NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1995
(UNAUDITED)
1. INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial
Statements of Greyhound Lines, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") include
all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
present fairly the Company's financial position as of June 30, 1995, and the
results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and
1994. Due to the seasonality of the Company's operations, the results of its
operations for the interim period ended June 30, 1995 may not be indicative of
total results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of Greyhound
Lines, Inc. and Subsidiaries and accompanying notes for the year ended December
31, 1994.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
LOSS PER SHARE
Primary loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the
weighted average shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock") and
Common Stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Common Stock
equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of certain
outstanding stock options. The calculation of fully diluted loss per share of
Common Stock assumes the dilutive effect of the Company's 8.5% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due 2007 (the "Convertible Debentures") converted into
Common Stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, the
assumed exercise of outstanding in-the- money stock options and conversion of
Convertible Debentures have an antidilutive effect. As a result, these shares
are not included in the weighted average shares outstanding at June 30, 1995
and 1994. The weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of
primary and fully diluted loss per share of Common Stock for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

CERTAIN RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period statements to
conform them to the June 30, 1995 classifications.
3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LABOR LITIGATION
The Amalgamated Transit Union (the "ATU") strike in March 1990 resulted in
litigation currently pending before the National Labor Relations Board
("NLRB"). In early 1995, a settlement among the ATU, NLRB and the Company was
finalized. The settlement resulted in the dismissal of all litigation between
the ATU, NLRB and the Company, with the exception of one issue related to the
Company's granting in 1990 of experience-based seniority ("EBS") to drivers
hired with previous commercial driving experience, which issue will be resolved
in litigation
7
<PAGE> 8
before the NLRB and appeals, if any. In September 1994, an Administrative Law
Judge of the NLRB issued a ruling finding that the granting of EBS to drivers
with previous commercial driving experience constituted an unfair labor
practice by the Company. The Company has appealed this ruling.
If the Company were to ultimately lose the EBS litigation, after all appeals,
or if the Company were to change its policy relating to EBS credit, it may be
exposed to liability to drivers hired after March 1990 who would lose their EBS
credit. Liability to drivers hired before March 1990 who might lose their EBS
credit was resolved in the aforementioned settlement.
In June 1995, the Company extended an offer to its post-March 1990 drivers with
EBS. Pursuant to the offer, approximately 80% of eligible drivers agreed to
relinquish their seniority rights in return for cash payments. This buyout has
reduced the Company's potential exposure should EBS later be discontinued.
Based on an assessment of the potential liability it could face from claims by
remaining drivers with EBS, the Company does not believe that any such
liability exposure would have a material adverse effect on its business,
results of operations or financial condition.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE INVESTIGATION
In March 1994, the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (the
"DOJ") initiated an antitrust investigation to determine whether there is, has
been, or may be a violation by the Company of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman
Act by conduct or activities constituting a restraint of trade, monopolization
or an attempt to monopolize. This investigation principally involves the
competitive impact of (i) the Company's computerized reservation system,
including the provision of fare and scheduling information via telephone, (ii)
the Company's decision to discontinue publishing its bus schedules in an
industry publication and (iii) various provisions contained in agreements with
bus carriers using the Company's terminals. In April 1995, the Company resumed
publishing its schedules in the industry publication.
Pursuant to this investigation, the DOJ served a civil investigative demand
("CID") on the Company in March 1994. The CID required the Company to answer
various interrogatories and to produce certain documents. In July 1994, the
Company completed the production of documents and answered the interrogatories
required by the CID. In November 1994, the DOJ's staff contacted counsel for
the Company and indicated that they believed that one of the several business
practices investigated, a provision contained in terminal license agreements
with bus carriers using the Company's terminals, violated Section 1 of the
Sherman Act. The Company believes that the subject provision does not violate
that antitrust law. The DOJ has requested that the Company enter into a
consent decree enjoining the Company from enforcing the subject provision in
its terminal license agreements. To date, the Company and the DOJ have not
agreed upon the terms and provisions of a consent decree. The DOJ has
indicated to the Company that it intends to file a complaint against the
Company if a consent decree is not agreed to.
In 1993, the Interstate Commerce Commission's (the "ICC") Office of Economics
conducted an assessment of essentially the same issues involved in the DOJ
investigation. In July 1993, the ICC issued a report concluding that, although
the Company had initiated many business and technological practices that
affected the bus industry, the Company had not intentionally mistreated other
carriers or engaged in any anti-competitive practices. In September 1994, the
ICC voted to discontinue any further potential rulemaking action with respect
to the issues it investigated in 1993.
If the DOJ's threatened action is in fact limited to the single provision in
the terminal license agreements, the Company believes that the investigation
will not have a material impact on the Company's business, financial condition
or results of operations. However, if the DOJ were to challenge other business
practices of the Company, the Company cannot assess the impact, if any, such
action would have on its business or financial condition or results of
operations.

OKLAHOMA SALES TAX CLAIM
In January 1991, the Oklahoma Tax Commission ("OTC") filed a proof of claim
with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Company's Chapter 11
bankruptcy case. That claim related to sales taxes which the OTC alleged were
due and owing by the Company on interstate bus tickets sold in Oklahoma. The
OTC claim involved a proposed tax assessment of approximately $908,000 plus
additional interest. The Company objected to the claim on the basis that the
tax the OTC proposed to assess was an improper burden on interstate commerce in
violation of the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution. In
February 1993, the Bankruptcy Court denied the OTC's claim in its entirety,
finding that the Oklahoma sales tax on interstate travel was unconstitutional.
The OTC subsequently appealed the Bankruptcy Court's decision to the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Brownsville Division (the
"District Court"), which affirmed the Bankruptcy Court's ruling in October
1993. In November 1993, the OTC appealed the case to the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (the "Fifth Circuit"). The decision of
the Fifth Circuit was being held in abeyance pending the United States Supreme
Court's decision in another case brought by the OTC against another bus carrier
involving the same issues. In April 1995, the United States Supreme Court
ruled against the other bus carrier and upheld the constitutionality of a sales
tax imposed on interstate bus tickets by the State of Oklahoma. The Company's
case is being remanded to the Bankruptcy Court where additional proceedings
concerning the claim will be heard. Additionally, in July 1995, the OTC
notified the Company that it intends to conduct an audit for sales taxes due
for the period from August 1992 to July 1995. In view of the Supreme Court's
decision, the Company established a reserve, during the first quarter of 1995,
for its estimate of the liability. In April 1995, the Company began collecting
sales taxes from its customers for interstate bus tickets sold in Oklahoma.

On December 12, 1994, a purported class action lawsuit was filed by the State
Board of Administration of Florida and Louisiana State Employees Retirement
System, purported owners of the Company's Common Stock, against the Company and
certain of its former officers and directors. The suit seeks unspecified
damages for securities law violations and common law fraud and deceit as a
result of statements made in public reports and press releases and to
securities analysts during 1993 and 1994 that are alleged to have been
misleading. The suit, filed in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas, is styled State Board of Administration of Florida
and Louisiana State Employees Retirement System v. Greyhound Lines, Inc., J.
Michael Doyle, Charles A. Lynch, Frank J. Schmieder, and "John Doe" and
"Richard Roe," Civil Action No. 3-94-CV-2694-R. Although this case has been
filed, it has not yet been served on any defendants.
All the purported class action cases above (with the exception of State Board
of Administration of Florida and Louisiana State Employees Retirement System v.
Greyhound Lines, Inc., J. Michael Doyle, Charles A. Lynch, Frank J. Schmieder,
and "John Doe" and "Richard Roe," Civil Action No. 3-94CV-2694-R, which has not
yet been served on any defendants) have been transferred to the Court in which
the first purported class action suit is pending under a case styled In re
Greyhound Securities Litigation, Civil Action 3-94-CV-1793-G. A joint
pretrial order has been entered in the class action litigation which
consolidates for pretrial and discovery purposes all of the stockholder actions
and, separately, all of the debtholder actions. The joint pretrial order
required plaintiffs to file consolidated amended complaints and excused answers
to the original complaints. On July 12, 1995, the plaintiffs filed their
consolidated amended complaints, naming Greyhound Lines, Inc., Frank J.
Schmieder, J. Michael Doyle, Phillip W. Taff, Robert R. Duty, Don T. Seaquist,
Charles J. Lee, Charles A. Lynch and Smith Barney Incorporated. The defendants
will have forty-five days from that filing date to answer or otherwise
respond, unless the time is extended.
With respect to State Board of Administration of Florida and Louisiana State
Employees Retirement System v. Greyhound Lines, Inc., J. Michael Doyle, Charles
A. Lynch, Frank J. Schmieder, and "John Doe" and "Richard Roe," Civil Action
No. 3-94-CV-2694-R, this suit has not yet been served on any defendants, and
thus no answer or other response by the defendants is required. It is expected
that, if served, one of the parties will seek to transfer this case to the
Court where the other purported class actions are pending for consolidation
under the joint pretrial order.
On November 2, 1994, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed by Harvey R.
Rice, a purported owner of the Company's Common Stock, against present
directors and former officers and directors of the Company and the Company as a
nominal defendant. The suit seeks to recover monies obtained by certain
defendants by allegedly trading in the Company's securities on the basis of
nonpublic information and to recover monies for certain defendants' alleged
fraudulent dissemination of false and misleading information concerning the
Company's financial condition and future business prospects. The suit, filed
in the Delaware Court of Chancery, New Castle County, is styled Harvey R. Rice
v. Frank J. Schmieder, J. Michael Doyle, Charles A. Lynch, Richard J. Caley,
Thomas F. Meagher, Thomas G. Plaskett, Kenneth R. Norton, Robert B. Gill,
Alfred E. Osborne, Jr., J. Patrick Foley, Charles J. Lee and Greyhound Lines,
Inc., Civil Action No. 13854.
Pursuant to a stipulation, the current deadline for all defendants to answer,
move or otherwise plead with respect to the derivative complaint is not yet
due.

On May 23, 1995, a lawsuit was filed on behalf of two individuals, purported
owners of the Company's Common Stock, against the Company and certain of its
former officers and directors. The suit seeks unspecified damages for
securities law violations as a result of statements made in public reports and
press releases and to securities analysts during 1993 and 1994 that are alleged
to have been misleading. The suit, filed in the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Ohio, is styled James Illius and Teodore J. Krawec
v. Greyhound Bus Lines, Inc., Frank J. Schmeider and J. Michael Doyle, Civil
Action No. 1-95-CV-1140. The defendants have filed a Motion to Transfer Venue
seeking to have the case transferred to the court in Dallas where the class
action litigation is pending.
Based on a review of the litigation, a limited investigation of the underlying
facts and discussions with legal and outside counsel, the Company does not
believe that the outcome of this litigation would have a material adverse
effect on its business and financial condition. The Company intends to defend
against the actions vigorously. To the extent permitted by Delaware law, the
Company is obligated to indemnify and bear the cost of defense with respect to
lawsuits brought against its officers and directors. The Company maintains
directors' and officers' liability insurance that provides certain coverage for
itself and its officers and directors against claims of the type asserted in
the subject litigation. The Company has notified its insurance carriers of the
asserted claims.
On January 23, 1995, the Company received notice that the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") is conducting a formal, non-public
investigation into possible securities laws violations allegedly involving the
Company and certain of its present and former officers, directors and employees
and other persons. The SEC Order of Investigation (the "Order of
Investigation") states that the SEC is exploring possible insider trading
activities, as well as possible violations of the federal securities laws
relating to the adequacy of the Company's public disclosures with respect to
problems with its passenger reservation system implemented in 1993 and
lower-than-expected earnings for 1993. In addition, the SEC has stated that it
will investigate the adequacy of the Company's record keeping with respect to
the passenger reservation system and its internal auditing controls. Although
the SEC has not announced the targets of the investigation, it does not appear
from the Order of Investigation that the Company is a target of the insider
trading portion of the investigation. The Company is fully cooperating with
the SEC's investigation of these matters. The probable outcome of this
investigation cannot be predicted at this early stage in the proceeding.
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE EXAMINATION
The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has conducted an examination of the
Company's consolidated federal tax returns for the years 1987, 1988 and 1989.
The IRS and the Company entered into Closing Agreements As To The Determination
Of Specific Matters, dated February 13, 1992, and October 7, 1992, wherein the
Company agreed to certain income adjustments resulting in additional tax
assessments which were paid. In April 1995, the Company and the IRS agreed to
settle the remaining contested issues. Pursuant to the settlement, approved
by the Bankruptcy Court in August 1995, the Company will be obligated to pay
additional taxes and interest of $1.1 million, half of which will be paid when
the settlement is finalized, and the remainder of which will be paid with
interest over a two and one-half year period. The Company previously
established a reserve which covers substantially all of its liability under the
settlement.
CHRISS STREET & COMPANY, INC., ET AL V. GREYHOUND LINES, INC., ET AL
In connection with its December 1994 financial restructuring, the Company
stated that a majority of tendering holders of Convertible Debentures willing
to participate in the selection would be entitled to nominate two qualified
persons reasonably acceptable to the Company to serve on its Board of
Directors. In March 1995, the former Convertible Debenture holders submitted
the names of six prospective director nominees to the Company, including
Messrs. Stephen M. Peck, Ernest P. Werlin, Chriss W. Street and Mark M.
Glickman. After a balloting process, the Company's Board of Directors
determined that Messrs. Peck and Werlin were the two most highly ranked
nominees who were qualified to serve as directors of the Company and were
reasonably acceptable to the Company. Messrs. Peck and Werlin were appointed
to vacancies on the Board of Directors on May 31, 1995.
On June 12, 1995, Chriss Street & Company, Inc. and James R. Moriarty
("Plaintiffs"), former holders of Convertible Debentures, filed a lawsuit
against the Company and Messrs. Peck and Werlin (the "Defendants") seeking to
invalidate the appointment of Messrs. Peck and Werlin to the Company's Board
of Directors. The suit also seeks to have Messrs. Street and Glickman
appointed to the Board of Directors or, alternatively, seeks an order
establishing
11
<PAGE> 12
a new nomination and appointment process to fill the two board positions
currently held by Messrs. Peck and Werlin. The suit seeks no monetary damages
other than Plaintiffs' costs including reasonable attorney's fees.
The Defendants have filed an answer to the Plaintiff's complaint denying the
Plaintiffs' allegations. The trial is scheduled to begin on August 30, 1995
and the parties are currently engaged in discovery. The Defendants are
vigorously defending the suit, which the Company believes is without merit.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company may be liable for certain environmental liabilities and clean-up
costs relating to underground fuel storage tanks and systems in the various
facilities presently or formerly owned or leased by the Company. Based upon
surveys conducted by Company personnel, 75 locations have been identified as
sites requiring potential clean-up and/or remediation as of June 30, 1995. Of
this number, eight locations are surplus properties currently held for sale.
The Company has estimated the cost of the clean-up of these eight sites to be
$1.1 million of which approximately $0.3 million is indemnifiable by Dial
pursuant to indemnity obligations arising out of the 1987 acquisitions of the
domestic bus operations of Dial. The Company has estimated the clean-up and/or
remediation costs for the remaining sites to be $4.8 million, of which
approximately $0.8 million is indemnifiable by Dial. The Company has no reason
to believe that Dial will not fulfill its indemnification obligations to the
Company. However, if Dial does not fulfill such obligations, the Company could
have liability with respect to those matters. Additionally, the Company has
been designated as a potentially responsible party by the EPA at four Superfund
sites where the Company and other parties face exposure for costs related to
the clean-up of those sites. The Company believes its liability at these sites
will be settled for an immaterial amount because its involvement at the sites
was as a de minimis generator of wastes disposed of at the sites. In light of
the minimal involvement, the Company has been negotiating to be released from
liability in return for the payment of immaterial settlement amounts. The
Company has recorded a $1.1 million receivable from Dial for indemnification at
June 30, 1995, including costs associated with previously remediated sites. The
Company has also recorded an environmental reserve of $5.4 million, including
the $1.1 million for the surplus properties, at June 30, 1995, for
noncapitalizable expenses related to the sites identified for potential
clean-up and/or remediation. The receivable and reserve amounts for
non-surplus sites are based on discounted cash flows at a discount rate of 8%.
Management believes that adequate accruals have been made related to all known
environmental matters.
OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In addition to the litigation discussed above, the Company is a defendant in
various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, primarily cases
involving personal injury and property damage claims. Although these lawsuits
involve a variety of different facts and theories of recovery, the majority
arise from traffic accidents involving buses operated by the Company. The vast
majority of these claims are covered by insurance for amounts in excess of the
self-retention or deductible portion of the policies. Therefore, based on the
Company's assessment of known claims and its historical claims payout pattern
and discussion with legal and outside counsel and risk management personnel,
management believes that there is no proceeding either threatened or pending
against the Company or its subsidiaries relating to such personal injury and/or
property damage claims arising out of the ordinary course of business that, if
resolved against the Company, would be likely to have a material adverse effect
on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Registration Statement. On July 27, 1995, the Company filed a registration
statement on Form S-3 relating to the sale of up to 10,004,144 shares of Common
Stock. Of those shares, 4,000,000 shares are being offered by the Company and
6,004,144 are being offered by Motor Coach Industries Limited, a selling
stockholder. The Company will not receive any portion of the proceeds from the
sale of shares of Common Stock by the selling stockholder.
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 4,000,000 shares of Common
Stock being offered by the Company are estimated to be $16.7 million (based on
the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange
on July 25, 1995 of $4.50 per share). The Company intends to use $9.6 million
of the net proceeds received by it to repurchase (the "Senior Note Repurchase")
$10.7 million aggregate principal of its 10% Senior Notes due 2001 (the "Senior
Notes") pursuant to a put/call agreement in principle with one of the Company's
principal stockholders. The purchase price for the Senior Notes was based on
arms-length negotiations. The Company will use the remaining net proceeds from
the sale of Common Stock by it for general corporate purposes. Pending use,
the net proceeds to the Company from the Offering will be invested in
short-term, interest-bearing securities.
Capital Structure and Leverage. The Company requires significant cash flows to
meet its debt and other continuing obligations. The Company had $186.9 million
in long-term debt outstanding (excluding $16.4 million of issued and undrawn
standby letters of credit) at June 30, 1995, consisting primarily of the
Company's Senior Notes. The Company currently has semi-annual interest
payments (each January 31 and July 31) of $8.2 million due on the Senior Notes.
After giving effect to the Senior Note Repurchase, the Company's semi-annual
interest payments will be reduced to $7.6 million (each January 31 and July
31). The Senior Notes have sinking fund payments, initially in the amount of
$8.0 million and increasing annually thereafter, beginning in July 1996.
Assuming the Company completes the Senior Note Repurchase, the 1996 sinking
fund payment of $8.0 million will be met through the Senior Note Repurchase and
the $1.7 million of Senior Notes which the Company currently owns. The balance
of the Senior Note Repurchase will be applied to the July 1997 sinking fund
payment. As a result, the July 1997 sinking fund payment will be reduced from
$10.0 million to approximately $5.6 million. The Company will also require
$13.5 million in the aggregate for other debt service and $18.4 million for
bus, real estate and other operating lease obligations during the remainder
of 1995.
During February 1995, in connection with the Financial Restructuring (see -
"Financial Restructuring"), the Company pre-paid $12.9 million in bus financing
to Motor Coach Industries Acceptance Corporation ("MCIAC") and as of June 30,
1995, aggregate amounts outstanding were $7.1 million. The pre-payment
resulted in the release of liens on 64 buses, which the Company has pledged as
collateral under the New Credit Facility (defined herein). As part of the
Financial Restructuring, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to
refinance, on commercially reasonable terms, the remaining MCIAC debt.
In July 1995, the Company issued 415,044 shares of Common Stock to the
participants in the Company sponsored 401(k) cash or deferred retirement plans
that cover substantially all of its ongoing salaried, hourly and represented
employees.
Liquidity. Operating cash flows, together with cash from financing activities,
seasonal revolving credit borrowings and sales of assets, historically have
been sufficient to fund the Company's operations and investing activities which
consist primarily of capital expenditures for new bus acquisitions, systems
development costs and, to a lesser extent, facilities replacements or upgrades.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, however, operating activities required
net cash of $4.0 million. The net cash required by operating activities, as
well as cash required for investing activities, were funded by revolving
borrowings under the New Credit Facility (defined herein), proceeds received
from the Rights Offerings (see - "Financial Restructuring") and, to a lesser
extent, the sale of surplus assets. At June 30, 1995, the Company had cash and
cash equivalents of $0.9 million and $30.2 million in available borrowing
capacity under the New Credit Facility (defined herein) for general purposes.
13
<PAGE> 14
The Company is party to two floating rate interest rate swap agreements. In
October 1994, the agreements were amended to lock in future payments under the
agreements until maturity in July 1998. The net result of the amendments is
that these swaps will not be subject to interest rate risk. Under the
amendments, the Company will be required to pay and recognize incremental
interest expense of $6.2 million in total over the remaining term of the
five-year agreements. The Company has collateralized its payment obligations
under the amended agreements with a $1.1 million letter of credit and liens on
six pieces of Company-owned real property. On or prior to January 1, 1996, the
counterparty to the swap agreements has the right to evaluate its collateral
and may require the Company to post additional collateral or cash collateral
in lieu of real property.
During October 1994 as part of the Financial Restructuring (see - "Financial
Restructuring"), the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the
"Credit Facility") with Foothill Capital Corporation ("Foothill"), which
replaced the Company's prior bank facility. At the time of the Financial
Restructuring, the Credit Facility provided for revolving loans and letters of
credit and/or letter of credit guarantees of up to $35.0 million.
In June 1995, the Company renegotiated its Credit Facility (the "New Credit
Facility). The New Credit Facility provides for revolving loans, letters of
credit and letter of credit guarantees up to a maximum commitment of $73.5
million. Syndication commitments under the New Credit Facility, including
Foothill's commitment as the lead agent, total $65.0 million at August 10,
1995. Availability under the New Credit Facility is limited to the aggregate of
the following: (1) revolving advances of up to $3.5 million based on a formula
of certain eligible accounts receivable; (2) revolving advances of up to $35.0
million (subject to increase to $45.0 million under certain circumstances) (the
"Fixed Asset Advances") based on the value of certain fixed asset collateral
pledged to Foothill; and (3) a bus purchase facility of up to $26.5 million
(the "Bus Purchase Facility"). Borrowings under the New Credit Facility mature
on May 31, 1998, although availability under the Fixed Asset Advances will be
subject to quarterly reductions after April 1996. The New Credit Facility is
secured by liens on substantially all the assets of the Company, excluding real
estate purchases and new bus purchases unless those buses are specifically
pledged to support borrowing under the Bus Purchase Facility. The New Credit
Facility allows the Company to dispose of certain non-core real estate
properties. In addition, non-bus capital expenditures are limited to $25.0
million annually with no spending limitations on bus purchases as long as
financed through debt, or operating or capital leases with maturities of no
less than five years. The New Credit Facility is subject to financial
covenants, including maintenance of a minimum net worth and an agreed ratio of
cash flow to interest expense. As of June 30, 1995, there were approximately
$16.4 million in issued and undrawn standby letters of credit outstanding under
the New Credit Facility, and $2.5 million in revolving borrowings outstanding
under the New Credit Facility.
The Company has embarked on an aggressive risk reduction and claims reduction
program. Due to a decrease in the pending inventory of claims, certain
insurance carriers have reduced their collateral and security requirements for
previous years' claims, which resulted in a return of collateral and security
to the Company of approximately $8.5 million during April 1995. Nevertheless,
a decision by the Company's insurers to modify the Company's program
substantially, by either increasing cost, reducing availability or increasing
collateral, could have a material adverse effect on the future liquidity and
operations of the Company.
During the Company's bankruptcy in 1990, certain funds were set aside to cover
claims arising under the ICC Trust Fund. Those claims have been concluded and
a final distribution has been made to the claimants. The ICC trust fund is
collateralized with a $2.0 million letter of credit which is expected to be
released during September 1995.
Capital Expenditures. The Company's operations also require significant annual
capital and maintenance expenditures related to the Company's bus fleet,
properties and systems software. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the
Company's capital expenditures totalled $5.1 million. During June and July
1995, the Company took delivery of 102 new buses from Motor Coach Industries
International, Inc. ("MCII"). These buses are currently subject to a month to
month operating lease. Prior to October 1, 1995, the Company must either
purchase the buses or convert to a seven year operating lease with MCII or its
assignee. During the last half of 1995, the Company will take delivery of an
additional 23 buses from MCII. The Company currently plans to purchase these
buses.
Approximately 34% of the Company's bus fleet is more than 10 years old. The
Company's experience indicates that as the age of its fleet increases, the
dependability and quality of service declines, which may make the Company less
competitive. To replace these buses and to support the planned increase in the
size of the bus fleet, the Company expects to acquire up to 300 new buses over
the next 18 months at an aggregate cost of approximately $70 to $80 million.
Management believes that a delay in acquiring these new buses could adversely
affect future operations due
14
<PAGE> 15
to the higher operating costs associated with operating older buses and the
inability to implement fully the Company's plans to increase total bus miles.
The Company's ability to finance these and other capital expenditures and to
meet its other financial obligations will depend on the Company's future
operating performance, which will be subject to financial, economic, legal and
other factors affecting the business and operations of the Company, many of
which are beyond its control. Although the New Credit Facility and cash flows
from operating activities will be sufficient to make a portion of the Company's
planned expenditures, the Company's operating strategy will depend on the
availability of additional sources of financing, such as operating and capital
lease financing or funds provided through sales of assets or sales of
securities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain
financing on suitable terms for these purposes.
CERTAIN CONTINGENCIES. The Company is subject to various contingencies that
could affect its liquidity position in the future. See ("ITEM 1. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS.")
FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING
During the fall of 1994, the Company initiated a comprehensive change to its
capital structure (the "Financial Restructuring"). The Financial Restructuring
was completed in January 1995 and consisted of (i) the execution of the Credit
Facility; (ii) an offer to convert the entire $98.9 million in aggregate
principal amount of the Convertible Debentures into shares of Common Stock and
(iii) a pro rata offering (the "Rights Offering") to the Company's stockholders
of the opportunity to subscribe for and purchase new shares of Common Stock.
Further information relating to the Financial Restructuring may be found under
"MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS - Financial Restructuring" in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.
SECOND QUARTER 1995 AND 1994 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's business is seasonal in nature and generally follows the pattern
of the travel business as a whole, with peaks during the summer months and the
Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday periods. Historically, the Company has
experienced substantial seasonal variances in its results of operations with
the second quarter reflecting a net loss or minimal net income and the first
quarter typically being a net loss period.
The following table presents certain of the Company's consolidated operating
statistics for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994:

Operating Loss. Operating loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995
was reduced to $2.8 million and $14.7 million, respectively, compared to an
operating loss of $27.1 million and $45.8 million for the same periods in 1994
despite an increase in regular service miles operated of 4.9 million miles (or
8.5%) and 6.8 million miles (or 6.2%) for the three and six months ended June
30, 1995, respectively, compared to 1994.

Operating revenues increased $10.3 million (or 6.8%) and $8.2 million (or
2.9%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, while operating
expenses decreased $13.9 million (or 7.8%) and $22.9 million (or 6.9%) for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1995, compared to the same periods in 1994.
Operating loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 1994 included $20.5
million and $21.0 million, respectively, of certain operating charges for a
number of items including: claims from the Company's 1990 bankruptcy; increased
cost estimates for environmental remediation; and an adjustment to depreciation
of $6.0 million to recognize impairment of certain operating facilities which
are less than fully utilized.
Operating Revenues. Passenger service revenues increased $10.3 million (or
8.2%) and $8.9 million (or 3.8%) for the three and six months ended June 30,
1995, compared to the same periods in 1994. This increase was realized despite
the impact of the "$68 or Less" fare promotion which was in effect during the
three months ended June 30, 1994. The promotion resulted in lower yields
(revenue per passenger mile) during the second quarter of 1994 (9.32 cents per
mile) compared to the second quarter of this year (9.61 cents per mile). The
promotion was discontinued for the second half of 1994. Because of this year's
everyday low pricing, the Company does not expect yields for the remainder of
1995 to be above 1994 levels. During the first quarter of 1995, the Company
disclosed that business in the smaller markets had been very weak. The Company
took action to provide more telephone support and better pricing and scheduling
support for these locations in an effort to rebuild the smaller market segment.
While showing some improvement from the first quarter of 1995, the revenue
performance in the smaller markets is still weak.
The number of passengers carried increased 7.1% for the second quarter of 1995
compared to 1994 and 5.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1995, compared to
1994. Management believes the increase in ridership results from the
introduction of everyday low pricing, improvements in handling customer
telephone calls and more convenient bus schedules. Average trip length
declined 2.0% for the second quarter of 1995 and 2.0% for the six months ending
June 30, 1995, due to greater growth of the short haul business versus last
year. The statistics for passengers carried and trip length, previously
estimated from the revenue accounting system, are now produced from the
information captured by the Transportation Reservation Itinerary Planning
System ("TRIPS") for electronically sold tickets, which represents an
ever-increasing portion of the total business. Historical factors for
estimating the statistical impact of tickets sold in non-TRIPS locations have
been updated and, in addition, the impact of such sales has been reduced as the
number of TRIPS locations has increased. As a result, the statistical
information for 1994 has been changed accordingly, from that previously
published. As the Company continues to expand TRIPS to manual locations, the
dependence on historical factors for estimating manual ticket activity will be
lessened.
Package express delivery service revenues declined $1.3 million (or 12.3%) and
$2.6 million (or 12.6%) in the three and six months ended June 30, 1995,
compared to the same periods in 1994. Package express revenues continued to
decline, reflecting reductions in routes and intense competition in the package
express delivery service from overnight carriers. This decline is likely to
continue until the Company develops and successfully implements a turnaround
strategy for package express.
Other operating revenues increased approximately $1.5 million (or 16.5%) and
$2.3 million (or 13.1%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995
compared to the same periods in 1994 due primarily to an increase in interest
income. As a result of higher interest rates during the first and second
quarter of 1995, interest earned on the Company's insurance deposits, ICC Trust
Fund and collateral deposits increased.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses decreased by $13.9 million (or
7.8%) and $22.9 million (or 6.9%) for the three and six months ended June 30,
1995 as compared to 1994. Regular service miles operated for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to 1994 increased by 4.9 million miles
(or 8.5%) and 6.8 million miles (or 6.2%). Operating expenses for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1994 included a total of $19.6 million and $20.1
million, respectively, of the certain operating charges discussed above.
Maintenance costs continue to decline from 1994 in absolute dollars and cost
per mile. In spite of increased miles operated, maintenance labor costs
decreased due to a significant reduction in garage personnel since the first
half of 1994. Maintenance utilities and building repairs have decreased due to
the downsizing and closure of several
16
<PAGE> 17
facilities. Also contributing to the decreased expenses was the closing of the
New York City garage in January 1995. In addition, included in the second
quarter of 1994 were certain operating charges of $1.7 million which related
primarily to the reserve for increased cost of environmental remediation.
Transportation expenses increased $7.8 million (or 24.1%) and $10.2 million (or
16.3%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same
periods in 1994. This increase is primarily due to an increase in drivers'
wages of $2.0 million and $4.3 million, and additional fuel expense of $0.7
million and $0.7 million resulting from increased miles operated for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 compared to 1994. Also contributing
to the change in transportation expense were increased costs for the training
of drivers of $3.0 million and $3.2 million for the three and six months ending
June 30, 1995 compared to 1994. These additional expenses related to hiring
and training new drivers and were necessary in order to increase the number of
bus miles being operated versus last year and to improve the quality of
operations. The increase in transportation cost per mile of 7.6 cents per mile
(or 13.8%) and 5.2 cents per mile (or 9.3%) for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1995 as compared to 1994, are primarily due to these training
costs but also reflect in the second quarter a contractual increase in drivers
wages.
Agents' commissions and station costs increased $1.5 million (or 5.3%) and
$0.7 million (or 1.3%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995
compared to the same periods in 1994, primarily due to an increase in customer
service headcount which was required to improve service levels at the Company's
terminals. In 1994, in order to reduce costs, certain terminals were closed in
the late evenings and overnight. During the current year, the business hours
at 15 of these terminals have been increased to better serve long distance
customers. Also contributing to the increased staffing was the implementation
of the continuous quality cleaning program, which is a program to ensure that
buses are cleaned and washed on a more consistent basis. Communication costs
at the telephone information centers increased due to a jump in the number of
calls handled by 1.2 million (or 26.1%) and 1.4 million (or 15.6%) for the
three and six-month periods ending June 30, 1995 compared to the same periods
in 1994. In spite of these increases, station costs declined on a per mile and
percent of revenue basis due to increased volume.
Marketing, advertising and traffic costs decreased $4.0 million (or 30.0%) and
$10.9 million (or 46.6%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995
compared to the same periods in 1994, due primarily to a planned spending
reduction of $9.5 million in the first half of 1995 in direct advertising
expenditures.
Insurance and safety costs decreased $6.4 million (or 31.9%) and $7.7 million
(or 24.1%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the
same periods in 1994. Included in the second quarter of 1994 were certain
operating charges of $6.4 million which related primarily to charges recorded
to increase reserve levels for bankruptcy claims previously considered barred.
Also contributing to the decrease is a $1.2 million and $1.5 million reduction
in the baggage claims expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995
compared to the same periods in 1994, due to a new baggage handling policy put
into place in October, 1994 which has reduced the number of baggage claims and
also the payout on baggage claims. The automobile and general liability expense
increased in the second quarter of 1995 due to the additional claims exposure
related to the increased miles operated, as well as the impact of a change in
the Company's claims management strategy. This strategy is expected to reduce
insurance claims expense for automobile and general liability over the longer
term.
General and administrative expenses decreased $0.8 million (or 4.0%) and $1.3
million (or 3.4%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to
the same periods in 1994, due in part, to a decrease in group insurance
expense. In addition, included in the second quarter of 1994 were $1.1 million
of certain operating charges which relate primarily to the write-down of
certain assets to their realizable value. These decreases were partially
offset by approximately $0.6 million and $1.5 million recorded in the three
and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, to accrue for expense under
the Company's management incentive plan. There was no similar expense recorded
during 1994.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $5.5 million (or 43.9%) and $5.4
million (or 27.1%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared
to the same periods in 1994, primarily due to an operating charge of $6.0
million taken in the second quarter of 1994 to recognize impairment of certain
operating facilities which are less than fully utilized.
17
<PAGE> 18
Operating taxes and licenses increased $0.2 million (or 1.9%) and $1.1 million
(or 4.9%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the
same periods in 1994, primarily as a result of a reserve recorded in the first
quarter of 1995 for past sales taxes potentially owed on interstate bus tickets
sold in Oklahoma. This increase is partially offset by a decrease in real
estate taxes due to the closure of the New York City garage in early January
1995.
Operating rental expense decreased by $0.9 million (or 7.5%) and $1.0 million
(or 4.5%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the
same periods in 1994, primarily due to the closing of several maintenance
facilities. Operating rental expense for leased buses for the three month
periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 was $5.6 million and $5.7 million,
respectively, and for the six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 was
$11.4 million and $10.7 million, respectively.
Other operating expenses decreased $3.8 million (or 63.0%) and $3.9 million (or
51.7%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same
periods in 1994. Included in the three and six months ended June 30, 1994 are
certain operating charges of $4.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively, which
relate primarily to a $2.8 million write-down in 1994 taken to reflect the
expected market value of real estate properties which were not being utilized
by the Company and were expected to be sold.
Interest Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, interest expense was
$13.9 million, including net expense of $0.2 million resulting from the interest
rate swap agreements entered into during 1993 (see - "Capital Resources and
Liquidity"). Interest expense decreased $1.7 million (or 10.8%) for the first
six months of 1995 compared to 1994, due to the $3.8 million interest reduction
related to the conversion of the Convertible Debentures (see - "Financial
Restructuring"). This reduction was offset by increased expense paid on an
installment note relating to bus purchase financing entered into during mid
1994. Also offsetting the reduction is the interest component of a settlement
with the Internal Revenue Service for adjustments to prior year federal tax
returns. The Company's weighted average interest rate on long-term debt at
June 30, 1995 was 11.1%.
Income Taxes. For the quarter ended March 31, 1994, the Company recorded an
income tax benefit of $10.6 million as a result of its pre-tax loss. At that
time, projections indicated that it was "more likely than not" that the income
tax benefit would be utilized to offset future period income tax expense. At
June 30, 1994, projections were revised, and the Company expected to have a net
loss for the year. As a result, there was less of a likelihood that the
Company would utilize the income tax benefit, and therefore, the income tax
benefit recorded for the first quarter of 1994, was reversed during the second
quarter of 1994. In 1995, the Company does not anticipate a profit and has not
recorded any tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 1995.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
LABOR LITIGATION
The ATU strike resulted in certain litigation before the NLRB relating to
experience-based seniority. See Note 3 to the Interim Consolidated Financial
Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, included elsewhere
in this filing.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE INVESTIGATION
The Antitrust Division of the DOJ has initiated an antitrust investigation to
determine whether there is, has been, or may be a violation by the Company of
Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act by conduct or activities constituting a
restraint of trade, monopolization or an attempt to monopolize. See Note 3 to
the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1995, included elsewhere in this filing.
OKLAHOMA SALES TAX CLAIM
In January 1991, the Oklahoma Tax Commission ("OTC") filed a proof of claim
with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Company's Chapter 11
bankruptcy case. The claim related to sales taxes which the OTC alleged were
due and owing by the Company on interstate bus tickets sold in Oklahoma. See
Note 3 to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1995, included elsewhere in this filing.
SECURITIES AND DERIVATIVE LITIGATION; SEC INVESTIGATION
From August 1994 to May 1995, eight lawsuits were filed by various individuals
and groups against the Company and certain other parties. The suits seek
unspecified damages for securities law violations. In November 1994, a
shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed against present directors and former
officers and directors of the Company and the Company as a nominal defendant.
In addition, on January 23, 1995, the Company received notice that the
Securities and Exchange Commission is conducting a formal, non- public
investigation into possible securities laws violations allegedly involving the
Company and certain other parties. See Note 3 to the Interim Consolidated
Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, included
elsewhere in this filing.
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE EXAMINATION
The IRS has conducted an examination of the Company's consolidated federal tax
returns for the years 1987, 1988 and 1989. The Company and the IRS have
settled all remaining contested issues. See Note 3 to the Interim
Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30,
1995, included elsewhere in this filing.
CHRISS STREET & COMPANY, INC., ET AL V. GREYHOUND LINES, INC., ET AL
In connection with its December 1994 financial restructuring, the Company
stated that a majority of tendering holders of Convertible Debentures willing
to participate in the selection would be entitled to nominate two qualified
persons reasonably acceptable to the Company to serve on its Board of
Directors. After a balloting process, the Company's Board of Directors
determined that Stephen M. Peck and Ernest P. Werlin were the two most highly
ranked nominees who were qualified to serve as directors of the Company and
were reasonably acceptable to the Company. Messrs. Peck and Werlin were
appointed to vacancies on the Board of Directors on May 31, 1995.
On June 12, 1995, Chriss Street & Company, Inc. and James R. Moriarty, former
holders of Convertible Debentures, filed a lawsuit against the Company and
Messrs. Peck and Werlin seeking to invalidate the appointment of Messrs. Peck
and Werlin to the Company's Board of Directors. See Note 3 to the Interim
Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30,
1995, included elsewhere in this filing.

<PAGE> 20
OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In addition to the litigation discussed above, the Company is a defendant in
various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, primarily cases
involving personal injury and property damage claims. Although these lawsuits
involve a variety of different facts and theories of recovery, the majority
arise from traffic accidents involving buses operated by the Company. The vast
majority of these claims are covered by insurance for amounts in excess of the
self-retention or deductible portion of the policies. Therefore, based on the
Company's assessment of known claims and its historical claims payout pattern
and discussion with legal and outside counsel and risk management personnel,
management believes that there is no proceeding either threatened or pending
against the Company or its subsidiaries relating to such personal injury and/or
property damage claims arising out of the ordinary course of business that, if
resolved against the Company, would be likely to have a material adverse effect
on the business, financial condition or results of operations.

APPROVAL OF 1995 DIRECTORS' STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
The 1995 Directors' Stock Incentive Plan (the "1995 Directors' Incentive Plan")
was adopted by the Board of Directors on February 27, 1995. The 1995
Directors' Incentive Plan is designed to attract and retain capable directors
and to provide them with long-term incentives to continue their services to the
Company, to maximize the value of the Company to its stockholders and to permit

2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.
2.1 Revolving Advances. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, including the amount of the Maximum Credit and
the Maximum Borrowing Amount, Foothill agrees to make revolving advances to
Borrower in an amount not to exceed the sum of:
(i) the lesser of: (x) eighty-five percent (85%)
of Borrower's Eligible Accounts, net of reserves established pursuant to
Section 2.1(b); (y) an amount equal to Borrower's total cash collections from
all sources for the immediately preceding thirty (30) calendar day period; and
(z) the Current Asset Sublimit;
plus (ii) Thirty-Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000),
which amount is subject to reduction and/or increase in accordance with the
terms of this Section 2.1(a)(ii) and Section 3.6 (the "Tranche A Borrowing
Base").
The amount of the Tranche A Borrowing Base shall
automatically be reduced in amounts which equal: (1) One Million Two Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000) per quarter (the "Quarterly Reduction"),
commencing April 1, 1996 and continuing on the first day of each July, October,
January and April thereafter; (2) the higher of (x) one hundred percent (100%)
of the net proceeds received from the sale of any of the Core Bus Collateral
after the date of this Agreement and (y) the minimum release price for the Core
Bus Collateral to be established by Foothill in its reasonable credit judgment;
(3) the higher of (x) one hundred percent (100%) of the net proceeds received
from the sale of any of the Core Real Property Collateral after the date of
this Agreement and (y) the minimum release price for the Core Real Property
Collateral to be established by Foothill in its sole and absolute discretion;
and (4) ten percent (10%) of the net proceeds, which exceed an aggregate total
of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000), from the sale, subsequent to January
1, 1995, of any Real Property (other than Core Real Property Collateral).
17
<PAGE> 23
The Tranche A Borrowing Base may be increased by an amount
not greater than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) to a maximum amount of
Forty-Five Million Dollars ($45,000,000) if Borrower elects, prior to September
30, 1995, to grant to Foothill a first priority perfected security interest in
all of the then owned personal property of the Pledged Subsidiaries, wherever
located, of every type and description, including approximately one hundred
fifteen (115) buses (the "Tranche A Additional Collateral"). The amount of
such increase shall be determined by Foothill in its reasonable credit judgment
based upon Foothill's review of a third party appraisal of the bus portion of
the Tranche A Additional Collateral, but in no event shall the amount of such
increase exceed the lesser of eighty percent (80%) of the bulk wholesale value
or orderly liquidation value of the bus portion of such Collateral. Upon
Foothill's approval of any increase in the Tranche A Borrowing Base based upon
the Tranche A Additional Collateral but prior to any increase in the Tranche A
Borrowing Base being made available to Borrower, Borrower shall take, or cause
the Pledged Subsidiaries to take, such actions with respect to the Tranche A
Additional Collateral as Foothill shall require in accordance with Section 4.4.
In the event that the Tranche A Borrowing Base is increased in accordance with
this Section 2.1(a)(ii), then the amount of the Quarterly Reduction shall be
increased by three and fifty seven one hundredths of one percent (3.57%) of the
increase in the Tranche A Borrowing Base.
plus (iii) such amount as shall be made available in
accordance with the terms of this Section 2.1(a)(iii) (the "Tranche B Borrowing
Base"). The amount of the Tranche B Borrowing Base shall be equal to
seventy-five percent (75%) (rounded down to the nearest One Million Dollar
($1,000,000) if the amount over a One Million Dollar ($1,000,000) increment is
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), or less, or rounded up to the nearest
One Million Dollar ($1,000,000) increment if the amount over a One Million
Dollar ($1,000,000) increment is more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000)) of Borrower's actual cost (excluding costs of acquisition and
transportation) of the Tranche B Collateral in which Foothill has been granted
a first priority perfected security interest from time to time by Borrower to
either activate or increase, as the case may be, the Tranche B Borrowing Base;
provided, however, the availability and amount of the Tranche B Borrowing Base
is subject to the amount of the Maximum Credit, and in no event shall the
amount of the Tranche B Borrowing Base ever exceed the Maximum Tranche B Credit
Amount; provided, further, prior to the activation or any increase, as the case
may be, of the Tranche B Borrowing Base, Borrower shall have taken such actions
with respect to such Tranche B Collateral as Foothill shall require in
accordance with Section 4.4. For each separate item of Tranche B Collateral
pledged to Foothill in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.1(a)(iii),
the Tranche B Borrowing Base shall thereafter be reduced on the first day of
the thirteenth month following the date that such Tranche B Collateral was
pledged to Foothill, and continuing on the first day of each third month
thereafter by an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Tranche B Borrowing
Base attributable to such Tranche B Collateral pledged to Foothill.
Concurrently with each such quarterly reduction, Borrower shall make a
principal reduction payment to Foothill in such amount as shall be required in
order to reduce the principal balance of advances owing under the Tranche B
Borrowing Base to the amount of the Tranche B Borrowing Base, as so reduced on
such date, together with all accrued but unpaid
18
<PAGE> 24
interest on the amount of such principal reduction payment calculated in
accordance with Section 2.5. At Borrower's request, so long as an Event of
Default is not continuing, Foothill shall release any security interests
previously granted to it in and upon the Tranche B Collateral, or any portion
thereof; provided, however, that concurrently therewith, the Tranche B
Borrowing Base shall be reduced to an amount equal to seventy-five percent
(75%) (rounded down to the nearest One Million Dollar ($1,000,000) increment)
of Borrower's actual cost (excluding costs of acquisition and transportation)
of the Tranche B Collateral, if any, which thereafter remains subject to
Foothill's security interest; provided, further, that prior to any release of
the Tranche B Collateral, Borrower shall have made a principal reduction
payment to Foothill in such amount as shall be required in order to reduce the
principal balance of advances owing under the Tranche B Borrowing Base to the
amount of the Tranche B Borrowing Base, as reduced by the amount of such
release of the Tranche B Collateral, together with all accrued but unpaid
interest on the amount of such principal reduction payment.
(b) Anything to the contrary in Section
2.1(a) notwithstanding, Foothill may reduce its advance rates based upon
Eligible Accounts, and may reduce the Tranche A Borrowing Base and/or the
Tranche B Borrowing Base (in addition to the automatic reductions provided in
Sections 2.1(a)(ii) and (iii)), without declaring an Event of Default if it
determines, in its reasonable judgment exercised in good faith in accordance
with Foothill's customary business practices, that there is a material
impairment of the prospect of repayment of all or any portion of the
Obligations or a material impairment of the value or priority of Foothill's
security interests in the Collateral, the Tranche A Additional Collateral
and/or the Tranche B Collateral; provided, however, that such determinations
with respect to a reduction of the Tranche A Borrowing Base and/or the Tranche
B Borrowing Base shall be based on the value of Vehicles, Real Property, the
Tranche A Additional Collateral and/or the Tranche B Collateral determined by
Foothill's periodic (but not more frequently than once per year) appraisals.
In addition, Foothill may impose reserves in respect of Designated Payables if
Borrower has become delinquent in the payment thereof.
(c) Foothill shall have no obligation to
make advances hereunder to the extent they would cause the outstanding
Obligations to exceed the lesser of: (i) the Maximum Credit, or (ii) the
Maximum Borrowing Amount.
(d) Borrower agrees to establish and
maintain a single designated deposit account for the purpose of receiving the
proceeds of the advances requested by Borrower and made by Foothill hereunder.
Unless otherwise agreed by Foothill and Borrower in writing, any advance
requested by Borrower and made by Foothill hereunder shall be made to such
designated deposit account. Foothill is authorized to make advances under this
Agreement to the designated deposit account based upon telephonic or other
instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Officer of
Borrower, or without instructions if pursuant to Section 2.5(d). Amounts
borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of
this Agreement.
19
<PAGE> 25
2.2 Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Guarantees.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, Foothill agrees to issue commercial or standby letters of
credit for the account of Borrower (each, an "L/C") or to issue standby letters
of credit or guarantees of payment (each such letter of credit or guaranty, an
"L/C Guaranty") with respect to commercial or standby letters of credit issued
by another Person for the account of Borrower in an aggregate face amount not
to exceed the lesser of: (i) the amount of the Fixed Asset Sublimit then in
effect plus Borrower's credit availability under Section 2.1(a)(i) (assuming
for purposes of this calculation that advances under such Section were zero)
less the amount of advances outstanding pursuant to Section 2.1, and (ii)
Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000). Borrower expressly understands and
agrees that Foothill shall have no obligation to arrange for the issuance by
other financial institutions of letters of credit that are to be the subject of
L/C Guarantees. Borrower and Foothill acknowledge and agree that certain of
the letters of credit that are to be the subject of L/C Guarantees may be
outstanding on the Closing Date. Each such L/C and L/C Guaranty shall have an
expiry date no later than sixty (60) days prior to the date on which this
Agreement is scheduled to terminate under Section 3.3 (without regard to any
potential renewal term) and all such L/Cs and L/C Guarantees shall be in form
and substance acceptable to Foothill in its sole discretion. Foothill shall
not have any obligation to issue L/Cs or L/C Guarantees to the extent that the
face amount of all outstanding L/Cs and L/C Guarantees, plus the amount of
advances outstanding pursuant to Section 2.1, would exceed the lesser of: (y)
the Maximum Credit, or (z) the Maximum Borrowing Amount. The L/Cs and the L/C
Guarantees issued under this Section 2.2 shall be used by Borrower, consistent
with this Agreement, for its general corporate purposes. If Foothill is
obligated to advance funds under an L/C or L/C Guaranty, the amount so advanced
immediately shall be deemed to be an advance made by Foothill to Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.1 and, thereafter, shall bear interest at the rates then
applicable under Section 2.5.
(b) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify,
save, defend, and hold Foothill harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or
liability, including payments made by Foothill, reasonable expenses, and
reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Foothill arising out of or in connection
with any L/Cs or L/C Guarantees. Borrower agrees to be bound by the issuing
bank's regulations and reasonable interpretations of any letters of credit
backed by an L/C Guaranty and opened to or for Borrower's account or by
Foothill's reasonable interpretations of any L/C issued by Foothill to or for
Borrower's account, even though this interpretation may be different from
Borrower's own, and Borrower understands and agrees that Foothill shall not be
liable for any error, negligence, or mistakes, whether of omission or
commission, in following Borrower's instructions or those contained in the L/Cs
or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Borrower understands
that the L/C Guarantees may require Foothill to indemnify the issuing bank for
certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrower against such
issuing bank. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold
Foothill harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable
attorneys fees), or liability incurred by Foothill under any L/C Guaranty as a
result of Foothill's indemnification of any such issuing bank.
20
<PAGE> 26
(c) Borrower hereby authorizes and directs
any bank that issues a letter of credit backed by an L/C Guaranty to deliver to
Foothill all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received
by the issuing bank pursuant to the letter of credit, and to accept and rely
upon Foothill's instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising
in connection with the letter of credit and the related application. Borrower
may or may not be the "applicant" or "account party" with respect to such
letter of credit.
(d) Any and all service charges,
commissions, fees, and costs incurred by Foothill relating to letters of credit
backed by L/C Guarantees shall be considered Foothill Expenses for purposes of
this Agreement and immediately shall be reimbursable by Borrower to Foothill
subject to Section 2.5(d). On the first day of each month, Borrower will pay
Foothill a fee equal to two percent (2.0%) per annum times the average Daily
Balance of the undrawn L/Cs and L/C Guarantees that were outstanding during the
immediately preceding month. Service charges, commissions, fees, and costs may
be charged to Borrower's loan account at the time the service is rendered or
the cost is incurred.
(e) Immediately upon the termination of this
Agreement, Borrower agrees to either: (i) provide cash collateral to be held
by Foothill in an amount equal to the maximum amount of Foothill's obligations
under L/Cs plus the maximum amount of Foothill's obligations to any Person
under outstanding L/C Guarantees, or (ii) cause to be delivered to Foothill
releases of all of Foothill's obligations under its outstanding L/Cs and L/C
Guarantees. At Foothill's discretion, any proceeds of Collateral received by
Foothill after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default may be held as the cash collateral required by this Section 2.2(e).
2.3 Intentionally Omitted.
2.4 Overadvances. If, at any time or for any reason,
the amount of Obligations owed by Borrower to Foothill pursuant to Sections 2.1
and 2.2 is greater than either the dollar or percentage limitations set forth
in Sections 2.1 or 2.2 (an "Overadvance"), Borrower immediately shall pay to
Foothill, in cash, the amount of such excess to be used by Foothill first, to
repay non-contingent Obligations and, thereafter, to be held by Foothill as
cash collateral to secure Borrower's obligation to repay Foothill for all
amounts paid pursuant to L/Cs or L/C Guarantees.
2.5 Interest: Rate, Payments, and Calculations.
(a) Interest Rate. All Obligations, except
for undrawn L/Cs and L/C Guarantees, shall bear interest, on the average Daily
Balance, from the Closing Date to and including January 31, 1996, at a per
annum rate equal to the Reference Rate plus two percent (2%), and thereafter at
a per annum rate equal to the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Margin then in
effect.
21
<PAGE> 27
(b) Default Rate. All Obligations, except
for undrawn L/Cs and L/C Guarantees, shall bear interest, from and after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a per annum
rate equal to four (4.0) percentage points above the Reference Rate. From and
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the fee
provided in Section 2.2(d) shall be increased to a fee equal to four percent
(4.0%) per annum times the average Daily Balance of the undrawn L/Cs and L/C
Guarantees that were outstanding during the immediately preceding month.
(c) Minimum Interest. In no event shall the
rate of interest chargeable hereunder be less than six percent (6%) per annum.
(d) Payments. Interest hereunder shall be
due and payable on the first day of each month during the term hereof.
Borrower hereby authorizes Foothill, at its option, without prior notice to
Borrower, to charge such interest, all Foothill Expenses (as and when
incurred), and all installments or other payments due under any other Loan
Document to Borrower's loan account, which amounts shall thereafter accrue
interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. To extent it is practicable to
do so, Foothill shall provide notice to Borrower of the nature and amount of
any such Foothill Expenses prior to same being charged to Borrower's account;
provided, however, that any failure by Foothill to provide such notice to
Borrower shall not in any way diminish Borrower's obligation to reimburse
Foothill for such Foothill Expenses or impair Foothill's right to receive the
same; provided, further that if Foothill is unable to give prior notice to
Borrower of the Foothill Expenses or any other payments due (other than
interest and fees), Foothill will, in all events, give subsequent detailed
notice to Borrower of such charges and the constituent amounts. Any such
Foothill Expenses which are charged to Borrower's account at or prior to 9:00
a.m., Los Angeles time shall be credited that same day, and if after such time,
then credited on the next Business Day. Any interest not paid when due shall
be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall
thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.
(e) Computation. The Reference Rate as of
this date is nine percent (9%) per annum. In the event the Reference Rate is
changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder
automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount
equal to such change in the Reference Rate. The rates of interest charged
hereunder shall be based upon the average Reference Rate in effect during the
month. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be
computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual
number of days elapsed.
(f) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum
Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this
Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the
highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction
shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrower and Foothill, in
executing this Agreement, intend to legally agree upon the rate or rates of
interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that,
anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or
rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the
22
<PAGE> 28
maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto as of the date of this
Agreement, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum
as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrower in excess of such legal
maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of
the Obligations to the extent of such excess.
2.6 Crediting Payments; Application of Collections.
The receipt of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment by
Foothill (whether from transfers to Foothill by the Lock Box Banks pursuant to
the Lock Box Agreements or otherwise) immediately shall be applied to
provisionally reduce the Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on
account unless such wire transfer is of immediately available federal funds and
is made to the appropriate deposit account of Foothill or unless and until such
check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Should
any check or item of payment not be honored when presented for payment, then
Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment, and interest shall be
recalculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein
notwithstanding, any wire transfer, check, or other item of payment shall be
deemed received by Foothill on a Business Day only if it is received into
Foothill's Operating Account (as such account is identified in the Lock Box
Agreements) on or before 11:00 a.m. Los Angeles time on such Business Day. If
any wire transfer, check, or other item of payment is received into Foothill's
Operating Account (as such account is identified in the Lock Box Agreements)
after 11:00 a.m. Los Angeles time it shall be deemed to have been received by
Foothill as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business
Day.
2.7 Statements of Obligations. Foothill shall render
statements to Borrower of the Obligations, including principal, interest, fees,
and including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Foothill
Expenses owing or previously charged to the loan account, and such statements
shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate, absent manifest
error, and constitute an account stated between Borrower and Foothill unless,
within sixty (60) days after receipt thereof by Borrower, Borrower shall
deliver to Foothill by registered or certified mail at its address specified in
Section 12, written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained
in any such statements.
2.8 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Foothill the
following fees:
(a) Closing Fee. A one time closing fee of
Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) which is earned, in full, on the
Closing Date and is due and payable by Borrower to Foothill in connection with
this Agreement on the Closing Date;
(b) Unused Line Fee. On the first day of
each month during the term of this Agreement, commencing July 1, 1995, a fee in
an amount equal to three-eighths of one percent (0.375%) per annum times the
Average Unused Portion of the Maximum Borrowing Amount (the "Unused Line Fee");
(c) Financial Examination, Documentation,
and Appraisal Fees. Foothill's customary fee of Six Hundred Fifty Dollars
($650) per day per examiner, plus
23
<PAGE> 29
out-of-pocket expenses for each periodic financial analysis and examination of
Borrower performed by Foothill or its agents; fees and costs of outside
appraisers used by Foothill to periodically appraise the Vehicles, the Real
Property, the Additional Tranche A Collateral or the Tranche B Collateral, not
more frequently than annually prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default;
and, on each anniversary of the Closing Date, Foothill's customary fee of One
Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per year for its loan documentation review;
(d) Administrative Fee. On the first day of
each month during the term of this Agreement, and thereafter so long as any
Obligations are outstanding, and on the Maturity Date, an administrative fee in
an amount equal to Thirty- Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000) per month,
commencing June 1995; provided, however, such administrative fee shall be
reduced to Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000) per month if Borrower's Operating
Ratio is 2.0:1.0 or greater for the prior four fiscal quarters as set forth in
the Certificate of Borrower's Chief Financial Officer delivered pursuant to
Section 6.4. The change in the amount of the administrative fee resulting from
a change in the Operating Ratio shall first be eligible on June 1, 1996; and
(e) Additional Fees. Immediately upon any
increase in the Maximum Credit resulting from Foothill receiving additional
commitments from existing or new Participants, Borrower shall pay Foothill a
fee in the amount of one and one- quarter percent (1.25%) of the increase in
the Maximum Credit. Such fee shall be fully earned and non-refundable when
paid.

effect for a term ending on May 31, 1998 (the "Maturity Date"), unless sooner
terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. The foregoing notwithstanding,
Foothill shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement
immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default.
3.4 Effect of Termination. On the date of
termination, all Obligations (including any cash collateral required to be paid
pursuant to Section 2.2(e)(i) in respect of contingent reimbursement
obligations under any outstanding L/Cs or L/C Guarantees; and any accrued but
unpaid portions of the Unused Line Fee) immediately shall become due and
payable without notice or demand. No termination of this Agreement, however,
shall relieve or discharge Borrower of Borrower's duties, Obligations, or
covenants hereunder, and Foothill's continuing security interests in the
Collateral shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been fully and
finally discharged and Foothill's obligation to provide advances hereunder is
terminated.

or L/C Guarantees to be held as cash collateral), provided, however, that such
prepayment shall also be accompanied by a premium (the "Early Termination
Premium") in an amount equal to that percent of the Maximum Credit, in effect

3.6 Partial Reductions of Tranche A Borrowing Base.
Borrower has the option, from time to time after April 1, 1996, upon not less
than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Foothill, to permanently reduce
the Tranche A Borrowing Base in increments of Five Million Dollars

terminate this Agreement in its entirety pursuant to Section 3.5.
3.7 Partial Reductions of Maximum Tranche B Credit

not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Foothill, to permanently
reduce the Maximum Tranche B Credit Amount in increments of Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000); provided, however, that the maximum amount that the Maximum
Tranche B Credit Amount may be reduced shall not exceed the greater of (a) Ten
Million Dollars ($10,000,000) or (b) forty percent (40%) of the Maximum Tranche
B Credit Amount. Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay an Early
Termination Premium in connection with any of the above described partial
reductions unless, within six (6) months following the date of any such
reduction, Borrower elects to terminate this Agreement in its entirety pursuant
to Section 3.5.
4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.
4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby
grants to Foothill a continuing security interest in all currently existing and
hereafter acquired or arising Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of
any and all Obligations and in order to secure prompt
27
<PAGE> 33
performance by Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan
Documents. Foothill's security interests in the Collateral shall attach to all
Collateral without further act on the part of Foothill or Borrower. Except as
specifically provided in this Agreement (including Section 7.4), Borrower has
no authority, expressed or implied, to dispose of any item or portion of the
Collateral.
4.2 Negotiable Collateral. In the event that any
Collateral, including proceeds, is evidenced by or consists of Negotiable
Collateral, Borrower shall, immediately upon the request of Foothill, endorse
and assign such Negotiable Collateral to Foothill and deliver physical
possession of such Negotiable Collateral to Foothill.
4.3 Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles,
Negotiable Collateral. Foothill, Borrower, and the Lock Box Banks have entered
into the Lock Box Agreements, pursuant to which all of Borrower's cash
receipts, checks, and other items of payment (including, insurance proceeds,
proceeds of cash sales, rental proceeds, and tax refunds, but excluding
receipts generated from Mexico and Canada and proceeds of Investments) will be
forwarded to Foothill on a daily basis. At any time that an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing or Foothill deems itself insecure (in accordance
with Section 1208 of the Code), Foothill or Foothill's designee may: (a)
notify customers or Account Debtors of Borrower that the Accounts, General
Intangibles, or Negotiable Collateral have been assigned to Foothill or that
Foothill has a security interest therein; and (b) collect the Accounts, General
Intangibles, and Negotiable Collateral directly and charge the collection costs
and expenses to Borrower's loan account. Borrower agrees that it will hold in
trust for Foothill, as Foothill's trustee, any cash receipts, checks, and other
items of payment (including, insurance proceeds, proceeds of cash sales, rental
proceeds, and tax refunds) that it receives and immediately will deliver said
cash receipts, checks, and other items of payment to Foothill in their original
form as received by Borrower.
4.4 Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. At
any time upon the request of Foothill, Borrower shall execute and deliver, and
to the extent Borrower elects to pledge the Additional Tranche A Collateral,
cause the Pledged Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, to Foothill all
financing statements, continuation financing statements, fixture filings,
security agreements (including the Subsidiary Security Agreements), chattel
mortgages, pledges, assignments, endorsements of certificates of title,
applications for title, affidavits, reports, notices, schedules of accounts,
letters of authority, and all other documents that Foothill may reasonably
request, in form and substance satisfactory to Foothill, to perfect and/or
continue perfected Foothill's security interests in the Collateral and in order
to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated hereby and under the
other Loan Documents.
4.5 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably
makes, constitutes, and appoints Foothill (and any of Foothill's officers,
employees, or agents designated by Foothill) as Borrower's true and lawful
attorney, with power to: (a) if Borrower refuses to, or fails timely to
execute and deliver any of the documents described in Section 4.4, sign the
name of Borrower on any of the documents described in Section 4.4; (b) at any
time
28
<PAGE> 34
that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or Foothill deems
itself insecure (in accordance with Section 1208 of the Code), sign Borrower's
name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against
Account Debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of
Accounts, and notices to Account Debtors; (c) send requests for verification of
Accounts; (d) endorse Borrower's name on any checks, notices, acceptances,
money orders, drafts, or other item of payment or security that may come into
Foothill's possession; (e) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, notify the post office authorities to change the address for
delivery of Borrower's mail to an address designated by Foothill, to receive
and open all mail addressed to Borrower, and to retain all mail relating to the
Collateral and forward all other mail to Borrower; (f) at any time that an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, make, settle, and adjust all
claims under Borrower's policies of insurance and make all determinations and
decisions with respect to such policies of insurance; and (g) at any time that
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, settle and adjust disputes
and claims respecting the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts
and upon terms which Foothill determines to be reasonable, and Foothill may
cause to be executed and delivered any documents and releases which Foothill
determines to be necessary. The appointment of Foothill as Borrower's
attorney, and each and every one of Foothill's rights and powers, being coupled
with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the obligations have been fully
and finally repaid and performed and Foothill's obligation to extend credit
hereunder is terminated.
4.6 Right to Inspect. Foothill (through any of its
officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, from time to time
hereafter during normal business hours, or if an Event of Default has occurred,
at any time, to inspect Borrower's Books and to check, test, and appraise the
Collateral in order to verify Borrower's financial condition or the amount,
quality, value, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Borrower represents and warrants to Foothill as follows:
5.1 No Prior Encumbrances. Borrower has good and
indefeasible title to the Collateral, free and clear of liens, claims, security
interests, or encumbrances, except for Permitted Liens.
5.2 Eligible Accounts. The Eligible Accounts are, at
the time of the creation thereof and as of each date on which Borrower includes
them in a calculation or certification, bona fide existing obligations created
by the sale and delivery of Inventory or the rendition of services to Account
Debtors in the ordinary course of Borrower's business, unconditionally owed to
Borrower without defenses, disputes, offsets, counterclaims, or rights of
return or cancellation. At the time of the creation of an Eligible Account and
as of each date on which Borrower includes an Eligible Account in a calculation
or certification, Borrower has not received notice of actual or imminent
bankruptcy, insolvency, or material impairment of the financial condition of
any applicable Account Debtor regarding such Eligible Account.
29
<PAGE> 35
5.3 Location of Vehicles. All Vehicles included in
the Collateral on the date hereof are of the type and quantity, bear the
vehicle identification numbers, and are titled in the jurisdictions listed on
Schedule 5.3 hereto. All certificates of title evidencing Borrower's ownership
of the Vehicles have been duly endorsed in favor of, and delivered to, Foothill
and all other filings, registrations, releases, assignments, or recordings
necessary or appropriate, to create, preserve, protect, and perfect the
security interest granted by Borrower to Foothill hereby in respect of the
Vehicles have been accomplished, except to the extent arrangements have been
made to make such endorsements and deliveries, filings, registrations,
releases, assignments, and recordings which arrangements are reasonably
satisfactory to Foothill in its sole discretion and, upon the completion of
such endorsements and deliveries, filings, registrations, releases,
assignments, and recordings, the security interest granted to Foothill pursuant
to this Agreement in and to the Vehicles will constitute a first priority
perfected security interest therein superior and prior to the rights of all
other Persons therein subject to no other liens and is entitled to all the
rights, priorities and benefits afforded by the Code or other relevant law as
enacted in any relevant jurisdiction to perfected security interests.
5.4 Location of Inventory and Equipment. The
Inventory and Equipment (other than non-material amounts of Equipment located
at ticket agents in the ordinary course of Borrower's business) are not stored
with a bailee, warehouseman, or similar party (without Foothill's prior written
consent) and, except for Vehicles, are located only at the locations identified
on Schedule 6.15 (as the same may be updated from time to time) or otherwise
permitted by Section 6.15.
5.5 Inventory Records. Borrower now keeps, and
hereafter at all times shall keep, correct and accurate records itemizing and
describing the kind, type, quality, and quantity of the Inventory, and
Borrower's cost therefor.
5.6 Location of Chief Executive Office; FEIN. As of
the Closing Date, the chief executive office of Borrower is located at the
address indicated in the preamble to this Agreement and Borrower's FEIN is
86-0572343.
5.7 Due Organization and Qualification. Borrower is
duly organized and existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of
its incorporation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good
standing in, any state where the failure to be so licensed or qualified could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business,
operations, condition (financial or otherwise), finances, or prospects of
Borrower or on the value of the Collateral to Foothill.
5.8 Due Authorization; No Conflict. The execution,
delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents are within Borrower's corporate
powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute
a breach of any provision contained in Borrower's Articles or Certificate of
Incorporation, or By-laws, nor will they constitute an
30
<PAGE> 36
event of default under any material agreement to which Borrower is a party or
by which its properties or assets may be bound.
5.9 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.9,
there are no actions or proceedings pending by or against Borrower before any
court or administrative agency and Borrower does not have knowledge or belief
of any pending, threatened, or imminent litigation, governmental
investigations, or claims, complaints, actions, or prosecutions involving
Borrower or any guarantor of the Obligations, that, if decided adversely to
Borrower (and such decision reasonably could be anticipated), would materially
impair the prospect of repayment of the Obligations or materially impair the
value or priority of Foothill's security interests in the Collateral.
5.10 No Material Adverse Change in Financial Condition.
All financial statements relating to Borrower or any guarantor of the
Obligations that have been delivered by Borrower to Foothill have been prepared
in accordance with GAAP and fairly present Borrower's (or such guarantor's, as
applicable) financial condition as of the date thereof and Borrower's results
of operations for the period then ended. There has not been a material adverse
change in the financial condition of Borrower (or such guarantor, as
applicable) since the date of the latest financial statements submitted to
Foothill on or before the Closing Date.
5.11 Solvency. Borrower is Solvent. No transfer of
property is being made by Borrower and no obligation is being incurred by
Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents with the intent to hinder, delay, or defraud either
present or future creditors of Borrower.
5.12 Employee Benefits. To the best of Borrower's
knowledge, each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the
applicable provisions of ERISA and the IRC. Except as set forth on Schedule
5.12, each Qualified Plan and, to the knowledge of Borrower, each Multiemployer
Plan has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to qualify under
Section 401 of the IRC, and the trusts created thereunder have been determined
to be exempt from tax under Section 501 of the IRC, and, to the best knowledge
of Borrower, nothing has occurred that would cause the loss of such
qualification or tax-exempt status. There are no outstanding liabilities under
Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Plan maintained or sponsored by Borrower
or any ERISA Affiliate, nor with respect to any Plan to which Borrower or any
ERISA Affiliate contributes or is obligated to contribute which could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition of Borrower. No Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA has any Unfunded
Benefit Liability which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition of Borrower. Neither Borrower nor any ERISA
Affiliate has transferred any Unfunded Benefit Liability to a person other than
Borrower or an ERISA Affiliate or has otherwise engaged in a transaction that
could be subject to Sections 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA which could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of
Borrower. Neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred nor reasonably
expects to incur (x) any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the
giving of notice under
31
<PAGE> 37
Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Sections 4201 or
4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan, or (y) any liability under
Title IV of ERISA (other than premiums due but not delinquent under Section
4007 of ERISA) with respect to a Plan, which could, in either event, reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of
Borrower. No application for a funding waiver or an extension of any
amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the IRC has been made with
respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan). No ERISA Event has
occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Plan which
could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition of Borrower. Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate have complied in all
material respects with the notice and continuation coverage requirements of
Section 4980B of the IRC.
5.13 Environmental Condition.
(a) Borrower has not used Hazardous Materials
at or affecting the Real Property in any manner which violates any Act
governing the use, storage, treatment, transportation, manufacturing,
refinement, handling, production, or disposal of Hazardous Materials, or that
may make the owner of the premises liable in tort under a common law public or
private nuisance action, except for such uses that either individually or, in
the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, the priority or value
of Foothill's lien or security interest in the Collateral or the condition
(financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
(b) To the best knowledge of Borrower after
due inquiry, no prior or current owner, occupant or operator of the Real
Property has used Hazardous Materials at or affecting the Real Property in any
manner which violates any Act governing the use, storage, treatment,
transportation, manufacturing, refinement, handling, production, or disposal of
Hazardous Materials, or that may make the owner of the premises liable in tort
under a common law public or private nuisance action, except for such uses that
either individually or, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on the prospect of repayment of the Obligations,
the priority or value of Foothill's lien or security interest in the Collateral
or the condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
5.14 Compliance With The ADA.
(a) To the best of Borrower's knowledge,
Borrower has made all modifications or provided all accommodations which may be
required to be made or provided by Borrower to the Real Property pursuant to
the ADA, except where noncompliance with such requirements would not have a
material adverse effect on the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, the
priority or value of Foothill's lien or security interest in the Collateral or
the condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
(b) To the best of Borrower's knowledge,
Borrower has received no notice or complaint regarding any material
noncompliance with the ADA of any
32
<PAGE> 38
of the Real Property or of Borrower's employment practices and, to the best of
Borrower's knowledge, there has been no threatened litigation alleging any such
material noncompliance by Borrower or the Real Property, except where
noncompliance with such requirements would not have a material adverse effect
on the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, the priority or value of
Foothill's lien or security interest in the Collateral or the condition
(financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
5.15 Reliance by Foothill; cumulative. Each warranty
and representation contained in this Agreement automatically shall be deemed
repeated with each advance or issuance of an L/C or L/C Guaranty and shall be
conclusively presumed to have been relied on by Foothill regardless of any
investigation made or information possessed by Foothill. The warranties and
representations set forth herein shall be cumulative and in addition to any and
all other warranties and representations that Borrower now or hereafter shall
give, or cause to be given, to Foothill.
6. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.
Borrower covenants and agrees that, so long as any credit
hereunder shall be available and until full and final payment of the
Obligations, and unless Foothill shall otherwise consent in writing, Borrower
shall do all of the following:
6.1 Accounting System. Borrower shall maintain a
standard and modern system of accounting in accordance with GAAP with ledger
and account cards or computer tapes, discs, printouts, and records pertaining
to the Collateral which contain information as from time to time may be
requested by Foothill.
6.2 Collateral Reports. Borrower shall deliver to
Foothill, no later than the tenth day of each month during the term of this
Agreement, a detailed aging, by total, of the Accounts, a reconciliation
statement, and a summary aging, by vendor, of all accounts payable and any book
overdraft. Borrower shall also deliver to Foothill, monthly, a detailed
Borrower prepared report setting forth all payables in respect of Borrower's
interline obligations, payables to obligees for lottery ticket sales,
obligations to return cash received from COD freight deliveries on behalf of
freight customers, payables owing to American Express with respect to
Moneygrams (or any other similar programs), and sales taxes due and payable on
sales receipts (collectively, the "Designated Payables"). Borrower shall also
deliver to Foothill, promptly upon its receipt, any reports delivered to
Borrower by the National Bus Traffic Association Clearinghouse respecting
Borrower's interline payables. Original sales invoices evidencing daily sales
respecting Borrower's package express service shall be mailed by Borrower to
each Account Debtor thereon with, at Foothill's request, a copy to Foothill,
and, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
Foothill deems itself insecure (in accordance with Section 1208 of the Code),
the invoices shall indicate on their face that the Account has been assigned to
Foothill and that all payments are to be made directly to Foothill. Borrower
shall deliver to Foothill, as Foothill may from time to time require,
collection reports, sales journals, invoices, original delivery receipts,
customer's
33
<PAGE> 39
purchase orders, shipping instructions, bills of lading, and other
documentation respecting shipment arrangements. Absent such a request by
Foothill, copies of all such documentation shall be held by Borrower as
custodian for Foothill.
6.3 Schedules of Certain Accounts. With such
regularity as Foothill shall require, Borrower shall provide Foothill with
schedules describing all Accounts. Foothill's failure to request such
schedules or Borrower's failure to execute and deliver such schedules shall not
affect or limit Foothill's security interests or other rights in and to the
Accounts.
6.4 Financial Statements, Reports, Certificates.
Borrower agrees to deliver to Foothill: (a) as soon as available, but in any
event within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first eleven
(11) months during each of Borrower's fiscal years, a company prepared balance
sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement covering Borrower's operations
during such period; (b) as soon as available, but in any event within ninety
(90) days after the end of each of Borrower's fiscal years, financial
statements of Borrower for each such fiscal year, audited by independent
certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to Foothill and certified,
without any qualifications, by such accountants to have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP; and (c) each month together with the reports of
Designated Payables provided pursuant to Section 6.2, a certificate signed by
Borrower's Chief Financial Officer, to the effect that Borrower is keeping
current on all such Designated Payables. Such audited financial statements
shall include a balance sheet, profit and loss statement, and cash flow
statement, and, if prepared, such accountants' letter to management. If
Borrower is a parent company of one or more subsidiaries, or Affiliates, or is
a subsidiary or Affiliate of another company, then, in addition to the
financial statements referred to above, Borrower agrees to deliver financial
statements prepared on a consolidating basis so as to present Borrower and each
such related entity separately, and on a consolidated basis.
Together with the above, Borrower also shall
deliver to Foothill Borrower's Form 10-Q Quarterly Reports, Form 10-K Annual
Reports, and Form 8-K Current Reports, and any other filings made by Borrower
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, if any, as soon as the same are
filed, or any other information that is provided by Borrower to its
shareholders, and any other report reasonably requested by Foothill relating to
the Collateral and financial condition of Borrower.
Each month, together with the financial statements
provided pursuant to Section 6.4(a), Borrower shall deliver to Foothill a
certificate signed by its Chief Financial Officer to the effect that: (i) all
reports, statements, or computer prepared information of any kind or nature
delivered or caused to be delivered to Foothill hereunder have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP and fairly present in all material respects the financial
condition of Borrower; (ii) Borrower is in timely compliance with all of its
covenants and agreements hereunder; (iii) the representations and warranties of
Borrower contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and
correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such certificate, as
though made on and as of such date (except to the
34
<PAGE> 40
extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier
date); and (iv) on the date of the certificate to Foothill there does not exist
any condition or event that constitutes an Event of Default (or, in each case,
to the extent of any non-compliance, describing such non-compliance as to which
he or she may have knowledge and what action Borrower has taken, is taking, or
proposes to take with respect thereto).
Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each
of Borrower's fiscal quarters (except for a quarter which is a fiscal year end,
in which case it shall be ninety (90) days), commencing with the fiscal quarter
ending December 31, 1995, Borrower shall deliver to Foothill a certificate
signed by its Chief Financial Officer, indicating the Operating Ratio as of the
end of such quarter, and containing such supporting data and calculations, in
reasonable detail, as Foothill shall require.
Borrower shall have issued written instructions to
its independent certified public accountants authorizing them to communicate
with Foothill and to release to Foothill whatever financial information
concerning Borrower that Foothill may request. Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes and directs all auditors and accountants to deliver to Foothill, at
Borrower's expense, copies of Borrower's financial statements, papers related
thereto, and other accounting records of any nature in their possession, and to
disclose to Foothill any information they may have regarding Borrower's
business affairs and financial conditions (other than such information which
the accountants have obtained solely in their capacity as advisors to Borrower
or any of its subsidiaries in any litigation between Borrower or any of its
subsidiaries and Foothill).

Foothill copies of each of Borrower's future federal income tax returns, and
any amendments thereto, within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof with
the Internal Revenue Service.
6.6 Guarantor Reports. Borrower agrees to cause any
guarantor of any of the obligations to deliver its annual financial statements
at the time when Borrower provides its audited financial statements to Foothill
and copies of all federal income tax returns as soon as the same are available
and in any event no later than thirty (30) days after the same are required to
be filed by law.
6.7 Registration, Use, Maintenance, Identification of
Vehicles. Borrower shall, at its own cost and expense, at all times cause its
Vehicles to be and to remain duly titled and registered (as may be required by
the jurisdiction in which each such title or registration is required by law)
in the name of Borrower as owner.
(a) Borrower shall use and operate its
Vehicles in compliance with its established policies.
(b) Borrower shall as to each Vehicle, and at
its own expense, keep, maintain, service, repair, overhaul, and furnish all
parts, replacements, mechanisms,

compliance with customary industry standards. All such repairs, parts,
mechanisms and devices shall immediately, without further act, become part of
the Vehicles and subject to the security interests created herein. Any part
added to the Vehicle in connection with any improvement, change, addition, or
alteration shall immediately, without further act, become part of the Vehicle
and subject to the security interest created herein.
(c) If requested by Foothill in writing,
Borrower shall, at its cost and expense attach to the inside of each Vehicle a
notice reasonably satisfactory to Foothill disclosing Foothill's security
interest in such Vehicle.
6.8 Additional Vehicles. If Borrower desires to add
buses and motor vehicles to Tranche A Additional Collateral or Tranche B
Collateral, it shall (i) give Foothill written notice of the type(s), quantity,
vehicle identification numbers, certificate of title number(s), and
jurisdiction(s) of registration of each such Vehicle and provide such other
information in connection therewith as Foothill may reasonably request and (ii)
take such action reasonably satisfactory to Foothill as is necessary or
appropriate to create, preserve, protect, and perfect the security interest of
Foothill in such Vehicle intended to be granted hereby.
6.9 Title to Equipment other than Vehicles. Upon
Foothill's request, Borrower immediately shall deliver to Foothill, properly
endorsed, any and all evidences of ownership of, certificates of title, or
applications for title to any items of Equipment other than Vehicles.
6.10 Maintenance of Equipment other than Vehicles.
Borrower shall keep and maintain the Equipment (other than Vehicles) in good
operating condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and make all
necessary replacements thereto so that the value and operating efficiency
thereof shall at all times be maintained and preserved. Borrower shall not
permit any item of Equipment to become a fixture to real estate (other than
real estate subject to a Mortgage) or an accession to other property, and the
Equipment is now and shall at all times remain personal property.
6.11 Taxes. Except where contested in good faith by
Borrower, all assessments and taxes, whether real, personal, or otherwise, due
or payable by, or imposed, levied, or assessed against Borrower or any of its
property have been paid, and shall hereafter be paid in full, before
delinquency or before the expiration of any extension period. Borrower shall
make due and timely payment or deposit of all federal, and all material state
and local, taxes, assessments, or contributions required of it by law, and will
execute and deliver to Foothill, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting
to the payment thereof or deposit with respect thereto. Borrower will make
timely payment or deposit of all tax payments and withholding taxes required of
it by applicable laws, including those laws concerning F.I.C.A., F.U.T.A.,
state disability, and local, state, and federal income taxes, and will, upon

(a) Borrower will, at all times maintain (at
its expense) in full force and effect insurance on all of the Collateral in
such amounts, covering such risks and liabilities and with such deductibles or
self-insured retentions as are commercially reasonable and in accordance with
normal industry practice and all applicable laws, rules and regulations,
including, without limitation, those promulgated by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, provided that in no event will any such deductible or self-insured
retention in respect of liability claims or in respect of casualty damage
exceed, in each such case, Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence (or
such lower amounts as required by the Interstate Commerce Commission). A
schedule of all such insurance presently maintained by Borrower is attached
hereto as Schedule 6.12. At any time that insurance at the levels described as
"Required Levels" in Schedule 6.12 is not being maintained by Borrower,
Borrower will notify Foothill in writing thereof and, if thereafter notified by
Foothill to do so, Borrower will obtain insurance at such levels at least equal
to those set forth as "Required Levels" in Schedule 6.12. Borrower will
furnish on the Closing Date and annually thereafter to Foothill a summary of
the insurance carried in respect of Borrower and its assets together with
certificates of insurance and other evidence of such insurance, if any, naming
Foothill as an additional insured with respect to any liability policy and
stating that such insurance shall not be cancelled or materially revised
without thirty (30) days' prior written notice by the insurer to Foothill, and
that any loss payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding any act or
negligence of Borrower.
(b) Original policies or certificates thereof
satisfactory to Foothill evidencing such insurance shall be delivered to
Foothill at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the existing or
preceding policies. Borrower shall give Foothill prompt notice of any loss
covered by such insurance and, following an Event of Default, Foothill shall
have the right to adjust any loss. Any monies received as payment for any loss
under any insurance policy shall be paid over to Foothill to be applied to the
Obligations; provided, however, that prior to an Event of Default, payments
with respect to such losses of up to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) per bus
and One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) per terminal, but in no event more
than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) per year for all buses and
Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) per year for all terminals, may be
retained by Borrower to rebuild, repair, or replace such property.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, so long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred, Borrower may negotiate reductions of insurance deposits, and transfer
such deposits from one carrier to another, and the amount of any reductions in
such deposits may be used in Borrower's business without being applied to the
Obligations.

so long as any such new location is within the continental United States, and
so long as, at the time of such written notification, Borrower provides any

perfected Foothill's security interests in such assets and also provides to
Foothill a landlord's waiver in form and substance satisfactory to Foothill.

the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and orders of any
governmental authority, including the Interstate Commerce Commission, any

priority of Foothill's security interests in the Collateral.

6.18 Environmental Condition.

store, release or dispose, or permit the generation, use, treatment, storage,
release, or disposal of Hazardous Materials on the Real Property, except for
such Hazardous Materials generated, used, treated, stored, released or disposed
of in material compliance with all applicable Acts and required in connection
with the normal operation, use and maintenance of such Real Property in conduct
of the business undertaken on such Real Property, unless such noncompliance
either individually, or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse effect on the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, the
priority or value of Foothill's lien or security interest in the Collateral or
the condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
(b) Borrower will and will use its best
efforts to cause all operators, occupants and other third parties to comply
with all applicable Acts, except where noncompliance would not reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the prospect of repayment of the
Obligations, the priority or value of Foothill's lien or security interest in
the Collateral or the condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
(c) At any time following an Event of Default,
or if Foothill deems itself insecure (in accordance with Section 1208 of the
Code) or reasonably believes that a material environmental problem may exist
with respect to one or more parcels of the Real Property, and upon the
reasonable request of Foothill: (i) Borrower shall conduct and complete all
investigations, studies, samplings, and testings relative to Hazardous
Materials at or affecting the Real Property; (ii) Borrower shall provide
Foothill at Borrower's sole cost and expense and without any liability to
Foothill, with an environmental site assessment or an
39
<PAGE> 45
environmental audit report, or an update of such assessment or report, by an
environmental engineering firm acceptable to Foothill, which acceptance shall
not be unreasonably withheld, all in scope, form, and content reasonably
satisfactory to Foothill, to assess with a reasonable degree of certainty the
presence or absence of Hazardous Materials and the potential cost in connection
with the Remediation of any Hazardous Materials at or related to the Real
Property; and (iii) at Borrower's sole cost and expense, Borrower shall
promptly take all actions required by applicable Acts to Remediate the Real
Property. All such work shall be performed by one or more contractors selected
by Borrower and approved in advance by Foothill, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Borrower shall proceed continuously and diligently with
such investigatory and remedial actions, provided that in all cases, such
actions shall be in accordance with all applicable requirements of all Acts.
Any such actions shall be performed in a good, safe, and workmanlike manner and
shall minimize any material adverse impact on the business or occupation at or
near the Real Property. Borrower shall pay all costs in connection with such
investigatory and remedial activities, including but not limited to, all power
and utility costs, any and all taxes or fees that may be applicable to such
activities. Borrower shall provide Foothill with copies of all material
reports generated in compliance with the above activities; provided Borrower
shall have no such obligation unless the problem giving rise to the
investigation or Remediation could reasonably be expected to materially or
adversely effect the Real Property. This notwithstanding, upon reasonable
request, Borrower will provide Foothill with copies of any and all such
reports. Within ten (10) days of demand therefor, Borrower shall provide
Foothill with a bond, letter of credit, or similar financial insurance
evidencing that the necessary funds are available for the obligations
established by this subparagraph.
(d) The obligations of Borrower and the rights
of Foothill with respect to Hazardous Materials are in addition to and not in
substitution of the obligations of Borrower and the rights of Foothill under
all applicable, federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances
relating to health and safety, and protection of the environment. The
obligations of Borrower and the rights of Foothill, notwithstanding anything
contained herein or in any other document or agreement which may be construed
to the contrary, (i) shall not be subject to any antideficiency laws or
protections, if any, (ii) shall survive (y) a non-judicial sale, judicial sale
or deed or other transaction in lieu of such sale hereunder, and (z) the
repayment of the Obligations. In the event Borrower does not timely perform any
of its obligations with respect to Hazardous Materials, Foothill may perform
such obligations, but is not obligated to, at the expense of Borrower and such
expense shall be added to the obligations and shall not cure Borrower's breach
under this Agreement.
6.19 Compliance With The ADA.
(a) Borrower shall promptly provide Foothill
with copies of all material claims which may be received by Borrower made by
any individual, entity, or governmental agency as to any alleged noncompliance
of the Real Property with the requirements of the ADA.
40
<PAGE> 46
(b) Borrower shall observe and comply in all
material respects with all obligations and requirements of the ADA as it
applies to the Real Property or future additional building improvements, which

installing or constructing all improvements or alterations which may be
necessary to cause the Real Property to be accessible to all persons if the use
of any of the Real Property or any part thereof becomes a "public
accommodation," as defined in the ADA, and making any reasonable accommodations
which may be necessary to accommodate the needs or requirements of any existing
or future employee of Borrower.
6.20 Second Lien. Borrower shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of Bankers Trust Company ("BT Co.") to
grant a second lien to Foothill on the real property covered by the mortgages

August, 1994, between Borrower and Motor Coach Industries, Inc., and its
assigns, (and continuance or renewal of any Permitted Liens associated
therewith) so long as: (i) the terms and conditions of such refinancings,
renewals, or extensions do not materially impair the prospects of repayment of
the Obligations by Borrower, (ii) such refinancings, renewals, refundings, or
extensions do not result in the average weighted maturity of the Indebtedness
so refinanced, renewed, or extended to be at or prior to the Maturity Date, and
(iii) to the extent that Indebtedness that is refinanced was subordinated in
right of payment to the Obligations, then the subordination terms and

its business as currently conducted); provided, however, that (i) so long as no

such sales are applied in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(ii), sale of real

authorized by Borrower:
(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced
by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise,

to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement, under any of the Loan
Documents, or under any other agreement between Borrower and Foothill;
(c) Terminate this Agreement and any of the
other Loan Documents as to any future liability or obligation of Foothill, but
without affecting Foothill's rights and security interests in the Collateral
and without affecting the Obligations;
(d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims
directly with Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms which Foothill
considers advisable, and in such cases,
48
<PAGE> 54
Foothill will credit Borrower's loan account with only the net amounts received
by Foothill in payment of such disputed Accounts after deducting all Foothill
Expenses incurred or expended in connection therewith;
(e) Without notice to or demand upon Borrower
or any guarantor, make such payments and do such acts as Foothill considers
necessary or reasonable to protect its security interests in the Collateral.
Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Foothill so requires, and to make
the Collateral available to Foothill as Foothill may designate. Borrower
authorizes Foothill to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to
take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay,
purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien that in
Foothill's determination appears to conflict with its security interests and to
pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of
Borrower's owned premises, Borrower hereby grants Foothill a license to enter
into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, for up
to one hundred twenty (120) days in order to exercise any of Foothill's rights
or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;
(f) Without notice to Borrower (such notice
being expressly waived), and without constituting a retention of any collateral
in satisfaction of an obligation (within the meaning of Section 9505 of the
Code), set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and
deposits of Borrower held by Foothill (including any amounts received in the
Lock Boxes), or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the
account of Borrower held by Foothill;
(g) Hold, as cash collateral, any and all
balances and deposits of Borrower held by Foothill, and any amounts received in
the Lock Boxes, to secure the full and final repayment of all of the unmatured
Obligations;
(h) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish,
maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner
provided for herein or in the Mortgages) the Collateral. Foothill is hereby
granted a license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower's labels,
patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names,
trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar
nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of,
advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and Borrower's rights under
all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Foothill's benefit;
(i) Sell the Collateral at either a public or
private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for
cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower's
premises) as Foothill determines is commercially reasonable. It is not
necessary that the Collateral be present at any such sale;
(j) Foothill shall give notice of the
disposition of the Collateral as follows:
49
<PAGE> 55
(1) Foothill shall give Borrower and
each holder of a security interest in the Collateral who has filed with
Foothill a written request for notice, a notice in writing of the time and
place of public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale or some other
disposition other than a public sale is to be made of the Collateral, then the
time on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made;
(2) The notice shall be personally
delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to Borrower as provided in Section 12, at
least five (5) days before the date fixed for the sale, or at least five (5)
days before the date on or after which the private sale or other disposition is
to be made; no notice needs to be given prior to the disposition of any portion
of the Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value
or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. Notice to
Persons other than Borrower claiming an interest in the Collateral shall be
sent to such addresses as they have furnished to Foothill;
(3) If the sale is to be a public
sale, Foothill also shall give notice of the time and place by publishing a
notice one time at least five (5) days before the date of the sale in a
newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the sale is to be held;
(k) Foothill may credit bid and purchase at
any public sale; and
(l) Any deficiency that exists after
disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by
Borrower. Any excess will be returned, without interest and subject to the
rights of third Persons, by Foothill to Borrower.
9.2 Remedies Cumulative. Foothill's rights and
remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements
shall be cumulative. Foothill shall have all other rights and remedies not
inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No
exercise by Foothill of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no
waiver by Foothill of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver.
No delay by Foothill shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by
it.
9.3 Foreclosure Not A Discharge. Foreclosure shall
not operate as a discharge to Borrower's Obligations to Foothill as to
Hazardous Materials and the indemnity provisions in Section 11.3; and in the
event Borrower tenders a deed in lieu of foreclosure for all or part of the
Real Property, Borrower shall deliver such property to Foothill (or its
designee) free of any and all Hazardous Materials. The indemnity provisions in
Section 11.3 shall not be discharged or affected in any way by foreclosure or
by Foothill's acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof, and the same shall continue
for a period equal to the longest living child born in Los Angeles County on
May 31, 1995, plus twenty-one (21) years.
50
<PAGE> 56
9.4 Release of Trust Monies. To the extent that any
monies retained by Foothill from collections or otherwise in respect of
Designated Payables do not constitute property of Borrower, Foothill agrees and
Borrower authorizes Foothill from and after an Event of Default, or at any time
that there is a delinquency in paying the Designated Payables, to segregate and
deliver such monies into a separate deposit account controlled by Borrower.
Any such repayment shall constitute an advance under Section 2.1 to the extent
such repayment was previously applied against the Obligations. Borrower agrees
to provide Foothill with accurate and complete reporting as frequently as
required by Foothill in order to correctly track the amount of such monies.
10. TAXES AND EXPENSES REGARDING THE COLLATERAL.
If Borrower fails to pay any monies (whether taxes, rents,
assessments, insurance premiums, or otherwise) due to third Persons, or fails
to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit, all
as required under the terms of this Agreement or the Mortgages, then, to the
extent that Foothill determines that such failure by Borrower could have a
material adverse effect on Foothill's interests in the Collateral, in its
discretion and without prior notice to Borrower, Foothill may do any or all of
the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof unless such
payment obligations are being contested by Borrower, in good faith, as
permitted by this Agreement; (b) set up such reserves in Borrower's loan
account as Foothill deems necessary to protect Foothill from the exposure
created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the
type described in Section 6.12, and take any action with respect to such
policies as Foothill deems prudent. Any such amounts paid by Foothill shall
constitute Foothill Expenses. Any such payments made by Foothill shall not
constitute an agreement by Foothill to make similar payments in the future or a
waiver by Foothill of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Foothill need
not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, security
interest, encumbrance, or lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for
the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due
and owing unless Borrower notifies Foothill as to the existence of a dispute
being contested as permitted by this Agreement.
11. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.
11.1 Demand; Protest; etc. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest,
notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any
default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or
renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at
any time held by Foothill on which Borrower may in any way be liable.
11.2 Foothill's Liability for Collateral. So long as
Foothill complies with its obligations, if any, under Section 9207 of the Code,
Foothill shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the
safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or
arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any
51
<PAGE> 57
diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier,
warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person. All risk of loss,
damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.
11.3 Indemnification. Borrower agrees to defend,
indemnify, save, and hold all Indemnified Persons harmless against: (a) all
obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other
Person arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (b) all Losses in any way suffered,
incurred, or paid by Foothill as a result of or in any way arising out of,
following, or consequential to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or any other Loan Document; and (c) all Losses (including attorneys' fees)
suffered or incurred by any Indemnified Person, regardless of negligence,
whether as a holder of security interests in Real Property, as mortgagee in
possession, or as successor in interest to Borrower as owner of the Real
Property by virtue of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed or other transaction
in lieu of foreclosure, or after partial or total reconveyance of the mortgage,
arising from, in respect of, as a consequence of (whether foreseeable or
unforeseeable) or in connection with the use, storage, disposal, generation,
transportation, spill, or treatment of any Hazardous Materials at or related to
the Real Property whether or not originating or emanating from the Real
Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to
indemnify any Indemnified Person for such Person's gross negligence or wilful
misconduct or any action by Foothill occurring after foreclosure. This
provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

defined herein shall be construed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Section 1.3. Effect of Definitions. The definitions set forth in Section
1.1 above shall apply equally to the singular, plural, adjectival, adverbial
and other forms of any of the words and phrases defined regardless of whether
they are capitalized.
ARTICLE 2. ADMINISTRATION.
Section 2.1. Committee. The Plan shall be administered by a committee of
the Board of Directors consisting of two or more Directors, each of whom is a
"disinterested person" as described in paragraph (C)(2)(i) of Rule 16b-3 and is
an "outside director" as described in Code Section 162(m) and the regulations
thereunder. Unless the Board of Directors designates another of its committees
to administer the Plan, the Plan shall be administered by a committee
consisting of those members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors who are disinterested persons and are outside directors, but, if the
Compensation Committee is abolished or its membership does not contain two
persons who comply with the requirements of the first sentence of this Section
2.1, the Board of Directors shall either reconstitute the Compensation
Committee in compliance with or create another Committee that complies with the
requirements of the first sentence of this Section 2.1 to administer the Plan.
The Committee may be referred to as the Stock Option Committee.
Section 2.2. Authority. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan and
in addition to the powers granted by other sections of the Plan, the Committee
has the authority, in its discretion, to: (a) determine the Participants, grant
Awards and determine their timing, pricing and amount; (b) define, prescribe,
amend and rescind rules, regulations, procedures, terms and conditions relating
to the Plan; (c) make all other determinations necessary or advisable for
administering the Plan, including, but not limited to, interpreting the Plan,
-4-
<PAGE> 5
correcting defects, reconciling inconsistencies and resolving ambiguities; and
(d) review and resolve all claims of Employees, Consultants, Grantees and
Participants. The actions and determinations of the Committee on matters
related to the Plan shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and all
Employees, Consultants, Grantees and Participants.
ARTICLE 3. SHARES.
Section 3.1. Number. The aggregate number of Shares in respect of which
Awards may be granted under the Plan shall not exceed 4,000,000 (which number
of Shares is hereby reserved for issuance under the Plan out of the authorized
but unissued Shares) of which no more than an aggregate of 600,000 may be
Shares of either Restricted Stock under Article 7 below or Unrestricted Stock
under Article 10 below.
Section 3.2. Cancellations. Except as otherwise provided in the next
sentence, if any Awards granted under the Plan are canceled, terminate or
expire for any reason without having been exercised or matured in full, or if
Stock Appreciation Rights are exercised for cash or if Performance Units are
paid in cash, the Shares related to the unexercised portion of an Award or to
the portion of a Stock Appreciation Right exercised for, or the Performance
Units paid in, cash shall be available again for the purposes of the Plan. If
any Shares acquired under the Plan are forfeited for any reason, the Shares
shall be available again for the purposes of the Plan. If any unexpired Option
granted hereunder is canceled in connection with the exercise of a Stock
Appreciation Right that is granted in tandem with such Option and is payable in
Shares, any Shares covered by the canceled Option shall not again become
available for the granting of Awards.
Section 3.3. Anti-Dilution.
(a) If the Shares are split or if a dividend of Shares is paid on the
Shares, the number of Shares on which each then outstanding Award is based and
the number of Shares as to which Awards may be granted under this Plan shall be
automatically increased by the ratio between the number of Shares outstanding
immediately after such event and the number of Shares outstanding immediately
before such event and the Exercise Price or Base Price thereof shall be
automatically decreased by the same ratio, and if the Shares are combined into
a lesser number of Shares, the number of Shares for which each then outstanding
Award is based and the number of Shares as to which Awards may be granted under
the Plan shall be automatically decreased by such ratio and the Exercise Price
or Base Price thereof shall be automatically increased by such ratio.
(b) In the event of any other change in the Shares, through
recapitalization, merger, consolidation or exchange of shares or otherwise,
there shall automatically be substituted for each Share subject to an
unexercised Award and each Share available for additional grants of Awards, the
number and kind of shares or other securities into which each outstanding Share
was changed, and the Exercise Price or Base Price shall be increased or
decreased proportionally so that the aggregate Exercise Price or Base Price for
the securities subject to each Award shall remain the same as immediately
before such event; and the Committee may make such further equitable
adjustments in the Plan and the then outstanding Awards as are both (i) allowed
by Section 162(m) of the Code and the
-5-
<PAGE> 6
regulations thereunder and (ii) deemed necessary and appropriate by the
Committee including, but not limited to, changing the number of Shares reserved
under the Plan or covered by outstanding Awards, the Exercise Price or Base
Price of outstanding Awards and the vesting conditions of outstanding Awards.
Section 3.4. Source. Except as otherwise determined by the Board of
Directors, the Shares issued under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued
Shares. However, Shares which are to be delivered under the Plan may be
obtained by the Company from its treasury, by purchases on the open market or
from private sources, or by issuing authorized but unissued Shares. The
proceeds of the exercise of any Award shall be general corporate funds of the
Company. No Shares may be sold under any Option Agreement or Restricted Stock
Purchase Agreement for less than the par value thereof. No fractional Shares
shall be issued or sold under the Plan nor will any cash payment be made in
lieu of fractional Shares.
Section 3.5. Rights of a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in any
Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, no Grantee or other person claiming under
or through any Grantee shall have any right, title or interest in or to any
Shares allocated or reserved under the Plan or subject to any Award except as
to such Shares, if any, for which certificates representing such Shares have
been issued to such Grantee.
Section 3.6. Securities Laws. No Award shall be exercised nor shall any
Shares or other securities be issued or transferred pursuant to an Award unless
and until all applicable requirements imposed by federal and state securities
laws and by any stock exchanges upon which the Shares may be listed, have been
fully complied with. As a condition precedent to the exercise of an Award or
the issuance of Shares pursuant to the grant or exercise of an Award, the
Company may require the Grantee to take any reasonable action to meet such
requirements including providing undertakings as to the investment intent of
the Grantee, accepting transfer restrictions on the Shares issuable thereunder
and providing opinions of counsel, in form and substance acceptable to the
Company, as to the availability of exemptions from such requirements.

<PAGE> 7
ARTICLE 5. EMPLOYEES STOCK OPTIONS.
Section 5.1. Determinations. The Committee shall determine which eligible
Employees shall be granted Options, the number of Shares for which the Options
may be exercised (subject to Section 11.1), the times when they shall receive
them and the terms and conditions of individual Option grants (which need not
be identical).
Section 5.2. Exercise Price. The Committee shall determine the Exercise
Price of each Option at the time that it is granted, but in no event shall the
Exercise Price of an Option be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on
the Date of Grant. If no express determination of the Exercise Price of an
Option is made by the Committee, the Exercise Price thereof is equal to the
Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant.
Section 5.3. Term. Subject to the rule set forth in the next sentence,
the Committee shall determine the times when an Option vests and the term
during which an Option is exercisable at the time that it is granted. No
Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the Date of
Grant. If no express determination of the times when Options are exercisable
is made by the Committee:
(a) each Option shall vest and first become exercisable (subject to the
rule set forth in Section 5.4(c) below) as to 25% of the Shares subject to
such Option on each of the first four anniversaries of the Date of Grant
provided the Participant has been an Employee continuously during the time
beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the date when such portion
vests and first becomes exercisable; and
(b) each Option shall lapse and cease to be exercisable upon the earliest
of:
(i) the expiration of ten years from the Date of Grant,
(ii) subject to the rule set forth in Section 5.4(d) below, six months
after the Participant ceases to be an Employee because of death or
disability,
(iii) 30 days after the termination without cause of Participants
employment with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company
by the Company or any such Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, or
(iv) immediately upon termination of the Participant s employment with
the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary by the Company or any such
Parent or Subsidiary of the Company for cause or by the Participants
resignation.
Where both an Incentive Stock Option and a Nonqualified Option are granted, the
number of Shares which become exercisable under clause (a) of the previous
sentence at any time shall be calculated on the basis of the total of the
Shares subject to both Options and the Options shall become exercisable as to
that number of Shares first under the Incentive Stock Option and then under the
Nonqualified Option, unless the rule set forth in Section 5.4(c) below would
defer the exercisability of such Incentive Stock Option, in which case such
Nonqualified Options shall become exercisable first. Notwithstanding the terms
-7-
<PAGE> 8
of any Option, the preceding sentence, and Section 5.4, all Options that have
not previously been exercised nor lapsed and ceased to be exercisable, shall
vest fully and become exercisable upon the occurrence of any Change in Control.
Section 5.4. Incentive Stock Options.
(a) The Committee shall determine whether any Option is an Incentive
Stock Option or a Nonqualified Option at the time that it is granted and, if no
express determination is made by the Committee, all Options shall be
Nonqualified Options.
(b) If the Committee grants Incentive Stock Options, they shall be on
such terms and conditions as may be necessary to render them "incentive stock
options" pursuant to Section 422 of the Code.
(c) The aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares, determined as of
the time the Option is granted, which first become exercisable under all
Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan or any other plan of the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, shall not exceed $100,000
during any calendar year and, if the foregoing limit would be exceeded in any
given calendar year by the terms of any Incentive Stock Option granted
hereunder, the exercisability of such portion of such Option as would exceed
such limit shall be deferred to the first day of the next calendar year and if
such excess involves more than one Option, the exercisability of the most
recently granted Option shall be deferred first.
(d) If the employment of a Participant, who holds an ISO, with the
Company is terminated because of a "disability" (within the meaning of Section
22(e)(3) of the Code), the unexercised portion of the ISO may be exercised only
within six months after the date on which employment was terminated, and only
to the extent that such Participant could have otherwise exercised such ISO as
of the date of termination. If a Participant, who holds an ISO, dies while
employed by the Company (or within six months after termination of employment
by reason of a disability or within 30 days after termination of employment
without cause), the unexercised portion of the ISO at the time of death may be
exercised only within six months after the date of death, and only to the
extent that the Participant could have otherwise exercised such ISO at the time
of death. In such event, such ISO may be exercised by the executor or
administrator of the Participant s estate or by anyone who has acquired it from
the Participant by bequest or inheritance.
(e) No Ten Percent Stockholder shall be granted an Incentive Stock
Option unless, at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted, the Exercise
Price thereof is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date
of Grant and the Incentive Stock Option by its terms is not exercisable after
the expiration of five years from the Date of Grant.
(f) If a Grantee exercises an Incentive Stock Option and disposes of
any of the Shares received by such Grantee as a result of such exercise within
two years from the Date of Grant or within one year after the issuance of such
Shares to such Grantee upon such exercise, such Grantee shall notify the
Company of such disposition and the consideration received as a result thereof
and pay or provide for the withholding taxes on such disposition as required by
Section 11.3 below.
-8-
<PAGE> 9
(g) An Option that is designated as a Nonqualified Option under this
Plan shall not be treated as an "incentive stock option" as such term is
defined in Section 422(b) of the Code.
Section 5.5. Exercise. An Option shall be exercised by the delivery of
the Option Agreement therefor with the notice of exercise attached thereto
properly completed and duly executed by the Grantee named therein to the
Treasurer of the Company, together with the aggregate Exercise Price for the
number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised and the SAR
Agreement for any Stock Appreciation Right that is in tandem with the Option
being exercised, after the Option has become exercisable and before it has
ceased to be exercisable. An Option may be exercised as to less than all of
the Shares purchasable thereunder, but not for a fractional share. No Option
may be exercised as to less than 50 Shares unless it is exercised as to all of
the Shares then available thereunder. The Committee may, in its sole
discretion, and upon such terms and conditions as it shall determine at or
after the Date of Grant, permit the Exercise Price to be paid in cash, by the
tender to the Company of Shares owned by the Grantee or by a combination
thereof. If the Committee does not make such determination, the Exercise Price
shall be paid in cash. If any portion of the Exercise Price of an Option is
payable in cash, it may be paid by (a) delivery of a certified or cashier s
check payable to the order of the Company in such amount, or (b) wire transfer
of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company. If
any portion of the Exercise Price of an Option is payable in Shares it may be
paid by delivery of certificates representing a number of Shares having a total
fair market value on the date of exercise equal to or greater than the required
amount, duly endorsed for transfer with all signatures guaranteed by a
medallion signature guarantee. If more Shares than are necessary to pay such
Exercise Price based on their fair market value on the date of exercise are
delivered to the Company, it shall return to the Grantee a certificate for the
balance of the whole number of Shares and a check payable to the order of the
Grantee for any fraction of a Share. Shares may not be delivered to the
Company as payment for the exercise of an Option if such Shares have been owned
by the Grantee (together with his or her decedent or testator) for less than
six months or if the disposition of such Shares would require the giving of a
notice under Section 5.4(f) above. Promptly after an Option is properly
exercised, the Company shall issue to the Grantee a certificate representing
the Shares purchased thereunder.
Section 5.6. Option Agreement. Promptly after the Date of Grant,
Greyhound shall duly execute and deliver to the Grantee an Option Agreement
setting forth the terms of the Option. Option Agreements are not negotiable
instruments or securities (as such term is defined in Article 8 of the Uniform
Commercial Code). Lost and destroyed Option Agreements may be replaced without
bond.
Section 5.7. New Hires. A person to whom the Company is offering
employment may be granted a Nonqualified Option under this Article 5, but any
such grant shall lapse if the person does not subsequently become an Employee
pursuant to such offer.

<PAGE> 10
ARTICLE 6. CONSULTANTS STOCK OPTIONS.
Section 6.1. Determinations. The Committee shall determine which eligible
Consultants shall be granted Options, the number of Shares for which the
Options may be exercised, the times when they shall receive them and the terms
and conditions of individual Option grants (which need not be identical).
Section 6.2. Exercise Price. The Committee shall determine the Exercise
Price of each Option at the time that it is granted, but in no event shall the
Exercise Price of an Option be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on
the Date of Grant. If no express determination of the Exercise Price of an
Option is made by the Committee, the Exercise Price thereof is equal to the
Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant.
Section 6.3. Term. Subject to the rule set forth in the next sentence,
the Committee shall determine the times when an Option vests and the term
during which an Option is exercisable at the time that it is granted. No
Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the Date of
Grant. If no express determination of the times when Options are exercisable
is made by the Committee:
(a) each Option shall vest and first become exercisable as to 25% of the
Shares subject to such Option on each of the first four anniversaries of
the Date of Grant provided the Participant s consulting relationship with
the Company has not been terminated either (i) by the Consultant s death or
disability, (ii) by the Company for cause, or (iii) by the Consultant s
resignation on or before the date when such portion vests and first becomes
exercisable; and
(b) each Option shall lapse and cease to be exercisable upon the earliest
of:
(i) the expiration of ten years from the Date of Grant,
(ii) six months after the Participant ceases to be a Consultant
because of death or disability, or
(iii) immediately upon termination of the Participant s consulting
relation with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company
by the Company or any such Parent or Subsidiary for cause or by the
Participants resignation (but not upon termination of the relation by
reason of successful completion of the consulting project).
Notwithstanding the terms of any Option, all Options that have not previously
been exercised nor lapsed and ceased to be exercisable, shall vest fully and
become exercisable upon the occurrence of any Change in Control.
Section 6.4. Not Incentive Stock Options. An Option under this Article 6
shall not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option.
Section 6.5. Exercise. An Option shall be exercised by the delivery of
the Option Agreement therefor with the notice of exercise attached thereto
properly completed and duly executed by the Grantee named therein to the
Treasurer of the Company, together with the aggregate Exercise Price for the
number of Shares as
-10-
<PAGE> 11
to which the Option is being exercised, after the Option has become exercisable
and before it has ceased to be exercisable. An Option may be exercised as to
less than all of the Shares purchasable thereunder but not for a fractional
Share. No Option may be exercised as to less than 50 Shares unless it is
exercised as to all of the Shares then available thereunder. The Committee
may, in its sole discretion, and upon such terms and conditions as it shall
determine at or after the Date of Grant, permit the Exercise Price to be paid
in cash, by the tender to the Company of Shares owned by the Grantee or by a
combination thereof. If the Committee does not make such determination, the
Exercise Price shall be paid in cash. If any portion of the Exercise Price of
an Option is payable in cash, it may be paid by (a) delivery of a certified or
cashier s check payable to the order of the Company in such amount, or (b) wire
transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the
Company. If any portion of the Exercise Price of an Option is payable in
Shares, it may be paid by delivery of certificates representing a number of
Shares having a total fair market value on the date of exercise equal to or
greater than the required amount, duly endorsed for transfer with all
signatures guaranteed by a medallion signature guarantee. If more Shares than
are necessary to pay such Exercise Price based on their fair market value on
the date of exercise are delivered to the Company, it shall return to the
Grantee a certificate for the balance of the whole number of Shares and a check
payable to the order of the Grantee for any fraction of a Share. Shares may
not be delivered to the Company as payment for the exercise of an Option if
such Shares have been owned by the Grantee (together with his or her decedent
or testator) for less than six months. Promptly after an Option is properly
exercised, the Company shall issue to the Grantee a certificate representing
the Shares purchased thereunder.
Section 6.6. Option Agreement. Promptly after the Date of Grant,
Greyhound shall duly execute and deliver to the Grantee an Option Agreement
setting forth the terms of the Option. Option Agreements are neither
negotiable instruments nor securities (as such term is defined in Article 8 of
the Uniform Commercial Code). Lost and destroyed Option Agreements may be
replaced without bond.
Section 6.7. Article 5. The provisions of Article 5 above shall not apply
to Options granted under this Article 6.
ARTICLE 7. RESTRICTED STOCK.
Section 7.1. Determinations. The Committee shall determine which eligible
Employees may purchase Restricted Stock, the number of shares of Restricted
Stock each eligible Employee may purchase (subject to Section 11.1), the times
when they may purchase Restricted Stock, the parameters of the performance
goals, if any, and the vesting and forfeiture provisions of the Restricted
Stock and the purchase price of the Restricted Stock. Notwithstanding the
terms of any Award granted under this Section 7, all shares of Restricted Stock
that have not previously been forfeited shall vest fully and become
transferable upon the occurrence of any Change in Control.
Section 7.2. Agreements. Once the Committee has made the determinations
required by Section 7.1 above with respect to any Participant, the appropriate
officers of the Company shall enter into a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement
with the Participant setting forth the terms determined by the Committee. No
Participant shall have any right to purchase Restricted Stock, hold Restricted
-11-
<PAGE> 12
Stock, or exercise any rights as a stockholder of the Company unless and until
he or she has executed and delivered an appropriately completed form of
Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement to the Company and the Company has
delivered a counterpart thereof, executed by an appropriate officer of the
Company, to the Participant. Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements are neither
negotiable instruments nor securities (as such term is defined in Article 8 of
the Uniform Commercial Code). Lost and destroyed Restricted Stock Purchase
Agreements may be replaced without bond.
ARTICLE 8. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
Section 8.1. Determinations. The Committee shall determine which
Participants shall receive Stock Appreciation Rights, the times when they shall
receive them, the number of Shares to which each Stock Appreciation Right
relates (subject to Section 11.1), whether or not a Stock Appreciation Right is
to be in tandem with an Option, and the terms and conditions of individual
Stock Appreciation Right grants (which need not be identical).
Section 8.2. Tandem Grants.
(a) A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted in tandem with an
Option, either at the time of grant or at any time thereafter during the term
of the Option, or may be granted unrelated to an Option. A Stock Appreciation
Right granted to an individual Participant at the same time as the grant of an
Option shall be deemed to be in tandem with such Option unless the Committee
expressly provides otherwise.
(b) The exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right tandem to an Option
shall cancel the related Option with respect to the number of Shares as to
which such Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. The exercise of an Option
granted in tandem with a Stock Appreciation Right shall cancel the related
Stock Appreciation Right with respect to the number of Shares as to which such
Option is exercised.
(c) Except as otherwise provided by the Committee at the time it is
granted, a Stock Appreciation Right tandem to an Option will be exercisable at
such times as, and only to the extent that, the related Option is exercisable.
Notwithstanding the terms of any Stock Appreciation Right tandem to an Option,
all Stock Appreciation Rights shall vest fully and become exercisable upon the
occurrence of a Change in Control.
(d) Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right tandem to an
Option, the Grantee will be entitled to receive payment of an amount determined
by multiplying:
(i) The excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of
exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right over the Exercise Price of the
related Option, by
(ii) The number of Shares as to which such Stock Appreciation
Right has been exercised.
-12-
<PAGE> 13
Section 8.3. Stock Appreciation Rights Not in Tandem with Option.
(a) The Committee shall determine the Exercise Price of each Stock
Appreciation Right that is not in tandem with an Option at the time of the
granting of the Stock Appreciation Right, but in no event shall the Exercise
Price be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant of
such Stock Appreciation Right. If no express determination of the Exercise
Price of a Stock Appreciation Right that is not in tandem with an Option is
made by the Committee, the Exercise Price thereof is equal to the Fair Market
Value of a Share on the Date of Grant.
(b) Subject to the rule set forth in the next sentence, the Committee
shall determine the times when a Stock Appreciation Right that is not in tandem
with an Option vests and the term during which a Stock Appreciation Right that
is not in tandem with an Option is exercisable. No such Stock Appreciation
Right shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the Date of
Grant. If no express determination of the times when a Stock Appreciation
Right that is not in tandem with an Option is exercisable is made by the
Committee:
(i) each such Stock Appreciation Right shall vest and first become
exercisable as to 25% of the Shares subject to such Stock
Appreciation Right on each of the first four anniversaries of the
Date of Grant provided the Participant has been an Employee
continuously during the time beginning on the Date of Grant and
ending on the date when such portion of such Stock Appreciation
Right vests and first becomes exercisable; and
(ii) each such Stock Appreciation Right shall lapse and cease to
be exercisable upon the earliest of:
(A) the expiration of ten years from the Date of Grant,
(B) six months after the Participant ceases to be an Employee
because of death or disability,
(C) 30 days after a termination without cause of the
Participant's employment with the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company by the Company or any such Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company, or
(D) immediately upon termination of the Participant's
employment with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the
Company by the Company or any such Parent or Subsidiary for
cause or by the Participant's resignation.
Notwithstanding the terms of any Stock Appreciation Right, all Stock
Appreciation Rights shall vest fully and become exercisable upon the occurrence
of a Change in Control.
-13-
<PAGE> 14
(c) A Stock Appreciation Right not in tandem with an Option will
entitle the Grantee, upon exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right, to receive
payment of an amount determined by multiplying:
(i) The excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of
exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right over the Exercise Price thereof, by
(ii) The number of Shares as to which such Stock Appreciation
Right has been exercised.
Section 8.4. Exercise. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercised by
the delivery of the SAR Agreement therefor with the notice of exercise attached
thereto properly completed and duly executed by the Grantee named therein to
the Secretary or the Treasurer of the Company together with the Option
Agreement for any Option that is in tandem with such Stock Appreciation Right
after it has become exercisable and before it has ceased to be exercisable. A
Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised as to less than all of the Shares to
which it relates but not as to a fractional Share. No Stock Appreciation Right
may be exercised as to less than 50 Shares unless it is exercised as to all of
the Shares then available thereunder.
Section 8.5. Limitations. The Committee may place limitations on the
amount payable upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right. Any such
limitation must be determined as of the Date of Grant. The Committee may
impose such additional conditions or limitations on the exercise of a Stock
Appreciation Right as it may deem necessary or desirable to secure for Grantees
of Stock Appreciation Rights the benefits of Rule 16b-3, or as it may otherwise
deem advisable.
Section 8.6. Payment. Payment to the Grantee of the amount realized upon
exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right may be made, in the sole discretion of
the Committee unless otherwise provided in the grant thereof, in cash, whole
Shares valued at the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise of
the Stock Appreciation Right, or a combination thereof. Such payment shall be
made promptly after the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right. If a Stock
Appreciation Right is payable in Shares and the amount payable results in a
fractional Share, no fractional Share may be issued nor may any cash payment be
made in lieu of such fractional Share.
Section 8.7. Officers and Directors. Stock Appreciation Rights of which a
Grantee who is an Officer or Director at the time of exercise may be exercised
only during the period beginning on the third business day following the date
of release for publication of the Company's regular quarterly or annual summary
statement of sales and earnings (assuming such financial data appears on a wire
service, in a financial news service, or in a newspaper of general circulation,
or is otherwise made publicly available) and ending on the twelfth business day
following such date.
Section 8.8. SAR Agreement. Promptly after the Date of Grant, Greyhound
shall duly execute and deliver to the Grantee an SAR Agreement setting forth
the terms of the SAR. No term that does not vary from those set forth in this
Plan need be set forth in an SAR Agreement. SAR Agreements are not negotiable
instruments or securities (as such term is defined in Article 8 of the Uniform
Commercial Code). Lost and destroyed SAR Agreements may be replaced without
-14-
<PAGE> 15
bond.
ARTICLE 9. PERFORMANCE UNITS.
Section 9.1. Determinations. The Committee shall determine which
Participants shall receive Performance Units, the times when they shall receive
them, the number of Shares to which each Performance Unit relates (subject to
Section 11.1), and the terms and conditions of individual Performance Unit
grants (which need not be identical).
Section 9.2. Grants.
(a) The Committee shall determine the Base Price of each Performance
Unit at the time of the granting of the Performance Unit. The Base Price may
not be less than zero dollars. If no express determination of the Base Price
of a Performance Unit is made by the Committee, the Base Price thereof shall
equal zero dollars.
(b) Subject to the rule set forth in the next sentence, the Committee
shall set performance goals to be met over a period (the "Performance Period")
specified by the Committee and shall determine any vesting provisions. No such
Performance Unit shall mature after the expiration of ten years from the Date
of Grant. If no express determination of the times when a Performance Unit
vests and matures is made by the Committee, each such Performance Unit shall
vest and mature on the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the Date of
Grant or (ii) the date the Participant ceases to be an Employee because of
death or disability, provided, in either case, that the Performance Units have
not previously lapsed or matured and that the Participant has been an Employee
continuously during the time beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the
date when such Performance Unit matures. If the employment of a Participant is
terminated by reason of death or disability or retirement during a Performance
Period, the Participant shall receive a prorated payout of the Performance
Units. The prorated payout shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall be based upon the length of time that the Participant held
the Performance Units during the Performance Period, and shall further be
adjusted based on the achievement of the preestablished performance goals.
Payment of such Performance Units shall be made at the same time as payments
are made to Participants who did not terminate employment during the applicable
Performance Period. Notwithstanding the terms of any Performance Unit, all
Performance Units which have not previously lapsed or matured shall mature upon
the occurrence of a Change in Control. The number of Shares as to which a
Performance Unit maturing upon a Change in Control is paid shall be reduced by
the ratio between the number of full calendar months elapsed between the Date
of Grant and the date of the Change in Control and the total number of calendar
months which would have elapsed between the Date of Grant and the original
maturity date in the absence of death or disability.
(c) The Committee will determine the amount or formula for
determining the amount to be paid out on the Performance Unit at the end of the
Performance Period (subject to Section 11.1).
(d) At the sole discretion of the Committee, Participants may be
granted the right to receive amounts equal to or formulated in relation to
dividends declared with respect to that number of Shares which have been earned
but not yet
-15-
<PAGE> 16
distributed under any Performance Unit (such dividends may be, in the
discretion of the Committee, subject to the same accrual, forfeiture, and
payout restrictions as may apply to dividends earned with respect to Shares of
Restricted Stock, if any).
Section 9.3. Limitations. The Committee may place limitations on the
amount payable on a Performance Unit. Any such limitation must be determined
as of the Date of Grant. The Committee may impose such additional conditions
or limitations on the maturity of a Performance Unit as it may deem necessary
or desirable to secure for Grantees of Performance Units the benefits of Rule
16b-3, or as it may otherwise deem advisable.
Section 9.4. Payment. Payment to the Grantee of the amount realized at
the end of the Performance Period may be made, in the sole discretion of the
Committee unless otherwise provided in the grant thereof, in cash, whole Shares
valued at the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of maturity of the
Performance Unit, or a combination thereof. Such payment shall be made as
promptly as reasonably practicable after the last day of the Performance Period
and the determination by the Company of whether the applicable performance
goals have been met. If a Performance Unit is payable in Shares and the amount
payable results in a fractional Share, no fractional Share may be issued nor
may any cash payment be made in lieu of such fractional Share.
Section 9.5. Performance Unit Agreement. Promptly after the Date of
Grant, Greyhound shall duly execute and deliver to the Grantee a Performance
Unit Agreement setting forth the terms of the Performance Unit. No term that
does not vary from those set forth in this Plan need be set forth in a
Performance Unit Agreement. Performance Unit Agreements are not negotiable
instruments or securities (as such term is defined in Article 8 of the Uniform
Commercial Code). Lost and destroyed Performance Unit Agreements may be
replaced without bond.
ARTICLE 10. UNRESTRICTED STOCK.
The Committee shall determine which eligible Employees will receive
Unrestricted Stock, the number of shares of Unrestricted Stock each eligible
Employee will receive (subject to Section 11.1), the times when each eligible
Employee shall receive Unrestricted Stock, and the terms and conditions of
individual Unrestricted Stock Awards (which need not be identical). Promptly
after the grant of an Award of Unrestricted Stock, the Company shall issue to
the Grantee a certificate representing the Shares received thereunder. The
Committee shall grant Awards of Unrestricted Stock in consideration for
services rendered by the Participant which are deemed by the Committee to have
a value to the Company in excess of the par value of the Shares so awarded.
ARTICLE 11. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL TYPES OF AWARDS.
Section 11.1. Maximum Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Plan, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted
during any fiscal year of the Company to any Employee shall be 500,000 Shares.
In addition, the maximum aggregate cash payout granted to any Grantee in any
fiscal year of the Company with respect to such Grantee s Performance Units or
receipt of Restricted Stock shall not exceed $1,000,000.
-16-
<PAGE> 17
Section 11.2. Corporate Mergers and Acquisitions. The Committee may grant
Awards having terms and conditions which vary from those specified in the Plan
if such Awards are granted in substitution for, or in connection with the
assumption of, existing options granted by another business entity and assumed
or otherwise agreed to be provided for by Greyhound pursuant to or by reason of
a transaction involving a merger or consolidation of or acquisition of
substantially all of the assets or stock of another business entity that is not
a Subsidiary of Greyhound prior to such acquisition, with or by Greyhound or
its Subsidiaries.
Section 11.3. Withholding. The Company shall have the right to withhold
from any payments due under any Award or due to any Grantee from the Company as
compensation or otherwise the amounts of any federal, state or local
withholding taxes not paid by the Grantee at the time of the exercise or
vesting of any Award or upon a disposition of Shares received upon the exercise
of an Incentive Stock Option. If cash payments sufficient to allow for
withholding of taxes are not made at the time of exercise or vesting of an
Award, the Grantee exercising such Award shall pay to Greyhound an amount equal
to the withholding required to be made less the withholding otherwise made in
cash or, if allowed by the Committee in its discretion and pursuant to rules
adopted by the Committee consistent with Section 5.5 above, Shares previously
owned by the Grantee. The Company may make such other provisions as it deems
appropriate to withhold any taxes the Company determines are required to be
withheld in connection with the exercise of any Award or upon a disqualifying
disposition of Shares received upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option,
including, but not limited to, the withholding of Shares from an Award upon
such terms and conditions as the Committee may provide. The Company may
require the Participant to satisfy any relevant withholding requirements before
issuing Shares or delivering any Award to the Participant.
Section 11.4. Disability. If a Grantee who is an Employee with the
Company is absent from work with the Company because of a physical or mental
disability, for purposes of the Plan, such Grantee will not be considered to
have ended his or her employment with the Company while such Grantee has that
disability, unless he or she resigns or the Committee decides otherwise.
ARTICLE 12. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
Section 12.1. No Right to Employment. Nothing in the Plan or any Award or
any instrument executed pursuant to the Plan will confer upon any Participant
any right to continue to be employed by or provide services to the Company or
affect the right of the Company to terminate the employment of any Participant
or its other relationship with any Participant.
Section 12.2. Limited Liability. The liability of the Company under this
Plan or in connection with any exercise of any Award is limited to the
obligations expressly set forth in the Plan and in the grant of any Award, and
no term or provision of this Plan nor of any Award shall be construed to impose
any duty, obligation or liability on the Company not expressly set forth in the
Plan or any grant of any Award.
Section 12.3. Assumption of Awards. Upon the dissolution or liquidation
of the Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the
Company with one or more other entities as a result of which the Company is not
the
-17-

surviving entity, or upon a sale of substantially all the assets of the Company
to another entity, any Awards outstanding theretofore granted or sold hereunder
must be assumed by the surviving or purchasing entity, with appropriate
adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and price. Nothing in this
Section 12.3 shall be deemed to alter or supersede any provision of the Plan
relating to the vesting or maturity of Awards upon a Change in Control.
Section 12.4. No Transfer. No Award or other benefit under the Plan may
be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution; and no Award may be exercised during the life of the
Participant to whom it was granted except by such Participant.
Section 12.5. Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the administration of the Plan including any excise tax imposed upon the
transfer of Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Award shall be borne by the
Company.

permitted to be made under the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given if personally delivered or if sent by first class mail
addressed (a) if to a Grantee, at his or her residence address set forth in the
records of the Company or (b) if to the Company, to its President at its
principal executive office.
Section 12.7. Third Parties. Nothing herein expressed or implied is
intended or shall be construed to give any person other than the Grantees any
rights or remedies under this Plan.
Section 12.8. Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. Where this Plan authorizes
or requires a payment or performance on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday,
such payment or performance shall be deemed to be timely if made on the next
succeeding business day; provided, however, that this Section 12.8 shall not be
construed to extend the ten year period referred to in Sections 5.3, 6.3, 8.3
and 9.2 above or the five year period referred to in Section 5.4(e) above.

the Plan more than ten years after the Effective Date. The Board of Directors

may deem advisable; provided, however, that no amendment shall be effective
without the approval of the stockholders of the Company by the affirmative vote
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares present, or represented,
and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders duly held, if it were to:
(a) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under
the Plan;
(b) materially increase the number of Shares which may be issued
under the Plan; or
(c) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for
participation in the Plan;
and, further, provided, however, that no amendment or termination of the Plan
shall be effective to materially alter or impair the rights of a Grantee under
any Award made before the adoption of such amendment or termination by the
Board of Directors, without the written consent of such Grantee. No
termination or amendment of this Plan or any Award nor waiver of any right or
requirement under this Plan or any Award shall be binding on the Company unless

number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised, after the Option
has become exercisable and before it has ceased to be exercisable. An Option
may be exercised as to less than all of the Shares purchasable thereunder but
not for a fractional Share. No Option may be exercised as to less than 50
Shares unless it is exercised as to all of the Shares then available
thereunder. The Exercise Price shall be paid in cash by (a) delivery of a
certified or cashier s check payable to the order of the Company in such
amount, or (b) wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account

right to continue to be a Director of the Company or affect the right of the
stockholders to terminate the directorship of any Participant.

Company with one or more other entities as a result of which the Company is not
the surviving entity, or upon a sale of substantially all the assets of the
Company to another entity, any Options outstanding theretofore granted or sold
hereunder must be assumed by the surviving or purchasing entity, with

any Option made before the adoption of such amendment or termination by the
Board of Directors, without the written consent of such Grantee. No
termination or amendment of this Plan or any Option nor waiver of any right or
requirement under this Plan or any Option shall be binding on the Company
unless it is in a writing duly entered into its records and executed by a duly
authorized Officer. The provisions of this Plan setting forth the formulae
that determine the Exercise Price of Options granted hereunder, the number of
Shares as to which they are exercisable, the times when they are granted and

the holders of the Company's voting securities are persons who were
not nominated by the Company's then current Board of Directors or an
authorized committee thereof;
(3) the approval by the stockholders of the Company of a
merger or consolidation with another person, other than a merger or
consolidation in which the holders of the Company's voting securities
issued and outstanding immediately before such merger or consolidation

taxation in his filing status for the calendar year in which the Payment is to

Control. The determination of whether such Excise Tax is payable and the
amount of such Excise Tax shall be based upon the opinion of tax counsel
selected by the Company subject to the approval of the Executive. If such
opinion is not finally accepted by the Internal Revenue Service, then
appropriate adjustments shall be calculated (with Gross Up, if applicable) by
such tax counsel based upon the final amount of Excise Tax so determined. The

of all restrictions (except those imposed by law), legends and stop transfer

7. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: The parties acknowledge and agree
that this Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the written
consent of the other party. In the event of a "Change of Control" as

<PAGE> 14
performance of its obligations and the payment of its liabilities under this
Agreement, regardless of whether such obligations or liabilities accrued or
accrue before, after or as a result of such assignment, and regardless of
whether such obligations or liabilities are or were assumed by any successor or
assignee. In the event of the Executive's death, this Agreement shall be
enforceable by the Executive's estate, executors or legal representatives, but
only to the extent that such persons may collect any compensation (including
stock options) due to the Executive under this Agreement.
8. INDEMNIFICATION: During and after the employment of the Executive
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify the Executive against
all judgments, penalties, fines, assessments, losses, amounts paid in
settlement and reasonable expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys'
fees) for which the Executive may become liable as a result of his performance
of his duties and responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement, and pursuant to
his duties and responsibilities as a Trustee of the Greyhound Lines, Inc. -
Amalgamated Council Retirement and Disability Trust, to the fullest extent
permissible under the laws of the State of Delaware. In addition, the Company
agrees to purchase liability insurance for any such judgments, penalties,
fines, assessments, losses, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses
(including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees) for which the Executive may
become liable as a result of his performance of his duties and responsibilities
pursuant to this Agreement in an amount not less than the amount of director
and officer liability insurance in effect on the Effective Date of this
Agreement, and consistent with coverage provided to other officers of the
Company.
9. NON-COMPETITION AND NON-DISCLOSURE: The Company and the Executive
agree as follows:
a. During and after his employment by the Company, the Executive
agrees that he shall not directly or indirectly disclose any Confidential
Information, as defined in this section, unless such disclosure is: (i) to an
employee of the Company or its subsidiaries; or (ii) to a person to whom
disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the
performance of his duties as an executive of the Company; or (iii) authorized
in writing by the Board of Directors; or (iv) required by any Court or
administrative agency.
b. In the event that this Agreement is terminated for any reason,
the Executive agrees that he shall promptly return all records, files,
documents, materials and copies relating to the business of the Company or its
subsidiaries which came into the possession of the Executive during his
employment pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this
section shall be construed as any limitation on the Executive's right to retain
any documents or other information which was in the possession of the Executive
prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement.
c. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Confidential
Information" shall be defined as any information relating to the business of
the Company or its subsidiaries which is not generally available to the public
and which the Company takes affirmative steps to maintain
14
<PAGE> 15
as confidential. The term shall not include any information that the Executive
was aware of prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, information that is
a matter of any public record, information contained in any document filed or
submitted to any governmental entity, any information that is common knowledge
in any industry in which the Company does business, any information that has
previously been made available to persons who are not employees of the Company
or any information that is known to the Company's competitors.
d. Both the Company and the Executive recognize that in his
employment at the Company, the Executive will be provided with Confidential
Information, as defined above. Both the Company and the Executive recognize
that the disclosure of such Confidential Information to a competitor of the
Company could place the Company at a competitive disadvantage. Accordingly, in
consideration of the Company agreeing to provide Confidential Information to
him, and to prevent the disclosure or use of such information to the
competitive disadvantage of the Company, the parties agree that in the event
that the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated as a result of
either: (i) Notice of Termination for Good Cause or Notice of Non-Renewal for
Good Cause, as defined in Section 2(c)(3); or (ii) the resignation of the
Executive "Without Good Reason," as defined by Section 2(c)(5), the Executive
covenants and agrees not to compete with the Company for twelve (12) calendar
months subsequent to such termination, non- renewal or resignation from
employment, in the business of providing inter-city transport of passengers or
cargo by automobile or motorbus in any city in which the Company engaged in
such business during the twelve (12) calendar months prior to such termination,
non-renewal or resignation. This provision shall not apply in the event that
the employment of the Executive is terminated for any reason other than "Good
Cause" or in the event of a "Resignation for Good Reason."
e. Unless the Board of Directors provides prior written approval,
for one (1) year following the termination of the Executive's employment by the
Company, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly:
(1) solicit, entice, persuade or induce any employee of
the Company, or its subsidiaries, to terminate his/her employment with the
Company, or its subsidiaries, or to become employed by any Person other than
the Company, or its subsidiaries; or
(2) approach any such employee for any of the foregoing
purposes; or
(3) authorize or assist in the taking of such actions by
any third party.
10. ARBITRATION: The Company and the Executive agree as follows:
a. Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, or any breach of this Agreement, shall be settled by final and
binding arbitration in the city of Dallas, Texas in accordance with the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect
on the date the claim or controversy arises. The Executive and the Company
agree that either party must request arbitration of any claim or controversy on
or

termination or non-renewal of this Agreement becomes effective; or (ii) the
sixtieth (60th) business day after the date the claim or controversy first
arises, by giving written notice of the party's request for arbitration
("Arbitration Notice"). Failure to effectively communicate the Arbitration
Notice within the time limitation set forth in this section shall constitute a
waiver of the claim or controversy.
b. In the event that any dispute arising under this Agreement
concerns any payment required to be made under any provision of this Agreement,
either party agrees to deposit the amount of the disputed payment in an
interest bearing account with a financial institution acceptable to the other
party within five (5) days after either party effectively communicates its
Arbitration Notice. In the event that any dispute arising under this Agreement
concerns the amount of any payment required to be made under any provision of
this Agreement, either party agrees to pay the undisputed portion of the
payment to the other party and deposit the disputed portion of the payment in
an interest bearing account with a financial institution acceptable to the
other party within five (5) days after either party effectively communicates
its Arbitration Notice.
c. All claims or controversies subject to arbitration under this
Agreement shall be submitted to an arbitration hearing within thirty (30) days
after the Arbitration Notice is communicated. All claims or controversies
shall be resolved by a panel of three (3) arbitrators selected in accordance
with the applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules. Either party may request
that the arbitration proceeding be stenographically recorded by a Certified
Shorthand Reporter. The arbitrators shall issue a written decision with
respect to all claims or controversies submitted under this section within
thirty (30) days after the completion of the arbitration hearing. The parties
are entitled to be represented by legal counsel at any arbitration hearing and
each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys' fees. The Company shall
be responsible for paying for all of the arbitrators' fees and expenses in the
event of any arbitration under this section, except that in the event an
arbitration panel finds against the Executive, he may be required to reimburse
the Company for up to one-half (1/2) of the arbitrators' fees and expenses.
d. The parties agree that this section may be specifically
enforced by either party, and submission to arbitration compelled, by any court
of competent jurisdiction. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the
decision of the arbitrators may be specifically enforced by either party in any

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN GREYHOUND LINES, INC. AND STEVEN L. KORBY
OPTION AGREEMENT
March 31, 1995
Mr. Steven L. Korby
3131 Maple Avenue, Apt. 3C
Dallas, Texas 75201
RE: GRANT OF NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION
Dear Mr. Korby:
On __________, 1993, the Board of Directors of Greyhound
Lines, Inc. (the "Company") adopted the Company's 1993 Management Stock Option
Plan (the "Plan"). A copy of the Plan is annexed to this Option Agreement and
shall be deemed a part of this Option Agreement as if fully set forth herein.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all terms defined in the Plan shall have
the same meaning when used herein.
I. THE GRANT
The Company hereby grants to you, effective as of March 31,
1995 (the "Grant Date"), as a matter of separate inducement and not in lieu of
any salary or other compensation for your services, the right and option to
purchase (the "Option") an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Common Stock of the
Company (the "Option Shares") at a price per share equal to $2 3/8 (the "Option
Price"), in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the limitations set
forth in, this Option Agreement, your Executive Employment Agreement (the
"Employment Agreement") and the Plan. This Option is not intended to be an
incentive stock option within the meaning of section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). It is intended to be a
non-qualified stock option, within the purview of section 83 of the Code,
granted under Paragraph 6 of the Plan.
II. VESTING AND EXERCISE
(a) The Option shall vest as to the right to purchase,
and simultaneously become immediately exercisable, as follows:
<PAGE> 20
(i) 40% of the Option Shares (120,000 shares) on
April 30, 1996 pursuant to your Employment
Agreement;
(ii) 40% of the Option Shares (120,000 shares) on
April 30, 1997 pursuant to your Employment
Agreement; and
(iii) 20% of the Option Shares (60,000 shares) on
April 30, 1998, pursuant to your Employment
Agreement.
No further vesting of the Option shall occur following termination of your
employment; provided, however, that in the event of: (i) a "Change of
Control," as defined in Section 4(c) of your Employment Agreement, at any time
during your employment; or (ii) in the event that your employment is terminated
or not renewed by the Company without "Good Cause," as defined in Section
2(c)(3) of your Employment Agreement, prior to May 14, 1998; or, (iii) you
communicate a valid Notice of Resignation for "Good Reason," as defined in
Section 2(c)(5)(a) of your Employment Agreement, prior to May 14, 1998, then
your Option to purchase all three hundred thousand (300,000) shares of the
Option Stock at the Option Price shall, to the extent not already fully vested,
immediately become fully vested and exercisable on the date the Change of
Control occurs, or on the effective date of your termination or resignation.
(b) The Option may not be exercised after the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the Grant Date. The unexercised portion of the Option,
if any, will automatically, and without notice, terminate and become null and
void upon the expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date. If, however,
your employment with the Company terminates before the expiration of ten (10)
years from the Grant Date, the Option will terminate on the applicable date as
described in Paragraph IV below.
(c) Any exercise by you of the Option shall be in writing
addressed to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at its principal place of
business (a copy of the form of exercise to be used will be available upon
written request to the Secretary), and shall be accompanied by a certified or
bank check to the order of the Company in the full amount of the Option Price
of the whole number of Option Shares so purchased, or in such other manner as
described in the Plan. In no event shall you exercise the Option for a
fraction of an Option Share.
III. DEFINITIONS
(a) For purposes of this Option Agreement, the term
"Change of Control" shall mean that one of the events set forth at Section 4(c)
of your Employment Agreement occurs, or any other transaction or series of
related transactions occur which have substantially the same effect as any one
of the events set forth at Section 4(c) of your Employment Agreement.
(b) For purposes of this Option Agreement, the term
"Without Good Cause" shall mean that your Employment Agreement is terminated or
not renewed by the Company without "Good Cause," as defined in Section
2(c)(3)(c) of your Employment Agreement, or your employment is terminated by
the Company by communicating a Notice of Termination for Good
2
<PAGE> 21
Cause or Notice of Non-Renewal for Good Cause, and either the President/Chief
Executive Officer [under Section 2(c)(3)(f) of your Employment Agreement] or
the arbitrators [under Section 10(c) of your Employment Agreement] thereafter
determines that no Good Cause exists or existed for the termination or
non-renewal.

of Resignation for Good Reason" shall mean that you communicate at least ninety
(90) days notice of your intention to resign from your position with the
Company, for any reason constituting "Good Reason" under Section 2(c)(5)(a) of
your Employment Agreement.
IV. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
Upon the termination of your employment with the Company, this
Option shall automatically terminate and become null and void as to Option
Shares not vested as to the right to purchase and not then exercisable either
immediately prior to the date of your termination or as a result of your

until the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days after the date of your
resignation from employment or (y) the expiration of ten (10) years
from the Grant Date, exercise your Option with respect to all or any
part of the Option Shares which you were entitled to purchase at the
time of such resignation.
(g) GOOD CAUSE: If you were terminated for Good Cause (as
defined in Section 2(c)(3) of your Employment Agreement), you shall
forfeit your rights under the Option, except as to those Option Shares
already purchased.
V. CHANGE OF CONTROL
Upon the occurrence of an event constituting a Change of
Control (as that term is defined in Section 4(c) of your Employment Agreement)
while you are employed by the Company or any parent corporation or subsidiary
corporation of the Company, the Option will become immediately fully vested, to
the extent not already fully vested, and immediately exercisable in full,
effective on the date of the Change of Control.
VI. TRANSFERABILITY
The Option is not transferable by you otherwise than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution and is exercisable, during your
lifetime, only by you. The Option may not be assigned, transferred (except by
will or the laws of descent and distribution), pledged or hypothecated in any
way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to
execution, attachment or similar proceeding. Any attempted assignment,
transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of this Option contrary to
the provisions hereof or of the Plan, and the levy of any attachment or similar
proceeding upon the Option, shall be null and void and without effect. The
continuing validity of the Option shall not be impaired by this provision, by
the attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition
or by the voided levy or similar proceeding.
By your acceptance of this Option Agreement, you agree that
you will not sell or otherwise dispose of the Option, any common stock acquired
pursuant to the Option or any other "derivative security" (as defined by Rule
16a-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the
period ending six (6) months from the date hereof.
VII. REGISTRATION
4
<PAGE> 23
(a) REGISTRATION OF OPTIONS SHARES: The Company
represents and warrants to you that the Plan is covered by an effective
registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission relating to the Option Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option,
and the Option Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option are and shall
continue at all times to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act") and the Option Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option
shall be issued free of any and all restrictive legends and stop transfer
instructions. Without limitation upon the generality of the foregoing, the
Option Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option shall not constitute
"restricted securities" with the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act, and shall
be freely transferable by you in the open market and otherwise. The Company
agrees that so long as this Option is outstanding, it shall at all times
maintain an effective registration statement under the Act covering the
issuance of the Option Shares to you.
(b) OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY: Concurrently with the
execution of this Agreement, the Company shall enter into a Registration Rights
Agreement with the Executive, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "B,"

under the Act relating to a public offering of any equity or debt securities by
the Company.
VIII. WITHHOLDING TAXES
By your acceptance hereof, and in accordance with Section
10(d) of the Plan, you agree that in the case of issuance of Option Shares
hereunder, the Company, as a condition of such issuance, may require the
payment (through withholding from any payment otherwise due you from the
Company or any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company,
reduction of the number of Option Shares to be issued hereunder, or otherwise)
of any federal, state, local or foreign taxes required by law to be withheld
with respect to such issuance.
IX. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) This Option Agreement is subject to all the terms,
conditions, limitations and restrictions contained in the Plan, except as
specifically modified by this Option Agreement and your Employment Agreement.
In the event of any conflict between this Option Agreement, your Employment
Agreement and/or the Plan, the terms of this Option Agreement shall be
controlling.
(b) This Option Agreement is not a contract of employment
and the terms of your employment shall not be affected hereby or by any
agreement referred to herein except to the extent specifically so provided
herein or therein. Nothing herein shall be construed to impose any obligation
on the Company or on any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of the
Company to continue your employment, and it shall not impose any obligation on
your part to remain in the employ of the Company or of any parent corporation
or subsidiary corporation of the Company.
(c) SUCCESSORS: The obligations of this Option Agreement
shall bind the corporate successors of the Company, and the corporate
successors of such successors.

<PAGE> 24
(d) NO IMPAIRMENT: The Company will not, by amendment
of its certificate of incorporation or through reorganization, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, sale of assets or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any
of the terms of this Option, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holders of the
Options against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares
of stock receivable upon the exercise of the Option above the amount payable
therefore upon such exercise and (b) will take all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally
issue fully paid and non-assessable stock. The Company agrees that the shares
issuable upon exercise of this Option shall be duly authorized, fully paid and
non-assessable shares, free of pre-emption rights.
(e) RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE OF OPTIONS:
The Company covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights
represented by this Option may be exercised, the Company will at all times have
authorized, and in reserve, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise
of this Option, all such shares of Common Stock and other stock, securities and
property as from time to time shall be receivable upon the exercise of this
Option.
X. ARBITRATION
(a) Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to
this Option Agreement, or any breach of this Option Agreement, shall be settled
by final and binding arbitration in the city of Dallas, Texas in accordance
with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association
in effect on the date the claim or controversy arises. The Executive and the
Company agree that either party must request arbitration of any claim or
controversy within sixty (60) days of the date the claim or controversy first
arises, by giving written notice of the party's request for arbitration
("Arbitration Notice"). Failure to effectively communicate the Arbitration
Notice within the time limitation set forth in this section shall constitute a
waiver of the claim or controversy.
(b) In the event that any dispute arising under this
Option Agreement concerns any payment required to be made under any provision
of this Option Agreement, either party agrees to deposit the amount of the
disputed payment in an interest bearing account with a financial institution
acceptable to the other party within five (5) days after either party
effectively communicates its Arbitration Notice. In the event that any dispute
arising under this Option Agreement concerns the amount of any payment required
to be made under any provision of this Option Agreement, either party agrees to
pay the undisputed portion of the payment to the other party and deposit the
disputed portion of the payment in an interest bearing account with a financial
institution acceptable to the other party within five (5) days after either
party effectively communicates its Arbitration Notice.
(c) All claims or controversies subject to arbitration
