 Exhibit 10.23 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 

This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [DATE] by and among ATD Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Accelerate Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation, American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with Accelerate Holdings Corporation, the “Intermediate
Holdcos”), American Tire Distributors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Opco”, and together with the Company and the Intermediate Holdcos, the “ATD Companies” and each an “ATD Company”), and
[NAME OF DIRECTOR] (“Indemnitee”). 
 WHEREAS, in light of the litigation costs and risks to directors and officers
resulting from their service to companies, and the desire of the ATD Companies to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and officers, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for each of the ATD Companies to indemnify and
advance expenses on behalf of its and the other ATD Companies’ directors and/or officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the ATD Companies free from undue concern regarding such
risks; 
 WHEREAS, the ATD Companies have requested that Indemnitee serve or continue to serve as a director and/or an officer of one or
more of the ATD Companies and may have requested or may in the future request that Indemnitee serve one or more ATD Entities (as hereinafter defined) as a director or an officer or in other capacities; 

WHEREAS, one of the conditions that Indemnitee requires in order to serve as a director and/or an officer of one or more of the ATD Companies
is that Indemnitee be so indemnified; and 
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or
insurance provided by one or more of the Designating Stockholders (as hereinafter defined) (or their affiliates) and/or any insurer providing insurance coverage under any policy purchased or maintained by such Designating Stockholders (or their
affiliates), which Indemnitee, the ATD Companies and the Designating Stockholders (or their affiliates) intend to be secondary to the primary obligation of the ATD Companies to indemnify Indemnitee as provided herein, with the ATD Companies’
acknowledgement of and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to Indemnitee’s willingness to serve as a director and/or officer of each of the ATD Companies. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the ATD Companies and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and
agree as follows: 
 1. Services by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director and/or an officer of one or more of the ATD
Companies. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any contractual obligation the Indemnitee may have under any other agreement).

 2. Indemnification - General. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement, the ATD Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee with respect to, and hold Indemnitee harmless from and against, all losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, costs, amounts paid in
settlement, Expenses (as hereinafter defined) and other amounts that Indemnitee reasonably incurs and that result from, arise in connection with or are by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined) and shall advance
Expenses to Indemnitee. The obligations of the ATD Companies under this Agreement (a) are joint and several obligations of each ATD Company, (b) shall continue after such time as Indemnitee ceases to serve as a director or an officer of
the ATD Companies or in any other Corporate Status, and (c) include, without limitation, claims for monetary damages against Indemnitee in respect of any actual or alleged liability or other loss of Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted
under applicable law (including, if applicable, Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) as in existence on the date hereof and as amended from time to time. A limitation under law of any ATD Company on providing indemnification or
an advance of expenses to Indemnitee shall not limit the indemnification and advancement obligations of any ATD Company not so limited. 

3. Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the ATD Companies. If in connection with or by reason of Indemnitee’s
Corporate Status, Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) other than a Proceeding by or in the right of any of the ATD Companies to procure a judgment in its favor, the
ATD Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee with respect to, and hold Indemnitee harmless from and against, all Expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement
(including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in
connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein. 
 4. Proceedings by or in the Right of the ATD Companies. If
in connection with or by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of any of the ATD Companies to procure a judgment in such ATD
Company’s favor, the ATD Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee with respect to, and hold Indemnitee harmless from and against, all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in
connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein. 
 5. Mandatory Indemnification in Case of Successful Defense.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any Proceeding or
any claim, issue or matter therein (including, without limitation, any Proceeding brought by or in the right of any ATD Company), the ATD Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee with respect to, and hold
Indemnitee harmless from and against, all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in defense of such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or
otherwise, as to one or more but less than all 

  
 - 2 - 








 
claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the ATD Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on
behalf of Indemnitee in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section 5 and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or
without prejudice, on substantive or procedural grounds, or settlement of any such claim prior to a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to such Proceeding, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim,
issue or matter; provided, however, that any settlement of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding shall not be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter if such settlement is effected by Indemnitee
without the ATD Companies’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. 
 6.
Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise to indemnification by any of the ATD Companies for some or a portion of the Expenses, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts
paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of
Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the ATD Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent to which Indemnitee is entitled to
such indemnification. 
 7. Indemnification for Additional Expenses Incurred to Secure Recovery or as Witness. 

(a) The ATD Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee with respect to, and hold Indemnitee harmless from
and against, any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall advance on an as-incurred basis (as provided in Section 8 of this Agreement) such Expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any
action or proceeding or part thereof brought by Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or advance payment of Expenses by the ATD Companies under this Agreement, any other agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the applicable ATD
Company as now or hereafter in effect, or pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement, dated May 28, 2010, among American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc., Opco, Am-Pac Dist. Inc., Tire Pros Francorp and TPG Capital, L.P.; or (ii) recovery
under any director and officer liability insurance policies maintained by any ATD Entity. 
 (b) To the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason
of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness (or is forced or asked to respond to discovery requests) in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, the ATD Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee
with respect to, and hold Indemnitee harmless from and against, and the ATD Companies will advance on an as-incurred basis (as provided in Section 8 of this Agreement), all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of
Indemnitee in connection therewith. 

  
 - 3 - 








 8. Advancement of Expenses. The ATD Companies shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, pay on a current and as-incurred basis all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding in any way connected with, resulting from or relating to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status. Such Expenses shall be paid in advance of
the final disposition of such Proceeding, without regard to whether Indemnitee will ultimately be entitled to be indemnified for such Expenses and without regard to whether an Adverse Determination (as hereinafter defined) has been or may be made.
Upon submission of a request for advancement of Expenses pursuant to Section 9(c) of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to advancement of Expenses as provided in this Section 8, and such advancement of Expenses
shall continue until such time (if any) as there is a final non-appealable judicial determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. Indemnitee shall repay such amounts advanced if and to the extent that it shall ultimately be
determined in a decision by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be taken that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the ATD Companies for such Expenses. Such repayment obligation shall be unsecured and shall not bear
interest. The ATD Companies shall not impose on Indemnitee additional conditions to advancement or require from Indemnitee additional undertakings regarding repayment. Indemnitee shall, in all events, be entitled to advancement of Expenses, without
regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification, until the final determination of the Proceeding. 
 9.
Indemnification Procedures. 
 (a) Notice of Proceeding. Indemnitee agrees to notify the ATD Companies promptly upon being
served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder. Any failure by Indemnitee to notify
any ATD Company will not relieve the ATD Companies of its advancement or indemnification obligations under this Agreement unless, and only to the extent that, the ATD Companies can establish that such omission to notify resulted in actual and
material prejudice to it which prejudice cannot be reversed or otherwise eliminated without any material negative effect on the ATD Companies, and the omission to notify such ATD Companies will, in any event, not relieve any ATD Company from any
liability which it may have to indemnify Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement. If, at the time of receipt of any such notice, the ATD Companies have director and officer liability insurance policies in effect, the ATD Companies will
promptly notify the relevant insurers in accordance with the procedures and requirements of such policies. 
 (b) Defense;
Settlement. Indemnitee shall have the sole right and obligation to control the defense or conduct of any claim or Proceeding with respect to Indemnitee. The ATD Companies shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which may be
provided or withheld in Indemnitee’s sole discretion, effect any settlement of any Proceeding against Indemnitee or which could have been brought against Indemnitee or which potentially or actually imposes any cost, liability, exposure or
burden on Indemnitee unless (i) such settlement solely involves the payment of money or performance of any obligation by persons other than Indemnitee and includes an unconditional, full release of Indemnitee by all relevant parties from all
liability on any matters that are the subject of such Proceeding and an acknowledgment that Indemnitee denies all wrongdoing in connection with such matters and (ii) the ATD Companies 

  
 - 4 - 








 
have fully indemnified the Indemnitee with respect to, and held Indemnitee harmless from and against, all Expenses and other amounts incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in
connection with such Proceeding. The ATD Companies shall not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee against amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding against Indemnitee if such settlement is effected by Indemnitee without the ATD Companies’
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money or performance of any obligation by persons other than the ATD Companies and includes an
unconditional release of the ATD Companies by any party to such Proceeding other than the Indemnitee from all liability on any matters that are the subject of such Proceeding and an acknowledgment that the ATD Companies deny all wrongdoing in
connection with such matters. 
 (c) Request for Advancement; Request for Indemnification. 

(i) To obtain advancement of Expenses under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the ATD Companies a written request therefor, together
with such invoices or other supporting information as may be reasonably requested by the ATD Companies and reasonably available to Indemnitee, and, only to the extent required by applicable law which cannot be waived, an unsecured written
undertaking to repay amounts advanced. The ATD Companies shall make advance payment of Expenses to Indemnitee no later than five (5) business days after receipt of the written request for advancement (and each subsequent request for
advancement) by Indemnitee. If, at the time of receipt of any such written request for advancement of Expenses, the ATD Companies have director and officer insurance policies in effect, the ATD Companies will promptly notify the relevant insurers in
accordance with the procedures and requirements of such policies. The ATD Companies shall thereafter keep such director and officer insurers informed of the status of the Proceeding or other claim and take such other actions, as appropriate to
secure coverage of Indemnitee for such claim. 
 (ii) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, at any time before or after
submission of a request for advancement pursuant to Section 9(c)(i) of this Agreement, Indemnitee may submit a written request for indemnification hereunder. The time at which Indemnitee submits a written request for indemnification shall be
determined by the Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s sole discretion. Once Indemnitee submits such a written request for indemnification (and only at such time that Indemnitee submits such a written request for indemnification), a Determination (as
hereinafter defined) shall thereafter be made, as provided in and only to the extent required by Section 9(d) of this Agreement. In no event shall a Determination be made, or required to be made, as a condition to or otherwise in
connection with any advancement of Expenses pursuant to Section 8 and Section 9(c)(i) of this Agreement. If, at the time of receipt of any such request for indemnification, the ATD Companies have director and officer
insurance policies in effect, the ATD Companies will promptly notify the relevant insurers and take such other actions as necessary or appropriate to secure coverage of Indemnitee for such claim in accordance with the procedures and requirements of
such policies. 
 (d) Determination. The ATD Companies agree that Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by
law and that no Determination shall be required in connection with such indemnification unless specifically required by applicable law which 

  
 - 5 - 








 
cannot be waived. In no event shall a Determination be required in connection with indemnification for Expenses pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement or incurred in connection with
any Proceeding or portion thereof with respect to which Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise. Any decision that a Determination is required by law in connection with any other indemnification of Indemnitee, and any such
Determination, shall be made within twenty (20) days after receipt of Indemnitee’s written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(c)(ii) and such Determination shall be made either (i) by the Disinterested
Directors (as hereinafter defined), even though less than a quorum, so long as Indemnitee does not request that such Determination be made by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) if so requested by Indemnitee, in
Indemnitee’s sole discretion, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the ATD Companies and Indemnitee. If a Determination is made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within five
(5) business days after such Determination. Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person,
persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such Determination. Any
Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Disinterested Directors or Independent Counsel, as the case may be, making such determination shall be advanced and borne by the ATD Companies (irrespective of the Determination as to
Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and each ATD Company is liable to indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under this Section 9(d) to determine whether
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within twenty (20) days after receipt by the ATD Companies of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall, to the
fullest extent not prohibited by law, be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make
Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such twenty (20) day
period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional twenty (20) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for
the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(d) shall not apply if the determination of entitlement to
indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(e). 
 (e) Independent Counsel. In the event
Indemnitee requests that the Determination be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(d) of this Agreement, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 9(e). The Independent Counsel shall
be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors, in which event the Board of Directors shall make such selection on behalf of the ATD Companies, subject to the remaining provisions of
this Section 9(e)), and Indemnitee or the ATD Companies, as the case may be, shall give written notice to the other, advising the ATD Companies or Indemnitee of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. The ATD Companies or
Indemnitee, as the case may be, may, within five (5) days after such written notice of selection shall have been received, deliver to Indemnitee or the 

  
 - 6 - 








 
Company, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so
selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 15 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely
objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court
of competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within ten (10) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(c)(ii) of this Agreement and after
a request for the appointment of Independent Counsel has been made, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the ATD Companies or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any
objection which shall have been made by the ATD Companies or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court
shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 9(d) of this Agreement. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or
arbitration pursuant to Section 9(f) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).
Any expenses incurred by or in connection with the appointment of Independent Counsel shall be borne by the ATD Companies (irrespective of the Determination of Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and not by Indemnitee. 

(f) Consequences of Determination; Remedies of Indemnitee. The ATD Companies shall be bound by and shall have no right to challenge a
Favorable Determination. If an Adverse Determination is made, or if for any other reason the ATD Companies do not make timely indemnification payments or advances of Expenses, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence a Proceeding before a court
of competent jurisdiction to challenge such Adverse Determination and/or to require the ATD Companies to make such payments or advances (and the Company shall have the right to defend its position in such Proceeding and to appeal any adverse
judgment in such Proceeding). Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Expenses incurred in connection with such a Proceeding and to have such Expenses advanced by the Company in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement.
If Indemnitee fails to challenge an Adverse Determination within twenty (20) business days, or if Indemnitee challenges an Adverse Determination and such Adverse Determination has been upheld by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction from which no appeal can be taken, then, to the extent and only to the extent required by such Adverse Determination or final judgment, the ATD Companies shall not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement. 

(g) Presumptions; Burden and Standard of Proof. The parties intend and agree that, to the extent permitted by law, in connection with
any Determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder by any person, including a court: 
 (i) it
will be presumed that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (notwithstanding any Adverse Determination), and the ATD Entities or any other person or entity challenging such right will have the burden of proof to overcome
that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption; 

  
 - 7 - 








 (ii) the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the applicable ATD Entity, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful; 

(iii) Indemnitee will be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the
applicable ATD Entity, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers, employees, or committees of the board of directors of the applicable ATD Entity, or on the advice of legal counsel or other advisors
(including financial advisors and accountants) for the applicable ATD Entity or on information or records given in reports made to the applicable ATD Entity by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert or advisor
selected by the applicable ATD Entity; and 
 (iv) the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or
employee of any of the ATD Entities or relevant enterprises will not be imputed to Indemnitee in a manner that limits or otherwise adversely affects Indemnitee’s rights hereunder. 

The provisions of this Section 9(g) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which
Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. 
 10. Remedies of Indemnitee.

 (a) In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 9(d) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 and Section 9(c)(i) of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification
shall have been made pursuant to Section 9(d) of this Agreement within twenty (20) days after receipt by the ATD Companies of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to
Section 5, 6 or 7 of this Agreement within five (5) business days after receipt by the ATD Companies of a written request therefor, (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3, 4 or
7 of this Agreement is not made within five (5) business days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, or (vi) in the event that the ATD Companies or any other person takes or threatens to
take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or Proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, the Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to the Indemnitee
hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of his entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, 

  
 - 8 - 








 
Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The ATD
Companies shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration. 
 (b) In the event that a
determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 9(d) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 10 shall be conducted
in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits, in which (i) Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination, and (ii) the ATD Companies shall bear the burden of establishing that
Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. 
 (c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 9(d) of this
Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the ATD Companies shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 10, absent (i) a misstatement by
Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under
applicable law. 
 (d) The ATD Companies shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be precluded from asserting in any judicial
proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 10 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the
ATD Companies are bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. 
 11. Insurance; Subrogation; Other Rights of Recovery, etc. 

(a) Each ATD Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to purchase and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance
companies with A.M. Best ratings of “A” or better, providing Indemnitee with coverage for any liability asserted against, and incurred by, Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, or
arising out of Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not any such ATD Company would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against such liability. Such insurance policies shall have coverage terms and policy limits at least as favorable to
Indemnitee as the insurance coverage provided to any other director or officer of the ATD Companies. If any ATD Company has such insurance in effect at the time it receives from Indemnitee any notice of the commencement of an action, suit,
proceeding or other claim, such ATD Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such action, suit, proceeding or other claim to the insurers and take such other actions in accordance with the procedures set forth in the policy as
required or appropriate to secure coverage of Indemnitee for such action, suit, proceeding or other claim. Such ATD Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts
payable as a result of such action, suit, proceeding or other claim in accordance with the terms of such policy. Such ATD Company shall continue to provide such insurance coverage to Indemnitee for a period of at least ten (10) years after
Indemnitee ceases to serve as a director or an officer or in any other Corporate Status. 

  
 - 9 - 








 (b) In the event of any payment by any ATD Company under this Agreement, such ATD Company shall
be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against any other ATD Entity, and Indemnitee hereby agrees, as a condition to obtaining any advancement or indemnification from the ATD Companies, to assign
to such ATD Company all of Indemnitee’s rights to obtain from such other ATD Entity such amounts to the extent that they have been paid by such ATD Company to or for the benefit of Indemnitee as advancement or indemnification under this
Agreement and are adequate to indemnify Indemnitee with respect to the costs, Expenses or other items to the full extent that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or other payment hereunder; and Indemnitee will (upon request by the ATD
Companies) execute all papers required and use reasonable best efforts to take all action reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable such ATD Company to bring suit or enforce such
rights. 
 (c) Each of the ATD Companies hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases, and covenants and agrees
not to exercise (and to cause each of the other ATD Entities not to exercise), any rights that such ATD Company may now have or hereafter acquire against any Designating Stockholder (or former Designating Stockholder), insurer of such Designating
Stockholder (or former Designating Stockholder) or Indemnitee that arise from or relate to the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the ATD Companies’ obligations under this Agreement or under any other indemnification agreement
(whether pursuant to contract, by-laws or charter) with any person or entity, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation (whether pursuant to contract or common law), reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, or to be
held harmless, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Indemnitee against any Designating Stockholder (or former Designating Stockholder) or Indemnitee, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract,
statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Designating Stockholder (or former Designating Stockholder), insurer of such Designating Stockholder (or former Designating Stockholder) or Indemnitee,
directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right. 

(d) The ATD Companies shall not be liable to pay or advance to Indemnitee any amounts otherwise indemnifiable under this Agreement or under
any other indemnification agreement if, and to the extent that, Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that (i) the ATD Companies
hereby agree that they are the indemnitors of first resort under this Agreement and under any other indemnification agreement (i.e., their obligations to Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other agreement or undertaking to provide advancement
and/or indemnification to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of any Designating Stockholder (or any affiliate thereof other than an ATD Company) and/or any obligation of any insurer providing insurance coverage under any policy purchased or
maintained by such Designating Stockholders (or by any affiliate thereof, other than an ATD Company) to provide advancement or indemnification for the same Expenses, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including
all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) the ATD
Companies 

  
 - 10 - 








 
shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by any such Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all liability and loss suffered by such Indemnitee (including,
but not limited to, Expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding), without regard
to any rights any such Indemnitee may have against any Designating Stockholder or against any insurance carrier providing insurance coverage to Indemnitee under any insurance policy issued to a Designating Stockholder, and (iii) if any
Designating Stockholder (or any affiliate thereof other than an ATD Entity) pays or causes to be paid, for any reason, any amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder or under any other indemnification agreement (whether pursuant to contract, by-laws
or charter) with Indemnitee, then (x) such Designating Stockholder (or such affiliate, as the case may be) shall be fully subrogated to all rights of Indemnitee with respect to such payment and (y) the ATD Companies shall fully indemnify,
reimburse and hold harmless such Designating Stockholder (or such other affiliate) for all such payments actually made by such Designating Stockholder (or such other affiliate). 

(e) The ATD Companies’ obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee in respect of or relating to Indemnitee’s
service at the request of any of the ATD Companies as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, trustee, representative, partner or agent of any other ATD Entity shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as payment of
indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such other ATD Entity, except to the extent that such indemnification payments and advance payment of Expenses when taken together with any such amount actually received from other ATD Entities or
under director and officer insurance policies maintained by one or more ATD Entities are inadequate to fully pay all costs, Expenses or other items to the full extent that Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to indemnification or other payment
hereunder. 
 (f) Except as provided in Sections 11(c), 11(d) and 11(e) of this Agreement, the rights to
indemnification and advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time, whenever conferred or arising, be entitled under applicable law, under the ATD
Entities’ Certificates of Incorporation or By-Laws, or under any other agreement including Indemnification Agreement, dated May 28, 2010, among American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc., Opco, Am-Pac Dist. Inc., Tire Pros Francorp and TPG
Capital, L.P., vote of stockholders or resolution of directors of any ATD Entity, or otherwise. Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement are present contractual rights that fully vest upon Indemnitee’s first service as a director or an
officer of any of the ATD Companies. The Parties hereby agree that Sections 11(c), 11(d) and 11(e) of this Agreement shall be deemed exclusive and shall be deemed to modify, amend and clarify any right to indemnification or
advancement provided to Indemnitee under any other contract, agreement or document with any ATD Entity. 
 (g) No amendment, alteration or
repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment,
alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or other applicable law), whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater 

  
 - 11 - 








 
indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the ATD Entities’ Certificates of Incorporation or By-Laws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the
parties hereto that Indemnitee enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
right or remedy. 
 12. Employment Rights; Successors; Third Party Beneficiaries. 

(a) This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the ATD Companies and Indemnitee. This Agreement shall continue in force
as provided above after Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a director and/or an officer of the ATD Companies or any other Corporate Status. 

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon each of the ATD Companies and their successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of
Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. If any of the ATD Companies or any of their respective successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the
continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions
shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the ATD Companies shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Agreement. 

(c) The Designating Stockholders are express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, are entitled to rely upon this Agreement, and may
specifically enforce the ATD Companies’ obligations hereunder (including but not limited to the obligations specified in Section 11 of this Agreement) as though a party hereunder. 

13. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason
whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to
give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby. 

14. Exception to Right of Indemnification or Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and except
as provided in Section 7(a) of this Agreement or as may otherwise be agreed by any ATD Company, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding brought by
Indemnitee (other than a Proceeding by Indemnitee (i) by way of defense or counterclaim or other similar portion of a Proceeding, (ii) to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement or (iii) to enforce any other rights of
Indemnitee to indemnification,

inaction on Indemnitee’s part while acting as director, officer, employees, fiduciary, trustee or agent of any ATD Entity (in each case whether or not he is acting or serving in any such capacity or has such status at the time any liability or
