commencing prior to January 1, 2009 are governed by the terms of the Plan as it existed prior to

relevant to the Claimant?s claim for benefits, and the Partic ipant?s right to bring an action for
benefits under section 502 of ERISA. If special circumstances require that the sixty (60) day
time period be extended, the Plan Administrator will so notify the Claimant and will render the
decision as soon as possible, but no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the
request for review.

        9.3        Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant may designate a Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries (which Beneficiary may be an entity other than a natural person) to receive any
payments which may be made following the Participant?s death. Such designation may be
changed or canceled at any time without the consent of any such Beneficiary. Any such
designation, change or cancellation must be made in a form approved by the Plan Administrator
and shall not be effective until received by the Plan Administrator, or its designee. If no
Ben eficiary has been named, or the designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall have
predeceased the Participant, the Beneficiary shall be the Participant?s estate. If a Participant
designates more than one Beneficiary, the interests of such Beneficiaries shall be paid in equal
shares, unless the Participant has specifically designated otherwise.

        9.4        Limitation of Participant?s Right. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed as
conferring upon any Participant any right to continue in the employment of the Employer, nor
shall it interfere with the rights of the Employer to terminate the employment of any Participant
and/or to take any personnel action affecting any Participant without regard to the effect which
such action may have upon such Participant as a recipient or prospective recipient of benefits
under the Plan. Any amounts payable hereunder shall not be deemed salary or oth er
compensation to a Participant for the purposes of computing benefits to which the Participant
may be entitled under any other arrangement established by the Employer for the benefit of its
employees.

        9.5        No Limitation on Company Actions. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be
construed to prevent the Company from taking any action which is deemed by it to be
appropriate or in its best interest. No Participant, Beneficiary, or other person shall have any
claim against the Company as a result of such action.

        9.6        Obligations to Company. If a Participant becomes entitled to a distribution of
benefits under the Plan, and if at such time the Participant has outstanding any debt, obligation,
or other liability representing an amount owing to the Employer, then, to the extent permitted under section 409A of the Code, the Company may offset such amount owed to it against the
amount of benefits otherwise distributable. Such determination shall be made by the Plan
Administrator.

        9.7        Nonalienation of Benefits. Except as expressly provided herein, no Participant or
Beneficiary shall have the power or right to transfer (otherwise than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution), alienate, or otherwise encumber the Participant?s interest under the
Plan. The Company?s obligations under this Plan are not assignable or transferable except to (a)
any corporation or partnership which acquires all or substantially all of the Company?s assets or
(b) any corporation or partnership into which the Company may be merged or consolidated. The
provisions of the Plan shall inure to the benefit of each Participant and the Participant?s
Beneficiaries, heirs, executors, ad ministrators or successors in interest.

        9.8        Protective Provisions. Each Participant shall cooperate with the Company by
furnishing any and all information requested by the Company, taking such physical examinations
as the Company may deem necessary and taking such other relevant action as may be requested
by the Company.

        9.9        Withholding Taxes. The Company may make such provisions and take such
action as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any taxes which the
Employer is required by any law or regulation of any governmental authority, whether Federal,
state or local, to withhold in connection with any benefits under the Plan, including, but not
limited to, the withholding of appropriate sums from any amount otherwise payable to the
Participant (or his Beneficiar y). Each Participant, however, shall be responsible for the payment
of all individual tax liabilities relating to any such benefits.

        9.10        Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an ?unfunded? plan
of deferred compensation for Participants. Benefits payable hereunder shall be payable out of the
general assets of the Company, and no segregation of any assets whatsoever for such benefits
shall be made. Notwithstanding any segregation of assets or transfer to a grantor trust, with
respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant, nothing contained herein shall give any
such Participant any rights to assets that are greater than those of a general creditor of the
Company.

        9.11        Severability. If any provision of this Plan is held unenforceable, the remainder of
th e Plan shall continue in full force and effect without regard to such unenforceable provision
and shall be applied as though the unenforceable provision were not contained in the Plan.

        9.12        Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by
the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without reference to the principles of conflict of
laws.

        9.13        Headings. Headings are inserted in this Plan for convenience of reference only
and are to be ignored in the construction of the provisions of the Plan.

        9.14        Gender, Singular and Plural. All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be
deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person or persons < br>may require. As the context may require, the singular may read as the plural and the plural as the
singular.

        9.15        Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Plan
Administrator or the Plan Administrator under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand
delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the Human Resources Department, or to such
other entity as the Plan Administrator or the Plan Administrator may designate from time to time.
Such notice shall be deemed given as to the date of delivery, or, if delivery is made by mail, as of
the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.

        9.16        Section 409A of the Code. The Plan is intended to comply with the applicable
requirements of section 409A of the Code and it s corresponding regulations and related
guidance, and shall be maintained and administrated in accordance with section 409A of the
Code to the extent Section 409A of the Code applies to the Plan. Notwithstanding anything in
the Plan to the contrary, elections to defer Base Salary and Bonus to the Plan, and distributions
from the Plan, may only be made in a manner, and upon an event, permitted by section 409A of
the Code. To the extent that any provision of the Plan would cause a conflict with the
requirements of section 409A of the Code, or would cause the administration of the Plan to fail
to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, such provision shall be deemed null and
void to the extent permitted by applicable law. Other than on a valid Enrollment Agreement, in
no event shall a Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in no event may a Specified Employee
commence receipt of his or her benefit under the Plan on account of a Separation From Service
prior to the date that is six months from his or her Separation Date. For avoidance of doubt,
deferrals under the Plan are maintained on a Plan Year basis.


        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment and Restatement of The Pep Boys
Deferred Compensation Plan is hereby executed effective as of the 19th day of December,
2008.
