reimburses the costs incurred by you in connection with (i) your commute to and from the Company’s
offices in Phoenix, Arizona, and (ii) temporary living arrangements in Phoenix, Arizona area.

     The Company hereby agrees that if, prior to the completion of your permanent relocation to the

the period during which the Company will continue to reimburse you for temporary housing,
relocation and commuting expenses (as set forth in your offer letter) shall be automatically
extended until the earlier of (A) the date that is eight months after the consummation of the
Change of Control transaction and (B) the date that is thirty days following the date of your
termination of employment for any reason, (ii) you will not be required to relocate to the Phoenix,
Arizona area after the date the Change of Control is consummated, (iii) unless the board of
directors or chief executive officer of the Company determines otherwise, you will not be permitted
to relocate to the Phoenix, Arizona area after the date such agreement is entered into, and (iv)
from and after the consummation of the Change of Control and until the earlier of (A) the date that
is eight months after the consummation of the Change of Control transaction and (B) the date that
is thirty days following the date of your termination of employment for any reason, the Company
(and any successor thereto) will continue to reimburse you for travel and temporary living expenses
on terms no less favorable than those provided to you prior to the consummation of the Change of
Control, which terms shall include, but shall not be limited to, the terms set forth in
Appendix A hereto and, to the extent not inconsistent with Appendix A, the CSK
Auto, Inc. Relocation Policy and the Company’s travel policy, each as in effect and applicable to
you prior to the Change of Control.

     For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall limit the Company’s additional obligations
under that certain employment offer letter between you and the Company dated September 18, 2007,
which shall continue to apply (regardless of the occurrence of a Change of Control) in accordance
with the terms thereof.
