Borrowers have advised Agent and Lenders of the formation of a new, wholly-owned subsidiary of American Tire, ATD Merger Sub II, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“ATD Merger Sub”), and the proposed merger of ATD Merger Sub with and into Hercules Tire Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hercules Holdings”), with Hercules

“Hercules Merger Agreement”), and after giving effect to such merger (the “Proposed Hercules Merger”), Hercules Holdings shall be immediately merged into American Tire, with The Hercules Tire & Rubber
Company, a Connecticut corporation (“Hercules Tire”), as a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Tire. 
 In

“Permitted Acquisition” under the Credit Agreement. 
 Further, in connection with the Proposed Hercules Merger,
Borrowers have requested that the Credit Agreement be amended to provide for, among other things, (i) the increase by certain Revolving Lenders of their respective Revolving Commitments resulting in the maximum aggregate amount of all Canadian
Revolving Commitments increasing to an aggregate principal amount of $125,000,000 (such 







 
Revolving Lenders whose Revolving Commitments are increasing are collectively referred to here as “Increasing Revolving Lenders” and individually as an “Increasing
Revolving Lender”), (ii) (A) the increase by certain U.S. Lenders of their existing Tranche B Commitments (or the provision by certain U.S. Lenders of new Tranche B Commitments) resulting in the maximum aggregate amount of all

Lenders” and individually as an “Increasing Tranche B Lender”), (B) the extension of the Tranche B Maturity Date to the date that is 36 months after the effective date hereof, and (C) the increase of the inventory
advance rate under the Tranche B Borrowing Base from 7.5% to 10% of Net Orderly Liquidation Value (clauses (ii)(A) – (C) are collectively referred to herein as the “Tranche B Amendments”); and (iii) the addition of a
new credit facility under the Credit Agreement pursuant to which certain Canadian Lenders agree to make available to Canadian Borrowers a first-in last-out “Tranche C” facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15,000,0000 (such

modified version of the Credit Agreement attached as Annex 1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Modified Credit Agreement”). 

At the request of Borrowers, the Increasing Revolving Lenders, the Increasing Tranche B Lenders, and the Tranche C Lenders have agreed to
confirm to Borrowers their Commitments to provide the loans described above (collectively, the “Modified Commitments”) in the amounts set forth in Annex 2 hereto (the “Revised Commitment Schedule”), subject

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, TRICAN TIRE DISTRIBUTORS INC. / DISTRIBUTEURS DE PNEUS TRICAN
INC., a corporation organized under the laws of Canada, and and certain Canadian Subsidiaries that are borrowers pursuant to Section 5.11(a) of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Canadian Borrowers”), hereby
unconditionally and jointly and severally promise to pay to [            ] (the “Tranche C Lender”) or its registered assigns, at the office of Bank of America, N.A. (the
“Agent”) at 300 Galleria Parkway, Suite 800, Atlanta, Georgia 30339, on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 30, 2012 (as the same may be amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among American Tire Distributors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Holdings”), Trican Tire Distributors Inc. / Distributeurs de Pneus Trican Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada, each subsidiary of the Company from time to time party thereto, the Lenders parties
thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders thereunder (the “Agent”), in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of all Tranche C Loans made by the Tranche C Lender to the Canadian Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement and unconditionally and jointly and severally promise to pay interest from the date of such Tranche C Loans on the
principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, in like funds, at said office, at the rate or rates per annum and payable on the dates provided in the Credit Agreement. Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Credit Agreement. 
 Principal of and interest on this promissory note from time to time outstanding shall be due and payable as
provided in the Credit Agreement. This promissory note is issued pursuant to and evidences Tranche C Loans under the Credit Agreement, to which reference is made for a statement of the rights and obligations of the Tranche C Lender and the duties
and obligations of the Canadian Borrowers. The Credit Agreement contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity of this promissory note upon the happening of certain stated events, and for the borrowing, prepayment and reborrowing of amounts
upon specified terms and conditions. 
 The holder of this promissory note is hereby authorized by the Canadian Borrowers to record on a
schedule annexed to this promissory note (or on a supplemental schedule) the amounts owing with respect to Tranche C Loans, and the payment thereof. Failure to make any notation, however, shall not affect the rights of the holder of this promissory
note or any obligations of the Canadian Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents. 
 Time is of the essence of this promissory
note. Each Canadian Borrower and all endorsers, sureties and guarantors of this promissory note hereby severally waive demand, presentment for payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity of this promissory
note, diligence in collecting, the bringing of any suit against any party, and any notice of or defense on account of any extensions, renewals, partial payments, or changes in any manner of or in this promissory note or in any of its terms,
provisions and covenants, or any releases or substitutions of any security, or any delay, indulgence or other act of any trustee or any holder hereof, whether before or after maturity. The Canadian Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay, and
to save the holder of this promissory note harmless against, any liability for the payment of all costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) if this promissory note is collected by or through an
attorney-at-law. 







 In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the holder of
this promissory note for the use, forbearance or detention of money advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permitted under applicable law. If any such excess amount is inadvertently paid by the Canadian Borrowers or inadvertently received
by the holder of this promissory note, such excess shall be returned to the Canadian Borrowers or credited as a payment of principal, in accordance with the Credit Agreement. It is the intent hereof that the Canadian Borrowers not pay or contract to
pay, and that holder of this promissory note not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Canadian Borrowers under applicable law. 

THIS PROMISSORY NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
