1. Vesting. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Award:

(a) Time-vesting SARs. The SARs shall vest, with respect to the number of Shares indicated above in the box labeled “Time-vesting SARs,” if you remain continuously employed by the Company until the respective dates below. You may exercise them as to the number of SARs, in full or in part, at any time on or after the earliest Exercise Date or Dates identified in the following table:

(b) Performance-vesting SARs: The SARs shall vest, in an amount up to your Maximum Performance-vesting SARs (defined below) on March 1, [YEAR 4],¹ subject to your continued employment to that date and except as otherwise provided in Section 2 below. The precise amount in which you may vest will be determined in accordance with the following rules, subject to certification by the Committee of the Company's Economic Value Added (EVA) growth over the [YEAR 1] through [YEAR 3] fiscal years, relative to the normalized EVA growth, over the same period, of the peer companies identified by the Committee:

  

(i)If the Company's EVA growth is at the median level of the Company's peer group, you will have the opportunity to vest in all of the Performance-vesting Shares (at Target Level).

(ii)If the Company's EVA growth is above the median level of the Company's peer group, you will have the opportunity to vest in a multiple (set by the Committee) of your Performance-vesting SARs, up to your Maximum Performance-vesting SARs.

(iii)If the Company's EVA growth is below the median level of the Company's peer group but above the 40th percentile of the peer group, you will have the opportunity to vest in at least a fraction (set by the Committee) of your Performance-vesting SARs (so that the Total Number of SARs vested will be less than the Target Level).

(iv) If the Company's EVA growth is at or below the 40th percentile of the Company's peer group, you will not have the opportunity to vest in any portion of your Performance-vesting SARs (at Target Level or otherwise).

Your “Maximum Performance-vesting SARs” is 200% of the number of SARs indicated above in the box labeled “Total Number of SARs (at Target Level)” minus the number of your Time-vesting SARs.

2. SARs Duration and Exercise. You must retain all shares resulting from an exercise for a minimum of one year after the exercise date.

(a) Subject to the following, these SARs shall expire on the Expiration Date. However, if your employment or other association with the Company and its Affiliates ends before that date, these SARs shall expire on Expiration Date or, if earlier, the date specified in whichever of the following applies:

(i) If your employment or other association is terminated on account of Retirement, your Time-vesting SARs will nevertheless continue to become exercisable in accordance with the table above, and will expire ninety (90) days after the date on which all of your SARs (including any Performance-vesting SARs) are exercisable. If all of your SARs are exercisable as of the date of your Retirement, your SARs will expire ninety (90) days after the date your employment or other association ends on account of Retirement. For all purposes of this Award, “on account of Retirement” means, except in the event of termination of employment for cause as provided in Section 2(a)(v) below, termination of employment or other association following the attainment of at least 55 years of age and at least 10 years of service, of which the last three must be consecutive years with the Company. If, after termination of your employment or other association on account of Retirement and prior to March 1, 2016, you are employed by a competitor of the Company, defined for these purposes as AutoZone Inc., O'Reilly Automotive Inc., Pep Boys, Genuine Parts Company and/or NAPA Auto Parts, CarQuest Auto Parts, Fisher Auto Parts or Parts Depot Inc., all future vesting rights for SARs that have not yet vested as of the date of the commencement of such employment shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited.

(ii) If the termination of your employment or other association is on account of Disability, then any unvested Time-vesting SARs will vest immediately and will expire ninety (90) days after the date on which all of your SARs (including Performance-vesting SARs) are exercisable. If all of your SARs are exercisable as of the date of the termination of your employment or other association on account of Disability, your SARs will expire ninety (90) days after the date your employment or other association ends. For all purposes of this Award, “Disability” shall have the same meaning as that term is defined in your employment agreement with the Company in effect as of the date of this Award Agreement.

(iii) If the termination of your employment or other association is on account of Death, or you die within ninety (90) days of the termination of your employment or other association (other than when terminated for cause), then any remaining Time-vesting SARs will vest immediately and will expire on the date that is the later of twelve (12) months after your Death or ninety (90) days after the date on which all of your SARs (including Performance-vesting SARs) are exercisable.

(iv) If your employment or other association is terminated prior to March 1, [YEAR 4], on account of your Retirement, Disability or Death, your Performance-vesting SARs will vest on March 1, [YEAR 4], in an amount based on the Company's performance during the entire performance period, on a pro-rata basis for the time that you were employed during the performance period. Your performance-vesting SARs will expire ninety (90) days after March 1, [YEAER 4], except for termination of employment on account of Death, which will be the later of twelve (12) months after the date of your Death or ninety (90) days after March 1, [YEAR 4]. The pro rata amount will be determined by multiplying the number of Performance-vesting SARs that you would have received if you had been employed by the Company on March 1, [YEAR 4], by a fraction whose numerator is the number of completed months that you were employed during the performance period and whose denominator is 36.

(v) If the termination of your employment or other association is for cause, as defined in your employment agreement, all of your SARs, whether Performance-vesting SARs (at Target Level or otherwise) or Time-vesting SARs, will expire on the date your employment or other association ends.

(vi) If your employment or other association is terminated prior to March 1, [YEAR 4], by the Company other than for Due Cause, or by you for Good Reason, as those terms are defined in your Employment Agreement, your Performance-vesting SARs will vest immediately as of the date of the termination of your employment or other association on a pro-rata basis based on the Company's performance for the time that you were employed during the performance period measured as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter and will expire ninety (90) days after your employment or other association ends.

(vii) In all other cases, all of your SARs, whether Performance-vesting SARs (at Target Level or otherwise) or Time-vesting SARs, which have not vested before the date your employment or other association ends, will expire on the date your employment or other association ends, and all of your SARs which have vested will expire ninety (90) days after your employment or other association ends.

(b) Upon a Change in Control the Company will determine the pro rata portion of your Performance-vesting SARs based on the Company's performance during the performance period preceding the Change of Control measured as of the Company's most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the Change in Control event.  The pro rata portion of your performance-vesting SARs will continue to vest and become exercisable on March 1, [YEAR 4], and any balance of your Performance-vesting SARs will expire.  Any remaining SARs (including the pro rata portion of your Performance-vesting SARs as determined pursuant to this Section 2) will immediately become exercisable (i) upon the Change in Control in the event that the successor organization does not assume, convert, or replace the awards; or (ii) upon termination of your employment in the event the successor organization assumes, converts or replaces the awards, and your employment is terminated other than for cause within 24 months following the Change in Control.   Your SARs will expire ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the events described in subsections (b)(i) or (ii) of this Section 2.

(c) If within four months following the effective date of this Award you are determined to have unacceptable job performance based upon your performance evaluation for the fiscal year in which this Award was granted, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President who is responsible for Rewards may cancel this Award in its entirety.

(d) No shares of Common Stock shall be issued to you prior to the date on which the SARs are exercised in accordance with this Section 2. Upon exercise of the SARs, you shall be entitled to receive a number of Issued Shares for each share with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Rights are exercised equal to (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share on the date of exercise over the Grant Price, divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one share on the date of exercise. The Issued Shares shall be issued in book-entry form, registered in your name or in the name of your legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as the case may be. The Company will not deliver any fractional share of Common Stock but will pay, in lieu thereof, cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional share.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, during any period that any of these SARs remain outstanding after your employment or other association with the Company and its Affiliates ends, you may exercise them only to the extent they were exercisable immediately prior to the end of your employment or other association. In no event may any of these SARs be exercised after they expire as determined in accordance with Section 2.

(f) At any time you may exercise these SARs by delivery to the Company (the date such delivery occurs is hereinafter referred to as the “Exercise Date”) a notice which shall state that you elect to exercise the SARs as to the number of shares specified in the notice as of the date specified in the notice. Such notice should be made to the stock administrator at the Company headquarters or its designee. All notices will be acknowledged and validated by the Company or its designee prior to actual exercise of a SAR.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award, as to any SARs which have not then become exercisable, the Company may cancel these SARs at any time and without prior notice, and as to SARs which are then exercisable the Company may cancel these SARs at any time on ninety (90) days prior notice to you, in response to actions taken by you that could be considered detrimental to the Company or any of its Affiliates. Whether any of your actions could be considered detrimental will be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) consistent with the definition of Cause as defined in your employment agreement.

3. Transfer of SARs. You may not transfer any or all of these SARs except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during your lifetime, only you (or in the event of your Disability, your legal guardian or representative) may exercise these SARs. Any attempt to sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of the SARs granted by this Award in contravention of this Award or the Plan shall be void.

4. No Rights as a Stockholder. You shall have no rights as a stockholder of any Common Stock covered by these SARs until the Exercise Date and entry evidencing such ownership is made in the stock transfer books of the Company. Except as may be provided under Section 4(c) of the Plan, the Company will make no adjustment for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary and whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions of other rights for which the record date is prior to the Exercise Date.

5. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Award shall be in writing, and if by telecopy, shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered when sent, or if by personal delivery or messenger or courier service, shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered upon actual delivery (but in no event may notice be given by deposit in the United States mail), at the following addresses, telephone and facsimile numbers (or such other address(es), telephone and facsimile numbers a party may designate for itself by like notice):

You should rely on your own tax advisors for such advice. In order to comply with all applicable federal or state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are your sole and absolute responsibility, are withheld or collected from you at the time of your exercise of the SARs.
