SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus. Because this is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a more complete understanding of this offering, we encourage you to read this entire prospectus, including the section entitled “Risk Factors,” the documents referred to under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information” and the documents incorporated by reference under the heading “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.”

Our Company

YRC Worldwide Inc., one of the largest transportation service providers in the world, is a holding company that through wholly owned operating subsidiaries and its interest in certain joint ventures offers its customers a wide range of transportation services. These services include global, national and regional transportation. Our operating subsidiaries include the following:

 

   

YRC National Transportation (“National Transportation”) is the reporting unit for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in regional, national and international services. National Transportation provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through regionalized and centralized management and customer facing organizations. This unit includes our less-than-truckload (“LTL”) subsidiary YRC Inc. (“YRC”), and YRC Reimer, a subsidiary located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. In addition to the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada, National Transportation also serves parts of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam.

 

   

Regional Transportation (“Regional Transportation”) is the reporting unit for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. Regional Transportation is comprised of New Penn Motor Express, Holland and Reddaway. These companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

 

   

YRC Truckload reflects the results of Glen Moore, a provider of truckload services throughout the U.S.

In August 2010, we completed the sale of the majority of our YRC Logistics business to a third party.

At June 30, 2011, approximately 77% of our labor force was subject to collective bargaining agreements, which predominantly expire in 2015.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we generated revenues of $2.4 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, reported loss from continuing operations of $144.9 million and $269.1 million, respectively, and reported a net loss of $144.9 million and $284.5 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we generated revenues of $4.3 billion, $4.8 billion and $8.3 billion, respectively, reported loss from continuing operations of $301.1 million, $634.3 million and $852.7 million, respectively, and reported a net loss of $324.2 million, $622.0 million and $976.4 million, respectively. For the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2010 our audit report noted that we have experienced significant declines in operations, cash flows and liquidity and these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements for these periods incorporated by reference in this prospectus do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

YRC Worldwide Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1983 and is headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas. We employed approximately 32,000 people as of June 30, 2011. The mailing address of our headquarters is 10990 Roe Avenue, Overland Park, Kansas 66211, and our telephone number is (913) 696-6100. Our website is www.yrcw.com.

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 Series A Notes, the Additional Series A Notes, the Series B Notes and the Additional Series B Notes, 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, Issued Common Shares and the Issuable Common Shares, the “Securities”), as described in the Registration Statement.

The Series A Notes and 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 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 (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 Company and the Guarantors, (ii) minutes and records of the corporate proceedings of the Company and the Guarantors, (iii) the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto and (iv) the Transaction Documents.

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 Company and the Guarantors and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than the Company and the Guarantors. We have not independently 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 Guarantors.

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;

(iii) all Securities will be offered and sold in the manner stated in the Registration Statement or any applicable prospectus supplement;

(iv) the Issuable Common Shares issuable on account of the Notes were issued in accordance with, and in the form and containing the terms as set forth in, the Transaction Documents; and

(v) the Company will have obtained any legally required consents, approvals, authorizations and other orders of the Commission and any other federal regulatory agencies necessary for the Securities to be offered and sold in the manner stated in the Registration Statement or any applicable prospectus supplement.

Based upon and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Initial Notes constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

2. The Initial Guarantees constitute valid and binding obligations of the Guarantors enforceable against the respective Guarantors in accordance with their terms.

3. The Additional Notes and the Additional Guarantees, have been duly authorized and, when executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantors, respectively, in accordance with the Indentures, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, respectively, enforceable against the Company and the respective Guarantors in accordance with their terms.

4. The Issued Common Shares have been validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

5. The Issuable Common Shares issuable on account of the Notes have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Transaction Documents, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Our opinion expressed above is subject to the qualifications that we express no opinion as to the applicability of, compliance with, or effect of (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar law affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), (iii) public policy considerations which may limit the rights of parties to obtain certain remedies, and (iv) any laws except the federal securities laws of the United States, the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware, including the applicable provisions of the Delaware constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws and, with respect to YRC Logistics Services, Inc. and USF Technology Services Inc., each an Illinois corporation, the Illinois Business Corporation Act of 1983, including the applicable statutory provisions, the rules and regulations underlying those provisions, and applicable judicial and regulatory determinations of

the State of Illinois. 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

Trustee in accordance with their terms; that the Trustee will duly authenticate and deliver the Notes in accordance with the Indentures; that the Trustee is in compliance, generally and with respect to acting as an agent under the Indentures with all applicable laws and regulations; and that the Trustee has the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to perform its obligations under the Indentures.

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. This opinion and consent may be incorporated by reference in a subsequent registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Rules promulgated under the Securities Act (the “Rules”) with respect to the registration of additional Securities for sale in any offering contemplated by the Registration Statement and shall cover such additional Securities.

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.

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.

(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 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;

(v) the Company will have obtained any legally required consents, approvals, authorizations and other orders of the Commission and any other federal regulatory agencies necessary for the Securities to be offered and sold in the manner stated in the Registration Statement or any applicable prospectus supplement.

We do not represent the Guarantor on a general or regular basis and, accordingly, have no detailed information concerning its business or operations. Therefore, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing contained herein should be construed as an opinion regarding the Guarantor or its operations satisfying or otherwise complying with any local laws or ordinances or laws or ordinances of general application pertaining to the particular business and operations of the Guarantor.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing qualifications, assumptions and limitations and the further limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

 

1. The Guarantor is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the State of Oregon.

 

2. The Guarantor (a) has duly authorized the Indentures and the Guarantees issued by it, (b) has duly authorized the Guarantor’s performance of its obligations under the Indenture and such Guarantees by all requisite corporate action, and (c) has the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Indenture and such Guarantees.

 

3.

4.

The execution and delivery by the Guarantor of the Indentures and the Guarantees issued by it and the performance by the Guarantor of its obligations thereunder (including with respect to the Guarantee issued by the Guarantor) will not conflict with or constitute or result in a breach or default under (or an event which with notice or the passage of time

5. No consent, waiver, approval, authorization or order of any State of Oregon court or governmental authority of the State of Oregon is required under Applicable Law in connection with the execution and delivery of the Guarantee issued by the Guarantor.

We express no opinion with respect to the Issued Common Shares or the Issuable Common Shares. Furthermore, our opinion expressed above is subject to the qualifications that we express no opinion as to the applicability of, compliance with, or effect of: (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar law affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); (iii) public policy considerations which may limit the rights of parties to obtain certain remedies; (iv) any laws except the laws of the State of Oregon and the Oregon case law decided thereunder; and (v) the “Blue Sky” laws and regulations of State of Oregon.

Overland Park, Kansas 66211

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”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October [    ], 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

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 September 15, 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 October [    ], 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


October [    ], 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:
