ended December 31, 2001;
(2) Quarterly Reports of Roadway Corporation on Form 10-Q for the
periods ended March 23, 2002 and June 15, 2002;

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Under Delaware law, a corporation may include in its
certificate of incorporation ("Certificate") a provision that eliminates or
limits the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director,
but no such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director (a) for
any breach of duty of loyalty, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") (dealing with
illegal redemptions and stock repurchases), or (d) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant's
Certificate limits personal liability of directors to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law.
Delaware law also provides that a corporation (a) must
indemnify its directors, officers, employees, and agents for all expenses of
litigation when they are successful on the merits or otherwise; (b) may
indemnify such persons for the expenses, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in
settlement of litigation (other than a derivative suit) even if they are not
successful on the merits, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation (and, in the case of criminal proceedings, have no reason to believe
that their conduct was unlawful); and (c) may indemnify such persons for the
expenses of a derivative suit even if they are not successful on the merits if
they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the
2
best interests of the corporation, provided that no such indemnification may be
made on behalf of a person adjudged to be liable in a derivative suit, unless
the Delaware Chancery Court determines that, despite such adjudication but in
view of all of the circumstances, such person is entitled to indemnification. In
any such case, indemnification may be made only upon determination by (i) a
majority of the disinterested directors, (ii) independent legal counsel or (iii)
the stockholders that indemnification is proper because the applicable standard
of conduct was met. The advancement of litigation expenses to a director or
officer is also authorized upon receipt by the board of directors of an
undertaking to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such
person is not entitled to be indemnified for them.
The Registrant's Certificate authorizes mandatory
indemnification to the full extent permitted by Delaware law, and authorizes the
Registrant to enter into indemnification agreements with directors, officers and
other persons entitled to indemnification thereunder. The Registrant's
Certificate further authorizes the Registrant to provide by agreement for
indemnification greater or different than set forth in the Registrant's
Certificate. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors and certain officers that indemnify such persons to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law.
The Registrant has a directors' and officers' liability insurance
policy in place pursuant to which its directors and officers are insured against
certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of
the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar
value of securities offered would not exceed
that which was registered) and any deviation
from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), if, in
the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than 20 percent
change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i)
and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3, Form
S-8 or Form F-3, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in periodic reports filed with or furnished
to the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
4
(b) That, for purposes of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act)
that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be in the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to
a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of
whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
