TO:                            Tim Clayton

FR:                              Dave Gartzke

RE:                              Transaction Bonus

As interim Chief Financial Officer your experience and assistance with this
transaction has truly been invaluable.  I want to emphasize how much I
appreciate your dedication and hard work on Project AutoBahn and without your
role as a co-project leader we would not have been able to get where we are
today.  I know that you have sacrificed a great deal already and we still have a
lot of work ahead and your continued efforts are essential in order to complete
this transaction.

In recognition of your efforts thus far and your continued involvement with this
transaction, you have been recommended for a transaction bonus which has been
reviewed and approved by the Executive Compensation Committee.

Contingent upon the closing of the AutoBahn merger/sale transaction and provided
you do not terminate your contract with ADESA prior to the earlier of (1) June
30, 2007 or (2) the closing of the merger transaction; you will be awarded
$620,000.

I want to thank you again for all your extra efforts.  With your help, I look
forward to successfully completing this transaction.

/s/ David G. Gartzke
