 ARTICLE II 
 PARTICIPATION 
  

	2.1	Eligibility 

 Each
Employee who is customarily employed as a full time employee of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary shall be eligible to participate in the Plan beginning on the later of the Effective Date or the date that he or she completed six (6) months
of Continuous Service. Each Employee who is customarily employed as a part-time Employee of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary shall be eligible to participate in the Plan beginning on the later of the Effective Date or the date as of which he
or she has completed one year of Continuous Service and been credited with at least one thousand (1,000) “hours of service” (as that term is defined in the KAR Auction Services, Inc. 401(k) Plan). All employment with the Company
and/or a Designated Subsidiary prior to the Effective Date shall be counted for purposes of determining eligibility to participate in the Plan. For purposes of this Section 2.1, whether an Employee is “customarily employed” shall be
determined by the Committee based on the Company’s or Designated Subsidiary’s policies and procedures in effect from time to time. No Employee may participate in the Plan if said Employee, immediately after an Offering Date, would be
deemed for purposes of Code Section 423(b)(3) to possess 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company, its Parent or any subsidiary. 
  

	2.2	Ineligible Employees 

 Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, no Employee shall be granted a right to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan to the extent that: 
 (a) immediately after the grant, such Employee would own stock, and/or hold or own options, possessing five percent (5%) or more of
the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company, the Parent or any subsidiary corporation (determined under the rules of Sections 423(b)(3) and 424(d) of the Code); 
 (b) immediately after the grant, such Employee’s right to purchase Company Stock under all employee stock purchase plans (as defined
in Section 423 of the Code) of the Company and any related company would accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 in Fair Market Value of such Company Stock (determined at the time such purchase right is granted) for each calendar year in which
such purchase right would be outstanding at any time; or 
 (c) such Employee is an officer or director who is subject to the
reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. 
  

	2.3	Payroll Deductions 

 Payment for shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder shall be made by authorized payroll deductions from each payment of Compensation in accordance with instructions received from a Participant. Said deductions shall be expressed as a
whole number percentage which shall be at least one percent (1%) but not more than fifteen percent (15%). A Participant may not increase or decrease the deduction during an Option Period. However, a Participant may change the percentage
deduction for any subsequent Option Period by filing notice thereof with the

  

 4 








 
Company prior to the Offering Date on which such Period commences. During an Option Period, a Participant may discontinue payroll deductions but have the payroll deductions previously made during
that Option Period remain in the Participant’s Account to purchase Common Stock on the next Exercise Date, provided that he or she is an Employee as of that Exercise Date. Any amount remaining in the Participant’s Account after the
purchase of Common Stock shall be refunded without interest upon the written request of the Participant. Any Participant who discontinues payroll deductions during an Option Period may again become a Participant for a subsequent Option Period by
executing and filing another Stock Purchase Agreement in accordance with Section 2.1. Amounts deducted from a Participant’s Compensation pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be credited to said Participant’s Account. 
 An eligible Employee may also elect to participate in the Plan solely through optional cash payments in whole dollars (and no payroll
deductions) in accordance with such procedures as the Committee shall prescribe. Optional cash payments by a Participant cannot be less than twenty-five dollars ($25 U.S.) per payment. A Participant who elects to participate in the optional cash
payment only feature may at any time elect to enroll also in the payroll deduction feature by notifying the Company in accordance with such procedures as the Committee shall prescribe. In the case of Participants whose Compensation is not paid in
the currency of the United States, the Committee shall periodically determine, not less frequently than once per calendar year, a minimum payroll deduction that is comparable to ten dollars ($10 U.S.), and a minimum optional cash payment that is
comparable to twenty-five dollars ($25 U.S.), based on applicable currency exchange rates as determined by the Committee. 
 ARTICLE III 
 PURCHASE OF SHARES 
  

	3.1	Option Price 

 The Option
Price per share of the Common Stock sold to Participants hereunder shall be eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of such share on the Exercise Date of an Option Period, but in no event shall the Option Price per share be less than
the par value of the Common Stock. 
  

	3.2	Purchase of Shares 

 On
each Exercise Date, the amount in a Participant’s Account shall be charged with the aggregate Option Price of the largest number of shares of Common Stock, including fractional shares, which can be purchased with said amount. The balance, if
any, in such account shall be carried forward to the next succeeding Option Period. 
  

	3.3	Limitations on Purchase 

 Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, no Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan if, immediately after the grant, such Employee’s right to purchase Common Stock under all employee stock purchase plans
(as defined in Section 423 of the Code) of the Company and any related company would accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 in Market Value of such Common Stock (determined at the time such purchase right is granted) for each calendar year in
which such purchase right would be outstanding at any time. 
  

 5 








 To the extent necessary to comply with Code Section 423(b)(8) and the limitations on
purchase in this Section 3.3, a Participant’s payroll deductions may be decreased to 0% during any Option Period which is scheduled to end during any calendar year, such that the aggregate of all payroll deductions accumulated with respect
to such Option Period and any other Option Period ending within the same calendar year is no greater than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000). Payroll deductions shall re-commence at the rate provided in such Participant’s Stock Purchase
Agreement at the beginning of the first Option Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless suspended by the Participant pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Plan. 
  

	3.4	Transferability of Rights 

 Rights to purchase shares hereunder shall be exercisable only by the Participant. Such rights shall not be transferable. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 PROVISIONS RELATING TO COMMON STOCK 
  

	4.1	Common Stock Reserved 

 There shall be a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for the Plan, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof. The aggregate number of shares which may be purchased under the Plan shall not exceed the
number of shares reserved for the Plan. 
  

	4.2	Adjustment for Changes in Common Stock 

 In the event that adjustments are made in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or said shares are exchanged for a different class of stock of the Company or for shares of stock of any other
corporation by reason of merger, consolidation, stock dividend, stock split or otherwise, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments in (i) the number and class of shares or other securities that may be reserved for purchase, or
purchased, hereunder, and (ii) the Option Price. All such adjustments shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee, and its decision shall be binding and conclusive. 
  

	4.3	Insufficient Shares 

 If
the aggregate funds available for purchase of Common Stock on any Exercise Date would cause an issuance of shares in excess of the number provided for in Section 4.1 hereof, (i) the Committee shall proportionately reduce the number of
shares which would otherwise be purchased by each Participant in order to eliminate such excess and (ii) the Plan shall automatically terminate immediately after such Exercise Date.

	4.4	Confirmation 

 Confirmation of each purchase of Common Stock hereunder shall be made available to the Participant in either written or electronic format. A record of purchases shall be maintained by appropriate entries on the books of the Company.
Participants may obtain a certificate or certificates for all or part of the shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder upon making a written request. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, shares of Common Stock delivered to a Participant
hereunder may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant during the six (6) month period following such delivery to the Participant (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution) and
the shares of Common Stock shall bear a legend denoting such restrictions as may be determined by the Committee to be appropriate. 
  

	4.5	Rights as Shareholders 

 The shares of Common Stock purchased by a Participant on an Exercise Date shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have been issued and sold as of the close of business on such Exercise Date. Prior to that time, none of the rights or
privileges of a shareholder of the Company shall exist with respect to such shares. 
 ARTICLE V 
 TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION 
  

	5.1	Voluntary Withdrawal 

 A
Participant may withdraw from the Plan at any time by filing notice of withdrawal prior to the close of business on an Exercise Date. Upon withdrawal, the entire amount, if any, in a Participant’s Account shall be refunded to him without
interest. Any Participant who withdraws from the Plan may again become a Participant in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof. 
  

	5.2	Termination of Eligibility 

 If a Participant Retires, he may elect to (i) withdraw the entire amount, if any, in his Plan Account, or (ii) have said amount used to purchase whole shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof on the next
succeeding Exercise Date and have any remaining balance refunded without interest. 
 If a Participant ceases to be eligible
under Section 2.1 hereof for any reason other than retirement, the dollar amount and the number of unissued shares in such Participant’s Account will be refunded or distributed to the Participant, or, in the case of death, the
Participant’s designated beneficiary or estate, or otherwise disposed of in accordance with policies and procedures prescribed by the Committee in cases where such a refund or distribution may not be possible.

 ARTICLE VI 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  

	6.1	Notices 

 Any notice which
a Participant files pursuant to the Plan shall be made on forms prescribed by the Committee and shall be effective only when received by the Company. 
  

	6.2	Condition of Employment 

 Neither the creation of the Plan nor participation therein shall be deemed to create any right of continued employment or in any way affect the right of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary to terminate an Employee. 
  

	6.3	Withholding of Taxes; Other Charges 

 Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an option under the Plan and/or shares of Common Stock first becomes includible in the income of the Participant for income tax
purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of, any taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such option or shares of Common Stock. The obligations of the Company under
the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant. 

In particular, to the extent a Participant is subject to taxation under U.S. Federal income tax law, if the Participant makes a
disposition, within the meaning of Code Section 424(c) of any share or shares of Common Stock issued to Participant pursuant to Participant’s exercise of an option, and such disposition occurs within the two-year period commencing on the
day after the Offering or within the one-year period commencing on the day after the Exercise Date, Participant shall, within ten (10) days of such disposition, notify the Company thereof and thereafter immediately deliver to the Company any
amount of federal, state or local income taxes and other amounts which the Company informs the Participant the Company may be required to withhold. 
 Participants shall be solely responsible for any commissions or other charges imposed with respect to the purchase or sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Plan. 
  

	6.4	Amendment of the Plan 

 The Board of Directors or the Board’s Compensation Committee may at any time, or from time to time, amend the Plan in any respect, except that, without approval of the shareholders, no amendment may increase the aggregate number of
shares reserved under the Plan other than as provided in Section 4.2 hereof, materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants or materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan. Any amendment of the
Plan must be made in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code and/or any regulations issued thereunder, any other applicable law or regulations, and the requirements of the principal exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed.
