GREYHOUND LINES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 1.01 MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On January 26, 2005, Greyhound Lines, Inc. (the “Company”), Laidlaw International, Inc. (“Laidlaw”) and John Werner Haugsland entered into a new Executive Employment Agreement effective as of January 1, 2005 that replaces an existing employment agreement. Mr. Haugsland serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and will also serve as a director of the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, in addition to his annual salary, Mr. Haugsland is eligible to continue to participate in the Company’s short-term incentive plan and supplemental executive retirement plan and Laidlaw’s long term incentive plan. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Haugsland also receives certain health and welfare and other benefits. If Mr. Haugsland is terminated without cause, the Company will pay Mr. Haugsland a lump sum equal to three times the sum of his annual base pay then in effect and the greater of his bonus for the year prior to termination or his target bonus at the time of termination. If terminated without cause, the Company will pay or continue certain of the benefits for 36 months. The agreement requires Mr. Haugsland to refrain from competing with the Company and soliciting the Company’s customers during his employment and, under defined circumstances, for 36 months following termination. The agreement also prevents Mr. Haugsland from soliciting any of the Company’s employees, under defined circumstances, for a period of 36 months following termination.

In addition, under a change of control agreement, if Mr. Haugsland’s employment terminates, under defined circumstances, following a change of control, he is entitled to a lump sum payment equal to three times the sum of his highest annual base pay in effect prior to termination plus incentive pay equal to not less than the higher of the highest aggregate incentive pay earned in any fiscal year after the change in control or in any of the three fiscal years immediately preceding the year in which the change in control occurred or the plan target for the year in which the change of control occurred plus the payment or continuation of benefits for 36 months.
