF Bestway”) is incorporated under the laws of the State of Arizona. Section 10-851 of the Arizona Revised Statutes authorizes a corporation to indemnify a director made a party to a proceeding in such capacity, provided that the individual’s conduct was in good faith and, when serving in an official capacity with the corporation, the individual reasonably believed that the conduct was in best interests of the corporation, or in all other cases, that the conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests. In the case of any criminal proceedings, indemnification is allowed if the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. A corporation may also indemnify a director for conduct for which broader indemnification has been made permissible or obligatory under a provision of the articles of incorporation pursuant to Section 10-202, subsection B, paragraph 2. Section 10-851 also provides that a corporation may not indemnify a director in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or in connection with any other proceeding charging improper financial benefit to the director in which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that financial benefit was improperly received by the director. Indemnification permitted under Section 10-851 in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

Unless otherwise limited by its articles of incorporation, Section 10-852 of the Arizona Revised Statutes requires a corporation to indemnify (i) a director who was the prevailing party, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party because the director is or was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding, and (ii) an outside director, provided the proceeding is not one by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation, or one charging improper financial benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in the director’s official capacity, in which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that financial benefit was improperly received by the director. Section 10-856 of the Arizona Revised Statutes provides that a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was an officer of the corporation to the same extent as a director.

The Articles of Incorporation of USF Bestway provide that USF Bestway shall indemnify any and all of its existing and former directors, officers, employees and agents against any and all expenses incurred, including but not limited to legal fees, judgments, penalties and amounts paid in compromise and settlement, which may arise or be incurred, rendered or levied in any legal action brought against them for or on account of any act or omission alleged to have been committed while acting within the scope of employment as director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, whether or not any action is or has been filed against them and whether or not any settlement or compromise is approved by a court, upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the party to be indemnified has met satisfactory standards of conduct appropriate in the circumstances. No such indemnification is available with respect to liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 or comparable Arizona statutes, and USF Bestway has the right to refuse to indemnify in any instance in which the person to whom indemnification would otherwise have been applicable has unreasonably refused to permit the corporation, at its own expense and through counsel of its own choosing, to defend him or her in the action.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On February 23, 2010 the Company sold $49.8 million in aggregated principal amount of its 6% convertible notes due 2014. On August 3, 2010 the Company sold an additional $20.2 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6% convertible notes due 2014. The offers, sales and issuances of these securities were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since each such transaction did not involve a public offering. In that regard, each purchaser of these securities represented to the Company in connection with such offer and sale that it was an “Accredited Investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act and that it was acquiring such securities in these transactions for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof.

Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

A list of exhibits filed with this Registration Statement on Form S-1 is set forth on the Exhibit Index and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 17. Undertakings

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

For purposes of our opinion that the Initial Guarantees will be valid and binding obligations of the Guarantors and that the Additional Guarantees, when duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Guarantors in accordance with the Transaction Documents, will be valid and binding obligations of the Guarantors, we have, without conducting any research or investigation with respect thereto, relied on the opinions of: (i) Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, with respect to Roadway Next Day Corporation, USF Glen Moore Inc. and New Penn Motor Express, Inc., each a Pennsylvania corporation, (ii) Clark Hill PLC, with respect to USF Holland Inc., a Michigan corporation, (iii) Stoel Rives LLP, with respect to USF Reddaway Inc., an Oregon corporation, (iv) Kobayashi, Sugita & Goda, with respect to IMUA Handling Corporation, a Hawaii corporation, (v) Husch Blackwell LLP, with respect to USF Dugan Inc., a Kansas corporation, (vi) Snell & Wilmer L.L.P., with respect to USF Bestway Inc., an Arizona corporation, and (vii) Baker & Hostetler LLP, with respect to Roadway Reverse Logistics, Inc., an Ohio corporation, that such Guarantors have the requisite corporate power and authority to perform their respect obligations under the Indentures and the applicable Guarantees and that such Guarantees do not conflict with, or require consents under the laws of the Guarantors’ respective states of organization. We are not licensed to practice in any of these states.

We express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of: (i) consents to, or restrictions upon, judicial relief or jurisdiction or venue; (ii) waivers of rights or defenses with respect to stay, extension or usury laws; (iii) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights; (iv) waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights; (v) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies; (vi) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations; (vii) grants of setoff rights; (viii) provisions for the payment of attorneys’ fees where such payment is contrary to law or public policy; (ix) proxies, powers and trusts; (x) restrictions upon non-written modifications and waivers; (xi) provisions prohibiting, restricting, or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any right or property; (xii) any provision to the extent it requires any party to indemnify any other person against loss in obtaining the currency due following a court judgment in another currency; and (xiii) provisions for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty.

To the extent that the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the Indentures may be dependent on such matters, we assume for purposes of this opinion that the Trustee is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; that the Trustee is duly qualified to engage in the activities contemplated by the Indentures; that the Indentures will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee and will constitute the legally valid and binding obligations of the Trustee, enforceable against

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

We do not find it necessary for the purposes of this opinion, and accordingly we do not purport to cover herein, the application of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the various states to the sale of the Securities.

This opinion is limited to the specific issues addressed herein, and no opinion may be inferred or implied beyond that expressly stated herein. This opinion is limited to the laws, including the Rules, as in effect on the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act, which laws are subject to change with possible retroactive effect. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion should the present federal securities laws of the United States, laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware or the Illinois Business Corporation Act of 1983 be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are issuing this opinion letter in our capacity as special counsel to Imua Handling Corporation, a Hawaii corporation (the “Guarantor”), in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as amended or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”) (Registration No. 333-176971) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 23, 2011, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by YRC Worldwide Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Guarantor and the other guarantors named therein (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Registration Statement relates to the registration of $14,993,612.00 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10% Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Series A Notes”) and $6,502,414.00 in aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes paid-in-kind in respect of interest on the Series A Notes (the “Additional Series A Notes”), $13,401,338.00 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10% Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Series B Notes” and together with the Series A Notes, the “Initial Notes”) and $5,811,879.00 in aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes paid-in-kind in respect to interest or make whole premium on the Series B Notes (the “Additional Series B Notes” and together with the Additional Series A Notes, the “Additional Notes”, and the Additional Notes together with the Initial Notes, the “Notes”), 161,339,531 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Issued Common Shares”), 500,642,286 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Issuable Common Shares) issuable in respect of the Notes and the guarantees of the Guarantors with respect to the Notes (collectively, the “Guarantees” and together with the Notes, the Issued Common Shares, and the Issuable Common Shares, the “Securities”), as described in the Registration Statement.

The Series A Notes and Guarantees in respect to the Series A Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Series A Indenture”), dated as of July 22, 2011, by and among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the Series B Notes and Guarantees in respect of the Series B Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated July 22, 2011, by and among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee (the “Series B Indenture” and together with the Series A Indenture, the “Indentures”), and the Issued Common Shares were issued upon the automatic conversion of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on September 16, 2011 pursuant to a certificate of designations for such Series B Convertible Stock (the “Certificate of Designations” and together with the Indentures, the “Transaction Documents”) filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on July 22, 2011 .

In connection with the registration of the Securities, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion, including: (i) the organizational documents of the Guarantor, (ii) minutes and records of the corporate proceedings of the Guarantor, (iii) the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto, (iv) the Transaction Documents and (v) the Notes and the Guarantee of the Guarantor in respect to the Notes (the “Guarantee”).

Further, we have reviewed and examined the Certificate of Good Standing for the Guarantor dated November 7, 2011, issued and certified by the Director of Commerce and Consumer Affairs of the State of Hawaii on such date (the “Certificate of Good Standing”), and have made such legal and factual examinations and have made such inquiries and examined such other documents as deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

In addition, we have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records, certificates of public officials and other documents and instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all documents in connection with which this opinion is rendered, the authority of such persons signing on behalf of the parties thereto other than the Guarantor and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than the Guarantor.

  1. The Guarantor is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and, based solely on the Certificate of Good Standing, in good standing under the laws of the State of Hawaii.

 

  2. The Guarantor has the corporate power to enter into and perform its obligations under the Indentures and the Guarantee.

 

  3. The execution and delivery of the Indenture sand the Guarantee by the Guarantor and the performance by the Guarantor of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action.

 

  4.

The Securities may be sold from time to time by the holders thereof as contemplated by the Regulation Statement, and this opinion is limited to the laws, including the rules and regulations, of the State of Hawaii as in effect on the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act, which laws are subject to change with possible retroactive effect. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion should the present laws of the State of Hawaii be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and will be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as Michigan counsel to USF Holland Inc., a Michigan corporation (the “Guarantor”), regarding certain matters in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as amended or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 23 2011, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by YRC Worldwide Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Guarantor and the other guarantors named therein (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Registration Statement relates to the resale of $14,993,612 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10% Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Series A Notes”) and $6,502,414 in aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes paid-in-kind in respect of interest on the Series A Notes (the “Additional Series A Notes”), $13,401,338 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10% Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Series B Notes” and together with the Series A Notes, the “Initial Notes”) and $5,811,879 in aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes paid-in-kind in respect of interest or make whole premium on the Series B Notes (the “Additional Series B Notes” and together with the Additional Series A Notes, the “Additional Notes”, the Additional Notes together with the Initial Notes, the “Notes”), 161,339,531 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), and the guarantees of the Guarantors with respect to the Series A Notes, the Additional Series A Notes, the Series B Notes and the Additional Series B Notes (collectively, the “Guarantees” and together with the Series A Notes, the Additional Series A Notes, the Series B Notes, the Additional Series B Notes, and the Common Shares, the “Securities”), as described in the Registration Statement.

The execution and delivery of the Guarantees by Guarantor did not, and the performance by Guarantor of its obligations thereunder will not, conflict with or constitute or result in a breach or default under (or an event which with notice of the passage of time or both would constitute a default under) or result in the creation of a lien or encumbrance under or violation of any of (i) the Organization Documents, or (ii) any law, rule or regulation of the State.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-176971)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are issuing this opinion letter in our capacity as special counsel to USF Reddaway Inc., an Oregon corporation (the “Guarantor”), in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-176971) (as amended or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”).

You have advised us as follows:

(a) That the Registration Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by YRC Worldwide Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Guarantor and certain other guarantors named therein (collectively, the “Guarantors”).

(b) The Registration Statement relates to the registration of $14,993,612 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10% Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Series A Notes”) and $6,502,414 in aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes paid-in-kind in respect of interest on the Series A Notes (the “Additional Series A Notes”), $13,401,338 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10% Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Series B Notes” and together with the Series A Notes, the “Initial Notes”) and $5,811,879 in aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes paid-in-kind in respect of interest or make whole premium on the Series B Notes (the “Additional Series B Notes” and together with the Additional Series A Notes, the “Additional Notes”, the Additional Notes together with the Initial Notes, the “Notes”), 161,339,531 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Issued Common Shares”), 500,642,286 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Issuable Common Shares”) issuable in respect of the Notes and the guarantees of the Guarantors with respect to the Notes (collectively, the “Guarantees” and together with the Notes, the Issued Common Shares, and the Issuable Common Shares, the “Securities”), as described in the Registration Statement.


USF Reddaway Inc.

(c) The Series A Notes and the Guarantees in respect of the Series A Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Series A Indenture”) dated as of July 22, 2011, by and among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the Series B Notes and the Guarantees in respect of the Series B Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of July 22, 2011, by and among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee (the “Series B Indenture” and together with the Series A Indenture, the “Indentures”), and the Issued Common Shares were issued upon the automatic conversion of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on September 16, 2011, pursuant to a certificate of designations for such Series B Convertible Preferred Stock filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on July 22, 2011.

In connection with the registration of the Guarantees, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion, including: (a) a Certificate dated October 21, 2011, from the Corporation Division of the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Oregon as to the active status of the Guarantor, (b) the organizational documents of the Guarantor, (c) minutes and records of the corporate proceedings of the Guarantor, (d) the executed Indentures, which constitute the Guarantees, and (e) the executed Global Securities (as defined in the Indentures) representing the Notes.

For purposes of this opinion, in addition to the foregoing, which we have assumed is correct, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all documents in connection with which this opinion is rendered, the authority of such persons signing on behalf of the parties thereto (other than the Guarantor) and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto (other than the Guarantor). We have not independently investigated, established or verified any facts relevant to the opinion expressed herein, but have relied upon statements and representations of the officers and other representatives of the Company and the Guarantor.

We have also assumed that:

(i) the Registration Statement will be effective at the time the Securities are offered as contemplated by the Registration Statement;

(ii) any applicable prospectus supplement will have been prepared and filed with the Commission describing the Securities offered thereby to the extent necessary;


USF Reddaway Inc.

(iii) all Securities will be offered and sold in the manner stated in the Registration Statement or any applicable prospectus supplement and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws;

The Series A Notes and Guarantees in respect of the Series A Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of July 22, 2011 (the “Series A Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the Series B Notes and Guarantees in respect of the Series B Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of July 22, 2011 (the “Series B Indenture” and together with the Series A Indenture, the “Indentures”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee , and the Issued Common Shares were issued upon the automatic conversion of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on September 16, 2011 pursuant to a certificate of designations for such Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations,” and together with the Indentures, the “Transaction Documents”) filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on July 22, 2011.

In connection with the registration of the offering of the Securities by the Company, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion, including: (i) the organizational documents of the Pennsylvania Guarantors, (ii) minutes and records of the corporate proceedings of the Pennsylvania Guarantors, (iii) the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto, (iv) executed copies of the Transaction Documents, (v) executed copies of the Notes and Guarantees, and (vi) such other documents and records, and other instruments as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of the opinions set forth here.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, facsimile or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have been retained as special Kansas counsel for USF Dugan Inc., a Kansas corporation (the “Guarantor”), in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as amended or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 23, 2011, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by YRC Worldwide Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and certain of its subsidiaries, including the Guarantor. The Registration Statement relates, among other things, to the registration of $14,993,612 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10% Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Series A Notes”), and $6,502,414 in aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes paid in kind in respect of interest on the Series A Notes (the “Additional Series A Notes”), $13,401,338 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10% Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Series B Notes” and together with the Series A Note, the “Initial Notes) and $5,811,879 in aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes paid in kind in respect of interest or make whole premium on the Series B Notes (the “Additional Series B Notes” and together with the Additional Series A Notes, the “Additional Notes,” and the Additional Notes together with the Initial Notes, the “Notes”), and the guarantees of the Series A Notes, which guarantees are contained in Article XII of the Series A Indenture (defined below) and guarantees of the Series B Notes, which guarantees are contained in Article XII of the Series B Indenture (defined below) by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, including the Guarantor (collectively, the “Guarantees”). The Series A Notes and the Guarantees in respect of the Series A Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Series A Indenture”) dated as of July 22, 2011 (the “Closing Date”) by and among the Company, the guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and the Series B Notes and the Guarantees in


November 7, 2011

respect of the Series B Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of the Closing Date by and among the Company, the guarantors named therein and the Trustee (the “Series B Indenture” and together with the Series A Indenture, the “Indentures”).

In connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, we have reviewed copies of the Series A Indenture and the Series B Indenture. We have also examined the Articles of Incorporation of the Guarantor certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Kansas as of November 4, 2011 (the “Articles of Incorporation”), the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Guarantor adopted as of June 9, 2005 and certified by the President and Secretary of the Company to be currently in effect (the “Bylaws”), and a Certificate of Good Standing for the Guarantor dated November 3, 2011 issued and certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Kansas (collectively, the “Public Documents”).

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have made, with your permission, and without independent investigation on our part, the following assumptions:

a. We have assumed that all certifications of public officials and officers and directors of the Guarantor concerning factual matters are accurate and complete as of the date hereof.

b. We have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures, (ii) that all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic or telefacsimilied copies conform to the original documents, and (iii) that all such original documents and all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic. We have also assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons.

c. We have, to the extent we have deemed appropriate and with your permission, assumed that the statements, recitals, representations and warranties as to matters of fact set forth in the Indentures were accurate and complete at the time made.

d. We have assumed that the Registration Statement will be effective at the time the Notes and the Guarantees with respect to the Notes are offered as contemplated by the Registration Statement.

e. We have assumed that any applicable prospectus supplement will have been prepared and filed with the Commission describing the Notes and the Guarantees of the Notes offered thereby to the extent necessary.

f. We have assumed that all Notes and the Guarantees of the Notes will be offered and sold in the manner stated in the Registration Statement or any applicable prospectus supplement.

g. We have assumed that all Notes and the Guarantees of the Notes were issued in accordance with, and in the form and containing the terms set forth in, the Indentures.

h. We have assumed that the Company and the Guarantor will have obtained any legally required consents, approvals, authorizations and other orders of the Commission and any


November 7, 2011

Page 3

 

other federal regulatory agencies necessary for the Notes and the Guarantees of the Notes to be offered and sold in the manner stated in the Registration Statement or any applicable prospectus supplement.

i. We have assumed that the executed Indentures conformed in all respects material to our opinion to the copies of the Indentures we reviewed.

With respect to our opinion that the Indentures have been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor, we note that we were not present at the execution and delivery of the original documents and that we have based our opinion on certificates, statements or other representations of officers of the Guarantor.

As to facts material to this opinion, we have, with your permission, relied upon certificates and oral and written statements of officers of the Guarantor. Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of any fact. We are not generally familiar with the business or operations of the Guarantor and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of any fact should be drawn from our representation of the Guarantor or the rendering of the opinions set forth below.

Based on the foregoing and in reliance thereon and on the assumptions and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth in this opinion, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Guarantor is a corporation incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Kansas. This opinion is based solely on our review of the Public Documents.

2. The Guarantor has the corporate power to enter into and perform its obligations under the Indentures and the Guarantees.

3. The Indentures and the Guarantees have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Guarantor, and the Guarantor’s performance of its obligations thereunder has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action.

4. The execution and delivery of the Indentures and the Guarantees by Guarantor did not, and the performance by Guarantor of its obligations thereunder do not, conflict with or constitute or result in a breach or default under or result in the creation of a lien or encumbrance under or violation of any of (i) the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or (ii) any law of the State of Kansas or any rule or regulation thereunder.

5. No consent, waiver, approval, authorization or order of any court of governmental authority of the State of Kansas was required in connection with Guarantor’s execution of the Indentures and the Guarantees.

Our opinions are based on the assumptions (upon which we have relied with your consent) and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth in this letter, including the following:

We express no opinion as to the effect of local law which shall include charters, ordinances, administrative opinions and rules and regulations of cities, counties, towns, municipalities and special political subdivisions (whether created or enabled through legislative action at the federal, state or regional level).

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to USF Bestway Inc., an Arizona corporation (the “Guarantor”), a subsidiary of YRC Worldwide Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the guarantee by the Guarantor (the “Guarantees”) of the obligations of the Company in respect of (i) $14,993,612 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10% Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Series A Notes”), (ii) $13,401,338 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10% Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Series B Notes” and together with the Series A Notes, the “Initial Notes”), (iii) $6,502,414 in aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes paid-in-kind in respect of interest on the Series A Notes (the “Additional Series A Notes”), and (iv) $5,811,879 in aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes paid-in-kind in respect of interest or make whole premium on the Series B Notes (the “Additional Series B Notes” and together with the Additional Series A Notes, the “Additional Notes”, and the Additional Notes together with the Initial Notes, the “Notes”), offered for resale by Selling Securityholders (collectively, the “Selling Securityholders”) named in the Company’s filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

In our capacity as such counsel, we have reviewed and are familiar with the Registration Statement and exhibits thereto, including the prospectus comprising a part thereof. For the purpose of rendering this opinion, we have made such factual and legal examinations as we deemed necessary under the circumstances, and in that connection we have examined, among other things, originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Guarantor, and other instruments and have made such inquiries as we have deemed appropriate for the purpose of rendering this opinion.

In our examination, we have assumed without independent verification (i) the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, (ii) the genuineness of all signatures, (iii) the

As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein which were not independently established or verified, we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers or other representatives of the Guarantor and others.

On the basis of, and in reliance on, the foregoing examination and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations contained herein and subject to completion of the corporate or other entity action proposed to be taken by the Guarantor, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Guarantor is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Arizona.

2. The Guarantor has the corporate power to enter into and perform its obligations under the Guarantees.

3. The Guarantees have been duly authorized by Guarantor, and the Guarantor’s performance of its obligations thereunder has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action.

4. The execution and delivery of the Guarantees by the Guarantor do not violate any law, rule or regulation of governmental authorities (other than those of counties, towns, municipalities and special political subdivisions) of the State of Arizona applicable to the Guarantor (such laws, rule and regulations are referred to in this opinion as “Applicable Laws”).

5. No consent, waiver, approval, authorization or order of any court of governmental authority of the State of Arizona is required pursuant to any Applicable Law in connection with Guarantor’s execution and delivery of the Guarantees.

The opinions set forth herein are subject to the following further assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions:

A. We have assumed that: (i) the terms of the Notes shall not violate any applicable law, any debt securities of the Guarantor or result in a default or breach of any agreement binding upon the Guarantor, and comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Guarantor; (ii) all Notes have been issued and sold, and shall be resold, in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and solely in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the appropriate offering

documents; (iii) with respect to the Guarantee, if applicable, the Trustee has been properly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended; (iv) value has been given to the Guarantor pursuant to the Indenture and Guarantees; and (v) the Indenture, Notes and Guarantees are enforceable obligations of the respective parties.

B. This opinion is limited to the current laws of the State of Arizona and the current judicial interpretations thereof and to the facts as they exist on the date hereof. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement our opinions should the present laws, or the interpretation thereof, be changed in respect of any circumstances or events that occur subsequent to the date hereof.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as Exhibit 5.7 to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.
