Subject to Committee approval, the Participant may elect to satisfy any Applicable Tax obligation of the Employer with respect to the Option by having Shares withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal (including FICA), state and local tax liabilities (or such other rate approved by the Committee that does not result in adverse accounting consequences).

9.Non-Transferability of Option: The Award (including the Option hereunder) shall not be transferable and may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

This Agreement may be assigned by the Company without the Participant’s consent.

11. Restrictive Covenants. Except as may be prohibited by law, all Participants agree as follows:

a.Non-Competition. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company is engaged in a highly competitive business, and that by virtue of Participant’s position and responsibilities as an employee or consultant of the Company and Participant’s access to Confidential Information, engaging in a business that is directly competitive with the Company will cause it great and irreparable harm.

Participant understands that the business of the Company and Participant’s responsibilities on behalf of the Company have been nationwide and companywide in scope. Accordingly, Participant agrees that this restriction will apply in those areas within the United States, including the United States’ territories and possessions (including, but not limited to, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands), as well as Canada, including its

DB1/ 138221714.3

provinces, territories and possessions, within which the Participant was assigned or with respect to which Participant had responsibility during the last two (2) years of Participant’s employment with the Company.

b.Non-Interference. Participant further agrees and covenants that during the Restricted Period, Participant shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or through others, either on behalf of Participant or any other person or entity, Interfere with the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Interfere” shall mean (a) to solicit, entice, persuade, induce, influence or attempt to influence, directly or through others, suppliers or prospective suppliers, employees, agents or independent contractors of the Company to restrict, reduce, sever or otherwise alter their relationship with the Company for purposes that are competitive with the Company; or (b) to hire on the Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, directly or through others, any current or former employee or independent contractor of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, this provision shall only apply to those suppliers or prospective suppliers, employees, agents or independent contractors of the Company with whom Participant had material contact during the last two (2) years of Participant’s employment with the Company or about whom Participant had access to Confidential Information during the last two (2) years of Participant’s employment with the Company.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Interfere” shall also mean (a) to solicit, entice, persuade, induce, influence or attempt to influence, directly or through others, customers or prospective customers of the Company to restrict, reduce, sever or otherwise alter their relationship with the Company for purposes that are competitive with the Company; or (b) whether as a direct solicitor or provider of such services, or in a management or supervisory capacity over others who solicit or provide such services, to solicit or provide services that fall within the definition of Restricted Activities as defined below to any customer of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, this provision shall apply only to those customers or prospective customers with whom Participant had material contact during the last two (2) years of Participant’s employment with the Company or about whom Participant had access to Confidential Information during the last two (2) years of Participant’s employment with the Company.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Restricted Activities” shall mean (1) the retail, commercial and/or wholesale sale, rental, and/or distribution of parts, accessories, supplies, equipment and/or maintenance items for automobiles, light and heavy duty trucks (both commercial and noncommercial), off-road equipment, buses, recreational vehicles, and/or agricultural equipment, and/or (2) the provision of any automotive-related service (including, but not limited to, shop management, inventory control, and/or vehicle repair software or marketing) to auto repair shops, garages, and/or specialty-service providers (e.g. any business that specializes in automotive oil changes, tires, mufflers, brakes, transmission, and/or body work).

c.Remedies. Participant agrees that any breach by Participant of the covenants contained in this Section 9 will result in irreparable injury to Company, for which money damages could not adequately compensate the Company. Therefore, the Company shall have the right (in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have at law or in equity) to seek to enforce this Section 9 and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have for a breach, or threatened breach, of the covenants set forth in this Section 9. Participant agrees that in any action in which the Company seeks injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, Participant will not assert or contend that any of the provisions of this Section 9 are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable.

In addition, if Participant breaches any of the covenants in this Section 9, Participant shall return to the Company any portion of shares of Common Stock received by Participant or Participant’s personal representative that vested on or after any such violation and pay to the Company in cash the amount of any proceeds received by Participant or Participant’s personal representative from the disposition or transfer of any such stock, and

DB1/ 138221714.3

Participant’s unvested Options or portion of Options shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited.

d.Definitions. For purposes of this Section 9, the following terms are defined as follows:

i.“Confidential Information” means any proprietary information prepared or maintained in any format, including personnel information or data of the Company, technical data, trade secrets or know-how in which the Company or its Affiliates or related entities have an interest, including, but not limited to, business records, contracts, research, product or service plans, products, services, customer lists and customers (including, but not limited to, vendors to the Company or its Affiliates and related entities on whom Participant called, with whom Participant dealt or with whom Participant became acquainted during the term of Participant’s employment, service, or other association with the Company), pricing data, costs, markets, expansion plans, summaries, marketing and other business strategies, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration or marketing, financial or other business information obtained by Participant or disclosed to Participant by the Company or its Affiliates or related entities or any other person or entity during the term of Participant’s employment, service, or other association with the Company or its Affiliates, either directly or through others, electronically, in writing, orally, by drawings, by observation of services, systems or other aspects of the business of the Company or its Affiliates or related entities or otherwise.

ADDENDUM A TO THE AGREEMENT

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS

This Addendum A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Award granted to the Participant if the Participant works or resides outside the United States.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are defined in the Plan or the Agreement and have the meanings set forth therein.

1.Vesting. For purposes of the Agreement, the Participant’s employment or other association with the Company and its Affiliates shall be deemed to terminate on the date on which the Participant ceases to be actively employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates, which shall not be extended by any notice period, whether mandated or implied under local law during which the Participant is not actually employed (e.g., garden leave or similar leave) or during or for which the Participant receives pay in lieu of notice or severance pay. The Company shall have the sole discretion to determine when the Participant’s employment or other association with the Company and its Affiliates terminates for purposes of the Agreement without reference to any other agreement, written or oral, including the Participant’s contract of employment, if applicable.

2.No Acquired Right. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that:

a.The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, the grant of awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Committee and the Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. All decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.

b.The Award (and any similar awards the Company may in the future grant to the Participant, even if such awards are made repeatedly or regularly, and regardless of their amount) and the Shares acquired under the Plan (i) are wholly discretionary and occasional, are not a term or condition of employment and do not form part of a contract of employment, or any other working arrangement, between the Participant and the Company or any Affiliate; (ii) do not create any contractual entitlement to receive future awards or benefits in lieu thereof and are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation, as applicable; and (iii) do not form part of normal or expected salary or remuneration for purposes of determining pension payments or any other purposes, including without limitation termination indemnities, severance, resignation, payment in lieu of notice, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-term service awards, pension or retirement benefits, welfare benefits or similar payments, if applicable, except as otherwise required by the applicable law of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the award is subject.

c.The Award and the Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation.

d.The Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.

e.In the event that the Participant is an employee and the Participant’s employer is not the Company, the grant of the Award and any similar awards the Company may grant in the future to the Participant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company and, furthermore, the grant of the Award and any similar awards the Company may grant in the future to the Participant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Participant’s employer or any Affiliate.

f.The future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If the Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value. If the Participant exercises the Option and acquires Shares, the value of the acquired Shares may increase or decrease, including below the purchase price of the Shares. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or the Shares.

g.The Participant shall have no rights, claim or entitlement to compensation or damages as a result of the Participant’s cessation of employment or other association for any reason whatsoever, whether

DB1/ 138221714.3

or not later found to be invalid or in breach of contract or local labor law, insofar as these rights, claim or entitlement arise or may arise from the Participant’s ceasing to have rights under the Award as a result of such cessation or loss or diminution in value of the Award or any of the Shares purchased through the exercise of the Option as a result of such cessation, and the Participant irrevocably releases the Participant’s employer, the Company and its Affiliates, as applicable, from any such rights, entitlement or claim that may arise. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such right or claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing the Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived the Participant’s entitlement to pursue such rights or claim.

3.Data Protection (Jurisdictions other than European Union/European Economic Area/United Kingdom).

a.In order to facilitate the Participant’s participation in the Plan and the administration of the Award, it will be necessary for contractual and legal purposes for the Company (or its Affiliates or payroll administrators) to collect, hold and process certain personal information and sensitive personal information about the Participant (including, without limitation, the Participant’s name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, nationality, social insurance or other identification number and job title and details of the Award and other awards granted, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding and Shares held by the Participant). The Participant consents explicitly, willingly, and unambiguously to the Company (or its Affiliates or payroll administrators) collecting, holding and processing the Participant’s personal data and transferring this data (in electronic or other form) by and among, as applicable, the Participant’s employer, the Company and its Affiliates and other third parties (collectively, the “Data Recipients”) insofar as is reasonably necessary to implement, administer and manage the Plan and the Award. The Participant authorizes the Data Recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the data for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and the Award. The Participant understands that the data may be transferred to a broker or third party as may be selected by the Company in the future which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Participant understands that the Data Recipients may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have a lower standard of data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country.

b.The Data Recipients will treat the Participant’s personal data as private and confidential and will not disclose such data for purposes other than the management and administration of the Plan and the Award and will take reasonable measures to keep the Participant’s personal data private, confidential, accurate and current. The Participant understands that the data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

c.The Participant understands that the Participant may, at any time, make a request to view the Participant’s personal data, require any necessary corrections to it or withdraw the consents herein in writing by contacting the Company and that these rights are subject to legal restrictions but acknowledges that without the use of such data it may not be practicable for the Company to administer the Participant’s involvement in the Plan in a timely fashion or at all and this may be detrimental to the Participant and may result in the possible exclusion of the Participant from continued participation with respect to the Award or any future awards under the Plan.

4.Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements; Exchange Controls. Depending on the Participant’s country, the Participant may be subject to foreign asset/account, exchange control and/or tax reporting requirements as a result of the vesting or exercise of the Option, the acquisition, holding and/or transfer of Shares or cash resulting from participation in the Plan and/or the opening and maintaining of a brokerage or bank account in connection with the Plan. The Participant may be required to report such assets, accounts, account balances and values, and/or related transactions to the applicable authorities in the Participant’s country. The Participant may also be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of his or her participation in the Plan to the Participant’s country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable foreign asset/account, exchange control and tax reporting and other requirements. The Participant further understands that the Participant should consult the Participant’s personal tax and legal advisors, as applicable, on these matters.

DB1/ 138221714.3

5.Withholding; Responsibility for Taxes. This provision supplements Section 11 of the Agreement.
