                  (c) Each grant shall specify whether the Option Price shall
be payable (i) in cash or by check or other cash equivalent acceptable to the
Company, (ii) by the actual or constructive transfer to the Company of
outstanding Common Shares owned by the Optionee, or Common Shares issuable to

forfeitable or subject to restrictions on transfer, Deferred Shares,
Performance Shares (based, in each case, on the Market Value per Share on the
date of exercise), other Option Rights (based on the Spread on the date of
exercise) or Performance Units. Unless otherwise determined by the Board at or
after the Date of Grant, whenever any Option Price is paid in whole or in part
by means of any of the forms of consideration specified in this Section 4(d),
the Common Shares received upon the exercise of the Option Rights shall be
subject to such risks of forfeiture or restrictions on transfer as may
correspond to any that apply to the consideration surrendered, but such risks
and restrictions shall apply to Common Shares received only to the extent of
(i) the number of Restricted Shares or other Common Shares, Deferred Shares or
Performance Shares surrendered, (ii) the Spread of any unexercisable portion of
Option Rights surrendered or (iii) the stated value of Performance Units
surrendered.

                  (e) Any grant may provide for deferred payment of the Option
Price from the proceeds of sale through a broker on a date satisfactory to the
Company of some or all of the Common Shares to which the subject exercise
relates.

consideration specified in Section 4(d). Reload Option Rights shall cover up to
the number of Common Shares, Deferred Shares, Option Rights or Performance
Shares (or the number of Common Shares having a value equal to the value of any
Performance Units) surrendered to the Company upon any such exercise in payment
of the Option Price or to meet any withholding obligations. Reload Option
Rights shall not have an Option Price that is less than the Market Value per
Share at the time of exercise and shall be on such other terms as may be
specified by the Board, which may be the same as or different from those of the
original Option Rights.

                  (g) Successive grants may be made to the same Participant

                  (h) Each grant shall specify the period or periods of
continuous service by the Optionee with the Company or any Subsidiary that is

exercisable and may provide for the earlier exercise of such Option Rights in
the event of a Change in Control.

                  (i) Any grant of Option Rights may specify Management
Objectives that must be achieved as a condition to the exercise of such rights.

                  (j) Option Rights granted under this Plan may be (i) options,
including but not limited to Incentive Stock Options, that are intended to
qualify under particular provisions of the Code, (ii) options that are not
intended so to qualify or (iii) combinations of the foregoing.

                  (k) At or after the Date of Grant of any Option Right other
than an Incentive Stock Option, the Board may provide for the payment of
dividend equivalents to the Optionee on a current, deferred or contingent basis
or may provide that such equivalents shall be credited against the Option
Price.

Appreciation Right shall be a right of the Optionee, exercisable by surrender
of the related Option Right, to receive from the Company an amount determined
by the Board, which shall be expressed as a percentage of the Spread (not
exceeding 100 percent) at the time of exercise. Tandem Appreciation Rights may
be granted at any time prior to the exercise or termination of the related
Option Rights; provided, however, that a Tandem Appreciation Right awarded in
relation to an Incentive Stock Option must be granted concurrently with such
Incentive Stock Option. A Free-Standing Appreciation Right shall be a right of
the Participant to receive from the Company an amount determined by the Board,
which shall be expressed as a percentage of the Spread (not exceeding 100
percent) at the time of exercise.

                  (b)      Each grant of Appreciation Rights may utilize any or

         among those alternatives.

                           (ii) Any grant may specify that the amount payable
         on exercise of the subject Appreciation Right may not exceed a maximum

         exercise and permissible exercise dates or periods.

                           (iv) Any grant may specify that the subject
         Appreciation Right may be exercised only in the event of, or earlier
         in the event of, a Change in Control.

                           (v) Any grant may provide for the payment to the
         Participant of dividend equivalents thereon in cash or Common Shares
         on a current, deferred or contingent basis.

         contain such other terms and provisions, consistent with this Plan, as
         the Board may approve.

                  (c)      Any grant of a Tandem Appreciation Right shall
provide that the subject Tandem Appreciation Right may be exercised only at a
time when the related Option Right is also exercisable and the Spread is
positive and by surrender of the related Option Right for cancellation.

                  (d)      Regarding Free-Standing Appreciation Rights only:

                           (i)      Each grant shall specify a Base Price,

or other distributions paid on the Restricted Shares covered thereby during the

additional Restricted Shares, which may be subject to the same restrictions as
the underlying award.

                  (g) Each grant or sale shall be evidenced by an agreement,
which shall be executed on behalf of the Company by an officer and delivered to

restrictions thereon shall have lapsed.

additional Common Shares on a current, deferred or contingent basis.

                  (g) Each grant shall be evidenced by an agreement, which
shall be executed on behalf of the Company by an officer and delivered to and
accepted by the Participant and shall contain such other terms and provisions,
consistent with this Plan, as the Board may approve.

         9.       TRANSFERABILITY. (a) Except as otherwise determined by the
Board, no Option Right, Appreciation Right or other derivative security granted
under this Plan shall be transferable by a Participant other than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution. Except as otherwise determined by the
Board, Option Rights and Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable during a
Participant's lifetime only by the Participant or his or her guardian or legal
representative.

                                       9

<PAGE>   10

                  (b) The Board may specify at the Date of Grant that part or
all of the Common Shares that are to be issued or transferred by the Company
upon the exercise of Option Rights or Appreciation Rights, upon the termination
of the Deferral Period applicable to Deferred Shares or upon payment under any
grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units, or are no longer subject to
the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer referred to in
Section 6 of this Plan, shall be subject to further restrictions on transfer.

         10.      ADJUSTMENTS. The Board may make or provide for such
adjustments in the numbers of Common Shares covered by Option Rights,
Appreciation Rights, Deferred Shares and Performance Shares outstanding
hereunder, in the Option Price and Base Price provided in Option Rights and
Appreciation Rights outstanding hereunder, and in the kind of shares covered
thereby, as the Board may in good faith determine is equitably required to
prevent dilution or expansion of the rights of Participants that otherwise
would result from (a) any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares,
recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company, (b)
any merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up,
reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets
or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities or (c) any other
corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the
foregoing; provided, however, that any such adjustments to an Incentive Stock
Option may be made only if and to the extent that such adjustments would not
cause the Incentive Stock Option to cease to qualify as such. In the event of
any transaction or event referred to in the preceding sentence, the Board may
also provide in substitution for any or all outstanding awards under this Plan
such alternative consideration as the Board may in good faith determine to be
equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the
surrender of all awards so replaced. The Board may also make or provide for
such adjustments in the number of shares specified in Section 3 of this Plan as
the Board may in good faith determine is appropriate to reflect any transaction
or event described in the first sentence of this Section 10.

         11.      CHANGE IN CONTROL.  For the purposes of this Plan, a "Change
in Control" shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following events:

                  (a) The Company is merged, consolidated or reorganized into
or with another Person, and as a result of such merger, consolidation or
reorganization, less than a majority of the combined voting power of the
then-outstanding securities of such Person immediately after such transaction
is held in the aggregate by the holders of the Voting Power immediately prior
to such transaction;

                  (b) The Company and the Subsidiaries sell or otherwise
transfer to another Person all or substantially all of their combined assets,
and less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding
securities of such Person immediately after such sale or transfer is held in
the aggregate by the holders of the Voting Power immediately prior to such sale
or transfer;

                  (c) (i) A "person" (as defined in Sections 3(a)(9) and
13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) becomes the "beneficial owner" (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 or any successor rule or regulation promulgated under the
Exchange Act) of securities representing more than a majority of the Voting
Power or (ii) there is a report filed on Schedule 13D or Schedule 14D-1 (or any
successor schedule, form or report), as promulgated pursuant to the Exchange
Act, disclosing that a "person"

                                       10

<PAGE>   11

(as so defined) has become the "beneficial owner" (as so defined) of securities
representing more than a majority of the Voting Power;

                  (d) The Company files a report or proxy statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act disclosing in
response to Form 8-K or Schedule 14A (or any successor schedule, form or report
or item therein) that a change in control of the Company has or may have
occurred, or will or may occur in the future, pursuant to any then- existing
contract or transaction; or

                  (e) If during any period of two consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Directors cease
for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election,
or the nomination for election by the Company's stockholders, of each Director
first elected during such period was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
of the Directors then still in office who were Directors at the beginning of
such period.

                  Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (c) and (d) of
this Section 11, a "Change in Control" shall not be deemed to have occurred for
the purposes of this Plan solely because (i) the Company, a Subsidiary, a
Company-sponsored employee stock ownership plan or other employee benefit plan
of the Company, the Aurora Group or any member(s) thereof or the Brentwood
Group or any member(s) thereof (1) become(s) the beneficial owner(s) of a
majority of the Voting Power or (2) file(s) or become(s) obligated to file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission a report or proxy statement under or in
response to Schedule 13D, Schedule 14D-1, Form 8-K or Schedule 14A (or any
successor schedule, form or report or item therein) pursuant to the Exchange
Act, disclosing beneficial ownership by it of securities representing in excess
of 50 percent of the Voting Power or otherwise, (ii) the Company reports that a
change in control of the Company has or may have occurred, or will or may occur
in the future, by reason of any of the circumstances or events described in
clause (i) of this sentence or (iii) of a change in control of any Subsidiary.

         12.      FRACTIONAL SHARES.  The Company shall not be required to issue
any fractional Common Shares pursuant to this Plan. The Board may provide for
the elimination of fractional Common Shares or for the settlement of fractional
Common Shares in cash.

         13.      WITHHOLDING TAXES. To the extent that the Company is required
to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any
payment to be made or benefit to be realized by a Participant or other person
under this Plan, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding
are insufficient, it shall be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the
realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other person make
arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such
taxes required to be withheld, which may in the discretion of the Board include
relinquishment of a portion of such payment or benefit. The Company and a
Participant or such other person may also make similar arrangements with
respect to the payment of any taxes with respect to which withholding is not
required.

         14.      FOREIGN EMPLOYEES.  In order to facilitate the making of any
grant or combination of grants under this Plan, the Board may provide for such
special terms for awards to Participants who are foreign nationals or who are
employed by the Company or any Subsidiary outside of the United States of
America as the Board may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate

                                       11

<PAGE>   12

differences in local law, tax policy or custom. The Board may also approve such
supplements to or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of this Plan
as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes, without thereby
affecting the terms of this Plan as in effect for any other purpose, and the
Secretary or other appropriate officer of the Company may certify any such
document as having been approved and adopted in the same manner as this Plan.
No such special terms, supplements, amendments or restatements, however, shall
include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of this Plan as
then in effect, unless this Plan could have been amended to eliminate such
inconsistency without further approval by the stockholders of the Company.

         15.      ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN. (a) This Plan shall be
administered by the Board, which may from time to time delegate all or any part
of its authority under this Plan to a committee of the Board (or subcommittee
thereof) consisting of not less than two Nonemployee Directors appointed by the
Board. A majority of the committee (or subcommittee) shall constitute a quorum,
and the action of the members of the committee (or subcommittee) present at any
meeting at which a quorum is present, or acts unanimously approved in writing,
shall be the acts of the committee (or subcommittee). To the extent of any such
delegation, references in this Plan to the Board shall be deemed to be
references to any such committee (or subcommittee).

                  (b) The interpretation and construction by the Board of any
provision of this Plan or of any agreement, notification or other document
evidencing the grant of Option Rights, Appreciation Rights, Restricted Shares,
Deferred Shares, Performance Shares or Performance Units, and any determination
by the Board pursuant to any provision of this Plan or any such agreement,
notification or other document, shall be final and conclusive. No member of the
Board shall be liable for any such action or determination made in good faith.

         16.      AMENDMENTS, ETC. (a) The Board may at any time and from time
to time amend the Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that (i) any
amendment that must be approved by the stockholders of the Company in order to
comply with applicable law or the rules of any national securities exchange
upon which the Common Shares are traded or quoted shall not be effective unless
and until such approval shall have been obtained, and (ii) to the extent that
any amendment would adversely affect the rights of Participants who then hold
outstanding awards under this Plan, such amendment shall be of no force or
effect insofar as such awards then outstanding under this Plan are concerned,
unless the affected Participant shall consent thereto in writing. Presentation
of this Plan or any amendment hereof for stockholder approval shall not be
construed to limit the Company's authority to offer similar or dissimilar
benefits under other plans without stockholder approval.

                  (b) With the concurrence of the affected Participant, the
Board may cancel any agreement evidencing an Option Right or any other award
granted under this Plan. In the event of any such cancellation, the Board may
authorize the grant of new Option Rights or other awards hereunder, which may
or may not cover the same number of Common Shares as had been covered by the
canceled Option Right or other award, at such Option Price, in such manner and
subject to such other terms, conditions and discretion as would have been
permitted under this Plan had the canceled Option Right or other award not been
granted.

                  (c) The Board may grant under this Plan any award or
combination of awards authorized under this Plan in exchange for the
cancellation of an award that was not granted under

                                      12

<PAGE>   13

this Plan, including but not limited to any award that was granted prior to the
adoption of this Plan by the Board, and any such award or combination of awards
so granted under this Plan may or may not cover the same number of Common
Shares as had been covered by the canceled award and shall be subject to such
other terms, conditions and discretion as would have been permitted under this
Plan had the canceled award not been granted.

                  (d) The Board may also permit Participants to elect to defer
the issuance of Common Shares or the settlement of awards in cash under the
Plan pursuant to such programs or rules as the Board may establish for the
purposes of this Plan. The Board also may provide that deferred issuances and
settlements include the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents or
interest on the deferral amounts.

                  (e) The Board may condition the grant of any award or
combination of awards authorized under this Plan on the surrender or deferral
by the Participant of his or her right to receive a cash bonus or other
compensation otherwise payable by the Company or a Subsidiary to the
Participant.

                  (f) In case of termination of employment by reason of death,
disability or normal or early retirement, or in the case of hardship or other
special circumstances, of a Participant who holds an Option Right or
Appreciation Right that is not then immediately exercisable in full, or any
Restricted Shares as to which the substantial risk of forfeiture or the
prohibition or restriction on transfer has not then lapsed, or any Deferred
Shares as to which the Deferral Period has not then ended, or any Performance
Shares or Performance Units that have not then been fully earned, or who holds
Common Shares subject to any transfer restriction imposed pursuant to Section
9(b) of this Plan, the Board may in its sole discretion accelerate the time at
which such Option Right or Appreciation Right may be exercised or the time at
which such substantial risk of forfeiture or prohibition or restriction on
transfer will lapse or the time when such Deferral Period will end or the time
at which such Performance Shares or Performance Units will be deemed to have
been fully earned or the time when such transfer restriction will terminate or
may waive any other limitation or requirement under any such award.

                  (g) This Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right
with respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Company or
any Subsidiary and shall not interfere in any way with any right the Company or
any Subsidiary would otherwise have to terminate such Participant's employment
or other service at any time.

                  (h) To the extent that any provision of this Plan would
prevent any Option Right that was intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock
Option from qualifying as such, such provision shall be null and void with
respect to such Option Right. Such provision, however, shall remain in effect
for other Option Rights and there shall be no further effect on any provision
of this Plan.

         17.      TERMINATION. No grant shall be made under this Plan more than
10 years after the date on which this Plan is first adopted by the Board, but
all grants made on or prior to the tenth anniversary of such date of adoption
shall continue in effect thereafter subject to the terms thereof and of this
Plan.

                            CITY TRUCK HOLDINGS, INC.

                       NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

         WHEREAS, ____________________ (the "Optionee") is an employee of
[__________________________________, a subsidiary of] City Truck Holdings, Inc.
(the "Company");

         WHEREAS, the execution of a stock option agreement in the form hereof
has been authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company
(the "Board") that was duly adopted on ______________________ (the "Date of
Grant"); and

         WHEREAS, the option granted hereby is intended to be a nonqualified
stock option and shall not be treated as an "incentive stock option" within the
meaning of that term under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code");

         NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the Company's 1999 Equity Incentive Plan
(the "Plan") and subject to the terms and conditions thereof and the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company hereby grants to the Optionee a
nonqualified stock option (the "Option") to purchase ____________ shares (the
"Option Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
"Common Stock"), at the exercise price of $170 per Option Share (the "Exercise
Price").

         1. VESTING OF OPTION. (a) INCREMENTAL VESTING. Unless sooner terminated
as hereinafter provided, the Option shall become cumulatively vested and
exercisable to the extent of 10 percent of the Option Shares on December 31,
2000 (the "Initial Vesting Date"), an additional 10 percent of the Option Shares
on each of the first four anniversaries of the Initial Vesting Date, an
additional 16.66 percent of the Option Shares on the fifth anniversary of the
Initial Vesting Date, and an additional 16.67 percent of the Option Shares on
each of the sixth and seventh anniversaries

<PAGE>   2

of the Initial Vesting Date, for so long as the Optionee remains in the
continuous employ of the Company or a Subsidiary (as defined in the Plan). For
the purposes of this agreement, the continuous employment of the Optionee with
the Company or a Subsidiary shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and
the Optionee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of the Company
or a Subsidiary, by reason of the transfer of the Optionee's employment among
the Company and its Subsidiaries or a leave of absence approved by the Board.

                  (b) PERFORMANCE ACCELERATION. (i) Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 1(a) hereof, 50 percent of the Option Shares (the
"Performance Shares") shall be subject to the vesting and performance criteria
set forth in Annex A hereto (the "Performance Criteria"), which is incorporated
herein by this reference. Depending on the extent to which the Performance
Criteria are satisfied, the Option may become vested and exercisable for up to
20 percent of the Performance Shares on the Initial Vesting Date and up to an
additional 20 percent of the Performance Shares (each such 20 percent increment
of Performance Shares being hereinafter referred to as a "Performance Share
Increment") on each of the first four anniversaries of the Initial Vesting Date
(the twelve-month period ending on the Initial Vesting Date and each of the
twelve-month periods ending on each of the first four anniversaries of the
Initial Vesting Date being hereinafter referred to as a "Performance Year").

                           (ii)     If the Option becomes vested and exercisable
for less than 100 percent of a Performance Share Increment at the end of any
Performance Year, the Option shall become vested and exercisable for all or some
part of the unvested portion of such Performance Share Increment at the end of
the immediately succeeding Performance Year, if the Performance Criteria for
such immediately succeeding Performance Year are exceeded as provided in Annex
A.

                           (iii)    All Performance Shares for which the Option
becomes vested and exercisable shall reduce share-for-share in inverse order the
number of Option Shares, beginning

                                        2

<PAGE>   3

with the Option Shares that are scheduled to vest on the seventh anniversary of
the Initial Vesting Date pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof.

                  (c) ACCELERATION UPON DEATH, DISABILITY OR CHANGE IN CONTROL.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1(a) and 1(b) hereof, the Option
shall become immediately and fully vested and exercisable upon the death or
Disability of the Optionee or upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan).
For the purposes of this agreement, "Disability" means that the Optionee shall
have become totally physically disabled, as determined in writing by the
Optionee's personal physician and, at the option of the Company, confirmed in
writing by a physician selected by the Company, and the Optionee or, if
applicable, the Optionee's guardian or legal representative shall allow such
Company-selected physician to conduct such physical examinations and tests, and
to review such of the Optionee's medical records, as such Company-selected
physician may deem appropriate.

                  (d) EXERCISABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART. To the extent that the
Option shall have become exercisable in accordance with the terms of Section
1(a), 1(b) or 1(c) hereof, it may be exercised in whole or in part from time to
time thereafter.

         2. TERMINATION OF OPTION. The Option shall terminate automatically and
without further notice on the earliest of the following dates:

                  (a) 90 days after the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the
         Company or a Subsidiary for any reason other than (i) the death or
         Disability of the Optionee, (ii) the discharge of the Optionee by the
         Company or a Subsidiary for cause or (iii) the voluntary resignation of
         the Optionee;

                  (b) one year after the Optionee ceases to be an employee of
         the Company or a Subsidiary (i) by reason of the death or Disability of
         the Optionee or (ii) if the Optionee dies or suffers Disability during
         the ninety-day period referred to in Section 2(a) hereof;

                                        3

<PAGE>   4

                  (c) at the time the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the
         Company or a Subsidiary by reason of (i) the discharge of the Optionee
         by the Company or a Subsidiary for cause or (ii) the voluntary
         resignation of the Optionee; or

                  (d) ten years from the Date of Grant;.

For the purposes of this Section 2, the Board shall unilaterally determine what
constitutes "cause" and whether the Optionee shall be or shall have been
discharged by the Company or a Subsidiary for "cause," and any such
determination by the Board shall be final and binding on all parties concerned,
including the Optionee.

         3. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price shall be payable (a)
in cash in the form of currency or check or other cash equivalent acceptable to
the Company, (b) with the consent of the Board, by actual or constructive
transfer to the Company of (i) nonforfeitable, nonrestricted shares of Common
Stock that shall be owned by the Optionee and shall have been outstanding for at
least six months prior to the date of exercise or (ii) Option Shares (including
Performance Shares) issuable to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of the
Option, (c) with the consent of the Board and unless prohibited by law, by a
loan from the Company or a full-recourse promissory note bearing interest at a
rate not less than such rate as shall then preclude the imputation of interest
under the Code and payable upon and subject to such terms as may be prescribed
by the Board, including any security to be given for such loan or note, or (d)
with the consent of the Board, by any combination of the foregoing methods of
payment. Nonforfeitable, nonrestricted shares of Common Stock that are
transferred by the Optionee in payment of all or any part of the Exercise Price
shall be valued on the basis of their Market Value per Share (as defined in the
Plan) on the date of exercise. If the Common Stock is registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), at the time of
exercise, the requirement of payment in cash shall be deemed satisfied if the
Optionee makes arrangements that are satisfactory to the Company with a broker
that is a member

                                        4

<PAGE>   5

of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. to sell a sufficient
number of the Option Shares (including Performance Shares) that are being
purchased pursuant to the exercise, so that the net proceeds of the sale
transaction will at least equal the amount of the aggregate Exercise Price and
pursuant to which the broker undertakes to deliver to the Company the amount of
the aggregate Exercise Price not later than the date on which the sale
transaction will settle in the ordinary course of business.

         4. MANNER OF EXERCISE. The Option may be exercised only by delivery to
the Secretary of the Company of all of the following prior to the time when the
Option shall terminate and, therefore, cease to be exercisable pursuant to
Section 2 hereof:

                  (a) notice in writing signed by the Optionee or other person
         then entitled to exercise the Option, (i) stating that the Option (or
         applicable portion thereof) is thereby exercised and (ii) otherwise
         complying with all applicable rules and procedures established by the
         Board;

                  (b) full payment of the aggregate Exercise Price in accordance
         with Section 3 hereof;

                  (c) a bona fide written representation and agreement, signed
         by the Optionee or other person then entitled to exercise the Option,
         in a form satisfactory to the Board and stating that (i) the Option
         Shares (including any Performance Shares) are being acquired for the
         account of the Optionee or such other person for investment and without
         any then present intention of distributing or reselling any of such
         shares except as may be permitted under the Securities Act of 1933, as
         amended (the "Securities Act"), and then applicable rules and
         regulations thereunder, and (ii) the Optionee or such other person will
         indemnify the Company against and hold it harmless from any loss,
         damage, expense or liability resulting to the Company from any sale or
         distribution of such shares by the Optionee or such other

                                        5

<PAGE>   6

         person that shall be contrary to such representation and agreement (The
         Board may take such additional actions as it may deem appropriate to
         insure the observance and performance of such representation and
         agreement and to effect compliance with the Securities Act and any
         other federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, including
         but not limited to requiring an opinion of counsel acceptable to the
         Board to the effect that any subsequent transfer of such shares does
         not violate the Securities Act or other federal or state securities
         laws, rules or regulations and issuing stop-transfer orders covering
         such shares. Share certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock
         issued upon exercise of the Option shall bear an appropriate legend
         referring to the provisions of this subsection (c) and the agreements
         herein. The written representation and agreement referred to in this
         subsection (c) shall not be required, however, if the shares of Common
         Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise have been registered under
         the Securities Act and such registration is then effective with respect
         to such shares.);

                  (d) full payment to the Company (or other employer
         corporation) in accordance with Section 8 hereof of all applicable
         federal, state and local taxes that shall be required to be withheld
         upon exercise of the Option; and

                  (e) in the event the Option shall be exercised by any person
         or persons other than the Optionee, appropriate proof of the right of
         such person or persons to exercise the Option.

         5. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Company shall make reasonable efforts to
comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and
regulations and the rules of any securities exchange on which shares of the
Common Stock may hereafter be trading (or, if applicable, the rules of The
Nasdaq Stock Market); provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of
this agreement, the Option shall not be exercisable:

                                        6

<PAGE>   7

                  (a) unless and until the Option Shares (including Performance
         Shares) shall have been listed on all securities exchanges on which
         shares of the Common Stock are then trading (or, if applicable, The
         Nasdaq Stock Market);

                  (b) unless and until the Option Shares (including Performance
         Shares) shall have been duly registered or qualified under such federal
         and state securities laws, rules and regulations as the Board may deem
         necessary or advisable; or

                  (c) if the exercise of the Option, or the issuance or transfer
         of Option Shares (including Performance Shares) upon the exercise
         thereof, would result in a violation of any such law, rule or
         regulation.

         6. TRANSFERABILITY AND EXERCISABILITY OF OPTION. Neither the Option nor
any interest therein may be transferred by the Optionee except by will or the
laws of descent and distribution, and the Option may not be exercised during the
lifetime of the Optionee except by the Optionee or, in the event of the
Optionee's legal incapacity, by the Optionee's duly appointed guardian or legal
representative acting on behalf of the Optionee in a fiduciary capacity.

         7. ADJUSTMENTS. The Board shall make any adjustments in the Exercise
Price and the number or kind of shares of stock or other securities covered by
the Option that the Board may in good faith determine to be equitably required
to prevent any dilution or expansion of the Optionee's rights under this
agreement that otherwise would result from any (a) stock dividend, stock split,
combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure
of the Company, (b) merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out,
split-up, reorganization or partial or complete liquidation or other
distribution of assets or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or
otherwise acquire securities or (c) other corporate transaction or event having
an effect similar to any of those referred to in clause (a) or (b) of this
sentence. Furthermore, in the event that any transaction or event described or
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall occur, the Board may

                                        7

<PAGE>   8

provide in substitution of any or all of the Optionee's rights under this
agreement such alternative consideration as the Board may determine in good
faith to be equitable under the circumstances.

         8. WITHHOLDING TAXES. If the Company shall be required to withhold any
federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection with any exercise of the
Option, the Optionee shall pay the tax or make provisions that are satisfactory
to the Company for the payment thereof. With the consent of the Board, the
Optionee may elect to satisfy all or any part of any such withholding obligation
by transfer to the Company of nonforfeitable, nonrestricted shares of Common
Stock that shall be owned by the Optionee and shall have been outstanding for at
least six months prior to the date of exercise or by surrendering to the Company
a portion of the Option Shares that are issued or transferred to the Optionee
upon the exercise of the Option, and the Option Shares so transferred or
surrendered by the Optionee shall be credited against any such withholding
obligation at the Market Value per Share on the date of exercise.

         9. COMPANY OPTION TO REPURCHASE OPTION SHARES. (a) If the Optionee
voluntarily terminates his or her employment with the Company or a Subsidiary
prior to the fourth anniversary of the Initial Vesting Date, the Company will
have the unconditional option to purchase any or all of the then outstanding
Option Shares (including Performance Shares) for the Exercise Price, and
regardless of whether the Company exercises such option, the Optionee will be
released from the covenant not to compete set forth in Section 10 hereof.

                  (b) If the Optionee's employment with the Company or a
Subsidiary terminates prior to the fourth anniversary of the Initial Vesting
Date for any reason other than its voluntary termination by the Optionee, the
Optionee (i) may give the Company the option to purchase any and all of the then
outstanding Option Shares (including Performance Shares) (and, if applicable,
any and all of the Option Shares, including Performance Shares, that may be
issued or transferred upon exercise of the Option during the ninety-day period
referred to in Section 2(a) hereof) for the

                                        8

<PAGE>   9

Exercise Price and, regardless of whether the Company exercises such option, be
released from the covenant not to compete set forth in Section 10 hereof or (ii)
may not give the Company such option and, thus, be subject to the covenant not
to compete set forth in Section 10 hereof (any option referred to in Section
9(a) and this Section 9(b) being hereinafter referred to as a "Company Purchase
Option").

                  (c) If the Company elects to exercise a Company Purchase
Option, it must do so within 60 days after the termination of the Optionee's
employment. A Company Purchase Option may be exercised in whole or in part. The
aggregate amount owed by the Company to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of
a Company Purchase Option shall be payable in cash promptly after the exercise
of the Company Purchase Option.

                  (d) The provisions of this Section 9 shall become null and
void and of no further force or effect upon the consummation of an initial
public offering of common stock of the Company (an "IPO").

         10. NONCOMPETITION AND NONSOLICITATION. (a) RECITALS. The Optionee
acknowledges and agrees that he has technical expertise associated with the
heavy duty truck parts business and related businesses, as conducted by the
Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date of termination of his employment
(the "Business"), and is well known in the Business community throughout the
United States. The Optionee also has valuable business contacts with clients and
potential clients of the Business and with professionals in the Business, and
the Optionee's reputation and goodwill are an integral part of his business
success throughout the areas where the Business is and will be conducted. The
Company would not have granted the Optionee the Option and entered into this
agreement but for the Optionee's covenant not to compete set forth in Section
10(b) hereof and, therefore, if the Optionee deprives the Company of any of his
goodwill or in any manner uses his

                                        9

<PAGE>   10

reputation and goodwill in competition with the Company, the Company will be
deprived of the benefits it has bargained for pursuant to this agreement.

                  (b) COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE. During the Optionee's employment
with the Company (including any Subsidiary) and for a period of 12 months
thereafter (such period of employment and the twelve-month period thereafter
being hereinafter referred to as the "Term"), the Optionee will not directly or
indirectly own (except ownership of less than five percent of the outstanding
securities of a publicly-traded company), join, manage, operate or control, or
participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be
affiliated or associated as a director, officer, employee, partner, consultant
or otherwise with, or permit his name to be used by or in connection with, any
profit or nonprofit business or organization that is engaged in the Business in
whole or in part anywhere in the United States so long as the Company (including
any Subsidiary) carries on the Business therein.

                  (c) NO SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS OR EMPLOYEES. The Optionee
agrees that:

                      (i) during the Term, the Optionee will not directly or
         indirectly divert or take away (or attempt to divert or take away) from
         the Company or any affiliate of the Company (including but not limited
         to by way of divulging to any competitor or potential competitor of the
         Company) any person, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity
         that is or was a customer of Company or whose identity is known to
         Optionee at the date hereof or the date of termination of his
         employment with the Company or a Subsidiary as one whom the Company or
         any affiliate of the Company intends to solicit, except in connection
         with any business endeavor that is not prohibited by Section 10(b)
         hereof; and

                      (ii) during the Term, the Optionee will not directly or
         indirectly hire or offer employment to, or seek to hire or offer
         employment (other than employment with the

                                       10

<PAGE>   11

         Company or a Subsidiary) to, any employee of the Company whose
         employment is continued by the Company or a Subsidiary after the date
         hereof or any employee of any successor or affiliate of the Company or
         a Subsidiary that is engaged in the Business, unless the Company or a
         Subsidiary first terminates the employment of such employee or gives
         its written consent to such employment or offer of employment.

                  (d) SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. In the event that the
provisions of this Section 10 should ever be determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to exceed the time or geographic or other limitations permitted by
applicable law, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed to the maximum
time or geographic or other limitations permitted by applicable law, as
determined by such court. Without limiting the foregoing, the covenants
contained herein shall be construed as separate covenants, covering their
respective subject matters, with respect to (i) each of the separate counties of
the State of Illinois and other places in which the Company or a Subsidiary
transacts any business, (ii) each business conducted by the Company or a
Subsidiary, and (iii) the Company and each Subsidiary and their respective
successors separately. Each breach of the covenants set forth herein shall give
rise to a separate and independent cause of action.

                  (e) INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The Optionee acknowledges that (i) the
provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11 hereof are reasonable and necessary
to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, and (ii) any violation of
this Section 10 or Section 11 hereof will result in irreparable injury to the
Company and Subsidiaries, the exact amount of which will be difficult to
ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such violation would not be
reasonable or adequate compensation to the Company and Subsidiaries for such a
violation. Accordingly, the Optionee agrees that if he violates the provisions
of this Section 10 or Section 11 hereof, in addition to any other remedy that
may be available at law or in equity, the Company and Subsidiaries shall be
entitled to specific

                                       11

<PAGE>   12

performance and injunctive relief, without posting bond or other security and
without the necessity of proving actual damages.

         11. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF OPTION SHARES. (a) There can be no
valid transfer (as hereinafter defined) of any Option Shares (including
Performance Shares), or any interest in such shares, by any holder of such
shares or interests, unless such transfer is solely for cash consideration and
is made in compliance with the following provisions:

                           (i) Before there can be a valid transfer of any
         Option Shares (including Performance Shares) or any interest therein,
         the record holder of the shares to be transferred or the shares in
         which an interest is to be transferred (the "Offered Shares") shall
         give written notice (by registered or certified mail) to the Company.
         Such notice shall specify the identity of the proposed transferee, the
         cash price offered for the Offered Shares by the proposed transferee
         and the other terms and conditions of the proposed transfer. The date
         such notice is mailed shall be hereinafter referred to as the "notice
         date" and the record holder of the Offered Shares shall be hereinafter
         referred to as the "Offeror."

                           (ii) For a period of 30 calendar days after the
         notice date, the Company shall have the option to purchase all (but not
         less than all) of the Offered Shares at the purchase price and on the
         terms set forth in subsection (a)(iii) of this Section 11. Such option
         shall be exercisable by the Company by mailing (by registered or
         certified mail) written notice of exercise to the Offeror prior to the
         end of such thirty-day period.

                           (iii) The price at which the Company may purchase the
         Offered Shares pursuant to the exercise of such option shall be the
         cash price offered for the Offered Shares by the proposed transferee
         (as set forth in the notice required under subsection (a)(i) of this
         Section 11). The Company's notice of exercise of such option shall be
         accompanied by full

                                       12

<PAGE>   13

         payment for the Offered Shares and, upon such payment by the Company,
         the Company shall acquire all right, title and interest in and to all
         of the Offered Shares.

                           (iv) If such option is not exercised by the Company,
         the transfer proposed in the notice given pursuant to subsection (a)(i)
         of this Section 11 may be effected; provided, however, that such
         transfer must in all respects be exactly as proposed in such notice
         except that such transfer may not be effected before the tenth calendar
         day after the expiration of such thirty-day option exercise period or
         after the ninetieth calendar day following the expiration of such
         thirty-day option exercise period, and if such transfer has not been
         effected prior to such ninetieth day, such transfer may not be effected
         without once again complying with the provisions of this subsection
         (a).

                  (b) As used in this Section 11 the term "transfer" means any
sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, pledge, gift or other form of
disposition or encumbrance of shares of stock of the Company or any legal or
equitable interest therein; provided, however, that the term "transfer" does not
include a transfer of such shares or interests by will or the laws of descent
and distribution or a gift of such shares if the donee agrees to be bound by the
provisions of this Section 11.

                  (c) None of the Option Shares (including Performance Shares)
shall be transferred on the books of the Company, and the Company shall not
recognize any such transfer of any such shares or any interest therein, unless
and until all applicable provisions of this Section 11 have been complied with
in all respects. The stock certificates evidencing Option Shares (including
Performance Shares) shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the transfer
restrictions imposed by this Section 11 and the Company Purchase Option provided
for in Section 9 hereof.

                  (d) The provisions of this Section 11 shall become null and
void and of no further force or effect upon the consummation of an IPO.

                                       13

         12. RIGHT TO TERMINATE EMPLOYMENT AND ADJUST COMPENSATION. No provision
of this agreement shall limit in any way whatsoever any right that the Company
or a Subsidiary may otherwise have to terminate the employment or adjust the
compensation of the Optionee at any time.

         13. RELATION TO OTHER BENEFITS. Any economic or other benefit to the
Optionee under this agreement or the Plan shall not be taken into account in
determining any benefits to which the Optionee may be entitled under any
profit-sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by
the Company or a Subsidiary and shall not affect the amount of any life
insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance plan
covering employees of the Company or a Subsidiary.

         14. AMENDMENTS. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an
amendment to this agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable
hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall adversely affect the rights
of the Optionee hereunder without the Optionee's written consent.

         15. SEVERABILITY. In the event that one or more of the provisions of
this agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent
jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable from
the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall continue
to be valid and fully enforceable.

         16. GOVERNING LAW. This agreement is made under, and shall be construed
in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.

         This agreement is executed by the Company on this ____ day of

                            CITY TRUCK HOLDINGS, INC.

                            NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION

                              PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

         This Annex A to the Nonqalified Stock Option Agreement dated as of
__________________, between the Company and the Optionee (the "Agreement") sets
forth the Performance Criteria relating to the vesting of Performance Share
Increments. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Agreement.

         For each Performance Year, the percentage of a Performance Share
Increment for which the Option shall become exercisable will be determined by
comparing the Company's actual EBITDA (as defined below) as of the end of the
applicable Performance Year (based on the Company's audited consolidated
financial statements for the fiscal year then ended) to Plan EBITDA (as defined
below) for such fiscal year. The percentage of the Performance Share Increment
for which the Option shall be exercisable as of the end of each Performance Year
is set forth in the following table:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                            Percentage of Performance
        Actual EBITDA as a %                   Share Increment for
               of Plan                           Which the Option
               EBITDA                            May Be Exercised
        --------------------                -------------------------
<S>                                         <C>
        less than   85.00%                              0%
          1999
                    88.75%                             30%
                    92.50%                             60%
                    96.25%                             80%

                      100%                            100%
</TABLE>

         Exercisability between the percentages listed in the table above will
be linearly interpolated.

         "EBITDA" means, for any fiscal year, consolidated pre-tax income plus
interest expense (including noncash interest, amortization of original issue
discount and the interest component of capital leases) on indebtedness and
amortization of goodwill, covenants not to compete and similar intangibles, all
as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and as
reflected in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements.

         "Plan EBITDA" means, for each Performance Year, the dollar amount of
EBITDA set forth in the Annual Operating Plan to be developed by management and
approved by the Board. Plan EBITDA will be adjusted from time to time as may be
mutually agreed upon to reflect the expected contribution to EBITDA of
acquisitions or major corporate projects.

                                       A-1

<PAGE>   17

         If less than 100% of a Performance Share Increment shall vest and
become exercisable as of the end of a Performance Year, but in the immediately
succeeding Performance Year the Company's actual EBITDA exceeds Plan EBITDA, the
Company will add the dollar amount by which the Company's actual EBITDA exceeds
Plan EBITDA for such immediately succeeding Performance Year to the Company's
EBITDA for the immediately preceding Performance Year, and that part of the
unvested portion of such Performance Share Increment that, with such dollar
amount carried back, would have vested and become exercisable in the immediately
preceding Performance Year shall vest and become exercisable as of the end of
such immediately succeeding Performance Year.
