Our Company

We are the largest distributor of replacement tires in North America based on dollar amount of wholesale sales and number of warehouses. We provide a wide range of products and value-added services to customers in each of the key market channels to enable tire retailers to more effectively service and grow sales to consumers. Through our network of more than 140 distribution centers in the United States and Canada, we offer access to an extensive breadth and depth of inventory, representing more than 40,000 stock-keeping units (“SKUs”), to approximately 80,000 customers. In 2013, we distributed more than 40 million replacement tires after giving effect to recent acquisitions. We estimate that our share of the replacement passenger and light truck tire market in 2013, after giving effect to our recently completed acquisitions, would have been approximately 14% in the United States, up from approximately 1% in 1996, and approximately 21% in Canada.

We serve a highly diversified customer base across multiple channels, comprised of local, regional and national independent tire retailers, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, tire manufacturer-owned stores, automotive dealerships and web-based marketers. We have a significant market presence in a number of these key market channels and we believe that we are the only replacement tire distributor in North America that services each of these key market channels. During fiscal 2013, our largest customer and top ten customers accounted for 3.1% and 10.9%, respectively, of our net sales. We believe we are a top supplier to many of our customers and have maintained relationships with our top 20 customers that exceed a decade on average.

We believe we distribute one of the broadest product offerings in our industry, supplying our customers with nine of the top ten leading passenger and light truck tire brands. We carry the flag brands from each of the four largest tire manufacturers—Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear and Michelin—as well as the Cooper, Hankook, Kumho, Nexen, Nitto and Pirelli brands. We also sell lower price point associate and proprietary brands of these and many other tire manufacturers, and through our acquisition of The Hercules Tire and Rubber Company (“Hercules”) we also own and market our proprietary Hercules^® brand, the number one private brand in North America in 2013 based on unit sales. In addition, we sell custom wheels and accessories and related tire supplies and tools. In fiscal 2013, tire sales accounted for 97.4% of our net sales, with sales of passenger and light truck tires accounting for 82.3% of our net sales. Tire supplies, tools and custom wheels and accessories represented approximately 2.6% of our net sales. We believe that our large and diverse product offering allows us to penetrate the replacement tire market across a broad range of price points.

Our growth strategy, coupled with our access to capital and our scalable platform, enables us to continue to expand organically in existing markets as well as in new geographic areas. We also expect to continue to employ a selective acquisition strategy to increase our share in the markets we currently service as well as to expand our distribution into new markets, utilizing our scale in an effort to realize significant synergies. In addition, we are investing in technology and each sales channel to fuel our future growth. As a result, we believe that we are well positioned to continue to achieve above-market growth in all market environments and to continue to enhance our profitability and cash flows.

Geographic Footprint

In fiscal 2009, our net income was $4.9 million and in fiscal 2013 our net loss was $6.4 million. This decrease in net income was primarily the result of increased interest expense related to our acquisition by investment funds affiliated with TPG in 2010, as well as interest associated with our eight acquisitions from 2010 through 2013, and non-cash amortization expense related to our intangible assets. From fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2013, our net sales increased from $2.2 billion to $3.8 billion, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 15.3%, and Adjusted EBITDA increased from $101.0 million to $195.5 million, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 17.9%. See “Selected Consolidated Financial and Other Data” for a presentation of net sales and Adjusted EBITDA data for each of our fiscal years in this period. Over the same period, our unit volume grew from approximately 19.5 million to approximately 26.0 million while, according to the RMA, unit volume in the North American replacement tire market grew from approximately 238.9 million to approximately 246.0 million. Our superior growth was driven by our organic initiatives and our acquisitions.

For the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013, our net sales were $2.6 billion and $5.1 billion, respectively, our net loss from continuing operations was $77.0 million and $47.5 million, respectively, and our Adjusted EBITDA was $93.1 million and $251.5 million, respectively, in each

2

case including the pro forma effects of our recent acquisitions. Additional information regarding Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA, including a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations and a reconciliation of pro forma Adjusted EBITDA to pro forma net income (loss) from continuing operations, is included in “—Summary Consolidated Financial and Other Data.” Additional information regarding the pro forma effects of our recent acquisitions is included in “—Summary Consolidated Financial and Other Data” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information.”

We have a substantial amount of debt, which requires significant interest and principal payments. See “Risk Factors—As of July 5, 2014, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to this offering and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, we would have had total indebtedness of approximately $             million, and our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and growth strategy.”

Our Industry

According to Modern Tire Dealer, the U.S. replacement tire market generated annual retail sales of approximately $37.3 billion in 2013. Passenger tires, medium truck tires and light truck tires accounted for 66.9%, 16.9% and 13.1%, respectively, of the total U.S. market. Farm, specialty and other types of tires accounted for the remaining 3.1% of the total U.S. market. The Canadian replacement tire market generated annual retail sales of approximately $3.7 billion in 2012. Passenger and light truck tires accounted for 53% while commercial tires accounted for 20% of the total Canadian replacement tire market. Farm, specialty and other types of tires accounted for the remaining 27% of the total Canadian replacement tire market. According to a Tire Review survey conducted in 2013, U.S. tire dealers buy 55.4% of their consumer tires from wholesale distributors like us and 27.7% direct from tire manufacturers, with the remaining volume coming from various other sources.

In the United States and Canada, replacement tires are sold to consumers through several different channels, including local, regional and national independent tire retailers, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, tire manufacturer-owned stores, automotive dealerships and web-based marketers. Between 1990 and 2013, independent tire retailers and automotive dealerships have enjoyed the largest increase in U.S. replacement tire market share, according to Modern Tire Dealer, moving from 54% to 60.5% and 1% to 7.5% of the market, respectively. In 2012, replacement tire sales to independent tire retailers and automotive dealerships represented approximately 44% and 18%, respectively, of Canadian replacement tire market share. Mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, manufacturer-owned stores and web-based marketers comprise the remaining market share in both the United States and Canada.

Since 2000, the number of specific tire sizes in the market has increased by 61%. One driver of this increase was above-market growth in high-performance tires. The increase in the number of tire sizes, coupled with the large number of brands in the market place, has driven SKU proliferation in the replacement tire market. As a result of this SKU proliferation and due to their capital and physical space constraints, many tire retailers are unable to carry sufficient inventory to meet the demands of their customers. This trend has helped increase the need for distributors in the replacement tire market.

The U.S. and Canadian replacement tire markets have historically experienced stable growth and favorable pricing dynamics. However, these markets are subject to changes in consumer confidence and economic conditions. As a result, tire consumers may opt to temporarily defer replacement tire purchases or purchase less costly brands during challenging economic periods when macroeconomic factors such as unemployment, high fuel costs and weakness in the housing market impact their financial health.

From 1955 through 2013, U.S. replacement tire unit shipments increased by an average of approximately 3% per year. We believe that we are experiencing the beginning of a recovery after a prolonged downturn, which began in 2008 for the replacement tire market. Replacement tire unit shipments were up 4.4%

3

in the United States and 0.7% in Canada in 2013 as compared to 2012, as a rebound in the housing market, a decline in unemployment rates and increases in vehicle sales and vehicle miles driven impacted the U.S. and Canadian replacement tire markets favorably. The RMA projects that replacement tire shipments will increase by approximately 2% in the United States in 2014 as compared to 2013, as demand drivers continue to strengthen.

Going forward, we believe that long-term growth in the U.S. and Canadian replacement tire markets will continue to be driven by favorable underlying dynamics, including:

• increases in the number and average age of passenger cars and light trucks;

• increases in the number of miles driven;

• increases in the number of licensed drivers as the U.S. and Canadian population continues to grow;

• increases in the number of replacement tire SKUs;

• growth of the high-performance tire market; and

• shortening of tire replacement cycles due to changes in product mix that increasingly favor high-performance tires, which have shorter average lives.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe the following key strengths have enabled us to become the largest distributor of replacement tires in North America and position us to achieve future revenue growth in excess of the long-term growth rates of the U.S. and Canadian replacement tire industry:

Leading Position in a Large and Highly Fragmented Marketplace. We are the largest distributor of replacement tires in North America with an estimated market share in 2013 of approximately 14%, after giving effect to our recently completed acquisitions, in a $37.3 billion market in the United States. Our estimated market share in 2013 of the replacement passenger and light truck tire market in Canada was approximately 21%, after giving effect to our recently completed acquisitions. We believe our scale provides us key competitive advantages relative to our smaller, and generally regionally-focused, competitors. These include the ability to: efficiently stock and deliver a wide variety of tires; invest in services, including sales tools and technologies, to support our customers; and realize operating efficiencies from our scalable infrastructure. We believe our leading market position and presence in each of the key market channels, combined with our commitment to distribution, as opposed to the retail operations engaged in by our customers, enhances our ability to expand our sales footprint cost effectively both in our existing markets and in new domestic geographic markets.

Scale Advantage from Extensive and Efficient Distribution Network. We believe we have the largest independent replacement tire distribution network in North America with more than 140 distribution centers (excluding distribution centers acquired in our recent acquisitions that are expected to be closed as part of the integration process) and approximately 1,000 delivery vehicles. Our distribution footprint services geographic regions in the United States that represented more than 90% of the replacement tire market for passenger and light truck tires in 2013, and we believe our geographic coverage in Canada is also very extensive. Our extensive distribution footprint, combined with sophisticated inventory management and logistics technologies, enables us to deliver the vast majority of orders on a same or next day basis, which is critical for tire retailers who are typically limited by physical inventory capacity and working capital constraints. Our delivery technologies allow us to more effectively and efficiently organize and optimize our route systems to provide timely product delivery. Our distribution systems are integrated with our proprietary business-to-business ATDOnline^® order fulfillment

4

system that captures more than 65% of our orders electronically, and our Oracle enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system provides a scalable platform that can support future growth and ongoing cost reduction initiatives, including warehouse and truck management systems, which we believe will allow us to continue reducing warehouse and delivery costs per unit.

Broad Product Offering from Diverse Supplier Base. We believe we offer the most comprehensive selection of passenger and light truck tires in the industry through a diverse group of suppliers. We supply nine of the top ten leading passenger and light truck tire brands, and we carry the flag brands from each of the four largest tire manufacturers—Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear and Michelin—as well as the Cooper, Hankook, Kumho, Nexen, Nitto and Pirelli brands. Our tire product line includes a full suite of flag, associate and proprietary brand tires, allowing us to service a broad range of price points from entry-level imported products to the faster-growing high- performance category. Through our acquisition of Hercules, we also own and market our proprietary Hercules^® brand, the number one private brand in North America in 2013 based on unit sales. In addition to tires, we also offer custom wheels and accessories and related tire supplies and tools. We believe that our broad product offering drives increased sales among existing customers, attracts new customers and increases customer retention.

Broad Range of Value-Added Services. We provide a wide range of services that enable our tire retailer customers to operate their businesses more profitably. These services include convenient access to and timely delivery of the broadest product offerings available in the industry, as well as fundamental business support services, such as administration of tire manufacturer affiliate programs and credit, training and access to consumer market data, which enable our tire retailer customers to better service their individual markets. We provide our U.S. customers with convenient 24/7 access to our extensive product offerings through our proprietary business-to-business web portal, ATDOnline^®. Our online services also include TireBuyer.com^®, which allows our U.S. independent tire retailers the ability to participate in the Internet marketing of tires to consumers. We also provide select, qualified U.S. independent tire retailers with the opportunity to participate in our Tire Pros^® franchise program through which they receive advertising and marketing support and the benefits of a national brand identity. We believe our value-added services as well as the integration between our infrastructure and our customers’ operations enable us to maintain high rates of customer retention and build strong customer loyalty.

Diversified Customer Base and Longstanding Customer Relationships Across Multiple Channels. We serve a highly diversified customer base in each of the key market channels, including local, regional and national independent tire retailers, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, tire manufacturer-owned stores, automotive dealerships and web-based marketers. We believe we are the only distributor of replacement tires in North America that services each of these key market channels. Our business is diversified across the key market channels and reflects the evolving complexity of the North American replacement tire market, with independent tire retailers accounting for 76% of our net sales in 2013 as compared to 85% of our net sales in 2009. We believe we are a top supplier to many of our customers and maintain relationships with our top 20 customers that exceed a decade on average. We believe the diversity of our customer base and the strength of our customer relationships present an opportunity to grow market share regardless of macroeconomic and replacement tire market conditions.

Consistent Financial Performance and Strong Cash Flow Generation. Our financial performance has benefited from substantial growth that has been achieved through a combination of organic initiatives and acquisitions. Over the ten-year period from fiscal 2003 to fiscal 2013, our net sales grew at a compound annual rate of 13.2%, reflecting our strong revenue base, evolving business mix, scalable operating model and successful growth strategies. For information regarding our net sales in each fiscal year during this period, see the chart appearing in “Business—Our Competitive Strengths” elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition, we believe the low capital intensity of our business combined with the efficient management of our working capital, due in part to our advanced inventory management systems in the United States that we are also in the process of implementing in Canada, and close vendor relationships, will enable us to generate strong cash flows. In

5

addition, as a result of our presence in each major channel within the replacement tire market and based upon our ability to rationalize our operating costs, as necessary, we experienced only moderate margin contraction during the recent economic downturn.

Experienced Management Team Supported by Strong Equity Sponsorship. Our senior management team, led by our President and Chief Executive Officer William E. Berry, has an average of over 20 years of experience in the replacement tire distribution industry. Although we have experienced net losses for the past three years, management has implemented successful initiatives in a leveraged environment, including the execution of a disciplined acquisition strategy, which has contributed to our gross profit expansion and above-market net sales growth during that period. In addition, we have reduced costs through the integration of operating systems and introduction of standard operating practices, particularly in the United States, resulting in improved operating efficiencies, reduced headcount and improved operating profit at existing and acquired locations. We also benefit from the extensive management and business experience provided by our Sponsor, TPG.

Our Business Strategy

Our objective is to further expand our position as the largest distributor of replacement tires in North America and establish our company as the leading distributor in each of the key market channels that we serve, while continuing to provide our customers with a range of value-added services such as frequent and timely delivery of inventory, the broadest and deepest range of products, and other business support services. We intend to accomplish this objective, drive above-market growth and further enhance our profitability and cash flows by executing on the following key operating strategies:

Grow Organically in Excess of Market. It is at the core of our strategy to grow our profits and cash flows organically through further penetration of all of our key market channels, through greenfield expansion, through further penetration of our Hercules^® brand, the number one private brand in North America in 2013 based on unit sales, through further establishment and expansion of TireBuyer.com^®, and through further expansion and development of our value-added services.

Expand Penetration in Each of the Key Market Channels. We have a significant presence in each of the key market channels, including local, regional and national independent tire retailers, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, tire manufacturer-owned stores, automotive dealerships and web-based marketers. We regularly seek opportunities to grow our market share in each channel by customizing our sales strategies to suit the particular needs of that channel, and are focused on training and deploying sales personnel to help build our sales, particularly in the faster-growing automotive dealership channel, and strengthen and expand our relationships with retailers. We have observed an increase in sales through web-based marketers and seek to grow our presence in that channel through our Internet site, TireBuyer.com^®.

Continue Greenfield Expansion in Existing and New Geographic Markets. While we already have the largest distribution footprint in the North American replacement tire market, servicing geographic regions in the United States that represented more than 90% of the replacement tire market for passenger and light truck tires in 2013 and with geographic coverage in Canada that we believe is also very extensive, we believe there are numerous further underserved areas in both our existing geographic markets as well as in areas not currently serviced by us that are favorably situated to support and grow additional distribution centers. Since 2010, we have successfully opened 23 greenfield distribution centers, and we intend to continue to expand our existing footprint in the United States and Canada in areas where we see opportunities.

6

Expand our Hercules^® Brand. Through our recently completed acquisition of Hercules, we now market the proprietary Hercules^® brand, the number one private brand in North America in 2013 based on unit sales. We believe our expansive distribution network in the United States and Canada, combined with our greater access to capital, will allow us to both expand product availability and increase market share of the Hercules^® brand. Further, we expect that Hercules’ multi-decade Asian sourcing experience, including its 250,000 square foot warehouse in northern China, will enhance our supply and distribution capabilities.

Grow TireBuyer.com^® into a Premier Internet Tire Provider. TireBuyer.com^® is an Internet site that enables our U.S. independent tire retailer customers to connect with consumers. TireBuyer.com^® allows our broad base of independent tire retailers to participate in a greater share of the growing Internet tire market. We believe that TireBuyer.com^® complements and services our participating U.S. independent tire retailers by providing them access to a sales and marketing channel previously unavailable to them. In 2012, the TireBuyer.com^® site was re-launched on a newer, faster and more flexible platform, which has enhanced the overall consumer experience and resulted in increased traffic to the site.

Continue to Develop and Expand our Value-Added Services. Our Tire Pros^® franchise program enables us to deliver advertising and marketing support to tire retailers operating as Tire Pros^® franchisees. The Tire Pros^® franchise program allows participating local tire retailers to enjoy the benefits of a national brand identity with minimal investment, while still maintaining their local identities. In return, we benefit from increasing volume penetration among, and further aligning ourselves with, our franchisees. We are focused on continuing to upgrade and improve the Tire Pros^® franchise program and seek opportunities to develop similar programs in the future. In addition, individual manufacturers offer a variety of relatively complex programs for tire retailers that sell their products, providing cooperative advertising funds, volume discounts and other incentives. As part of our service to our customers, we assist them in managing the administration of these programs through dedicated staff. We believe these enhancements, combined with other aspects of our customer service, provide significant value to our customers.

Selectively Pursue Acquisitions. We expect to continue to employ a selective acquisition strategy to increase our share in the markets we currently service as well as to expand our distribution into new markets, utilizing our scale in an effort to realize significant synergies. Over the past six years we have successfully acquired and integrated nine businesses representing, in the aggregate, over $850 million in annual revenue through 2013, and on a pro forma basis, including our recently completed acquisitions of Hercules and Terry’s Tire Town Holdings, Inc. (“Terry’s Tire”), the 2013 annual revenue of businesses acquired is over $2 billion in the aggregate. We believe our position as the largest distributor of replacement tires in North America, combined with our access to capital and our scalable platform, has allowed us to make acquisitions at very attractive post-synergy valuations.

Leverage Our Infrastructure in Existing Markets. Through infrastructure expansions over the past several years in the United States, we have developed a scalable platform with available incremental distribution capacity. Our distribution infrastructure enables us to efficiently add new customers, such as corporate accounts, and service growing channels, such as automotive dealerships, thereby increasing profitability by leveraging the utilization of our existing assets. We expect to complete the implementation of a similar platform in Canada near the beginning of 2015. We believe our relative penetration in existing markets is largely a function of the services we offer and the length of time we have operated locally. Specifically, in new geographic markets, we have experienced growth in market share over time, and in markets that we have served the longest, we generally have market share well in excess of our national average.

Utilize Technology Platform to Continue to Increase Distribution Efficiency. We intend to continue to invest in our inventory and warehouse management systems and logistics technology in order to further increase

7

our efficiency and profit margins and improve customer service. For example, we operate on our Oracle ERP platform in the United States and are in the process of implementing it in Canada. We continue to evaluate and incorporate technical solutions including utilization of handheld scanning for receiving, picking and delivery of products to our customers. We believe these increased efficiencies will continue to enhance our reputation with our customers for providing timely service, while also reducing costs. Additionally, we continue to roll out customized electronic solutions and point of sale (“POS”) system integration for our larger customers.

Maintain a Comprehensive and Deep Tire Portfolio to Meet Our Customers’ Needs. We provide a broad range of products covering a broad range of price points from entry-level imported products to faster-growing high-performance tires, through a full suite of flag, associate and proprietary brand tires. We acquired the Hercules^® brand in January 2014 and intend to further expand its market presence throughout North America. We intend to continue to focus on high-performance tires, given the growth in demand for such tires, while maintaining our emphasis on providing broad and entry level tire offerings. Our comprehensive tire portfolio is designed to satisfy all of our customers’ needs and allow us to become the supplier of choice, thereby increasing customer penetration and retention across all channels.

Recent Developments

As part of our ongoing business strategy, we intend to expand organically in existing markets as well as enter into previously underserved markets and new geographic areas. Since the second half of 2010, we opened new distribution centers in 23 locations throughout the contiguous United States. We expect to continue to evaluate additional geographic markets during the remainder of 2014 and beyond.

On June 27, 2014, we completed the following acquisitions:

• Trail Tire. We acquired the wholesale distribution business of Trail Tire Distributors Ltd. (“Trail Tire”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement by and among our subsidiary, TriCan Tire Distributors (“TriCan”), and the shareholders and principals of Trail Tire. Trail Tire is a wholesale distributor of tires, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment in Canada.

• Extreme Wheel. We acquired the wholesale distribution business of Extreme Wheel Distributors Ltd. (“Extreme Wheel”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement by and between TriCan and the shareholder and principal of Extreme Wheel. Extreme Wheel is a wholesale distributor of wheels and related accessories in Canada.

• Kirks. We acquired the wholesale distribution business of Kirks Tire Ltd. (“Kirks Tire”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement by and among TriCan and the shareholders and principals of Kirks Tire. Kirks Tire is engaged in (i) the wholesale distribution of tire, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment and (ii) the retail sale and installation of tires, tire parts, and tire accessories and the manufacturing and sale of retread tires. We did not acquire Kirks Tire’s retail operations.

• RTD Edmonton. We acquired the wholesale distribution business of Regional Tire Distributors (Edmonton) Inc. (“RTD Edmonton”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement by and among TriCan and the shareholders and principals of RTD Edmonton. RTD Edmonton is a wholesale distributor of tires, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment in Canada.

• RTD Calgary. We acquired the wholesale distribution business of Regional Tire Distributors (Calgary) Inc. (“RTD Calgary”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement by and among TriCan and the shareholders and principals of RTD Calgary. RTD Calgary is a wholesale distributor of tires, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment in Canada.

Terry’s Tire. On March 28, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Terry’s Tire pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement between us and TTT Holdings, Inc. (“TTT Holdings”), which owned all of the capital stock of Terry’s Tire. Terry’s Tire and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of purchasing, marketing, distributing and selling tires, wheels and related tire and wheel accessories on a wholesale basis to tire dealers, wholesale distributors, retail chains, automotive dealers and others, retreading tires and selling retread and other commercial tires through commercial outlets to end users and selling tires directly to consumers via the Internet. Terry’s Tire operated ten distribution centers spanning from Virginia to Maine and in Ohio. We believe the acquisition of Terry’s Tire will enhance our market position in these areas and aligns very well with our distribution centers, especially our new distribution centers that we opened over the past two years in the Northeast and Ohio.

Hercules. On January 31, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Hercules Tire Holdings LLC (“Hercules Holdings”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 24, 2014. Hercules Holdings owns all of the capital stock of Hercules. Hercules is engaged in the business of purchasing, marketing, distributing and selling replacement tires for passenger cars, trucks and certain off-road vehicles to tire dealers, wholesale distributors, retail distributors and others in the United States, Canada and internationally. Hercules operated 15 distribution centers in the United States, six distribution centers in Canada and one warehouse in northern China. Hercules also markets the Hercules^® brand, which is one of the most sought-after proprietary tire brands in the industry. We believe the acquisition of Hercules will strengthen our presence in major markets such as California, Texas and Florida in addition to increasing our presence in Canada. Additionally, Hercules’ strong logistics and sourcing capabilities, including a long-standing presence in China, will also allow us to capitalize on the growing import market, as well as provide the ability to expand the international sales of the Hercules^® brand. Finally, this acquisition will allow us to be a brand marketer of the Hercules^® brand, which in 2013 had a 2% market share of the passenger and light truck market in North America and a 3% market share of highway truck tires in North America.

RTD. On April 30, 2013, we completed the acquisition of Regional Tire Holdings, Inc. (“RTD Holdco”) pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated as of March 22, 2013, among TriCan, American Tire Distributors, Inc. (“ATDI”), RTD Holdco and Regional Tire Distributors Inc., a 100% owned subsidiary of RTD Holdco (“RTD”). RTD is a wholesale distributor of tires, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment in the Ontario and Atlantic provinces of Canada.

Credit Agreement Amendment. In addition, on June 16, 2014, we amended our credit agreement relating to our senior secured term loan facility to borrow an additional $420 million on the same terms as our Initial Term Loan (as defined below). The proceeds from these additional borrowings were used to redeem all amounts outstanding under our Senior Secured Notes (as defined below) and pay related fees and expenses, as well as for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of potential future acquisitions.

Proposed Additional Term Loan. In connection with this offering, ATDI also intends to borrow an additional $         million on the same terms as ATDI’s existing Term Loan (as defined below) (the “Additional Term Loan”). We intend to use the net proceeds therefrom, along with the net proceeds of this offering, to repay all amounts outstanding under ATDI’s 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018.

Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Any of the factors set forth under “Risk Factors” may limit our ability to successfully execute our business strategy. You should carefully consider all

9

of the information set forth in this prospectus and, in particular, should evaluate the specific factors set forth under “Risk Factors” in deciding whether to invest in our common stock. Among these important risks are the following:

• Demand for tire products is lower when general economic conditions are weak and decreases in the availability of consumer credit or consumer spending could adversely affect our business, results of operations or cash flows.

• We depend on manufacturers to provide us with the products we sell and disruptions in these relationships or manufacturers’ operations could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

• The failure of our information technology systems could disrupt our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

• Our business requires a significant amount of cash, and fluctuations in our cash flows may adversely affect our ability to fund our business or acquisitions or satisfy our debt obligations.

• Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and limit our ability to pursue our growth strategy.

• The industry in which we operate is highly competitive and our failure to effectively compete may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

• We face risks related to integration of our recent significant acquisitions.

• We may not realize the growth opportunities and cost savings synergies that we anticipated from our recent significant acquisitions.

• Pricing volatility for raw materials acquired by our suppliers could result in increased costs and may affect our profitability.

• Attempts to expand our distribution services into new geographic markets may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

• We regularly seek to grow our business through acquisitions, and our inability to identify desirable acquisition targets or integrate such acquisitions, including our recent significant acquisitions, could have a material adverse effect on us.

• Future acquisitions could require us to issue additional debt or equity.

For additional information about the risks we face, please see the section of this prospectus captioned “Risk Factors.”

Following the completion of this offering, investment funds affiliated with TPG Global, LLC (together with its affiliates, “TPG” or the “Sponsor”) will own approximately     % of our common stock, or     % if the

10

underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of our common stock is fully exercised. As a result, we expect to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and TPG will continue to have significant influence over us and decisions made by stockholders and may have interests that differ from yours. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Common Stock and this Offering—TPG will continue to have significant influence over us after this offering, including control over decisions that require the approval of stockholders, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of matters submitted to stockholders for a vote.”

Corporate Information and Structure

On June 5, 2014, Accelerate Parent Corp. changed its name to ATD Corporation. The only material asset of ATD Corporation is the equity of Accelerate Holdings Corp., which is the holder of 100% of the equity of American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc.

The following chart shows our simplified organizational structure immediately following the consummation of this offering assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares:

The Offering

Common stock offered by us             shares

Common stock offered by the selling stockholders             shares

Common stock to be outstanding after this offering             shares (or             shares if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full)

Option to purchase additional shares The underwriters have an option for a period of 30 days to purchase up to             additional shares of our common stock from us and the selling stockholders.

Use of proceeds We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $         million, or approximately $         million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full, at an assumed initial public offering price of $         per share, the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. In connection with this offering, we also intend to borrow an additional $         million through the Additional Term Loan on the same terms as ATDI’s existing Term Loan. We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering and the Additional Term Loan to repay all amounts outstanding under ATDI’s 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018. These notes bear interest at a rate of 11.50% per annum and mature on June 1, 2018. Under the terms of the indenture relating to these notes, we may redeem the notes at a price equal to 102% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. We intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds, if any, for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including supporting our strategic growth opportunities in the future. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders. See “Use of Proceeds.”

Dividend policy Our board of directors does not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock. However, we expect to reevaluate our dividend policy on a regular basis following the offering and may, subject to compliance with the covenants contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness and other considerations, determine to pay dividends in the future. The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of our common stock will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors, which may take into account general and economic conditions, our financial condition and results of operations, our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions, the implications of the payment of dividends by us to our stockholders or by our subsidiaries to us, and any other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. See “Dividend Policy” and “Description of Indebtedness.”

12

Principal stockholders Upon completion of this offering, the TPG Funds will continue to beneficially own a controlling interest in us. As a result, we intend to avail ourselves of the controlled company exemption under the rules of the NYSE. See “Risk Factors” and “Management.”

Risk factors You should read the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus for a discussion of factors to consider carefully before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock.

Proposed NYSE symbol “ATD”

Conflicts of Interest Affiliates of TPG Capital BD, LLC, an underwriter of this offering, own in excess of 10% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Therefore, a “conflict of interest” is deemed to exist under Rule 5121(f)(5)(B) of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). In addition, because the TPG Funds (as defined below) are affiliates of TPG Capital BD, LLC and, as selling stockholders, will receive more than 5% of the net proceeds of this offering, a “conflict of interest” is also deemed to exist under FINRA Rule 5121(f)(5)(C)(ii) . Accordingly, this offering will be made in compliance with the applicable provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121(c), no sales of the shares will be made to any discretionary account over which TPG Capital BD, LLC exercises discretion without the prior specific written approval of the account holder. However, no “qualified independent underwriter” is required because the underwriters primarily responsible for managing this offering are free of any “conflict of interest,” as that term is defined in the rule. See “Use of Proceeds” and “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest).”

The number of shares of common stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on             shares of common stock outstanding as of                     , 2014 (after giving effect to the one-for-                 reverse stock split effected on                     , 2014) and excludes the following:

•             shares reserved for future issuance in connection with the exercise of outstanding stock options at a weighted-average exercise price of $         per share; and

•             shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans.

Unless otherwise indicated, this prospectus reflects and assumes the following:

• the adoption of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, to be effective upon the closing of this offering;

• no exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase up to             additional shares of our common stock in this offering; and

• a one-for-             reverse stock split of our common stock that became effective on                     , 2014.

Summary Consolidated Financial and Other Data

The following table sets forth summary historical consolidated financial and other data for the periods indicated. The summary historical financial and other data as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 and for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The summary historical balance sheet data as of December 31, 2011 have been derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of such date, which are not included in this prospectus. The summary historical financial and other data as of July 5, 2014 and for the six months of 2014 and 2013 have been derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The summary historical balance sheet data as of June 29, 2013 have been derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements for such quarter, which are not included in this prospectus. Historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods, and operating results for the six months of 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 3, 2015. The pro forma data for fiscal year 2013 and the six months of 2014 have been derived from our unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Our fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Therefore, the financial results of 53-week fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarter, will not be comparable to 52-week fiscal years, and the associated quarters having only 13 weeks. The 2011 fiscal year, which ended December 31, 2011, the 2012 fiscal year, which ended December 29, 2012, and the 2013 fiscal year, which ended December 28, 2013, each contain operating results for 52 weeks. The six months ended July 5, 2014 contains operating results for 27 weeks while the six months ended June 29, 2013 contains operating results for 26 weeks. It should be noted that the Company’s recently acquired subsidiaries, Hercules, Terry’s Tire, Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary have different quarter-end reporting dates than that of the Company for the second quarter of 2014, with their quarters ending on June 30. Prior to the acquisitions, Hercules had an October 31 fiscal year end, Terry’s Tire had a December 31 fiscal year end, RTD and Kirks Tire had a January 31 fiscal year end and Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary each had a February 28 fiscal year end, but each such subsidiary changed its year end to be the same as that of the Company, effective as of their respective acquisition dates. It should also be noted that, prior to fiscal 2013, our year-end reporting date was different from that of our TriCan subsidiary. For fiscal 2012, TriCan had a calendar year-end reporting date. TriCan converted to our fiscal year-end reporting date during fiscal 2013. The impact from these differences on the consolidated financial statements was not material. This summary historical consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with the disclosures set forth under “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information,” “Capitalization,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Due to our prior acquisitions and future acquisitions we may engage in, our historical operating results may be of limited use in evaluating our historical performance and predicting future results. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Business and Industry—Because of our prior acquisitions and future acquisitions we may engage in, our historical operating results may be of limited use in evaluating our historical performance and predicting our future results.”

(1) Reflects the acquisition of Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary in June 2014, the acquisition of Terry’s Tire in March 2014 and the acquisition of Hercules and Kipling Tire Co. LTD in January 2014.

(2) Reflects the acquisition of RTD in April 2013.

(3) Reflects the acquisition of Wholesale Tire Distributors Inc. in December 2013, the acquisition of Tire Distributors, Inc. (“TDI”) in August 2013 and the acquisition of RTD in April 2013.

(4) Reflects the acquisition of Triwest Trading (Canada) Ltd. d/b/a TriCan Tire Distributors in November 2012 and the acquisition of Firestone of Denham Springs, Inc. d/b/a Consolidated Tire & Oil in May 2012.

(5) Reflects the acquisition of Bowlus Service Company d/b/a North Central Tire in April 2011.

(6) As described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Indebtedness—Senior Secured Term Loan—Proposed Additional Term Loan,” in connection with this offering, we also intend to borrow an additional $             million through the Additional Term Loan on the same terms as ATDI’s existing Term Loan and to use the net proceeds therefrom, along with the net proceeds of this offering, to repay all amounts outstanding under our 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018. Based on the interest rate under ATDI’s existing Term Loan of 5.75% as of July 5, 2014, as applied to the Additional Term Loan and existing Term Loan as if they were outstanding for the entire periods presented, and assuming immediately prior to the periods presented the early redemption of all amounts outstanding under ATDI’s 9.75% Senior Secured Notes, which occurred on June 16, 2014, as well as the repayment of all amounts outstanding under our 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018, in each case at the redemption price set forth in their respective indentures, we estimate that our net interest expense would have decreased by approximately $             million for the year ended December 28, 2013 and by approximately $             million for the six months ended July 5, 2014, in each case before taxes. There can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate the Additional Term Loan on the terms described in this prospectus or at all.

(7) Other, net primarily includes bank fees, credit card charges to us and gains and losses on foreign currency, net of financing service fees that we charge our customers.

(8) Does not reflect the one-for         reverse stock split effected on                  , 2014.

(9) EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to reflect the items set forth in the table below. The presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with our GAAP results and the following reconciliation, we believe provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone. We also believe that such measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies similar to ours. Our board of directors, management and investors use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Our board of directors also uses Adjusted EBITDA in determining compensation for our management. The adjustments from EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA include management and advisory fees paid to our Sponsor, non-cash stock compensation expense, transaction expenses related to our acquisitions, non-cash amortization of inventory step-up resulting from the business combination rules for our acquisitions and other items, including franchise and other taxes, non-cash gains and losses on the disposal of fixed assets and assets held for sale, exchange gains and losses on foreign currency, and non-cash impairment of long-lived assets. Amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers because not all issuers calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments set forth below. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations, determined in accordance with GAAP:

(A) Other includes non-income based taxes, impairment, gain/loss on property and equipment disposals, deferred compensation and foreign currency exchange gains/losses.

(10) Working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities.

(11) Total debt is the sum of current maturities of long-term debt, non-current portion of long-term debt and capital lease obligations.

(12) Pro forma EBITDA and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. We present pro forma EBITDA and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to provide a more complete understanding of our results of operations that gives effect to the recent significant acquisitions that we have completed. These amounts have similar limitations to the limitations described in footnote (9) regarding EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, the pro forma financial information we present is based on estimates and assumptions regarding our recent acquisitions that may end up being materially different from our actual experience. Neither pro forma EBITDA nor pro forma Adjusted EBITDA should be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP or pro forma net income (loss). Moreover, our debt agreements use a measure similar to pro forma Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain covenants except that, under certain of these debt agreements, the calculation of the measure allows us (subject to certain limitations) to take into account the amount of cost savings and synergies projected in good faith to be realized in the future in connection with cost saving restructuring initiatives as though those cost savings had already been realized in past periods. We have not included such projected cost savings or synergies in our presentation of pro forma Adjusted EBITDA in this prospectus. Therefore, the amount calculated pursuant to our debt agreements may be higher than pro forma Adjusted EBITDA as set forth in this prospectus. For further discussion of our cost savings initiatives, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

RISK FACTORS

This offering and investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing at the end of this prospectus, before deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could suffer materially, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to our Business and Industry

Demand for tire products is lower when general economic conditions are weak and decreases in the availability of consumer credit or consumer spending could adversely affect our business, results of operations or cash flows.

The popularity, supply and demand for tire products changes from year to year based on consumer confidence, the volume of tires reaching the replacement tire market and the level of personal discretionary income, among other factors. Decreases in the availability of consumer credit or decreases in consumer spending as a result of recent economic conditions, including increased unemployment and rising fuel prices, may cause consumers to delay tire purchases, reduce spending on tires or purchase less expensive tires. These changes in consumer behavior could reduce the number of tires we sell, reduce our net sales or cause a change in our product mix toward products with lower per-tire margins, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or cash flows.

Local economic, employment, weather, transportation and other conditions also affect tire sales, on both a wholesale and retail basis. We cannot, as a result of these factors and others, assure you that our business will continue to generate sufficient cash flows to finance or grow our business or that our cash needs will not increase. Historically, we have experienced that rising fuel costs, higher unemployment and credit tightening cause a decrease in miles driven and consumer spending, both of which we believe cause a decrease in unit sales in the U.S. and Canadian replacement tire industries. Our business is adversely affected as a result of such industry-wide events and we may be adversely affected by similar events in the future.

We depend on manufacturers to provide us with the products we sell and disruptions in these relationships or manufacturers’ operations could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

There are a limited number of tire manufacturers worldwide. Accordingly, we rely on a limited number of tire manufacturers to supply us with the products we sell, including flag and associate brands and our proprietary brands. Our business depends on developing and maintaining productive relationships with these manufacturers. Outside of our proprietary brands, we do not have long-term contracts with these manufacturers, and we cannot assure you that these manufacturers will continue to supply products to us on favorable terms or at all. Many of our manufacturers are free to terminate their business relationship with us with little or no notice and may elect to do so for any reason or no reason. We believe that part of our value proposition is our ability to distribute the broadest product offering in our industry. As a result, if one or more of our manufacturers were to discontinue business with us, our business could be adversely affected by the negative impact on our reputation and ability to continue to deliver on this value proposition, as well as any decrease in net sales. Further, certain of our key suppliers also compete with us as they distribute and sell tires to certain of our tire retailer customers. A move towards this business model among our manufacturers could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In addition, our growth strategy depends in part on our ability to make selective acquisitions, but manufacturers may not be willing to supply the companies we acquire, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Furthermore, we could be adversely affected if any significant manufacturer experiences financial, operational, production, supply, labor, regulatory or quality assurance difficulties that result in a reduction or interruption in our supply, or if they otherwise fail to meet our needs. These risks have

19

been more pronounced recently in light of commodity price volatility and governmental actions. In addition, our failure to order or promptly pay for sufficient quantities of our products may result in an increase in the unit cost of the products we purchase, a reduction in cooperative advertising and marketing funds, or a manufacturer’s unwillingness or refusal to sell products to us. If we are required to replace one or more of our manufacturers, we could experience cost increases, time delays in deliveries and a loss of customers, any of which would adversely affect us. Finally, although most newly manufactured tires are sold in the replacement tire market, manufacturers pay disproportionate attention to automobile manufacturers that purchase tires for new cars. Increased demand from automobile manufacturers could result in cost increases and time delays in deliveries to us, either of which could adversely affect us.

The failure of our information technology systems could disrupt our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The operation of our business depends on our information technology systems. The failure of our information technology systems, including our Oracle ERP platform, to perform as we anticipate could disrupt our business substantially and could result in, among other things, transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, loss of data and the loss of sales and customers, all of which could cause our business and results of operations to suffer. While we have made significant investments in our disaster recovery strategies and infrastructure, our information technology systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from circumstances beyond our control, including, without limitation, fire, natural disasters, power outages, systems failure, system conversions, security breaches, cyber-attacks, viruses and/or human error. In any such event, we could be required to make a significant investment to fix or replace information technology systems, and we could experience interruptions in our ability to service our customers. Additionally, we and our customers could suffer financial and reputational harm if customer or Company proprietary information was compromised by a security breach or cyber-attack. Any such damage or interruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business requires a significant amount of cash, and fluctuations in our cash flows may adversely affect our ability to fund our business or acquisitions or satisfy our debt obligations.

Our ability to fund working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and acquisitions and our ability to satisfy our debt obligations depend on our ability to generate cash flows, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet these needs, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt, obtain additional financing or reduce expenditures that we deem necessary to our business. Further, our ability to grow our business and market share through acquisitions may be impaired. We cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain refinancing of this kind on favorable terms or at all or that any additional financing could be obtained. The inability to obtain additional financing could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and cash flows.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. Our ability to restructure or refinance our debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. In addition, any failure to make payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness on a timely basis would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. Our credit facilities and the indenture governing our outstanding notes restrict our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from any such disposition. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain the proceeds that we could realize from them and these proceeds may not be adequate to

20

meet any debt service obligations then due. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our debt service obligations.

As of July 5, 2014, on a pro forma as adjusted basis after giving effect to this offering and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, we would have had total indebtedness of approximately $         , and our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and limit our ability to pursue our growth strategy.

We have a substantial amount of debt, which requires significant interest and principal payments. As of July 5, 2014, on a pro forma as adjusted basis after giving effect to this offering and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, at an assumed public offering price per share of $        , the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover of the prospectus, we would have had total indebtedness of approximately $         . Subject to the restrictions contained in our ABL Facility, our Term Loan, the indenture governing our Senior Subordinated Notes (to the extent they remain outstanding following this offering), and our other debt instruments, we may be able to incur substantial additional debt from time to time to finance working capital, capital expenditures, investments or acquisitions, or for other purposes. These restrictions will not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness, may be waived by certain votes of debt holders and, if we refinance our existing indebtedness, such refinancing indebtedness may contain fewer restrictions on our activities. To the extent new indebtedness or other financial obligations are added to our and our subsidiaries’ currently anticipated indebtedness levels, the related risks that we and our subsidiaries face could intensify.

Our substantial level of indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and increase the possibility that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay, when due, the principal of, interest on or other amounts due in respect of our indebtedness. Our substantial indebtedness, combined with our other existing and any future financial obligations and contractual commitments, could have important consequences. For example, it could:

• make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness, and any failure to comply with the obligations under any of our debt instruments, including restrictive covenants, could result in an event of default under the agreements governing such indebtedness;

• require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, selling and marketing efforts, research and development and other purposes;

• increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have proportionately less indebtedness;

• increase our cost of borrowing and cause us to incur substantial fees from time to time in connection with debt amendments or refinancings;

• increase our exposure to rising interest rates because a portion of our borrowings is at variable interest rates;

• limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we operate; and

• limit our ability to borrow additional funds, or to dispose of assets to raise funds, if needed, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, selling and marketing efforts, research and development and other corporate purposes.

For additional risks relating to our substantial indebtedness, see “—Restrictions imposed by our outstanding indebtedness, including the indenture governing our outstanding notes, may limit our ability to operate our business and to finance our future operation or capital needs or to engage in other business activities.”

21

The industry in which we operate is highly competitive and our failure to effectively compete may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The industry in which we operate is highly competitive. In North America, replacement tires are sold to consumers through several different retail channels, including local independent tire retailers and mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, tire manufacturer-owned stores, automotive dealerships and web-based marketers. A number of independent wholesale tire distributors compete with us for the business of tire retailers in the regions in which we do business. Most of our tire retailer customers buy products from both us and our competitors. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully in our markets in the future. We would also be adversely affected if certain channels in the replacement tire retail market, including mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs, were to gain market share at the expense of the local independent tire retailers, as our market share in those channels is lower. See “Business—Competition.”

We face risks related to the integration of our recent significant acquisitions.

The acquisitions of Hercules and Terry’s Tire constitute significant acquisitions for our business. Our management will be required to devote a significant amount of time and attention to the process of integrating the businesses and operations of Hercules and Terry’s Tire with our business and operations, which may decrease the time management will have to serve existing customers, attract new customers and develop new products, services or strategies, and could adversely affect the performance of the combined company. The size and complexity of both acquired businesses, if not managed successfully by our management, may result in interruptions in our business activities, inconsistencies in our operations, standards, controls, procedures and policies, a decrease in the quality of our services and products, a deterioration in our employee and customer relationships, increased costs of integration and harm to our reputation, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not realize the growth opportunities and cost savings synergies that are anticipated from our recent significant acquisitions.

The benefits that we expect to achieve as a result of the recent acquisitions of Hercules and Terry’s Tire will depend in part on our ability to realize anticipated growth opportunities and cost savings synergies. Our success in realizing these opportunities and synergies and the timing of this realization depend on the successful integration of the businesses and operations of Hercules and Terry’s Tire with our business and operations and the adoption of our respective best practices. Even if we are able to integrate these businesses and operations successfully, this integration may not result in the realization of the full benefits of the growth opportunities and synergies we currently expect from this integration within the anticipated time frame or at all. While we anticipate that substantial expenses will be incurred in connection with the integration of Hercules and Terry’s Tire, such expenses are difficult to estimate accurately, and may significantly exceed current estimates. Accordingly, the benefits from these acquisitions may be offset by unanticipated costs or delays in integrating the companies.

Pricing volatility for raw materials acquired by our suppliers could result in increased costs and may affect our profitability.

Costs for certain raw materials used in manufacturing the products we sell, including natural rubber, chemicals, steel reinforcements, carbon black, synthetic rubber and other petroleum-based products, are volatile. Increasing costs for raw materials supplies would result in increased production costs for tire manufacturers. Tire manufacturers typically pass along a portion of their increased costs to us through price increases. While we typically try to pass increased prices and fuel costs through to tire retailers or modify our activities to mitigate the impact of higher prices, we may not be successful. Failure to fully pass these increased prices and costs through to tire retailers or to modify our activities to mitigate the impact would adversely affect our operating margins and results of operations. Further, even if we do successfully pass along these costs, demand for tires may decline as a result of the increased costs, which would adversely affect us.

22

Attempts to expand our distribution services into new geographic markets may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

We plan to expand our distribution services into new geographic markets in North America, which will require us to make capital investments to extend and develop our distribution infrastructure. We may not achieve profitability in new regions for a period of time. If we do not successfully add new distribution centers and routes, we experience unanticipated costs or delays or we experience competition in such markets that is greater than we expect, our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows may be adversely affected.

We regularly seek to grow our business through acquisitions, and our inability to identify desirable acquisition targets or integrate such acquisitions, including our recent significant acquisitions, could have a material adverse effect on us.

We regularly investigate and acquire strategic businesses or product lines with the potential to be accretive to earnings, increase our market penetration, strengthen our market position or enhance our existing product offering. In executing our business strategy, we routinely conduct discussions, evaluate opportunities and enter into agreements for such acquisitions. Pursuing growth by way of these types of transactions involves significant challenges and risks, including the inability to successfully identify suitable acquisition targets on terms acceptable to us, advance our business strategy, realize a satisfactory return on investment, successfully integrate business activities or resources, or retain key personnel, customers and suppliers. A failure to identify and acquire desirable acquisition targets may slow growth in our annual unit volume, which could adversely affect our existing business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, if we are unable to manage acquisitions or investments, successfully complete transactions or effectively integrate acquired businesses, such as Hercules or Terry’s Tire, we may not realize the cost savings or other financial benefits we anticipated from the transaction relative to the consideration paid in the anticipated time frame or at all, and our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Further, we may be unsuccessful in identifying and evaluating business, legal or financial risks as part of the due diligence process associated with a particular transaction, and could be held liable for environmental, tax or other risks and liabilities of the acquired business. In addition, some investments may result in the incurrence of debt or may have contingent consideration components that may require us to pay additional amounts in the future in relation to future performance results of the subject business. We may also experience additional financial and accounting challenges and complexities in areas such as tax planning, treasury, management and financial reporting as a result of such transactions. These factors could divert attention from our business and otherwise harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

Future acquisitions could require us to issue additional debt or equity.

A number of our recent acquisitions have been financed primarily through the incurrence of additional debt, either through increases in availability under our ABL Facility, the issuance of additional subordinated notes or through term loans. We have also financed some recent acquisitions by selling additional equity to the TPG Funds and certain co-investors. If we were to undertake another substantial acquisition, the acquisition would likely need to be financed in part through further amendments to our ABL Facility, additional financing from banks, public offerings or private placements of debt or equity securities or other arrangements. We cannot assure you that the necessary acquisition financing would be available to us on acceptable terms if and when required, particularly because we are currently highly leveraged, which may make it difficult or impossible for us to secure financing for acquisitions. If we were to undertake an acquisition by issuing equity securities or equity-linked securities, the acquisition may have a dilutive effect on the interests of the holders of our common stock. If we were to undertake an acquisition by incurring additional debt, the risks associated with our already substantial level of indebtedness could intensify.

23

Our business strategy relies increasingly upon online commerce. If our customers were unable to access any of our websites, such as ATDOnline^®, our business and operations could be disrupted and our operating results would be adversely affected.

Customers’ access to our websites directly affects the volume of orders we fulfill and our revenues in the United States. Approximately 65% of our U.S. total order volume in fiscal 2013 was placed online using ATDOnline^®, up from approximately 56% in fiscal 2007. We expect our Internet-generated business in the United States to continue to grow as a percentage of overall sales. To be successful, we must ensure that ATDOnline^® is well supported and functional on a 24/7 basis. If we are not able to continuously make these ordering tools available to our customers, there could be a decline in online orders and a decrease in our net sales.

We may not successfully execute our plan to grow our TireBuyer.com^® service or we may not attain the growth we expect from our TireBuyer.com^® service.

We continue to invest in TireBuyer.com^®, an Internet site which enables our independent tire retailer customers to connect with consumers over the Internet. In 2012, the TireBuyer.com^® site was re-launched on a platform that is faster and more flexible in allowing us to respond to the needs of our customers and enhancing the overall consumer experience. Since its initial launch in 2009, we have generally seen a consistent increase in consumer traffic on the site. We expect that by growing and developing our TireBuyer.com^® service, we can leverage our tire retailer customer footprint to capture a greater share of the Internet tire market. For TireBuyer.com^® to be successful, however, we must ensure that it is well supported and functional on a 24/7 basis. In addition, TireBuyer.com^® faces significant competition from other online participants, some of which have significantly larger Internet market share, longer Internet market presence, greater Internet marketing experience and better name recognition than we enjoy. We may fail to successfully grow, develop or support the TireBuyer.com^® service or we may not attain the growth or benefits we expect TireBuyer.com^® to provide us due to strong competition or other factors, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Because the majority of our inventory is stored in our warehouse distribution centers, a disruption in our warehouse distribution centers could adversely affect our results of operations by increasing our cost and distribution lead times.

We maintain the majority of our inventory in our more than 140 distribution centers in North America. Serious disruptions affecting these distribution centers or the flow of products in or out of these centers, including disruptions from inclement weather, fire, earthquakes or other causes, could damage a significant portion of our inventory and could adversely affect our ability to distribute our products to tire retailers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost. During the time that it may take us to reopen or replace a distribution center, we could incur significantly higher costs and longer lead times associated with distributing our products to tire retailers, which could adversely affect our reputation, as well as our results of operations and our customer relationships.

If we experience problems with our fleet of trucks or are otherwise unable to make timely deliveries of our products to our customers, our business and reputation could be adversely affected.

We use a fleet of trucks to deliver our products to our customers, most of which are leased from third parties. We are subject to the risks associated with product delivery, including inclement weather, disruptions in the transportation infrastructure, disruptions in our lease arrangements, availability and price of fuel, liabilities arising from accidents to the extent we are not covered by insurance and insurance premium increases. Our failure to deliver tires and other products in a timely and accurate manner could harm our reputation and brand, which could adversely affect our business and reputation.

24

Our Hercules^® brand tires are generally manufactured in various countries in Asia and as a result are subject to risks associated with doing business outside the United States and Canada.

Following our acquisition of Hercules, we distribute a private brand tire marketed under the Hercules^® brand. These tires are generally manufactured in various countries in Asia. There are a number of risks in doing business abroad, including political and economic uncertainty, social unrest, sudden changes in laws and regulations, shortages of trained labor, transportation risks and the uncertainties associated with doing business in foreign countries. These risks may impact our ability to expand our outsourced manufacturing operations and otherwise achieve our objectives relating to private brand marketing, including capitalizing on the expanding import market. In addition, compliance with multiple and potentially conflicting foreign laws and regulations, import and export limitations, anti-corruption laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and exchange controls is burdensome and expensive. Our foreign operations also subject us to the risks of international terrorism and hostilities and to foreign currency risks, including exchange rate fluctuations and limits on the repatriation of funds.

Our exposure to the credit risks of our customers may make it difficult to collect accounts receivable and could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

In the course of our sales to customers, we may encounter difficulty collecting accounts receivable and could be exposed to risks associated with uncollectible accounts receivable. Economic conditions may impact some of our customers’ ability to pay their accounts payable. While we attempt to monitor these situations carefully and attempt to take appropriate measures to collect accounts receivable balances, we have written down accounts receivable and written off doubtful accounts in prior periods and may be unable to avoid accounts receivable write-downs or write-offs of doubtful accounts in the future. Such write-downs or write-offs could negatively affect our operating results for the period in which they occur and could harm our operating results.

Consolidation among customers may reduce our importance as a holder of sizable inventory, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our success has been dependent, in part, on the fragmented customer base in our industry. Due to the small size of most tire retailers, they cannot support substantial inventory positions and thus, as our size permits us to maintain a sizable inventory, we fill an important role. However, we do not generally have long-term arrangements with our tire retailer customers and they can cease doing business with us at any time. If a trend towards consolidation among tire retailers develops in the future, it could reduce our importance and reduce our revenues, margins and earnings. While the local independent tire retailer share of the replacement tire market has been relatively stable in the recent past, the share of larger tire retailers has grown at the expense of smaller tire retailers. If that trend continues, the number of tire retailers able to handle sizable inventory could increase, reducing the importance of distributors like us to the local independent tire retailer market.

Participants in our Tire Pros^® franchise program are independent operators and we have limited influence over their operations. Our Tire Pros^® franchisees could take actions that could harm the value of the Tire Pros^® franchise, or could be unwilling or unable to continue to participate in the program, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Participants in our Tire Pros^® franchise program are independent operators and have significant discretion in running their operations. Their employees are not our employees. Franchisees could take actions that subject them to legal and financial liabilities, and we may, regardless of the actual validity of such a claim, be named as a party in an action relating to, or be held liable for, the conduct of our franchisees if it is shown that we exercise a sufficient level of control over a particular franchisee’s operation. In addition, the quality of franchise operations may be diminished by any number of factors beyond our control. We do not offer financial or management services to our franchisees, which may not have sufficient resources or expertise to operate their businesses at the level we would expect. While we ultimately can take action to terminate franchisees that do not comply with the standards contained in our franchise agreements, we may not be able to identify problems and take action quickly enough and, as a result, the image and reputation of Tire Pros^® may suffer, fewer tire retailers may become Tire Pros^® franchisees and existing participants may leave the Tire Pros^® program.

25

In addition, our franchise agreements have limited durations and our franchisees may not be willing or able to renew their franchise agreements with us. For example, a franchisee may decide not to renew due to a lawsuit or disagreement with us, dissatisfaction with the Tire Pros^® program or a perception that the Tire Pros^® program conflicts with other business interests. Similarly, a franchisee may be unable to renew its franchise agreement with us due to a bankruptcy or restructuring event or the failure to secure a real estate lease renewal, among other factors.

Our business, business prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected if we are forced to defend claims made against our franchisees, if others seek to hold us accountable for our franchisees’ actions, if the Tire Pros^® program does not grow as we expect or if the Tire Pros^® franchise program is not otherwise successful.

We could become subject to additional government regulation which could cause us to incur significant liabilities.

We are currently subject to federal, state and foreign laws and regulations that apply to our business, including laws and regulations that affect tire distribution and sale, safety matters and tire specifications. Our costs of complying with these laws and regulations, including our operating expenses and liabilities arising under governmental regulations, may be increased in the future, including due to expansion of our business into new geographic areas, and additional fees and taxes may be imposed by governmental authorities. Future regulatory requirements, such as required disclosure of made-on dates for tires or an expansion of the Transportation Recall Enhancement Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act to cover tire distributors, could cause a material increase in our liabilities or operating expenses, which would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Loss of key personnel or failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We are dependent on the continued services of our senior management team. We may not be able to retain our existing senior management, fill new positions or vacancies created by expansion or turnover, or attract additional senior management personnel. We believe the loss of such key personnel could adversely affect our financial performance. In addition, our ability to manage our anticipated growth will depend on our ability to identify, hire and retain qualified management personnel. We cannot assure you that we will attract and retain sufficient qualified personnel to meet our business needs.

We could be subject to product liability, personal injury or other litigation claims that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Purchasers of our products, or their employees or customers, could be injured or suffer property damage from exposure to, or defects in, products we sell or distribute, or have sold or distributed in the past. We could be subject to claims, including personal injury claims. These claims may not be covered by insurance or tire manufacturers may be unwilling or unable to assume the defense of these claims, as they have in the past. In addition, if any tire manufacturer encounters financial difficulty or ceases to operate, it may not be able to assume the defense of such claims. In addition, we now own the Hercules^® tire brand and therefore could be liable for these claims in the future in connection with the manufacture and sale of the Hercules^® brand tires. We also may be subject to claims due to injuries caused by our truck drivers which may not be covered by insurance. As a result, the defense, settlement or successful assertion of any future product liability, personal injury or other litigation claims could cause us to incur significant costs and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We could incur costs to comply with environmental regulations and to address liabilities relating to environmental matters, particularly those relating to our distribution centers.

We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. These requirements are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over

26

time. Compliance costs associated with current and future environmental and health and safety laws, particularly as they relate to our distribution centers, as well as liabilities, including fines, claims or clean-up costs, arising from past or future releases of, or exposure to, hazardous substances, may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), we provide a report by management on internal control over financial reporting, including management’s assessment of the effectiveness of such control. Changes to our business and the integration of newly-acquired businesses will necessitate ongoing changes to our internal control systems and processes, including to address any internal control issues of the businesses that we acquire from time to time. For example, the Terry’s Tire auditors identified material weaknesses, which were in existence at the time we acquired the business, relating to security administration and access to systems, separation of duties, and external financial reporting. We are in the process of integrating the Terry’s Tire business, including placing them on our information technology and accounting systems, as well as implementing our own internal controls and procedures with respect to the Terry’s Tire business. While we do not expect the issues identified by the Terry’s Tire auditors to continue following the completion of the integration, which we anticipate will be complete by the end of 2014, we face risks like this in the ordinary course of business.

Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. If we fail to maintain adequate internal controls, including any required new or improved controls, we may be unable to provide financial information in a timely and reliable manner and might be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities such as the SEC or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Any such action could adversely affect our financial results or investors’ confidence in us or in the integrity of our financial statements and public filings and could cause the price of our securities to fall.

If we determine that our goodwill and other intangible assets have become impaired, we may record significant impairment charges, which would adversely affect our results of operations.

Goodwill and other intangible assets represent a significant portion of our assets. Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair market value of net assets acquired in business combinations. In the future, goodwill and intangible assets may increase as a result of future acquisitions. We review our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets at least annually for impairment. Impairment may result from, among other things, deterioration in the performance of acquired businesses, adverse market conditions and adverse changes in applicable laws or regulations, including changes that restrict the activities of an acquired business. Any impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets would result in a non-cash charge against earnings, which would adversely affect our results of operations.

Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our indebtedness service obligations to increase significantly.

Borrowings under our ABL Facility, FILO Facility and Term Loan are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, would correspondingly decrease.

27

Currency exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our financial results.

The financial position and results of operations for TriCan, our 100% owned subsidiary acquired during 2012, was initially recorded in its functional currency which is the Canadian dollar. Because our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, we must translate revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars at the weighted-average exchange rate prevailing during the year and assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rate. Therefore, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Canadian dollar will have an impact on the value of these items in our consolidated financial statements, even if its value has not changed in its original currency.

Restrictions imposed by our outstanding indebtedness, including the indenture governing our outstanding notes, may limit our ability to operate our business and to finance our future operations or capital needs or to engage in other business activities.

The terms of our outstanding indebtedness restrict us from engaging in specified types of transactions. These covenants restrict our ability, among other things, to:

• incur indebtedness or guarantees or engage in sale-leaseback transactions;

• incur liens;

• engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales;

• alter the business conducted by ATDI and its restricted subsidiaries;

• make investments and loans;

• declare dividends or other distributions;

• enter into agreements limiting restricted subsidiary distributions; and

• engage in certain transactions with affiliates.

In addition, the credit agreement for our ABL Facility requires us to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio test if certain conditions are triggered. Our ability to comply with this financial covenant can be affected by events beyond our control, and we may not be able to satisfy it. Additionally, the restrictions contained in the indenture governing our outstanding notes could also limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions, meet capital needs or make acquisitions or otherwise restrict our activities or business plans. See “Description of Indebtedness.” The terms of any future indebtedness we incur could include more restrictive covenants.

A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under our credit facilities or the indenture governing our outstanding notes, which could trigger acceleration of our indebtedness and may result in the acceleration of or default under any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial results. In the event of any default under our credit facilities, the applicable lenders could elect to terminate borrowing commitments and declare all borrowings and loans outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and any fees and other obligations, to be due and payable. In addition, or in the alternative, the applicable lenders could exercise their rights under the security documents entered into in connection with our credit facilities. We have pledged a significant portion of our assets as collateral under our credit facilities.

If we were unable to repay or otherwise refinance these borrowings and loans when due, the applicable lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness, which could force us into

28

bankruptcy or liquidation. In the event the applicable lenders accelerate the repayment of our borrowings, we and our subsidiaries may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness. Any acceleration of amounts due under the agreements governing our credit facilities or the exercise by the applicable lenders of their rights under the security documents would likely have a material adverse effect on us.

Because of our prior acquisitions and future acquisitions we may engage in, our historical operating results may be of limited use in evaluating our historical performance and predicting our future results.

We have acquired a number of businesses in recent years, including TriCan, RTD, Hercules, Terry’s Tire, Trail Tire, Extreme Wheels, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary, and we expect that we will engage in acquisitions of other businesses from time to time in the future. The operating results of the acquired businesses are included in our financial statements included in this prospectus only from the date of the completion of such acquisitions. All of our acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Use of this method has resulted in a new valuation of the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies. As a result of these acquisitions and any future acquisitions, our historical operating results may be of limited use in evaluating our historical performance and predicting our future results. In addition, other significant changes may occur in our cost structure, management, financing and business operations as a result of these acquisitions and any future acquisitions.

The pro forma financial information in this prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not represent what the financial position or results of operations of the Company would have been had the applicable acquisitions and other transactions been completed on the dates assumed for purposes of that pro forma information nor does it represent the actual financial position or results of operations of the Company following such transactions.

The pro forma financial information in this prospectus is derived from the respective historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company, Terry’s Tire, Hercules, RTD, Trail Tire, Extreme Wheels, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary included in this prospectus. It is presented for illustrative purposes only and contains certain estimates and assumptions about the acquisitions and other transactions described therein. The preparation of this pro forma financial information is based on certain assumptions and estimates that we believe are reasonable. Our assumptions may prove to be inaccurate over time and may be affected by other factors. Accordingly, the pro forma financial information may not reflect what our results of operations, financial positions and cash flows would have been had the applicable transactions occurred during the periods presented or what our results of operations, financial positions and cash flows will be in the future.

In addition, for purposes of the pro forma financial information, the consideration for the relevant acquisitions has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the preliminary valuations. The final allocation is dependent upon third-party valuations and other studies that have not been completed. The final allocation could vary materially from the preliminary allocation used in the financial information contained in this prospectus. Additionally, the pro forma financial information does not give effect to any unforeseen costs that could result from the relevant acquisitions, nor does it include any other items not expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results of operations.

Risks Related to our Common Stock and this Offering

TPG will continue to have significant influence over us after this offering, including control over decisions that require the approval of stockholders, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of matters submitted to stockholders for a vote.

We are currently controlled, and after this offering is completed will continue to be controlled, by the TPG Funds. Upon completion of this offering, the TPG Funds will beneficially own     % of our outstanding common stock (or     % if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares). As long as the TPG Funds own or control at least a majority of our outstanding voting power, they will have the ability to

29

exercise substantial control over all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how our other stockholders may vote, including the election and removal of directors and the size of our board, any amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or the approval of any merger or other significant corporate transaction, including a sale of substantially all of our assets. Even if the TPG Funds’ ownership falls below 50%, TPG will continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control our decisions.

Additionally, TPG’s interests may not align with the interests of our other stockholders. TPG is in the business of making investments in companies and may acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. TPG may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business, and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us.

Upon the listing of our shares, we will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE and, as a result, will qualify for, and intend to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements; you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

Because the TPG Funds will continue to control a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock after completion of this offering, we will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the NYSE. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that, within one year of the date of the listing of our common stock:

• we have a board that is composed of a majority of “independent directors,” as defined under the rules of the NYSE;

• we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors; and

• we have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors.

Following this offering, we intend to utilize all of these exemptions. Accordingly, in the event TPG’s interests differ from those of other stockholders, and, for so long as we are a “controlled company,” you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE. Our status as a controlled company could make our common stock less attractive to some investors or otherwise harm our stock price.

Our directors who have relationships with TPG may have conflicts of interest with respect to matters involving our company.

Following this offering, two of our                     directors will be affiliated with TPG. Our TPG-affiliated directors have fiduciary duties to us and, in addition, will have duties to TPG. Two additional directors will be Senior Advisors to TPG. As a result, these directors may face real or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to matters affecting both us and TPG, whose interests, in some circumstances, may be adverse to ours.

Provisions of our corporate governance documents could make an acquisition of our company more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management, even if beneficial to our stockholders.

In addition to the TPG Funds’ beneficial ownership of a controlling percentage of our common stock, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so might be beneficial to

30

our stockholders. These provisions include:

• the division of our board of directors into three classes and the election of each class for three-year terms;

• advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations;

• the ability of the board of directors to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors;

• the ability of our board of directors to issue new series of, and designate the terms of, preferred stock, without stockholder approval, which could be used to, among other things, institute a rights plan that would have the effect of significantly diluting the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer, likely preventing acquisitions that have not been approved by our board of directors;

• limitations on the ability of stockholders to call special meetings and to take action by written consent following the date that the TPG Funds no longer beneficially own a majority of our common stock; and

• the required approval of holders of at least 75% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock to adopt, amend or repeal certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws or remove directors for cause, in each case following the date that the TPG Funds no longer beneficially own a majority of our common stock.

In addition, Section 203 of the DGCL may affect the ability of an “interested stockholder” to engage in certain business combinations, for a period of three years following the time that the stockholder becomes an “interested stockholder.” While we have elected in our certificate of incorporation not to be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation contains provisions that have the same effect as Section 203 of the DGCL, except that they provide that investment funds affiliated with TPG will not be deemed to be an “interested stockholder,” and accordingly will not be subject to such restrictions.

Because our board is responsible for appointing the members of our senior management, the foregoing provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management, or otherwise change the strategic direction of the Company, by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors. In addition, certain of these provisions may limit your ability to sell your stock for a price in excess of the prevailing market price in a transaction that is not approved by our board of directors. See “Description of Capital Stock.”

If you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of your investment.

The initial public offering price of our common stock is substantially higher than the net tangible book deficit per share of our common stock. Therefore, if you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds our net tangible book deficit per share after this offering. Based on an assumed initial public offering price of $         per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, you will experience immediate dilution of $         per share, representing the difference between our pro forma net tangible book deficit per share after giving effect to this offering and the initial public offering price. In addition, purchasers of common stock in this offering will have contributed     % of the aggregate price paid by all purchasers of our stock but will own only approximately     % of our common stock outstanding after this offering. We also have a large number of outstanding stock options to purchase common stock with exercise prices that are below the estimated initial public offering price of our common stock. To the extent that these options are exercised, you will experience further dilution. See “Dilution” for more detail.

31

Your percentage ownership in us may be diluted by future issuances of capital stock, which could reduce your influence over matters on which stockholders vote.

Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, our board of directors has the authority, without action or vote of our stockholders, to issue all or any part of our authorized but unissued shares of common stock, including shares issuable upon the exercise of options, or shares of our authorized but unissued preferred stock. Issuances of common stock or voting preferred stock would reduce your influence over matters on which our stockholders vote and, in the case of issuances of preferred stock, would likely result in your interest in us being subject to the prior rights of holders of that preferred stock.

An active, liquid trading market for our common stock may not develop, which may limit your ability to sell your shares.

Prior to this offering, there was no public market for our common stock. Although we intend to list our common stock on the NYSE under the symbol “ATD,” an active trading market for our shares may never develop or be sustained following this offering. The initial public offering price will be determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters and may not be indicative of market prices of our common stock that will prevail in the open market after the offering. A public trading market having the desirable characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers at any given time, such existence being dependent upon the individual decisions of buyers and sellers over which neither we nor any market maker has control. The failure of an active and liquid trading market to develop and continue would likely have a material adverse effect on the value of our common stock. The market price of our common stock may decline below the initial public offering price, and you may not be able to sell your shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid in this offering, or at all. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using our shares as consideration.

As a public company, we will become subject to additional laws, regulations and stock exchange listing standards, which will impose additional costs on us and may strain our resources and divert our management’s attention.

Prior to this offering, although Holdings has filed periodic and current reports with the SEC to satisfy obligations under our debt instruments, we operated our company on a private basis. After this offering, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the listing requirements of the NYSE, and other applicable securities laws and regulations. Compliance with these laws and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly. In particular, we estimate that we will incur incremental costs in connection with the requirements to obtain an attestation report on our internal controls from our independent auditors under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In connection with preparation for providing this attestation, our independent auditors may identify deficiencies or weaknesses in our controls. We also expect that being a public company and being subject to new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. We estimate that we will incur between $         million and $         million annually in expenses related to incremental insurance costs and other expenses associated with being a public company, including listing, printer, audit and XBRL fees and investor relations costs. However, the incremental costs that we incur as a result of becoming a public company could exceed our estimate. These factors may therefore strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members.

32

Our operating results and share price may be volatile, and the market price of our common stock after this offering may drop below the price you pay.

Our quarterly operating results are likely to fluctuate in the future as a publicly traded company. In addition, securities markets worldwide have experienced, and are likely to continue to experience, significant price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could subject the market price of our shares to wide price fluctuations regardless of our operating performance. We and the underwriters will negotiate to determine the initial public offering price. You may not be able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering price or at all. Our operating results and the trading price of our shares may fluctuate in response to various factors, including:

• market conditions in the broader stock market;

• actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial and operating results;

• introduction of new products or services by us or our competitors;

• issuance of new or changed securities analysts’ reports or recommendations;

• results of operations that vary from expectations of securities analysis and investors;

• guidance, if any, that we provide to the public, any changes in this guidance or our failure to meet this guidance;

• strategic actions by us or our competitors;

• announcement by us, our competitors or our vendors of significant contracts or acquisitions;

• sales, or anticipated sales, of large blocks of our stock;

• additions or departures of key personnel;

• regulatory, legal or political developments;

• public response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including our filings with the SEC;

• litigation and governmental investigations;

• changing economic conditions;

• changes in accounting principles;

• default under agreements governing our indebtedness;

• exchange rate fluctuations; and

• other events or factors, including those from natural disasters, war, actors of terrorism or responses to these events.

These and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause our operating results and the market price and demand for our shares to fluctuate substantially. While we believe that operating results for any particular quarter are not necessarily a meaningful indication of future results, fluctuations in our quarterly operating results could limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares and may otherwise negatively

33

affect the market price and liquidity of our shares. In addition, in the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any of our stockholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management from our business, which could significantly harm our profitability and reputation.

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock. After this offering, we will have outstanding             shares of common stock based on the number of shares outstanding as of                     , 2014. This includes             shares that we are selling in this offering, as well as the             shares that the selling stockholders are selling, which may be resold in the public market immediately, and assumes no exercises of outstanding options. Substantially all of the shares that are not being sold in this offering will be subject to a 180-day lock-up period provided under agreements executed in connection with this offering. These shares will, however, be able to be resold after the expiration of the lock-up agreement as described in the “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” section of this prospectus. We also intend to file a Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), to register all shares of common stock that we may issue under our equity compensation plans. In addition, the TPG Funds have certain demand registration rights that could require us in the future to file registration statements in connection with sales of our stock by them. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Registration Rights Agreement.” Such sales could be significant. Once we register these shares, they can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to the lock-up agreements described in the “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” section of this prospectus. As restrictions on resale end, the market price of our stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

Since we have no current plans to pay regular cash dividends on our common stock following this offering, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

Although we have previously declared dividends to our stockholders, we do not anticipate paying any regular cash dividends on our common stock following this offering. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is, and may be, limited by covenants of existing and any future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur. Therefore, any return on investment in our common stock is solely dependent upon the appreciation of the price of our common stock on the open market, which may not occur. See “Dividend Policy” for more detail.

We are a holding company with nominal net worth and will depend on dividends and distributions from our subsidiaries to pay any dividends.

ATD Corporation is a holding company with nominal net worth. We do not have any material assets or conduct any business operations other than our investments in our subsidiaries. Our business operations are conducted primarily out of our indirect operating subsidiary, ATDI and its subsidiaries. As a result, notwithstanding any restrictions on payment of dividends under our existing indebtedness, our ability to pay dividends, if any, will be dependent upon cash dividends and distributions or other transfers from our subsidiaries, including from ATDI. Payments to us by our subsidiaries will be contingent upon their respective earnings and subject to any limitations on the ability of such entities to make payments or other distributions to us.

34

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our shares or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our share price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our shares will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our share price or trading volume to decline. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock, or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our share price could decline.

A ratings downgrade or other negative action by a ratings organization could adversely affect the trading price of the shares of our common stock.

Credit rating agencies continually revise their ratings for companies they follow. The condition of the financial and credit markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future. In addition, developments in our business and operations could lead to a ratings downgrade for us or our subsidiaries. Any such fluctuation in the rating of us or our subsidiaries may impact our ability to access debt markets in the future or increase our cost of future debt which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition, which in return may adversely affect the trading price of shares of our common stock.

Our certificate of incorporation designates courts in the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that, subject to limited exceptions, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws or (v) any other action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine (each, a “Covered Proceeding”). In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that if any action the subject matter of which is a Covered Proceeding is filed in a court other than the specified Delaware courts without the approval of our board of directors (each, a “Foreign Action”), the claiming party will be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the specified Delaware courts in connection with any action brought in any such courts to enforce the exclusive forum provision described above and (ii) having service of process made upon such claiming party in any such enforcement action by service upon such claiming party’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such claiming party. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that, except to the extent prohibited by the DGCL, in the event that a claiming party initiates, asserts, joins, offers substantial assistance to or has a direct financial interest in any Foreign Action without the prior approval of our board of directors, each such claiming party shall be obligated jointly and severally to reimburse us and any officer, director or other employee made a party to such proceeding for all fees, costs and expenses of every kind and description (including, but not limited to, all attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses) that the parties may incur in connection with such Foreign Action. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to these provisions. These provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of our certificate of incorporation inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

35

Our bylaws provide that if a claiming party brings certain actions against us and is not successful on the merits then they will be obligated to pay our litigation costs, which could have the effect of discouraging litigation, including claims brought by our stockholders.

Under our bylaws, except to the extent prohibited by the DGCL, and unless our board of directors otherwise approves, in the event that any claiming party (a) initiates, asserts, joins, offers substantial assistance to or has a direct financial interest in a Covered Proceeding and (b) such claiming party does not obtain a judgment on the merits that substantially achieves, in substance and amount, the full remedy sought by such claiming party, then each such claiming party shall be obligated to reimburse us and any applicable director, officer or other employee for all fees, costs and expenses of every kind and description (including, but not limited to, all attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses) that we or any such director, officer or other employee actually incurs in connection with the Covered Proceeding. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the shares of capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision. This provision could have the effect of discouraging litigation against us, including claims brought by our stockholders and including claims that are partially (but not wholly) successful on the merits. However, it is currently unclear whether the Delaware legislature will take action to eliminate or limit the ability of stock corporations to implement provisions such as this, or whether Delaware courts will enforce in full a provision such as this for a Delaware stock corporation. If the Delaware legislature takes action to limit or eliminate our ability to include this provision in our bylaws or a court were to find this provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

36

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “envision,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” “contemplate” and other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding:

• plans for future growth and other business development activities;

• plans for capital expenditures;

• expectations for market and industry growth and trends;

• financing sources;

• dividends;

• the effects of regulation and competition;

• synergies and cost savings related to acquisitions;

• foreign currency conversion; and

• all other statements regarding our intent, plans, beliefs or expectations or those of our directors or officers.

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place significant reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. Important factors that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus, which include the following:

• Demand for tire products is lower when general economic conditions are weak and decreases in the availability of consumer credit or consumer spending could adversely affect our business, results of operations or cash flows.

• We depend on manufacturers to provide us with the products we sell and disruptions in these relationships or manufacturers’ operations could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

• The failure of our information technology systems could disrupt our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

• Our business requires a significant amount of cash, and fluctuations in our cash flows may adversely affect our ability to fund our business or acquisitions or satisfy our debt obligations.

• Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and limit our ability to pursue our growth strategy.

37

• The industry in which we operate is highly competitive and our failure to effectively compete may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

• Pricing volatility for raw materials could result in increased costs and may affect our profitability.

• We face risks related to integration of our recent significant acquisitions.

• We may not realize the growth opportunities and cost savings synergies that we anticipated from our recent significant acquisitions.

• Attempts to expand our distribution services into new geographic markets may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

• We regularly seek to grow our business through acquisitions, and our inability to identify desirable acquisition targets or integrate such acquisitions, including our recent significant acquisitions, could have a material adverse effect on us.

• Future acquisitions could require us to issue additional debt or equity.

Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement that we make in this prospectus speaks only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of those statements to reflect future events or developments. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from our issuance and sale of             shares of common stock in this offering will be approximately $         million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us (or approximately $         million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock in full). This estimate assumes an initial public offering price of $         per share, the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

In connection with this offering, we also intend to borrow an additional $             million through the Additional Term Loan on the same terms as ATDI’s existing Term Loan. We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering and the Additional Term Loan to repay all amounts outstanding under ATDI’s 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018. These notes bear interest at a rate of 11.50% per annum and mature on June 1, 2018. Under the terms of the indenture relating to these notes, we may redeem the notes at a price equal to 102% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. We intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds, if any, for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including supporting our strategic growth opportunities in the future.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders, including if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares. After deducting the underwriting discounts, the selling stockholders will receive approximately $         million of proceeds from this offering.

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $        , based upon the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by $         million (or approximately $         million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock in full), assuming the number of shares we offer, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Affiliates of TPG Capital BD, LLC, an underwriter of this offering, own in excess of 10% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Therefore, a “conflict of interest” is deemed to exist under FINRA Rule 5121(f)(5)(B). In addition, because the TPG Funds are affiliates of TPG Capital BD, LLC and, as selling stockholders, will receive more than 5% of the net proceeds of this offering, a “conflict of interest” is also deemed to exist under FINRA Rule 5121(f)(5)(C)(ii). Accordingly, this offering will be made in compliance with the applicable provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121(c), no sales of the shares will be made to any discretionary account over which TPG Capital BD, LLC exercises discretion without the prior specific written approval of the account holder. However, no “qualified independent underwriter” is required because the underwriters primarily responsible for managing this offering are free of any “conflict of interest,” as that term is defined in the rule. See “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest).”

39

DIVIDEND POLICY

Our board of directors does not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock. However, we expect to reevaluate our dividend policy on a regular basis following the offering and may, subject to compliance with the covenants contained in our credit facilities and other instruments governing our indebtedness which limit our ability to pay dividends and other considerations, determine to pay dividends in the future. The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of our common stock will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors, which may take into account general and economic conditions, our financial condition and results of operations, our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions, the implications of the payment of dividends by us to our stockholders or by our subsidiaries to us, and any other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

Our ability to pay dividends is restricted by certain covenants contained in our ABL Facility (as defined below), our Term Loan and in the indenture that governs our Senior Subordinated Notes (to the extent they remain outstanding following this offering) and may be further restricted by any future indebtedness that we incur. Our business is conducted through our subsidiaries. Dividends from, and cash generated by, our subsidiaries will be our principal sources of cash to repay indebtedness, fund operations and pay dividends. Accordingly, our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders is dependent on the earnings and distributions of funds from our subsidiaries. See “Description of Indebtedness.”

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization at July 5, 2014:

• on an actual basis;

• on an as adjusted basis to give effect to (1) the issuance of shares of common stock by us in this offering and the receipt of approximately $         million in net proceeds from the sale of such shares, assuming an initial public offering price of $         per share, the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, and (2) the application of the estimated net proceeds from the offering as described in “Use of Proceeds,” excluding the effect of the Additional Term Loan and the use of proceeds therefrom.

You should read this table in conjunction with the information contained in “Use of Proceeds,” “Selected Consolidated Financial and Other Data,” Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Description of Indebtedness” as well as our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

(1) As adjusted reflects the application of the estimated proceeds of the offering as described in “Use of Proceeds.”

(2) A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $         per share, the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the as adjusted amount of each of cash and cash equivalents and total stockholders’ equity by approximately $         million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

(3) In connection with this offering, ATDI also intends to borrow an additional $         million through the Additional Term Loan on the same terms as ATDI’s existing Term Loan. We intend to use the net proceeds therefrom, along with the net proceeds of this offering, to repay all amounts outstanding under ATDI’s 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018.

41

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share of our common stock in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. Dilution results from the fact that the initial public offering price per share of common stock is substantially in excess of the net tangible book deficit per share of our common stock attributable to the existing stockholders for our presently outstanding shares of common stock. Our net tangible book deficit per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets (total assets less intangible assets) less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

As of July 5, 2014, we had a historical net tangible book deficit of $         million, or $         per share of common stock, based on              shares of our common stock outstanding as of                     , 2014 (after giving effect to the one-for-                 reverse stock split effected on                     , 2014). Dilution is calculated by subtracting net tangible book deficit per share of our common stock from the assumed initial public offering price per share of our common stock.

Investors participating in this offering will incur immediate and substantial dilution. Without taking into account any other changes in such net tangible book deficit after July 5, 2014, after giving effect to the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering assuming an initial public offering price of $         per share (the midpoint of the offering range shown on the cover of this prospectus), less the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma net tangible book deficit as of July 5, 2014 would have been approximately $         million, or $         per share of common stock. This amount represents an immediate decrease in net tangible book deficit of $         per share of our common stock to the existing stockholders and immediate dilution in net tangible book deficit of $         per share of our common stock to investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

Assumed initial public offering price per share		$
Net tangible book deficit per share as of July 5, 2014, before giving effect to this offering	$
Decrease in net tangible book deficit per share attributable to investors purchasing shares in this offering
Pro forma net tangible book value per share, after giving effect to this offering
Dilution in as adjusted net tangible book deficit per share to investors in this offering		$

If the underwriters exercise their option in full to purchase additional shares, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book deficit per share of our common stock after giving effect to this offering would be $         per share of our common stock. This represents an increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book deficit of $         per share of our common stock to existing stockholders and dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book deficit of $         per share of our common stock to new investors.

Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $         per share would increase (decrease) the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book deficit per share of our common stock after giving effect to this offering by $        , or by $         per share of our common stock, assuming no change to the number of shares of our common stock offered by us as set forth on the front cover page of this prospectus and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and expenses payable by us.

42

The following table summarizes, as of July 5, 2014, on the pro forma basis described above, the total number of shares of our common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid to us, and the average price per share of our common stock paid by purchasers of such shares and by new investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering.

	Shares purchased		Total consideration			Average price per share
	Number	Percent	Amount	Percent
Existing stockholders			$		%	$
New investors			$		%	$
Total			$		%

The number of shares of common stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on              shares of common stock outstanding as of                     , 2014 (after giving effect to the one-for-         reverse stock split effected on                  , 2014) and excludes the following:

•              shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options outstanding as of                     , 2014 at a weighted-average exercise price of $         per share; and

•              shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans as of                     , 2014.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA

The following table sets forth our selected historical consolidated financial and other data for the periods indicated. The selected historical financial data as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 and for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The selected historical balance sheet data as of December 31, 2011 have been derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of such date, which are not included in this prospectus. The selected historical financial data as of July 5, 2014 and for the six months of 2014 and 2013 have been derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The selected historical balance sheet data as of June 29, 2013 have been derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements for such quarter, which are not included in this prospectus. On May 28, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2010, we were acquired by investment funds affiliated with TPG and certain co-investors (the “Merger”). In the following table, periods prior to May 28, 2010 reflect our financial position, results of operations and changes in financial position prior to the Merger (the “Predecessor”). Periods after May 28, 2010 reflect our financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial position after the Merger (the “Successor”). The selected historical financial data for the fiscal year 2009 and the five months ended through May 28, 2010 which are under the Predecessor ownership and for the seven months ended January 1, 2011 which are under Successor ownership have been derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements for such periods, which have not been included in this prospectus. Historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods, and operating results for the six months of 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 3, 2015. The pro forma data for fiscal year 2013 and the six months of 2014 have been derived from our unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Our fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Therefore, the financial results of 53-week fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarter, will not be comparable to 52-week fiscal years, and the associated quarters having only 13 weeks. The 2009 fiscal year, which ended January 2, 2010, the 2011 fiscal year, which ended December 31, 2011, the 2012 fiscal year, which ended December 29, 2012, and the 2013 fiscal year, which ended December 28, 2013, each contain operating results for 52 weeks. The five months ended May 28, 2010 contains operating results for 21 weeks. The seven months ended January 1, 2011 contains operating results for 31 weeks. The six months ended July 5, 2014 contains operating results for 27 weeks while the six months ended June 29, 2013 contains operating results for 26 weeks. It should be noted that the Company’s recently acquired subsidiaries, Hercules, Terry’s Tire, Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary, have different quarter-end reporting dates than that of the Company for the second quarter of 2014, with their quarters ending June 30. Prior to the acquisitions, Hercules had an October 31 fiscal year end, Terry’s Tire had a December 31 fiscal year end, RTD and Kirks Tire each had a January 31 fiscal year end and Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary each had a February 28 fiscal year end, but each such subsidiary changed its year end to be the same as that of the Company, effective with their respective acquisition dates. It should also be noted that, prior to fiscal 2013, our year-end reporting date was different from that of our TriCan subsidiary. For fiscal 2012, TriCan had a calendar year-end reporting date. TriCan converted to our fiscal year-end reporting date during fiscal 2013. The impact from these differences on the consolidated financial statements was not material. This selected historical consolidated financial and other data should be read in conjunction with the disclosures set forth under “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information,” “Capitalization,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Due to our prior acquisitions and future acquisitions we may engage in, our historical operating results may be of limited use in evaluating our historical performance and predicting future results. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Business and Industry—Because of our prior acquisitions and future acquisitions we may engage in, our historical operating results may be of limited use in evaluating our historical performance and predicting our future results.”

(1) Reflects the acquisition of Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary in June 2014, the acquisition of Terry’s Tire in March 2014 and the acquisition of Hercules and Kipling Tire Co. LTD in January 2014.

(2) Reflects the acquisition of RTD in April 2013.

(3) Reflects the acquisition of Wholesale Tire Distributors Inc. in December 2013, the acquisition of Tire Distributors, Inc. in August 2013 and the acquisition of RTD in April 2013.

(4) Reflects the acquisition of Triwest Trading (Canada) Ltd. d/b/a TriCan Tire Distributors in November 2012 and the acquisition of Firestone of Denham Springs, Inc. d/b/a Consolidated Tire & Oil in May 2012.

(5) Reflects the acquisition of Bowlus Service Company d/b/a North Central Tire in April 2011.

(6) Reflects the acquisition of Lisac’s of Washington, Inc. and Tire Wholesalers, Inc. in December 2010. Additionally, includes certain costs related to the start-up and development of ATD Corporation.

(7) As described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Indebtedness—Senior Secured Term Loan—Proposed Additional Term Loan,” in connection with this offering, we also intend to borrow an additional $             million through the Additional Term Loan on the same terms as ATDI’s existing Term Loan and to use the net proceeds therefrom, along with the net proceeds of this offering, to repay all amounts outstanding under our 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018. Based on the interest rate under ATDI’s existing Term Loan of 5.75% as of July 5, 2014, as applied to the Additional Term Loan and existing Term Loan as if they were outstanding for the entire periods presented, and assuming immediately prior to the periods presented the early redemption of all amounts outstanding under ATDI’s 9.75% Senior Secured Notes, which occurred on June 16, 2014, as well as the repayment of all amounts outstanding under our 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018, in each case at the redemption price set forth in their respective indentures, we estimate that our net interest expense would have decreased by approximately $             million for the year ended December 28, 2013 and by approximately $             million for the six months ended July 5, 2014, in each case before taxes. There can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate the Additional Term Loan on the terms described in this prospectus or at all.

(8) Other, net primarily includes bank fees, credit card charges to us and gains and losses on foreign currency, net of financing service fees that we charge our customers.

(9) As a result of the Merger, our capital structures for periods before and after the Merger are not comparable, and therefore we are presenting our net income (loss) per share and weighted-average share information only for periods subsequent to the Merger.

(10) Does not reflect the one-for-                 reverse stock split effected on                 , 2014.

(11) EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to reflect the items set forth in the table below. The presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with our GAAP results and the following reconciliation, we believe provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone. We also believe that such measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies similar to ours. Our board of directors, management and investors use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess our

46

financial performance because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, the indenture governing our senior notes use a measure similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure our compliance with certain covenants. Our board of directors also uses Adjusted EBITDA in determining compensation for our management. The adjustments from EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA include management and advisory fees paid to our Sponsor, non-cash stock compensation expense, transaction expenses related to our acquisitions, non-cash amortization of inventory step-up resulting from the business combination rules for our acquisitions and other items, including franchise and other taxes, non-cash gains and losses on the disposal of fixed assets and assets held for sale, exchange gains and losses on foreign currency, and non-cash impairment of long-lived assets. Amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers because not all issuers calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments set forth below. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations, determined in accordance with GAAP:

(A) Other includes non-income based taxes, impairment, gain/loss on property and equipment disposals, deferred comp. and foreign currency exchange gains/losses.

(12) Working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities.

(13) Total debt is the sum of current maturities of long-term debt, non-current portion of long-term debt and capital lease obligations.

(14) Pro forma EBITDA and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. We present pro forma EBITDA and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to provide a more complete understanding of our results of operations that gives effect to the recent significant acquisitions that we have completed. These amounts have similar limitations to the limitations described in footnote (11) regarding EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, the pro forma financial information we present is based on estimates and assumptions regarding our recent acquisitions that may end up being materially different from our actual experience. Neither pro forma EBITDA nor pro forma Adjusted EBITDA should be considered an alternative to, or more

47

meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP or pro forma net income (loss). Moreover, our debt agreements use a measure similar to pro forma Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain covenants except that, under certain of these debt agreements, the calculation of the measure allows us (subject to certain limitations) to take into account the amount of cost savings and synergies projected in good faith to be realized in the future in connection with cost saving restructuring initiatives as though those cost savings had already been realized in past periods. We have not included such projected cost savings or synergies in our presentation of pro forma Adjusted EBITDA in this prospectus. Therefore, the amount calculated pursuant to our debt agreements may be higher than pro forma Adjusted EBITDA as set forth in this prospectus. For further discussion of our cost savings initiatives, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

The following presents unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013. Since the most recent balance sheet presented in this prospectus as of July 5, 2014 includes the impact of all completed acquisitions, a pro forma balance sheet as of July 5, 2014 has not been presented. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information has been prepared from, and should be read in conjunction with, the respective historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company, Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton, RTD Calgary, Terry’s Tire, Hercules and RTD included in this prospectus. The Company’s fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53 week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31 while prior to the respective acquisition dates, Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary each had fiscal years that ended on February 28, Kirks Tire and RTD each had fiscal years that ended on January 31, Terry’s Tire’s fiscal year ended on December 31 and Hercules’ fiscal year ended on October 31. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 give effect to the acquisitions of Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton, RTD Calgary, Terry’s Tire, Hercules and RTD as if these transactions had occurred on December 30, 2012 (the first day of the Company’s 2013 fiscal year), and includes only factually supportable adjustments that are directly attributable to the acquisitions and expected to have a continuing effect.

The Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton, RTD Calgary, RTD, Terry’s Tire and Hercules acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with current accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interests. As a result, the total purchase price for each acquisition has been preliminarily allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. The preliminary allocation reflects management’s best estimates of fair value, which are based on key assumptions of the acquisitions, including prior acquisition experience, benchmarking of similar acquisitions and historical data. In addition, portions of the preliminary allocation are dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Upon completion of detail valuation studies and the final determination of fair value, we may make additional adjustments to the fair value allocation, which may differ significantly from the valuations set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The final allocation of the purchase price will be completed within the required measurement period in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations, but in no event later than one year following the completion of the acquisitions.

50

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are based on estimates and assumptions, which have been made solely for the purposes of developing such pro forma information. Pro forma adjustments arising from the acquisitions are derived from the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations also includes certain purchase accounting adjustments such as increased amortization expense on acquired intangible assets, changes in interest expense on the debt incurred to complete the acquisitions and debt repaid as part of the acquisitions as well as the tax impacts related to these adjustments. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable.

The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information is not a projection of our results of operations or financial position for any future period or date. The preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information requires the use of certain estimates and assumptions, which may be materially different from our actual experience.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

1. Basis of Presentation

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC Regulation S-X, and present the pro forma results of operations of the combined companies based upon the historical information after giving effect to the acquisitions of Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton, RTD Calgary, Terry’s Tire, Hercules and RTD and adjustments described in these footnotes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 are presented as if the acquisitions of Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton, RTD Calgary, Terry’s Tire, Hercules and RTD had occurred on December 30, 2012 (the first day of the Company’s 2013 fiscal year). Prior to their respective acquisitions, Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary each had fiscal years that ended on February 28, Kirks Tire and RTD each had fiscal years that ended on January 31, Hercules had an October 31 fiscal year end and Terry’s Tire had a December 31 fiscal year end. In addition, certain amounts in the Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton, RTD Calgary, Terry’s Tire and Hercules historical consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the Company’s basis of presentation. See also footnote 2(AE). The historical results of operations for Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary have been translated from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates of 0.912482415 for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and 0.971439337 for the year ended December 28, 2013.

2. Pro Forma Adjustments

Hercules Pro Forma Adjustments

Adjustments included in the “Hercules” columns in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are as follows:

(A) Represents the reversal of amortization of inventory step-up included in the historical results for ATD Corporation that is directly related to the Hercules acquisition and non-recurring. The carrying value of the acquired inventory was adjusted to the estimated fair market value, which is the estimated selling price less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit margin for completing the selling effort. The step-up in inventory value was amortized into cost of goods sold over the period of the Company’s normal inventory turns, which approximated two months.

(B) Represents estimated amortization of the finite-lived intangible assets acquired of $1.8 million and $15.4 million for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013, respectively. The acquired intangible assets consisted of a customer list with a valuation of $147.2 million that is being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of eighteen years and a tradename with a valuation of $8.5 million that is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of fifteen years. The estimated useful lives have been determined based upon various accounting studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors and future cash flows. The $15.4 million for the year ended December 28, 2013 is composed of $14.8 million of customer list amortization and $0.6 million of tradename amortization. A projection of future cash flows was utilized in valuing the customer list intangible asset. The Company utilizes the income-forecast method of amortization which is based on the relative annual contribution of cash flows of the asset over its life based on these projected future cash flows. Thus, the amount of the discounted cash flows generated in each year of this projection is used to determine the annual amortization of the customer list for the applicable year, which is then recognized evenly each month in the respective annual period. The annual amortization for the first year represents approximately 10% of the value of the customer list and the annual amortization for the second

54

year represents approximately 15% of the customer list value. The pro forma adjustments for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 include amortization for one month and twelve months, respectively. The tradename amortization was based on the tradename value of $8.5 million divided by 15 years for the applicable number of months in the period. In addition, the pro forma adjustment for the year ended December 28, 2013 is net of $0.5 million for the reversal of the amortization of identifiable assets as previously recorded by Hercules that has been eliminated.

(C) Represents estimated incremental depreciation expense related to the step-up in fair market value of Hercules’ property and equipment, net of $0.1 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013, respectively. The pro forma adjustment for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 included depreciation expense on a straight-line basis for one month and twelve months, respectively. The step-up in fair market value and useful life by asset category is as follows:

	FMV Step-up		Useful Life (yrs)
Land	$	999	N/A
Building		1,346	25
Tire Molds		3,215	5
Total	$	5,560

(D) Represents the reversal of transaction expenses included in the historical results for ATD Corporation and Hercules that are directly related to the acquisition and non-recurring.

(E) Represents the reversal of the interest expense recognized by Hercules, including amortization of deferred financing costs related to Hercules’ debt that was not assumed by ATD Corporation and paid-off in conjunction with the acquisition.

(F) Represents the estimated increase in interest expense associated with the issuance of $225.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Additional Senior Subordinated Notes”) and the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s U.S. ABL Facility of $43.3 million, both of which were used to finance the Hercules acquisition. In addition, the incremental amortization of deferred financing costs was included to determine the total increase in interest expense.

The estimated increase in interest expense is calculated as follows:

In thousands	Six Months Ended July 5, 2014			Fiscal Year Ended December 28, 2013
Interest expense on Additional Senior Subordinated Notes (1)	$	2,156		$	25,875
Increase in interest expense on U.S. ABL Facility (2)		124			1,510
Amortization of the original issue discount related to the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes (3)		65			737
Change in amortization of deferred financing costs related to the ABL facility (4)		(12	)		24
Incremental amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes (5)		13			152
Net adjustment	$	2,346		$	28,298

(1) Represents additional interest expense related to the $225.0 million of Additional Senior Subordinated Notes used to finance a portion of the Hercules acquisition, based on a fixed interest rate of 11.5%.

55

(2) Represents additional interest expense related to the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s of $43.3 million U.S. ABL Facility used to finance a portion of the Hercules acquisition. The Company used the weighted-average interest rate of 3.4% for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and 3.5% for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 to calculate the estimated increase in interest expense related to incremental borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility.

(3) Represents additional interest expense related to the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes original issue discount of $3.9 million which is being amortized over the life of the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes, or 52 months.

(4) Represents additional interest expense for the amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Company’s ABL Facility of $35,000 and $424,000 for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and year ended December 28, 2013 net of historical amortization expense of $47,000 and $400,000 for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and December 28, 2013. Deferred financing costs related to the U.S. and Canadian FILO Facilities totaled $577,000 and are being amortized over the life of the facilities, or 36 months. Deferred financing costs related to the Canadian ABL Facility totaled $871,000 and are being amortized over the life of the Canadian ABL Facility, or 45 months.

(5) Represents additional interest expense for the amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes of $661,000 amortized over the life of the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes, or 52 months.

A 0.125% change to interest rates on the Company’s incremental U.S. ABL Facility borrowings would result in a change in pro forma interest expense of approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 28, 2013.

(G) Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments using a combined federal and state statutory income tax rate of 39.0%. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account future tax strategies that may apply to the combined Company.

(H) Reflects the reclassification of amortization of deferred financing costs in Hercules’ historical statement of operations to conform to the Company’s basis of presentation.

Terry’s Tire Pro Forma Adjustments

Adjustments included in the “Terry’s Tire” columns in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are as follows. These adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, which may change as additional information is obtained:

(I) Reflects the reclassification of the operating results for Terry’s Tire commercial and retread businesses from continuing operations, as historically presented, to discontinued operations. As part of the acquisition of Terry’s Tire, the Company acquired Terry’s Tire’s commercial and retread businesses. As the Company’s core business does not include commercial and retread operations, the Company decided that it would divest of these businesses. Accordingly, pro forma adjustments have been made to reclassify the historical operating results of both the commercial and retread businesses from continuing operations, as historically presented, to discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.

(J) Represents the reversal of amortization of inventory step-up included in the historical results for ATD Corporation that is directly related to the Terry’s Tire acquisition and non-recurring. The carrying value of the acquired inventory was adjusted to the estimated fair market value, which is the estimated selling price less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit margin for completing the selling effort. The step-up in inventory value was amortized into cost of goods sold over the period of the Company’s normal inventory turns, which approximated two months.

56

(K) Represents an adjustment to Terry’s Tire’s historical consolidated financial statements to reverse their last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) reserve impact on cost of goods sold recorded during the year ended December 31, 2013 to conform to the Company’s accounting policy for inventory valuation using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. No similar adjustment is required for the six months ended July 5, 2014 as Terry’s Tire’s historical interim statement of operations for the six months did not include a LIFO reserve impact to cost of goods sold.

(L) Represents estimated amortization of finite-lived intangible assets acquired of $6.3 million and $21.3 million for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013, respectively. The acquired intangible assets were a customer list with a preliminary valuation of $185.8 million that is being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of 18 years and a favorable leases intangible asset with a preliminary valuation of $0.4 million that is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 5 years. The estimated useful lives have been determined based upon various accounting studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors and future cash flows. The $21.3 million amortization for the year ended December 28, 2013 consists of $21.2 million of customer list amortization and $0.1 million of favorable lease amortization. A projection of future cash flows was utilized in valuing the customer list intangible asset. The Company utilizes the income-forecast method of amortization which is based on the relative annual contribution of cash flows of the asset over its life based on these projected future cash flows. Thus, the amount of the discounted cash flows generated in each year of this projection is used to determine the annual amortization of the customer list for the applicable year, which is then recognized evenly each month in the respective annual period. The annual amortization for the first year represents 11.41% of the value of the customer list and the annual amortization for the second year represents 13.34% of the customer list value. The pro forma adjustments for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 include amortization for three months and twelve months, respectively. In addition, the pro forma adjustments for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 are net of $2.2 million and $10.2 million, respectively, for the reversal of the amortization of identifiable assets as previously recorded by Terry’s Tire that has been eliminated.

(M) Represents the reversal of transaction expenses included in the historical results for ATD Corporation and Terry’s Tire that are directly related to the acquisition and non-recurring.

(N) Represents the reversal of the interest expense recognized by Terry’s Tire, including amortization of deferred financing costs related to Terry’s Tire debt that was not assumed by ATD Corporation and paid-off in conjunction with the acquisition.

(O) Represents the estimated increase in interest expense associated with the issuance of the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes and the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s U.S. ABL Facility, both of which were used to finance the Terry’s Tire acquisition. In addition, the incremental amortization of deferred financing costs was included to determine the total increase in interest expense.

The estimated increase in interest expense is calculated as follows:

In thousands	Six Months Ended July 5, 2014		Fiscal Year Ended December 28, 2013
Interest expense on Initial Term Loan (1)	$	4,269	$	17,377
Increase in interest expense on U.S. ABL Facility (2)		652		2,641
Amortization of the original issue discount related to the Initial Term Loan (3)		43		168
Amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Initial Term Loan (4)		567		2,269
Net adjustment	$	5,531	$	22,455

57

(1) Represents additional interest expense related to the $300.0 million Initial Term Loan used to finance a portion of the Terry’s Tire acquisition, based on the current variable interest rate of 5.8%.

(2) Represents additional interest expense related to incremental borrowings of $75.8 million incurred on the Company’s U.S. ABL Facility used to finance a portion of the Terry’s Tire acquisition. The Company used the weighted-average interest rate of 3.4% for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and 3.5% for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 to calculate the estimated increase in interest expense related to incremental borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility. The six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 included interest expense for three months and twelve months, respectively.

(3) Represents additional interest expense for the amortization of the Initial Term Loan original issue discount of $750,000 using the effective interest method over the life of the Initial Term Loan, or 50 months.

(4) Represents additional interest expense for the amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Initial Term Loan of $9.5 million amortized over the life of the Initial Term Loan, or 50 months.

A 0.125% change to interest rates on the Company’s incremental U.S. ABL Facility borrowings would result in a change in pro forma interest expense of approximately $0.5 million for the year ended December 28, 2013.

(P) Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments, other than adjustment (Q), using a combined federal and state statutory income tax rate of 39.0%. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account future tax strategies that may apply to the combined Company.

(Q) Represents an adjustment to record an income tax benefit on Terry’s Tire historical loss from continuing operations before income taxes using a combined federal and state statutory income tax rate of 39.0% to conform to the Company’s accounting policy for income taxes. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account future tax strategies that may apply to the combined Company. Prior to the acquisition, Terry’s Tire was formed and taxed as an S-Corporation for income tax purposes. Accordingly, Terry’s Tire did not record any historical income tax expense (benefit).

(R) Reflects the reclassification of transaction expenses related to the acquisition in Terry’s Tire’s historical statement of operations to conform to the Company’s basis of presentation.

The acquired intangible asset consisted of a customer list with a preliminary valuation of $14.7 million that is being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of 16 years. The estimated useful life has been determined based upon various accounting studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors and future cash flows. A projection of future cash flows was utilized in valuing the customer list intangible asset. The Company utilizes the income-forecast method of amortization which is based on the relative annual contribution of cash flows of the asset over its life based on these projected future cash flows. Thus, the amount of the discounted cash flows generated in each year of this projection is used to determine the annual amortization of the customer list for the applicable year, which is then recognized evenly each month in the respective annual period. The annual amortization for the first year represents approximately 11% of the value of the customer list and the annual amortization for the second year represents approximately 13%

58

of the customer list value. The pro forma adjustments for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 include amortization for six months and twelve months, respectively.

(T) Represents the estimated increase in interest expense associated with the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s ABL Facility of $20.8 million which was used to finance the Trail Tire acquisition. The Company used the weighted-average interest rate of 3.4% for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and 3.5% for the year ended December 28, 2013 to calculate the estimated increase in interest expense related to incremental borrowings under the ABL Facility. The six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 included interest expense for six months and twelve months, respectively. A 0.125% change to interest rates on the Company’s incremental ABL Facility borrowings would result in a change in pro forma interest expense of less than $0.1 million for both the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013.

The annual amortization for the first year represents approximately 11% of the value of the customer list and the annual amortization for the second year represents approximately 13% of the customer list value. The pro forma adjustments for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 include amortization for six months and twelve months, respectively.

(AL) Represents the estimated increase in interest expense associated with the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s ABL Facility of $20.7 million which was used to finance the RTD Calgary acquisition. The Company used the weighted-average interest rate of 3.4% for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and 3.5% for the year ended December 28, 2013 to calculate the estimated increase in interest expense related to incremental borrowings under the ABL Facility. The six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 included interest expense for six months and twelve months, respectively. A 0.125% change to interest rates on the Company’s incremental ABL Facility borrowings would result in a change in pro forma interest expense of less than $0.1 million for both the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013.

(AM) Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments using the Canadian statutory income tax rate of 26.7%. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account future tax strategies that may apply to the combined Company.

(AN) Reflects the reclassification of RTD Calgary’s historical bank charges to conform to the Company’s basis of presentation.

RTD Pro Forma Adjustments

Adjustments included in the “RTD” column in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 28, 2013 are as follows:

(AO) Represents estimated amortization of the finite-lived intangible assets acquired. The acquired intangible assets consisted of a customer list with a valuation of $41.2 million that is being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of 16 years, a tradename with a valuation of $1.9 million that is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of five years and a favorable leases intangible asset with a valuation of $0.4 million that is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of four years. The estimated useful lives have been determined based upon various accounting studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors and future cash flows. The pro forma adjustment for the year ended December 28, 2013 included amortization for four months consisting of $2.4 million of customer list amortization and $0.2 million of amortization related to the tradename and favorable leases. A projection of future cash flows was utilized in valuing the customer list intangible asset. The Company utilizes the income-forecast method of amortization which is based on the relative annual contribution of cash flows of the asset over its life based on these projected future cash flows. Thus, the amount of the discounted cash flows generated in each year of this projection is used to determine the annual amortization of the customer list for the applicable year, which is then recognized evenly each month in the respective annual period. The annual amortization for the first year represents approximately 17% of the value of the customer list asset.

62

(AP) Represents the reversal of the interest expense recognized by RTD related to debt that was not assumed by ATD Corporation and paid off in conjunction with the acquisition.

(AQ) Represents the estimated increase in interest expense associated with the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s ABL Facility of $67.0 million which was used to finance the RTD acquisition. In addition, the incremental amortization of deferred financing costs was included to determine the total increase in interest expense.

The estimated increase in interest expense is calculated as follows:

In thousands	Fiscal Year Ended December 28, 2013
Increase in interest expense on ABL Facility (1)		778
Incremental amortization of deferred financing costs related to the ABL Facility (2)		177
Net adjustment	$	955

(1) Represents additional interest expense related to the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s ABL Facility of $67.0 million used to finance the RTD acquisition. The Company used the weighted-average interest rate of 3.5% for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 to calculate the estimated increase in interest expense related to incremental borrowings under the ABL Facility for the period from January 1, 2013 to April 30, 2013, the acquisition date.

(2) Represents additional interest expense for the period from January 1, 2013 to April 30, 2013 for the amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Canadian FILO Facility of $592,000 amortized over 17 months and amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Canadian ABL Facility of $469,000 amortized over 53 months.

A 0.125% change to interest rates on the Company’s incremental U.S. ABL Facility borrowings would result in a change in pro forma interest expense of approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 28, 2013.

(AR) Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments using the Canadian statutory income tax rate of 26.7%. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account future tax strategies that may apply to the combined Company.

(AS) Represents the reversal of transaction expenses included in the historical results for ATD Corporation and RTD that are directly related to the acquisition and non-recurring.

(AT) Represents the reversal of amortization of inventory step-up included in the historical results for ATD Corporation that is directly related to the RTD acquisition and non-recurring. The carrying value of the acquired inventory was adjusted to the estimated fair market value, which is the estimated selling price less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit margin for completing the selling effort. The step-up in inventory value was amortized into cost of goods sold over the period of the Company’s normal inventory turns, which approximated two months.

Use of Offering Proceeds

(AU) Reflects the             shares to be sold in this offering and the application of the net proceeds of approximately $         therefrom to be received by us, assuming an initial public offering price of $         per share (the midpoint of the offering range shown on the cover of this prospectus), as described in “Use of Proceeds,” excluding the effect of the Additional Term Loan and the use of proceeds therefrom.

Company Overview

We are the largest distributor of replacement tires in North America based on dollar amount of wholesale sales and number of warehouses. We provide a wide range of products and value-added services to customers in each of the key market channels to enable tire retailers to more effectively service and grow sales to consumers. Through our network of more than 140 distribution centers in the United States and Canada, we offer access to an extensive breadth and depth of inventory, representing more than 40,000 SKUs, to approximately 80,000 customers. In 2013, we distributed more than 40 million replacement tires after giving effect to recent acquisitions. We estimate that our share of the replacement passenger and light truck tire market in 2013, after giving effect to our recently completed acquisitions, would have been approximately 14% in the United States, up from approximately 1% in 1996, and approximately 21% in Canada.

We serve a highly diversified customer base across multiple channels, comprised of local, regional and national independent tire retailers, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, tire manufacturer-owned stores, automotive dealerships and web-based marketers. We have a significant market presence in a number of these key market channels and we believe that we are the only replacement tire distributor in North America that services each of these key market channels. During fiscal 2013, our largest customer and top ten customers accounted for 3.1% and 10.9%, respectively, of our net sales. We believe we are a top supplier to many of our customers and have maintained relationships with our top 20 customers that exceed a decade on average.

We believe we distribute one of the broadest product offerings in our industry, supplying our customers with nine of the top ten leading passenger and light truck tire brands. We carry the flag brands from each of the four largest tire manufacturers—Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear and Michelin—as well as the Cooper, Hankook, Kumho, Nexen, Nitto and Pirelli brands. We also sell lower price point associate and proprietary brands of these and many other tire manufacturers, and through our acquisition of Hercules we also own and market our proprietary Hercules^® brand, the number one private brand in North America in 2013 based on unit sales. In addition, we sell custom wheels and accessories and related tire supplies and tools. In fiscal 2013, tire sales accounted for 97.4% of our net sales, with sales of passenger and light truck tires accounting for 82.3% of our net sales. Tire supplies, tools and custom wheels and accessories represented approximately 2.6% of our net sales. We believe that our large and diverse product offering allows us to penetrate the replacement tire market across a broad range of price points.

Our growth strategy, coupled with our access to capital and our scalable platform, enables us to continue to expand organically in existing markets as well as in new geographic areas. We also expect to continue to employ a selective acquisition strategy to increase our share in the markets we currently service as well as to expand our distribution into new markets, utilizing our scale in an effort to realize significant synergies. In addition, we are investing in technology and each sales channel to fuel our future growth. As a result, we believe that we are well positioned to continue to achieve above-market growth in all market environments and to continue to enhance our profitability and cash flows.

Industry Overview

The U.S. and Canadian replacement tire markets have historically experienced stable growth and favorable pricing dynamics. However, these markets are subject to changes in consumer confidence and economic conditions. As a result, tire consumers may opt to temporarily defer replacement tire purchases or purchase less costly brands during challenging economic periods when macroeconomic factors such as unemployment, high fuel costs and weakness in the housing market impact their financial health.

From 1955 through 2013, U.S. replacement tire unit shipments increased by an average of approximately 3% per year. We believe that we are experiencing the beginning of a recovery after a prolonged downturn, which began in 2008 for the replacement tire market. Replacement tire unit shipments were up 4.4% in the United States and 0.7% in Canada in 2013 as compared to 2012, as a rebound in the housing market, a decline in unemployment rates and increases in vehicle sales and vehicle miles driven impacted the U.S. and Canadian replacement tire markets favorably. The RMA projects that replacement tire shipments will increase by approximately 2% in the United States 2014 as compared to 2013, as demand drivers continue to strengthen.

Going forward, we believe that long-term growth in the U.S. and Canadian replacement tire markets will continue to be driven by favorable underlying dynamics, including:

• increases in the number and average age of passenger cars and light trucks;

• increases in the number of miles driven;

• increases in the number of licensed drivers as the U.S. and Canadian population continues to grow;

• increases in the number of replacement tire SKUs;

• growth of the high-performance tire market; and

• shortening of tire replacement cycles due to changes in product mix that increasingly favor high- performance tires, which have shorter average lives.

Recent Developments

Acquisitions and Expansion

As part of our ongoing business strategy, we intend to expand in existing markets as well as enter into previously underserved markets and new geographic areas. Since the second half of 2010, we opened new distribution centers in 23 locations throughout the contiguous United States. We expect to continue to evaluate additional geographic markets during the remainder of 2014 and beyond.

On June 27, 2014, we completed the following acquisitions:

• Trail Tire. We acquired the wholesale distribution business of Trail Tire pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement by and among TriCan and the shareholders and principals of Trail Tire. Trail Tire is a wholesale distributor of tires, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment in Canada.

• Extreme Wheel. We acquired the wholesale distribution business of Extreme Wheel pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement by and between TriCan and the shareholder and principal of Extreme Wheel. Extreme Wheel is a wholesale distributor of wheels and related accessories in Canada.

65

• Kirks. We acquired the wholesale distribution business of Kirks Tire pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement by and among TriCan and the shareholders and principals of Kirks Tire. Kirks Tire is engaged in (i) the wholesale distribution of tire, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment and (ii) the retail sale and installation of tires, tire parts, and tire accessories and the manufacturing and sale of retread tires. We did not acquire Kirks Tire’s retail operations.

• RTD Edmonton. We acquired the wholesale distribution business of RTD Edmonton pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement by and among TriCan and the shareholders and principals of RTD Edmonton. RTD Edmonton is a wholesale distributor of tires, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment in Canada.

• RTD Calgary. We acquired the wholesale distribution business of RTD Calgary pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement by and among TriCan and the shareholders and principals of RTD Calgary. RTD Calgary is a wholesale distributor of tires, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment in Canada.

Terry’s Tire. On March 28, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Terry’s Tire pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement between us and TTT Holdings, which owned all of the capital stock of Terry’s Tire. Terry’s Tire and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of purchasing, marketing, distributing and selling tires, wheels and related tire and wheel accessories on a wholesale basis to tire dealers, wholesale distributors, retail chains, automotive dealers and others, retreading tires and selling retread and other commercial tires through commercial outlets to end users and selling tires directly to consumers via the Internet. Terry’s Tire operated ten distribution centers spanning from Virginia to Maine and in Ohio. We believe the acquisition of Terry’s Tire will enhance our market position in these areas and aligns very well with our distribution centers, especially our new distribution centers that we opened over the past two years in the Northeast and Ohio. In its most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, Terry’s Tire generated revenues and Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $502 million and $14 million, respectively and we expect the acquisition to generate annual operational synergies between $40 million and $45 million starting in 2015. For 2014, we expect to realize a portion of those synergies as we have begun the integration process.

Hercules. On January 31, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Hercules Holdings pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 24, 2014. Hercules Holdings owns all of the capital stock of Hercules. Hercules is engaged in the business of purchasing, marketing, distributing, and selling replacement tires for passenger cars, trucks, and certain off-road vehicles to tire dealers, wholesale distributors, retail distributors and others in the United States, Canada and internationally. Hercules operated 15 distribution centers in the United States, six distribution centers in Canada and one warehouse in northern China. Hercules also markets the Hercules^® brand, which is one of the most sought-after proprietary tire brands in the industry. We believe the acquisition of Hercules will strengthen our presence in major markets such as California, Texas and Florida in addition to increasing our presence in Canada. Additionally, Hercules’ strong logistics and sourcing capabilities, including a long-standing presence in China, will also allow us to capitalize on the growing import market, as well as provide the ability to expand the international sales of the Hercules^® brand. Finally, this acquisition will allow us to be a brand marketer of the Hercules^® brand, which in 2013 had a 2% market share of the passenger and light truck market in North America and a 3% market share of highway truck tires in North America. In its most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, Hercules generated revenues and Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $600 million and $27 million, respectively and we expect the acquisition to generate annual operational synergies between $30 million and $35 million starting in 2015. For 2014, we expect to realize a portion of those synergies as we have begun the integration process.

(1) Other includes management fees, restructuring initiatives, non-cash gains and losses on the disposal of fixed assets and exchange gains and losses on foreign currency.

Kipling. On January 17, 2014, TriCan entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Kipling Tire Co. LTD (“Kipling”) pursuant to which TriCan agreed to acquire the wholesale distribution business of Kipling. Kipling has operated as a retail-wholesale business since 1982. Kipling’s wholesale business distributes tires from its Etobicoke facilities to approximately 400 retail customers in Southern Ontario. Kipling’s retail operations were not acquired by TriCan and will continue to operate under its current ownership. This acquisition is expected to further strengthen TriCan’s presence in the Southern Ontario region of Canada.

RTD. On April 30, 2013, we completed the acquisition of RTD Holdco pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated as of March 22, 2013, among TriCan, ATDI, RTD Holdco and RTD. RTD Holdco has no significant assets or operations other than its ownership of RTD. The operations of RTD constitute the operations of RTD Holdco. RTD is a wholesale distributor of tires, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment in the Ontario and Atlantic provinces of Canada.

Credit Agreement Amendment

In addition, on June 16, 2014, we amended our credit agreement relating to our senior secured term loan facility to borrow an additional $420 million on the same terms as our Initial Term Loan. The proceeds from these additional borrowings were used to redeem all amounts outstanding under our Senior Secured Notes and pay related fees and expenses, as well as for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of potential future acquisitions.

Proposed Additional Term Loan

In connection with this offering, ATDI also intends to borrow an additional $             million through the Additional Term Loan on the same terms as ATDI’s existing Term Loan. We intend to use the net proceeds therefrom, along with the net proceeds of this offering, to repay all amounts outstanding under ATDI’s 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018.

Our Sponsor

Following the completion of this offering, the TPG Funds will own approximately     % of our common stock, or     % if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of our common stock is fully exercised. As a result, TPG has and will continue to have significant influence over us, including with respect to our operations. TPG may have interests that differ from our other stockholders. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Common Stock and this Offering—TPG will continue to have significant influence over us after this offering, including control over decisions that require the approval of stockholders, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of matters submitted to stockholders for a vote.” and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Agreements with TPG and Management.”

Results of Operations

Our fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Therefore, the financial results of 53-week fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarter, will

67

not be comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years and the associated quarters having only 13 weeks. The 2011 fiscal year, which ended December 31, 2011, the 2012 fiscal year, which ended December 29, 2012, and the 2013 fiscal year, which ended December 28, 2013, each contain operating results for 52 weeks. The quarters ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013 each contain operating results for 13 weeks. The six months ended July 5, 2014 contains operating results for 27 weeks while the six months ended June 29, 2013 contains operating results for 26 weeks. It should be noted that our quarter-end reporting dates are different from our recently acquired subsidiaries. Hercules, Terry’s Tire, Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary all have calendar quarter-end reporting dates with their second quarter of 2014 ending on June 30. Prior to the acquisitions, Hercules had an October 31 fiscal year end, Terry’s Tire had a December 31 fiscal year end, RTD and Kirks Tire each had a January 31 fiscal year end and Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary each had a February 28 fiscal year end, but each such subsidiary changed its year end to be the same as that of the Company, effective as of their respective acquisition dates. It should also be noted that, prior to fiscal 2013, our year-end reporting date was different from that of our TriCan subsidiary. For fiscal 2012, TriCan had a calendar year-end reporting date. TriCan converted to our fiscal year-end reporting date during fiscal 2013. The impact from these differences on the consolidated financial statements was not material.

Net Sales

Net sales for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 were $1,267.6 million, a $312.5 million, or 32.7%, increase, as compared with the quarter ended June 29, 2013. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the combined results of new distribution centers as well as the acquisitions of Hercules and Terry’s Tire and our 2013 acquisitions of Wholesale Tire Distributors (“WTD”), TDI and RTD. These growth initiatives added $296.8

68

million of incremental sales in the second quarter of 2014. In addition, we experienced an increase in comparable tire unit sales of $35.5 million primarily driven by an overall stronger sales unit environment. However, these increases were partially offset by lower net tire pricing of $16.8 million, primarily driven by manufacturer marketing specials, competitive pricing positions in certain U.S. markets, as well as a shift in product mix in our lower priced point offerings.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 were $1,063.4 million, a $260.9 million, or 32.5%, increase, as compared with the quarter ended June 29, 2013. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily driven by the combined results of new distribution centers as well as the acquisitions of Hercules, Terry’s Tire, RTD, WTD and TDI. These growth initiatives added $263.6 million of incremental costs in the second quarter of 2014. Cost of goods sold for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 also includes $12.5 million related to the non-cash amortization of the inventory step-up recorded in connection with the acquisition of Terry’s Tire as compared to $2.7 million during the quarter ended June 29, 2013. In addition, an overall stronger sales unit environment increased cost of goods sold by $12.0 million. These increases were partially offset by lower net tire pricing of $15.1 million.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 83.9% for the quarter ended July 5, 2014, a slight decrease compared with 84.0% for the quarter ended June 29, 2013. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by the margin contribution of the Hercules brand, a lower level of manufacturer price repositioning this year as compared to the prior year and an incremental benefit from manufacturer programs during the current year. This decrease was partially offset by the non-cash amortization of the $12.5 million inventory step-up recorded in connection with the Terry’s Tire acquisition, which had a 1.0% impact on cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 were $204.0 million, a $66.7 million, or 48.6%, increase as compared with the quarter ended June 29, 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily related to incremental costs associated with our new distribution centers as well as the acquisitions of Hercules, Terry’s Tire, RTD, WTD and TDI. Combined, these factors added $51.9 million of incremental costs to the second quarter of 2014. In addition, we also experienced a $9.2 million increase in salaries and wage expense primarily related to higher sales volume and related headcount as well as higher incentive and commission compensation. Additionally, occupancy & vehicle expense increased $1.3 million due to higher cost as we expanded several of our distribution centers to better service our existing customers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 16.1% for the quarter ended July 5, 2014; an increase compared with 14.4% for the quarter ended June 29, 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by an increase in costs associated with our growth expansion of recently opened and acquired distribution centers, as our consolidation of the Hercules distribution centers will not be finalized until the latter part of the third quarter and the consolidation of the Terry’s Tire’s distribution centers did not commence until the latter part of second quarter and will extend thru the latter part of the third quarter. In addition, higher depreciation and amortization expense between periods resulted in a 0.2% increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales.

Management fees

Management fees for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 of $15.0 million represents a monitoring fee paid to a management company affiliated with our Sponsor, TPG, for certain management, consulting and financial services as well as fees paid to our outside board of directors. In addition, the quarter ended July 5, 2014 includes a $13.5 million fee paid to a management company affiliated with TPG in connection with the acquisitions of Terry’s Tire and Hercules.

69

Transaction Expenses

Transaction expenses for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 were $15.5 million and were primarily related to costs associated with our acquisitions of Hercules and Terry’s Tire, as well as with expenses related to potential future acquisitions and other corporate initiatives. During the quarter ended June 29, 2013, transaction expenses of $2.3 million primarily related to costs associated with our acquisition of RTD in April 2013 and TriCan in November 2012, as well as with expenses related to potential future acquisitions and other corporate initiatives.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 was $32.2 million, a $14.8 million, or 85.3%, increase, compared with the quarter ended June 29, 2013. This increase was due to higher debt levels associated with our ABL Facility, FILO Facility, Additional Subordinated Notes and Term Loan, all as defined under “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” which were driven by our 2014 acquisitions and the redemption of our Senior Secured Notes. In addition, changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps resulted in a $0.8 million increase in interest expense.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on extinguishment of debt for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 of $17.1 million related to the early redemption of all $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 9.75% Senior Secured Notes on June 16, 2014 at a redemption price of 104.875% of the principal amount. Additionally, the loss on extinguishment of debt includes approximately $4.9 million related to the write-off of the unamortized original issuance discount and unamortized deferred financing fees associated with the Senior Secured Notes.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Our income tax benefit for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 was $26.4 million, based on pre-tax loss of $75.8 million; our effective tax rate under the discrete method was 34.8%. For the quarter ended June 29, 2013, our income tax benefit was $1.7 million, based on a pre-tax loss of $7.6 million; our effective tax rate was 22.9%.

Net Sales

Net sales for the six months ended July 5, 2014 were $2,343.1 million, a $548.0 million, or 30.5%, increase, as compared with the six months ended June 29, 2013. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the combined results of new distribution centers as well as the acquisitions of Hercules and Terry’s Tire and our 2013 acquisitions of WTD, TDI and RTD. These growth initiatives added $464.3 million of incremental sales during the six month period of 2014. In addition, we experienced an increase in comparable tire unit sales of $134.3 million primarily driven by an overall stronger sales unit environment and the inclusion of five additional selling days in our first quarter of 2014 which contributed approximately $47.0 million to the unit increase. However, these increases were partially offset by lower net tire pricing of $47.0 million, primarily driven by manufacturer marketing specials, competitive pricing positions in certain U.S. markets, as well as a shift in product mix in our lower priced point offerings.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the six months ended July 5, 2014 were $1,980.7 million, a $470.0 million, or 31.1%, increase, as compared with the six months ended June 29, 2013. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily driven by the combined results of new distribution centers as well as the acquisitions of Hercules, Terry’s Tire, RTD, WTD and TDI. These growth initiatives added $402.2 million of incremental costs during the six month period of 2014. Cost of goods sold for the six months ended July 5, 2014 also includes $31.6 million related to the non-cash amortization of the inventory step-up recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Terry’s Tire, Hercules and WTD as compared to $4.9 million during the six months ended June 29, 2013. In

71

addition, the inclusion of five additional selling days in our first quarter of 2014 and an overall stronger sales unit environment increased cost of goods sold by $95.8 million (of which approximately $41.0 million was due to the five additional selling days). These increases were partially offset by lower net tire pricing of $42.5 million.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 84.5% for the six months ended July 5, 2014, an increase compared with 84.2% for the six months ended June 29, 2013. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by the $31.6 million non-cash amortization of the inventory step-up recorded in connection with the Terry’s Tire, Hercules and WTD acquisitions. This increase had a 1.5% impact on cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales. Excluding the non-cash amortization of the inventory step-up, the decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by the margin contribution of the Hercules brand, a lower level of manufacturer price repositioning this year as compared to the prior year and an incremental benefit from manufacturer programs during the current year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 5, 2014 were $381.3 million, a $108.5 million, or 39.8%, increase as compared with the six months ended June 29, 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily related to incremental costs associated with our new distribution centers as well as the acquisitions of Hercules, Terry’s Tire, RTD, WTD and TDI. Combined, these factors added $84.8 million of incremental costs to the six month period of 2014. In addition, we also experienced a $17.3 million increase in salaries and wage expense primarily due to higher sales volume and related headcount, higher incentive and commission compensation and the inclusion of five additional selling days in our first quarter of 2014, which contributed approximately $3.8 million to the year-over-year increase. Additionally, occupancy and vehicle expense increased $2.4 million due to higher cost as we expanded several of our distribution centers to better service our existing customers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 16.3% for the six months ended July 5, 2014; an increase compared with 15.2% for the six months ended June 29, 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by an increase in costs associated with our growth expansion of recently opened and acquired distribution centers, as our consolidation of the Hercules distribution centers will not be finalized until the latter part of the third quarter and the consolidation of the Terry’s Tire’s distribution centers did not commence until the latter part of the second quarter and will extend thru the latter part of the third quarter.

Management fees

Management fees for the six months ended July 5, 2014 of $15.6 million represents a monitoring fee paid to a management company affiliated with our Sponsor, TPG, for certain management, consulting and financial services as well as fees paid to our outside board of directors. In addition, the six months ended July 5, 2014 includes a $13.5 million fee paid to a management company affiliated with TPG in connection with the acquisitions of Terry’s Tire and Hercules.

Transaction Expenses

Transaction expenses for the six months ended July 5, 2014 were $20.2 million and were primarily related to costs associated with our acquisitions of Hercules and Terry’s Tire, as well as with expenses related to potential future acquisitions and other corporate initiatives. During the six months ended June 29, 2013, transaction expenses of $3.3 million primarily related to costs associated with our acquisitions of RTD in April 2013 and TriCan in November 2012, as well as with expenses related to potential future acquisitions and other corporate initiatives.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ended July 5, 2014 was $56.6 million, a $22.0 million, or 63.5%, increase compared with the six months ended June 29, 2013. This increase was due to higher debt levels

72

associated with our ABL Facility, FILO Facility, Additional Subordinated Notes and Term Loan, all as defined under “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” which were driven by our 2014 acquisitions and the redemption of our Senior Secured Notes. In addition, changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps resulted in a $1.2 million increase in interest expense.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on extinguishment of debt for the six months ended July 5, 2014 of $17.1 million related to the early redemption of all $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 9.75% Senior Secured Notes on June 16, 2014 at a redemption price of 104.875% of the principal amount. Additionally, the loss on extinguishment of debt includes approximately $4.9 million related to the write-off the of unamortized original issuance discount and unamortized deferred financing fees associated with the Senior Secured Notes.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Our income tax benefit for the six months ended July 5, 2014 was $43.0 million, based on pre-tax loss of $126.5 million; our effective tax rate under the discrete method was 34.0%. For the six months ended June 29, 2013, our income tax benefit was $9.4 million, based on a pre-tax loss of $31.5 million; our effective tax rate was 29.7%. The effective rate of the year-to-date tax provision is lower than the statutory income tax rate primarily due to earnings in a foreign jurisdiction taxed at rates lower than the statutory U.S. federal rate and non-deductible transaction costs, which lowered the effective tax rate by 0.5% and 0.5%, respectively.

Net Sales

Net sales for fiscal 2013 were $3,839.3 million, a $383.4 million or 11.1% increase compared with fiscal 2012. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the combined results of new distribution centers as well as the acquisition of TriCan and Firestone of Denham Springs, Inc. d/b/a Consolidated Tire & Oil (“CTO”) in fiscal 2012 and RTD, TDI and WTD in fiscal 2013. These growth initiatives added $464.4 million of incremental sales during fiscal 2013. In addition, despite one less selling day in fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012, we experienced an increase in comparable tire unit sales of $3.6 million primarily driven by an overall stronger sales unit environment particularly during the fourth quarter of 2013. However, these increases were partially offset by lower net tire pricing of $92.0 million, which included $68.8 million related to passenger and light truck tires and $15.5 million related to medium truck tires, primarily driven by manufacturer price repositioning, as well as a slight shift in product mix in our lower priced point offerings specifically our entry level imported products.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for fiscal 2013 were $3,188.4 million, a $301.0 million or a 10.4% increase compared with fiscal 2012. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily driven by the combined results of new distributions centers as well as the acquisition of TriCan and CTO in fiscal 2012 and RTD, TDI and WTD in fiscal 2013. These growth initiatives added $379.1 million of incremental costs during fiscal 2013. In addition, despite one less selling day in fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012, we experienced an overall stronger sales unit environment, particularly during fourth quarter of 2013, which increased cost of goods sold by $0.9 million. Cost of goods sold for fiscal 2013 also includes $5.4 million related to non-cash amortization of the inventory step-up recorded in connection with the acquisitions of TriCan, RTD, TDI and WTD as compared to $4.1 million during fiscal 2012. These increases were partially offset by lower net tire pricing of $78.6 million.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 83.0% for fiscal 2013, a decrease compared with 83.6% from fiscal 2012. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by a higher level of manufacturer program benefits in the current year, which was driven by an approximate 4% unit growth in the U.S., but was partially offset by a higher level of negative FIFO layers in 2013 as compared to 2012, which resulted from manufacturer price reductions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2013 were $575.0 million, a $68.4 million or 13.5% increase compared with fiscal 2012. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily related to incremental costs associated with our new distribution centers as well as the acquisition of TriCan and CTO in fiscal 2012 and RTD, TDI and WTD in fiscal 2013. Combined, these factors added $69.6 million of incremental costs to fiscal 2013, including increased amortization expense of $12.1 million from newly established intangible assets. In addition, we experienced a $5.3 million increase to vehicle and occupancy expenses due to a higher overall consumption of fuel and other vehicle related expenses as well as increases in occupancy costs as we expanded several of our distribution centers to better service our existing customers. Depreciation expense added an additional $4.7 million of costs to fiscal 2013 as we increased our capital expenditure costs for information system technologies. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in salaries and wage expense of $9.0 million, which related to lower commission compensation, as well as, improved operating efficiencies and headcount leverage in most of our distribution centers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was 15.0% for fiscal 2013; an increase compared with 14.7% during fiscal 2012. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was substantially driven by an increase in non-cash depreciation and amortization expense.

74

Transaction Expenses

Transaction expenses for fiscal 2013 were $6.7 million and were primarily related to costs associated with our acquisitions of RTD, TDI and WTD as well as expenses related to potential future acquisitions and other corporate initiatives. Transaction expenses for fiscal 2012 were $5.2 million, which primarily related to acquisition costs associated with our acquisition of TriCan in November 2012 and CTO in May 2012 as well as with expenses related to potential future acquisitions and corporate initiatives. In addition, we incurred $1.3 million for exit costs associated with our decision to relocate an existing distribution center into an expanded distribution center during fiscal 2012.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for fiscal 2013 was $74.3 million, a $1.4 million or 1.9% increase compared with fiscal 2012. The increase is primarily due to higher average debt levels on our ABL Facility as well as our FILO Facility, resulting from our acquisitions of TriCan at the end of fiscal 2012 as well as RTD, TDI and WTD during fiscal 2013. In addition, interest expense for fiscal 2012 included $2.8 million relating to the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the amendment of our ABL Facility in November 2012 that did not repeat in fiscal 2013. During fiscal 2013, we also recorded $0.7 million associated with the fair value changes of our interest rate swaps. The comparable amount recorded associated with these swaps during fiscal 2012 was $1.3 million.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Our income tax benefit for fiscal 2013 was $4.0 million. The benefit, which was based on a pre-tax loss of $10.4 million, includes $66.2 million of amortization expense that is not deductible for income tax purposes. Our income tax benefit for 2012 was $6.0 million, which was based on pre-tax loss of $20.2 million, primarily resulting from a higher state effective tax rate as well as additional amortization expense related to the valuation of intangible assets acquired, which were recorded in connection with the Merger. Our effective tax rate for fiscal years 2013 and 2012 was 38.4% and 29.5%, respectively. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2013 was higher than the statutory tax rate primarily due to the adjustment to the transaction costs related to 2013 acquisitions, the release of the valuation allowance related to various state net operating losses, and the rate differences between U.S. and Canada. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2012 was lower than the statutory tax rate primarily due to the adjustment to the transaction costs related to the acquisition of TriCan, the impact from certain amortization expense that is non-deductible for tax purposes, and the rate differences between U.S. and Canada.

Net Sales

Net sales for fiscal 2012 were $3,455.9 million, a $405.6 million or 13.3% increase compared with fiscal 2011. The increase in net sales was partially driven by higher net tire pricing of $167.1 million. The pricing increase, which included $127.0 million related to passenger and light truck tires and $28.1 million related to medium truck tires, resulted from our passing through tire manufacturer price increases predominately established during 2011, as well as selling a higher mix of flag brand product and a lower mix of Chinese manufactured product. The combined results of new distribution centers opened since the beginning of 2011 as well as the acquisitions of TriCan, CTO and Bowlus Service Company d/b/a North Central Tire (“NCT”) added $181.5 million of incremental sales during fiscal 2012. In addition, an increase in comparable tire unit sales across all tire categories contributed $40.4 million, primarily driven by passenger and light truck tires. However, the increase in comparable tire unit sales was slightly impacted by destocking of lower price point inventories throughout the marketplace in anticipation of the expiration of tariffs imposed on Chinese tire imports that ceased at the end of September 2012. As a result, comparable net sales of the Chinese tire imports decreased by $34.1 million.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for fiscal 2012 were $2,887.4 million, a $352.4 million or a 13.9% increase compared with fiscal 2011. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily driven by the combined results of new distribution centers opening since the beginning of 2011, as well as the acquisitions of TriCan, CTO, and NCT. These growth initiatives added $159.2 million of incremental costs during fiscal 2012. In addition, higher net tire pricing of $126.3 million contributed to the increase. The pricing increase, which included $103.6 million related to passenger and light truck tires and $23.6 million related to medium truck tires, resulted from tire manufacturer price increases predominately established during 2011, as well as selling a higher mix of flag brand product and a lower mix of Chinese manufactured product. In addition, an increase in comparable tire unit sales contributed $22.8 million, primarily driven by passenger and light truck tires. Fiscal 2012 also includes $4.1 million related to the non-cash amortization of the inventory step-up recorded in connection with the acquisition of TriCan.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 83.6% for fiscal 2012, an increase compared with 83.1% from fiscal 2011. The increase in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by a lower level of manufacturer price increases implemented during 2012 as compared to 2011, coupled with selective discounting by certain tire manufacturers during 2012 for the intention of spurring unit sales. These price increases generate favorable inventory cost layers that are passed through to our customers in the period instituted. In addition, competitive pricing pressures have increased as distributors vie for customers in a sluggish market.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2012 were $506.6 million, a $69.3 million or 15.8% increase compared with fiscal 2011. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily related to incremental costs associated with our new distribution centers opened since the beginning of 2011 as well as the acquisitions of TriCan, CTO and NCT. Combined, these factors added $28.0 million of incremental costs to fiscal 2012, including increased amortization expense of $5.0 million from newly established intangible assets. In addition, we experienced an increase to salaries and wage expense of $14.1 million, primarily due to higher sales volume and related headcount; a $9.8 million increase to vehicle expense due to a higher price per gallon of fuel, higher overall consumption of fuel and other vehicle related expenses; as well as a $6.0 million increase in occupancy costs as we expanded several of our distribution centers to better service our existing customers. Depreciation expense added an additional $5.7 million of costs to fiscal 2012 as we increased our capital expenditure costs primarily for information system technologies.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was 14.7% for fiscal 2012; an increase compared with 14.3% during fiscal 2011. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as

76

a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by an increase in costs associated with our growth expansion of recently opened distribution centers as well as an increase in non-cash depreciation and amortization expense.

Transaction Expenses

Transaction expenses for fiscal 2012 were $5.2 million, which primarily related to acquisition costs associated with our acquisition of TriCan in November 2012 and CTO in May 2012 as well as with expenses related to potential future acquisitions and corporate initiatives. In addition, we incurred $1.3 million for exit costs associated with our decision to relocate an existing distribution center into an expanded distribution center during fiscal 2012. Transaction expenses for fiscal 2011 were $3.9 million, which primarily related to acquisition fees as well as costs incurred in connection with both the amendment of our ABL Facility and the registration of our Senior Secured Notes with the SEC. Additionally, we incurred $1.1 million for exit costs associated with our decision to relocate two existing distribution centers into two expanded distribution centers during fiscal 2011.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for fiscal 2012 was $72.9 million, a $5.3 million or 7.9% increase compared with fiscal 2011. The increase is primarily due to higher average debt levels on our ABL Facility partially offset by lower average interest rates on the outstanding debt. In addition, $2.8 million of the year-over-year increase relates to the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the amendment of our ABL Facility in November 2012 due to a change in lenders in the syndication group for the amended ABL Facility. During fiscal 2012, we also recorded $1.3 million associated with the fair value changes of our interest rate swaps. The comparable amount recorded associated with these swaps during fiscal 2011 was $0.9 million.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Our income tax benefit for fiscal 2012 was $6.0 million. The benefit, which was based on a pre-tax loss of $20.2 million, includes $58.6 million of amortization expense that is not deductible for income tax purposes. Our income tax provision for 2011 was $4.5 million, which was based on pre-tax income of $4.3 million, primarily resulting from a higher state effective tax rate as well as additional amortization expense related to the valuation of intangible assets acquired, which were recorded in connection with the Merger. Our effective tax rate for fiscal years 2012 and 2011 was 29.5% and 103.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2012 was lower than the statutory tax rate primarily due to the unfavorable adjustment to the transaction costs related to the acquisition of TriCan, the impact from certain amortization expense that is non-deductible for tax purposes, and the rate differences between U.S. and Canada. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 was higher than the statutory tax rate primarily due to a 0.5% increase in our state effective tax rate, a result based on our growing presence in jurisdictions with higher than average tax rates, and the impact from certain amortization expense that is non-deductible for tax purposes.

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. In doing so, we review and analyze our current cash on hand, the number of days our sales are outstanding, inventory turns, capital expenditure commitments and income tax rates. Our cash requirements consist primarily of the following:

• Debt service requirements

• Funding of working capital

• Funding of capital expenditures

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash flows from operations and our availability under our ABL Facility and FILO Facility. We currently do not intend nor foresee a need to repatriate funds from our Canadian subsidiaries to the U.S., and no provision for U.S. income taxes has been made with respect to such earnings. We expect our cash flow from U.S. operations, combined with availability under our U.S. ABL Facility, to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, projected working capital requirements and capital spending in the U.S. during the next twelve month period. In addition, we expect our cash flow from U.S. operations and our availability under our U.S. ABL Facility to continue to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our ongoing obligations, projected working capital requirements, restructuring obligations and capital spending in the U.S. during the foreseeable future. We expect cash flows from our Canadian operations, combined with availability under our Canadian ABL Facility, to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, projected working capital requirements and capital spending in Canada during the next twelve month period and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

We are significantly leveraged. Accordingly, our liquidity requirements are significant, primarily due to our debt service requirements. As of July 5, 2014, our total indebtedness was $1,944.3 million with a debt-to-capital ratio of 75.0%. As of July 5, 2014, we have an additional $198.4 million of availability under our U.S. ABL Facility and an additional $70.8 million of availability under our Canadian ABL Facility. The availability under our U.S. and Canadian ABL Facilities is determined in accordance with our borrowing base.

Our liquidity and our ability to fund our capital requirements is dependent on our future financial performance, which is subject to general economic, financial and other factors that are beyond our control and many of which are described under “Risk Factors.” If those factors significantly change or other unexpected factors adversely affect us, our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or we may not be able to obtain future financings to meet our liquidity needs. We anticipate that to the extent additional liquidity is necessary to fund our operations, it would be funded through borrowings under our U.S. and Canadian ABL Facilities or through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of liquidity. We may not be able to obtain this additional liquidity on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in continuing operating activities for the six months ended July 5, 2014 was $167.5 million compared with cash provided by continuing operating activities of $29.0 million during the six months ended June 29, 2013. During the current period, working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $177.7 million, primarily driven by an increase in customer accounts receivable of $38.3 million and an increase in inventory levels of $100.1 million as a result of stocking new distribution centers opened and building out the product offering provided through the Hercules acquisition, and to a lesser extent, due to the build of inventory levels for the achievement of certain manufacturer first half program incentives.

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the six months ended June 29, 2013 was $29.0 million. During the current period, working capital requirements resulted in a cash inflow of $3.8 million, primarily driven by an increase in accounts payable associated with the timing of vendor payments and a decrease in customer accounts receivable. These amounts were partially offset by changes in inventory levels which resulted in a cash outflow during the current period as a result of stocking new distribution centers opened during the year, seasonal changes in inventory stocking levels and our recent acquisitions.

Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2013 was $101.0 million compared with $10.1 million for fiscal 2012. The increase is primarily driven by cash earnings during the year. In addition, working capital requirements resulted in a net cash inflow of $9.6 million during fiscal 2013, primarily driven by a change in accounts payable associated with the timing of vendor payments which resulted in a cash inflow of $29.5 million partially offset by a cash outflow of $27.6 million related to changes in inventory levels as a result of stocking new distribution centers opened and acquired during the year as well as seasonal changes in inventory stocking levels (including the Canadian winter business).

Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2012 was $10.1 million compared with net cash used in operating activities of $90.7 million for fiscal 2011. During fiscal 2012, working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $73.2 million, primarily driven by the continued expansion of our distribution centers into new domestic geographic markets. In addition, inventory resulted in a cash outflow of $32.2 million as a result of stocking seven new distribution centers opened during 2012 and our recent acquisitions. Accounts payable and accrued expenses changes also resulted in a cash outflow of $38.1 million primarily associated with the earlier timing of vendor payments and changes in accrued incentive compensation.

79

Net cash used in operating activities for fiscal 2011 was $90.7 million. During fiscal 2011, working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $174.5 million, primarily driven by the continued expansion of our distribution centers into new domestic geographic markets. Cash outflows of $151.9 million related to inventory reflected our decision to increase manufacturer safety stock amounts as a result of tight supply levels with most of our manufacturers, the impact of manufacturer price increases on the replenishment of our inventory as well as the impact of new, acquired or expanded distribution centers. In addition, the combined impact of stocking new distribution centers and our recent acquisitions also contributed to the inventory increase. As well, higher sales volumes led to a $47.4 million increase to accounts receivable. However, these amounts were partially offset by a $19.2 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses primarily associated with the timing of vendor payments and accrued interest on our Senior Secured Notes.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended July 5, 2014 was $855.4 million, compared with $88.5 million during the six months ended June 29, 2013. The change was primarily associated with cash paid for acquisitions, which resulted in a $757.3 million increase in the current period. In addition, we invested $34.2 million and $23.8 million in property and equipment purchases during the six months ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively, which included information technology upgrades, information technology application development and warehouse racking.

Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2013 was $118.4 million compared to $167.8 million during fiscal 2012. The change was primarily associated with cash paid for acquisitions, which resulted in a $38.3 million decrease during fiscal 2013. In addition, we invested $47.1 million and $52.4 million in property and equipment purchases during fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively, which included information technology upgrades, IT application development and warehouse racking relating to existing and new distribution centers. During fiscal 2013 we received proceeds from the sale of assets held for sale of $7.8 million compared to $3.7 million during fiscal 2012.

Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2012 was $167.8 million compared to $92.2 million during fiscal 2011. The change was primarily associated with cash paid for acquisitions, which resulted in a $55.6 million increase. In addition, we invested $52.4 million and $31.0 million in property and equipment purchases during fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, respectively, which included information technology upgrades, IT application development and warehouse racking.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended July 5, 2014 was $1,013.4 million, compared with $63.0 million during the six months ended June 29, 2013. The change was primarily related to proceeds received from the issuance of our Additional Subordinated Notes and Term Loan during the six months ended July 5, 2014. These proceeds were used to finance a portion of the Hercules and Terry’s Tire acquisitions as well to redeem all amounts outstanding under our Senior Secured Notes. In addition, higher net borrowings from our ABL Facility and FILO Facility, specifically our U.S. ABL Facility, contributed to the period-over-period increase. The higher net borrowings under our ABL Facility and FILO Facility were due to the increase in cash outflow for working capital requirements between periods and cash paid for acquisitions. Additionally, the Company received an equity contribution of $50.0 million from investment funds affiliated with TPG and certain co-investors during the six months ended July 5, 2014.

Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2013 was $23.0 million compared with $168.8 million during fiscal 2012. The decrease was primarily related to lower net borrowings from our ABL Facility, specifically our U.S. ABL Facility due to the reduction in cash outflow for working capital requirements between periods and favorable cash earnings partially offset by cash paid for acquisition. In addition, cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2012 included a $60.0 million equity contribution received from the TPG Funds and certain co-investors that did not repeat during fiscal 2013.

80

Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2012 was $168.8 million compared with $186.3 million during fiscal 2011. The decrease was primarily related to lower net borrowings from our ABL Facility due to the reduction in cash outflow for working capital requirements between periods as well as the change in outstanding checks between periods. These decreases were partially offset by a $60.0 million equity contribution received from the TPG Funds and certain co-investors during 2012.

Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information

Cash payments for interest during the six months ended July 5, 2014 were $58.0 million, compared with $33.0 million paid during the six months ended June 29, 2013. The increase is primarily due to the timing of our period end on July 5, 2014, and as such, included an additional quarterly interest payment on our ABL Facility and FILO Facility as compared to the prior year. Additionally, higher levels of indebtedness incurred in connection with the issuance of our Additional Subordinated Notes and under our Term Loan also contributed to the year-over-year increase.

Net cash payments for taxes during the six months ended July 5, 2014 were $3.8 million, compared with $2.5 million during the six months ended June 29, 2013. The difference between the periods primarily relates to the balance and timing of income tax extension payments and income tax payments due with returns.

Cash payments for interest for fiscal 2013 were $68.2 million compared with $64.3 million during fiscal 2012. The increase is primarily due to higher average debt levels during fiscal 2013. In addition, we paid an additional $0.4 million during fiscal 2013 related to our interest rate swaps.

Cash payments for interest for fiscal 2012 were $64.3 million compared with cash payments for interest for fiscal 2011 of $61.7 million. The increase is primarily due to higher average debt levels during fiscal 2012 partially offset by lower average interest rates on the outstanding debt during the year. We also paid an additional $0.7 million during fiscal 2012 related to our interest rate swaps.

Cash payments for taxes during fiscal 2013 were $23.7 million compared with $6.5 million during fiscal 2012. The difference between periods primarily relates to the balance and timing of estimated income tax payments and income tax payments due with returns.

Cash payments for taxes during fiscal 2012 were $6.5 million, net of a receipt of $1.2 million related to a federal income tax refund. The remaining balance included payments for 2012 estimated tax payments and 2011 tax return payments. Cash receipts for taxes for fiscal 2011 were $8.1 million. During fiscal 2011, we utilized a federal net operating loss to recover a portion of our prior federal income tax paid. As a result, we received a $9.1 million tax refund in the fourth quarter of 2011 based on the use of this net operating loss carryback.

ABL Facility

On January 31, 2014, in connection with the Hercules acquisition, we entered into the Second Amendment to Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) which provides for (i) U.S. revolving credit commitments of $850.0 million (of which up to $50.0 million can be utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to U.S. borrowing base availability (the “U.S. ABL Facility”) and (ii) Canadian revolving credit commitments of $125.0 million (of which up to $10.0 million can be utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to Canadian borrowing base availability (the “Canadian ABL Facility” and, collectively with the U.S. ABL Facility, the “ABL Facility”). In addition, the Credit Agreement provides the U.S. borrowers under the agreement with a first-in last-out facility (the “U.S. FILO Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $80.0 million, subject to a borrowing base specific thereto and the Canadian borrowers under the agreement with a first-in last-out facility (the “Canadian FILO Facility” and collectively with the U.S. FILO Facility, the “FILO Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million, subject to a borrowing base specific thereto. The U.S. ABL Facility provides for revolving loans available to ATDI, its 100% owned subsidiary Am-Pac Tire Dist. Inc., Hercules and any other U.S. subsidiary that we designate in the future in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The Canadian ABL Facility provides for revolving loans available to TriCan, RTD and WTD and any other Canadian subsidiaries that we designate in the future in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Provided that no default or event of default then exists or would arise therefrom, we have the option to request that the ABL Facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $175.0 million (up to $25.0 million of which may be allocated to the Canadian ABL Facility), subject to certain rights of the administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing banks with respect to the lenders providing commitments for such increase. The maturity date for the ABL Facility is November 16, 2017. The maturity date for the FILO Facility is January 31, 2017.

As of July 5, 2014, we had $641.6 million outstanding under the U.S. ABL Facility. In addition, we had certain letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $10.0 million, leaving $198.4 million available for additional borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility. The outstanding balance of the Canadian ABL Facility at July 5, 2014 was $53.1 million, leaving $70.8 million available for additional borrowings. As of July 5, 2014, the outstanding balance of the U.S. FILO Facility was $80.0 million and the outstanding balance of the Canadian FILO Facility was $10.3 million.

Borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) an Adjusted LIBOR rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin of 2.0% as of July 5, 2014 or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime commercial lending rate published by the Bank of America, N.A. as its “prime rate” for commercial loans, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (3) the one month-Adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.0% per annum, plus an applicable margin of 1.0% as of July 5, 2014. The applicable margins under the U.S. ABL Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

Borrowings under the Canadian ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either (a) a Canadian base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the base rate as published by Bank of America, N.A.

The applicable margins under the Canadian FILO Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

The U.S. and Canadian borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of:

• 85% of eligible accounts receivable of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus

• The lesser of (a) 70% of the lesser of cost or fair market value of eligible tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable, and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus

• The lesser of (a) 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable, and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, applicable.

The U.S. FILO and the Canadian FILO borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of:

• 5% of eligible accounts receivable of the U.S or Canadian. loan parties, as applicable; plus

• 10.0% of the net orderly liquidation value of the eligible tire and non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable.

83

All obligations under the U.S. ABL Facility and the U.S. FILO Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp. The Canadian ABL Facility and the Canadian FILO Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. loan parties, TriCan, RTD, WTD and any future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned, material restricted Canadian subsidiaries. Obligations under the U.S. ABL Facility and the U.S. FILO Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the U.S. loan parties, subject to certain exceptions. Obligations under the Canadian ABL Facility and the Canadian FILO Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets of the U.S. loan parties and the Canadian loan parties and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the U.S. loan parties and the Canadian loan parties, subject to certain exceptions.

The ABL Facility and the FILO Facility contain customary covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates or change our fiscal year. The terms of the ABL Facility and the FILO Facility generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of our stock subject to certain exceptions requiring compliance with certain availability levels and fixed charge coverage ratios under the ABL Facility and other customary negotiated exceptions, in each case, as further described in “Description of Indebtedness.” If the amount available for additional borrowings under the ABL Facility is less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the lesser of (x) the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility and (y) the aggregate borrowing base and (b) $25.0 million, then we would be subject to an additional covenant requiring us to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of July 5, 2014, our additional borrowing availability under the ABL Facility was above the required amount and we were therefore not subject to the additional covenants.

Senior Secured Term Loan

In connection with the acquisition of Terry’s Tire, on March 28, 2014, ATDI entered into a credit agreement that provided for a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Initial Term Loan”). The Initial Term Loan was issued at a discount of 0.25% which, combined with certain debt issuance costs paid at closing, resulted in net proceeds of approximately $290.9 million. The Initial Term Loan will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 6% to an aggregate accreted value of $300.0 million, the full principal amount at maturity. The net proceeds from the Initial Term Loan were used to finance a portion of the Terry’s Tire purchase price. The maturity date for the Initial Term Loan is June 1, 2018.

On June 16, 2014, ATDI amended the Initial Term Loan (the “Incremental Amendment”) to borrow an additional $340.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loan”) on the same terms as the Initial Term Loan. Pursuant to the Incremental Amendment, ATDI also borrowed an additional $80.0 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan” and collectively with the Initial Term Loan and the Incremental Term Loan, the “Term Loan”) on the same terms as the Initial Term Loan. The proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan, net of related debt issuance costs paid at closing, amounted to approximately $335.7 million, and were used, in part, to redeem all $250.0 million aggregate principal amounts of notes outstanding under ATDI’s Senior Secured Notes and related fees and expenses as more fully described below, and the remaining proceeds will be used for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of potential future acquisitions. We received the proceeds from the Delayed Draw Term Loan at the end of the second quarter of 2014. The maturity date for the Term Loan is June 1, 2018.

Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, initially, either (a) a Eurodollar rate determined by reference to LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 4.75% at July 5, 2014 or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (2) the prime commercial lending rate published by the Bank of America, N.A. as its “prime rate” for commercial loans and (3) the one month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, plus an applicable margin of 3.75% as of July 5, 2014. The

84

Eurodollar rate is subject to an interest rate floor of 1.0%. The applicable margins under the Term Loan are subject to a step down based on a consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement for the Term Loan.

All obligations under the Term Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and, subject to certain customary exceptions, all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material subsidiaries. Obligations under the Term Loan are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all property, assets and capital stock of ATDI except accounts receivable, inventory and related intangible assets and a second-priority lien on all accounts receivable and related intangible assets.

The Term Loan contains customary covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur additional debt, create liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates, change the nature of our business or change our fiscal year. The terms of the Term Loan generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of our stock subject to certain exceptions such as the amount of 50% of net income (reduced by 100% of net losses) for the period beginning January 1, 2014 and other customary negotiated exceptions, in each case, as further described in “Description of Indebtedness.”

We are required to make principal payments equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last business day of June 2014. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, we are required to repay the Term Loan in certain circumstances, including with 50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% and 0%, as applicable, subject to attaining certain senior secured net leverage ratios) of our annual excess cash flow, as defined in the Term Loan agreement. The Term Loan also contains repayment provisions related to non-ordinary course asset or property sales when certain conditions are met, and related to the incurrence of debt that is not permitted under the credit agreement or incurred to refinance all or any portion of the Term Loan.

Proposed Additional Term Loan

In connection with this offering, ATDI also intends to borrow an additional $         million through the Additional Term Loan on the same terms as the Term Loan. We intend to use the net proceeds therefrom, along with the net proceeds of this offering, to repay all amounts outstanding under our 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due June 1, 2018. The expected maturity date for the Additional Term Loan is June 1, 2018.

Senior Secured Notes

On May 28, 2010, ATDI issued Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Secured Notes”) due June 1, 2017 in an aggregate principal amount at maturity of $250.0 million. The Senior Secured Notes were issued at a discount from their principal amount at maturity and generated net proceeds of approximately $240.7 million after debt issuance costs (which represents a non-cash financing activity of $9.3 million). The Senior Secured Notes will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 10% to an aggregate accreted value of $250.0 million, the full principal amount at maturity. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.75%. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2010. The Senior Secured Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a redemption price of 107.313% of the principal amount being redeemed if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 104.875% of the principal amount being redeemed if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015, 102.438% of the principal amount being redeemed if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016 and 100.0% of the principal amount being redeemed if the redemption date occurs thereafter.

The Senior Secured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp and TDI, subject to certain exceptions. The Senior Secured Notes are also collateralized by a

85

second-priority lien on accounts receivable and related assets and a first-priority lien on substantially all other assets (other than inventory), in each case of Holdings, ATDI and the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

The indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limits ATDI’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; pay certain dividends or make certain distributions in respect of ATDI’s capital stock or repurchase or redeem ATDI’s capital stock; make certain loans, investments or other restricted payments; place restrictions on the ability of certain of ATDI’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to ATDI; transfer or sell certain assets; guarantee indebtedness or incur certain other contingent obligations; incur certain liens; consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of ATDI’s assets; enter into certain transactions with ATDI’s affiliates; and designate ATDI’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

On May 16, 2014, ATDI delivered a Notice of Full Redemption, providing for the redemption of all $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes on June 16, 2014 (the “Redemption Date”) at a price equal to 104.875% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). On June 16, 2014, using proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan, the Senior Secured Notes were redeemed for a Redemption Price of $263.2 million.

Senior Subordinated Notes

In connection with the consummation of the Hercules acquisition, on January 31, 2014, ATDI completed the sale to certain purchasers of the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes. The net proceeds to ATDI from the sale of the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes were approximately $221.1 million.

The Additional Senior Subordinated Notes were issued pursuant to the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 31, 2014, among ATDI, the Guarantors and the Trustee (the “Seventh Supplemental Indenture”) to the Senior Subordinated Indenture. The Additional Senior Subordinated Notes have identical terms to the Initial Subordinated Notes, except the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes accrue interest from January 31, 2014. The Additional Senior Subordinated Notes and the Initial Subordinated Notes, as defined below, are treated as a single class of securities for all purposes under the Subordinated Indenture. However, the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes were issued with separate CUSIP numbers from the Initial Subordinated Notes and are not fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the Initial Subordinated Notes. Interest on the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 2014. The Additional Senior Subordinated Notes will mature on June 1, 2018.

On May 28, 2010, ATDI issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due June 1, 2018, (the “Initial Subordinated Notes” and, collectively with the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes, the “Senior Subordinated Notes”). Interest on the Initial Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2010.

The Senior Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a redemption price of 104.0% of the principal amount being redeemed if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 102.0% of the principal amount being redeemed if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015 and 100.0% of the principal amount being redeemed if the redemption date occurs thereafter.

The Senior Subordinated Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp, subject to certain exceptions. The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limits ATDI’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; pay certain dividends or make certain distributions in respect of ATDI’s capital stock or repurchase or redeem ATDI’s capital stock; make certain loans, investments or other

86

restricted payments; place restrictions on the ability of certain of ATDI’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to ATDI; transfer or sell certain assets; guarantee indebtedness or incur certain other contingent obligations; incur certain liens without securing the Senior Subordinated Notes; consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of ATDI’s assets; enter into certain transactions with ATDI’s affiliates; and designate ATDI’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The terms of the Senior Subordinated Notes generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of our stock subject to certain exceptions such as the amount of 50% of net income (reduced by 100% of net losses) for the period beginning April 4, 2010 and other customary negotiated exceptions.

In connection with this offering, ATDI also intends to borrow an additional $             million through the Additional Term Loan on the same terms as ATDI’s existing Term Loan. We intend to use the net proceeds therefrom, along with the net proceeds of this offering, to repay all amounts outstanding under the Senior Subordinated Notes.

Contractual Commitments

As of July 5, 2014, we had certain cash obligations associated with contractual commitments. The amounts due under these commitments are as follows:

In millions	Total		Less than 1 year		1–3 years		4–5 years			After 5 years
Long-term debt (variable rate) (2)	$	1,502.8	$	—	$	—	$	1,502.8		$	—
Long-term debt (fixed rate) (3)		428.9		1.5		3.4		423.8			0.2
Estimated interest payments (1)		476.8		75.7		242.3		150.7			8.1
Operating leases, net of sublease income		573.7		61.9		178.6		129.6			203.6

Total contractual cash obligations	$	2,998.9	$	139.2	$	425.8	$	2,207.9		$	226.0

(1) Represents the annual interest expense on fixed and variable rate debt. Projections of interest expense for the U.S. ABL Facility, the Canadian ABL Facility, the U.S. FILO Facility, the Canadian FILO Facility and the Term Loan are based on the weighted-average interest rate of 3.4%, 4.5%, 5.8%, 6.0% and 5.8%, respectively as of July 5, 2014. Based on the combined outstanding balance of the U.S. ABL Facility, the Canadian ABL Facility, the U.S. FILO Facility, the Canadian FILO Facility and the Term Loan as of July 5, 2014, a hypothetical increase of 1% in such interest rate percentage would result in an increase to our annual interest payments of approximately $15.0 million.

(2) Includes U.S. ABL Facility ($641.6), U.S FILO Facility ($80.0), Canadian ABL Facility ($53.2), Canadian FILO Facility ($10.3) and Term Loan ($717.7).

(3) Includes Senior Subordinated Notes ($421.4) and other debt ($7.5).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off balance sheet arrangements other than liabilities related to certain leases of the Winston Tire Company (“Winston”). These leases were guaranteed when we sold Winston in 2001. As of July 5, 2014, our total obligations as guarantor on these leases are approximately $1.6 million extending over five years. However, we have secured assignments or sublease agreements for the vast majority of these commitments with contractually assigned or subleased rentals of approximately $1.4 million as of July 5, 2014. A provision has been made for the net present value of the estimated shortfall. The accrual for lease liabilities could be materially affected by factors such as the credit worthiness of lessors, assignees and sublessees and our success at negotiating early termination agreements with lessors. These factors are significantly dependent on general economic conditions. While we believe that our current estimates of these liabilities are adequate, it is possible that future events could require significant adjustments to those estimates.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with those accounting principles requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. These estimates and assumptions have a significant effect on reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities because they result primarily from the need to make estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from estimates. The following is a summary of certain accounting estimates and assumptions made by management that we consider critical.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the best estimate of probable loss inherent within our accounts receivable balance. Estimates are based upon both the creditworthiness of specific customers and the overall probability of losses based upon an analysis of the overall aging of receivables as well as past collection trends and general economic conditions. Estimating losses from doubtful accounts is inherently uncertain because the amount of such losses depends substantially on the financial condition of our customers. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate beyond estimates, and impair their ability to make payments, we would be required to write off additional accounts receivable balances, which would adversely impact our financial position.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the FIFO method, or fair market value and consist primarily of automotive tires, custom wheels, and related tire supplies and tools. We perform periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow-moving and non-saleable inventories and record necessary provisions to reduce such inventories to net realizable value. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, we could be required to reduce the value of our inventory or record additional reserves, which would adversely impact our financial position.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

We have a history of growth through acquisitions. Assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset.

Recoverability of goodwill is determined using a two step process. The first step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed, wherein the reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill is compared to the implied fair value of goodwill. To the extent that the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value, impairment exists and must be recognized. We have only one reporting segment which encompasses all operations including new acquisitions.

Recoverability of other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the intangible assets to the estimated fair value of the respective intangible assets. Any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss equal to that excess.

The determination of estimated fair value requires management to make assumptions about estimated cash flows, including profit margins, long-term forecasts, discount rates, royalty rates and terminal growth rates. Management developed these assumptions based on the best information available as of the date of the

88

assessment. We completed our assessment of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives as of November 30, 2013 and determined that no impairment existed at that date. Based on the results of our goodwill impairment assessment, the fair value of our one reporting unit significantly exceeded the carrying value. Therefore, we do not believe there is any risk of the Company failing step one of the goodwill impairment test in the near future. Although no impairment has been recorded to date, there can be no assurances that future impairments will not occur. Future adverse developments in market conditions or our current or projected operating results could cause the fair value of our goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives to fall below carrying value, which would result in an impairment charge that would adversely affect our financial position.

Long-Lived Assets

Management reviews long-lived assets, which consist of property, leasehold improvements, equipment and definite-lived intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, management evaluates recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets for which we have committed to a disposal plan, we report such assets at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less the cost to sell.

In determining the fair value of long-lived assets, we make judgments relating to the expected useful lives of long-lived assets and our ability to realize any undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of such assets. Factors that impact these judgments include the ongoing maintenance and improvements of the assets, changes in the expected use of the assets, changes in economic conditions, changes in operating performance and anticipated future cash flows. If actual fair value is less than our estimates, long-lived assets may be overstated on the balance sheet, which would adversely impact our financial position.

Self-Insured Reserves

We are self-insured for automobile liability, workers’ compensation and the health care claims of our team members, although we maintain stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit our total liability exposure. We establish reserves for losses associated with claims filed, as well as claims incurred but not yet reported, using actuarial methods followed in the insurance industry and our historical claims experience. If amounts ultimately paid differ significantly from our estimates, it could adversely impact our financial position.

Exit Cost Reserves

During the normal course of business, we continually assess the location and size of our distribution centers in order to determine our optimal geographic footprint and overall structure. As a result, we have certain facilities that we have closed or intend to close and we record reserves for certain exit costs associated with these facilities. These exit cost reserves are recorded in an amount equal to future minimum lease payments and related ancillary costs from the date of closure to the end of the lease term, net of estimated sublease rentals we reasonably expect to obtain for the property. We estimate future cash flows based on contractual lease terms, the geographic market in which the facility is located, inflation, the ability to sublease the property and other economic conditions. We estimate sublease rentals based on the geographic market in which the property is located, our experience subleasing similar properties and other economic conditions. If actual exit costs associated with closing these facilities differ from our estimates, it could adversely impact our financial position.

Income Taxes and Valuation Allowances

We record a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. The provision is computed using the asset and liability method of accounting, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

89

In addition, we recognize future tax benefits, such as net operating losses and tax credits, to the extent that realizing these benefits is considered in our judgment to be more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax items are expected to be realized or settled. We regularly review the recoverability of our deferred tax assets considering historic profitability, projected future taxable income, and timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences as well as the feasibility of our tax planning strategies. Where appropriate, we record a valuation allowance if available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes to valuation allowances are recognized in earnings in the period such determination is made.

The application of income tax law is inherently complex and involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant facts and laws in the jurisdiction in which we operate. In addition, we are required to make certain assumptions regarding our income tax positions and the likelihood that such tax positions will be sustained if challenged. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with management’s expectations could have a material impact on amounts we recognize in our consolidated balance sheets and adversely impact our financial position.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized and earned when all of the following criteria are satisfied: (a) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; (b) price is fixed or determinable; (c) collectability is reasonably assured; and (d) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered. We recognize revenue when the title and the risk and rewards of ownership have substantially transferred to the customer, which is upon delivery under free-on-board destination terms.

We permit customers from time to time to return certain products but there is no contractual right of return. We continuously monitor and track such returns and record an estimate of such future returns, based on historical experience and recent trends. While such returns have historically been within management’s expectations and the provisions established have been adequate, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same return rates that we have in the past. If future returns increase significantly, it could adversely impact our results of operations.

Manufacturer Rebates

We receive rebates from tire manufacturers pursuant to a variety of rebate programs. These rebates are recorded in accordance with accounting standards applicable to cash consideration received from vendors. Many of the tire manufacturer programs provide that we receive rebates when certain measures are achieved, generally related to the volume of our purchases. We account for these rebates as a reduction to the price of the product, which reduces the carrying value of our inventory, and our cost of goods sold when product is sold. During the year, we record amounts earned for annual rebates based on purchases management considers probable for the full year. These estimates are periodically revised to reflect rebates actually earned based on actual purchase levels. Tire manufacturers may change the terms of some or all of these programs, which could increase our cost of goods sold and decrease our net income, particularly if these changes are not passed along to the customer.

Customer Rebates

We offer rebates to our customers under a number of different programs. These rebates are recorded in accordance with authoritative guidance related to accounting for consideration given by a vendor to a customer. These programs typically provide customers with rebates, generally in the form of a reduction to the amount they owe us, when certain measures are achieved, generally related to the volume of product purchased from us. We record these rebates through a reduction in the related price of the product, which decreases our net sales. During the year, we estimate rebate amounts based on the rebate rates we expect customers will achieve for the full year. These estimates are periodically revised to reflect rebates actually earned by customers.

90

Cooperative Advertising and Marketing Programs

We participate in cooperative advertising and marketing programs, or co-op advertising, with our vendors. Co-op advertising funds are provided to us generally based on the volume of purchases made with vendors that offer such programs. A portion of the funds received must be used for specific advertising and marketing expenditures incurred by us or our customers. The co-op advertising funds received by us from our vendors are accounted for in accordance with authoritative guidance related to accounting for cash consideration received from a vendor, which requires that we record the funds received as a reduction of cost of sales or as an offset to specific costs incurred in selling the vendor’s products. The co-op advertising funds that are provided to our customers are accounted for in accordance with authoritative guidance related to accounting for cash consideration given by a vendor to a customer, which requires that we record the funds paid as a reduction of revenue since no separate identifiable benefit is received by us.

Stock Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718—Compensation, which requires a fair-value based method for measuring the value of stock-based compensation. Fair value is measured once at the date of grant and is not adjusted for subsequent changes. Our stock-based compensation plans include programs for stock options and restricted stock awards.

We estimate the grant date fair value, and the resulting stock-based compensation expense, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of highly subjective assumptions which determine the fair value of stock-based awards. These assumptions include:

Expected Term—The expected term represents the period that stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. We used the simplified method to determine the expected term, which is calculated as the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options.

Expected Volatility—Since we are currently privately held and do not have any trading history for our common stock, the expected volatility was estimated based on the average volatility for comparable publicly traded peer companies over a period equal to the expected term of the stock option grants. When selecting comparable publicly traded peer companies on which we based our expected stock price volatility, we selected companies with comparable characteristics to us, including enterprise value, risk profiles, and with historical share price information sufficient to meet the expected life of the stock-based awards. The historical volatility data was computed using the daily closing prices for the selected companies’ shares during the equivalent period of the calculated expected term of the stock-based awards. We will continue to apply this process until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of our own stock price becomes available.

Risk-Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of option.

Expected Dividend—We have never paid dividends on our common stock and have no plans to pay dividends on our common stock. Therefore, we used an expected dividend yield of zero.

In addition to the Black-Scholes assumptions, we estimate our forfeiture rate based on an analysis of our actual forfeitures and will continue to evaluate the adequacy of the forfeiture rate based on actual forfeiture experience, analysis of employee turnover behavior, and other factors. The impact from any forfeiture rate adjustment would be recognized in full in the period of adjustment and if the actual number of future forfeitures differs from our estimates, we might be required to record adjustments to stock-based compensation in future periods. These assumptions represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our equity-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

91

The following table provides, by grant date, the number of stock options awarded from May 28, 2010, the date of the Merger, through the date of this prospectus and the exercise price for each set of grants, as well as the estimated fair value of the underlying common shares on the grant date:

Grant Date	Options Granted		Exercise Price		Fair Value At Issuance
August 30, 2010		40,824,000	$	1.00	$	1.00
October 14, 2010		1,248,000	$	1.00	$	1.00
March 24, 2011		200,000	$	1.00	$	1.00
June 6, 2011		1,500,000	$	1.00	$	1.00
January 1, 2012		777,600	$	1.14	$	1.14
January 23, 2012		1,500,000	$	1.14	$	1.14
February 15, 2013		3,466,903	$	1.20	$	1.20
April 28, 2014		4,528,833	$	1.50	$	1.50

In the absence of a public trading market, our board of directors, based in part on input from management and the Sponsor, as well as the review of contemporaneous third-party valuation reports, determined a reasonable estimate of the then-current fair value of our common stock for purposes of determining fair value of our stock options on the date of grant. We determined the fair value of our common stock utilizing methodologies, approaches and assumptions consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, “Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.” Our approach considered contemporaneous common stock valuations in determining the equity value of our company using a weighted combination of various methodologies, each of which can be categorized under either of the following two valuation approaches: the income approach and the market approach.

In addition, we exercised judgment in evaluating and assessing the foregoing based on several factors including:

• the nature and history of our business;

• our current and historical operating performance;

• our expected future operating performance;

• our financial condition at the grant date;

• the lack of marketability of our common stock;

• the value of companies we consider peers based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, similarity to us with respect to industry, business model, stage of growth, intangible value, company size, geographic diversification, profitability, financial risk and other factors;

• likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or a merger or acquisition of our company given prevailing market conditions;

• industry information such as market size and growth; and

• macroeconomic conditions.

The board of directors and management intended all options granted to be exercisable at a price per share not less than the per share fair value of our common stock underlying those options on the date of grant. We generally grant options to participants with an exercise price equal to the then current fair value of the common stock.

Foreign Currency Translation

All foreign currency denominated balance sheet accounts are translated at year end exchange rates and revenue and expense accounts are translated at weighted-average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholder’s equity. Transactional foreign currency gains and losses are included in other expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” which amended the guidance on the annual impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. The amended guidance will allow a company the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If, based on the qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if a company concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. This new guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance on December 30, 2012 (the first day of our 2013 fiscal year); however, we performed our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2013.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” which amended the guidance for reporting reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amended guidance requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is entirely reclassified to net income, as required by U.S. GAAP. For other amounts, that are not required by U.S. GAAP to be entirely reclassified to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures that will provide additional detail concerning these amounts. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. We adopted this guidance on December 30, 2012 and its adoption did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exits.” ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” (“ASU 2014-08”). Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that have a major effect on a company’s operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, ASU 2014-08 requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. However, ASU 2014-08 should not be applied to a component that is classified as held for sale before the effective date even if the component is disposed of after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statement previously issued. We are currently assessing the impact, if any on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition—Construction—Type and Production—Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance.

93

These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2018 and, at that time we may adopt the new standard under the full retrospective method or the modified retrospective method.

Interest Rate Risk

Our ABL Facility, FILO Facility and Term Loan are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates which could impact our results of operations and financial condition. Interest on the ABL Facility, FILO Facility and Term Loan are tied to, at our option, either a base rate, or a prime rate, or LIBOR. At July 5, 2014, the total amount outstanding under our ABL Facility, FILO Facility and Term Loan that was subject to interest rate changes was $1,502.8 million.

To manage this exposure, we use interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge the changes in our variable interest rate debt. Interest rate swap agreements utilized by us in our hedging programs are viewed as risk management tools, involve little complexity and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. To minimize the risk of counterparty non-performance, interest rate swap agreements are made only through major financial institutions with significant experience in such instruments.

At July 5, 2014, $1,102.8 million of the total outstanding balance of our ABL Facility, FILO Facility and Term Loan that was not hedged by an interest rate swap agreement and thus subject to interest rate changes. Based on this amount, a hypothetical increase of 1% in such interest rate percentages would result in an increase to our annual interest expense by $11.0 million.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The financial position and results of operations for TriCan, our 100% owned subsidiary acquired during 2012, are impacted by movements in the exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar. As of July 5, 2014, we did not have any foreign currency derivatives in place. We assess the market risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential impact on our earnings. During the year ended December 28, 2013 and the six months ended July 5, 2014, a hypothetical 10% fluctuation in the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate would have affected our net income (loss) by $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

BUSINESS

Our Company

We are the largest distributor of replacement tires in North America based on dollar amount of wholesale sales and number of warehouses. We provide a wide range of products and value-added services to customers in each of the key market channels to enable tire retailers to more effectively service and grow sales to consumers. Through our network of more than 140 distribution centers in the United States and Canada, we offer access to an extensive breadth and depth of inventory, representing more than 40,000 SKUs, to approximately 80,000 customers. In 2013, we distributed more than 40 million replacement tires after giving effect to recent acquisitions. We estimate that our share of the replacement passenger and light truck tire market in 2013, after giving effect to our recently completed acquisitions, would have been approximately 14% in the United States, up from approximately 1% in 1996, and approximately 21% in Canada.

We serve a highly diversified customer base across multiple channels, comprised of local, regional and national independent tire retailers, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, tire manufacturer-owned stores, automotive dealerships and web-based marketers. We have a significant market presence in a number of these key market channels and we believe that we are the only replacement tire distributor in North America that services each of these key market channels. During fiscal 2013, our largest customer and top ten customers accounted for 3.1% and 10.9%, respectively, of our net sales. We believe we are a top supplier to many of our customers and have maintained relationships with our top 20 customers that exceed a decade on average.

We believe we distribute one of the broadest product offerings in our industry, supplying our customers with nine of the top ten leading passenger and light truck tire brands. We carry the flag brands from each of the four largest tire manufacturers—Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear and Michelin—as well as the Cooper, Hankook, Kumho, Nexen, Nitto and Pirelli brands. We also sell lower price point associate and proprietary brands of these and many other tire manufacturers, and through our acquisition of Hercules we also own and market our proprietary Hercules^® brand, the number one private brand in North America in 2013 based on unit sales. In addition, we sell custom wheels and accessories and related tire supplies and tools. In fiscal 2013, tire sales accounted for 97.4% of our net sales, with sales of passenger and light truck tires accounting for 82.3% of our net sales. Tire supplies, tools and custom wheels and accessories represented approximately 2.6% of our net sales. We believe that our large and diverse product offering allows us to penetrate the replacement tire market across a broad range of price points.

Our growth strategy, coupled with our access to capital and our scalable platform, enables us to continue to expand organically in existing markets as well as in new geographic areas. We also expect to continue to employ a selective acquisition strategy to increase our share in the markets we currently service as well as to expand our distribution into new markets, utilizing our scale in an effort to realize significant synergies. In addition, we are investing in technology and each sales channel to fuel our future growth. As a result, we believe that we are well positioned to continue to achieve above-market growth in all market environments and to continue to enhance our profitability and cash flows.

Geographic Footprint

In fiscal 2009, our net income was $4.9 million and in fiscal 2013 our net loss was $6.4 million. This decrease in net income was primarily the result of increased interest expense related to our acquisition by investment funds affiliated with TPG in 2010, as well as interest associated with our eight acquisitions from 2010 through 2013, and non-cash amortization expense related to our intangible assets. From fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2013, our net sales increased from $2.2 billion to $3.8 billion, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 15.3%, and Adjusted EBITDA increased from $101.0 million to $195.5 million, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 17.9%. See “Selected Consolidated Financial and Other Data” for a presentation of net sales and Adjusted EBITDA data for each of our fiscal years in this period. Over the same period, our unit volume grew from approximately 19.5 million to approximately 26.0 million while, according to the RMA, unit volume in the North American replacement tire market grew from approximately 238.9 million to approximately 246.0 million. Our superior growth was driven by our organic initiatives and our acquisitions.

For the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 our net sales were $2.6 billion and $5.1 billion, respectively, our net loss from continuing operations was $77.0 million and $47.5 million, respectively, and our Adjusted EBITDA was $93.1 million and $251.5 million, respectively, in each case including the pro forma effects of our recent acquisitions. Additional information regarding Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA, including a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations and a reconciliation of pro forma Adjusted EBITDA to pro forma net income (loss) from continuing operations, is included in “—Summary Consolidated Financial and Other Data.” Additional information regarding the pro forma effects of our recent acquisitions is included in “—Summary Consolidated Financial and Other Data” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information.”

We have a substantial amount of debt, which requires significant interest and principal payments. See “Risk Factors—As of July 5, 2014, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to this offering and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, we would have had total indebtedness of approximately $             million, and our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and growth strategy.”

Our Industry

According to Modern Tire Dealer, the U.S. replacement tire market generated annual retail sales of approximately $37.3 billion in 2013. Passenger tires, medium truck tires and light truck tires accounted for 66.9%, 16.9% and 13.1%, respectively, of the total U.S. market. Farm, specialty and other types of tires accounted for the remaining 3.1% of the total U.S. market. The Canadian replacement tire market generated annual retail sales of approximately $3.7 billion in 2012. Passenger and light truck tires accounted for 53% while commercial tires accounted for 20% of the total Canadian replacement tire market. Farm, specialty and other types of tires accounted for the remaining 27% of the total Canadian replacement tire market. According to a Tire Review survey conducted in 2013, U.S. tire dealers buy 55.4% of their consumer tires from wholesale distributors like us and 27.7% direct from tire manufacturers, with the remaining volume coming from various other sources.

In the United States and Canada, replacement tires are sold to consumers through several different channels, including local, regional and national independent tire retailers, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, tire manufacturer-owned stores, automotive dealerships and web-based marketers. Between 1990 and 2013, independent tire retailers and automotive dealerships have enjoyed the largest increase in U.S. replacement tire market share, according to Modern Tire Dealer, moving from 54% to 60.5% and 1% to 7.5% of the market, respectively. In 2012, replacement tire sales to independent tire retailers and automotive dealerships represented approximately 44% and 18%, respectively, of Canadian replacement tire market share. Mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, manufacturer-owned stores and web-based marketers comprise the remaining market share in both the United States and Canada.

Since 2000, the number of specific tire sizes in the market has increased by 61%. One driver of this increase was above-market growth in high-performance tires. The increase in the number of tire sizes coupled with the large number of brands in the market place has driven SKU proliferation in the replacement tire market. As a result of the SKU proliferation and due to their capital and physical space constraints, many tire retailers are unable to carry sufficient inventory to meet the demands of their customers. This trend has helped increase the need for distributors in the replacement tire market.

The U.S. and Canadian replacement tire markets have historically experienced stable growth and favorable pricing dynamics. However, these markets are subject to changes in consumer confidence and economic conditions. As a result, tire consumers may opt to temporarily defer replacement tire purchases or purchase less costly brands during challenging economic periods when macroeconomic factors such as unemployment, high fuel costs and weakness in the housing market impact their financial health.

From 1955 through 2013, U.S. replacement tire unit shipments increased by an average of approximately 3% per year. We believe that we are experiencing the beginning of a recovery after a prolonged downturn, which began in 2008 for the replacement tire market. Replacement tire unit shipments were up 4.4% in the United States and 0.7% in Canada in 2013 as compared to 2012, as a rebound in the housing market, a decline in unemployment rates and increases in vehicle sales and vehicle miles driven impacted the U.S. and Canadian replacement tire markets favorably. The RMA projects that replacement tire shipments will increase by approximately 2% in the United States in 2014 as compared to 2013, as demand drivers continue to strengthen.

Going forward, we believe that long-term growth in the U.S. and Canadian replacement tire markets will continue to be driven by favorable underlying dynamics, including:

• increases in the number and average age of passenger cars and light trucks;

• increases in the number of miles driven;

• increases in the number of licensed drivers as the U.S. and Canadian population continues to grow;

• increases in the number of replacement tire SKUs;

• growth of the high-performance tire market; and

97

• shortening of tire replacement cycles due to changes in product mix that increasingly favor high- performance tires, which have shorter average lives.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe the following key strengths have enabled us to become the largest distributor of replacement tires in North America and position us to achieve future revenue growth in excess of the long-term growth rates of the U.S. and Canadian replacement tire industry:

Leading Position in a Large and Highly Fragmented Marketplace. We are the largest distributor of replacement tires in North America with an estimated market share in 2013 of approximately 14%, after giving effect to our recently completed acquisitions, in a $37.3 billion market in the United States. Our estimated market share in 2013 of the replacement passenger and light truck tire market in Canada was approximately 21%, after giving effect to our recently completed acquisitions. We believe our scale provides us key competitive advantages relative to our smaller, and generally regionally-focused, competitors. These include the ability to: efficiently stock and deliver a wide variety of tires; invest in services, including sales tools and technologies, to support our customers; and realize operating efficiencies from our scalable infrastructure. We believe our leading market position and presence in each of the key market channels, combined with our commitment to distribution, as opposed to the retail operations engaged in by our customers, enhances our ability to expand our sales footprint cost effectively both in our existing markets and in new domestic geographic markets.

Scale Advantage from Extensive and Efficient Distribution Network. We believe we have the largest independent replacement tire distribution network in North America with more than 140 distribution centers (excluding distribution centers acquired in our recent acquisitions that are expected to be closed as part of the integration process) and approximately 1,000 delivery vehicles. Our distribution footprint services geographic regions in the United States that represented more than 90% of the replacement tire market for passenger and light truck tires in 2013, and we believe our geographic coverage in Canada is also very extensive. Our extensive distribution footprint, combined with sophisticated inventory management and logistics technologies, enable us to deliver the vast majority of orders on a same or next day basis, which is critical for tire retailers who are typically limited by physical inventory capacity and working capital constraints. Our delivery technologies allow us to more effectively and efficiently organize and optimize our route systems to provide timely product delivery. Our distribution systems are integrated with our proprietary business-to-business ATDOnline^® order fulfillment system that captures more than 65% of our orders electronically, and our Oracle ERP system provides a scalable platform that can support future growth and ongoing cost reduction initiatives, including warehouse and truck management systems, which we believe will allow us to continue reducing warehouse and delivery costs per unit.

Broad Product Offering from Diverse Supplier Base. We believe we offer the most comprehensive selection of passenger and light truck tires in the industry through a diverse group of suppliers. We supply nine of the top ten leading passenger and light truck tire brands, and we carry the flag brands from each of the four largest tire manufacturers—Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear and Michelin—as well as the Cooper, Hankook, Kumho, Nexen, Nitto and Pirelli brands. Our tire product line includes a full suite of flag, associate and proprietary brand tires, allowing us to service a broad range of price points from entry-level imported products to the faster-growing high-performance category. Through our acquisition of Hercules, we also own and market our proprietary Hercules^® brand, the number one private brand in North America in 2013 based on unit sales. In addition to tires, we also offer custom wheels and accessories and related tire supplies and tools. We believe that our broad product offering drives increased sales among existing customers, attracts new customers and increases customer retention.

Broad Range of Value-Added Services. We provide a wide range of services that enable our tire retailer customers to operate their businesses more profitably. These services include convenient access to and timely delivery of the broadest product offerings available in the industry, as well as fundamental business support services, such as administration of tire manufacturer affiliate programs and credit, training and access to consumer market data, which enable our tire retailer customers to better service their individual markets. We

98

provide our U.S. customers with convenient 24/7 access to our extensive product offerings through our proprietary business-to-business web portal, ATDOnline^®. Our online services also include TireBuyer.com^®, which allows our U.S. independent tire retailers the ability to participate in the Internet marketing of tires to consumers. We also provide select, qualified U.S. independent tire retailers with the opportunity to participate in our Tire Pros^® franchise program through which they receive advertising and marketing support and the benefits of a national brand identity. We believe our value-added services as well as the integration between our infrastructure and our customers’ operations enable us to maintain high rates of customer retention and build strong customer loyalty.

Diversified Customer Base and Longstanding Customer Relationships Across Multiple Channels. We serve a highly diversified customer base in each of the key market channels, including local, regional and national independent tire retailers, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, tire manufacturer-owned stores, automotive dealerships and web-based marketers. We believe we are the only distributor of replacement tires in North America that services each of these key market channels. Our business is diversified across the key market channels and reflects the evolving complexity of the North American replacement tire market, with independent tire retailers accounting for 76% of our net sales in 2013 as compared to 85% of our net sales in 2009. We believe we are a top supplier to many of our customers and maintain relationships with our top 20 customers that exceed a decade on average. We believe the diversity of our customer base and the strength of our customer relationships present an opportunity to grow market share regardless of macroeconomic and replacement tire market conditions.

Consistent Financial Performance and Strong Cash Flow Generation. Our financial performance has benefited from substantial growth that has been achieved through a combination of organic initiatives and acquisitions. Over the ten-year period from fiscal 2003 to fiscal 2013, our net sales grew at a compound annual rate of 13.2%, reflecting our strong revenue base, evolving business mix, scalable operating model and successful growth strategies.

The following chart shows our net sales for each fiscal year in the period from 2003 to 2013:

In addition, we believe the low capital intensity of our business combined with the efficient management of our working capital, due in part to our advanced inventory management systems in the United States that we are also in the process of implementing in Canada, and close vendor relationships, will enable us to generate strong cash flows. In addition, as a result of our presence in each major channel within the replacement tire market and based upon our ability to rationalize our operating costs, as necessary, we experienced only moderate margin contraction during the recent economic downturn.

Experienced Management Team Supported by Strong Equity Sponsorship. Our senior management team, led by our President and Chief Executive Officer William E. Berry, has an average of over 20 years of

99

experience in the replacement tire distribution industry. Although we have experienced net losses for the past three years, management has implemented successful initiatives in a leveraged environment, including the execution of a disciplined acquisition strategy, which has contributed to our gross profit expansion and above-market net sales growth during that period. In addition, we have reduced costs through the integration of operating systems and introduction of standard operating practices, particularly in the United States, resulting in improved operating efficiencies, reduced headcount and improved operating profit at existing and acquired locations. We also benefit from the extensive management and business experience provided by our Sponsor, TPG.

Our Business Strategy

Our objective is to further expand our position as the largest distributor of replacement tires in North America and establish our company as the leading distributor in each of the key market channels that we serve, while continuing to provide our customers with a range of value-added services such as frequent and timely delivery of inventory, the broadest and deepest range of products, and other business support services. We intend to accomplish this objective, drive above-market growth and further enhance our profitability and cash flows by executing on the following key operating strategies:

Grow Organically in Excess of Market. It is at the core of our strategy to grow our profits and cash flows organically through further penetration of all of our key market channels, through greenfield expansion, through further penetration of our Hercules^® brand, the number one private brand in North America in 2013 based on unit sales, through further establishment and expansion of TireBuyer.com^®, and through further expansion and development of our value-added services.

Expand Penetration in Each of the Key Market Channels. We have a significant presence in each of the key market channels, including local, regional and national independent tire retailers, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, tire manufacturer-owned stores, automotive dealerships and web-based marketers. We regularly seek opportunities to grow our market share in each channel by customizing our sales strategies to suit the particular needs of that channel, and are focused on training and deploying sales personnel to help build our sales, particularly in the faster-growing automotive dealership channel, and strengthen and expand our relationships with retailers. We have observed an increase in sales through web-based marketers and seek to grow our presence in that channel through our Internet site, TireBuyer.com.

Continue Greenfield Expansion in Existing and New Geographic Markets. While we already have the largest distribution footprint in the North American replacement tire market, servicing geographic regions of the United States that represented more than 90% of the replacement tire market for passenger and light truck tires in 2013 and with geographic coverage in Canada that we believe is also very extensive, we believe there are numerous further underserved areas in both our existing geographic markets as well as in areas not currently serviced by us that are favorably situated to support and grow additional distribution centers. Since 2010, we have successfully opened 23 greenfield distribution centers, and we intend to continue to expand our existing footprint in the United States and Canada in areas where we see opportunities.

Expand Our Hercules^® Brand. Through our recently completed acquisition of Hercules, we now market the proprietary Hercules^® brand, the number one private brand in North America in 2013 based on unit sales. We believe our expansive distribution network in the United States and Canada, combined with our greater access to capital, will allow us to both expand product availability and increase market share of the Hercules^® brand. Further, we expect that Hercules’ multi-decade Asian sourcing experience, including its 250,000 square foot warehouse in northern China, will enhance our supply and distribution capabilities.

Grow TireBuyer.com^® into a Premier Internet Tire Provider. TireBuyer.com^® is our Internet site that enables our U.S. independent tire retailer customers to connect with consumers. TireBuyer.com^® allows our broad base of independent tire retailers to participate in a greater share of the growing Internet tire

100

market. We believe that TireBuyer.com^® complements and services our participating U.S. independent tire retailers by providing them access to a sales and marketing channel previously unavailable to them. In 2012, the TireBuyer.com^® site was re-launched on a newer, faster and more flexible platform, which has enhanced the overall consumer experience and resulted in increased traffic to the site.

Continue to Develop and Expand our Value-Added Services. Our Tire Pros^® franchise program enables us to deliver advertising and marketing support to tire retailers operating as Tire Pros^® franchisees. The Tire Pros^® franchise program allows participating local tire retailers to enjoy the benefits of a national brand identity with minimal investment, while still maintaining their local identities. In return, we benefit from increasing volume penetration among, and further aligning ourselves with, our franchisees. We are focused on continuing to upgrade and improve the Tire Pros^® franchise program and seek opportunities to develop similar programs in the future. In addition, individual manufacturers offer a variety of relatively complex programs for tire retailers that sell their products, providing cooperative advertising funds, volume discounts and other incentives. As part of our service to our customers, we assist them in managing the administration of these programs through dedicated staff. We believe these enhancements, combined with other aspects of our customer service, provide significant value to our customers.

Selectively Pursue Acquisitions. We expect to continue to employ a selective acquisition strategy to increase our share in the markets we currently service as well as to expand our distribution into new markets, utilizing our scale in an effort to realize significant synergies. Over the past six years we have successfully acquired and integrated nine businesses representing, in the aggregate, over $850 million in annual revenue through 2013, and on a pro forma basis, including our recently completed acquisitions of Hercules and Terry’s Tire, the 2013 annual revenue of businesses acquired is over $2 billion in the aggregate. We believe our position as the largest distributor of replacement tires in North America, combined with our access to capital and our scalable platform, has allowed us to make acquisitions at very attractive post-synergy valuations.

Leverage Our Infrastructure in Existing Markets. Through infrastructure expansions over the past several years in the United States, we have developed a scalable platform with available incremental distribution capacity. Our distribution infrastructure enables us to efficiently add new customers, such as corporate accounts, and service growing channels, such as automotive dealerships, thereby increasing profitability by leveraging the utilization of our existing assets. We expect to complete the implementation of a similar platform in Canada near the beginning of 2015. We believe our relative penetration in existing markets is largely a function of the services we offer and the length of time we have operated locally. Specifically, in new geographic markets, we have experienced growth in market share over time, and in markets that we have served the longest, we generally have market share well in excess of our national average.

Utilize Technology Platform to Continue to Increase Distribution Efficiency. We intend to continue to invest in our inventory and warehouse management systems and logistics technology in order to further increase our efficiency and profit margins and improve customer service. For example, we operate on our Oracle ERP platform in the United States and are in the process of implementing it in Canada. We continue to evaluate and incorporate technical solutions including utilization of handheld scanning for receiving, picking and delivery of products to our customers. We believe these increased efficiencies will continue to enhance our reputation with our customers for providing timely service, while also reducing costs. Additionally, we continue to roll out customized electronic solutions and POS system integration for our larger customers.

Maintain a Comprehensive and Deep Tire Portfolio to Meet Our Customers’ Needs. We provide a wide range of products covering a broad range of price points, from entry-level imported products to offerings in the faster-growing high-performance tire market, through a full suite of flag, associate and proprietary brand tires. We acquired the Hercules^® brand in January 2014 and intend to further expand its market presence throughout North America. We intend to continue to focus on high-performance tires, given the growth in demand for such tires,

101

while maintaining our emphasis on providing broad and entry level tire offerings. Our comprehensive tire portfolio is designed to satisfy all of our customers’ needs and allow us to become the supplier of choice, thereby increasing customer penetration and retention across all channels.

Products

We provide our customers with a comprehensive portfolio of tires, tire supplies and tools as well as custom wheels and accessories. During 2013, tire sales accounted for 97.4% of our net sales. Tire supplies, tools and custom wheels and accessories represented approximately 2.6% of our net sales.

Tires

We sell a broad selection of replacement tires, from well-known flag brands, which typically carry a premium price and profit per tire, to entry-level imported brands. We believe our ability to offer tires across multiple industry tiers provides us with a competitive advantage by enabling us to service a broad range of price points in the replacement tire market. Sales of passenger and light truck tires accounted for 82.3% of our net sales in fiscal 2013. The remainder of our tire sales was for medium trucks, farm vehicles and other specialty tires.

Flag brands. Flag brands, which have the greatest brand recognition as a result of both strong sales and strong marketing support from tire manufacturers, are generally premium-quality and premium-priced offerings. The flag brands we sell have high consumer recognition and generate higher per-tire profit than associate or proprietary brands. We carry the flag brands from each of the four largest tire manufacturers—Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear and Michelin—as well as the Cooper, Hankook, Kumho, Nexen, Nitto and Pirelli brands. Within our flag brand product portfolio, we also carry high-performance tires.

Associate brands. Associate brands are primarily lower-priced tires manufactured by well-known manufacturers offered under different brand names. Our associate brands, such as Fuzion^®, allow us to offer tires in a wider price range. In addition, associate brands are attractive to our tire retailer customers as they are regularly subject to incentive programs offered by tire manufacturers.

Proprietary and exclusive brands. Through our acquisition of Hercules, we own and market our proprietary Hercules^® brand, the number one private brand in North America in 2013 based on unit sales. The Hercules^® brand includes a full line of tires for passenger cars as well as light and medium trucks. Additionally, our Capitol^® and Ironman^® brands are lower-priced tires made by tire manufacturers exclusively for, and marketed by, us. These brands, in which we hold or control the trademark, strengthen our entry-level priced product offering and allow us to sell value-oriented tires to tire retailers, increasing our overall market penetration.

Entry level imported brands. Entry level imported brands are exclusively lower-priced tires manufactured offshore, and predominately by Asia-based manufacturers. Our entry level imported brands allow us to offer tires in a wider price range including opening price point products.

Custom Wheels and Accessories

Custom wheels directly complement our tire products as many custom wheel consumers purchase tires when purchasing wheels. Customers can order custom wheels and accessories from us separately or in addition to their regular tire orders without the added complexity of being serviced by an additional vendor. We offer over 25 different wheel brands, along with installation and service accessories. Of these brands, five are proprietary: ICW^® Racing, Pacer^®, Drifz^®, Cruiser Alloy^® and O.E. Performance^®. Other nationally available brands that complement our offering include: Gear Alloy, Motiv LuxuryAlloys, TIS (Twenty Inches Strong) and Dropstars, which also includes Monster Energy Edition wheel styles, Advanti Racing, Black Rock, BMF, Cragar, Dick Cepek, Fondmetal, Focal, Platinum, Lexani, Mickey Thompson, Mamba, Konig and Ultra Wheel. Collectively, these brands represent one of the most comprehensive wheel offerings in the industry. Sourcing of product is worldwide through a number of manufacturers.

102

Tire Supplies and Tools

We supply our customers with a wide array of tire supplies and tools which enable them to better service their customers as well as help them become more profitable businesses. Our tire supplies and tools are the most popular brand names from leading manufacturers. These products broaden our portfolio and leverage our customer relationships.

Customers

We serve a highly diversified customer base comprised of local, regional and national independent tire retailers, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, tire manufacturer-owned stores, automotive dealerships and web-based marketers. We sell to approximately 80,000 customers (approximately 73,000 in the U.S. and 7,000 in Canada). In fiscal 2013, our largest customer and our top ten customers accounted for less than 3.1% and 10.9%, respectively, of our net sales. We believe we are a top supplier to many of our customers and maintain relationships with our top 20 customers that exceed a decade on average.

Suppliers

We purchase our tires from several sources, including the four largest tire manufacturers, Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear and Michelin, from whom we bought 58.6% of our tire products in fiscal 2013. In general, we do not have long-term supply agreements with tire manufacturers, instead relying on oral arrangements or written agreements that are renegotiated annually and can be terminated on short notice. However, we have conducted business with our major tire suppliers for an average of over 20 years, and we believe that we have good relationships with all of our major suppliers. In recent years, tire manufacturers have reduced the number of tire retailers they service directly. As a result of this change, tire retailers have increasingly relied on us, and we have become a more critical link between manufacturers and tire retailers.

There are a number of worldwide manufacturers of wheels and other automotive products. Most of the wheels we purchase are proprietary brands, namely, Pacer^®, Cruiser Alloy^®, Drifz^®, O.E. Performance^® and ICW^® Racing, and are produced by a variety of manufacturers.

Distribution System

We have designed our distribution system to deliver products from a wide variety of tire manufacturers to our tire retailer customers. In recent years, we believe tire manufacturers have reduced the number of tire retailers they service directly and tire retailers have reduced the inventory they hold. At the same time, the depth and breadth of replacement SKUs has continued to expand. As a result of these changes, tire retailers have increasingly relied on us and we have become a more critical link in enabling tire retailers to more efficiently manage their business.

We utilize a sophisticated inventory and delivery system to distribute our products to most customers on a same or next day basis. In our U.S. distribution centers, we use sophisticated bin locator systems, material handling equipment and routing software that link customer orders to our inventory and delivery routes. We believe this distribution system, which is integrated with our proprietary business-to-business ATDOnline^® ordering and reporting system, provides us a competitive advantage by allowing us to ship customer orders quickly and efficiently while also reducing labor costs. Our logistics and routing technology uses third-party software packages and GPS systems, including dynamic routing and Roadnet 5000, to optimize route design and delivery capacity. Coupled with our fleet of approximately 1,000 delivery vehicles, this technology enables us to cost effectively make multiple daily or weekly shipments to customers as necessary.

Approximately 80% of our U.S. tire purchases are shipped directly by tire manufacturers to our U.S. distribution centers. The remainder is shipped by manufacturers to our redistribution centers located in Maiden, North Carolina and Bakersfield, California and we have begun to roll out these technologies in Findley, Ohio. These redistribution centers warehouse slower-moving and foreign-manufactured products, which are forwarded to our U.S. distribution centers as needed.

103

Information Systems

Through infrastructure expansions over the past several years, we have developed a scalable platform with incremental capacity available. We are currently completing the U.S. implementation of an Oracle ERP system that supports future growth and ongoing cost reduction initiatives, including warehouse and truck management systems, which we believe will allow us to continue reducing warehouse and delivery costs per unit. The ERP implementation, which is nearing completion in the United States, has largely replaced our legacy computer system. We continue to implement technical solutions across the United States including handheld scanning for receiving, picking and delivery of product to our customers. In addition, we are preparing to implement a similar Oracle ERP platform in Canada near the beginning of 2015. Additionally, we continue to roll out customized electronic solutions and POS system integration for our larger customers.

Inventory Control

We believe that we maintain levels of inventory that are adequate to meet our customers’ needs on a same day or next day basis. Since customers look to us to fulfill their needs on short notice, inventory levels are a primary focus of our business model. As a result, backlog of orders is not considered material to, or a significant factor in, evaluating and understanding our business. Our inventory levels are determined using sales data derived from distribution centers (on a combined basis, an individual basis or by geographic region) as well as from vendors who supply the distribution centers and retail customer stores that are served by the distribution centers. All distribution centers stock a base inventory and may expand beyond preset inventory levels as deemed appropriate by their general managers. Computer systems monitor inventory levels for all stock items and quantities are periodically re-balanced from center-to-center.

Marketing and Customer Service

Our marketing efforts are focused on driving growth through customer service, additional product placement and market expansion. We provide a range of services which enable our tire retailer customers to operate their businesses more profitably. These services include frequent and timely delivery of inventory, as well as fundamental business support services, such as administration of tire manufacturer affiliate programs and credit, training and access to consumer market data, which enable our tire retailer customers to better service their individual markets. In addition, we provide our U.S. customers with an online web portal with convenient 24/7 access to our inventory, an Internet site that allows our U.S. tire retailer customers to participate in the Internet marketing of tires to customers as well as a franchise program in the United States where we deliver advertising and marketing support to our tire retailer customers.

Sales Force

We have structured our sales organization to best serve our existing customers and develop new prospective customers such as automotive dealerships. As the manufacturers have reduced their own sales staffs, our sales force has assumed the consultative role manufacturers previously provided to tire retailers. Our tire sales force consists of sales personnel at each distribution center plus a sales administrative team located at our field support center in Huntersville, North Carolina.

Sales teams, consisting of salespeople and customer service representatives, focus on tire retailers located within the service area of the distribution center and include a combination of tire-, wheel- and supplies-focused sales personnel. Some sales personnel visit targeted customers to advance our business opportunities and those of our customers, while other sales personnel remain at our facility, making client contact by telephone to advance specific products or programs. Customer service representatives manage incoming calls from customers and provide assistance with order placement, inventory inquiries and general customer support.

The Huntersville-based sales administrative team directs sales personnel at the distribution centers and manages our corporate account customers, including large national and regional retail tire and service companies. This team also manages our Huntersville-based call center, which provides call management assistance to the

104

U.S. distribution centers during peak times of the day, thereby minimizing customer wait time, and also provides support upon any disruption in a distribution center’s local telephone service. They also serve as the primary point of contact for product and technical inquiries from TireBuyer.com^® shoppers.

Automotive dealerships are focused on growing their service business in an effort to expand profitability, and we believe they view having replacement tire capabilities as an important service element. Between 1990 and 2013, U.S. automotive dealerships enjoyed a large increase in market share according to Modern Tire Dealer, moving from 1% of the U.S. replacement tire market to 7.5% of the market. Over the past few years we have steadily trained and deployed sales personnel to help build our sales at these accounts. We continue to invest and focus resources in this channel to strengthen and expand our relationships with the automobile manufacturers and further grow our share of tire sales to their dealerships.

Our aftermarket wheel sales group employs sales and technical support personnel in the field and performance specialists in each region. The responsibilities of this sales group include cultivating new prospective wheel and supplies customers as well as coordinating with tire sales professionals to cover existing accounts. The technical support professionals provide answers to customer questions regarding wheel style and fitment and supplies.

Tire Retailer Programs

Through our Tire Pros^® franchise program we deliver advertising and marketing support to U.S. tire retailer customers operating as Tire Pros^® franchisees. U.S. independent tire retailers participating in this franchise program enjoy the benefits of a national brand identity with minimal investment, while still maintaining their local identity. We anticipate increasing volume penetration among, and further aligning ourselves with, franchisees.

Individual manufacturers offer a variety of programs for tire retailers that sell their products, such as Bridgestone’s Affiliated Retailer Network, Continental’s Gold, Goodyear’s G³X, Kumho’s Fuel and Michelin’s Alliance. These programs, which are relatively complex, provide cooperative advertising funds, volume discounts and other incentives. As part of our service to our customers, we assist in the administration of these programs for the manufacturers and enhance these programs through dedicated staff to assist tire retailers in managing their participation. We believe these enhancements, combined with other aspects of our customer service, provide significant value to our customers.

We also offer our U.S. tire retailer customers ATDServiceBAY^®, which makes available a comprehensive suite of benefits including nationwide tire and service warranties (through third-party warranty providers), a nationally accepted, private-label credit card (through GE Money), access to consumer market data and training and marketing programs to provide our tire retailer customers with the support and service that are critical to succeed in today’s increasingly competitive marketplace.

Order Fulfillment

ATDOnline^® provides our U.S. customers with web-based online ordering and 24/7 access to our inventory availability and pricing. Orders are processed automatically and printed in the appropriate distribution center within minutes of entry through ATDOnline^®. Our customers are able to track expected deliveries and retrieve copies of their signed delivery receipts. ATDOnline^® also allows customers to track account balances and participate in tire manufacturer incentive programs. As a key element of our order fulfillment strategy, ATDOnline provides an a robust solution for order-tracking, logistics management, distribution, installation and payment services. We encourage our customers to use this system because it represents a more efficient method of order entry and information access than traditional order systems. In fiscal 2013, approximately 65% of our total order volume was ordered through ATDOnline^®, up from 56% in fiscal 2007. In 2014, we updated this site to provide a more modern platform with many upgrades and capabilities.

105

TireBuyer.com^® is our Internet site that enables our U.S. independent tire retailer customers to connect with consumers. Consumers using TireBuyer.com^® purchase products from us and then select a qualified independent tire retailer participating in our TireBuyer.com^® program for installation of their tires or wheels. We then deliver the purchased products to the selected tire retailer for local installation. The tire retailer charges the consumer for the installation costs upon product installation. We employ a third-party provider to handle the online billing and payment process. We do not handle customers’ credit card or other sensitive information.

We account for revenues from TireBuyer.com^® in the same manner as other orders received from tire retailer customers. The TireBuyer.com^® transaction structure allows us to retain our distribution focus, while strengthening our relationship with our tire retailer customers by providing them access to a sales and marketing channel previously unavailable to them. In 2012, the TireBuyer.com^® site was re-launched on a newer, faster and more flexible platform, which has enhanced the overall consumer experience and resulted in increased traffic to the site.

Trademarks

The proprietary brand names under which we market our products are trademarks of our company. We value our brand names because they help develop brand identification. All of our trademarks are of perpetual duration as long as they are periodically renewed. We currently intend to maintain all of them in force. The principal proprietary brand names under which we market our products are: HERCULES^® tires, IRONMAN^® tires, CAPITOL^® tires, NEGOTIATOR^® tires, REGUL^® tires, DYNATRAC^® tires, CRUISERALLOY^® custom wheels, DRIFZ^® custom wheels, ICW^® custom wheels, PACER^® custom wheels and O.E.

Our other trademarks include: AMERICAN TIRE DISTRIBUTORS^®, ATD^®, TRICAN TIRE DISTRIBUTORS INC^®, REGIONAL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS^®, ATDONLINE^®, ATDSERVICEBAY^®, TIREBUYER.COM^® and TIRE PROS^®.

Competition

The U.S. and Canadian tire distribution industry is highly competitive and fragmented. In these markets, replacement tires are sold to consumers through several different market channels, including local, regional and national independent tire retailers, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, tire manufacturer-owned stores, automotive dealerships and web-based marketers. We compete with a number of tire distributors on a regional basis.

Our main competitors include TBC/Treadways Wholesale (owned by Sumitomo), which has retail operations that compete with its distribution customers, and TCI Tire Centers (owned by Michelin). In the automotive dealership channel, our principal competitor is Dealer Tire, which is focused principally on administering replacement tire programs for selected automobile manufacturers’ dealerships. In the online channel, our principal competitor is Tire Rack, which is principally focused on high-performance offerings, acting as both a retailer and a wholesaler.

Seasonality

Although the effects of seasonality in the United States are not significant to our business, we have historically experienced an increase in net sales in the second and third fiscal quarters and an increase in working capital in the first fiscal quarter. In Canada, however, as a result of the winter driving season we recognize a larger percentage of sales and EBITDA during the second half of the year.

Environmental Matters

Our operations and properties are subject to federal, state, foreign and local laws and regulations relating to the use, storage, handling, generation, transportation, treatment, emission, release, discharge and disposal of hazardous materials, substances and waste as well as relating to the investigation and clean-up of contaminated

106

properties, including off-site disposal locations. We do not incur significant costs complying with environmental laws and regulations. However, we could be subject to material environmental costs, liabilities or claims in the future, especially in the event of the adoption of new environmental laws or changes in existing laws and regulations or in their interpretation.

Employees

As of December 28, 2013, our operations employed approximately 3,800 people, approximately 3,400 of which are located in the United States and the balance located within our Canadian distribution centers. None of our employees are represented by a union. We believe our employee relations are satisfactory.

Properties

Our principal properties are geographically situated to meet sales and operating requirements. We believe that our properties have been well maintained, are generally in good condition and are suitable for the conduct of our business. As of July 5, 2014, we operated 124 distribution centers located in 43 states in the United States and 26 distribution centers in Canada, aggregating approximately 15.3 million square feet. We expect some of the distribution centers acquired in our recent acquisitions to be closed as part of the integration process. Of these centers, two are owned by us and the remaining properties are leased. We also lease our principal executive office, located in Huntersville, North Carolina. This lease is scheduled to expire in 2022. In addition, we have some non-essential properties which we are attempting to sell or sublease.

Several of our property leases contain provisions prohibiting a change of control of the lessee or permitting the landlord to terminate the lease or increase rent upon a change of control of the lessee. Based primarily upon our belief that (i) we maintain good relations with the substantial majority of our landlords, (ii) most of our leases are at market rates and (iii) we have historically been able to secure suitable leased property at market rates when needed, we believe that these provisions will not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial position.

Legal Proceedings

We are involved from time to time in various lawsuits, including class action lawsuits arising out of the ordinary conduct of our business. Although no assurances can be given, we do not expect that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. We are also involved in various litigation proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of our business. We believe, based on consultation with legal counsel, that none of these will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Board Composition and Director Independence

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of the board of directors. Our board currently consists of seven directors and the TPG Funds have the right to nominate, and have nominated, all of the directors that serve on the board. Currently, our directors serve for terms of one year, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Our certificate of incorporation that will be in effect upon closing of this offering provides that our board of directors shall consist of at least three directors but not more than 15 directors and that

110

the number of directors may be fixed from time to time by resolution of our board of directors. Under the amended and restated stockholders agreement described below, we have agreed to take necessary action to maintain the size of the board of directors at no greater than                     directors, subject to applicable laws and regulations. Our board of directors will be divided into three classes, as follows:

• Class I, which will initially consist of                     , whose terms will expire at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2015;

• Class II, which will initially consist of                     , whose terms will expire at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2016; and

• Class III, which will initially consist of                     , whose terms will expire at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2017.

Upon the expiration of the initial term of office for each class of directors, each director in such class shall be elected for a term of three years and serve until a successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors or a vacancy may be filled by the directors then in office.

We anticipate that an additional director who is not affiliated with us or any of our stockholders and is independent under the rules of the NYSE will be appointed to the board of directors prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

In connection with this offering, we will enter into an amended and restated stockholders agreement with the TPG Funds governing their nomination rights with respect to our board of directors following this offering. Under the agreement, we are required to take all necessary action to cause the board of directors to include individuals designated by the TPG Funds in the slate of nominees recommended by the board of directors for election by our stockholders, as follows:

• for so long as the TPG Funds own at least 50% of the shares of our common stock held by them following the closing of this offering, they will be entitled to designate five individuals for nomination to serve on our board of directors;

• when the TPG Funds own less than 50% but at least 10% of the shares of our common stock held by them following the closing of this offering, they will be entitled to designate three individuals for nomination;

• when the TPG Funds own less than 10% but at least 5% of the shares of our common stock held by them following the closing of this offering, they will be entitled to designate two individuals for nomination; and

• when the TPG Funds own less than 5% but at least 3% of the shares of our common stock held by them following the closing of this offering, they will be entitled to designate one individual for nomination.

The TPG Funds will have also have the exclusive right to remove their designees and to fill vacancies created by the removal or resignation of their designees, and we are required to take all necessary action to cause such removals and fill such vacancies at the request of the TPG Funds.

Following the completion of this offering, we expect to be a “controlled company” under the rules of the NYSE because more than 50% of our outstanding voting power will be held by the TPG Funds. See “Principal and Selling Stockholders.” We intend to rely upon the “controlled company” exception relating to the board of directors and committee independence requirements under the rules of the NYSE. Pursuant to this exception, we will be exempt from the rules that would otherwise require that our board of directors consist of a majority of independent directors and that our compensation committee and nominating and governance committee be composed entirely of

111

independent directors. The “controlled company” exception does not modify the independence requirements for the audit committee, and we intend to comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules of the NYSE, which require that our audit committee have at least one independent director upon consummation of this offering, consist of a majority of independent directors within 90 days following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and exclusively of independent directors within one year following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Our board of directors has determined that             is an independent director under the rules of the NYSE.

• performing an evaluation of the performance of the committee; and

• overseeing the evaluation of the board of directors and management.

Director Experience and Qualifications

The Board of Directors believes that each director should possess a combination of skills, professional experience, and diversity of viewpoints necessary to oversee our business. In addition, it believes that there are certain attributes that every director should possess, as reflected in its membership criteria. Accordingly, the Board of Directors considers the qualifications of directors and director candidates individually and in the broader context of its overall composition and our current and future needs.

Among other things, the Board of Directors has determined that it is important to have individuals with the following skills and experiences:

• leadership experience, as directors with experience in significant leadership positions possess strong abilities to motivate and manage others and to identify and develop leadership qualities in others;

114

• knowledge of our industry, particularly distribution strategy and vendor and customer relations, which is relevant to understanding our business and strategy;

• operations experience, as it gives directors a practical understanding of developing, implementing and assessing our business strategy and operating plan;

• risk management experience, which is relevant to oversight of the risks facing our business;

• financial/accounting experience, particularly knowledge of finance and financial reporting processes, which is relevant to understanding and evaluating our capital structure, financial statements and reporting requirements; and

• strategic planning experience, which is relevant to the Board of Director’s review of our strategies and monitoring their implementation and results.

Board Oversight of Risk Management

While the full board of directors has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process, its committees oversee risk in certain specified areas. In particular, our audit committee oversees management of enterprise risks as well as financial risks. Our compensation committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements and the incentives created by the compensation awards it administers. Our nominating and corporate governance committee oversees risks associated with corporate governance, business conduct and ethics, and is responsible for overseeing the review and approval of related party transactions. Pursuant to the board of directors’ instruction, management regularly reports on applicable risks to the relevant committee or the full board of directors, as appropriate, with additional review or reporting on risks conducted as needed or as requested by the board of directors and its committees.

Code of Conduct

We have adopted a code of conduct that applies to all of our employees, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. In connection with this offering, we will make our code of conduct available on our website. We intend to disclose any amendments to our codes, or any waivers of their requirements, on our website.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This discussion and analysis of our compensation program for our named executive officers should be read in conjunction with the accompanying tables below and text disclosing the compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our named executive officers.

This section provides an analysis of our executive compensation program, the material compensation decisions made under this program during fiscal 2013, and the material factors considered in making those decisions during fiscal 2013. This section is followed by a series of tables containing specific information about the compensation earned in fiscal 2013 by the following individuals, referred to as our named executive officers:

William E. Berry, President and Chief Executive Officer;

Jason T. Yaudes, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer;

J. Michael Gaither, Executive Vice President and General Counsel;

David L. Dyckman, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer; and

Phillip E. Marrett, Executive Vice President, Product Planning and Positioning⁽¹⁾.

(1) Mr. Marrett will cease to be our Executive Vice President, Product Planning and Positioning as of July 31, 2014 and will serve as a consultant to us through the end of 2014.

Decision-making Responsibility

Decisions regarding the compensation of our named executive officers are made by our board of directors, after taking into account recommendations from management regarding compensation opportunities for the fiscal year, as further described below.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The overall goal of our board of directors in compensating our executive officers is to attract, retain and motivate key executives of superior ability who are critical to our future success. Our board of directors believes that both the short-term and long-term incentive compensation paid to our named executive officers should be directly aligned with our performance, and that compensation should be structured to ensure that a significant portion of our named executive officers’ compensation opportunities is directly related to the achievement of financial and operational goals and other factors that impact stockholder value.

The compensation decisions of our board of directors with respect to our named executive officers’ salaries, annual incentives and long-term incentive compensation awards are influenced by the executive’s level of responsibility and function, our overall performance and profitability and our board’s assessment of the competitive marketplace (as determined based on our board members’ business experience). Our board of directors also takes into account each named executive officer’s tenure and individual performance, our overall annual budget, and changes in the cost of living.

Our executive compensation package consists of base salary, target annual bonus, and long-term incentives, as well as additional benefits and perquisites. We have no set policy for allocating pay between the various elements of compensation and instead evaluate our named executive officers’ compensation opportunities on a case-by-case basis after taking into account the factors described above. To achieve competitive positioning for the annual cash compensation component of our executive compensation program,

116

our board of directors sets base salaries at a level it believes to be competitive but places more emphasis on annual bonus opportunities because they are more directly linked to our performance. Thus, our compensation is focused less on fixed pay and more on performance-based opportunities, while still intending to remain competitive overall. Targeted annual cash bonus opportunities are based on, among other things, our budgeted financial goals and other factors, which may fluctuate from year to year.

Our board of directors also believes that the best way to directly align the interests of our executives with the interests of our stockholders is to provide opportunities for our executives to maintain an appropriate level of equity ownership throughout their tenure with us. Our compensation program achieves this objective through our use of equity-based long-term incentive awards.

Our executive compensation program is continually evaluated for effectiveness in achieving the stated objectives of our board of directors as well as to reflect the economic environment within which we operate.

Overview of Executive Compensation Components

In fiscal 2013, our executive compensation program consisted of several compensation elements, as noted in the table below and as further described below.

Pay Element	What the Pay Element Rewards	Purpose of the Pay Element
Base Salary	Core competence of the executive relative to skills, experience and contributions to us.	Provides fixed compensation based on competitive market practice.
Annual Cash Incentive	Contributions toward our achievement of specified financial targets and other key performance criteria.	Provides focus on meeting annual goals that lead to our short- and long-term success.
Stock Options	Appreciation in the value of our shares after the stock options are granted. Achievement of specified financial targets. Retention and continued contributions to our success.	Provides focus on our performance as follows: •   aligns the interests of our executives with the interests of our stockholders; •   rewards the achievement of performance goals (for performance-based options); and •   encourages retention of our named executive officers with vesting schedules that apply to our time- and performance-based options.
Retirement Benefits	Participation in our 401(k) plan and our nonqualified deferred compensation plan incentivizes employee retirement savings and continued service to the Company.	Provides attractive tax-deferred retirement savings vehicles for eligible executives and promotes retention of our executives over a longer-term time horizon.

117

Pay Element	What the Pay Element Rewards	Purpose of the Pay Element
Welfare Benefits	Executives participate in employee benefit plans generally available to our employees, including medical, health, life insurance and disability plans.	These benefits are part of our broad-based total compensation program.
	Certain named executive officers are also provided with supplemental health benefits, which reward executives for their service in leadership roles.	Encourages our executive officers to protect their health.
Additional Benefits and Perquisites	Certain named executive officers are reimbursed for club memberships and all our named executive officers are provided with a vehicle allowance. These benefits reward executives for their service in leadership roles.	Consistent with offering our executives a competitive compensation program.
Termination Benefits	Our named executive officers are parties to employment agreements that provide them with severance benefits if the named executive officer’s employment is terminated without cause or the officer leaves for good reason, each as defined in the agreements. These arrangements reward executives for their continued service to the Company and subject them to restrictive covenants that protect the Company’s interests.	Termination benefits are designed to retain executives and provide security for our named executive officers so their focus remains on driving the Company’s performance.

The use of these programs enables us to reinforce our pay for performance philosophy, as well as strengthen our ability to attract and retain highly qualified executives. We believe that this combination of programs provides an appropriate mix of fixed and variable pay, balances short-term operational performance with long-term stockholder value, and encourages executive recruitment and retention.

Elements of Compensation and Determination of Pay Levels

Base Salary

Historically, base salary levels have reflected a combination of factors including the executive’s experience and tenure, our overall annual budget, the executive’s individual performance, and changes in responsibility. Our board of directors does not target base salary at any particular percent of total compensation. Our board of directors reviews salary levels annually using the factors described above and takes into account salary recommendations made by our Chief Executive Officer and other senior members of management. In fiscal 2013, there were no base salary increases granted to our named executive officers that took effect in fiscal 2013. In December 2013, our board of directors approved an increase in Mr. Yaudes’ base salary from $350,000 to $400,000 that took effect on January 1, 2014 in recognition of Mr. Yaudes’ increased responsibilities and success in his role as our Chief Financial Officer.

118

Annual Incentive Plan

Our annual incentive plan provides our named executive officers with an opportunity to earn annual cash bonuses based on our achievement of certain pre-established performance goals.

As in setting base salaries, our board of directors, after taking into account recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer and other senior members of management, considers a combination of the factors described above in establishing the annual target bonus opportunities for our named executive officers, which vary from year to year. Budgeted EBITDA (as defined below) is the primary factor considered, as target bonus opportunities are adjusted annually when our board of directors sets our annual budget, which includes our Budgeted EBITDA goals, for the year. Budgeted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that refers to our net income or loss from our consolidated statements of comprehensive income before interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, which is then further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash, non-recurring, cost reduction and other adjustment items. Target bonus opportunities are defined as a percentage of the overall bonus pool, which is set as described below. We do not target annual bonus opportunities at any particular percentage of base salary or total compensation.

In December of each year, our board of directors sets a bonus pool for the following year for all executives covered by our annual incentive plan, the size of which is equal to a designated percentage of Budgeted EBITDA actually achieved by us. Budgeted EBITDA was selected as the performance metric for our annual incentive plan because we believe it is an important measure of our financial performance and our ability to create free cash flow. No bonus pool is funded if actual performance falls below 90% of the Budgeted EBITDA goal. The pool grows pro-rata for actual performance between 90% and 100% of the Budgeted EBITDA goal. Above 100% of the Budgeted EBITDA goal, the pool grows by approximately 20% of each incremental dollar. The bonus pool is divided among participants in our annual incentive plan based on each participant’s designated percentage of the bonus pool, as described above.

We set the Budgeted EBITDA goal for fiscal 2013 bonus opportunities at a level that was intended to reflect improvement in performance over the prior fiscal year, specific market conditions and better-than-average growth within our competitive industry. For fiscal 2013, the targeted bonus pool was $10.1 million, subject to adjustment, based upon a Budgeted EBITDA target of $214.8 million. The percentage of the targeted bonus pool designated for each named executive officer for fiscal 2013 was: Mr. Berry, 15.3%; Mr. Dyckman, 6.9%; and Messrs. Yaudes, Gaither and Marrett, 5.3% each. For fiscal 2013, we achieved 91.0% of the Budgeted EBITDA goal, which resulted in a total bonus pool paid of $5.6 million. The amount of the actual bonuses paid to our named executive officers for fiscal 2013 are included in the Summary Compensation Table under the heading “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.”

Stock Options

We provide our named executive officers with long-term incentive opportunities in the form of stock options. All outstanding stock options were granted under the ATD Corporation Management Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, which we refer to as the 2010 Plan.

Each of our named executive officers received a grant of stock options following the Sponsor’s acquisition of the Company in fiscal 2010 that was intended to cover a multi-year period and generally align the interests of our senior management team with those of the Sponsor. The sizes of those grants were determined by our board of directors based on its experience, after consultation with our Chief Executive Officer, taking into account the fact that they were intended to serve as incentives over a longer-term period. We do not make annual stock option grants to our named executive officers and have only made additional stock option grants to our named executive officers in limited circumstances.

119

In fiscal 2012, we granted additional stock options to Mr. Yaudes in connection with his promotion to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The size of this grant was determined by our board of directors and was intended to generally align Mr. Yaudes’ aggregate stock option holdings with those of our other Executive Vice Presidents.

In fiscal 2013, we made additional stock option grants to each of our named executive officers following the Sponsor’s purchase of additional common stock of the Company in connection with the acquisition of RTD (described above under the heading “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information”), which had resulted in the equity ownership of our named executive officers and other holders of our common stock being diluted. Our board of directors decided to make these grants so as to generally maintain the equity ownership levels of our named executive officers (on a fully diluted basis) before and after the additional equity purchase by the Sponsor.

Fifty percent of each stock option grant made to our named executive officers consists of time-based stock options and fifty percent of each stock option grant consists of performance-based options. The initial post-acquisition grants made in 2010 to our named executive officers were each eligible to vest over the five-year period following the closing of the acquisition on May 28, 2010. In order to maintain our named executive officers’ focus on maximizing our performance over that five-year period, subsequent grants to our named executive officers generally have had shorter vesting schedules that are aligned with the vesting schedule that applied to the initial post-acquisition grants. All time-based options granted to our named executive officers in fiscal 2013 vest in three equal installments, with the first installment having vested on May 28, 2013, the second installment having vested on May 28, 2014 and the last installment scheduled to vest on May 28, 2015, generally subject to the named executive officer remaining continuously employed by us through such vesting date. The time-based stock options granted to Mr. Yaudes in fiscal 2012 vest in equal installments on each of the first five anniversaries of May 28, 2012, generally subject to Mr. Yaudes remaining continuously employed by us through the applicable vesting date. The first two installments of Mr. Yaudes’ fiscal 2012 time-based stock options vested on May 28, 2013 and May 28, 2014, respectively.

For the initial post-acquisition grants, each performance-based option was eligible to vest in equal installments on each of the first five anniversaries following the closing of the acquisition if, as of the end of the most recent fiscal year ending on or prior to the applicable anniversary, we achieved the EBITDA target established for such fiscal year by the terms of the option at the time the option was granted. If the EBITDA target is not met for the relevant fiscal year, the performance-based option remains outstanding until terminated and immediately vests upon (i) except with respect to performance-based options eligible to vest as part of the final tranche subject to the grant, achievement of cumulative EBITDA targets for the fiscal year and the first fiscal year following that fiscal year or (ii) the occurrence of a liquidity event in which the Sponsor receives a cash return on its investment in us of at least 220%. As with the time-based options, subsequently granted performance-based options generally are eligible to vest over a shorter period that is aligned with the vesting schedule that applied to the initial post-acquisition grants. All performance-based options granted to our named executive officers in fiscal 2013 vest in three equal installments, with the first installment having vested on May 28, 2013 based on fiscal 2012 EBITDA, the second installment having failed to vest on May 28, 2014 due to our not having achieved the fiscal 2013 EBITDA target (but remaining eligible to vest as described below) and the last installment eligible to vest on May 28, 2015 based on fiscal 2014 EBITDA, generally subject to the named executive officer remaining continuously employed by us through such vesting date. The performance-based stock options granted to Mr. Yaudes in fiscal 2012 vest in five equal installments, with the first installment having vested on May 28, 2013 based on fiscal 2012 EBITDA, the second installment having failed to vest on May 28, 2014 due to our not having achieved the fiscal 2013 target (but remaining eligible to vest as described below) and the other installments eligible to vest based on fiscal 2014, 2015 and 2016 EBITDA, respectively, generally subject to Mr. Yaudes remaining employed by us through the relevant vesting date. Performance-based options granted in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013 to our named executive officers are also eligible to vest based on our two-year cumulative EBITDA or the cash return to the Sponsor in connection with a liquidity event on the same terms as described above.

120

Investment in the Company

Each of our named executive officers made a direct cash investment in our common stock shortly following the Sponsor’s acquisition of us. Offering our named executive officers the opportunity to invest in our common stock aligns their interests with the interests of our other stockholders, leads them to act as “employee owners” of our company and allows them to benefit from increases in value that they helped to create. The number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by each of named executive officers is described below under the heading “Principal and Selling Stockholders.”

Retirement Plans

Our named executive officers participate along with our other employees and/or other executives in our 401(k) plan and our nonqualified deferred compensation plan. Under our 401(k) plan, we make a matching contribution of 50% of employee contributions up to 6% of compensation, subject to certain limits under the Internal Revenue Code, and employees vest in Company matching contributions as to 20% of the amount of the contributions for each of their first five years of service.

Our deferred compensation plan is a nonqualified plan comprised of a voluntary deferral program that allows our named executive officers to defer a portion of their annual salary and bonus and a noncontributory program that provides for certain contributions to be made on behalf of certain executives by us according to a board-approved schedule. Our deferred compensation plan is described further below under the heading “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation for Fiscal 2013” and our contributions to this plan are included under that heading as well as in the Summary Compensation Table.

We believe that our retirement programs serve as an important tool to attract and retain our named executive officers and other key employees. We also believe that offering a baseline of stable retirement benefits encourages our named executive officers to make a long-term commitment to us. We do not adjust the level of retirement benefits based on the value of a named executive officer’s long-term incentive awards nor do we adjust the level of a named executive officer’s total direct compensation for a given year in light of the value of retirement benefits.

Severance and change in control arrangements

We provide severance protection to each of our named executive officers pursuant to their employment agreements. Certain limited change in control-related protections apply to stock options held by our named executive officers. Our severance and change in control protections are designed to be fair and competitive and to aid in attracting experienced executives, including our named executive officers. The terms of the severance and change in control protections we provide are described below under the heading “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Perquisites and Other Benefits

We provide vehicle allowances to each of our named executive officers and reimburse Messrs. Berry, Gaither and Dyckman for the cost of dues at country clubs. In addition, we sponsor an executive medical program for our executive officers, which provides for reimbursement to certain named executive officers and eligible dependents for medical expenses not covered by our group medical plan. Our board of directors believes that the costs of providing these perquisites and benefits are reasonable relative to their value to our named executive officers.

Tax Deductibility

Because our common stock is not currently publicly traded, executive compensation paid in fiscal 2013 was not subject to the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which limits the deductibility of compensation paid to certain individuals to $1 million, excluding qualifying performance-based compensation

121

and certain other compensation. Following this offering, at such time as we are subject to the deduction limitation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, we expect that our board of directors (or a newly formed compensation committee) will consider the impact of Section 162(m).

(1) Represents the minimum payments under our annual incentive plan if the threshold level of 90% of the Budgeted EBITDA target had been achieved during fiscal 2013.

123

(2) Represents payments under our annual incentive plan if 100% of the Budgeted EBITDA target had been achieved during fiscal 2013. In fiscal 2013, we achieved 91% of the Budgeted EBITDA target, exceeding the threshold level discussed in footnote (1) above but not meeting the target level of performance. Actual bonuses paid to our named executive officers are included in the Summary Compensation Table under the heading “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.”

(3) There is no limit on the maximum amount payable under our annual incentive plan.

(4) Represents the number of performance-based options granted to our named executive officers under the 2010 Plan in fiscal 2013. All performance-based options granted to our named executive officers in fiscal 2013 vest in three equal installments, with the first installment having vested on May 28, 2013 based on fiscal 2012 EBITDA, the second installment having failed to vest on May 28, 2014 due to our not having achieved the fiscal 2013 EBITDA target (but remaining eligible to vest as described below) and the last installment eligible to vest on May 28, 2015 based on fiscal 2014 EBITDA, generally subject to the named executive officer remaining continuously employed by us through such vesting date. If the EBITDA target is not met for fiscal 2014, the performance-based option remains outstanding until terminated and immediately vests upon the occurrence of a liquidity event in which the Sponsor receives a cash return on its investment in us of at least 220%, generally subject to the named executive officer remaining employed by us through the vesting date. Because the EBITDA target was not met for fiscal 2013, performance-based options eligible to vest based on fiscal 2013 EBITDA, to the extent they remain outstanding, are eligible to vest based upon achievement of a cumulative EBITDA target for fiscal years 2013 and 2014.

(5) Represents the number of time-based options granted to our named executive officers under the 2010 Plan in fiscal 2013. All time-based options granted to our named executive officers in fiscal 2013 vest in three equal installments, with the first installment having vested on May 28, 2013, the second installment having vested on May 28, 2014 and the last installment scheduled to vest on May 28, 2015, generally subject to the named executive officer remaining continuously employed by us through such vesting date.

(6) Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of option awards granted during the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. The fair value of the options was calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. For a discussion of the assumptions used in the valuation, see Note 12 in our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table

We are a party to an employment agreement with each of our named executive officers. The term of each agreement will continue until the named executive officer’s termination of employment, unless the parties otherwise agree to terminate the agreement. Each agreement sets forth the named executive officer’s initial base salary, which has been subsequently increased prior to fiscal 2013 (except in the case of Mr. Yaudes, whose base salary of $350,000 was set in his employment agreement dated January 23, 2012 and remained in effect during fiscal 2013) and provides that the named executive officer is entitled to an annual performance-based cash bonus on such terms as are determined by our board of directors and is entitled to participate in the benefit plans maintained by the Company and made available to all executive officers.

The agreements with Messrs. Berry, Yaudes and Gaither require us to provide the named executive officer with a monthly car allowance ($1,600 per month for Mr. Berry, $1,200 per month for Mr. Yaudes and $1,400 per month for Mr. Gaither) and, for Messrs. Berry and Gaither, also require us to reimburse them for club membership dues of up to $500 per month.

For a description of the payments and benefits our named executive officers may be entitled to in connection with a termination of employment and/or a change in control and a description of the restrictive covenants covering our named executive officers, see “—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.”

(1) Represents the number of unvested and unexercised time-based options held by our named executive officers as of December 28, 2013. The time-based options expiring on August 30, 2020 vest in equal installments on each of the first five anniversaries of May 28, 2010; as of the end of fiscal 2013, 40% of each grant had not yet vested. Mr. Yaudes’ time-based options expiring on January 23, 2022 vest in equal installments on each of the first five anniversaries of May 28, 2012; as of the end of fiscal 2013, 80% of Mr. Yaudes’ grant had not yet vested. Except as described below, the time-based options expiring on February 15, 2023 vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of May 28, 2012; as of the end of fiscal 2013, 66.6% of each grant had not yet vested. Of Mr. Yaudes’ time-based options that expire on February 15, 2023, 37,236 are subject to the vesting terms described in the immediately preceding sentence. The remaining 57,463 time-based options vest in equal installments on each of the first five anniversaries of May 28, 2012; as of the end of fiscal 2013, 80% of the grant had not yet vested. In each case, the vesting of options generally is contingent on the named executive officer remaining continuously employed by us through the applicable vesting date.

(2) Represents the number of unearned and unexercised performance-based options held by our named executive officers as of December 28, 2013. The performance-based options expiring on August 30, 2020 vest in equal installments on each of the first five anniversaries of May 28, 2010, provided that we have met the EBITDA target established for the preceding fiscal year; as of the end of fiscal 2013, 40% of each grant had not yet vested. Mr. Yaudes’ performance-based options expiring on January 23, 2022 vest in equal installments on each of the first five anniversaries of May 28, 2012, provided that we have met the EBITDA target established for the preceding fiscal year; as of the end of fiscal 2013, 80% of Mr. Yaudes’ grant had not yet vested. Except as described below, the performance-based options expiring on February 15, 2023 vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of May 28, 2012, provided that we have met the EBITDA target established for the preceding fiscal year; as of the end of fiscal 2013, 66.6% of each grant had not yet vested. Of Mr. Yaudes’ performance-based options that expire on February 15, 2023, 37,236 are subject to the vesting terms described in the immediately preceding sentence. The remaining 57,463 performance-based options vest in equal installments on each of the first five anniversaries of

125

May 28, 2012, provided that we have met the EBITDA target established for the preceding fiscal year; as of the end of fiscal 2013, 80% of the grant had not yet vested. With respect to each performance-based option, if the EBITDA target is not met for the relevant fiscal year, the performance-based option remains outstanding until terminated and immediately vests upon (i) except with respect to performance-based options eligible to vest as part of the final tranche subject to the grant, achievement of cumulative EBITDA targets for the relevant fiscal year and the first fiscal year following that fiscal year, or (ii) the occurrence of a liquidity event in which the Sponsor receives a cash return on its investment in us of at least 220%. In each case, the named executive officer generally must remain employed through the applicable vesting date in order for the applicable performance-based options to vest.

(3) The exercise price of all stock options is equal to 100% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date the options were granted, as determined by our board of directors after considering, among other things, the results of an independent third party valuation.

Option exercises and stock vested

None of our named executive officers exercised any stock options or became vested in any stock awards during our 2013 fiscal year.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation for Fiscal Year 2013

We sponsor a nonqualified deferred compensation plan in which all of our named executive officers are eligible to participate. Under the deferred compensation plan, a participant is permitted to defer up to 75% of his base salary and up to the full amount of his annual bonus, other performance-based compensation and any 401(k) plan refund. We may also make discretionary contributions to the deferred compensation plan on behalf of participants in an amount determined by our board of directors. In fiscal 2013, we continued our prior practice of making contributions to the plan on behalf of Messrs. Berry, Gaither and Marrett in the amounts shown below. Each participant’s elective deferrals under the plan are fully vested upon deferral; our contributions to the plan are only fully vested after a participant has provided five years of service to the Company, with 20% vesting on each of the first five anniversaries of the participant’s first day of service. Each participant may direct the investment of his account under the deferred compensation plan based on the investment alternatives available under the plan, which include a variety of equity, fixed income and other investment alternatives. A participant may receive a distribution upon his or her death, a separation from service, disability, a change in control event or an unforeseeable emergency. All distributions will be in the form of a lump sum, except that a participant may elect to receive distributions in installments over a period of up to five years in the event of his or her disability and, if a participant has attained either age 62 or age 55 with ten years of service, he or she may elect to receive distributions in installments over a period of up to ten years.

The following table sets forth information regarding our nonqualified deferred compensation plan, showing, with respect to each named executive officer, the aggregate contributions made by such executive officer, the aggregate contributions made by the Company, the aggregate earnings accrued and the aggregate value of withdrawals and distributions to the executive officer, in each case, during the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 and the balance of his account under this plan as of December 28, 2013.

(1) Amounts in this column are included in the amounts reported as “Salary” or “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal year 2013 for each of the named executive officers, depending on the type of compensation the named executive officer elected to defer.

(2) Amounts in this column reflect company contributions and are included in the Summary Compensation Table under the heading “All Other Compensation.”

(3) Earnings on balances in the nonqualified deferred compensation plan equal the rate of return on investments elected by each participant in the plan. These amounts are not included in the Summary Compensation Table because the earnings are credited at a market rate of return.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

Employment Agreements

As described above, we currently have employment agreements with each of our named executive officers.

We or the employee may terminate the applicable employment agreement at any time. Upon termination of employment for any reason, the named executive officer is entitled to receive a basic termination payment equal to his base salary earned through the date of termination and the previous year’s bonus to the extent earned. In the event of the termination of Mr. Berry’s employment for any reason other than cause, we have agreed to provide for the continued participation of him and his family in our health plan at our expense until the time he reaches age 65. In addition, if we terminate the employment of any of our named executive officers without “cause” or if the named executive officer resigns for “good reason” (each as defined in his employment agreement), he is entitled to the following severance payments and, in the case of Messrs. Yaudes, Gaither, Dyckman and Marrett, continuation of health benefits:

Mr. Berry is entitled to receive a monthly sum equal to his monthly base salary in effect at such time plus $25,000 for a period of two years (in addition to the health benefits that would be provided upon a termination for any reason other than a termination for cause).

127

Mr. Yaudes is entitled to receive: (i) a monthly sum equal to his monthly base salary in effect at such time for a period of 12 months and (ii) continuation of health benefits for a period of 12 months.

Mr. Gaither is entitled to receive: (i) a monthly sum equal to his monthly base salary in effect at such time plus $22,222.22 for a period of 18 months and (ii) continuation of health benefits for a period of 18 months.

Mr. Dyckman is entitled to receive: (i) a monthly sum equal to his monthly base salary in effect at such time plus $20,833.34 for a period of 12 months and (ii) continuation of health benefits for a period of 12 months.

Mr. Marrett is entitled to receive: (i) a monthly sum equal to his monthly base salary in effect at such time plus $19,583.33 for a period of 12 months and (ii) continuation of health benefits for a period of 12 months.

Each named executive officer has agreed to sign a release of claims in connection with a termination of employment. The employment agreements contain confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicit provisions. The non-compete and non-solicit provisions apply during the named executive officer’s employment and for a post-employment period equal to the following: Mr. Berry—24 months; Mr. Gaither—18 months; and Messrs. Yaudes, Dyckman and Marrett—12 months.

Stock Options

Under the 2010 Plan, if a named executive officer’s employment is terminated within two years of a change of control transaction either by us without cause or by the named executive officer for good reason, 100% of the named executive officer’s outstanding time-based options become immediately vested and exercisable. In addition, the option grant agreements for each of the named executive officers provide that in the event of termination by us without cause or by the named executive officer for good reason, whether following a change of control transaction or not, (i) any time-based options that would have vested within six months of termination will become immediately vested on the termination date; and (ii) any performance-based options that would have vested within six months of termination if the employee had continued to be employed will vest upon the date the applicable performance criteria are determined to have been achieved.

Payment Summary

The table below reflects the amount of compensation payable to each named executive officer in the event of termination of the executive’s employment for various reasons or a change in control. The table does not include amounts payable under the nonqualified deferred compensation plan, payments that would be made to a named executive officer under benefit plans or employment terms generally available to other salaried employees, such as group life or disability insurance, accrued but unpaid salary or payments under our annual incentive plan, which are earned if the named executive officer works through the end of the relevant fiscal year. The amounts shown assume that a termination of employment and/or a change in control occurred on December 28, 2013, the last day of our 2013 fiscal year.

(1) Amounts shown in “Acceleration of Time-Based Stock Options” above represent the aggregate spread on all unvested time-based options held by the named executive officer that were scheduled to vest within six months following December 28, 2013, assuming a fair market value on December 28, 2013 of $1.50 per share (as determined by our board of directors).

(2) Amounts shown in “Acceleration of Time-Based Stock Options” above represent the aggregate spread on all outstanding unvested time-based options held by the named executive officer on December 28, 2013, assuming a fair market value on December 28, 2013 of $1.50 per share (as determined by our board of directors). Because none of the outstanding performance-based options held by our named executive officers would have vested within six months following December 28, 2013 based on our fiscal 2013 EBITDA or would have vested had a change in control occurred on December 28, 2013 assuming the Sponsor had received a price per share of $1.50, for purposes of this table we have assumed that none of the named executive officers would have vested in his outstanding unvested performance-based options had a termination of employment or a change in control occurred on that date.

(3) In the event of the death or disability of a named executive officer, the named executive officer will receive benefits under our disability plan or payments under our life insurance plan, as appropriate. These payments are generally available to all employees and are therefore not included in the above table.

129

(4) Other than the performance-based options described above, which are eligible to vest if the Sponsor receives a certain return on its investment in us in connection with certain corporate transactions, we do not provide our named executive officers with severance or other payments that are payable on a change in control without an accompanying qualifying termination. If a named executive officer were terminated following a change in control, such officer would receive payments and benefits pursuant to the employment agreements and 2010 Plan and stock option agreements, in each case, as described above.

Compensation of Directors

For their service as members of our board of directors, each of James Farrell, Gary Kusin, James Micali, Carl Sewell, and David Krantz (the “Outside Directors”) receive an annual fee of $150,000 in cash, payable in quarterly installments. Upon their appointment to our board of directors, each of the Outside Directors also received a one-time grant of options under the 2010 Plan to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. These options vested in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. In October 2010, we adopted the ATD Corporation Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (the “Restricted Stock Plan”). Each Outside Director may receive, at the discretion of our board of directors, an annual grant under the Restricted Stock Plan of restricted shares of our common stock valued at $50,000, with vesting to occur in two equal installments on each of the first two anniversaries of the date of grant. For fiscal 2013, no restricted shares were granted to the Outside Directors. Each Outside Director also received a one-time opportunity to purchase up to $1,000,000 of our common stock, at a per share price equal to the fair market value on the date of purchase. The number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by each of directors is described below under the heading “Principal and Selling Stockholders.” These equity arrangements were entered into to further align our Outside Directors’ interests with the interests of our stockholders. The members of our board of directors other than the Outside Directors do not receive separate compensation for their service on our board of directors. Mr. Sewell resigned from the Board on July 10, 2013.

In connection with this offering, our board of directors intends to adopt a non-employee director compensation program under which our non-employee directors will be compensated following this offering.

The following table sets forth the compensation paid to our directors in fiscal 2013:

Name	Fees Earned or Paid in Cash ($)		Stock Awards(1)	Total ($)
James Farrell	$	150,000	—	$	150,000
Gary Kusin		150,000	—		150,000
James M. Micali		150,000	—		150,000

David Krantz		150,000	—		150,000
Kevin Burns		—	—		—
Peter McGoohan		—	—		—

(1) As of December 28, 2013, Messrs. Farrell, Kusin, Micali and Krantz each held 21,930 unvested shares of restricted stock and neither of our other directors held any other unvested stock awards. As at December 28, 2013, Messrs. Farrell, Kusin, Micali and Krantz each held 200,000 stock options, and neither of our other directors held any stock options.

(2) Mr. Sewell resigned from our board of directors on July 10, 2013.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Executive compensation and related decisions are made by our board of directors, which does not currently have a compensation committee.

Equity and Cash Incentive Plans

Fiscal 2014 Annual Incentive Plan

Our named executive officers are each entitled to participate in our annual incentive plan for fiscal 2014. The terms of our annual cash incentive plan for our 2014 fiscal year, including the performance metric used to determine plan funding, are substantially the same as the terms that applied for our 2013 fiscal year, as described above under “—Executive compensation—Elements of Compensation and Determination of Pay Levels—Annual Incentive Plan.” Each named executive officer’s percentage of the annual bonus pool for fiscal 2014 will remain the same as it was for fiscal 2013.

2014 Omnibus Plan

In connection with this offering, our board of directors intends to adopt the ATD Corporation 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the 2014 Omnibus Plan, and, following this offering, all equity-based awards will be granted under the 2014 Omnibus Plan. The following summary describes what we anticipate to be the material terms of the 2014 Omnibus Plan. This summary of the 2014 Omnibus Plan is not a complete description of all provisions of the 2014 Omnibus Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2014 Omnibus Plan, a form of which will be filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Administration. The 2014 Omnibus Plan is administered by our compensation committee. Our compensation committee has the authority to, among other things, interpret the 2014 Omnibus Plan, determine eligibility for, grant and determine the terms of awards under the 2014 Omnibus Plan, determine the form of settlement of awards (whether in cash, shares of our common stock or other property), and do all things necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of the 2014 Omnibus Plan. Our compensation committee’s determinations under the 2014 Omnibus Plan are conclusive and binding.

Eligibility. Our key employees, directors, consultants and advisors are eligible to participate in the 2014 Omnibus Plan.

Authorized Shares. Subject to adjustment, as described below, the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be delivered in satisfaction of awards under the 2014 Omnibus Plan is             shares. Any shares of common stock underlying awards that are settled in cash, expire or become unexercisable without having been exercised or that are forfeited or repurchased by us will again be available for issuance under the 2014 Omnibus Plan. In addition, the number of shares of our common stock delivered in satisfaction of awards will be determined net of shares of our common stock withheld by us in payment of the exercise price or purchase price of an award or in satisfaction of tax withholding requirements with respect to an award.

Individual Limits. The maximum number of shares of our common stock subject to stock options and the maximum number of shares of our common stock subject to stock appreciation rights, or SARs, that may be granted to any participant in the 2014 Omnibus Plan in any calendar year is each             shares. The maximum number of shares of our common stock subject to other awards that may be granted to any participant in the 2014 Omnibus Plan in any calendar year is             shares and the maximum amount payable to any participant in the 2014 Omnibus Plan in any calendar year under any cash awards is $            . In addition, in the case of a non-employee director, an additional limit applies such that the maximum grant-date fair value of stock-denominated awards, and the maximum amount of cash payable under any cash awards, granted under the 2014 Omnibus Plan in any fiscal year during any part of which the director is then eligible under such plan is, in each case, $            , except that such limit for a non-employee chairman of our board of directors or lead director is, in each case, $            .

Types of Awards. The 2014 Omnibus Plan provides for awards of stock options, SARs, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock units, performance awards, other awards convertible into or otherwise based on shares of our common stock and cash awards. Eligibility for stock options intended to be incentive stock options, or ISOs, is limited to our employees. Dividend equivalents may also be provided in connection with an award under the 2014 Omnibus Plan on terms and subject to conditions established by our compensation committee.

131

• Stock options and SARs. The exercise price of a stock option, and the base price against which a SAR is to be measured, may not be less than the fair market value (or, in the case of an ISO granted to a ten percent shareholder, 110% of the fair market value) of shares of our common stock on the date of grant. Our compensation committee will determine the time or times at which stock options or SARs become exercisable and the terms on which such awards remain exercisable.

• Restricted and unrestricted stock. A restricted stock award is an award of shares of our common stock subject to forfeiture restrictions, while an unrestricted stock award is not subject to such restrictions.

• Stock units. A stock unit award is an award denominated in shares of our common stock that entitles the participant to receive shares of our common stock or cash measured by the value of shares of our common stock in the future. The delivery of shares of our common stock or cash under a stock unit may be subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions or other vesting conditions.

• Performance awards. A performance award is an award the vesting, settlement or exercisability of which is subject to specified performance criteria.

• Cash awards. A cash award is an award denominated in cash.

• Other awards. Other awards are awards that are convertible into or otherwise based on shares of our common stock.

Performance Awards. The 2014 Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of performance awards that are made based upon, and subject to achieving, performance objectives. Performance objectives with respect to those awards that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, or Section 162(m), to the extent applicable, are limited to an objectively determinable measure or measures of performance relating to any or any combination of the following (measured either absolutely or by reference to an index or indices and determined either on a consolidated basis or, as the context permits, on a divisional, subsidiary, line of business, project or geographical basis or in combinations thereof): sales; revenues; assets; expenses; earnings before or after deduction for all or any portion of interest, taxes, depreciation, or amortization or equity expense, whether or not on a continuing operations or an aggregate or per share basis; return on equity, investment, capital, capital employed or assets; one or more operating ratios; operating income or profit, including on an after tax basis; borrowing levels, leverage ratios or credit rating; market share; capital expenditures; cash flow; stock price; stockholder return; sales of particular products or services; customer acquisition or retention; acquisitions and divestitures (in whole or in part); joint ventures and strategic alliances; spin-offs, split-ups and the like; reorganizations; or recapitalizations, restructurings, financings (issuance of debt or equity) or refinancings.

To the extent consistent with the requirements for satisfying the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m), to the extent applicable, our compensation committee may provide, by the deadline that otherwise applies to the establishment of the terms of any award intended to qualify for such exception, that one or more of the performance objectives applicable to an award will be adjusted in an objectively determinable manner to reflect events (for example, the impact of charges for restructurings, discontinued operations, mergers, acquisitions, extraordinary items, and other unusual or non-recurring items, and the cumulative effects of tax or accounting changes, each as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) occurring during the performance period that affect the applicable performance objectives.

Performance-based awards granted under the 2014 Omnibus Plan will not be required to comply with the provisions of the 2014 Omnibus Plan applicable to performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code if they are eligible for exemption from such provisions by reason of the transition relief for newly-public companies under Section 162(m).

132

Vesting; Termination of Employment or Service. Our compensation committee has the authority to determine the vesting schedule applicable to each award, and to accelerate the vesting or exercisability of any award. Our compensation committee will determine the effect of a termination of employment or service on an award. Unless otherwise provided by our compensation committee, upon a termination of a participant’s employment or service, all unvested stock options and SARs then held by the participant will terminate and all other unvested awards will be forfeited and all vested stock options and SARs then held by the participant will remain outstanding for three months following such termination, or 12 months in the case of the cessation of the participant’s employment due to his or her death or the termination of the participant’s employment by us due to his or her disability, or, in each case, until the applicable expiration date, if earlier. All stock options and SARs held by a participant immediately prior to the participant’s termination of employment or service will immediately terminate if such termination is for cause, as defined in the 2014 Omnibus Plan, or occurs in circumstances that would have constituted grounds for the participant’s employment or service to be terminated for cause, in the determination of the compensation committee.

Non-Transferability of Awards. Awards under the 2014 Omnibus Plan may not be transferred other than by the laws of descent and distribution, unless, for awards other than ISOs, otherwise provided by our compensation committee.

Recovery of Compensation. Our compensation committee may cancel, rescind, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict any award at any time under the 2014 Omnibus Plan if the participant is not in compliance with the provisions of the 2014 Omnibus Plan or any award thereunder or if the participant breaches any agreement with us with respect to non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality. Our compensation committee also may recover any award or payments or gain in respect of any award under the 2014 Omnibus Plan in accordance with any applicable company clawback or recoupment policy, or as otherwise required by applicable law or applicable stock exchange listing standards.

Certain Transactions; Certain Adjustments. In the event of a consolidation, merger or similar transaction or series of related transactions, including a sale or other disposition of shares of our common stock, in which our company is not the surviving corporation or that results in the acquisition of all or substantially all of our then outstanding shares of common stock by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, a sale of all or substantially all of our assets or our dissolution or liquidation, our compensation committee may, among other things, provide for the continuation or assumption of outstanding awards, for new grants in substitution of outstanding awards, for the accelerated vesting or delivery of shares under awards or for a cash-out of outstanding awards, in each case on such terms and with such restrictions as it deems appropriate. Except as our compensation committee may otherwise determine, awards not assumed in connection with such a transaction will terminate automatically and, in the case of outstanding restricted stock, will be forfeited automatically upon the consummation of such covered transaction.

In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or combination of shares, including a reverse stock split, recapitalization or other change in our capital structure that constitutes an equity restructuring within the meaning of FASB ASC Topic 718, our compensation committee will make appropriate adjustments to the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be delivered under, and the ISO and individual share limits included in, the 2014 Omnibus Plan, and will also make appropriate adjustments to the number and kind of shares or securities subject to awards, the exercise prices of such awards or any other terms of awards affected by such change. Our compensation committee will also make the types of adjustments described above to take into account distributions and other events other than those listed above if it determines that such adjustments are appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the 2014 Omnibus Plan.

Amendment; Termination. Our compensation committee will be able to amend the 2014 Omnibus Plan or outstanding awards, or terminate the 2014 Omnibus Plan as to future grants of awards, except that our compensation committee will not be able to alter the terms of an award if it would affect materially and adversely a participant’s rights under the award without the participant’s consent (unless expressly provided in the 2014

133

Omnibus Plan or the right to alter the terms of an award was expressly reserved by our compensation committee at the time the award was granted). Shareholder approval will be required for any amendment to the 2014 Omnibus Plan to the extent such approval is required by law, including applicable stock exchange requirements.

ATD Corporation Cash Incentive Plan

In connection with this offering, our board of directors intends to adopt the ATD Corporation Cash Incentive Plan, or the Cash Incentive Plan. Starting with our 2015 fiscal year, annual cash award opportunities for our named executive officers and other key employees will be granted under the Cash Incentive Plan. The following summary describes what we anticipate to be the material terms of the Cash Incentive Plan. This summary is not a complete description of all provisions of the Cash Incentive Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Cash Incentive Plan, a form of which will be filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Administration. The Cash Incentive Plan will be administered by our compensation committee. Our compensation committee has authority to interpret the Cash Incentive Plan and awards granted under it, to determine eligibility for awards and to do all things necessary to administer the Cash Incentive Plan. Any interpretation or decision by our compensation committee will be final and conclusive on all participants.

Participants; Individual Limit. Our executive officers and other key employees will be selected from time to time by our compensation committee to participate in the Cash Incentive Plan. The maximum payment to any participant pursuant to an award intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code under the Cash Incentive Plan in any fiscal year will in no event exceed $        .

Awards. With respect to each award granted under the Cash Incentive Plan, our compensation committee will establish the performance criteria applicable to the award, the amount or amounts payable if the performance criteria are achieved, and such other terms and conditions as the compensation committee deems appropriate. The Cash Incentive Plan permits the grant of awards that are intended to qualify as exempt performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent applicable, as well as awards that are not intended to so qualify. Any awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation will be administered in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m), to the extent applicable. Awards under the Cash Incentive Plan will not be required to comply with the provisions of the plan applicable to performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) if they are eligible for exemption from such provisions by reason of the transition relief for newly-public companies under Section 162(m).

Performance Criteria. Awards under the Cash Incentive Plan will be made based on, and subject to achieving, performance criteria established by our compensation committee, which may be applied to a participant or participants on an individual basis, to a business unit or division, or to the company as a whole. Performance criteria for awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m), to the extent applicable, are limited to the objectively determinable measures of performance relating to any or any combination of the following (measured either absolutely or by reference to an index or indices or the performance of one or more companies and determined either on a consolidated basis or, as the context permits, on a divisional, subsidiary, line of business, project or geographical basis or in combinations thereof): sales; revenues; assets; expenses; earnings before or after deduction for all or any portion of interest, taxes, depreciation, or amortization or equity expense, whether or not on a continuing operations or an aggregate or per share basis; return on equity, investment, capital, capital employed or assets; one or more operating ratios; operating income or profit, including on an after tax basis; borrowing levels, leverage ratios or credit rating; market share; capital expenditures; cash flow; stock price; stockholder return; sales of particular products or services; customer acquisition or retention; acquisitions and divestitures (in whole or in part); joint ventures and strategic alliances; spin-offs, split-ups and the like; reorganizations; or recapitalizations, restructurings, financings (issuance of debt or equity) or refinancings.

To the extent consistent with the requirements of Section 162(m), to the extent applicable, our compensation committee may establish, by the deadline that otherwise applies to the establishment of the terms

134

of an award intended to qualify as exempt performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), that one or more of the performance criteria applicable to such award be adjusted in an objectively determinable manner to reflect events (for example, the impact of charges for restructurings, discontinued operations, mergers, acquisitions, extraordinary items, and other unusual or non-recurring items, and the cumulative effects of tax or accounting changes, each as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) occurring during the performance period of such award that affect the applicable performance criteria.

Payment under an Award. A participant will be entitled to payment under an award only if all conditions to payment have been satisfied in accordance with the Cash Incentive Plan and the terms of the award. Our compensation committee will determine the payment date or dates for awards under the Cash Incentive Plan. Following the close of the performance period, our compensation committee will determine (and, to the extent required by Section 162(m), certify) whether and to what extent the applicable performance criteria have been satisfied. Our compensation committee will then determine the actual payment, if any, under each award. Our compensation committee has the sole and absolute discretion to reduce the actual payment to be made under any award. Our compensation committee may permit a participant to defer payment of an award subject to the requirements of applicable law.

Recovery of Compensation. Awards under the Cash Incentive Plan will be subject to forfeiture, termination and rescission, and a participant who receives a payment pursuant to the Cash Incentive Plan will be obligated to return such payment to us, to the extent provided by our compensation committee in connection with a breach by the participant of an award agreement under the Cash Incentive Plan or any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality or similar covenant or agreement with our company or an overpayment of incentive compensation due to inaccurate financial data. Our compensation committee also may recover any award or payments under any award under the Cash Incentive Plan in accordance with any applicable company clawback or recoupment policy, or as otherwise required by applicable law or applicable stock exchange listing standards.

Amendment; Termination. Our compensation committee may amend the Cash Incentive Plan at any time, provided that any amendment will be approved by our shareholders if required by Section 162(m). Following the expiration of any post-initial public offering transition relief set forth in the regulations under Section 162(m), the material terms of the Cash Incentive Plan, including the performance criteria described above, shall be subject to the re-approval of the shareholders of the Company every five years in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m). Our compensation committee may terminate the Cash Incentive Plan at any time.

2010 Plan

The following is a description of the material terms of the 2010 Plan (as amended and restated on April 28, 2014). This summary is not a complete description of all provisions of the 2010 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2010 Plan, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Upon adoption of the 2014 Omnibus Plan, we will no longer make awards under the 2010 Plan.

Plan administration. The 2010 Plan is administered by our board of directors, which has the authority to, among other things, determine eligible persons to whom grants of stock options will be made, determine the time or times when grants shall be made and the number of shares of common stock subject to each grant, prescribe the forms of and the terms and conditions of any instrument evidencing a grant, adopt, amend and rescind such rules and regulations as, in its opinion, may be advisable for the administration of the 2010 Plan, construe and interpret the 2010 Plan, and the instruments evidencing grants, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2010 Plan.

Authorized shares. Subject to adjustment under the terms of the 2010 Plan, the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be delivered in satisfaction of stock options granted under the 2010 Plan is 54,433,333. As of June 1, 2014, stock options with respect to 54,045,336 shares have been granted under this plan.

135

Eligibility. Our board of directors selects participants from among those key executives and other employees, directors, service providers or consultants of the Company or its affiliates.

Types of awards; vesting. Only stock options may be granted under the 2010 Plan. Unless otherwise determined by our board of directors, 50% of each award will be subject to a time-based vesting schedule and 50% of the award will be subject to a performance-based vesting schedule. All options, whether vested or not, expire on the tenth anniversary of their grant unless they are earlier terminated.

Termination of employment or service. Upon a termination of employment or service all then unvested options that will be forfeited without consideration; however, in the event of a termination of a participant’s employment or other service relationship by us without “cause” or by the participant for “good reason” (each, as defined in the 2010 Plan) within the two-year period following a change in control of the Company, all time-based options held by the participant will immediately vest and become exercisable. Unless otherwise provided in an option agreement, vested options will remain exercisable for one year following a participant’s death or disability, 90 days following the termination of a participant’s employment or other service relationship by us without cause or by the participant resignation for good reason, and 30 days following a termination of a participant’s employment or other service relationship by the participant other than for good reason. If a participant’s service is terminated for cause, all options requiring exercise (whether or not vested) will terminate on the commencement of business on the date of such termination.

Transferability. Stock options granted under the 2010 Plan may not be transferred except through will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or, subject to compliance with applicable laws, to a trust or custodianship created by the participant the beneficiaries of which are the participant’s spouse or lineal descendants (by blood or adoption) with prior written approval by our board of directors.

Corporate transactions. Unless otherwise provided in an option agreement, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation the company, a sale of substantially all of our assets, a merger or consolidation in which the company is not the surviving corporation, or a merger or consolidation in which the company is the surviving corporation but stockholders receive securities of another corporation and/or other property (including cash), our board of directors may provide for new grants in substitution of outstanding awards or for the cancellation of any awards immediately prior to the event for cash consideration equal to the spread on the options. In the event of a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation (except when stockholders receive securities of another corporation), holders of options shall be treated as though they held the same number of shares of common stock that are subject to such options; however, if as result of the transaction stockholders of the company continue to hold their shares and are not entitled to any additional or other consideration, the options shall not be affected by the transaction.

Adjustment. Subject to any required action by stockholders of the Company, in the event of any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of our common stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of the shares of common stock or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of common stock that is effected without receipt of consideration by us, our board of directors will make adjustments as it deems appropriate to prevent the enlargement or dilution or rights with respect to the number of shares of common stock available for grant under the 2010 Plan, the number of shares of common stock subject to options, and the exercise price of options. In the event of any other change in capitalization or corporate change not described in this paragraph or above under “Corporate transactions,” or if the stock of an affiliate of the Company is publicly traded, our board of directors shall make such adjustments as it deems appropriate in the number, kind of shares subject to outstanding options, and exercise price of outstanding options to prevent a dilution or enlargement of rights.

Amendment. Our board of directors may amend the 2010 Plan or outstanding awards, except that such an amendment may not impair or adversely affect a participant’s rights under the award without the participant’s written consent. Our board of directors may not grant any awards under the plan on or after the August 30, 2020.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Agreements with TPG and Management

In connection with the Merger, we entered into various agreements with TPG and members of our management. These include a stockholders agreement and a registration rights agreement with the TPG Funds and certain co-investors, a transaction and monitoring fee letter with a management company affiliated with TPG, and an indemnification agreement with TPG, as well as a management stockholders’ agreement. These and related arrangements are described below.

Transaction and Monitoring Fee Letter

Pursuant to our transaction and monitoring fee letter agreement with a management company affiliated with TPG, we retained such management company to provide certain management, consulting and financial services to us, when and as requested by us. We agreed to pay such management company a monitoring fee equal to 2% of Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the indenture that governed our Senior Secured Notes). The monitoring fee is payable in quarterly installments in arrears at the end of each fiscal quarter. From time to time we also pay additional fees to such management company in connection with equity financing and acquisition transactions, among other things, in an amount equal to 1% of the total transaction value of each such transaction. In connection with this offering, such management company will be entitled to receive, on its request and in lieu of any continuing payment of the monitoring fee, an aggregate termination fee of $12.5 million. We paid such management company a total of $5.8 million, $7.4 million and $4.6 million in aggregate fees, respectively, in fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011. We also paid $15.2 million in aggregate fees to such management company in the first six months of 2014, which includes a $13.5 million transaction fee following the end of the first quarter in connection with the acquisitions of Terry’s Tire and Hercules.

Stockholders Agreement

Our stockholders agreement with the TPG Funds and certain co-investors contains agreements among the parties with respect to the election of directors, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal and first offer upon disposition of shares, permitted transferees, tag along rights, drag along rights and actions requiring the approval of stockholders. In connection with this offering, these provisions will be terminated and we will enter into an amended and restated stockholders agreement with the TPG Funds pursuant to which we will be required to take all necessary action to cause the board of directors and its committees to include individuals designated by the TPG Funds in the slate of nominees recommended by the board of directors for election by our stockholders. These nomination rights are described in this prospectus in the sections titled “Management—Board Composition and Director Independence” and “Management—Board Committees.” Our amended and restated stockholders agreement also provides that we will obtain customary director indemnity insurance and enter into indemnification agreements with the TPG Funds’ director designees, and we expect to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors generally providing for indemnification in connection with their service to us or on our behalf.

Registration Rights Agreement

Our registration rights agreement with the TPG Funds and certain co-investors provides the TPG Funds with demand registration rights in respect of any shares of common stock it holds, subject to certain conditions. In addition, in the event that we register additional shares of common stock for sale to the public following the completion of this offering, we will be required to give notice of such registration to the parties thereto, and, subject to certain limitations, include shares of common stock held by them in such registration. The co-investors have similar piggyback rights in the event we register shares of common stock held by the TPG Funds for sale to the public following the completion of this offering. The agreement includes customary indemnification provisions in favor of the TPG Funds and the co-investors, any person who is or might be deemed a control person (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) and related parties against certain losses and liabilities (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses) arising out of or based upon any filing or other disclosure made by us under the securities laws relating to any such registration.

137

Indemnification Agreement with TPG

Pursuant to our indemnification agreement with TPG, including the TPG Funds and their respective affiliates, we agree to indemnify TPG against liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by TPG arising out of or in connection with securities offerings, including liabilities under the securities laws, actions or failures to act by us or our affiliates generally, or the performance by the management company affiliated with TPG of services under the transaction and monitoring fee agreement described above.

Management Stockholders Agreement

We are party to a stockholders agreement with certain members of management who were employed by us at the time of the Merger and other members of management have joined the agreement since the Merger. This agreement provides for certain Company call rights with respect to shares held by management stockholders, drag along rights, tag along rights, lock-up restrictions and registration rights. In connection with this offering, other than with respect to lock-up restrictions and registration rights, the material provisions of this agreement will terminate in accordance with their terms.

Related Party Transactions Policy

In connection with this offering, we have adopted a policy with respect to the review, approval and ratification of related party transactions. Under the policy, our audit committee is responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions. In the course of its review and approval of related party transactions, our audit committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances to decide whether to approve such transactions. Related party transactions must be approved or ratified by the audit committee based on full information about the proposed transaction and the related party’s interest.

We did not have a written policy regarding the review and approval of related party transactions immediately prior to this offering. Nevertheless, with respect to such transactions, it was our policy for our board of directors to consider the nature of and business reason for such transactions, how the terms of such transactions compared to those which might be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and whether such transactions were otherwise fair to and in the best interests of, or not contrary to, our best interests.

138

PRINCIPAL AND SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of June 1, 2014 for (a) each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock, (b) each member of our board of directors, (c) each of our named executive officers, (d) all of our directors and executive officers as a group, and (e) each other selling stockholder.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules. The information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. In general, under these rules a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares voting power or investment power with respect to such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within 60 days. To our knowledge, except as otherwise indicated, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock held by that person.

The percentage of shares beneficially owned is computed on the basis of 767,501,736 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 1, 2014. Shares of our common stock that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of June 1, 2014 are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of such person’s holdings, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person, except with respect to the percentage ownership of all directors and executive officers as a group. Unless otherwise indicated below, the address for each beneficial owner listed is c/o ATD Corporation, 12200 Herbert Wayne Court, Suite 150, Huntersville, North Carolina 28078.

The TPG Funds are affiliates of a broker-dealer and affiliates of the TPG Funds indirectly own interests in other broker-dealers. Each TPG Fund has represented that: (1) such TPG Fund has acquired its shares of the Company’s common stock in the ordinary course of business; and (2) at the time of acquisition of the Company’s shares of common stock being registered for resale, such TPG Fund had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute such shares. The TPG Funds may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to the shares of the Company’s common stock they are offering.

DESCRIPTION OF INDEBTEDNESS

We summarize below the principal terms of the agreements that govern our existing indebtedness. We refer you to the exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part for copies of agreements governing the indebtedness described below.

ABL Facility

On January 31, 2014, in connection with the Hercules acquisition, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement which provides for (i) U.S. revolving credit commitments of $850.0 million (of which up to $50.0 million can be utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to the borrowing base under the U.S. ABL Facility and (ii) Canadian revolving credit commitments of $125.0 million (of which up to $10.0 million can be utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to the borrowing base under the Canadian ABL Facility and the ABL Facility. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides the U.S. borrowers under the agreement with a first-in last out facility, the U.S. FILO Facility, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $80.0 million, subject to a borrowing base specific thereto and the Canadian borrowers under the agreement with a first-in last out facility, the Canadian FILO Facility, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million, subject to a borrowing base specific thereto. The U.S. ABL Facility provides for revolving loans available to ATDI, its 100% owned subsidiary Am-Pac Tire Dist. Inc., Hercules and any other U.S. subsidiary that we designate in the future in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The Canadian ABL Facility provides for revolving loans available to TriCan, RTD and WTD and any other Canadian subsidiaries that we designate in the future in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Provided that no default or event of default then exists or would arise therefrom, we have the option to request that the ABL Facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $200.0 million (up to $50.0 million of which may be allocated to the Canadian ABL Facility), subject to certain rights of the administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing banks with respect to the lenders providing commitments for such increase. The maturity date for the ABL Facility is November 16, 2017. The maturity date for the FILO Facility is January 31, 2017.

As of July 5, 2014, we had $641.6 million outstanding under the U.S. ABL Facility. In addition, we had certain letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $10.0 million, leaving $198.4 million available for additional borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility. The outstanding balance of the Canadian ABL Facility at July 5, 2014 was $53.1 million, leaving $70.8 million available for additional borrowings. As of July 5, 2014, the outstanding balance of the U.S. FILO Facility was $80.0 million and the outstanding balance of the Canadian FILO Facility was $10.3 million.

Borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) an Adjusted LIBOR rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin of 2.0% as of July 5, 2014 or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime commercial lending rate published by the Bank of America, N.A. as its “prime rate” for commercial loans, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (3) the one month-Adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.0% per annum, plus an applicable margin of 1.0% as of July 5, 2014. The applicable margins under the U.S. ABL Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

Borrowings under the Canadian ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either (a) a Canadian base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the base rate as published by Bank of America, N.A.

141

to the average rate applicable to Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances having an identical or comparable term as the proposed loan amount displayed and identified as such on the display referred to as the “CDOR Page” of Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service as at approximately 10:00 a.m. Toronto time on such day, plus an applicable margin of 2.0% as of July 5, 2014 or (d) an Adjusted LIBOR rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin of 2.0% as of July 5, 2014. The applicable margins under the Canadian ABL Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

Borrowings under the U.S. FILO Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) an Adjusted LIBOR rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin of 3.5% as of July 5, 2014 or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime commercial lending rate published by the Bank of America, N.A. as its “prime rate” for commercial loans, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (3) the one month-Adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.0% per annum, plus an applicable margin of 2.5% as of July 5, 2014. The applicable margins under the U.S. FILO Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

(acting through its Canada branch) as its “prime rate,” (2) the sum of 1/2 of 1% plus the Canadian overnight rate and (3) the sum of 1% plus the rate of interest per annum equal to the average rate applicable to Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances as published by Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for a 30 day interest period, plus an applicable margin of 2.5% as of July 5, 2014, (c) a rate of interest per annum equal to the average rate applicable to Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances having an identical or comparable term as the proposed loan amount displayed and identified as such on the display referred to as the “CDOR Page” of Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service as at approximately 10:00 a.m. Toronto time on such day, plus an applicable margin of 3.5% as of July 5, 2014 or (d) an Adjusted LIBOR rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin of 3.5% as of July 5, 2014. The applicable margins under the Canadian FILO Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

The U.S. and Canadian borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of:

• 85% of eligible accounts receivable of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus

• The lesser of (a) 70% of the lesser of cost or fair market value of eligible tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable, and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus

• The lesser of (a) 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable, and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, applicable.

The U.S. FILO and the Canadian FILO borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of:

• 5% of eligible accounts receivable of the U.S or Canadian. loan parties, as applicable; plus

• 10.0% of the net orderly liquidation value of the eligible tire and non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable.

142

All obligations under the U.S. ABL Facility and the U.S. FILO Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp. The Canadian ABL Facility and the Canadian FILO Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. loan parties, TriCan, RTD, WTD and any future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned, material restricted Canadian subsidiaries. Obligations under the U.S. ABL Facility and the U.S. FILO Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the U.S. loan parties, subject to certain exceptions. Obligations under the Canadian ABL Facility and the Canadian FILO Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets of the U.S. loan parties and the Canadian loan parties and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the U.S. loan parties and the Canadian loan parties, subject to certain exceptions.

The ABL Facility and the FILO Facility contain customary covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates or change our fiscal year. The terms of the ABL Facility and the FILO Facility generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of our stock subject to certain exceptions requiring compliance with certain availability levels and fixed charge coverage ratios under the ABL Facility and other customary negotiated exceptions. If the amount available for additional borrowings under the ABL Facility is less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the lesser of (x) the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility and (y) the aggregate borrowing base and (b) $25.0 million, then we would be subject to an additional covenant requiring us to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of July 5, 2014, our additional borrowing availability under the ABL Facility was above the required amount and we were therefore not subject to the additional covenants.

Senior Secured Term Loan

In connection with the acquisition of Terry’s Tire, on March 28, 2014, ATDI entered into a credit agreement that provided for the Initial Term Loan. The Initial Term Loan was issued at a discount of 0.25% which, combined with certain debt issuance costs paid at closing, resulted in net proceeds of approximately $290.9 million. The Initial Term Loan will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 6% to an aggregate accreted value of $300.0 million, the full principal amount at maturity. The net proceeds from the Initial Term Loan were used to finance a portion of the Terry’s Tire purchase price. The maturity date for the Initial Term Loan is June 1, 2018.

On June 16, 2014, ATDI amended the Initial Term Loan (the “Incremental Amendment”) to borrow an additional $340.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loan”) on the same terms as the Initial Term Loan. Pursuant to the Incremental Amendment, we also borrowed an additional $80.0 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan” and collectively with the Initial Term Loan and the Incremental Term Loan, the “Term Loan”) on the same terms as the Initial Term Loan. The proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan, net of related debt issuance costs paid at closing, amounted to approximately $335.7 million, and were used, in part, to redeem all $250.0 million aggregate principal amounts of notes outstanding under ATDI’s Senior Secured Notes and related fees and expenses as more fully described below, and the remaining proceeds will be used for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of potential future acquisitions. We received the proceeds from the Delayed Draw Term Loan at the end of the second quarter of 2014. The maturity date for the Term Loan is June 1, 2018.

Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, initially, either (a) a Eurodollar rate determined by reference to LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 4.75% at July 5, 2014 or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (2) the prime commercial lending rate published by the Bank of America, N.A. as its “prime rate” for commercial loans and (3) the one month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, plus an applicable margin of 3.75% as of July 5, 2014. The Eurodollar

143

rate is subject to an interest rate floor of 1.0%. The applicable margins under the Term Loan are subject to a step down based on a consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement for the Term Loan.

All obligations under the Term Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and, subject to certain customary exceptions, all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material subsidiaries. Obligations under the Term Loan are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all property, assets and capital stock of ATDI except accounts receivable, inventory and related intangible assets and a second-priority lien on all accounts receivable and related intangible assets.

The Term Loan contains customary covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur additional debt, create liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates, change the nature of our business or change our fiscal year. The terms of the Term Loan generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of our stock subject to certain exceptions such as the amount of 50% of net income (reduced by 100% of net losses) for the period beginning January 1, 2014 and other customary negotiated exceptions.

We are required to make principal payments equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan on the last business day of each March, June, September, and December, commencing with the last business day of June 2014. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, we are required to repay the Term Loan in certain circumstances, including with 50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% and 0%, as applicable, subject to attaining certain senior secured net leverage ratios) of our annual excess cash flow, as defined in the Term Loan agreement. The Term Loan also contains repayment provisions related to non-ordinary course asset or property sales when certain conditions are met, and related to the incurrence of debt that is not permitted under the credit agreement or incurred to refinance all or any portion of the Term Loan.

Proposed Additional Term Loan

In connection with this offering, ATDI also intends to borrow an additional $             million through the Additional Term Loan on the same terms as ATDI’s existing Term Loan. We intend to use the net proceeds therefrom, along with the net proceeds of this offering, to repay all amounts outstanding under ATDI’s 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018. The expected maturity date for the Additional Term Loan is June 1, 2018.

Senior Subordinated Notes

In connection with the consummation of the Hercules acquisition, on January 31, 2014, ATDI completed the sale to certain purchasers of the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes. The net proceeds to ATDI from the sale of the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes were approximately $221.1 million.

The Additional Senior Subordinated Notes were issued pursuant to the Seventh Supplemental Indenture to the Senior Subordinated Indenture. The Additional Senior Subordinated Notes have identical terms to the Initial Subordinated Notes, except the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes accrue interest from January 31, 2014. The Additional Senior Subordinated Notes and the Initial Subordinated Notes, as defined below, are treated as a single class of securities for all purposes under the Subordinated Indenture. However, the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes were issued with separate CUSIP numbers from the Initial Subordinated Notes and are not fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the Initial Subordinated Notes. Interest on the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 2014. The Additional Senior Subordinated Notes will mature on June 1, 2018.

144

On May 28, 2010, ATDI issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes due June 1, 2018, the Initial Subordinated Notes. Interest on the Initial Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2010.

The Senior Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a redemption price of 104.0% of the principal amount being redeemed if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 102.0% of the principal amount being redeemed if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015 and 100.0% of the principal amount being redeemed if the redemption date occurs thereafter.

The Senior Subordinated Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp, subject to certain exceptions. The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limits ATDI’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; pay certain dividends or make certain distributions in respect of ATDI’s capital stock or repurchase or redeem ATDI’s capital stock; make certain loans, investments or other restricted payments; place restrictions on the ability of certain of ATDI’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to ATDI; transfer or sell certain assets; guarantee indebtedness or incur certain other contingent obligations; incur certain liens without securing the Senior Subordinated Notes; consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of ATDI’s assets; enter into certain transactions with ATDI’s affiliates; and designate ATDI’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The terms of the Senior Subordinated Notes generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of our stock subject to certain exceptions such as the amount of 50% of net income (reduced by 100% of net losses) for the period beginning April 4, 2010 and other customary negotiated exceptions.

In connection with this offering, ATDI also intends to borrow an additional $         million through the Additional Term Loan on the same terms as ATDI’s existing Term Loan. We intend to use the net proceeds therefrom, along with the net proceeds of this offering, to repay all amounts outstanding under the Senior Subordinated Notes.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

Upon completion of this offering, our authorized capital stock will consist of              shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and              shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. The following description of our capital stock is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws to be in effect at the closing of this offering, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Common Stock

Dividend rights. Subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, holders of outstanding shares of common stock will be entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available at the times and in the amounts as the board of directors may determine from time to time. See “Dividend Policy.”

Voting rights. Each outstanding share of common stock will be entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of shares of our common stock will have no cumulative voting rights.

Preemptive rights. Our common stock will not be entitled to preemptive or other similar subscription rights to purchase any of our securities.

Conversion or redemption rights. Our common stock will be neither convertible nor redeemable.

Liquidation rights. Upon our liquidation, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata our assets that are legally available for distribution, after payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any holders of preferred stock then outstanding.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors may, without further action by our stockholders, from time to time, direct the issuance of shares of preferred stock in series and may, at the time of issuance, determine the designations, powers, preferences, privileges and relative participating, optional or special rights, as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding shares of preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends on shares of our common stock. Holders of shares of preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of our liquidation before any payment is made to the holders of shares of our common stock. Under certain circumstances, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our securities or the removal of incumbent management. Upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office, our board of directors, without stockholder approval, may issue shares of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights which could adversely affect the holders of shares of our common stock and the market value of our common stock. Upon consummation of this offering, there will be no shares of preferred stock outstanding, and we have no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Anti-takeover Effects of our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws

Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that may delay, defer or discourage another party from acquiring control of us. We expect that these provisions will discourage coercive takeover practices or inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire

146

control of us to first negotiate with the board of directors, which we believe may result in an improvement of the terms of any such acquisition in favor of our stockholders. However, they may also discourage acquisitions that some stockholders may favor.

These provisions include:

• Classified board. Our certificate of incorporation provides that our board of directors will be divided into three classes of directors. As a result, approximately one-third of our board of directors will be elected each year. The classification of directors will have the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of our board. Following the closing of this offering, our board of directors will initially be composed of              members.

• Requirements for removal of directors. Following the date on which the TPG Funds no longer beneficially own a majority of our common stock, directors may only be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the voting power of our outstanding shares of capital stock.

• Advance notice procedures. Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given our secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that business before the meeting. Although the bylaws do not give the board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, the bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.

• Actions by written consent; special meetings of stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation provides that, following the date on which the TPG Funds no longer beneficially own a majority of our common stock, stockholder action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and cannot be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that, except as otherwise required by law, special meetings of the stockholders can only be called by or at the direction of the chairman of the board, a majority of the board of directors, or, until the date on which the TPG Funds no longer beneficially own a majority of our common stock, by the secretary at the request of the holders of 50% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock.

• Supermajority approval requirements. Following the date on which the TPG Funds no longer beneficially own a majority of our common stock, certain amendments to our certificate of incorporation and shareholder amendments to our bylaws will require the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock.

• Authorized but unissued shares. Our authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of our common stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

147

• Business combinations with interested stockholders. We have elected in our certificate of incorporation not to be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an antitakeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. While we will not be subject to any anti-takeover effects of Section 203, our certificate of incorporation contains provisions that have the same effect as Section 203, except that they provide that investment funds affiliated with TPG will not be deemed to be an “interested stockholder,” regardless of the percentage of our voting stock owned by investment funds affiliated with TPG, and accordingly will not be subject to such restrictions.

Exclusive Jurisdiction for Certain Actions

Our certificate of incorporation requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in the name of the Company, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of a fiduciary duty and other similar actions, may be brought only in specified courts in the State of Delaware. Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers. See “Risk Factors—Our certificate of incorporation designates courts in the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.”

Litigation Costs

Our bylaws require, except to the extent prohibited by the DGCL, that in all derivative actions brought in the name of the Company, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of a fiduciary duty and other similar actions, the initiating party shall reimburse the Company and any officer, director or other employee for all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with such action if such initiating party does not substantially achieve the full remedy sought. Although we believe this provision benefits us by discouraging meritless lawsuits against the Company and our directors, officers and employees, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits that could benefit the Company. See “Risk Factors—Our bylaws provide that if a claiming party brings certain actions against us and is not successful on the merits then they will be obligated to pay our litigation costs, which could have the effect of discouraging litigation, including claims brought by our stockholders.”

Corporate Opportunities

Our certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce any interest or expectancy in the business opportunities of TPG and of its officers, directors, agents, stockholders, members, partners, affiliates and subsidiaries and each such party shall not have any obligation to offer us those opportunities unless presented to one of our directors or officers in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and there shall be no restriction on such parties using the general knowledge and understanding of the Company or our industry to consider or pursue other opportunities or to make investment, voting, monitoring, governance or other decisions relating to other entities or securities).

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and our bylaws require that we will indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law. We expect to enter into customary indemnification agreements with each of our directors that provide them, in general, with

148

customary indemnification in connection with their service to us or on our behalf. We also maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance that insures against liabilities that our officers and directors may incur in such capacities.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

Listing

We have applied to list our common stock on the NYSE under the symbol “ATD.”

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Before this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. As described below, only a limited number of shares currently outstanding will be available for sale immediately after this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale. Nevertheless, future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, in the public market after this offering, or the perception that those sales may occur, could cause the prevailing market price for our common stock to fall or impair our ability to raise capital through sales of our equity securities.

Upon the closing of this offering, we will have outstanding              shares of our common stock, after giving effect to the issuance of              shares of our common stock in this offering, assuming no exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares and no exercise of options outstanding as of                     , 2014.

Of the shares that will be outstanding immediately after the closing of this offering, we expect that the              shares to be sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act unless purchased by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Shares purchased by our affiliates may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, including the safe harbor under Rule 144 of the Securities Act described below. In addition, following this offering,              shares of common stock issuable pursuant to awards granted under certain of our equity plans that are covered by a registration statement on Form S-8 will be freely tradable in the public market, subject to certain contractual and legal restrictions described below.

The remaining              shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering will be “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and we expect that substantially all of these restricted securities will be subject to the lock-up agreements described below. These restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if the sale is registered or pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as the safe harbor provided by Rule 144.

Lock-up Agreements

We and each of our directors, executive officers and certain other stockholders, who collectively own              shares of our common stock following this offering, have agreed that, without the prior written consent of certain of the underwriters, we and they will not, subject to limited exceptions, directly or indirectly sell or dispose of any shares of common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of common stock for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, unless extended pursuant to its terms. The lock-up restrictions and specified exceptions are described in more detail under “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest).”

Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144, beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, any person who is not our affiliate and has held their shares for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates, may sell shares without restriction, subject to the availability of current public information about us. In addition, under Rule 144, any person who is not our affiliate and has not been our affiliate at any time during the preceding three months and has held their shares for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates, would be entitled to sell an unlimited number of shares immediately upon the closing of this offering without regard to whether current public information about us is available.

Beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a person who is our affiliate or who was our affiliate at any time during the preceding three months and who has beneficially owned restricted securities for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates, is entitled to sell a

150

number of shares within any three-month period that does not exceed the greater of: (i) 1% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, which will equal approximately              shares immediately after this offering; and (ii) the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on the NYSE during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.

Rule 701

In general, under Rule 701 under the Securities Act, beginning 90 days after we become subject to the public company reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, any of our employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors who acquired shares of common stock from us in connection with a written compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement in compliance with Rule 701 is entitled to sell such shares in reliance on Rule 144 but without compliance with certain of the requirements contained in Rule 144. Accordingly, subject to any applicable lock-up agreements, beginning 90 days after we become subject to the public company reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, under Rule 701 persons who are not our affiliates may resell those shares without complying with the minimum holding period or public information requirements of Rule 144, and persons who are our affiliates may resell those shares without compliance with Rule 144’s minimum holding period requirements.

Equity Incentive Plans

Following this offering, we intend to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock that are subject to outstanding options and other awards issuable pursuant to our equity incentive plans. Shares covered by such registration statement will be available for sale in the open market following its effective date, subject to certain Rule 144 limitations applicable to affiliates and the terms of lock-up agreements applicable to those shares.

Registration Rights

Subject to the lock-up agreements described above, certain holders of our common stock may demand that we register the sale of their shares under the Securities Act or, if we file another registration statement under the Securities Act other than a Form S-8 covering securities issuable under our equity plans or on Form S-4, may elect to include their shares of common stock in such registration. Following such registered sales, the shares will be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act, unless held by our affiliates. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Stockholders Agreement.”

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR

NON-U.S. HOLDERS

The following is a summary of material U.S. federal income and estate tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares of our common stock issued pursuant to this offering by Non-U.S. Holders (defined below). This summary does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relevant to Non-U.S. Holders of shares of our common stock. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), the Treasury regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations at any time, possibly with retroactive effect.

This summary assumes that shares of our common stock are held by a Non-U.S. Holder as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code (generally, property held for investment). This summary does not purport to deal with all aspects of U.S. federal income and estate taxation that might be relevant to particular Non-U.S. Holders in light of their particular investment circumstances or status, nor does it address specific tax considerations that may be relevant to particular persons who are subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws (including, for example, financial institutions, broker-dealers, insurance companies, partnerships or other pass-through entities, certain U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States, tax-exempt organizations, pension plans, “controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies,” corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, persons in special situations, such as those who have elected to mark securities to market or those who hold shares of our common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction, synthetic security or other integrated investment, persons that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, or holders subject to the alternative minimum tax or the 3.8% tax on net investment income). In addition, except as explicitly addressed herein with respect to estate tax, this summary does not address certain estate and any gift tax considerations or considerations arising under the tax laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction.

For purposes of this summary, a “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is an individual, corporation, estate or trust other than:

• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation, or any other organization taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

• an estate, the income of which is included in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

• a trust if (1) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) have the authority to control all of the trust’s substantial decisions or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

A modified definition of Non-U.S. Holder applies for U.S. federal estate tax purposes (as discussed below).

If an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds shares of our common stock, the tax treatment of persons treated as its partners for U.S. federal income tax purposes will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships and other

152

entities that are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and persons holding our common stock through a partnership or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes are urged to consult their own tax advisors.

There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will not challenge one or more of the tax consequences described herein, and we have not obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of counsel with respect to the U.S. federal income or estate tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder of the purchase, ownership or disposition of shares of our common stock.

THIS SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED TO BE TAX ADVICE. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAXATION AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK, AS WELL AS THE APPLICATION OF STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

Distributions on Shares of our Common Stock

As discussed under “Dividend Policy” above, we do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future. In the event that we do make a distribution of cash or property with respect to shares of our common stock, any such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, and will be subject to withholding as described in the next paragraph below. If a distribution exceeds our current or accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated as a tax-free return of the Non-U.S. Holder’s investment, up to such holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as capital gain, subject to the tax treatment described below in “—Gain on Sale, Exchange or other Taxable Disposition of our Common Stock.” Any distribution described in this paragraph would also be subject to the discussion below in “—Additional Withholding and Information Reporting Requirements for Shares of our Common Stock Held by or through Non-U.S. Entities.”

Any dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder with respect to shares of our common stock generally will be subject to a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax unless such Non-U.S. Holder provides us or our agent, as the case may be, with an appropriate IRS Form W-8, such as:

• IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor form) certifying, under penalties of perjury, that such Non-U.S. Holder is entitled to a reduction in withholding under an applicable income tax treaty; or

• IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) certifying, under penalties of perjury, that a dividend paid on shares of our common stock is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with conduct of a trade or business in the United States of the Non-U.S. Holder (in which case such dividend generally will be subject to regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates on a net income basis as described below).

The certifications described above must be provided to us or our agent prior to the payment of dividends and must be updated periodically. The certification also may require a Non-U.S. Holder that provides an IRS form or that claims treaty benefits to provide its U.S. taxpayer identification number. Special certification and other requirements apply in the case of certain Non-U.S. Holders that are intermediaries or pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Each Non-U.S. Holder is urged to consult its own tax advisor about the specific methods for satisfying these requirements. A claim for exemption will not be valid if the person receiving the applicable form has actual knowledge or reason to know that the statements on the form are false.

153

If dividends are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States of the Non-U.S. Holder (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder in the United States), the Non-U.S. Holder, although exempt from the withholding tax described above (provided that the certifications described above are satisfied), will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such dividends on a net income basis in the same manner as if it were a resident of the United States. In addition, if such Non-U.S. Holder is taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise.

Non-U.S. Holders that do not timely provide us or our agent with the required certification, but which are eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amount withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Shares of our Common Stock

Subject to the discussion below under “—Additional Withholding and Information Reporting Requirements for Shares of our Common Stock Held by or through Non-U.S. Entities,” in general, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on any gain realized upon such holder’s sale, exchange or other disposition of shares of our common stock unless (i) such Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition, and certain other conditions are met, (ii) we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation,” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code (a “USRPHC”), at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition and the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period with respect to the applicable shares of our common stock (the “relevant period”), or (iii) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by such Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder in the United States).

If the first exception applies, the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise) on the amount by which such Non-U.S. Holder’s capital gains allocable to U.S. sources exceed capital losses allocable to U.S. sources during the taxable year of the disposition.

With respect to the second exception above, although there can be no assurance, we believe we are not, and we do not currently anticipate becoming, a USRPHC. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our U.S. real property relative to the fair market value of other business assets, there can be no assurance that we are not currently or will not become a USRPHC in the future. Generally, a corporation is a USRPHC only if the fair market value of its United States real property interests (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests plus certain other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. Even if we are or become a USRPHC, a Non-U.S. Holder would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock by reason of our status as a USRPHC so long as (a) our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 897(c)(3)) during the calendar year in which such sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock occurs and (b) such Non-U.S. Holder does not own and is not deemed to own (directly, indirectly or constructively) more than 5% of our common stock at any time during the relevant period. If we are a USRPHC and the requirements of (a) or (b) are not met, gain on the disposition of shares of our common stock generally will be taxed in the same manner as gain that is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, except that the “branch profits tax” will not apply. Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible consequences to them if we are, or were to become, a USRPHC.

154

If the third exception applies, the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S federal income tax on a net income basis with respect to such gain in the same manner as if such holder were a resident of the United States, unless otherwise provided in an applicable income tax treaty, and a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S federal income tax purposes may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” on its effectively connected earnings and profits at a rate of 30%, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise.

Additional Withholding and Information Reporting Requirements for Shares of our Common Stock Held by or through Non-U.S. Entities

Legislation enacted in March 2010 and related Treasury guidance (commonly referred to as “FATCA”) generally will impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on payments to certain non-U.S. entities (including certain intermediaries), including dividends on and the gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our common stock unless such persons comply with a complicated U.S. information reporting, disclosures and certification regime. This new regime requires, among other things, a broad class of persons to enter into agreements with the IRS to obtain, disclose and report information about their investors and account holders. This new regime and its requirements are different from and in addition to the certification requirements described elsewhere in this discussion. As currently proposed, the FATCA withholding rules would apply to certain payments, including dividend payments on our common stock, if any, paid after June 30, 2014, and gross proceeds from the sale or other dispositions of our common stock paid after December 31, 2016. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible impact of these rules on their investment in our common stock, and the entities through which they hold our common stock, including, without limitation, the process and deadlines for meeting the applicable requirements to prevent the imposition of this 30% withholding tax under FATCA.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

We must report annually to the IRS and to each Non-U.S. Holder the gross amount of the distributions on shares of our common stock paid to such holder and the tax withheld, if any, with respect to such distributions. These information reporting requirements apply even if withholding was not required. In addition to the requirements described above under “—Additional Withholding and Information Reporting Requirements for Shares of our Common Stock Held by or through Non-U.S. Entities,” a Non-U.S. Holder may have to comply with specific certification procedures to establish that the holder is not a United States person (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) or otherwise establish an exemption in order to avoid backup withholding at the applicable rate with respect to dividends on our common stock. Dividends paid to Non-U.S. Holders subject to the U.S. federal withholding tax, as described above In “—Distributions on Shares of our Common Stock,” generally will be exempt from U.S. backup withholding.

Information reporting and backup withholding will generally apply to the payment of the proceeds of a disposition of shares of our common stock by a Non-U.S. Holder effected by or through the U.S. office of any broker, U.S. or non-U.S., unless the holder certifies that it is not a United States person (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) and satisfies certain other requirements, or otherwise establishes an exemption. For information reporting purposes, dispositions effected through a non-U.S. office of a broker with substantial U.S. ownership or operations generally will be treated in a manner similar to dispositions effected through a U.S. office of a broker, and dispositions otherwise effected through a non-U.S. office generally will not be subject to information reporting. Generally, backup withholding will not apply to a payment of disposition proceeds to a Non-U.S. Holder where the transaction is effected through a non-U.S. office of a U.S. broker or non-U.S. office of a non-U.S broker. Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the information reporting and backup withholding rules to them.

Copies of information returns may be made available to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is incorporated, under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement.

155

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment made to a Non-U.S. Holder can be refunded or credited against such Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that an appropriate claim is timely filed with the IRS.

Federal estate tax

Shares of our common stock held (or treated as held) by an individual who is not a U.S. citizen or resident (as defined for U.S. federal estate tax purposes) at the time of such individual’s death will be included in such individual’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.

156

UNDERWRITING (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)

Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. are acting as representatives of each of the underwriters named below. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in an underwriting agreement among us, the selling stockholders and the underwriters, we and the selling stockholders have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each of the underwriters has agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase from us and the selling stockholders, the number of shares of common stock set forth opposite its name below.

Underwriter	Number of Shares
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc
Goldman, Sachs & Co.
Barclays Capital Inc.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC
UBS Securities LLC
TPG Capital BD, LLC
RBC Capital Markets, LLC
SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc.
Total

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement, the underwriters have agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase all of the shares sold under the underwriting agreement if any of these shares are purchased. If an underwriter defaults, the underwriting agreement provides that the purchase commitments of the nondefaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be terminated.

We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

The underwriters are offering the shares, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel, including the validity of the shares, and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriters of officer’s certificates and legal opinions. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

Commissions and Discounts

The representatives have advised us and the selling stockholders that the underwriters propose initially to offer the shares to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $         per share. After the initial offering, the public offering price, concession or any other term of the offering may be changed. Sales of shares made outside of the United States may be made by affiliates of the underwriters.

The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discount and proceeds before expenses to us and the selling stockholders. The information assumes either no exercise or full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares.

	Per Share	Without Option	With Option
Public offering price	$	$	$
Underwriting discount	$	$	$
Proceeds, before expenses, to ATD	$	$	$
Proceeds, before expenses, to the selling stockholders	$	$	$

157

We have agreed to reimburse the underwriters for certain accountable expenses in connection with this offering in an amount not to exceed $25,000. The expenses of the offering, not including the underwriting discount, are estimated at $         and are payable by us.

Option to Purchase Additional Shares

We and the selling stockholders have granted an option to the underwriters, exercisable for 30 days after the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to          additional shares at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount. If the underwriters exercise this option, each will be obligated, subject to conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, to purchase a number of additional shares proportionate to that underwriter’s initial amount reflected in the above table.

No Sales of Similar Securities

We and the selling stockholders, our executive officers and directors and our other existing security holders have agreed not to sell or transfer any common stock or securities convertible into, exchangeable for, exercisable for, or repayable with common stock, for 180 days after the date of this prospectus without first obtaining the written consent of certain of the underwriters. Specifically, we and these other persons have agreed, with certain limited exceptions, not to directly or indirectly

• offer, pledge, sell or contract to sell any common stock,

• sell any option or contract to purchase any common stock,

• purchase any option or contract to sell any common stock,

• grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of any common stock,

• lend or otherwise dispose of or transfer any common stock,

• request or demand that we file a registration statement related to the common stock, or

• enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequence of ownership of any common stock whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

This lock-up provision applies to common stock and to securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with common stock. It also applies to common stock owned now or acquired later by the person executing the agreement or for which the person executing the agreement later acquires the power of disposition. In the event that either (x) during the last 17 days of the lock-up period referred to above, we issue an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to us occurs or (y) prior to the expiration of the lock-up period, we announce that we will release earnings results or become aware that material news or a material event will occur during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the lock-up period, the restrictions described above shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event.

New York Stock Exchange Listing

We expect the shares to be approved for listing on the NYSE under the symbol “ATD.” In order to meet the requirements for listing on that exchange, the underwriters have undertaken to sell a minimum number of shares to a minimum number of beneficial owners as required by that exchange.

158

Before this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. The initial public offering price will be determined through negotiations among us, the selling stockholders and the representatives. In addition to prevailing market conditions, the factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering price are

• the valuation multiples of publicly traded companies that the representatives believe to be comparable to us,

• our financial information,

• the history of, and the prospects for, our company and the industry in which we compete,

• an assessment of our management, its past and present operations, and the prospects for, and timing of, our future revenues,

• the present state of our development,

• the information set forth in this prospectus and otherwise available to the representatives,

• the general condition of the securities markets at the time of the offering,

• the above factors in relation to market values and various valuation measures of other companies engaged in activities similar to ours, and

• other factors deemed relevant by the underwriters, the selling stockholders and us.

An active trading market for the shares may not develop. It is also possible that after the offering the shares will not trade in the public market at or above the initial public offering price.

The underwriters do not expect to sell more than 5% of the shares in the aggregate to accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

Until the distribution of the shares is completed, SEC rules may limit underwriters and selling group members from bidding for and purchasing our common stock. However, the representatives may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the common stock, such as bids or purchases to peg, fix or maintain that price.

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell our common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering. “Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares described above. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the option granted to them. “Naked” short sales are sales in excess of such option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of shares of common stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.

159

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters’ purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on                     , in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the representatives will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Electronic Distribution

In connection with the offering, certain of the underwriters or securities dealers may distribute prospectuses by electronic means, such as e-mail.

Conflict of Interest

Affiliates of TPG Capital BD, LLC, an underwriter of this offering, own in excess of 10% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Therefore, a “conflict of interest” is deemed to exist under FINRA Rule 5121(f)(5)(B). In addition, because the TPG Funds are affiliates of TPG Capital BD, LLC and, as selling stockholders, will receive more than 5% of the net proceeds of this offering, a “conflict of interest” is also deemed to exist under FINRA Rule 5121(f)(5)(C)(ii). Accordingly, this offering will be made in compliance with the applicable provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121(c), no sales of the shares will be made to any discretionary account over which TPG Capital BD, LLC exercises discretion without the prior specific written approval of the account holder. However, no “qualified independent underwriter” is required because the underwriters primarily responsible for managing this offering are free of any “conflict of interest” as that term is defined in the rule.

Bank of America, N.A., an affiliate of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, acts as the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and a lender under the credit agreement governing our ABL Facility and FILO Facility and the Administrative Agent, Sole Lead Arranger, Sole Bookrunner and a lender under our senior secured term loan facility. Barclays Bank PLC, an affiliate of Barclays Capital Inc., SunTrust Bank, an affiliate of SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., Royal Bank of Canada, an affiliate of RBC Capital Markets, LLC, and UBS AG, Stamford Branch, an affiliate of UBS Securities LLC, have all provided commitments under the credit agreement governing our ABL Facility and FILO Facility.

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services. Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, a variety of these services to us and to persons and entities with relationships with us, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates, officers, directors and employees may purchase, sell or hold a broad array of investments and actively traded securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments for

160

their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and trading activities may involve or relate to assets, securities and/or instruments of ours (directly, as collateral securing other obligations or otherwise) and/or persons and entities with relationships with us. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such assets, securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they should acquire, long and/or short positions in such assets, securities and instruments.

Sales Outside of the United States

Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the underwriters that would permit a public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The securities offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this prospectus comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.

Notice to Prospective Investors in the European Economic Area

In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area (each, a “Relevant Member State”), no offer of shares may be made to the public in that Relevant Member State other than:

A. to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive:

B. to fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provision of the 2010 PD Amending Directive, 150, natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the representatives; or

C. in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,

provided that no such offer of shares shall require the Company or the representatives to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.

Each person in a Relevant Member State who initially acquires any shares or to whom any offer is made will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that it is a “qualified investor” within the meaning of the law in that Relevant Member State implementing Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive. In the case of any shares being offered to a financial intermediary as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, each such financial intermediary will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that the shares acquired by it in the offer have not been acquired on a non-discretionary basis on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in circumstances which may give rise to an offer of any shares to the public other than their offer or resale in a Relevant Member State to qualified investors as so defined or in circumstances in which the prior consent of the representatives has been obtained to each such proposed offer or resale.

The Company, the representatives and their affiliates will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, acknowledgements and agreements.

161

This prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any offer of shares in any Relevant Member State will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of shares. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant Member State of shares which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Company or any of the underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive in relation to such offer. Neither the Company nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of shares in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Company or the underwriters to publish a prospectus for such offer.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To ATD Corporation and Subsidiaries:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ATD Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 28, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 16(b) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Company:

ATD Corporation (also referred to herein as “ATD Corp” and formerly Accelerate Parent Corp.) is a Delaware corporation that indirectly owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), a Delaware corporation. Holdings owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of American Tire Distributors, Inc. (“ATDI”), a Delaware corporation. ATD Corp has no significant assets or operations other than its ownership of ATDI. The operations of ATDI and its subsidiaries constitute the operations of ATD Corp presented under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Unless the context otherwise requires, “Company” herein refers to ATD Corp and its consolidated subsidiaries. In June 2014, the Company changed its name from Accelerate Parent Corp. to ATD Corporation. On May 28, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2010, the Company was acquired by TPG Capital, L.P. (“TPG” or the “Sponsor”) and certain co-investors (the “Merger”).

The Company is primarily engaged in the wholesale distribution of tires, custom wheels and accessories, and related tire supplies and tools, representing 97.4% or $3,740.2 million, 2.0% or $76.3 million and 0.6% or $22.8 million, respectively, of our net sales. Operating as one operating and reportable segment through a network of 133 distribution centers, including three redistribution centers in the United States, the Company offers access to an extensive breadth and depth of inventory, representing approximately 40,000 stock-keeping units (SKUs) to approximately 72,000 customers (approximately 64,000 in the U.S. and 8,000 in Canada). The Company’s customer base is comprised primarily of independent tire dealers with the remainder of other customers representing various national and corporate accounts. The Company serves a majority of the contiguous United States as well as Canada. During fiscal 2013, the Company’s largest customer and top ten customers accounted for 3.1% and 10.9%, respectively, of its net sales.

The Company’s fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Therefore, the financial results of 53-week fiscal years will not be exactly comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years. The fiscal years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 each contain operating results for 52 weeks. It should be noted that, prior to fiscal 2013, the Company and its TriCan Tire Distributors (“TriCan”) subsidiary had different year-end reporting dates. For fiscal 2012, TriCan had a calendar year-end reporting date of December 31. The impact from this difference on the consolidated financial statements was not material. TriCan converted to the Company’s fiscal year reporting date during fiscal 2013.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

A summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

Basis of Preparation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated results for the periods presented. Certain changes in classification of amounts reported in prior years have been made to conform to the 2013 classification.

ATD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ATD Corp and all of its subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and controlled. Partially-owned investments represent 20-50% ownership interests in investments where the Company demonstrates significant influence, but does not have a controlling financial interest. Partially-owned investments are accounted for under the equity method. The Company does not have any investments that are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are based on several factors including the facts and circumstances available at the time the estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends, and the assessment of the probable future outcome. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) in the period that they are determined.

Foreign currency translation

All foreign currency denominated balance sheet accounts are translated at year end exchange rates and revenue and expense accounts are translated at weighted average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholder’s equity. Transactional foreign currency gains and losses are included in other expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all deposits with an original maturity of three months or less and readily convertible cash to be cash equivalents in its consolidated financial statements. Outstanding checks are presented as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows because they are funded by drawing on the revolving credit facility as they are presented for payment.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the best estimate of probable loss inherent within the Company’s accounts receivable balance. Estimates are based upon both the creditworthiness of specific customers and the overall probability of losses based upon an analysis of the overall aging of receivables as well as past collection trends and general economic conditions.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, or fair market value and consist primarily of automotive tires, custom wheels, and related tire supply and tool products. The Company performs periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow-moving and non-saleable inventories and records necessary provisions to reduce such inventories to net realizable value. A majority of the Company’s tire vendors allow for the return of tire products, subject to certain limitations, specified in supply arrangements with the vendors.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting purposes, assets placed in service are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method at annual rates sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets less estimated salvage values over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their economic useful life or the related lease term. The range of useful lives used to depreciate property and equipment is as follows:

Buildings	25 to 31 years
Leasehold improvements	2 to 10 years
Machinery and equipment	2 to 10 years
Furniture and fixtures	3 to 8 years
Internal use software	1 to 5 years
Vehicles and other	3 to 6 years

Major expenditures for replacements and significant improvements that increase asset values and extend useful lives are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance expenditures that do not extend the useful life of the asset are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amounts of assets that are sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statement of comprehensive income (loss).

The Company capitalizes costs, including interest, incurred to develop or acquire internal-use software. These costs are capitalized subsequent to the preliminary project stage once specific criteria are met. Costs incurred in the preliminary project planning stage are expensed. Other costs, such as maintenance and training, are also expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset.

Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level and determined using a two step process. The first step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed, wherein the reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill is compared to the implied fair value of goodwill. To the extent that the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value, impairment exists and must be recognized.

Recoverability of other indefinite-lived intangible assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the intangible assets to the estimated fair value of the respective intangible assets. Any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss equal to that excess.

F-12

ATD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Intangible assets such as customer-related intangible assets and noncompete agreements with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line or accelerated basis over their estimated economic lives. The weighted-average useful lives approximate the following:

Customer list	16 to 19 years
Tradenames	1 to 7 years
Noncompete agreements	1 to 5 years
Favorable leases	4 to 6 years

The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its intangible assets with finite useful lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are expenditures associated with obtaining financings that are capitalized in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the term of the loans to which such costs relate. Amounts capitalized are recorded within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). At December 28, 2013, the unamortized balance of deferred financing costs was $16.3 million, which includes $1.1 million incurred to increase the borrowing capacity of the Company’s Canadian ABL Facility and FILO Facility during fiscal 2013 (See Note 9 for additional information). At December 29, 2012, the unamortized balance of deferred financing costs was $19.7 million. Amortization for fiscal 2013, fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 was $4.5 million, $7.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Amortization for fiscal 2012 included $2.8 million related to the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with a lender that is not participating in the new syndication group.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

For derivative instruments, the Company applies FASB authoritative guidance which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. This statement requires that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met and that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting treatment.

Self Insurance

The Company is self-insured with respect to employee health liability claims and maintains a large deductible program on both workers’ compensation and auto insurance. The Company has stop-loss insurance coverage for individual claims in excess of $0.3 million for employee health insurance and deductibles of $0.3 million on the workers’ compensation and auto on a per claim basis. Aggregate stop-loss limits for workers’ compensation and auto are $9.0 million. There is no aggregate stop-loss limit on employee health insurance. A reserve for liabilities associated with losses is established for claims filed and claims incurred but not yet reported using actuarial methods followed in the insurance industry as well as the Company’s historical claims experience.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized and earned when all of the following criteria are satisfied: (a) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; (b) price is fixed or determinable; (c) collectability is reasonably assured; and (d) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered. The Company recognizes revenue when the title and the risks and rewards of ownership have substantially transferred to the customer, which is upon delivery under free on board (“FOB”) destination terms. The Company permits customers from time to time to return certain products, but there is no contractual right of return. The Company continuously monitors and tracks such returns and records an estimate of such future returns, which is based on historical experience and recent trends.

In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit, on open accounts, to its customers after performing a credit analysis based on a number of financial and other criteria. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and does not normally require collateral; however, letters of credit and other security are occasionally required for certain new and existing customers.

Customer Rebates

The Company offers rebates to its customers under a number of different programs. These rebates are recorded in accordance with the accounting standards for consideration given by a vendor to a customer. The majority of these programs provide for the customer to receive rebates, generally in the form of a reduction in the related accounts receivable balance, when certain measures are achieved, generally related to the volume of product purchased from the Company. These rebates are recorded as a reduction of the related price of the product, which reduces the amount of revenue recorded. Throughout the year, the amount of rebates is estimated based on the expected level of purchases to be made by customers that participate in the rebate programs. These estimates are periodically revised to reflect rebates earned by customers based on actual purchases made.

Manufacturer Rebates

The Company receives rebates from its vendors under a number of different programs. These rebates are recorded in accordance with the accounting standards for cash consideration received from a vendor. Many of the vendor programs provide for the Company to receive rebates when any of a number of measures are achieved, generally related to the volume of purchases. These rebates are accounted for as a reduction to the price of the product, which reduces the carrying value of our inventory, and our cost of goods sold when product is sold. Throughout the year, the amount recognized for annual rebates is based on purchases management considers probable for the full year. These estimates are continually revised to reflect rebates earned based on actual purchase levels.

Cooperative Advertising and Marketing Programs

The Company participates in cooperative advertising and marketing programs (“co-op”) with its vendors. Co-op funds are provided to the Company generally based on the volume of purchases made with vendors that offer such programs. A portion of the funds received must be used for specific advertising and marketing expenditures incurred by the Company or its customers. The co-op funds received by the Company from its vendors are accounted for in accordance with the accounting standards related to accounting for cash consideration received from a vendor, which requires that the Company record the funds received as a reduction of cost of sales or as an offset to specific costs incurred in selling the vendor’s products. The co-op funds that are provided to the Company’s customers are accounted for in accordance with authoritative guidance related to accounting for cash consideration given by a vendor to a customer, which requires that the Company record the funds paid as a reduction of revenue since no separate identifiable benefit is received by the Company.

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs

In accordance with current accounting standards, the Company determined that shipping fees shall be reported on a gross basis. As a result, all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction related to shipping fees represent revenues earned for the goods provided and therefore recorded within net sales in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). Handling costs include expenses incurred to store, move, and prepare products for shipment. The Company classifies these costs as selling, general and administrative expenses within the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss), and includes a portion of internal costs such as salaries and overhead related to these activities. For fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred $213.8 million, $171.1 million and $140.8 million, respectively, related to these expenses.

Income Taxes

The Company records a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. The provision is computed using the asset and liability method of accounting, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In addition, the Company recognizes future tax benefits, such as net operating losses and tax credits, to the extent that realizing these benefits is considered in its judgment to be more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax items are expected to be realized or settled. The Company regularly reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets considering historic profitability, projected future taxable income, and timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences as well as the feasibility of our tax planning strategies. Where appropriate, a valuation allowance is recorded if available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes to valuation allowances are recognized in earnings in the period such determination is made.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions by recognizing the financial statement effects of a tax position only when, based upon the technical merits, it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The tax impacts recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest impact that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions as a component of the provision for income taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” which amended the guidance on the annual impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. The amended guidance will allow a company the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If, based on the qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if a company concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. This new guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on December 30, 2012 (the first day of its 2013 fiscal year); however, the Company performed its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2013.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” which amended the guidance for reporting reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amended guidance requires an entity to report the effect of

F-15

ATD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is entirely reclassified to net income, as required by U.S. GAAP. For other amounts, that are not required by U.S. GAAP to be entirely reclassified to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures that will provide additional detail concerning these amounts. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance on December 30, 2012 and its adoption did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exits.” ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.

preliminarily allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. A majority of the net assets acquired relate to a customer list intangible asset, which had an acquisition date fair value of $4.4 million. The Company utilized the excess earnings method, a derivation of the income approach, to determine the fair value of the customer list intangible asset. The excess earnings method estimates the discounted net earnings attributable to the customer relationships that were acquired after considering items such as possible customer attrition. Based on the length and trend of projected cash flows, an estimated useful life of 16 years was determined. The length of the projected cash flow period was determined by how quickly the customer relationships attrit based on the Company’s historical experience in renewing and extending similar customer relationships. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill, and amounted to $1.1 million. The premium in the purchase price paid for the acquisition of WTD reflects the anticipated realization of operational and cost synergies. As additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period, the Company expects to refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price more accurately.

On August 30, 2013, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Tire Distributors, Inc. (“TDI”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of TDI.

The acquisition of RTD was completed on April 30, 2013 for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $64.9 million (the “Adjusted Purchase Price”) which includes initial working capital adjustments. The acquisition of RTD was funded by borrowings under the Company’s ABL Facility and FILO Facility, as more fully described in Note 9. The Adjusted Purchase Price was subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including, but not limited to, the finalization of working capital adjustments. Of the $64.9 million Adjusted Purchase Price, $6.3 million is held in escrow pending the resolution of the post-closing adjustments and other escrow release conditions in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement and escrow agreement. During third quarter 2013, the Company and the shareholders of Holdco agreed on the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement. This adjustment increased the Adjusted Purchase Price by $1.0 million to $65.9 million with a corresponding increase to goodwill of $1.0 million.

The acquisition of RTD was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with current accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. As a result, the Adjusted Purchase Price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition.

The premium in the purchase price paid for the acquisition of RTD primarily relates to growth opportunities from expanding the Company’s distribution footprint into Eastern Canada and through operating synergies available via the consolidation of certain distribution centers in Eastern Canada.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable were stated at their historical carrying values, which approximate their fair value, given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Inventory was recorded at fair value, based on computations which considered many factors including the estimated selling price of the inventory, the cost to dispose the inventory as well as the replacement cost of the inventory, where applicable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At December 28, 2013, the Company had $713.3 million of intangible assets. The balance primarily relates to the Merger on May 28, 2010, in which $781.3 million was recorded as intangible assets. As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation of WTD, the Company allocated $4.4 million to a finite-lived customer list intangible asset with a useful life of sixteen years. As part of the purchase price allocation of TDI, the Company allocated $3.4 million to a finite-lived customer list intangible asset with a useful life of sixteen years. As part of the purchase price allocation of RTD, the Company allocated $40.7 million to a finite-lived customer list intangible asset with a useful life of sixteen years, $1.9 million to a finite-lived tradename with a useful life of five years and $0.4 million to a finite-lived favorable leases intangible asset with a useful life of four years.

ABL Facility

See Note 18 regarding recent amendment to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Our Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, our “Credit Agreement”) provides for (i) U.S. revolving credit commitments of $850.0 million (of which up to $50.0 million can be utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to U.S. borrowing base availability (the “U.S. ABL Facility”) and (ii) Canadian revolving credit commitments of $100.0 million (of which up to $10.0 million can be utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to Canadian borrowing base availability (the “Canadian ABL Facility” and, collectively with the U.S. ABL Facility, the “ABL Facility”). In addition, the Credit Agreement provides the U.S. borrowers under the agreement with a first-in last-out facility (the “FILO Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $60.0 million, subject to a borrowing base specific thereto. The U.S. ABL Facility provides for revolving loans available to ATDI, its 100% owned subsidiary Am-Pac Tire Dist. Inc. and any other U.S. subsidiary that the Company designates in the future in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The Canadian ABL Facility provides for revolving loans available to TriCan, RTD and WTD and any other Canadian subsidiaries that the Company designates in the future in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Provided that no default or event of default then exists or would arise therefrom, the Company has the option to request that the ABL Facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $200.0 million (up to $50.0 million of which may be allocated to the Canadian ABL Facility), subject to certain rights of the administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing banks with respect to the lenders providing commitments for such increase. The maturity date for the ABL Facility is November 16, 2017, provided that if on March 1, 2017, either (i) more than $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of ATDI’s Senior Secured Notes remains outstanding or (ii) any principal amount of ATDI’s Senior Secured Notes remains outstanding with a scheduled maturity date which is earlier than 91 days after November 16, 2017 and excess availability under the ABL Facility is less than 12.5% of the aggregate revolving commitments, then the maturity date will be March 1, 2017. The maturity date for the FILO Facility is October 30, 2014. See Note 18 for additional information regarding the amendment to the FILO Facility and the new maturity date.

At December 28, 2013, the Company had $417.1 million outstanding under the U.S. ABL Facility. In addition, the Company had certain letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $8.1 million, leaving $236.1 million available for additional borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility. The outstanding balance of the Canadian ABL Facility at December 28, 2013 was $36.4 million, leaving $41.2 million available for additional borrowings. As of December 28, 2013, the outstanding balance of the FILO Facility was $51.9 million and was classified as long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet as the FILO Facility was refinanced on a long-term basis on January 31, 2014. See Note 18 for additional information.

Borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) an Adjusted LIBOR rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

All obligations under the U.S. ABL Facility and the FILO Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp and TDI. The Canadian ABL Facility is unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. loan parties, TriCan, RTD, WTD and any future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned, material restricted Canadian subsidiaries. Obligations under the U.S. ABL Facility and the FILO Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the U.S. loan parties, subject to certain exceptions. Obligations under the Canadian ABL Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the U.S. loan parties and the Canadian loan parties, subject to certain exceptions.

The ABL Facility and the FILO Facility contain customary covenants, including covenants that restricts the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates or change the Company’s fiscal year. The terms of the ABL Facility and FILO Facility generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of our stock subject to certain exceptions requiring compliance with certain availability levels and fixed charge coverage ratios under the ABL Facility and other customary negotiated exceptions. As of December 28, 2013, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. If the amount available for additional borrowings under the ABL Facility is less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the lesser of (x) the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility and (y) the aggregate borrowing base and (b) $25.0 million, then the Company would be subject to an additional covenant requiring them to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of December 28, 2013, the Company’s additional borrowing availability under the ABL Facility was above the required amount and the Company was therefore not subject to the additional covenants.

Senior Secured Notes

On May 28, 2010, ATDI issued Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Secured Notes”) due June 1, 2017 in an aggregate principal amount at maturity of $250.0 million. The Senior Secured Notes were issued at a discount from their principal amount at maturity and generated net proceeds of approximately $240.7 million after debt issuance costs (which represents a non-cash financing activity of $9.3 million). The Senior Secured Notes will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 10% to an aggregate accreted value of $250.0 million, the full principal amount at maturity. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.75% per annum. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2010. The Senior Secured Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a redemption price of 107.313% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 104.875% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015, 102.438% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2016 and May 31, 2017.

The Senior Secured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp and TDI, subject to certain exceptions. The Senior Secured Notes are also collateralized by a second-priority lien on accounts receivable and related assets and a first-priority lien on substantially all other assets (other than inventory), in each case of Holdings, ATDI and the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

The indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limits ATDI’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; pay

certain dividends or make certain distributions in respect of ATDI’s or repurchase or redeem ATDI’s capital stock; make certain loans, investments or other restricted payments; place restrictions on the ability of ATDI’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to ATDI; engage in transactions with stockholders or affiliates; transfer or sell certain assets; guarantee indebtedness or incur other contingent obligations; incur certain liens; consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of ATDI’s assets; enter into certain transactions with ATDI’s affiliates; and designate ATDI’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. As of December 28, 2013, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Senior Subordinated Notes

See Note 18 regarding a recent amendment to the Senior Subordinated Indenture and the issuance of additional Senior Subordinated Notes.

On May 28, 2010, ATDI issued Senior Subordinated Notes due June 1, 2018 (“Senior Subordinated Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million. The Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 11.50% per annum. Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2010. The Senior Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a redemption price of 104.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 102.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016.

The Senior Subordinated Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp and TDI, subject to certain exceptions.

The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limits ATDI’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; pay certain dividends or make certain distributions in respect of ATDI’s or repurchase or redeem ATDI’s capital stock; make certain loans, investments or other restricted payments; place restrictions on the ability of ATDI’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to ATDI; engage in transactions with stockholders or affiliates; transfer or sell certain assets; guarantee indebtedness or incur other contingent obligations; incur certain liens without securing the Senior Subordinated Notes; consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of ATDI’s assets; enter into certain transactions with ATDI’s affiliates; and designate ATDI’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The terms of the Senior Subordinated Notes generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of our stock subject to certain exceptions such as the amount of 50% of net income (reduced by 100% of net losses) for the period beginning April 4, 2010 and other customary negotiated exceptions. As of December 28, 2013, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Capital Lease Obligations

At December 31, 2011, the Company had a capital lease obligation of $14.1 million, which related to the 2002 sale and subsequent leaseback of three of its owned facilities. Due to continuing involvement with the properties, the Company accounted for the transaction as a direct financing lease and recorded the cash received as a financing obligation. The transaction had an initial lease term of 20 years, followed by two 10 year renewal options. No gain or loss was recognized as a result of the initial sales transaction.

On February 1, 2012, the Company reacquired one of the three facilities included in the 2002 sale-leaseback transaction for $1.5 million. Accordingly, the original lease was amended to extend the lease term on

F-30

ATD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

the two remaining facilities by 5 years as well as to adjust the future lease payments over the remaining 15 years. Per current accounting guidance, the change in the debt terms was not considered substantial. As a result, the Company treated the amendment as a debt modification for accounting purposes and therefore, reduced the financing obligation by the purchase price. Cash payments to the lessor are allocated between interest expense and amortization of the financing obligation. At the end of the lease term, the Company will recognize the sale of the remaining facilities; however, no gain or loss will be recognized as the financing obligation will equal the expected carrying value of the facilities. At December 28, 2013, the outstanding balance of the financing obligation was $12.2 million.

10. Derivative Instruments:

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the risk associated with exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on its variable rate debt. These fluctuations can increase the cost of financing, investing and operating the business. The Company has used derivative financial instruments to help manage this risk and reduce the impacts of these exposures and not for trading or other speculative purposes. All derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value as either assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair value of contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes, and are recognized in net income (loss) in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) at the time earnings are affected by the hedged transaction. For other derivatives, changes in the fair value of the contract are recognized immediately in net income (loss) in the statement of comprehensive income (loss).

On September 4, 2013, the Company entered into a spot interest rate swap and two forward-starting interest rate swaps (collectively the “3Q 2013 Swaps”) each of which are used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The spot interest rate swap in place covers a notional amount of $100.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 1.145% and expires in September 2016. The forward-starting interest rate swaps in place cover an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million, of which $50.0 million becomes effective in September 2014 at a fixed interest rate of 1.464% and will expire in September 2016 and $50.0 million becomes effective in September 2015 at a fixed interest rate of 1.942% and will expire in September 2016. The counterparty to each swap is a major financial institution. The 3Q 2013 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract is recognized in net income (loss) in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

On August 1, 2012, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“3Q 2012 Swaps”) used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The swaps in place cover an aggregate notional amount of $100.00 million, with each $50.0 million contract having a fixed rate of 0.655% and expiring in June 2016. The counterparty to each swap is a major financial institution. The 3Q 2012 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract is recognized in net income (loss) in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

On September 23, 2011, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“3Q 2011 Swaps”) used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The swaps in place cover an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million, of which $50.0 million is at a fixed rate of 0.74% and will expire in September 2014 and $50.0 million is at a fixed rate of 1.0% and will expire in September 2015. The counterpart to each swap is a major financial institution. The 3Q 2011 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract is recognized in net income (loss) in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

ATD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On February 24, 2011, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“1Q 2011 Swaps”) used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The swaps in place covered an aggregate notional amount of $75.0 million, of which $25.0 million was at a fixed interest rate of 0.585% and expired in February 2012. The remaining swap covered an aggregate notional amount of $50.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 1.105% and expired in February 2013. The counterparty to each swap was a major financial institution. Neither swap met the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract were recognized in net income (loss) in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair value hierarchy is comprised of three levels that are described below:

• Level 1—Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

F-32

ATD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

• Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents the fair value and hierarchy levels for the Company’s assets and liabilities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 28, 2013:

	Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using the following methodologies:

• Benefit trust assets—These assets include money market and mutual funds that are the underlying for deferred compensation plan assets, held in a rabbi trust. The fair value of the assets is based on observable market prices quoted in readily accessible and observable markets.

• Derivative instruments—These instruments consist of interest rate swaps. The fair value is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments from a financial institution that is counterparty to the transaction.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis at December 28, 2013 are the same as those used at December 29, 2012. As a result, there have been no transfers between Level 1and Level 2 categories.

12. Employee Benefits:

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718—Compensation, which requires a fair-value based method for measuring the value of stock-based compensation. Fair value is measured once at the date of grant and is not adjusted for subsequent changes. The Company’s stock-based compensation plans include programs for stock options and restricted stock units.

Stock Options

In August 2010, the Company adopted a Management Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), pursuant to which the Company will grant options to selected employees and directors of the Company. The 2010 Plan, which includes both time-based and performance-based awards, was amended on February 15, 2013 by the board of directors of the Company to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock for which stock options may be granted under the 2010 Plan, from 48.6 million to 52.1 million. In addition to the increase in the maximum number of shares, on February 15, 2013 the board of directors of the Company approved the issuance of stock options to certain members of management. The approved options are for the purchase of up to 3.5 million shares of common stock, have an exercise price of $1.20 per share, and vest over a three to five-year vesting period. As of December 28, 2013, the Company has 2.5 million shares available for future incentive awards. See Note 18 regarding a recent amendment to the 2010 Plan and the issuance of stock options subsequent to the year ended December 28, 2013.

Changes in options outstanding under the 2010 Plan are as follows:

	Options Outstanding			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Options Exercisable		Weighted Average Exercise Price

December 28, 2013		49,516,503		$	1.02		27,794,844	$	1.01

As of December 28, 2013, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable was $23.7 million and $13.6 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value is based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $1.50 as of December 28, 2013. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 29, 2012 was less than $0.1 million. No options were exercised during the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 31, 2011. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $5.2 million, $4.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

Options granted under the 2010 Plan expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant and vest based on the passage of time and/or the achievement of certain performance targets in equal installments over three or five years. The weighted-average remaining contractual term for options outstanding and exercisable at December 28, 2013 was 6.9 years and 6.8 years, respectively. The fair value of each of the Company’s time-based stock option awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the three or five-year vesting period of the options. However, for options granted with performance target requirements, compensation expense is recognized when it is probable that both the performance target will be achieved and the requisite service period is satisfied. At December 28, 2013 unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested options granted under the 2010 Plan totaled $7.6 million and the weighted-average period over which this expense will be recognized is 1.3 years.

The weighted average fair value of the stock options granted during the fiscal years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $0.54, $0.50 and $0.44, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used:

	Fiscal Year Ended
	December 28, 2013			December 29, 2012			December 31, 2011
Risk-free interest rate		1.38	%		1.48	%		2.41	%
Dividend yield		—			—			—
Expected life		6.0 years			6.5 years			6.4 years
Volatility		45.39	%		42.81	%		40.75	%

As the Company does not have sufficient historical volatility data for the Company’s own common stock, the stock price volatility utilized in the fair value calculation is based on the Company’s peer group in the industry in which it does business. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award. Because the Company does not have relevant data available regarding the expected life of the award, the expected life of the award is derived from the Simplified Method as allowed under SAB Topic 14.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

In October 2010, the Company adopted the Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (the “2010 RSU Plan”), pursuant to which the Company will grant restricted stock units to non-employee directors of the Company. Upon vesting, these awards entitle the holder to receive one share of common stock for each restricted stock unit granted. The 2010 RSU Plan provides that a maximum of 0.8 million shares of common stock of the Company may be granted to non-employee directors of the Company, of which 0.3 million remain available at December 28, 2013 for future incentive awards. See Note 18 regarding the issuance of RSU’s subsequent to the year ended December 28, 2013.

The following table summarizes RSU activity under the 2010 RSU Plan:

	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding and unvested at January 1, 2011		150,000		$	1.00
Granted		100,000			1.00
Vested		(75,000	)		1.00
Cancelled		—			—
Outstanding and unvested at December 31, 2011		175,000		$	1.00

Cancelled		(21,930	)		1.14
Outstanding and unvested at December 28, 2013		87,719		$	1.14

The fair value of each of the RSU awards is measured as the grant-date price of the common stock and is expensed on a straight- line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the two year vesting period. At December 28, 2013, the Company has recognized all compensation expense related to non-vested RSUs granted under the 2010 RSU Plan as all outstanding and unvested RSUs at December 28, 2013 will vest at the beginning of fiscal 2014.

Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling general and administrative expenses within the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The amount of compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the portion of the granted awards that are expected to vest. Ultimately, the total expense recognized over the vesting period will equal the fair value of the awards as of the grant date that actually vest. The following table summarizes the compensation expense recognized:

	Fiscal Year Ended
In thousands	December 28, 2013		December 29, 2012		December 31, 2011

Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company has a deferred compensation plan for its top executives and divisional employees covered by the executive bonus plan to encourage each participant to promote the long-term interests of the Company. Each participant is allowed to defer portions of their annual salary as well as bonuses received into the plan. In addition to employee deferrals, the Company makes contributions on behalf of its top executives and certain of the divisional employees in varying amounts. The plan provides that an employee who becomes a participant on or before November 23, 1998, shall be fully vested in all amounts credited to such participant’s account. An employee who becomes a participant after November 23, 1998 shall be at all times fully vested in elective deferrals into such participant’s account and, as to contributions made by the Company, shall vest at a rate of twenty percent (20%) per year as long as such participant is an employee on January 1 of each year. The deferred compensation plan may be altered and amended by the Company’s Board of Directors.

At December 28, 2013, the Company’s obligation related to its deferred compensation plan was $3.4 million, recorded in the consolidated balance sheet within other non-current liabilities. At December 29, 2012, the Company’s obligation related to its deferred compensation plan was $2.7 million. The Company provides for funding of the obligation through a Rabbi Trust, which holds various investments, including mutual funds and money market funds. Amounts related to the Rabbi Trust were $3.4 million and $2.7 million at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, and are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets within other non-current assets. Contributions made by the Company on behalf of its employees were less than $0.1 million during fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011.

401(k) Plans

The Company maintains a qualified profit sharing and 401(k) plan for eligible employees. All accounts are funded based on employee contributions to the plan, with the limits of such contributions determined by the Board of Directors. Effective January 1, 2002, the benefit formula for all participants was determined to be a match of 50% of participant contributions, up to 6% of their compensation. The plan also provides for contributions in such amounts as the Board of Directors may annually determine for the profit sharing portion of the plan. Employees vest in the 401(k) match and profit sharing contribution over a 5-year period.

The Company match of participant contributions is recorded within selling, general and administrative expense. For the fiscal years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company contributed $2.8 million, $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

13. Commitments and Contingencies:

Leases

The Company leases land, buildings, equipment and vehicles under various noncancellable operating leases, which expire between 2014 and 2027. Future minimum lease commitments, net of sublease income, at December 28, 2013 are as follows:

In thousands
2014	$	88,941
2015		79,087
2016		68,646
2017		60,772
2018		51,786
Thereafter		175,115
Total	$	524,347

The Company’s rent expense, net of sublease income, under these operating leases was $92.9 million in fiscal 2013, $75.1 million in fiscal 2012 and $59.1 million in fiscal 2011.

On March 27, 2002, the Company completed an agreement for the sale and leaseback of three of its owned facilities. On February 1, 2012, the Company reacquired one of the three facilities included in the 2002 sale-leaseback transaction. Accordingly, the original lease was amended to extend the lease term on the two remaining facilities by 5 years as well as to adjust the future lease payments over the remaining 15 years. The Company reports this transaction as a capital lease using direct financing lease accounting. As such, the Company has a capital lease obligation of $12.2 million at December 28, 2013. See Note 9 for more information on this capital lease. Obligations under the Company’s other capital leases are not material.

The Company remains liable as a guarantor on certain leases related to Winston Tire Company. As of December 28, 2013, the Company’s total obligations, as guarantor on these leases, are approximately $2.0 million extending over five years. However, the Company has secured assignments or sublease agreements for the vast majority of these commitments with contractually assigned or subleased rentals of approximately $1.8 million. A provision has been made for the net present value of the estimated shortfall.

Legal and Tax Proceedings

The Company is involved from time to time in various lawsuits, including class action lawsuits as well as various audits and reviews regarding its federal, state and local tax filings, arising out of the ordinary conduct of its business. Management does not expect that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition. As to tax filings, the Company believes that the various tax filings have been made in a timely fashion and in accordance with applicable federal, state, foregin and local tax code requirements. Additionally, the Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable resolution of any tax disputes, but will adjust its reserves if events so dictate in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Company, the effect will be recorded in accordance with the accounting standards for income taxes. See Note 14 for further description of the accounting standards for income taxes and the related impacts.

 (1) The amount for the year ended December 28, 2013 reflects the lapse of uncertain tax positions for three tax years due to the settlement of an IRS audit during the year.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes and (b) operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. As of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, amounts related to deferred income taxes have been classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as follows:

As part of the acquisition of the Company by TPG, the Company generated substantial tax deductions relating to the exercise of stock options and payments made for transaction expenses. At December 28, 2013, the balance of this acquired non-current deferred tax asset is $5.9 million, which represents the anticipated tax benefits that the Company expects to achieve in future years from such deductions. The remaining net deferred tax liability primarily relates to the expected future tax liability associated with the non-deductible, identified, intangible assets that were recorded during the Merger less existing tax deductible intangibles, assuming an effective tax rate of 39.6%. It is the Company’s intention to indefinitely reinvest all undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries. As these earnings are considered permanently reinvested, no provisions for U.S. federal or state income taxes are required under ASC 740-30. Determination of the amount of unrecognized U.S. federal and state deferred tax liabilities on these unremitted earnings is not practicable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management regularly reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets, and where appropriate, establishes a valuation allowance against them. The Company concluded that certain deferred tax assets related to certain capital losses do not meet the requirement of being more likely than not that they will be realized. As a result, the Company established a valuation allowance against them.

At December 28, 2013, the Company had $1.6 million of NOLs available for federal tax purposes as well as $14.2 million available for state tax purposes. The NOLs are available to offset taxable income in future years and expire between 2014 and 2029. While the Company has generated net losses during the last two years, the Company expects to generate taxable income in future years based on its long-term expected profitability as well as significant unfavorable tax adjustments related to non-deductible, identified intangible assets. Therefore, the Company expects to utilize these NOLs prior to their expiration date.

At December 28, 2013, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $0.7 million, of which $0.4 million is included within accrued expenses and $0.3 million is included within other liabilities within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate is $0.2 million as of December 28, 2013. In addition, $0.5 million related to temporary timing differences.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

In thousands	December 28, 2013			December 29, 2012		December 31, 2011
Beginning balance	$	1,953		$	1,815	$	2,181

Settlements		—			—		—
Reductions for lapse in statute of limitations		(559	)		—		—
Ending balance	$	706		$	1,953	$	1,815

During the next 12 months, management does not believe it is reasonably possible that there will be a significant change in the Company’s uncertain tax benefits.

While the Company believes that it has adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater than the Company’s accrued position. Accordingly, additional provisions of federal and state-related matters could be recorded in the future as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved.

The Company files federal income tax returns, as well as multiple state jurisdiction tax returns. The tax years 2010—2012 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The tax years 2010—2012 remain open to examination by other major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject (primarily Canada and other state and local jurisdictions).

In September 2013, the Internal Revenue Service released final Tangible Property Regulations (the “Final Regulations”). The Final Regulations provide guidance on applying Section 263(a) of the Code to amounts paid to acquire, produce or improve tangible property, as well as rules for materials and supplies (Code Section 162). These regulations contain certain changes from the temporary and proposed tangible property regulations that were issued on December 27, 2011. The Final Regulations are generally effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. In addition, taxpayers are permitted to early adopt the Final Regulations for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the Final Regulations to have a material effect on its results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial condition.

See Note 18 regarding recent equity contribution received from TPG and certain co-investors.

In connection with the Merger on May 28, 2010, TPG and certain co-investors contributed $675.4 million through the purchase of the Company’s common stock. Subsequent to May 28, 2010, certain members of the Company’s management and certain board members purchased common stock in the Company. At December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, these amounts totaled $8.7 million. Accordingly, the Company recorded the basis in these shares in additional paid-in capital.

On November 30, 2012, TPG and certain co-investors contributed $60.0 million through the purchase of 50.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The proceeds from this equity contribution were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of TriCan. Accordingly, the Company recorded the basis in these shares in additional paid-in capital. See Note 3 for additional information on the TriCan acquisition.

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. At December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, 734,168,402 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan for certain eligible employees, in which the obligation is funded through a Rabbi Trust. Unrealized gains and losses on Rabbi Trust assets are recorded net of tax in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and amounted to a gain of $0.2 and $0.1 million at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively.

In addition, gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and amounted to a loss of $9.1 million and $0.3 million at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively.

16. Related Party Transaction:

Upon the closing of the Merger, the Company entered into a transaction and monitoring fee letter agreement with TPG pursuant to which the Company retained TPG to provide certain management, consulting, and financial services to the Company, when and as requested by the Company. The Company agreed to pay TPG a monitoring fee equal to 2.0% of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other adjustments (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The monitoring fee is payable in quarterly installments in arrears at the end of each fiscal quarter. In the event of an initial public offering, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or a change of control transaction, TPG is entitled to receive, on its request and in lieu of any continuing payment of the monitoring fee, an aggregate termination fee of $12.5 million. For the fiscal years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company recorded $5.8 million, $7.4 million and $4.6 million, respectively in expense related to the monitoring fee for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 which is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Kipling Acquisition

On January 17, 2014, TriCan entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Kipling Tire Co. LTD., a corporation governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Kipling”), pursuant to which TriCan agreed to acquire the wholesale distribution business of Kipling. Kipling has operated as a retail-wholesale business since 1982. Kipling’s wholesale business distributes tires from its Etobicoke facilities to approximately 400 retail customers in Southern Ontario. Kipling’s retail operations were not acquired by TriCan and will continue to operate under its current ownership. This acquisition will further strengthen TriCan’s presence in the Southern Ontario region of Canada. The acquisition was completed on January 17, 2014 and was funded through the Company’s Canadian ABL Facility. The Company does not believe the acquisition of Kipling is a material transaction subject to the disclosures and supplemental pro forma information required by ASC 805—Business Combinations. As a result, the information is not presented.

Hercules Acquisition

On January 31, 2014, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 24, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), among ATD Merger Sub II LLC (“Merger Sub”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, ATDI, Hercules Tire Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hercules Holdings”), the equityholders of Hercules Holdings (each a “Seller” and, collectively the “Sellers”) and the Sellers’ Representative, Merger Sub merged with and into Hercules Holdings, with Hercules Holdings being the surviving entity (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Hercules Holdings became an indirect 100% owned subsidiary of Holdings. Hercules Holdings owns all of the capital stock of The Hercules Tire & Rubber Company, a Connecticut corporation (“Hercules”). Hercules Holdings has no material assets or operations other than its ownership of Hercules. Hercules is engaged in the business of purchasing, marketing, distributing and selling replacement tires for passenger cars, trucks, and certain off road vehicles to tire dealers, wholesale distributors, retail distributors and others in the United States, Canada and internationally. Hercules operated 15 distribution centers in the United States, 6 distribution centers in Canada and one warehouse in northern China. Hercules also markets the Hercules brand, which is one of the most sought-after proprietary tire brands in the industry. The acquisition of Hercules will strengthen the Company’s presence in major markets such as California, Texas and Florida in addition to increasing its presence in Canada. Additionally, Hercules’ strong logistics and sourcing capabilities, including a long-standing presence in China, will also allow the Company to capitalize on the growing import market, as well as, providing the ability to expand the international sales of the

Hercules brand. Finally, this acquisition, will allow the Company to be a brand marketer of the Hercules brand which today has a 2% market share of the passenger and light truck market in North America and a 3% share of highway truck tires in North America.

The acquisition closed for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $319.3 million (the “Hercules Closing Purchase Price”), consisting of net cash consideration of $310.4 million, contingent consideration of $3.5 million and non-cash consideration for debt assumed of $5.4 million. The Hercules Closing Purchase Price includes an estimate for initial working capital adjustments. The Merger Agreement provides for the payment of up to $6.5 million in additional consideration contingent upon the occurrence of certain post-closing events (to the extent payable, the “Hercules Additional Purchase Price” and, collectively with the Hercules Closing Purchase Price, the “Hercules Purchase Price”). The cash consideration paid for the Merger was funded by a combination of the issuance of additional Senior Subordinated Notes, as more fully described below, an equity contribution of $50.0 million from Holdings’ indirect parent, and borrowings under the Company’s credit agreement. The Hercules Closing Purchase Price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including, but not limited to, working capital adjustments.

The Merger was recorded during the quarter ended April 5, 2014 using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with current accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. As a result, the Hercules Closing Purchase Price has been preliminarily allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. The preliminary allocation of the Hercules Closing Purchase Price is as follows:

In thousands
Cash	$	12,187
Accounts receivable		61,610
Inventory		156,652
Other current assets		5,064
Property and equipment		29,970
Intangible assets		155,704
Total assets acquired		421,187
Accounts payable		95,616
Accrued and other liabilities		6,154
Deferred income taxes		69,872
Other liabilities		2,325
Total liabilities assumed		173,967
Net assets acquired		247,220
Goodwill		72,082
Purchase price	$	319,302

The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill for the Company’s quarter ended April 5, 2014, and amounted to $72.1 million. The premium in the purchase price for the Merger primarily relates to growth opportunities associated with the Hercules brand and the anticipated realization of operational and cost synergies.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable were stated at their historical carrying values, which approximate their fair value, given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Inventory was recorded at fair value, based on computations which considered many factors including the estimated selling price of the inventory, the cost to dispose the inventory as well as the replacement cost of the inventory, where applicable.

The Company recorded intangible assets during the quarter ended April 5, 2014 based on their estimated fair value which consisted of the following:

In thousands	Estimated Useful Life		Estimated Fair Value
Customer list		18 years	$	147,216
Trade names		15 years		8,488
Total			$	155,704

The Company determined the fair value of the intangible assets acquired based on a third-party valuation report. The independent third party valuation firm utilized the excess earnings method, a derivation of the income approach, to determine the fair value of the customer list intangible asset. The excess earnings method estimates the discounted net earnings attributable to the customer relationships that were acquired after considering items such as possible customer attrition. Based on the length and trend of projected cash flows, an estimated useful life of 18 years was determined. The length of the projected cash flow period was determined by how quickly the customer relationships attrit based on the Company’s historical experience in renewing and extending similar customer relationships and future expectations for renewing and extending similar existing customer relationships and represents the number of years over which the Company expects the customer relationships to economically contribute to the business. This estimate is based on the year in which 95.0% of the annual discounted cash flows were captured in the value of the customer list intangible asset.

Terry’s Tire Acquisition

On March 28, 2014, ATDI completed its acquisition of Terry’s Tire Town Holdings, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Terry’s Tire” and such acquisition, the “Terry’s Tire Acquisition”). The Terry’s Tire Acquisition was completed pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) entered into on February 17, 2014 between ATDI and TTT Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Terry’s Tire and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of purchasing, marketing, distributing and selling tires, wheels and related tire and wheel accessories on a wholesale basis to tire dealers, wholesale distributors, retail chains, automotive dealers and others, retreading tires and selling retread and other commercial tires through commercial outlets to end users and selling tires directly to consumers via the internet. Terry’s Tire operated 10 distribution centers spanning from Virginia to Maine and in Ohio. The acquisition of Terry’s Tire will enhance the Company’s market position in these areas and aligns very well with their distribution centers, especially the new distribution centers opened by the Company over the past two years in the Northeast and Ohio.

The Terry’s Tire acquisition closed for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $378.1 million (the “Terry’s Tire Purchase Price”), consisting of cash consideration of approximately $363.4 million, contingent consideration of $12.5 million and non-cash consideration for debt assumed of $2.2 million. The cash consideration paid for the Terry’s Tire Acquisition included estimated working capital adjustments and a portion of consideration contingent on certain events achieved prior to closing. The Terry’s Tire Purchase Price was funded by a combination of borrowings under a new senior secured term loan facility, as more fully described below, and borrowings of approximately $72.5 million under the Company’s existing U.S. ABL Facility. The Terry’s Tire Purchase Price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including but not limited to, working capital adjustments. Of the $363.4 million in cash consideration, $41.4 million is held in escrow pending the resolution of the post-closing adjustments and other escrow release conditions in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and escrow agreement.

The acquisition of Terry’s Tire was recorded during the quarter ended April 5, 2014 using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with current accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company is in the process of finalizing intangible asset valuations as well as continuing to evaluate the initial purchase price allocation. Accordingly, management has used its best estimates in the allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated preliminary fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. As additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period, the Company expects to refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price more accurately. The preliminary allocation of the Terry’s Tire Purchase Price is as follows:

The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill for the Company’s quarter ended April 5, 2014, and amounted to $90.3 million. The premium in the purchase price paid for the acquisition of Terry’s Tire primarily reflects the anticipated realization of operational and cost synergies.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable were stated at their historical carrying values, which approximate their fair value, given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Inventory was recorded at fair value, based on computations which considered many factors including the estimated selling price of the inventory, the cost to dispose the inventory as well as the replacement cost of the inventory, where applicable.

During the quarter ended April 5, 2014, the Company recorded a finite-lived customer list intangible asset based on its estimated fair value of $201.0 million. The Company determined the fair value of the intangible assets acquired based on a third-party valuation report. The independent third party valuation firm utilized the excess earnings method, a derivation of the income approach, to determine the fair value of the customer list intangible asset. The excess earnings method estimates the discounted net earnings attributable to the customer relationships that were acquired after considering items such as possible customer attrition. Based on the length and trend of projected cash flows, an estimated useful life of 18 years was determined. The length of the projected cash flow period was determined by how quickly the customer relationships attrit based on the

Company’s historical experience in renewing and extending similar customer relationships and future expectations for renewing and extending similar existing customer relationships and represents the number of years over which the Company expects the customer relationships to economically contribute to the business. This estimate is based on the year in which 95.0% of the annual discounted cash flows were captured in the value of the customer list intangible asset. The estimated useful life of the customer list intangible asset is based on the Company’s internal estimates to be finalized when the third-party intangible asset valuations are completed.

As part of the acquisition of Terry’s Tire, the Company acquired Terry’s Tire’s commercial and retread businesses. As the Company’s core business does not include commercial and retread operations, the Company decided that it would divest of these businesses. As it is management’s intention to divest the commercial and retread businesses during fiscal 2014 and as all held for sale criteria has been met, the related assets and liabilities of the commercial and retread businesses were classified as held for sale at the acquisition date. As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the estimated fair value of the assets held for sale was $3.3 million, including $2.5 million in current assets and net property and equipment of $0.8 million. The estimated fair value of the liabilities held for sale was $0.4 million of which the entire amount related to current liabilities. As additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period, the Company expects to refine its estimate of the fair values related to these assets and liabilities.

Amendment of Senior Subordinated Indenture

On January 31, 2014, ATDI entered into the Sixth Supplemental Indenture (the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture”) with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”) and the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) to the Subordinated Notes Indenture, dated as of May 28, 2010, among ATDI, the guarantors party thereto and the Trustee (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Subordinated Indenture”) relating to the $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 of ATDI initially issued on May 28, 2010 (the “Initial Subordinated Notes”). ATDI received consents from a 100% of the holders of the Initial Subordinated Notes and accepted such consents. The amendments included in the Sixth Supplemental Indenture provide for ATDI’s ability to incur additional senior debt under the Subordinated Indenture under certain circumstances.

Subordinated Notes Offering

In connection with the consummation of the Hercules Merger, on January 31, 2014, ATDI completed the sale to certain purchasers of $225.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Additional Subordinated Notes”). The net proceeds to ATDI from the sale of the Additional Subordinated Notes was approximately $221.1 million.

The Additional Subordinated Notes were issued pursuant to the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 31, 2014, among ATDI, the Guarantors and the Trustee (the “Seventh Supplemental Indenture”) to the Senior Subordinated Indenture. The Additional Subordinated Notes have identical terms to the Initial Subordinated Notes, except the Additional Subordinated Notes will accrue interest from January 31, 2014. The Additional Subordinated Notes and the Initial Subordinated Notes will be treated as a single class of securities for all purposes under the Subordinated Indenture. However, the Additional Subordinated Notes will be issued with separate CUSIP numbers from the Initial Subordinated Notes and will not be fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the Initial Subordinated Notes.

Interest on the Additional Subordinated Notes will be paid semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 2014. The Additional Subordinated Notes will mature on June 1, 2018. The Additional Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a redemption price of 104.0% of the principal amount if the redemption rate occurs between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 102.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs on June 1, 2015 or thereafter.

Credit Agreement Amendment

Also in connection with the Hercules Merger, on January 31, 2014, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment (1) increases the aggregate principal amount available under the Canadian ABL Facility from $100.0 million to $125.0 million, subject to the Canadian borrowing base, (2) increases the aggregate principal amount available under the U.S. first-in last-out facility (the “U.S. FILO Facility”) from $60.0 million to $80.0 million, subject to the borrowing base specific thereto as modified by the Second Amendment (3) extends the maturity date for the U.S. FILO Facility to 36 months from January 31, 2014, (4) increases the inventory advance rate under the U.S. FILO Facility borrowing base from 7.5% to 10.0% of net orderly liquidation value, and (5) provides the Canadian Borrowers under the agreement with a new first-in last-out facility (the “Canadian FILO Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million, subject to a borrowing base specific thereto. The Canadian FILO borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of (i) 5% of eligible accounts receivable of the Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus (ii) 10.0% of the net orderly liquidation value of the eligible tire and non-tire inventory of the Canadian loan parties, as applicable. The maturity date for the Canadian FILO Facility is the date that is 36 months from January 31, 2014. Hercules, and certain of its subsidiaries, was made a party to, and its equity interests were pledged as collateral under, the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement upon closing of the Merger. The Second Amendment also made certain other changes to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment did not change the maturity dates of the U.S. ABL Facility or the Canadian ABL Facility or the material terms under which either facility may be accelerated or the U.S. ABL Facility may be increased. Approximately $40.4 million, net of cash received in the Merger, was drawn under the U.S. ABL Facility to finance a portion of the Hercules Closing Purchase Price. Immediately following the closing of the Merger, $5.6 million was drawn on the Canadian FILO Facility with a corresponding decrease to the Canadian ABL Facility.

Senior Secured Term Loan

In connection with the acquisition of Terry’s Tire, on March 28, 2014, ATDI entered into a credit agreement that provided for a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan was issued at a discount of 0.25% which, combined with certain debt issuance costs paid at closing, resulted in net proceeds of approximately $290.9 million. The Term Loan will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 6% to an aggregate accreted value of $300.0 million, the full principal amount at maturity. The net proceeds from the Term Loan were used to finance a portion of the Terry’s Tire Purchase Price. The maturity date for the Term Loan is June 1, 2018.

Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, initially, either (a) a Eurodollar rate determined by reference to LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 4.75% or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the federal funds rate plus  ¹⁄₂ of 1%, (2) the prime commercial lending rate published by the Bank of America, N.A. as its “prime rate” for commercial loans and (3) the one month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, plus an applicable margin of 3.75%. The Eurodollar rate is subject to an interest rate floor of 1.0%. The applicable margins under the Term Loan are subject to a step down based on a consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement.

All obligations under the Term Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and, subject to certain customary exceptions, all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material subsidiaries. Obligations under the Term Loan are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all property, assets and capital stock of ATDI except accounts receivable, inventory and related intangible assets and a second-priority lien on all accounts receivable and related intangible assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Term Loan contains customary covenants, including covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, create liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates, change the nature of the Company’s business or change the Company’s fiscal year.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Company is required to repay the Term Loan in certain circumstances, including with 50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% and 0%, as applicable, subject to attaining certain senior secured net leverage ratios) of its annual excess cash flow, as defined in the Term Loan agreement. The Term Loan also contains repayments provision related to non-ordinary course asset or property sales when certain conditions are met, and related to the incurrence of debt that is not permitted under the agreement.

Amendment of Management Equity Incentive Plan and Issuance of Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units

On April 28, 2014, the board of directors of the Company amended the Management Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2010 Plan, to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company for which stock options may be granted under the 2010 Plan from 52.1 million to 54.4 million. In addition to the increase in the maximum number of shares, on April 28, 2014 the board of directors of the Company approved the issuance of stock options to certain members of management and the issuance of restricted stock units to the non-employee directors of the Company. The approved stock options are for the purchase of up to 4.5 million shares of common stock, have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and vest over a two-year vesting period. The approved restricted stock units are for the issuance of up to 0.1 million shares of common stock, have a grant date fair value of $1.50 per share and vest over a two-year vesting period.

On June 16, 2014, the Company amended its credit agreement relating to its senior secured term loan facility to borrow an additional $340 million on the same terms as our existing Term Loan. Pursuant to the amendment, until August 15, 2014, the Company also has the right to borrow up to an additional $80 million on the same terms as its existing Term Loan. The proceeds from these additional borrowings were or will be used to redeem all amounts outstanding under the Company’s Senior Secured Notes and pay related fees and expenses, as well as for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of potential future acquisitions.

1. Nature of Business:

ATD Corporation (also referred to herein as “ATD Corp” and formerly Accelerate Parent Corp.) is a Delaware corporation that indirectly owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), a Delaware corporation. Holdings owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of American Tire Distributors, Inc. (“ATDI”), a Delaware corporation. ATD Corp has no significant assets or operations other than its ownership of ATDI. The operations of ATDI and its subsidiaries constitute the operations of ATD Corp presented under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. ATDI is primarily engaged in the wholesale distribution of tires, custom wheels and accessories, and related tire supplies and tools. Its customer base is comprised primarily of independent tire dealers with the remainder of other customers representing various national and corporate accounts. ATDI serves a majority of the contiguous United States, as well as Canada, through one operating and reportable segment. Unless the context otherwise requires, “Company” herein refers to ATD Corp and its consolidated subsidiaries. In June 2014, the Company changed its name from Accelerate Parent Corp. to ATD Corporation. On May 28, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2010, the Company was acquired by TPG Capital, L.P. (“TPG” or the “Sponsor”) and certain co-investors (the “TPG Merger”).

2. Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated unaudited results for the interim periods presented. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.

The Company’s fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Therefore, the financial results of 53-week fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarter, will not be comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years and the associated quarters having only 13 weeks. The quarters ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013 each contain operating results for 13 weeks. The six months ended July 5, 2014 contains 27 weeks while the six months ended June 29, 2013 contains 26 weeks. It should be noted that the Company and its recently acquired subsidiaries, Hercules, Terry’s Tire, Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary, all as defined below, have different quarter-end reporting dates. Each of these acquired subsidiaries has a June 30 quarter-end reporting date. There were no significant changes to the business subsequent to their fiscal period ends that would have a material impact on the condensed consolidated balance sheet or condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) as of and for the quarter and six months ended July 5, 2014.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The Company adopted this guidance on December 29, 2013 (the first day of its 2014 fiscal year) and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

F-56

(Unaudited)

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” (“ASU 2014-08”). Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that have a major effect on the company’s operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, ASU 2014-08 requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. However, ASU 2014-08 should not be applied to a component that is classified as held for sale before the effective date even if the component is disposed of after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statement previously issued. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2018 and, at that time the Company may adopt the new standard under the full retrospective method or the modified retrospective method. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-08 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

On March 28, 2014, ATDI completed its acquisition of Terry’s Tire Town Holdings, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Terry’s Tire” and such acquisition, the “Terry’s Tire Acquisition”). The Terry’s Tire Acquisition was completed pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) entered into on February 17, 2014 between ATDI and TTT Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Terry’s Tire and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of purchasing, marketing, distributing and selling tires, wheels and related tire and wheel accessories on a wholesale basis to tire dealers, wholesale distributors, retail chains, automotive dealers and others, retreading tires and selling retread and other commercial tires through commercial outlets to end users and selling tires directly to consumers via the internet. Terry’s Tire operated 10 distribution centers spanning from Virginia to Maine and in Ohio. The acquisition of Terry’s Tire will enhance the Company’s market position in these areas and aligns very well with their distribution centers, especially the new distribution centers opened by the Company over the past two years in the Northeast and Ohio.

The Terry’s Tire acquisition closed for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $372.7 million (the “Terry’s Tire Purchase Price”), consisting of cash consideration of approximately $358.0 million, contingent consideration of $12.5 million and non-cash consideration for debt assumed of $2.2 million. The cash consideration paid for the Terry’s Tire Acquisition included estimated working capital adjustments and a portion of consideration contingent on certain events achieved prior to closing. During second quarter 2014, the Company finalized the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement. This adjustment decreased the Terry’s Tire Purchase Price by $5.4 million to $372.7 million with a corresponding decrease to goodwill of $5.4 million. The Terry’s Tire Purchase Price was funded by a combination of borrowings under a new senior secured term loan facility, as more fully described in Note 9, and borrowings of approximately $72.5 million under Holdings’ existing U.S. ABL Facility. The Terry’s Tire Purchase Price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including but not limited to, working capital adjustments. Of the $358.0 million in cash consideration, $41.4 million is held in escrow pending the resolution of the post-closing adjustments and other escrow release conditions in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and escrow agreement.

On January 31, 2014, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 24, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), among ATD Merger Sub II LLC (“Merger Sub”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, ATDI, Hercules Tire Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hercules Holdings”), the equityholders of Hercules Holdings (each a “Seller” and, collectively the “Sellers”) and the Sellers’ Representative, Merger Sub merged with and into Hercules Holdings, with Hercules Holdings being the surviving entity (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Hercules Holdings became an indirect 100% owned subsidiary of Holdings. Hercules Holdings owns all of the capital stock of The Hercules Tire & Rubber Company, a Connecticut corporation (“Hercules”). Hercules Holdings has no material assets or operations other than its ownership of Hercules. Hercules is engaged in the business of purchasing, marketing, distributing and selling after-market replacement tires for passenger cars, trucks, and certain off road vehicles to tire dealers, wholesale distributors, retail distributors and others in the United States, Canada and internationally. Hercules operated 15 distribution centers in the United States, 6 distribution centers in Canada and one warehouse in northern China. Hercules also markets the Hercules brand, which is one of the most sought-after proprietary tire brands in the industry. The acquisition of Hercules will strengthen the Company’s presence in major markets such as California, Texas and Florida in addition to increasing its presence in Canada. Additionally, Hercules’ strong logistics and sourcing capabilities, including a long-standing presence in China, will also allow the Company to capitalize on the growing import market, as well as, providing the ability to expand the international sales of the Hercules brand. Finally, this acquisition, will allow the Company to be a brand marketer of the Hercules brand which today has a 2% market share of the passenger and light truck market in North America and a 3% share of highway truck tires in North America.

The Merger closed for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $318.9 million (the “Hercules Closing Purchase Price”), consisting of net cash consideration of $310.0 million, contingent consideration of $3.5 million and non-cash consideration for debt assumed of $5.4 million. The Hercules Closing Purchase Price includes an estimate for initial working capital adjustments. During second quarter 2014, the Company finalized the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the Merger Agreement. This adjustment decreased the Hercules Closing Purchase Price by $0.4 million to $318.9 million with a corresponding decrease to goodwill of $0.4 million. The Merger Agreement provides for the payment of up to $6.5 million in additional consideration contingent upon the occurrence of certain post-closing events (to the extent payable, the “Hercules Additional Purchase Price” and, collectively with the Hercules Closing Purchase Price, the “Hercules Purchase Price”). The cash consideration paid for the Merger was funded by a combination of the issuance of additional Senior Subordinated Notes, as more fully described in Note 9, an equity contribution of $50.0 million from Holdings’ indirect parent, as more fully described in Note 14 and borrowings under Holdings’ credit agreement, as more fully described in Note 9. The Hercules Closing Purchase Price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including, but not limited to, working capital adjustments.

On January 17, 2014, TriCan entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Kipling Tire Co. LTD., a corporation governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Kipling”), pursuant to which TriCan agreed to acquire the wholesale distribution business of Kipling. Kipling has operated as a retail-wholesale business since 1982. Kipling’s wholesale business distributes tires from its Etobicoke facilities to approximately 400 retail customers in Southern Ontario. Kipling’s retail operations were not acquired by TriCan and will continue to operate under its current ownership. This acquisition will further strengthen TriCan’s presence in the Southern Ontario region of Canada. The acquisition was completed on January 17, 2014 and was funded through the Company’s Canadian ABL Facility. The Company does not believe the acquisition of Kipling is a material transaction subject to the disclosures and supplemental pro forma information required by ASC 805—Business Combinations. As a result, the information is not presented.

The acquisitions of Trail Tire, Extreme, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton, RTD Calgary, Terry’s Tire and Hercules (collectively the “2014 Acquisitions”) were recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with current accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company is in the process of finalizing intangible asset valuations as well as continuing to evaluate the initial purchase price allocation for each of the 2014 Acquisitions with the exception of Hercules. Accordingly, management has used its best estimates in the allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated preliminary fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of each acquisition. As additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period, the Company expects to refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price for the 2014 Acquisitions, with the exception of Hercules, more accurately. As of July 5, 2014, the purchase price allocation for Hercules is final. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price for each of the 2014 Acquisitions is as follows:

The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill. The premium in the purchase price paid for the 2014 Acquisitions primarily reflects growth opportunities from expanding the Company’s distribution footprint into Western Canada and through the anticipated realization of operational and cost synergies. In addition, growth opportunities associated with the Hercules^® brand also contributed to the premium in the purchase price paid for the Hercules acquisition.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable were stated at their historical carrying values, which approximate their fair value, given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Inventory was recorded at fair value, based on computations which considered many factors including the estimated selling price of the inventory, the cost to dispose the inventory as well as the replacement cost of the inventory, where applicable.

(1) Estimated useful lives range from sixteen to eighteen years.

(2) Esimated useful life is fifteen years

(3) Esimated useful lives range from four to five years.

The Company utilized the excess earnings method, a derivation of the income approach, as well as the assistance of a third-party valuation report for certain acquisitions, to determine the fair value of the customer list intangible assets. The excess earnings method estimates the discounted net earnings attributable to the customer relationships that were acquired after considering items such as possible customer attrition. Based on the length and trend of projected cash flows, an estimated useful life of eighteen years was determined. The length of the projected cash flow period was determined by how quickly the customer relationships attrit based on the Company’s historical experience in renewing and extending similar customer relationships and future expectations for renewing and extending similar existing customer relationships and represents the number of years over which the Company expects the customer relationships to economically contribute to the business. This estimate is based on the year in which 95.0% of the annual discounted cash flows were captured in the value of the customer list intangible asset. As of the date of this report, the Company is in the process of obtaining third-party valuations for the fair value of the intangible assets acquired from Trail Tire, Extreme, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary. Accordingly, the preliminary allocation for these acquisitions reflects management’s best estimate of fair value using the excess earnings method.

As part of the acquisition of Terry’s Tire, the Company acquired Terry’s Tire’s commercial and retread businesses. As the Company’s core business does not include commercial and retread operations, the Company decided that it would divest of these businesses. As it is management’s intention to divest the commercial and retread businesses during fiscal 2014 and as all held for sale criteria has been met, the related assets, including the allocation of purchase price, and the related liabilities of the commercial and retread businesses are classified as held for sale within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the estimated fair value of the assets held for sale was $5.8 million, including $4.5 million in current assets, net property and equipment of $0.8 million and goodwill of $0.5 million. The estimated fair value of the liabilities held for sale was $0.3 million of which the entire amount related to current liabilities. As additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period, the Company expects to refine its estimate of the fair values related to these assets and liabilities.

The 2014 Acquisitions contributed net sales of approximately $265.5 million to the Company for the six months ended July 5, 2014. Net loss contributed by the 2014 Acquisitions during the six months ended July 5, 2014 was approximately $25.9 million which included non-cash amortization of the inventory step-up of $31.6 million and non-cash amortization expense on acquired intangible assets of $11.5 million.

individual resident in the Province of Ontario (“Allan”) and The Bishop Company Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“BishopCo”) (Allan and BishopCo each, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which TriCan agreed to acquire from the Sellers all of the issued and outstanding shares of WTD. WTD operated two distribution centers serving over 2,300 customers. The acquisition of WTD strengthened the Company’s market presence in the Southern Ontario region of Canada. The acquisition was completed on December 13, 2013 and was funded through cash on hand. The Company does not believe the acquisition of WTD is a material transaction, individually or when aggregated with the other non-material acquisitions discussed herein, subject to the disclosures and supplemental pro forma information required by ASC 805—Business Combinations. As a result, the information is not presented.

The acquisition of WTD was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. The purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. A majority of the net assets acquired relate to a customer list intangible asset, which had an acquisition date fair value of $4.4 million. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill, and amounted to $1.2 million. The premium in the purchase price paid for the acquisition of WTD reflects the anticipated realization of operational and cost synergies.

On August 30, 2013, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Tire Distributors, Inc. (“TDI”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of TDI. TDI operated one distribution center serving over 1,700 customers across Maryland and northeastern Virginia. The acquisition was completed on August 30, 2013 and was funded through the Company’s ABL Facility. The Company does not believe the acquisition of TDI is a material transaction, individually or when aggregated with the other non-material acquisitions discussed herein, subject to the disclosures and supplemental pro forma information required by ASC 805—Business Combinations. As a result, the information is not presented.

The acquisition of TDI was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. The purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. A majority of the net assets acquired relate to a customer list intangible asset, which had an acquisition date fair value of $3.4 million. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill, and amounted to $2.4 million. The premium in the purchase price paid for the acquisition of TDI reflects the anticipated realization of operational and cost synergies.

On March 22, 2013, TriCan and ATDI entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Regional Tire Holdings Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Holdco”), Regional Tire Distributors Inc. (“RTD”), a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario and a 100% owned subsidiary of Holdco, and the shareholders of Holdco, pursuant to which TriCan agreed to acquire from the shareholders of Holdco all of the issued and outstanding shares of Holdco for a purchase price of $62.5 million. Holdco has no significant assets or operations other than its ownership of RTD. The operations of RTD constitute the operations of Holdco. RTD is a wholesale distributor of tires, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment in the Ontario and Atlantic provinces of Canada. The acquisition of RTD significantly expanded the Company’s presence in the Ontario and Atlantic Provinces of Canada and complemented the Company’s current operations in Canada.

The acquisition of RTD was completed on April 30, 2013 for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $64.9 million (the “Adjusted Purchase Price”) which includes initial working capital adjustments.

The acquisition of RTD was funded by borrowings under the Company’s ABL Facility and FILO Facility, as more fully described in Note 9. The Adjusted Purchase Price was subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including, but not limited to, the finalization of working capital adjustments. Of the $64.9 million Adjusted Purchase Price, $6.3 million is held in escrow pending the resolution of the post-closing adjustments and other escrow release conditions in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement and escrow agreement. During third quarter 2013, the Company and the shareholders of Holdco agreed on the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement. This adjustment increased the Adjusted Purchase Price by $1.0 million to $65.9 million with a corresponding increase to goodwill of $1.0 million.

The acquisition of RTD was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with current accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. As a result, the Adjusted Purchase Price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. The allocation of the Adjusted Purchase Price is as follows:

In thousands
Cash	$	904
Accounts receivable		10,093
Inventory		21,685
Other current assets		998
Property and equipment		1,050
Intangible assets		42,990
Other assets		52
Total assets acquired		77,772
Debt		—
Accounts payable		7,817
Accrued and other liabilities		12,740
Deferred income taxes		11,692
Total liabilities assumed		32,249
Net assets acquired		45,523
Goodwill		20,375
Purchase price	$	65,898

The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill, and amounted to $20.4 million. The premium in the purchase price paid for the acquisition of RTD primarily relates to growth opportunities from expanding the Company’s distribution footprint into Eastern Canada and through operating synergies available via the consolidation of certain distribution centers in Eastern Canada.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable were stated at their historical carrying values, which approximate their fair value, given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Inventory was recorded at fair value, based on computation which considered many factors including the estimated selling price of the inventory, the cost to dispose the inventory as well as the replacement cost of the inventory, where applicable.

The pro forma supplementary data for the quarters ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013 includes $3.9 million and $11.1 million, respectively, as an increase to historical amortization expense as a result of acquired intangible assets while the six months ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013 includes $13.1 million and $22.6 million, respectively. In addition, the pro forma supplementary data for the quarters ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013 includes $1.3 million and $9.6 million, respectively, as an increase to historical interest expense as a result of the issuance of the additional Senior Subordinated Notes and the new senior secured term loan facility, as more fully described in Note 9, while the six months ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013 includes $6.9 million and $19.7 million, respectively. For the quarter and six months ended July 5, 2014, the Company has included a reduction in non-recurring historical transaction expenses of $10.7 million and $42.9 million, respectively. These transaction expenses were incurred prior to the acquisition of Hercules and Terry’s Tire and they are directly related to the acquisitions and are non-recurring. Additionally, for the quarter and six months ended July 5, 2014, the Company has included a reduction in historical cost of goods sold of $12.5 million and $31.5 million, respectively. The reduction in cost of goods sold relates to the elimination of the non-cash amortization of the inventory step-up recorded in connection with the Hercules and Terry’s Tire acquisitions as this amortization is directly related to the acquisitions and non-recurring.

5. Inventories:

Inventories consist primarily of automotive tires, custom wheels and accessories and tire supplies and tools. Reported amounts are valued at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, or

fair market value. The Company performs periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow-moving and non-saleable inventories and records necessary provisions to reduce such inventories to net realizable value. A majority of the Company’s tire vendors allow for the return of tire products, subject to certain limitations, specified in supply arrangements with the vendors. In addition, the Company’s inventory is collateral under the ABL Facility and the FILO Facility. See Note 9 for further information.

As a result of the TriCan acquisition in November 2012, the RTD, TDI and WTD acquisitions in fiscal 2013 and the 2014 Acquisitions, the carrying value of the acquired inventory was increased by $6.3 million, $2.7 million, $0.2 million, $0.5 million, and $34.4 million, respectively, to adjust to estimated fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations. The step-up in inventory value for each acquisition was amortized into cost of goods sold over the period of the Company’s normal inventory turns, which approximates two months. Amortization of the inventory step-up included in cost of goods sold in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the quarter and six months ended July 5, 2014 was $12.5 million and $31.6 million, respectively, while amortization for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2013 was $2.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively.

6. Assets Held for Sale:

In accordance with current accounting standards, the Company classifies assets as held for sale in the period in which all held for sale criteria is met. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell and are no longer depreciated. During third quarter 2013, the Company classified a facility located in Georgia as held for sale. The facility was previously used as a distribution center within the Company’s operations until its activities were relocated to an expanded facility. During the quarter ended July 5, 2014, the Company received $0.4 million in cash for the sale of this facility.

As part of the Terry’s Tire acquisition, the Company acquired Terry’s Tire’s commercial and retread businesses. See Note 4 for additional information regarding this acquisition. As it is management’s intention to divest the commercial and retread businesses during fiscal 2014 and as all held for sale criteria has been met, the related assets and liabilities of the commercial and retread businesses are classified as held for sale within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of July 5, 2014, the carrying value of the assets held for sale for these businesses was $5.5 million, including $4.2 million in current assets, net property and equipment of $0.8 million and goodwill of $0.5 million.

7. Goodwill:

The Company records as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Once the final valuation has been performed for each acquisition, adjustments may be recorded. Goodwill is tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

• 85% of eligible accounts receivable of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus

• The lesser of (a) 70% of the lesser of cost or market value of eligible tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus

• The lesser of (a) 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable.

The U.S. FILO and the Canadian FILO borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of:

• 5% of eligible accounts receivable of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus

• 10% of the net orderly liquidation value of the eligible tire and non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable.

All obligations under the U.S. ABL Facility and the U.S. FILO Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp. The Canadian ABL Facility and the Canadian FILO Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. loan parties, TriCan and any future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned, material restricted Canadian subsidiaries. Obligations under the U.S. ABL Facility and the U.S. FILO Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the U.S. loan parties, subject to certain exceptions. Obligations under the Canadian ABL Facility and the Canadian FILO Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets of the U.S. loan parties and the Canadian loan parties and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the U.S. loan parties and the Canadian loan parties, subject to certain exceptions.

The ABL Facility and FILO Facility contain customary covenants, including covenants that restricts the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates or change the Company’s fiscal year. The terms of the ABL Facility and FILO Facility generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of the Company’s stock subject to certain exceptions requiring compliance with certain availability levels and fixed charge coverage ratios under the ABL Facility and other customary negotiated exceptions. As of July 5, 2014, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. If the amount available for additional borrowings under the ABL Facility is less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the lesser of (x) the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility and (y) the aggregate borrowing base and (b) $25.0 million, then the Company would be subject to an additional covenant requiring them to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of July 5, 2014, the Company’s additional borrowing availability under the ABL Facility was above the required amount and the Company was therefore not subject to the additional covenants.

Senior Secured Term Loan

In connection with the acquisition of Terry’s Tire, on March 28, 2014, ATDI entered into a credit agreement that provided for a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Initial Term Loan”). The Initial Term Loan was issued at a discount of 0.25% which, combined with certain debt issuance costs paid at closing, resulted in net proceeds of approximately $290.9 million. The Initial Term Loan will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 6% to an aggregate accreted value of $300.0 million, the full principal amount at maturity. The net proceeds from the Initial Term Loan were used to finance a portion of the Terry’s Tire Purchase Price.

On June 16, 2014, ATDI amended the Initial Term Loan (the “Incremental Amendment”) to borrow an additional $340.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loan”) on the same terms as the Initial Term Loan. Pursuant to

F-71

ATD Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

the Incremental Amendment, until August 15, 2014 ATDI also has the right to borrow up to an additional $80.0 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan” and collectively with the Initial Term Loan and the Incremental Term Loan, the “Term Loan”) on the same terms as the Initial Term Loan. The proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan, net of related debt issuance costs paid at closing, amounted to approximately $335.7 million, and were used, in part, to redeem all $250.0 million aggregate principal amounts of notes outstanding under ATDI’s Senior Secured Notes and related fees and expenses as more fully described below, and the remaining proceeds will be used for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of potential future acquisitions. The Company received the proceeds from the Delayed Draw Term Loan at the end of the second quarter of 2014. The maturity date for the Term Loan is June 1, 2018. During the six months ended July 5, 2014, the Company paid $13.8 million in debt issuance cost related to the Term Loan.

Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a Eurodollar rate determined by reference to LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 475 basis points or (b) 375 basis points over an alternative base rate determined by reference of the higher of the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, the prime rate and 100 basis points over the one month Eurodollar rate. The Eurodollar rate is subject to an interest rate floor of 100 basis points. The applicable margins under the Term Loan are subject to a step down based on a consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement.

All obligations under the Term Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and, subject to certain customary exceptions, all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material subsidiaries. Obligations under the Term Loan are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all property, assets and capital stock of ATDI except accounts receivable, inventory and related intangible assets and a second-priority lien on all accounts receivable and related intangible assets.

The Term Loan contains customary covenants, including covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, create liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates, change the nature of the Company’s business or change the Company’s fiscal year. The terms of the Term Loan generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect to the Company’s stock subject to certain exceptions such as the amount of 50% of net income (reduced by 100% of net losses) for the period beginning January 1, 2014 and other customary negotiated exceptions. As of July 5, 2014, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The Company is required to make principal payments equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last business day of June 2014. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, the Company is required to repay the Term Loan in certain circumstances, including with 50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% and 0%, as applicable, subject to attaining certain senior secured net leverage ratios) of its annual excess cash flow, as defined in the Term Loan agreement. The Term Loan also contains repayments provision related to non-ordinary course asset or property sales when certain conditions are met, and related to the incurrence of debt that is not permitted under the agreement.

Senior Secured Notes

On May 16, 2014, ATDI delivered a Notice of Full Redemption, providing for the redemption of all $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 9.75% Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Secured Notes”) on June 16, 2014 (the “Redemption Date”) at a price equal to 104.875% of the principal amount of the Senior

Secured Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). On June 16, 2014, using proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan, the Senior Secured Notes were redeemed for a Redemption Price of $263.2 million.

Senior Subordinated Notes

On May 28, 2010, ATDI issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Initial Subordinated Notes”). Interest on the Initial Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2010.

In connection with the consummation of the Hercules acquisition, on January 31, 2014, ATDI completed the sale to certain purchasers of an additional $225.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Additional Subordinated Notes” and, collectively with the Initial Subordinated Notes, the “Senior Subordinated Notes”). The Additional Subordinated Notes were issued at a discount from their principal amount at maturity and generated net proceeds of approximately $221.1 million. The Additional Subordinated Notes will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 12% to an aggregate accreted value of $225.0 million, the full principal amount at maturity. During the six months ended July 5, 2014, the Company paid $1.2 million in debt issuance cost related to the Additional Subordinated Notes.

The Additional Subordinated Notes have identical terms to the Initial Subordinated Notes except the Additional Subordinated Notes will accrue interest from January 31, 2014. The Additional Subordinated Notes and the Initial Subordinated Notes are treated as a single class of securities for all purposes under the indenture. The Senior Subordinated Notes will mature on June 1, 2018.

The Senior Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice at a redemption price of 102.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016.

The Senior Subordinated Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp, subject to certain exceptions.

The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limits ATDI’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; pay certain dividends or make certain distributions in respect of ATDI’s or repurchase or redeem ATDI’s capital stock; make certain loans, investments or other restricted payments; place restrictions on the ability of ATDI’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to ATDI; engage in transactions with stockholders or affiliates; transfer or sell certain assets; guarantee indebtedness or incur other contingent obligations; incur certain liens without securing the Senior Subordinated Notes; consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of ATDI’s assets; enter into certain transactions with ATDI’s affiliates; and designate ATDI’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The terms of the Senior Subordinated Notes generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of the Company’s stock subject to certain exceptions such as the amount of 50% of net income (reduced by 100% of net losses) for the period beginning April 4, 2010 and other customary negotiated exceptions. As of July 5, 2014, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

10. Derivative Instruments:

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the risk associated with exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt. These fluctuations can increase the cost of financing, investing and operating the business. The Company has used derivative financial instruments to help manage this risk and reduce the impacts of these exposures and not for trading or other speculative purposes. All derivatives are recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at their fair value as either assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair value of contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes, and are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) at the time earnings are affected by the hedged transaction. For other derivatives, changes in the fair value of the contract are recognized immediately in net income (loss) in the statement of comprehensive income (loss).

On September 4, 2013, the Company entered into a spot interest rate swap and two forward-starting interest rate swaps (collectively the “3Q 2013 Swaps”) each of which are used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The spot interest rate swap in place covers a notional amount of $100.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 1.145% and expires in September 2016. The forward-starting interest rate swaps in place cover an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million, of which $50.0 million becomes effective in September 2014 at a fixed interest rate of 1.464% and will expire in September 2016 and $50.0 million becomes effective in September 2015 at a fixed interest rate of 1.942% and will expire in September 2016. The counterparty to each swap is a major financial institution. The 3Q 2013 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract is recognized in net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

On August 1, 2012, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“3Q 2012 Swaps”) used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The swaps in place cover an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million, with each $50.0 million contract having a fixed rate of 0.655% and expiring in June 2016. The counterparty to each swap is a major financial institution. The 3Q 2012 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract is recognized in net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

On September 23, 2011, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“3Q 2011 Swaps”) used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The swaps in place cover an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million, of which $50.0 million is at a fixed rate of 0.74% and will expire in September 2014 and $50.0 million is at a fixed rate of 1.0% and will expire in September 2015. The counterparty to each swap is a major financial institution. The 3Q 2011 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract is recognized in net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

On February 24, 2011, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“1Q 2011 Swaps”) used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The swaps in place covered an aggregate notional amount of $75.0 million, of which $25.0 million was at a fixed interest rate of 0.585% and expired in February 2012. The remaining swap covered an aggregate notional amount of $50.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 1.105% and expired in February 2013. The counterparty to each swap was a major financial institution. Neither swap met the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract were recognized in net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair value hierarchy is comprised of three levels that are described below:

• Level 1 Inputs—Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 Inputs—Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

• Level 3 Inputs —Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents the fair value and hierarchy levels for the Company’s assets and liabilities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 5, 2014:

	Fair Value Measurements
In thousands	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Benefit trust assets	$	3,530	$	3,530	$	—	$	—
Total	$	3,530	$	3,530	$	—	$	—
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration	$	16,000	$	—	$	—	$	16,000
Derivative instruments		2,798		—		2,798		—
Total	$	18,798	$	—	$	2,798	$	16,000

ASC 820—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using the following methodologies:

• Benefit trust assets —These assets include money market and mutual funds that are the underlying for deferred compensation plan assets, held in a rabbi trust. The fair value of the assets is based on observable market prices quoted in readily accessible and observable markets.

• Contingent consideration—As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation of Terry’s Tire and Hercules, the Company recorded $12.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in contingent consideration. The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow technique with significant inputs that are not observable, including discount rates and probability-weighted cash flows and represents management’s best estimate of the amounts to be paid. The contingent consideration includes $12.3 million related to the retention of certain key members of management as employees of the Company and $3.7 million related to securing the rights to continue to distribute certain tire brands previously distributed by Terry’s Tire and Hercules. The Company believes the probable outcome could range from approximately $8.0 million to $16.0 million. The recorded contingent consideration is included in Accrued Expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 5, 2014.

• Derivative instruments—These instruments consist of interest rate swaps. The fair value is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments from a financial institution that is counterparty to the transaction.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities at July 5, 2014 are the same as those used at December 28, 2013. As a result, there have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 categories.

12. Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718—Compensation, which requires a fair-value based method for measuring the value of stock-based compensation. Fair value is measured once at the date of grant and is not adjusted for subsequent changes. The Company’s stock-based compensation plans include programs for stock options and restricted stock awards.

Stock Options

In August 2010, the Company adopted a Management Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), pursuant to which the Company will grant options to selected employees and directors of the Company. The 2010 Plan, which includes both time-based and performance-based awards, was amended on April 28, 2014 by the board of directors of the Company to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock for which stock options may be granted under the 2010 Plan from 52.1 million to 54.4 million. In addition to the increase in the maximum number of shares, on April 28, 2014, the board of directors of the Company approved the issuance of stock options to certain members of management. The approved options are for the purchase of up to 4.5 million shares of common stock, have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and vest over a two-year vesting period. As of July 5, 2014, the Company has 0.3 million shares available for future incentive awards.

Changes in options outstanding under the 2010 Plan are as follows:

	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding—December 28, 2013		49,516,503	$	1.02
Granted		4,528,833		1.50
Exercised		—		—
Cancelled		—		—
Outstanding—July 5, 2014		54,045,336	$	1.06
Exercisable—July 5, 2014		34,080,079	$	1.03

As of July 5, 2014, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable was $23.7 million and $16.0 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value is based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $1.50 as of July 5, 2014. The total fair value of shares vested during the six months ended July 5, 2014 was $6.3 million. No options were exercised during the six months ended July 5, 2014.

Options granted under the 2010 Plan expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant and vest based on the passage of time and/or the achievement of certain performance targets in equal installments over two, three or five years. The weighted-average remaining contractual term for options outstanding and exercisable at July 5, 2014 was 6.7 years and 6.5 years, respectively. The fair value of each of the Company’s time-based stock option awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the two, three or five-year vesting period of the options. However, for options granted with performance target requirements, compensation expense is recognized when it is probable that both the performance target will be achieved and the requisite service period is satisfied. At July 5, 2014, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested options granted under the 2010 Plan totaled $8.7 million and the weighted-average period over which this expense will be recognized is 0.9 years.

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013 was $0.68 and $0.54 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used:

	Six Months Ended July 5, 2014			Six Months Ended June 29, 2013
Risk-free interest rate		1.73	%		1.38	%
Dividend yield		—			—
Expected life		5.8 years			6.0 years
Volatility		46.49	%		45.39	%

As the Company does not have sufficient historical volatility data for the Company’s own common stock, the stock price volatility utilized in the fair value calculation is based on the Company’s peer group in the industry in which it does business. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield-curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award. Because the Company does not have relevant data available regarding the expected life of the award, the expected life is derived from the Simplified Method as allowed under SAB Topic 14.

Restricted Stock

In October 2010, the Company adopted the Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (the “2010 Restricted Stock Plan”), pursuant to which the Company will grant restricted stock to non-employee directors of the Company. These awards entitle the holder to receive one share of common stock for each restricted stock award granted. The 2010 Restricted Stock Plan provides that a maximum of 0.8 million shares of common stock of the Company may be granted to non-employee directors of the Company, of which 0.2 million remain available at July 5, 2014 for future incentive awards. On April 28, 2014, the board of directors of the Company approved the issuance of restricted stock to the non-employee directors of the Company. The approved restricted stock awards were for the issuance of up to 0.1 million shares of common stock, have a grant date fair value of $1.50 per share and vest over a two-year vesting period.

The following table summarizes restricted stock activity under the 2010 Restricted Stock Plan for the six months ended July 5, 2014:

	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding and unvested at December 28, 2013		87,719		$	1.14
Granted		133,333			1.50
Vested		(87,719	)		1.14
Cancelled		—			—
Outstanding and unvested at July 5, 2014		133,333		$	1.50

The fair value of each of the restricted stock awards is measured as the grant-date price of the common stock and is expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the two-year vesting period. At July 5, 2014, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards granted under the 2010 Restricted Stock Plan totaled $0.2 million and the weighted-average period over which this expense will be recognized is 1.5 years.

Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The amount of compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the portion of the granted awards that are expected to vest. Ultimately, the total expense recognized over the vesting period will equal the fair value of the awards as of the grant date that actually vest. The following table summarizes the compensation expense recognized:

In thousands	Quarter Ended July 5, 2014		Quarter Ended June 29, 2013		Six Months Ended July 5, 2014		Six Months Ended June 29, 2013
Stock Options	$	1,394	$	753	$	1,962	$	1,379
Restricted Stock		25		31		25		73
Total	$	1,419	$	784	$	1,987	$	1,452

13. Income Taxes:

The tax provision for the six months ended July 5, 2014, was calculated on a national jurisdiction basis. The Company accounts for its provision for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740—Income Taxes, which requires an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year to be applied to the respective interim period. However, the authoritative guidance allows the use of the discrete method when, in certain situations, the actual interim period effective tax rate provides a better estimate of the income tax provision. For the six months ended July 5, 2014, the discrete method was used to calculate the Company’s U.S. and Canadian interim tax expense as management determined that it provided a more reliable estimate of year-to-date income tax expense.

Based on the reported loss before income taxes for the six months ended July 5, 2014, the Company had an income tax benefit of $43.0 million, consisting of a $41.0 million U.S. tax benefit and a $2.0 million foreign tax benefit, and an effective tax benefit rate under the discrete method of 34.0%. For the six months ended June 29, 2013, the Company had an income tax benefit of $9.4 million, consisting of a $7.4 million U.S. tax benefit and a $2.0 million foreign tax benefit, and an effective tax benefit rate of 29.7%. The effective rate of the year-to-date tax benefit is lower than the statutory income tax rate primarily due to earnings in a foreign jurisdiction taxed at rates lower than the statutory U.S. federal rate and non-deductible transaction costs which lowered the effective tax rate by 0.5% and 0.5%, respectively.

At July 5, 2014, the Company has a net deferred tax liability of $300.3 million, of which, $18.9 million was recorded as a current deferred tax asset and $319.2 million was recorded as a non-current deferred tax liability. The net deferred tax liability primarily relates to the expected future tax liability associated with the non-deductible, identified, intangible assets that were recorded during the TPG Merger, assuming an effective tax rate of 39.6%. It is the Company’s intention to indefinitely reinvest all undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries.

At July 5, 2014, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $0.6 million, of which $0.6 million is included within other liabilities within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate is $0.1 million as of July 5, 2014. In addition, $0.5 million is related to temporary timing differences. During the next 12 months, management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that any of the unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized.

While the Company believes that it has adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater than the Company’s accrued position. Accordingly, additional provisions of

federal and state-related matters could be recorded in the future as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved. The Company files federal income tax returns, as well as multiple state jurisdiction tax returns. The tax years 2010 – 2012 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The tax years 2009 – 2012 remain open to examination by other major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject (primarily Canada and other state and local jurisdictions).

In September 2013, the Internal Revenue Service released final Tangible Property Regulations (the “Final Regulations”). The Final Regulations provide guidance on applying Section 263(a) of the Code to amounts paid to acquire, produce or improve tangible property, as well as rules for materials and supplies (Code Section 162). These regulations contain certain changes from the temporary and proposed tangible property regulations that were issued on December 27, 2011. The Final Regulations are generally effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. During 2012, the Company filed a change in tax methodology related to a section of the Final Regulations, specifically the methodology for repairs and maintenance deductions. The Company does not expect any additional adjustments related to the Final Regulations.

14. Stockholders’ Equity:

On January 31, 2014, TPG and certain co-investors contributed $50.0 million through the purchase of 33.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The proceeds from this equity contribution were used to fund a portion of the Hercules Closing Purchase Price. Accordingly, the Company recorded the basis in these shares in additional paid-in capital. During the quarter ended July 5, 2014, the Company corrected an error in its presentation of restricted stock awards to reflect such awards as being issued and outstanding common stock. Under the terms of the 2010 Restricted Stock Plan, such awards are considered outstanding shares on the date of grant. This correction resulted in an increase of 447,368 shares to the number of issued and outstanding shares as of July 5, 2014. This error has no impact on the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation for any of the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements or the current year consolidated financial statements.

15. Commitments and Contingencies:

The Company is involved from time to time in various lawsuits, including class action lawsuits as well as various audits and reviews regarding its federal, state and local tax filings, arising out of the ordinary conduct of its business. Management does not expect that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition. As to tax filings, the Company believes that the various tax filings have been made in a timely fashion and in accordance with applicable federal, state and local tax code requirements. Additionally, the Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable resolution of any tax disputes, but will adjust its reserves if events so dictate in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Company, the effect will be recorded in accordance with the accounting standards for income taxes.

Guaranteed Lease Obligations

The Company remains liable as a guarantor on certain leases related to the Winston Tire Company, which was sold in 2001. As of July 5, 2014, the Company’s total obligations are $1.6 million extending over five years. However, the Company has secured assignments or sublease agreements for the vast majority of these commitments with contractual assigned or subleased rentals of $1.4 million. A provision has been made for the net present value of the estimated shortfall.

16. Discontinued Operations:

As part of the acquisition of Terry’s Tire, the Company acquired Terry’s Tire’s commercial and retread businesses. As the Company’s core business does not include commercial and retread operations, the Company

F-80

ATD Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

decided that it would divest of these businesses. As it is management’s intention to divest the commercial and retread businesses during fiscal 2014 and as all held for sale criteria has been met, the related assets and liabilities of the commercial and retread businesses are classified as held for sale within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of July 5, 2014, the amount classified as assets held for sale was $5.5 million, consisting of $4.2 million in current assets, net property and equipment of $0.8 million and goodwill of $0.5 million. The amount classified as liabilities held for sale was $0.4 million as of July 5, 2014 of which the entire amount related to current liabilities.

The Company has reflected the results of Terry’s Tire’s commercial and retread businesses as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the quarter and six months ended July 5, 2014. The components of income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax for the quarter and six months ended July 5, 2014 were as follows:

In thousands	Quarter Ended July 5, 2014			Six Months Ended July 5, 2014
Net sales	$	5,418		$	5,418
Income (loss) from operations before income taxes	$	(74	)	$	(74	)
Income tax provision (benefit)		(26	)		(26	)
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	(48	)	$	(48	)

17. Earnings per share:

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the Company’s weighted-average outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the Company’s weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters and six months ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013:

	Quarter Ended July 5, 2014			Quarter Ended June 29, 2013			Six Months Ended July 5, 2014			Six Months Ended June 29, 2013

(1) Options to purchase 54,045 shares of common stock during both the quarter and six months ended July 5, 2014 and 50,182 shares during both the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2013, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

(2) Unvested restricted stock awards of 133,333 for both the quarter and six months ended July 5, 2014 and 109,649 for both the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2013 were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

18. Subsequent Event:

On July 31, 2014, the Company completed a transaction to sell the commercial and retread businesses acquired as part of the Terry’s Tire acquisition for a purchase price of approximately $3.9 million. Subsequent events were evaluated for recognition and disclosure through August 15, 2014, the date these financial statements were issued.

To the Shareholders of Trail Tire Distributors Ltd.		F.  780.425.8189

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Trail Tire Distributors Ltd., which comprise the balance sheets as of February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, and the related statements of operations, retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Trail Tire Distributors Ltd. as of February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises.

Basis of Accounting

As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the basis of Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 14 to the financial statements.

TRAIL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013

(In Canadian Dollars)

1. Nature of operations

The Company was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on November 24, 2003 and operates a wholesale tire distribution business.

2. Change in accounting policy

Effective March 1, 2012 the company changed its accounting policy for income taxes from the taxes payable method to the future income taxes method. The change in accounting policy was applied retrospectively. The impact of the change in accounting policy did not result in any changes to the opening retained earnings of 2013 nor did it result in the recognition of a future tax asset or future tax liability as at February 29, 2012.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting standards for private enterprises, which is a basis of accounting generally accepted in Canada for entities that are privately held.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when the goods have been delivered, the services have been completed, the transaction has been accepted by the customer and collection is reasonably assured. The Company reports its revenue net of returns, sales discounts and volume rebates to customers.

Interest revenue is recognized on an annual basis as it is earned.

Rental revenue earned under a lease agreement is recognized as revenue over the term of the underlying lease. All rent increases based on escalation clauses in lease agreements are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases. Property taxes, other operating cost recoveries, and other incidental income are recognized on an accrual basis.

Vendor Rebates and Allowances

The Company participates in various purchase rebate programs with its major tire vendors including early payment incentives and volume purchase rebates based on defined levels of purchase volume. These arrangements enable the Company to earn rebates that reduce the cost of merchandise purchased. Vendor rebates and allowances are accrued as earned. Vendor rebates and allowances earned are initially recorded as a reduction in the cost of merchandise inventories and are included in operations (as a reduction of cost of goods sold) in the period the related product is sold.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of losses on the accounts receivable balances. The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that is estimated based on a variety of factors including accounts receivable aging, historical experience and other currently available information, including events such as customer bankruptcy and current economic conditions. Interest is charged on overdue account receivable balances. A provision is recorded in the period in which the receivable is deemed uncollectible.

TRAIL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013

(In Canadian Dollars)

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition including volume rebates and allowances from vendors. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less costs necessary to complete the sale. Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This reduction is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.

Amortization is calculated at the following annual rates:

Automotive	-	30% declining balance basis
Office equipment	-	20% declining balance basis
Leasehold improvements	-	5 year straight-line basis
Computer equipment	-	30% declining balance basis
Computer software	-	100% declining balance basis
Manufacturing equipment	-	50% straight-line basis
Shop equipment	-	20% declining balance basis

Property and equipment are tested for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposal. In such a case, an impaired loss must be recognized and is equivalent to the excess of the carrying amount of a long-lived asset over its fair value.

Income taxes

The Company uses the future income taxes method to account for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Translation of Foreign Currency

Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the respective transaction months. The resulting exchange gains or losses are included in net earnings. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities

F-90

TRAIL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013

(In Canadian Dollars)

and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more subjective estimates included in these financial statements are the determination of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory and estimated useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of calculating amortization. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments

Measurement of financial instruments

The company initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non-arm’s length transactions. The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for equity instruments that are quoted in an active market, which are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable from related parties.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, management remuneration payable and shareholders’ loans.

Impairment

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs relating to financial instruments that are measured subsequently at fair value are recognized in operations in the year in which they are incurred. For instruments that are subsequently measured at amortized cost, the amount initially recognized is adjusted for transaction costs directly attributable to the origination, acquisition, issuance or assumption.

4. Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists of the following:

	2014			2013
Accounts receivable—Trade	$	3,752,062		$	4,401,224
Warranty receivable		56,430			31,126
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(92,275	)		(91,896	)

13. Financial Instruments

Credit Risk

The Company is susceptible to credit risk on its accounts receivable and mitigates this risk through an extensive credit evaluation process.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s operating line of credit bears interest based at prime and, accordingly, exposes the Company to interest rate risk through fluctuation in the prime rate. As at February 28, 2014 and 2013 there was no amount due on the operating line of credit.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company is exposed to this risk mainly in respect to its accounts payable and accrued liabilities and its management remunerations payable. At February 28, 2014 the company had a working capital balance of $5,559,850 (February 28, 2013—$6,089,611)

Foreign Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings that arises from fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Company is susceptible to foreign currency risk on its US dollar cash balance in the amount of $5,829 as at February 28, 2014 (February 28, 2013—$64,018).

14. Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP Reconciliation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises. The material differences between the accounting policies used by the Company under Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP are disclosed below.

a) Income Taxes

Under US GAAP, the Company recognizes a tax benefit if it is more likely than not that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements is measured based on the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 per cent likely of being realized upon settlement. The difference

F-96

TRAIL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013

(In Canadian Dollars)

between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to this guidance represents an unrecognized tax benefit. An unrecognized tax benefit is disclosed as a long-term liability unless the Corporation anticipates a payment or receipt within one year in respect of the position. As a result of implementing these provisions there was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Under US GAAP the Company is required to calculate and record corporate income taxes based on enacted corporate income tax rates. Under the Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises, the Company had calculated and recognized corporate income taxes using substantively enacted corporate income tax rates. For the company, enacted and substantively enacted corporate tax rates are the same; as a result no differences to calculated and recognized corporate income taxes arise. There are no material differences between the Company’s statutory income tax rate and the effective tax rate.

b) Variable interest entities

The Company has performed a review of the entities with which it conducts business and has concluded that there are no entities that are required to be consolidated or variable interests that are required to be disclosed under the requirements of ASC Topic 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

c) Comprehensive Income

US GAAP requires the presentation of a Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company has no items that would cause such presentation to differ from the amounts presented as Net Income in the accompanying financial statements.

d) Cash Flows From Financing Activities

The Company did not have any cash flows from financing activities and therefore this caption does not appear on the Statements of Cash Flows.

	INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT	Collins Barrow Edmonton LLP 2380 Commerce Place 10155—102 Street N.W. Edmonton, Alberta T5J 4G8 Canada T.  780.428.1522
To the Shareholder of Extreme Wheel Distributors Ltd.		F.  780.425.8189
		www.collinsbarrow.com

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Extreme Wheel Distributors Ltd., which comprise the balance sheets as of February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, and the related statements of operations, retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Extreme Wheel Distributors Ltd. as of February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises.

Basis of Accounting

As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the basis of Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 12 to the financial statements.

EXTREME WHEEL DISTRIBUTORS LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013

(In Canadian Dollars)

1. Nature of Activities

The Company was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on June 27, 2007 and commenced operations as a wholesale wheel business.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting standards for private enterprises, which is a basis of accounting generally accepted in Canada for entities that are privately held.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when the goods have been delivered, the services have been completed, the transaction has been accepted by the customer and collection is reasonably assured. The Company reports its revenue net of returns, sales discounts and rebates to customers.

Interest revenue is recognized on an annual basis as it is earned.

Vendor Rebates and Allowances

Vendor rebates and allowances earned are initially recorded as a reduction in the cost of inventories and are included in operations (as a reduction of cost of goods sold) in the period the related product is sold.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of losses on the accounts receivable balances. The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that is estimated based on a variety of factors including accounts receivable aging, historical experience and other currently available information, including events such as customer bankruptcy and current economic conditions. Interest is charged on overdue accounts receivable balances. A provision is recorded in the period in which the receivable is deemed uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition including volume rebates and allowances from vendors. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less costs necessary to complete the sale. Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This reduction is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand.

F-104

EXTREME WHEEL DISTRIBUTORS LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013

(In Canadian Dollars)

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.

Amortization is calculated at the following annual rates:

Automotive	-	30% declining balance basis
Office equipment	-	20% declining balance basis
Leasehold improvements	-	5 year straight-line basis
Computer equipment	-	30% declining balance basis
Shop equipment	-	20% declining balance basis

Property and equipment are tested for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposal. In such a case, an impaired loss must be recognized and is equivalent to the excess of the carrying amount of a long-lived asset over its fair value.

Investments

The company accounts for its investment using the cost method. The carrying value of the investment is reviewed annually and written down below cost if there is a loss of value.

Income taxes

The Company uses the future income taxes method to account for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Translation of Foreign Currency Transactions

Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the respective transaction months. The resulting exchange gains or losses are included in net earnings. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more subjective estimates included in these financial statements are the determination of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and valuation of inventory. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013

(In Canadian Dollars)

Financial Instruments

Measurement of financial instruments

The company initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non-arm’s length transactions. The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for equity instruments that are quoted in an active market, which are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash, accounts receivable, shareholder’s advance and loan receivable from related party.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, management remuneration payable and loans payable to related parties.

Impairment

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in net income. A previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs relating to financial instruments that are measured subsequently at fair value are recognized in operations in the year in which they are incurred. For instruments that are subsequently measured at amortized cost, the amount initially recognized is adjusted for transaction costs directly attributable to the origination, acquisition, issuance or assumption.

11. Financial Instruments

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the potential that a counter party will fail to perform its obligations. The Company is susceptible to concentration of credit risk on its accounts receivable and mitigates this risk through an extensive credit evaluation process.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company is exposed to this risk mainly in respect to its accounts payable and accrued liabilities and its management remuneration payable. At February 28, 2014 the company had working capital of $2,494,878 (February 28, 2013—$1,732,997)

Foreign Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings that arises from fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Company is susceptible to foreign currency risk on its US dollar cash balance in the amount of $5,812 as at February 28, 2014 (February 28, 2013—$102,054).

12. Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP Reconciliation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises. The material differences between the accounting policies used by the Company under Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP are disclosed below.

a) Income Taxes

Under US GAAP, the Company recognizes a tax benefit if it is more likely than not that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements is measured based on the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 per cent likely of being realized upon settlement.

F-110

EXTREME WHEEL DISTRIBUTORS LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013

(In Canadian Dollars)

The difference between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to this guidance represents an unrecognized tax benefit. An unrecognized tax benefit is disclosed as a long-term liability unless the Corporation anticipates a payment or receipt within one year in respect of the position. As a result of implementing these provisions there was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Under US GAAP the Company is required to calculate and record corporate income taxes based on enacted corporate income tax rates. Under the Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises, the Company had calculated and recognized corporate income taxes using substantively enacted corporate income tax rates. For the company, enacted and substantively enacted corporate tax rates are the same; as a result no differences to calculated and recognized corporate income taxes arise. There are no material differences between the Company’s statutory income tax rate and the effective tax rate.

b) Variable interest entities

The Company has performed a review of the entities with which it conducts business and has concluded that there are no entities that are required to be consolidated or variable interest that are required to be disclosed under the requirements of ASC Topic 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

c) Comprehensive Income

US GAAP requires the presentation of a Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company has no items that would cause such presentation to differ from the amounts presented as Net Income in the accompanying financial statements.

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Kirks Tire Ltd., which comprise the balance sheets as of January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations, retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kirks Tire Ltd. as of January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises.

Basis of Accounting

As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the basis of Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 12 to the financial statements.

KIRKS TIRE LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012

(In Canadian Dollars)

1. Nature of operations

The Company was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on January 30, 1990 and operates a tire distribution sales and service business.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

These financial statements are prepared in accordance and in compliance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises (“ASPE”), as issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”).

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when the goods have been delivered, the services have been completed, the transaction has been accepted by the customer and collection is reasonably assured. The Company reports its revenue net of returns, sales discounts and volume rebates to customers.

Interest revenue is recognized on an annual basis as it is earned.

Translation of Foreign Currency

Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the respective transaction months. The resulting exchange gains or losses are included in net earnings. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction.

Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. The contracts are measured at fair value and the resulting gains or losses, that would be realized if the position was sold before the valuation dates, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses.

Vendor Rebates and Allowances

The Company participates in various purchase rebate programs with its major tire vendors including early payment incentives and volume purchase rebates based on defined levels of purchase volume. These arrangements enable the Company to earn rebates that reduce the cost of merchandise purchased. Vendor rebates and allowances are accrued as earned. Vendor rebates and allowances earned are initially recorded as a reduction in the cost of merchandise inventories and are included in operations (as a reduction of cost of goods sold) in the period the related product is sold.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of losses on the accounts receivable balances. The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that is estimated based on a

F-118

KIRKS TIRE LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012

(In Canadian Dollars)

variety of factors including accounts receivable aging, historical experience and other currently available information, including events such as customer bankruptcy and current economic conditions. Interest is charged on overdue account receivable balances. A provision is recorded in the period in which the receivable is deemed uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition including volume rebates and allowances from vendors. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less costs necessary to complete the sale. Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This reduction is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand.

Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.

Amortization is calculated at the following annual rates:

Automotive	-	30% declining balance basis
Computer equipment	-	55% declining balance basis
Manufacturing equipment	-	30% straight-line basis
Shop equipment	-	20% declining balance basis

Property and equipment are tested for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposal. In such a case, an impaired loss must be recognized and is equivalent to the excess of the carrying amount of a long-lived asset over its fair value.

Investments

The company accounts for its investments using the cost method. The carrying value of each investment is reviewed annually and written down below cost if there is a loss of value.

Income taxes

The Company uses the future income taxes method to account for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Future income taxes have not been recorded as they are considered insignificant.

Use of estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and

the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates included in the financial statements are the valuation of accounts receivable, valuation of inventory, and the estimated useful life of long-lived assets for purposes of calculating amortization. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments

Measurement of financial instruments

The company initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non-arm’s length transactions. The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for equity instruments that are quoted in an active market, which are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable from related parties.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, management remuneration payable, loans payable to related parties and shareholders’ loans.

Impairment

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income.

Transaction costs

The Company recognizes its transaction costs in net income in the period incurred. However, the carrying amount of the financial instruments that will not be subsequently measured at fair value is reflected in the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their origination, issuance or assumptions.

Notes to the Financial Statements

January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012

(In Canadian Dollars)

10. Commitments and Contingency

The Company has provided a continuing guarantee limited to $600,000 to 1707588 Alberta Ltd., a company indirectly owned by a director of Kirk’s Tire Ltd., along with two other companies to assist in the purchase of 134 acres of residential development land.

The Company provides continuing guarantees without limit for the purchase of inventory from Michelin and Cooper Tire made by its related parties.

11. Financial Instruments

Credit Risk

The Company is susceptible to credit risk on its accounts receivable and mitigates this risk through an extensive credit evaluation process.

The Company is susceptible to concentration of credit risk as its accounts receivable consists of 51% from related parties (January 31, 2013—35%, January 31, 2012—79%) and revenue consists of 64% from related parties (January 31, 2013—66%, January 31, 2012—69%).

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company is exposed to this risk mainly in respect to its accounts payable and accrued liabilities and its management remunerations payable. At January 31, 2014 the company had a working capital balance of $14,043,510 (January 31, 2013—$7,668,895, January 31, 2012—$6,246,293).

Foreign Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings that arises from fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Company is susceptible to foreign currency risk on its US dollar cash balance in the amount of $418,984 as at January 31, 2014 (January 31, 2013—$405,552, January 31, 2012—$618,371). The Company mitigates this risk through the use of foreign currency futures contracts.

12. Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP Reconciliation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises. The material differences between the accounting policies used by the Company under Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP are disclosed below.

a) Income Taxes

Under US GAAP, the Company recognizes a tax benefit if it is more likely than not that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements is measured based on the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 per cent likely of being realized upon settlement. The difference between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to this guidance represents an unrecognized tax benefit. An unrecognized tax benefit is disclosed as a long-term liability unless the Corporation anticipates a payment or receipt within one year in respect of the position. As a result of implementing these provisions there was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

F-129

KIRKS TIRE LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012

(In Canadian Dollars)

Under US GAAP the Company is required to calculate and record corporate income taxes based on enacted corporate income tax rates. Under the Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises, the Company had calculated and recognized corporate income taxes using substantively enacted corporate income tax rates. For the Company, enacted and substantively enacted corporate tax rates are the same; as a result no differences to calculated and recognized corporate income taxes arise. There are no material differences between the Company’s statutory income tax rate and the effective tax rate.

b) Variable interest entities

The Company has performed a review of the entities with which it conducts business and has concluded that there are no entities that are required to be consolidated or variable interests that are required to be disclosed under the requirements of ASC Topic 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

c) Preferred shares

Under US GAAP, the Company recognizes preferred shares at stated capital value as part of equity if there is not an unconditional obligation for the Company to redeem the shares by transferring an asset on a specified or determinable date or upon an event that is certain to occur. For the Company, there is no unconditional obligation for the preferred shares to be redeemed at the option of the holder at January 31, 2012, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2014, therefore the stated value of the preferred shares has been reported as an equity component.

d) Comprehensive Income

US GAAP requires the presentation of a Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company has no items that would cause such presentation to differ from the amounts presented as Net Income in the accompanying financial statements.

13. Presentation of Related Party Balances

Subsequent to release of the financial statements on June 25, 2014, the Company has expanded its disclosure of related party balances for each of the years presented on the balance sheets and statements of operations resulting in the separate presentation of related party accounts receivable, which were previously included in accounts receivable, related party accounts payable, which were previously included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related party sales, which were previously included in sales, and related party cost of sales, which were previously included in cost of sales.

		T.  780.428.1522
To the Shareholders of Regional Tire Distributors (Edmonton) Inc.		F.  780.425.8189

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Regional Tire Distributors (Edmonton) Inc., which comprise the balance sheets as of February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, and the related statements of operations, retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Regional Tire Distributors (Edmonton) Inc. as of February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises.

Basis of Accounting

As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the basis of Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 11 to the financial statements.

REGIONAL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS (EDMONTON) INC.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

(In Canadian Dollars)

1. Nature of operations

The Company was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on December 3, 2004 and operates a wholesale tire distribution business, which fully commenced operations in the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009 as North Alta Tire Limited and subsequently changed its name to Regional Tire Distributors (Edmonton) Inc.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when the goods have been delivered, the services have been completed, the transaction has been accepted by the customer and collection is reasonably assured. The Company reports its revenue net of returns, sales discounts and volume rebates to customers.

Interest revenue is recognized on an annual basis as it is earned.

Vendor rebates and allowances

The Company participates in various purchase rebate programs with its major tire vendors including early payment incentives and volume purchase rebates based on defined levels of purchase volume. These arrangements enable the Company to earn rebates that reduce the cost of merchandise purchased. Vendor rebates and allowances are accrued as earned. Vendor rebates and allowances earned are initially recorded as a reduction in the cost of merchandise inventories and are included in operations (as a reduction of cost of goods sold) in the period the related product is sold. Accordingly, the amount of vendor rebates included in operations in any year could include rebates earned in a prior year.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of losses on the accounts receivable balances. The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that is estimated based on a variety of factors including accounts receivable aging, historical experience and other currently available information, including events such as customer bankruptcy and current economic conditions. Interest is charged on overdue account receivable balances. A provision is recorded in the period in which the receivable is deemed uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition including volume rebates and allowances from vendors. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less costs necessary to complete the sale. Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This reduction is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

(In Canadian Dollars)

Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.

Amortization is calculated at the following annual rates:

Office equipment	-  20% declining balance basis
Computer equipment	-  30% declining balance basis
Shop equipment	-  20% declining balance basis

Equipment is tested for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposal. In such a case, an impaired loss must be recognized and is equivalent to the excess of the carrying amount of a long-lived asset over its fair value.

Investments

The company accounts for its investments using the cost method. The carrying value of each investment is reviewed annually and written down below cost if there is a loss of value.

Income taxes

The Company uses the future income taxes method to account for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Future income tax assets are recognized only to the extent it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more subjective estimates included in these financial statements are the determination of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory and the recognition of vendor rebates and allowance. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments

Measurement of financial instruments

The company initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non-arm’s length transactions.

The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for equity instruments that are quoted in an active market, which are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income.

REGIONAL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS (EDMONTON) INC.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

(In Canadian Dollars)

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash, accounts receivable, dividend receivable and loans receivable from related parties.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, management remuneration payable, loans payable to related parties and shareholders’ loan.

Impairment

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs relating to financial instruments that are measured subsequently at fair value are recognized in operations in the year in which they are incurred. For instruments that are subsequently measured at amortized cost, the amount initially recognized is adjusted for transaction costs directly attributable to the origination, acquisition, issuance or assumption.

10. Financial Instruments

Credit Risk

The Company is susceptible to credit risk on its accounts receivable and mitigates this risk through an extensive credit evaluation process.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company is exposed to this risk mainly in respect to its accounts payable and accrued liabilities and its management remunerations payable. At February 28, 2014 the company had a working capital balance of $2,950,726 (February 28, 2013—$3,448,205; February 29, 2012—$2,333,056).

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk refers to adverse consequences of interest rate changes on the Company’s cash flows and financial position. Management does not believe the Company is exposed to significant interest rate risk.

11. Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP Reconciliation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (“ASPE”). The material differences between the accounting policies used by the Company under ASPE and US GAAP are disclosed below.

a) Income Taxes

The difference between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to this guidance represents an unrecognized tax benefit. An unrecognized tax benefit is disclosed as a long-term liability unless the Corporation anticipates a payment or receipt within one year in respect of the position. As a result of implementing these provisions there was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Under US GAAP the Company is required to calculate and record corporate income taxes based on enacted corporate income tax rates. Under the Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises, the Company had calculated and recognized corporate income taxes using substantively enacted corporate income tax rates. For the company, enacted and substantively enacted corporate tax rates are the same; as a result no differences to calculated and recognized corporate income taxes arise. There are no material differences between the Company’s statutory income tax rate and the effective tax rate.

b) Variable interest entities

The Company has performed a review of the entities with which it conducts business and has concluded that there are no entities that are required to be consolidated or variable interest that are required to be disclosed under the requirements of ASC Topic 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

c) Wholly owned subsidiaries and investments subject to significant influence

US GAAP requires the consolidation of subsidiaries, whereas under ASPE the Company elected to record the investment in subsidiaries on the cost method. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries include Tirecraft Western Canada Ltd., 1773503 Alberta Ltd., and Tire Storage Direct (Edmonton) Ltd.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(In Canadian Dollars)

The Company also has significantly influence investments in Regional Tire Distributors (Calgary) Inc., Regional Tire Distributors Manitoba (6631208 Manitoba Ltd.), Integra Tire and Auto Centres Canada, and Regional Tire Distributors (Saskatchewan) Inc. Under US GAAP, significantly influenced investments are required to be accounted for using the equity method, whereby the investment is initially recorded at cost, and adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of after tax earnings or losses, and reduced by dividends received, however under ASPE the Company elected to record the significantly influenced investments on the cost method. The accompanying financial information includes consolidated financial statements which reflect the equity method of accounting for these investments and condensed financial statements for each investee company.

The following financial information presents the financial statement as at February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 on a consolidated basis.

12. Correction of an Error

Subsequent to the release of the financial statements on June 25, 2014 management changed its assessment of the probability of realizing the future tax asset resulting from the impairment of the loan receivable and has determined that it does not meet the requirements for recognition of the deferred income tax asset and has made some adjustments to the tax provision. As a result of the change in the assessment by management the following changes have been made to the financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014.

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Regional Tire Distributors (Calgary) Inc., which comprise the balance sheets as of February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, and the related statements of operations, retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Regional Tire Distributors (Calgary) Inc. as of February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises.

Basis of Accounting

As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the basis of Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 14 to the financial statements.

REGIONAL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS (CALGARY) INC.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

(In Canadian Dollars)

1. Nature of operations

The Company was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on October 26, 1987 and operated a wholesale tire distribution business under its original name as South Alta Tire Distributors Ltd. The company changed its name to Regional Tire Distributors (Calgary) Inc. on October 5, 2010.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when the goods have been delivered, the services have been completed, the transaction has been accepted by the customer and collection is reasonably assured. The Company reports its revenue net of returns, sales discounts and rebates to customers.

Interest revenue is recognized on an annual basis as it is earned.

Rental revenue earned under a lease agreement is recognized as revenue over the term of the underlying lease. All rent increases based on escalation clauses in lease agreements are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases. Property taxes, other operating cost recoveries, and other incidental income are recognized on an accrual basis.

Vendor Rebates and Allowances

The Company participates in various purchase rebate programs with its major tire vendors including early payment incentives and volume purchase rebates based on defined levels of purchase volume. These arrangements enable the Company to earn rebates that reduce the cost of merchandise purchased. Vendor rebates and allowances are accrued as earned. Vendor rebates and allowances earned are initially recorded as a reduction in the cost of merchandise inventories and are included in operations (as a reduction of cost of goods sold) in the period the related product is sold. Accordingly, the amount of vendor rebates included in operations in any year could include rebates earned in a prior year.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of losses on the accounts receivable balances. The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that is estimated based on a variety of factors including accounts receivable aging, historical experience and other currently available information, including events such as customer bankruptcy and current economic conditions. Interest is charged on overdue account receivable balances. A provision is recorded in the period in which the receivable is deemed uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition

F-165

REGIONAL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS (CALGARY) INC.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

(In Canadian Dollars)

including volume rebates and allowances from vendors. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less costs necessary to complete the sale. Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This reduction is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.

Amortization is calculated at the following annual rates:

Office equipment	- 20% declining balance basis
Computer equipment	- 30%-100% declining balance basis
Shop equipment	- 20% declining balance basis
Automotive equipment	- 30% declining balance basis
Leasehold improvement	- 5 year straight line basis
Fencing	- 10% declining balance basis

Property and equipment are tested for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposal. In such a case, an impaired loss must be recognized and is equivalent to the excess of the carrying amount of a long-lived asset over its fair value.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated as of the date of the business combination to the Company’s reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination.

Goodwill is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill is assigned with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss in the carrying amount compared with the fair value is charged to income in the year in which the loss is recognized.

Income taxes

The Company uses the future income taxes method to account for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the

F-166

REGIONAL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS (CALGARY) INC.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

(In Canadian Dollars)

obligation, and when a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A contingent liability is discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability and is re-measured at fair value at each reporting date.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more subjective estimates included in these financial statements are the determination of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory, estimated useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of calculating amortization and valuation of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments

Measurement of financial instruments

The company initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non-arm’s length transactions. The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash, accounts receivable, due from corporate shareholder and loans receivable from related parties.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, management remuneration payable, due to corporate shareholders, shareholder’s loan and loans payable to related parties.

Impairment

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs relating to financial instruments that are measured subsequently at fair value are recognized in operations in the year in which they are incurred. For instruments that are subsequently measured at amortized cost, the amount initially recognized is adjusted for transaction costs directly attributable to the origination, acquisition, issuance or assumption.

The amount of the fee is to be determined by the end of each calendar year.

12. Financial Instruments

Credit Risk

The Company is susceptible to credit risk on its accounts receivable and mitigates this risk through an extensive credit evaluation process.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company is exposed to this risk mainly in respect to its accounts payable and accrued liabilities and its management remunerations payable. As at February 28, 2014, the Company has a working capital balance of $7,339,813 (February 28, 2013—$6,261,173; February 29, 2012—$5,989,498)

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk refers to adverse consequences of interest rate changes on the Company’s cash flows and financial position. Management does not believe the Company is exposed to significant interest rate risk.

13. Asset Purchase

14. Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP Reconciliation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises. The material differences between the accounting policies used by the Company under Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP are disclosed below.

a) Income Taxes

Under US GAAP, the Company recognizes a tax benefit if it is more likely than not that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements is measured based on the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 per cent likely of being realized upon settlement. The difference between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to this guidance represents an unrecognized tax benefit. An unrecognized tax benefit is disclosed as a long-term liability unless the Company anticipates a payment or receipt within one year in respect of the position. As a result of implementing these provisions there was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Under US GAAP the Company is required to calculate and record corporate income taxes based on enacted corporate income tax rates. Under ASPE, the Company had calculated and recognized corporate income taxes using substantively enacted corporate income tax rates. For the Company, enacted and substantively enacted corporate tax rates are the same; as a result no differences to calculated and recognized corporate income taxes arise. There are no material differences between the Company’s statutory income tax rate and the effective tax rate.

b) Variable Interest Entities

The Company has performed a review of the entities with which it conducts business and has concluded that there are no entities that are required to be consolidated or variable interests that are required to be disclosed under the requirements of ASC Topic 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

c) Preferred shares

Under US GAAP, the Company recognizes preferred shares at stated capital value as part of equity if there is not an unconditional obligation for the Company to redeem the shares by transferring an asset on a specified or determinable date or upon an event that is certain to occur. For the Company, there is no unconditional obligation for the preferred shares to be redeemed at the option of the holder at February 29, 2012, February 28, 2013 and February 28, 2014, therefore the stated value of the preferred shares has been reported as an equity component.

d) Comprehensive Income

US GAAP requires the presentation of a Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company has no items that would cause such presentation to differ from the amounts presented as Net Income in the accompanying financial statements.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors of

TTT Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of TTT Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders’ equity and mezzanine equity and of cash flows for the years then ended.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TTT Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

TTT Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2013 and 2012

1. Description of Business

TTT Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) is incorporated in Delaware as an S-Corporation. Terry’s Tire Town Holdings, Inc. (“TTT”), its wholly owned subsidiary, is incorporated in Ohio as an S-corporation. Through its operating subsidiaries, TTT’s primary operations are as a wholesale distributor of tires and accessories throughout the eastern half of the United States. During 2011, TTT formed Summit Tire Northeast, LLC (“Summit”) to acquire the assets of Summit Tire of Massachusetts, Inc., a wholesale tire distributor with operations focused in the New England area and TTT directly acquired the stock of Englewood Tire Wholesale, Inc. (“Englewood”), a wholesale tire distributor with operations focused primarily in the Greater New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area. Holdings has no significant assets or operations other than its ownership of TTT. The operations of TTT constitutes the operations of Holdings.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings, TTT and each of TTT’s wholly owned subsidiaries and entities controlled by TTT but not wholly-owned (collectively the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity the Company does not own in the controlled entities included in the financial statements. The Company identifies its noncontrolling interests separately within the equity section on the consolidated balance sheet. The amounts of consolidated net earnings attributable to the Company and to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The Company dissolved its noncontrolling interests in 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates include the Company’s valuation of doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory reserves, valuation of goodwill, share-based compensation, the fair value of derivative instruments, the fair value of purchased assets and liabilities, including intangible assets and related useful lives assigned to such assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties to be cash and cash equivalents. Such investments are carried at their cost, which approximates their estimated fair market value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The majority of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were deposited with large banking institutions. The Company maintains cash deposits in banks which, from time to time, exceed the amount of deposit insurance available. Management periodically assesses the financial condition of the institutions and believes that any potential credit loss is minimal.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2013 and 2012

Accounts Receivable

Trade receivables represent amounts due from product sales in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of customers’ financial condition, and trade receivables are generally not collateralized.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable losses for uncollected receivables. The Company determines the allowance based on customer risk, the length of time accounts are past due, and historical write-off experience. Account balances are charged to the allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The total adjustment to reduce accounts receivable to the recoverable amount was $2,042,500 and $2,885,703 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories consist of products held for resale and are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by the last-in, first-out method (“LIFO”) for tire inventory and at moving average cost for non-tire inventory. The LIFO reserve was $202,520 and $4,576,974 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The composition of inventory valued at LIFO and FIFO is as follows:

	2013		2012
Inventory at LIFO (primarily tire inventory)	$	88,076,680	$	101,192,482
Inventory at FIFO (primarily nontire inventory)		4,448,607		4,301,739
	$	92,525,287	$	105,494,221

During 2013, the combination of deflation and reduction in inventory quantities resulted in a liquidation of LIFO inventory carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of 2012 purchases, the effect of which decreased cost of goods sold and increased net income by approximately $4,374,000. The portion related to the change in cost in inventory compared to 2012 was approximately $537,000.

The above balances are presented net for slow-moving and obsolete inventory of $1,217,681 and $1,101,894 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Derivative Instruments

The Company’s interest rate risk management strategy uses derivative instruments to minimize cash flow risks caused by interest rate volatility associated with the Company’s variable rate debt. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the derivative instruments used to meet the Company’s risk management objectives were interest rate swaps. The Company chose not to apply hedge accounting for its interest rate swap agreements. Accordingly, the interest rate swaps are carried at their fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, with changes in their fair value recognized in current earnings (see Note 12).

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are included in other noncurrent assets and represent the direct costs of establishing the Company’s term and revolving debt. Deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method for term commitments and the straight-line method for revolving commitments.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2013 and 2012

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation of disposed assets are eliminated from the accounts and resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the asset. Capital leases are amortized over the lease term. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Leasehold improvements	5 – 25 years
Machinery and equipment	7 years
Furniture and fixtures	5 years
Vehicles	5 years
Computer software and equipment	3 years

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of customer relationships and trade names. The intangible assets were determined to have finite lives. Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets is recorded to reflect the pattern of economic benefits based on projected revenues over their respective estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are amortized by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (customer relationships—11 to 13 years and trade names—3 to 18 years).

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses the recoverability of property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable from its future undiscounted cash flows. If it is determined an impairment has occurred, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. No impairments were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and between annual tests, if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment exists, using a fair value-based approach. Any such impairment is recognized in the period identified. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company identifies goodwill related to each of its reporting units. The Company has determined it operates in two reporting units: wholesale and commercial. For purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment, assets and liabilities, including goodwill, were allocated to each reporting unit on the basis of relative fair value of each unit. No impairment of goodwill was recorded in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recognized when products are shipped or when title transfers to customers, if later, net of estimated returns and customer discounts.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2013 and 2012

Supplier Incentives

The Company receives monthly, quarterly and annual performance rebates from suppliers based on attaining certain purchase and/or sales goals. The Company receives other rebates from suppliers which are negotiated with suppliers and are not dependent on the Company meeting minimum purchase and/or sales goals. Suppliers’ rebates are recognized ratably based on the terms of the contracts or programs with each supplier and are recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. Supplier rebates are classified as a reduction of inventory when the incentive is part of a buying arrangement. Receivables from suppliers for rebates and incentives are included in other receivables in the consolidated balance sheet.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company includes in cost of goods sold the cost of tire and non-tire inventory sold. Warehousing and distribution costs, including costs associated with delivering product to customers are included in operating expenses. Total warehousing and distribution costs for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $39,148,000 and $37,992,000 respectively including approximately $14,619,000 and $14,842,000, respectively, related to shipping and handling.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred as part of operating expenses. The Company receives reimbursements from vendors for advertising costs. Reimbursements for advertising expenditures are reported on a net basis within operating expenses. Reimbursements received in excess of the cost of advertising are reported within cost of goods sold. Net advertising costs were $127,301 and $180,924 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for equity awards provided to employees in return for employee service. The Company issued both time vesting and performance-based stock options to certain employees. Time vesting options are measured at the fair value of the award at the grant date and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the service period. The performance-based options vest in tranches based on the Company meeting annual earnings targets and also contain a service requirement. Compensation expense for performance-based options is recorded over the relevant service period when it becomes probable that the contingent performance measures are expected to be met. Fair value is measured at the grant date and amortized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.

Income Taxes

There is no provision for federal and certain state income taxes in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, as an S-corporation is generally not subject to these taxes. Stockholders are individually subject to the income taxes on the Company’s results of operations and, accordingly, the Company pays distributions to the members to the extent needed to fund the stockholders’ tax obligations. Certain state and local jurisdictions do not recognize the flow-through status of an S-corporation and require minimum income tax expense. Accordingly, the Company has recognized a state and local income tax in the accompanying statement of operations for these jurisdictions.

3. Business Acquisitions

Kramer Tire

On May 13, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets associated with the wholesale distribution operations of two facilities located in Norfolk and Richmond, Virginia, from Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. The intent of the acquisition was to increase operations in the Mid-Atlantic market and reinforce relationships with Monro Muffler Brake, Inc.

The purchase price was $2,267,338 paid in cash. The purchase was accounted for on the acquisition method and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded based on their respective fair values at the acquisition date. Goodwill of $255,285 was recorded for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Transaction costs of $114,000 were expensed in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The purchase price was allocated as follows:

Assets
Inventories	$	1,433,277
Intangible assets		656,088
Goodwill		255,285
Other assets		12,480
Total assets acquired		2,357,130
Total liabilities assumed		(89,792	)
Fair value of net assets acquired	$	2,267,338

The estimated fair value of net assets acquired, including the allocation of the fair value to identifiable assets and liabilities, was determined using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy (see Fair Value Measurements in Note 13). The most significant assumptions include estimated remaining useful life, expected revenue, survivor curve, and earnings before interest and tax margins. These assumptions may vary based on future events, perceptions of different market participants and other factors outside the control of management, and such variations may be significant to estimated values.

4. Property and Equipment

Term and Revolving Debt

On November 30, 2011, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Agreement”) consisting of revolving and term debt with a lender group. The Agreement, which was amended on March 29, 2013, is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, but subordinate to certain vendor senior collateral positions.

The revolving commitment, including outstanding letters of credit, is available up to the lesser of $45,000,000 or an agreed-upon percentage of the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory and has a maturity date of November 30, 2016. The Company is required to pay commitment fees up to 0.375% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving commitment.

In connection with one of the Company’s leased facilities, an outstanding letter of credit is open for $94,444, and expires on December 20, 2014.

The term debt requires monthly principal payments of $535,714 through November 30, 2016. The remaining outstanding principal is due on November 30, 2016. The Agreement also contains provisions which, under certain circumstances, require the Company to make prepayments of the term loan commitment beginning in 2012, based on excess cash flows as defined in the Agreement.

Interest on the revolving loan and term loan is payable monthly based on 30 day LIBOR plus a margin that fluctuates between 2.25% and 3.50% based on the Company’s leverage ratio, as defined in the Agreement. At December 31, 2013, the margin was 3.50% with a total rate of 3.67%. At December 31, 2012, the margin was 2.75% with a total rate of 2.96%.

During 2013, the Company was in default of certain covenants under the agreement and entered into Forbearance Agreements dated October 23, 2013 and December 30, 2013 (the “Forbearance Agreements”). Subsequent to December 31, 2013 the company entered into the Credit Agreement Amendment (see Note 19) and the Forbearance Agreements have terminated. The new Credit Agreement Amendment refinanced and replaced the revolving and term loans on a long-term basis, revised future covenant requirements, and waived all previous covenant violations. Therefore, the outstanding balance of the revolving and term loans were classified as long-term debt as of December 31, 2013, except for the portion due in 2014.

Subordinated Loan

On November 30, 2011, the Company entered into a subordinated credit agreement (the “Subordinated Loan”) with a lender. The Subordinated Loan, which was amended on March 29, 2013, consists of term debt which

F-189

TTT Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2013 and 2012

is due in full on November 30, 2017. This term debt was issued at an original issue discount of $765,306. The Company amortizes the original issue discount over the life of the loan commitment using the effective interest method. The Subordinated Loan also contains provisions which, under certain circumstances, require the Company to make prepayments of the loan commitment beginning in 2013, based on excess cash flows as defined in the Subordinated Loan. The Subordinated Loan is unsecured and bears interest at 13.5%, of which at least 12% shall be payable in cash quarterly, through maturity. The remaining 1.5% may be paid in kind and added to the principal balance, at the Company’s option. During a portion of fiscal year 2013, the Company was in default of certain provisions under the Subordinated Loan. During the period of default, the Company was charged an incremental default interest rate of 2.00%. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company entered into the Subordinated Credit Amendment (see Note 19) and is no longer in default under that agreement. The Subordinated Loan allows for optional prepayments at redemption prices ranging from 100% to 103%, based on the date of the redemption.

During a portion of fiscal year 2013, interest payments under the Subordinated Loan were accrued and not paid current. These amounts are included in accrued liabilities (see Note 8). The Credit Agreement Amendment allows for the current payments of interest on the subordinated loan and the repayment of accrued interest during fiscal year 2014.

The Agreement and the Subordinated Loan contain certain restrictive financial covenants, which specify minimum net worth requirements, maximum liabilities to earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio and a minimum ratio of EBITDA to debt service cost, among others. The Company is also required to meet certain non-financial covenants, which include restrictions on indebtedness, liens and dividends.

Seller Note

The Company has a credit agreement with a former shareholder of the predecessor Company (the “Seller Note”) that matures on May 31, 2018. No principal payments are required to be made until the maturity date. The Seller Note bears interest at an annual rate of 13%, of which at least 10% is payable in cash on a quarterly basis, through maturity. The remaining 3% is considered paid-in-kind interest and is added to the principal balance. The Seller Note is subordinate to the Company’s other financing arrangements.

During a portion of 2013, interest payments under the Seller Note were accrued and not paid current. These amounts are included in accrued liabilities (see Note 8). The Credit Agreement Amendment allows for the current payments of interest on the Seller Note and the repayment of accrued interest during fiscal year 2014.

Other Debt

The Company’s other debt obligations primarily consist of vendor financing for ERP software. The obligation bears interest at an annual rate of 2% and equal quarterly payments are due until November 2015. At December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance for this obligation was approximately $1,075,000.

Aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt and capital lease obligations are as follows:

2014	$	7,005,747
2015		7,013,210
2016		34,654,724
2017		39,051,558

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company leases certain warehouse facilities, office facilities and vehicles under both capital and operating leases expiring at various dates through November 2020. The leases require the Company to pay taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain other operating expenses applicable to the leased facilities. The terms of certain warehouse and office facility leases call for minimum rents to increase each year. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for the rent expense under the straight-line method.

At December 31, 2013, future minimum lease payments for all leases and the present value of the net minimum lease payments for capital leases were as follows:

	Operating Leases				Capital Leases
	Total		Related Parties		Total
2014	$	8,135,719	$	2,113,788	$	73,259
2015		6,387,041		2,002,124		73,259
2016		4,289,523		773,820		73,259
2017		3,960,236		773,820		73,259
2018		4,083,657		773,820		73,259
Thereafter		8,678,393		1,483,155		85,051
Total minimum lease payments	$	35,534,569	$	7,920,527		451,346
Less: Amounts representing interest						149,401
Present value of net minimum lease payments						301,945
Less: Current maturities						33,205
Long-term obligations under capital leases					$	268,740

Total rent expense charged to operations, including $2,234,788 and $2,245,788 to related parties, was $10,746,232 and $9,857,191 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Legal

Contingent liabilities arise in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities. Various legal actions, proceedings and claims may be instituted or asserted in the future against the Company. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and it is possible that some of the legal proceedings and claims could be decided unfavorably to the Company. Based on information presently known, management does not believe any claims will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

Vendor Liens

The Company has agreements with certain inventory suppliers whereby the Company’s accounts payable to these suppliers ($64,083,743 and $85,713,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively) is collateralized by the Company’s inventory and accounts receivable. Their rights are senior to those of the debt holders (see Note 10).

Other

The Company has an unconditional obligation with a supplier for software maintenance services of approximately $416,000 in both 2014 and 2015.

12. Derivative Instruments

The Company has two separate interest rate swap agreements with a lender for the purpose of reducing certain exposures to interest rate fluctuations on the variable rate term debt. The notional amount of each of the swaps is $25,000,000. In accordance with the swap agreements, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest of 2.10% and 2.12% plus the applicable spread, and receives a floating rate of the lenders’ LIBOR rate plus the applicable spread. One of the swap agreements expires in November 2015 and the other swap agreement expires in January 2016.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was $(779,412) and $(1,341,780). The resulting change in fair value was included as a decrease in interest expense, net and was $562,368 and $224,525 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

13. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures or monitors certain assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is used on a recurring basis for assets and liabilities in which fair value is the primary basis of accounting, mainly derivative instruments. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principle or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The Company applies the fair value hierarchy, and when possible looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets and liabilities. If identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to market observable data for similar assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2	Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3	Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2013:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Liabilities
Derivative instruments	$	—	$	779,412	$	—	$	779,412
Long-term debt		—		—		98,484,865		98,484,865

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2013 and 2012

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps are estimated using discounted cash flows that use market observable inputs of forward interest rate yield curves and a Company-specific risk adjusted discount rate. The fair value of long-term debt reflects the present value of future cash outflows relating to the obligation based on estimated credit market interest premiums and expected future interest rates.

The carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.

14. Stockholders’ Equity

Common shares are entitled to one vote per share on all matters upon which stockholders have the right to vote under law or the Company’s Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”), which was amended on November 30, 2011.

On August 13, 2013, the stockholders of the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription”) to acquire $20,000,000 of voting common stock at a price of $1,000 per share (a total of 20,000 shares), based on their pro-rata ownership position in the Company. On October 17, 2013, the stockholders purchased 5,000 shares under the Subscription in the amount of $5,000,000. As of December 31, 2013, there are 15,000 remaining shares available for purchase.

The Stockholders Agreement also provides for annual tax distributions on the taxable income allocated to each stockholder.

The Company is authorized to issue 15,000 non-voting shares, none of which are outstanding at December 31, 2013 or 2012.

15. Mezzanine Equity

Two stockholders have the right to require the Company to purchase up to approximately half of their respective common shares at a future date (the “Put Options”). The Put Options are exercisable at the option of the holder for a 90 day window beginning on November 23, 2015 and November 23, 2018 for one of the stockholders and November 30, 2016 and November 30, 2019 for the second stockholder. If the Put Options are exercised, the Company would purchase the put common shares at a price equal to the fair market value of the shares at the put option exercise date. As the Put Options are a redemption right which is outside the Company’s control, under Regulation S-X, the Company should have classified this redeemable common stock in the mezzanine equity section in the accompanying Balance Sheets at its redemption value, which is equal to fair value, and recorded changes in fair value to Additional paid-in capital since the Company has an accumulated deficit. The financial statements previously presented the redeemable common stock within Stockholders’ Equity. The 2013 and 2012 Balance Sheets and Statement of Stockholders’ Equity have been revised to correct the misstatement in presentation of the redeemable common stock as Mezzanine Equity. The impact of this revision is as follows and was not material to the current or prior year financial statements.

Total stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was reduced by $8,875,516, $14,212,482, and $11,406,620, respectively primarily reflecting a reduction in Additional paid-in capital, and Mezzanine Equity was increased at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 by the same amounts. There was no effect on the statements of operations or cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012. The fair value of the common shares subject to the put options was calculated using a discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow valuation method uses assumptions, the most significant of which include: future revenue growth, future earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, marginal tax rate, terminal value growth rate, weighted average cost of capital and discount rate.

16. Stock Based Compensation

The Company has 8,000 nonvoting common shares authorized for issuance under TTT Holdings Equity Incentive Plan (“Equity Incentive Plan”). As of December 31, 2013, the Equity Incentive Plan had 3,661 nonvoting common shares available for granting. The Equity Incentive Plan permits the grant of a variety of stock and stock-based awards, including restricted stock or stock options, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. To date, the Company has stock options which expire no later than ten years from the date of grant and will become exercisable as directed by the Board of Directors. The time vesting stock options generally vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period, while the performance based stock options vest in tranches based on the Company meeting annual earnings targets and also contain a service requirement.

Stock-based compensation expense was $538,010 and $418,006 during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which was recorded in operating expenses in the statement of operations. Of the total stock-based compensation expense recognized, $0 was related to performance-based options during both years ending December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is based on the grant-date fair value. The fair value of stock option grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility of comparable public companies for a period equal to the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury interest rates with a remaining term which approximates the expected life of the options assumed at the date of grant.

The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options granted during 2013 are as follows:

Expected volatility	46.81	%
Expected term (years)	6.35
Risk free interest rate	3.03	%
Expected dividend yield	0.00	%

The weighted average grant date fair value of options is as follows:

	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at December 31, 2011		3,301		$	473
Granted		1,600			486
Vested		(791	)		458
Forfeited		(792	)		467
Nonvested at December 31, 2012		3,318			482
Granted		1,032			762
Vested		(960	)		612
Forfeited		(1,885	)		515
Nonvested at December 31, 2013		1,505			808

Exercisable at December 31, 2013		2,835			1,021		7.06

There was $1,180,904 and $1,599,276 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The cost is expected to be recognized through 2016. During 2013, the company settled outstanding vested stock options by paying fair value less exercise price of $150,000. These shares are included in “cancelled/expired” categories in the tables above.

17. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) savings plan covering substantially all full-time employees. The Company matches 25% of each participating employee’s elective deferral amount. The Company’s expense related to this matching contribution totaled approximately $223,576 and $247,229 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, the Company has the option of making an annual discretionary profit-sharing contribution. No profit-sharing contribution was declared for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

18. Related Party Transactions

In accordance with a management services agreement dated November 23, 2010, the Company pays $600,000 annually to Robert D. Walter Company, an affiliate of the Company, for corporate support functions. On August 26, 2013, the agreement was amended to bear interest at 13% for unpaid balances. Management fee expense totaled $600,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and is included in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. During a portion of 2013, management fees under the management services agreement were accrued and not paid current. These amounts are included in accrued liabilities (see Note 8) and amounted to $154,928 and $0 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Credit Agreement Amendment (see Note 19) allows for the current payment of these management fees during fiscal year 2014.

The Company has various building leases with two separate related parties. The terms of these lease agreement range from four to ten years from the rent commencement dates with varying renewal options.

19. Subsequent Events

On January 28, 2014 the Company amended the term and revolving debt credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”). The major amended terms of the Credit Agreement Amendment are as follows:

• A revolving credit commitment including outstanding letters of credit up to the lesser of $60,000,000 or an agreed-upon percentage of the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory. A portion of the revolving credit facility was used to repay in full the Company’s term loan.

• The maturity date is June 30, 2015.

• Interest is payable monthly based on the 30 day LIBOR plus a margin that fluctuates between 2.50% and 3.50% based on the Company’s leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment.

• A commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving commitment.

• Certain financial covenants are provided for, including a maximum senior funded debt to EBITDA ratio, and a minimum ratio of EBITDA to debt service costs and other fixed charges.

In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement Amendment, existing shareholders of the Company invested $12,500,000 of equity into the Company (see Note 14).

In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Company also amended the subordinated loan credit agreement (the “Subordinated Credit Amendment”). The Subordinated Credit Amendment was amended to provide for financial covenants and other terms consistent with the Credit Agreement Amendment. In connection with entering into the Subordinated Credit Amendment, existing shareholders provided subordinated loans to the Company in the net amount of $7,500,000. These loans bear interest for the first 18 months at 14.5%, all of which is paid-in-kind and added to the principal balance. Thereafter, these loans bear interest at 13.5%, of which 12.0% is payable in cash quarterly and the remaining 1.5% will be paid-in-kind and added to the principal balance. These loans are due November 30, 2017.

On February 17, 2014, American Tire Distributors, Inc. entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the Company. The consummation of the Acquisition, which is subject to customary closing conditions is expected to occur by the end of first quarter or early in the second quarter of 2014. The Stock Purchase Agreement provides for the payment of aggregate cash consideration of $345,000,000 subject to certain customary pre-closing requirements, plus up to $20,000,000 in additional consideration contingent upon the occurrence of certain post-closing events. The closing purchase price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including, but not limited to, working capital adjustments.

The Company has considered subsequent events through February 28, 2014, the date on which the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors of

TTT Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of TTT Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders’ equity and mezzanine equity and of cash flows for the years then ended.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TTT Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

TTT Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2012 and 2011

1. Description of Business

TTT Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) is incorporated in Delaware as an S-Corporation. Terry’s Tire Town Holdings, Inc. (“TTT”), its wholly owned subsidiary, is incorporated in Ohio as an S-corporation. Through its operating subsidiaries, TTT’s primary operations are as a wholesale distributor of tires and accessories throughout the eastern half of the United States. During 2011, TTT formed Summit Tire Northeast, LLC (“Summit”) to acquire the assets of Summit Tire of Massachusetts, Inc., a wholesale tire distributor with operations focused in the New England area and TTT directly acquired the stock of Englewood Tire Wholesale, Inc. (“Englewood”), a wholesale tire distributor with operations focused primarily in the Greater New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area (See Note 3). TTT sold its retail division during 2011 to another automotive retail company (See Note 17). Holdings has no significant assets or operations other than its ownership of TTT. The operations of TTT constitutes the operations of Holdings.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings, TTT and each of TTT’s wholly owned subsidiaries and entities controlled by TTT but not wholly-owned (collectively the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity the Company does not own in the controlled entities included in the financial statements. The Company identifies its noncontrolling interests separately within the equity section on the consolidated balance sheet. The amounts of consolidated net earnings attributable to the Company and to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates include the Company’s valuation of doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory reserves, valuation of goodwill, share-based compensation, the fair value of derivative instruments, the fair value of purchased assets and liabilities, including intangible assets and related useful lives assigned to such assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties to be cash and cash equivalents. Such investments are carried at their cost, which approximates their estimated fair market value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The majority of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were deposited with large banking institutions. The Company maintains cash deposits in banks which, from time to time, exceed the amount of deposit insurance available. Management periodically assesses the financial condition of the institutions and believes that any potential credit loss is minimal.

TTT Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2012 and 2011

Accounts Receivable

Trade receivables represent amounts due from product sales in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of customers’ financial condition, and trade receivables are generally not collateralized.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable losses for uncollected receivables. The Company determines the allowance based on customer risk, the length of time accounts are past due, and historical write-off experience. Account balances are charged to the allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The total adjustment to reduce accounts receivable to the recoverable amount was $2,885,703 and $3,496,273 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories consist of products held for resale and are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by the last-in, first-out method (“LIFO”) for tire inventory and at moving average cost for non-tire inventory. The LIFO reserve was $4,576,974 and $3,315,201 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The composition of inventory valued at LIFO and FIFO is as follows:

	2012		2011
Inventory at LIFO (primarily tire inventory)	$	101,192,482	$	93,413,218
Inventory at FIFO (primarily non-tire inventory)		4,301,739		3,709,228
	$	105,494,221	$	97,122,446

The above balances are presented net for slow-moving and obsolete inventory of $1,101,894 and $887,022 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Derivative Instruments

The Company’s interest rate risk management strategy uses derivative instruments to minimize cash flow risks caused by interest rate volatility associated with the Company’s variable rate debt. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the derivative instruments used to meet the Company’s risk management objectives were interest rate swaps. The Company chose not to apply hedge accounting for its interest rate swap agreements. Accordingly, the interest rate swaps are carried at their fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, with changes in their fair value recognized in current earnings (See Note 11).

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are included in other noncurrent assets and represent the direct costs of establishing the Company’s term and revolving debt. Deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method for term commitments and the straight-line method for revolving commitments.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized. The cost and accumulated

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2012 and 2011

depreciation of disposed assets are eliminated from the accounts and resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the asset. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Leasehold improvements	5 – 25 years
Machinery and equipment	7 years
Furniture and fixtures	5 years
Vehicles	5 years
Computer software and equipment	3 years

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of customer relationships and trade names. The intangible assets were determined to have finite lives. Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets is recorded to reflect the pattern of economic benefits based on projected revenues over their respective estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are amortized by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (customer relationships—11 to 13 years and trade names—3 to 18 years).

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses the recoverability of property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable from its future undiscounted cash flows. If it is determined an impairment has occurred, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. No impairments were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and between annual tests, if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment exists, using a fair value-based approach. Any such impairment is recognized in the period identified. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company identifies goodwill related to each of its reporting units. The Company has determined it operates in two reporting units: wholesale and commercial. For purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment, assets and liabilities, including goodwill, were allocated to each reporting unit on the basis of relative fair value of each unit. No impairment of goodwill was recorded in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recognized when products are shipped or when title transfers to customers, if later, net of estimated returns and customer discounts.

Supplier Incentives

The Company receives monthly, quarterly and annual performance rebates from suppliers based on attaining certain purchase and/or sales goals. The Company receives other rebates from suppliers which are negotiated with suppliers and are not dependent on the Company meeting minimum purchase and/or sales goals. Suppliers’ rebates are recognized ratably based on the terms of the contracts or programs with each supplier and

F-205

TTT Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2012 and 2011

are recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. Supplier rebates are classified as a reduction of inventory when the incentive is part of buying arrangement. Receivables from suppliers for rebates and incentives are included in other receivables in the consolidated balance sheet.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company includes in cost of goods sold the cost of tire and non-tire inventory sold. Warehousing and distribution costs, including costs associated with delivering product to customers are included in operating expenses. Total warehousing and distribution costs for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $37,992,000 and $18,170,000, respectively including approximately $14,842,000 and $8,298,000, respectively, related to shipping and handling.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred as part of operating expenses. The Company receives reimbursements from vendors for advertising costs. Reimbursements for advertising expenditures are reported on a net basis within operating expenses. Reimbursements received in excess of the cost of advertising are reported within cost of goods sold. Net advertising costs were $180,924 and $243,436 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for equity awards provided to employees in return for employee service. The Company issued both time vesting and performance-based stock options to certain employees. Time vesting options are measured at the fair value of the award at the grant date and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the service period. The performance-based options vest in tranches based on the Company meeting annual earnings targets and also contain a service requirement. Compensation expense for performance-based options is recorded over the relevant service period when it becomes probable that the contingent performance measures are expected to be met. Fair value is measured at the grant date and amortized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.

Income Taxes

There is no provision for federal and certain state income taxes in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, as an S-corporation is generally not subject to these taxes. Stockholders are individually subject to the income taxes on the Company’s results of operations and, accordingly, the Company pays distributions to the members to the extent needed to fund the stockholders’ tax obligations. Certain state and local jurisdictions do not recognize the flow-through status of an S-corporation and require minimum income tax expense. Accordingly, the Company has recognized a state and local income tax in the accompanying statement of operations for these jurisdictions.

3. Business Acquisitions

Summit Tire Northeast, LLC

On February 28, 2011, the Company, through its newly formed subsidiary Summit Tire Northeast, LLC, acquired substantially all of the assets of Summit Tire of Massachusetts, Inc. Summit is in the business of wholesale distribution of tires and tire accessories throughout the New England area.

Accounts receivable was decreased by $1,422,307 to reflect additional uncollectible accounts, inventory was decreased by $262,218 to reflect additional slow-moving items and liabilities were increased $113,411 to reflect cash discounts against payables previously estimated. These adjustments resulted in additional goodwill of $1,797,936.

Kramer Tire

On May 13, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets associated with the wholesale distribution operations of two facilities located in Norfolk and Richmond, Virginia, from Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. The intent of the acquisition was to increase operations in the Mid-Atlantic market and reinforce relationships with Monro Muffler Brake, Inc.

The purchase price was $2,267,338 paid in cash. The purchase was accounted for on the acquisition method and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded based on their respective fair values at the acquisition date. Goodwill of $255,285 was recorded for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Transaction costs of $114,000 were expensed in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The purchase price was allocated as follows:

Assets
Inventories	$	1,433,277
Intangible assets		656,088
Goodwill		255,285
Other assets		12,480
Total assets acquired		2,357,130
Total liabilities assumed		(89,792	)
Fair value of net assets acquired	$	2,267,338

The estimated fair value of net assets acquired, including the allocation of the fair value to identifiable assets and liabilities, was determined using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy (See Fair Value

F-208

TTT Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2012 and 2011

Measurements in Note 12). The estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets, consisting of customer relationships for Summit, Englewood and Kramer, and the Summit and Englewood trade names were determined using an income approach based on excess cash flow, relief of royalty and discounted cash flow methods. The discounted cash flow valuation method requires the use of assumptions, the most significant of which include: future revenue growth, future earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, estimated synergies to be achieved by a market participant as a result of the business combination, marginal tax rate, terminal value growth rate, weighted average cost of capital and discount rate.

The excess earnings method used to value customer relationships requires the use of assumptions the most significant of which include: the remaining useful life, expected revenue, survivor curve, earnings before interest and tax margins, marginal tax rate, contributory asset charges, discount rate and tax amortization benefit. The most significant assumptions under the relief of royalty method include: estimated remaining useful life, expected revenue, royalty rate, tax rate, discount rate and tax amortization benefit. Management, with the assistance of a third party valuation specialist, has developed these assumptions on the basis of knowledge of the business and projected financial information of Summit, Englewood and Kramer. These assumptions may vary based on future events, perceptions of different market participants and other factors outside the control of management, and such variations may be significant to estimated values.

Term and Revolving Debt

On November 30, 2011, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Agreement”) consisting of revolving and term debt with a lender group. The Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

The revolving commitment including outstanding letters of credit is available up to the lesser of $45,000,000 or an agreed-upon percentage of the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory and has a maturity date of November 30, 2016. The Company is required to pay commitment fees up to 0.375% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving commitment.

The total term loan commitment is $45,000,000 and requires monthly principal payments of $535,714 through November 30, 2016. The remaining outstanding principal is due on November 30, 2016. The Agreement also contains provisions which, under certain circumstances, require the Company to make prepayments of the term loan commitment beginning in 2012, based on excess cash flows as defined in the Agreement.

Interest on the revolving loan and term loan is payable monthly based on 30 day LIBOR plus a margin that fluctuates between 2.25% and 3.50% based on the Company’s leverage ratio, as defined in the Agreement. At December 31, 2012, the margin was 2.75% with a total rate of 2.96%. At December 31, 2011, the margin was 2.75% with a total rate of 3.05%.

Subordinated Loan

On November 30, 2011, the Company entered into a subordinated credit agreement (the “Subordinated Loan”) with a lender. The Subordinated Loan consists of term debt which is due in full on November 30, 2017. This term debt was issued at an original issue discount of $765,306. The Company amortizes the original issue discount over the life of the loan commitment using the effective interest method. The Subordinated Loan also contains provisions which, under certain circumstances, require the Company to make prepayments of the loan commitment beginning in 2013, based on excess cash flows as defined in the Subordinated Loan. The Subordinated Loan is unsecured and bears interest at 13.5%, of which at least 12% shall be payable in cash

quarterly, through maturity. The remaining 1.5% may be paid in kind and added to the principal balance, at the Company’s option. The Subordinated Loan allows for optional prepayments at redemption prices ranging from 100% to 103%, based on the date of the redemption.

The Subordinated Loan also allowed for a delayed draw term commitment of up to $28,061,224. The Company did not make any borrowings under the delayed draw term commitment which expired on November 30, 2012.

The Agreement and the Subordinated Loan contain certain restrictive financial covenants, which specify minimum net worth requirements, maximum liabilities to earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio and a minimum ratio of EBITDA to debt service cost, among others. The Company is also required to meet certain non-financial covenants, which include restrictions on indebtedness, liens and dividends.

Seller Note

The Company has a credit agreement with a former shareholder of the predecessor Company (the “Seller Note”) that matures on May 31, 2018. No principal payments are required to be made until the maturity date. The Seller Note bears interest at an annual rate of 13%, of which at least 10% is payable in cash on a quarterly basis, through maturity. The remaining 3% is considered paid-in-kind interest and is added to the principal balance. The seller note is subordinate to the Company’s other financing arrangements.

Aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt are as follows:

2013	$	7,676,809
2014		6,428,568
2015		6,428,568
2016		21,598,316
2017		38,703,833
Thereafter		10,632,877
	$	91,468,971

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company leases certain warehouse facilities, office facilities and vehicles under operating leases expiring at various dates through November 2020. The leases require the Company to pay taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain other operating expenses applicable to the leased facilities. The terms of certain warehouse and office facility leases call for minimum rents to increase each year. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for the rent expense under the straight-line method.

	$	10,155,315	$	41,792,647	$	51,947,962

Total rent expense charged to operations, including $2,245,788 and $1,416,984 to related parties, was $9,857,191 and $5,389,072 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Legal

Contingent liabilities arise in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities. Various legal actions, proceedings and claims may be instituted or asserted in the future against the Company. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and it is possible that some of the legal proceedings and claims could be decided unfavorably to the Company. Based on information presently known, management does not believe any claims will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

11. Derivative Instruments

The Company has two separate interest rate swap agreements with a lender for the purpose of reducing certain exposures to interest rate fluctuations on the variable rate term debt. The notional amount of each of the swaps is $25,000,000. In accordance with the swap agreements, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest of 2.10% and 2.12% plus the applicable spread, and receives a floating rate of the lenders’ LIBOR rate plus the applicable spread. One of the swap agreements expires in November 2015 and the other swap agreement expires in January 2016.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was ($1,341,780) and ($1,566,305). The resulting loss in their fair value from December 31, 2010 was included as an increase in interest expense, net and was $(224,525) and $825,076 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

12. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures or monitors certain assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is used on a recurring basis for assets and liabilities in which fair value is the primary basis of accounting, mainly derivative instruments. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principle or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The Company applies the fair value hierarchy, and when possible looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets and liabilities. If identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to market observable data for similar assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

F-214

TTT Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2012 and 2011

Level 2	Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3	Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2012:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Liabilities
Derivative instruments	$	—	$	1,341,780	$	—	$	1,341,780
Long-term debt		—		—		90,869,481		90,869,481

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2011:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Liabilities
Derivative instruments	$	—	$	1,566,305	$	—	$	1,566,305
Long-term debt		—		—		103,634,396		103,634,396

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps are estimated using discounted cash flows that use market observable inputs of forward interest rate yield curves and a Company-specific risk adjusted discount rate. The fair value of long-term debt reflects the present value of future cash outflows relating to the obligation based on estimated credit market interest premiums and expected future interest rates.

The carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.

13. Stockholders’ Equity

On November 23, 2010, the Company issued 56,179 shares of common stock under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement of which 5,590 are redeemable. A total of 85,000 shares were originally authorized at November 23, 2010. On November 30, 2011, an additional 23,716 shares were issued of which 2,736 are redeemable. Of the 23,716 shares issued, 5,473 were issued as consideration for the purchase of Englewood. The total number of authorized shares was increased to 150,000 shares. Common shares are entitled to one vote per share and are entitled to vote on all matters upon which stockholders have the right to vote under law or the Company’s Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) which was amended on November 30, 2011.

The Stockholders Agreement also provides for annual tax distributions on the taxable income allocated to each stockholder.

The Company is authorized to issue 15,000 non-voting shares, none of which are outstanding at December 31, 2012 or 2011.

14. Mezzanine Equity

Two stockholders have the right to require the Company to purchase up to approximately half of their respective common shares at a future date (the “Put Options”). The Put Options are exercisable at the option of

F-215

TTT Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2012 and 2011

the holder for a 90 day window beginning on November 23, 2015 and November 23, 2018 for one of the stockholders and November 30, 2016 and November 30, 2019 for the second stockholder. If the Put Options are exercised, the Company would purchase the put common shares at a price equal to the fair market value of the shares at the put option exercise date. As the Put Options are a redemption right which is outside the Company’s control, under Regulation S-X, the Company should have classified this redeemable common stock in the mezzanine equity section in the accompanying Balance Sheets at its redemption value, which is equal to fair value, and recorded changes in fair value to Additional paid-in capital since the Company has an accumulated deficit. The financial statements previously presented the redeemable common stock within Stockholders’ Equity. The 2012 and 2011 Balance Sheets and Statement of Stockholders’ Equity have been revised to correct the misstatement in presentation of the redeemable common stock as Mezzanine Equity. The impact of this revision is as follows and was not material to the current or prior year financial statements.

Total stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was reduced by $14,212,482, $11,406,620, and $5,589,500, respectively primarily reflecting a reduction in Additional paid-in capital, and Mezzanine Equity was increased at December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 by the same amounts. Proceeds from the issuance of common stock were decreased and proceeds from the issuance of redeemable stock were increased by $3,749,005 within the presentation of cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011. There was no effect on the statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 or 2011 and no effect on the statement of cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2012. The fair value of common shares subject to the put options at December 31, 2012 was calculated using a discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow valuation method uses assumptions, the most significant of which include: future revenue growth, future earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, marginal tax rate, terminal value growth rate, weighted average cost of capital and discount rate. The fair value of common shares subject to the put options at December 31, 2011 was calculated by using the fair value of common stock issued in a recent market transaction.

Subsequent to the revision discussed above, the statement of cash flows was further revised to increase the proceeds from the issuance of common stock and decrease the proceeds from the issuance of redeemable common stock by $3,749,005. This revision had no effect on total cash flows from financing activities. During 2011, 18,243 common shares were issued for cash of $25,000,390. Additionally, 2,737 common shares and 2,736 redeemable common shares were issued as non-cash consideration in exchange for the acquisition of Englewood (see Note 3). The impact of this revision was not material to the previously issued financial statements.

15. Stock Based Compensation

In November 2010, the Board of Directors approved the TTT Holdings Equity Incentive Plan (“Equity Incentive Plan”). In November 2011, the Board of Directors increased the number of nonvoting common shares authorized for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan to 8,000. As of December 31, 2012, the Equity Incentive Plan had 1,647 nonvoting common shares available for granting in the form of stock options. The Equity Incentive Plan permits the grant of a variety of stock and stock-based awards, including restricted stock or stock options, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. To date, the Company has stock options which expire no later than ten years from the date of grant and will become exercisable as directed by the Board of Directors. The time vesting stock options generally vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period, while the performance based stock options vest in tranches based on the Company meeting annual earnings targets and also contain a service requirement.

Stock-based compensation expense was $418,006 and $703,712 during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which was recorded in operating expenses in the statement of operations. Of the total stock-based compensation expense recognized, $0 and $327,950 related to performance-based options during the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is based on the grant-date fair value. The fair value of stock option grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes option

December 31, 2012 and 2011

pricing model. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility of comparable public companies for a period equal to the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury interest rates with a remaining term which approximates the expected life of the options assumed at the date of grant.

The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options granted during 2012 are as follows:

Expected volatility	46.22	%
Expected term (years)	6.36
Risk free interest rate	1.80	%
Expected dividend yield	0.00	%

The weighted average grant date fair value of options is as follows:

	Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at December 31, 2010		4,352	$	452
Granted		401		652
Vested		1,451		452
Forfeited		—		—
Nonvested at December 31, 2011		3,302		473

Vested		792		457
Forfeited		792		467
Nonvested at December 31, 2012		3,318	$	482

A summary of option activity as of December 31, 2012 and changes during the period is presented below:

	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)
Outstanding at December 31, 2010		4,352	$	1,000

Exercisable at December 31, 2012		2,243	$	1,011		7.94

There was $1,599,276 and $1,515,325 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The cost is expected to be recognized through 2016.

16. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) savings plan covering substantially all full-time employees. The Company matches 25% of each participating employee’s elective deferral amount. The Company’s expense related

to this matching contribution totaled approximately $247,229 and $140,873 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, the Company has the option of making an annual discretionary profit-sharing contribution. No profit-sharing contribution was declared for the year ended December 31, 2012.

17. Discontinued Operations

On October 9, 2011, the Company sold the retail division to a strategic buyer for approximately $4,900,000, less certain selling costs, in an asset acquisition agreement. The results of operations of the retail division have been presented as discontinued operations.

The major classes of assets and liabilities disposed of are as follows:

Inventories	$	785,066
Property and equipment, net		894,780
Goodwill		1,271,171
Accrued liabilities		62,152
	$	3,013,169

The following is a summary of the operating results for the retail reporting unit for the year ended December 31, 2011:

18. Related Party Transactions

In accordance with a management services agreement dated November 23, 2010, the Company pays $600,000 annually to Robert D. Walter Company, an affiliate of the Company, for corporate support functions. Management fee expense totaled $600,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and is included in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. There were no outstanding accounts payable at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The Company has various building leases with two separate related parties. The terms of these lease agreement range from four to ten years from the rent commencement dates with varying renewal options.

Prior to their respective acquisitions, TTT, Englewood and Summit periodically made sales to one another. Total pre-acquisition sales between these companies totaled $972,268 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

19. Subsequent Events

In March 2013, the Company amended the term and revolving debt credit agreement and the subordinated loan credit agreement. These amendments modify the minimum net worth requirements, maximum liabilities to EBITDA ratio and the minimum ratio of EBITDA to debt service cost covenants and are now less restrictive.

The Company has considered subsequent events through April 30, 2013, the date on which the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Hercules Tire & Rubber Company and Subsidiaries as of October 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Hercules Tire & Rubber Company and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

October 31, 2013 and 2012

Note 1—Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

The Hercules Tire & Rubber Company and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a leading marketer of replacement tires in the U.S., Canada, and globally. The Company offers an extensive selection of passenger, ultra-high performance, light truck, medium truck, trailer, off-the-road, industrial, and specialty tires manufactured by its worldwide supplier network. In addition to its Hercules flag brand, the Company also markets the controlled brands of Ironman and Avalanche. The Company is also a major distributor of many select manufacturer brands throughout the Company’s global distribution network.

The Company is headquartered in Findlay, Ohio and operates 21 regional wholesale distribution operations throughout North America. Current locations reside in Arizona, California, Colorado, Ohio, Texas, Illinois, Florida, Oregon, Washington, Ontario (Canada), British Columbia (Canada), Montreal (Canada), and New Brunswick (Canada) using the names TDW (Tire Dealers Warehouse) or Hercules Tire Canada. The Company operates on an international basis in the U.S., Canada, and China under the name Hercules Tire International. The international organization’s presence includes warehouse operations in Qingdao (China), Ontario (Canada), Ohio, and Florida with representative offices in Guangzhou (China), Ontario (Canada), and Florida.

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Hercules Tire & Rubber Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Hercules Tire Company of Canada, Inc. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Receivables—In the course of extending credit to its customers, the Company occasionally requires notes receivable or security interests in inventory and other property, mortgages, personal guarantees, and other collateral. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, and the customer’s current obligation to pay the Company. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received are credited to bad debt recoveries. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $1,561,000 and $1,540,000 as of October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Revenue Recognition—Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products is recognized once the risk and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customers, which, in most cases, coincide with shipment of the products. For other cases involving export sales, the title transfers when the products are delivered to the port of embarkation or when they are received at the port of the country of destination. Late payment charges are assessed for invoices not paid by the due date. Such charges are recognized in income when collected. Cash discounts are treated as a reduction to sales and are provided for based on historical experience and current estimates.

Inventory—Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory includes product, duty, freight, and other direct costs.

F-225

The Hercules Tire & Rubber Company and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

October 31, 2013 and 2012

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful lives, ranging from 3 to 40 years, of the various classes of assets using the straight-line method. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

Goodwill—The recorded amounts of goodwill from prior business combinations are based on management’s best estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is assessed at least on an annual basis for impairment.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets—When indicators of impairment are present, management evaluates the net carrying value of long-lived assets by considering estimated future cash flows from both use and disposal of the assets. No impairment charges were recognized in 2013 and 2012.

Intangible Assets—Indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of trademarks, are carried at historical cost and are not amortized. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually as of October 31, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. The impairment analysis compares the estimated fair value of these assets to the related carrying value and an impairment charge is recorded for any excess of carrying value over estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is based upon projected cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risks involved.

Acquired intangible assets subject to amortization are stated at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

Deferred Finance Charges—Deferred finance charges represent legal, consulting, and financial costs associated with debt financing (see Note 5) and are reported net of accumulated amortization, resulting in balances of approximately $480,000 and $1,318,000 at October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Such charges are being amortized over the respective terms of the debt agreements. Amortization costs totaling approximately $833,000 and $775,000 for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to deferred finance charges are included in general and administrative expenses.

Stock-based Compensation—The Company has adopted the fair value method of recording stock-based employee compensation as contained in accounting standards. As a result of adopting the fair value method, stock options and the incentive plan are expensed over the vesting period of the options/plan.

Income Taxes—A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the year. Deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax accounting.

Foreign Currency Translation—Assets and liabilities of the Company’s Canadian wholesale distribution division, Hercules Tire Company of Canada, Inc., are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the close of the period. Income and expenses are translated at an average rate of exchange for the period. The aggregate effect of translating the consolidated financial statements is included in other comprehensive income.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)—Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, however, such as foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on certain derivative instruments, are reported as a direct adjustment to the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are considered components of comprehensive income (loss).

F-226

The Hercules Tire & Rubber Company and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

October 31, 2013 and 2012

Included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at October 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately ($380,000) and ($742,000), respectively, related to the foreign currency translation adjustment. There was no interest rate swap cash flow hedge at October 31, 2013 and there was approximately ($169,000) related to the interest rate swap cash flow hedge at October 31, 2012.

The cash flow hedge recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) was $171,372 and $169,125, respectively, net of tax expense of $100,647 and $99,331, respectively, during the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012.

During fiscal year 2013, the Company adopted new guidance related to the presentation of comprehensive income in the financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance eliminated the prior option to only present comprehensive income in the statement of equity. The Company has elected to report comprehensive income in a single statement of operations and comprehensive income. The change in presentation has been applied retrospectively and the October 31, 2012 financial statements have been restated to conform to the new presentation method. Other than the change in presentation of comprehensive income and related disclosures, the new guidance did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

Shipping and Handling Costs—The Company records shipping and handling costs for the delivery of finished goods in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Total shipping and handling costs for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $26,906,000 and $27,141,000, respectively.

Major Suppliers—During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Company’s three largest suppliers accounted for 22 percent, 21 percent, and 9 percent, respectively, of the Company’s tire purchases. During the year ended October 31, 2012, the Company’s three largest suppliers accounted for 25 percent, 19 percent, and 7 percent, respectively, of the Company’s tire purchases.

Subsequent Events—The consolidated financial statements and related disclosures include evaluation of events up through and including December 19, 2013, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable, line of credit, and bank note payable approximate their fair value due to either the short maturity of such instruments or the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates. The fair value of the interest rate swap generally reflects the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contract at the reporting date.

Reclassification—Certain 2012 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation.

Aggregate outstanding borrowings are limited to a percentage of U.S. and Canadian trade accounts receivable and inventory. Outstanding Canadian and U.S. borrowings are limited to $25 million and $117 million, respectively in both 2013 and 2012. Borrowings accrue interest based on the prime rate, banker’s acceptance rate, or eurodollar rate, plus a rate spread, which is dependent on the Company’s leverage ratio as defined in the agreement. A commitment fee on the Company’s total unused borrowing capacity is paid quarterly. Unused availability, net of outstanding letters of credit, aggregated approximately $42,775,000 at October 31, 2013 and $46,355,000 at October 31, 2012.

The balance of the above debt matures as follows:

2014	$	4,570,000
2015		5,155,000
2016		1,070,000
2017		1,155,000
2018		1,235,000
Total	$	13,185,000

Interest expense for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $6,700,000 and $6,597,000, respectively.

Under the agreements with the bank for both the term loan and line of credit described in Note 5, the Company is subject to various financial covenants, including fixed charge coverage, consolidated capital funds test, and minimum EBITDA test.

The Company follows current guidance relating to accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, which requires that all derivative instruments be reported on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value as either assets or liabilities and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of transactions entered into for hedging purposes.

In June 2010, the Company entered into an interest rate swap that fixed the rate on a notional amount of $45,000,000. The Company determined that the derivative instruments meet the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting. During fiscal year 2013 the interest rate swap contract expired. The fair value of the swap was approximately $268,000 of liability on October 31, 2012. The net change in fair value during fiscal year 2012 was recorded, net of income taxes, in other comprehensive income. There was no impact on net income for the year ended October 31, 2012 because the swap was an effective cash flow hedge.

Note 7—Income Taxes

The components of the income tax provision included in the consolidated statement of operations are all attributable to continuing operations and are detailed as follows:

	2013			2012
U.S. federal	$	3,624,000		$	2,017,000

The Company is not currently under examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any state or local tax authorities. The Company’s federal income tax returns for the years prior to October 31, 2010 are no longer subject to examination. The Company had an Internal Revenue Service audit through October 31, 2008. The Company also files in various states within the U.S., most notably California and Florida. The state tax returns prior to October 31, 2008 are no longer subject to examination.

The Company was under audit with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) during fiscal year 2012 for the 2009 and 2010 tax years. The CRA has completed its audit and has assessed an insignificant amount of taxes owed. The Company is in the process of appealing. The additional taxes, if any, are deemed insignificant by management.

Note 8—Capital Stock

Common stock consists of 1,500,000 authorized shares of no par value stock. As of October 31, 2013 and 2012, there were 1,034,172 shares issued and outstanding.

Note 9—Stock-based Compensation

The Management Stock Option Plan permits the grant of share options to employees for up to 123,596 shares of common stock. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest based on four years of continuous service and have 10-year contractual terms. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the plan).

Total compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans was approximately $150,000 and $155,000 for 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of October 31, 2013, there was approximately $487,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. As of October 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no options exercised. As of October 31, 2013, there are 76,639 options fully vested.

The Company has an incentive plan that provides an incentive payment at the time of a change of control. The benefits vest over four years and were fully vested as of October 31, 2013. At October 31, 2013 and 2012, a liability of $3,200,000 and $1,300,000, respectively has been recorded based on the fair value of the incentive plan. Compensation expense of $1,900,000 and $1,300,000 has been recorded for 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the incentive plan.

Management Fees—For the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred expenses and management fees payable to an affiliate of one of the stockholders of $1,000,014 and $505,897, respectively.

Note 11—Operating Leases

The Company leases certain buildings, equipment, and land for use in operations. Rental expense under all operating leases was approximately $13,030,000 and $12,376,000 for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Certain leases provide for renewals at the Company’s option at the end of the initial lease term.

Note 12—Retirement Plans

The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan for substantially all employees. The plan provides for the Company to make a matching contribution. Contributions to the plan approximated $939,000 and $912,000 for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Note 13—Contingencies

The Company is a party to various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business, including certain claims pertaining to product liability matters that name the Company as co-defendant along with the manufacturer. In most of these cases, the manufacturer has assumed defense of the claim on behalf of the named defendants. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of pending lawsuits and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Note 14—Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities be reported at fair value in the consolidated financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value.

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset. These Level 3 fair value measurements are based primarily on management’s own estimates using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques taking into account the characteristics of the asset.

In instances whereby inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

October 31, 2013 and 2012

The Company measures interest rate swaps at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of interest rate swaps is based primarily on Level 2 inputs as described above.

Note 15—Business Combination

On November 9, 2011, the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of a Canadian tire distributor located in Ville Sainte-Catherine in the Province of Quebec (the “Montreal location”). The primary reason for the acquisition was to expand the Company’s distribution operations by adding the Montreal location. The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and the Montreal location. The agreed-upon price was $3,545,614; however, subsequent to the asset purchase, final adjustments to the consideration resulted in a decrease to the purchase price of approximately $177,000. The transaction was financed through the Company’s line of credit.

The following table summarizes the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed translated to U.S. dollars:

Accounts receivable	$	1,847,405
Inventory		3,043,422
Prepaids		28,758
Property, plant, and equipment		357,499
Other assets		289,585
Accounts payable		(2,623,411	)
Accrued liabilities		(168,844	)
Total identifiable net assets		2,774,414
Goodwill		636,270
Total	$	3,410,684

The difference between the goodwill amount in the schedule above and the goodwill reported on the consolidated balance sheet is due to foreign currency translation.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the shareholders of

Regional Tire Distributors Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Regional Tire Distributors Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended January 31, 2013, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Regional Tire Distributors as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ending January 31, 2013 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Regional Tire Distributors Inc.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

January 31, 2013 and 2012

(Presented in United States Dollars)

1. Nature of business

Regional Tire Distributors Inc. (“Company”) was incorporated on July 21, 2008 under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada and commenced active operations in September of 2008. The Company, based in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, is a wholesale distributor of tires and services to retail tire locations across Canada including independent service garages, automotive car dealers and large national customers.

2. Significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in United States (“US”) dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). A summary of significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are outlined below.

Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Regional Tire Distributors Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary JAB Holdings Ltd. and its majority owned subsidiary Regional Tire Distributors (Atlantic) Inc. The Company does not have any variable interests in variable interest entities. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated during consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are based on several factors including the facts and circumstances available at the time of the estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends, and the assessment of the probably future outcome. Significant estimates include inventory obsolescence reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts, returns and rebates, valuation of long lived assets, purchase price allocations in business combinations and deferred taxes. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the statement of comprehensive income in the period that they are determined.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the best estimate of probable loss inherent within the Company’s accounts receivable balance. Estimates are based upon the creditworthiness of specific customers and past experience of write offs.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or net realizable value and consist primarily of automotive tires, wheels, tubes and wheel accessories. The Company performs periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow-moving and non-saleable inventories and records necessary provisions to reduce such inventories to net realizable value.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(Presented in United States Dollars)

Investments in affiliates

The Company holds equity investments in affiliates for which it does not have a controlling financial interest, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting wherein the Company records its’ proportionate share of the investees’ income or loss in its consolidated financial statements.

Investments are evaluated for impairment when facts or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. Impairment is recognized when a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company reviews several factors to determine whether a loss is other-than-temporary. These factors include, but are not limited to, the: (1) nature of the investment; (2) cause and duration of the impairment; (3) extent to which fair value is less than cost; (4) financial conditions and near term prospects of the issuers; and (5) ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Company, liabilities incurred by the Company to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company in exchange for control of the acquiree.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value. The Corporation measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognized amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognized amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured as of the acquisition date. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The Company has measured the non-controlling interest at its fair value on the acquisition date.

Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). ASC Topic 740 requires the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of a deferred tax asset is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize tax benefits only to the extent that, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that they will be realized. In determining the valuation allowance, the Company considers factors by taxing jurisdiction, including estimated taxable income, history of losses for tax purposes, tax planning strategies and the likelihood of success of tax filing positions, among others. A change to any of these factors could impact the estimated valuation allowance and income tax expense.

F-244

Regional Tire Distributors Inc.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

January 31, 2013 and 2012

(Presented in United States Dollars)

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions by recognizing the financial statement effects of a tax position only when, based upon the technical merits, it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The tax impacts recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest impact that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions as a component of the provision for income taxes.

Foreign currency

The Canadian dollar is the currency in which a substantial amount of the Company’s transactions are denominated and is the functional currency of the Company. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar are translated into Canadian dollars at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar during the year are converted into Canadian dollar at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing on the transaction date. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The Company has chosen to present its financial statements in United States Dollars. The financial statements are translated to the United States dollar presentation currency at the end of the reporting period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the January 31 rates of exchange. Income and expenses are translated at rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. The Company has used average exchange rates to approximate the rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. All exchange gains and losses are recognized as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are comprised of cash, accounts receivable, due to/from related parties, note receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt. The estimated fair values of cash, accounts receivable, due to/from related parties, note receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are approximate to book values because of their short-term maturities. The long-term debt approximates carrying value as it bears interests at variable rates. All financial instruments are measured at amortized cost.

Interest rate risk

The Company is subject to interest rate risk due to changes to the prime rate since the majority of its borrowings bear variable interest rates. A change in the interest rate of plus or minus one percent as at January 31, 2013 would result in a $54,844 decrease or increase in net income before income taxes. The Company does not use derivative instruments to manage this risk.

Liquidity risk

The Company’s objective is to have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The Company monitors its cash balances and cash flows generated from operations to meet its requirements. As at January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, the most significant financial liabilities relate to bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, and long-term debt.

Credit risk

The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of its operations. It carries out, on a continuing basis, credit checks on its customers and maintains provisions for contingent credit losses. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying value of financial assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting purposes, assets placed in service are recorded at cost and depreciated using the declining-balance method at annual rates sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets less estimated salvage values over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their economic useful life or the related lease term. The depreciation rates used to depreciate property, plant and equipment is as follows:

Vehicles	30% declining-balance
Computer equipment	30% declining-balance
Office equipment	20% declining-balance
Warehouse equipment	20% declining-balance
Leasehold improvements	Over the term of the lease

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of definite life long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimate of undiscounted future cash flows generated by such assets is less than the carrying value. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the present value of the expected future cash flows.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of acquired businesses and is tested for impairment annually and whenever an event or circumstance occurs that indicates that goodwill might be impaired. When the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment loss is recognized in net earnings in an amount equal to the excess.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships and a tradename acquired through the business acquisition of Regional Tire Distributors (Atlantic) Inc.

Amortization is provided using the following methods and annual rates:

Customer relationships	12 years straight line
Tradename	7 years straight line

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized and earned when all of the following criteria are satisfied: (a) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; (b) price is fixed or determinable; (c) collectability is reasonably assured; and (d) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered. The Company recognizes revenue when the title and the risks and rewards of ownership have substantially transferred to the customer, which is upon delivery under free on board (“FOB”) destination terms. The Company permits customers from time to time to return certain products, but there is no contractual right of return. The Company continuously monitors and tracks such returns and records an estimate of such future returns, which is based on historical experience and recent trends.

Customer rebates

The Company offers rebates to its customers under a number of different programs. These rebates are recorded in accordance with the accounting standards for consideration given by a vendor to a customer. The majority of these programs provide for the customer to receive rebates, generally in the form of a reduction in the related accounts receivable balance, when certain measures are achieved, generally related to the volume of product purchased from the Company. These rebates are recorded as a reduction of the related price of the product, which reduces the amount of revenue recorded. Throughout the year, the amount of rebates is estimated based on the expected level of purchases to be made by customers that participate in the rebate programs. These estimates are periodically revised to reflect rebates earned by customers based on actual purchases made.

Manufacturer rebates

The Company receives rebates from its vendors under a number of different programs. These rebates are recorded in accordance with the accounting standards for cash consideration received from a vendor. Many of the vendor programs provide for the Company to receive rebates when any of a number of measures are achieved, generally related to the volume of purchases. These rebates are accounted for as a reduction to the price of the product, which reduces the carrying value of our inventory, and our cost of goods sold when product is sold.

13. Financial instruments

The accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair value hierarchy is comprised of three levels that are described below:

• Level 1—Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

• Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The Company has no assets measured at fair value.

16. Acquisition of Regional Tire Distributors (Atlantic) Inc.

On August 3, 2012, the Company acquired an additional 55% share ownership in Atlantic bringing the total share ownership to 93%. Atlantic is a wholesale tire distributor in Eastern Canada. The total purchase price was $4,993,000 ($5,000,000 Canadian dollars). There were also acquisition-related costs incurred of $92,211 ($92,340 Canadian dollars). This acquisition was completed in order to increase the Company’s presence in eastern Canada.

As discussed in Note 7, the Company held a 38% interest in Atlantic prior to the acquisition. This share investment was accounted for under the equity method. The Company recognized a gain before income taxes of $2,033,068 as a result of measuring at fair value its equity investment in Atlantic before the business combination. The fair value of the equity investment was determined by the implied purchase price of Atlantic based on the $5,000,000 Canadian dollar purchase price for 55% of Atlantic less a 10% minority discount resulting in a fair value of $3,104,700 ($3,109,100 Canadian dollars).

The allocation of the purchase price for accounting purposes was as follows:

	$
Accounts receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $80,449)		2,316,856

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(Presented in United States Dollars)

The goodwill on the acquisition arose as a result of the value of the assembled workforce and the combined strategic value to our growth plan. The goodwill arising from the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

The revenue and net earnings of the acquiree since the acquisition date included in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the period ending January 31, 2013 was $22,839,194 and $1,349,166 respectively.

The revenue and net earnings for the Company and Atlantic combined for the year ending January 31, 2013 as though the acquisition date for the business combination was February 1, 2012, would have been $127,298,611 and $6,768,349 respectively. The net earnings have been adjusted for the pro forma amortization of intangible assets of $331,084.

The purchase agreement contains a clause that if within five years of the closing date, the Company enters into an agreement to sell the shares of Atlantic, directly or indirectly, and if the transaction is successfully completed, the Company is required to pay additional consideration to the seller. The payment is determined based on a predetermined formula mainly driven by the increase in value of Atlantic in the subsequent purchase. The Company has determined the fair value of this subsequent payment clause on August 3, 2012 to be nominal.

17. Subsequent events

On March 22, 2013, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with TriCan Tire Distributors Inc. to sell 100% of the common shares of the Company. The transaction is expected to close April 30, 2013. Events have been evaluated to April 25, 2013, which is the date the financial statements are issued.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholder of Triwest Trading (Canada) Ltd.

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Triwest Trading (Canada) Ltd., which comprise the balance sheets as at December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010 and the statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises. Any measurement differences between these standards and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as they apply to Triwest are not material.

Measurement uncertainty

The financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises. The precise value of many assets and liabilities is dependent on future events. As a result, the preparation of financial statements for a period involves the use of approximations which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results could differ from those approximations. The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the accounting policies summarized below.

Financial instruments

Measurement of financial instruments

The entity initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non arm’s length transactions. The entity subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost. Financial assets measured at amortized cost include accounts receivable and long term investments. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include the bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long term debt, promissory note and due to shareholder.

Impairment

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income.

Transaction costs

The entity recognizes its transaction costs in net income in the period incurred. However, financial instruments that will not be subsequently measured at fair value are adjusted by the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their origination, issuance or assumption.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost being determined on the first in first out cost basis.

Supplier rebates and discounts are recognized when the vendor has applied them to the company’s account.

Notes to Financial Statements

Year Ended December 31, 2011

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Property, plant and equipment are amortized over their estimated useful lives at the following rates and methods:

Warehouse equipment	20%	declining balance method
Motor vehicles	30%	declining balance method
Computer equipment	30%	declining balance method
Office equipment	20%	declining balance method
Leasehold improvements	5 years	straight line method

Long term investments

Long term investments are stated at cost. The investments are reduced to reflect any permanent impairment in value.

Future income taxes

Income taxes are reported using the future income tax method. Current income tax expense is the estimated income taxes payable for the current year after any refunds or the use of losses incurred in previous years. Future income taxes reflect:

• the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes;

• the benefit of unutilized tax losses that will more likely than not be realized and carried forward to future years to reduce income taxes.

Future income taxes are estimated using the rates enacted by tax law and those substantively enacted for the years in which future income tax assets are likely to be realized, or future income tax liabilities settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on future income tax assets and liabilities is included in earnings in the period when the change is substantively enacted.

Foreign currency translation

Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses have been translated to the currency of Canada using the following exchange rates:

i. Cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities—at the rate in effect on the balance sheet date;

ii. Inventory—at the average rate in effect during the period; and

iii. Revenues and expenses—at the average rate in effect during the period.

Gains and losses on translation are included in income.

Revenue recognition

Sales are recognized when the products are shipped and title passes to the customer.

2. FIRST TIME ADOPTION OF CANADIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR PRIVATE ENTERPRISES

During the year the company adopted Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises. These financial statements are the first prepared in accordance with these standards. The adoption of these standards did not require restatement of the balance sheet, income statement or opening retained earnings as there were no accounting changes.

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The company is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments. The following analysis provides a measure of the company’s risk exposure and concentrations at the balance sheet date.

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the potential that a counter party will fail to perform its obligations. The company is exposed to credit risk from customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific accounts, historical trends and other information. The company has a significant number of customers which minimizes concentration of credit risk.

Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk to the company’s earnings that arise from fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risks on cash and accounts payable held in U.S. dollars because it purchases inventory in U.S. dollars. This risk is mitigated by the company maintaining a U.S. dollar bank account and purchasing futures regarding U.S. cash.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in the interest rates. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the company manages exposure through its normal operating and financing activities. The company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through fluctuations in the bank’s prime rate on its operating line of credit as reported in Note 7.

Commodity Risk

The company is exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices for fuel and oil which impact freight costs. Commodity prices are affected by many factors including supply, demand and the Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rate. The company had no financial hedges or price commodity contracts in place at year end.

Liquidity Risk

The company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on the sale of inventory, collection of accounts receivable, purchasing commitments and obligations or raising of funds to meet commitments and sustain operations. The company controls liquidity risk by management of working capital, cash flows and the availability of borrowing facilities.

6. LONG TERM INVESTMENTS

The investment consists of shares and debentures in a U.S. private company which acts as a buying group for the purchase of tires by wholesale distributors. The investment does not represent a significant influence in the company and accordingly is recorded at cost. Interest is paid annually on the debentures at a rate of 9%. The purchase of the debenture is a requirement of utilizing the purchasing services of the buying group. The debentures are redeemable at the option of the issuer at any time at an amount equal to the issue price plus any accrued interest. No changes in the investment occurred during the year and the current market value is unavailable.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises (“Canadian GAAP”). Any measurement differences in accounting principles between Canadian GAAP and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as they apply to Triwest are not material.

Measurement uncertainty

The financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises. The precise value of many assets and liabilities is dependent on future events. As a result, the preparation of financial statements for a period involves the use of approximations which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results could differ from those approximations. The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the accounting policies summarized below.

Financial instruments

Measurement of financial instruments

The entity initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non arm’s length transactions. The entity subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost. Financial assets measured at amortized cost include accounts receivable and long term investments. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include the bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long term debt, and due to shareholder.

Impairment

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income.

Transaction costs

The entity recognizes its transaction costs in net income in the period incurred. However, financial instruments that will not be subsequently measured at fair value are adjusted by the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their origination, issuance or assumption.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost being determined on the first in first out cost basis.

Supplier rebates and discounts are recognized when the vendor has applied them to the company’s account.

TRIWEST TRADING (CANADA) LTD.

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Property, plant and equipment are amortized over their estimated useful lives at the following rates and methods:

Warehouse equipment	20%	declining balance method
Motor vehicles	30%	declining balance method
Computer equipment	30%	declining balance method
Office equipment	20%	declining balance method
Leasehold improvements	5 years	straight line method

Long term investments

Long term investments are stated at cost. The investments are reduced to reflect any permanent impairment in value.

Future income taxes

Income taxes are reported using the future income tax method. Current income tax expense is the estimated income taxes payable for the current year after any refunds or the use of losses incurred in previous years. Future income taxes reflect:

• the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes;

• the benefit of unutilized tax losses that will more likely than not be realized and carried forward to future years to reduce income taxes.

Future income taxes are estimated using the rates enacted by tax law and those substantively enacted for the years in which future income taxes assets are likely to be realized, or future income tax liabilities settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on future income tax assets and liabilities is included in earnings in the period when the change is substantively enacted.

Foreign currency translation

Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses have been translated to the currency of Canada using the following exchange rates:

i. Cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities—at the rate in effect on the balance sheet date;

ii. Inventory—at the average rate in effect during the period; and

iii. Revenues and expenses—at the average rate in effect during the period.

Gains and losses on translation are included in income.

Revenue recognition

Sales are recognized when the products are shipped and title passes to the customer.

2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The company is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments. The following analysis provides a measure of the company’s risk exposure and concentrations at the balance sheet date.

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the potential that a counter party will fail to perform its obligations. The company is exposed to credit risk from customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific accounts, historical trends and other information. The company has a significant number of customers which minimizes concentration of credit risk.

Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk to the company’s earnings that arise from fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risks on cash and accounts payable held in U.S. dollars because it purchases inventory in U.S. dollars. This risk is mitigated by the company maintaining a U.S. dollar bank account and purchasing futures regarding U.S. cash.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in the interest rates. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the company manages exposure through its normal operating and financing activities. The company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through fluctuations in the bank’s prime rate on its operating line of credit as reported in Note 7.

Commodity Risk

The company is exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices for fuel and oil which impact freight costs. Commodity prices are affected by many factors including supply, demand and the Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rate. The company had no financial hedges or price commodity contracts in place at September 30, 2012.

Liquidity Risk

The company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on the sale of inventory, collection of accounts receivable, purchasing commitments and obligations or raising of funds to meet commitments and sustain operations. The company controls liquidity risk by management of working capital, cash flows and the availability of borrowing facilities.

5. LONG TERM INVESTMENTS

The investment consists of shares and debentures in a U.S. private company which acts as a buying group for the purchase of tires by wholesale distributors. The investment does not represent a significant influence in the company and accordingly is recorded at cost. Interest is paid annually on the debentures at a rate of 9%. The purchase of the debenture is a requirement of utilizing the purchasing services of the buying group. The debentures are redeemable at the option of the issuer at any time at an amount equal to the issue price plus any accrued interest. No changes in the investment occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the current market value is unavailable.

6. BANK INDEBTEDNESS

The company has an authorized line of credit in the amount of $30,000,000 (2011—$25,000,000) renewed annually. The line of credit bears interest at bank prime rate plus 1.00%, is secured by a general security agreement, a general assignment of book debts, inventory, assignment of insurance and assignments and postponements by Fab Five Ltd., 1274942 Alberta Ltd. and 1279156 Alberta Inc.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) enables a corporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for violations of the director’s fiduciary duty, except (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemptions pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. Our certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions taken as a director to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL.

Section 145(a) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another entity, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or

II-1

in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another entity, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our bylaws also provide that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to the bylaws, are not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of directors or stockholders or otherwise. Section 145(f) of the DGCL further provides that a right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the certificate of incorporation shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision after the occurrence of the act or omission which is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought.

We have also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors. Such agreements generally provide for indemnification by reason of being our director, as the case may be. These agreements are in addition to the indemnification provided by our certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters are obligated, under certain circumstances, to indemnify our directors, officers and controlling persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Please refer to the form of underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto.

In connection with our acquisition by investment funds affiliated with TPG Global, LLC (together with its affiliates, “TPG”), we entered into an indemnification agreement pursuant to which we agreed to indemnify TPG, including the TPG funds invested in us and their respective affiliates, against liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by TPG arising out of or in connection with securities offerings, including liabilities under the securities laws, actions or failures to act by us or our affiliates generally, or the performance by TPG of services under the transaction and monitoring fee agreement described above.

We also maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance that insures against liabilities that our officers and directors may incur in such capacities. Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides that a corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another entity, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under that section.

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(4) The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the

II-4

registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(6) To provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

- 61 -

Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Agent shall advise each Applicable Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Applicable Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04 Protective Advances and Overadvances. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth below (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.02), the Agent is authorized by the Borrowers and the Revolving Lenders, from time to time in the Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation), to make Loans to the Borrowers of a Borrower Group, on behalf of all Applicable Lenders with respect to such Borrower Group whether or not any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 has been satisfied or waived, including the failure to comply with the conditions set forth in Section 2.01, which the Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (x) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (y) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (z) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and other sums payable by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group under the Loan Documents (each such Loan made to the U.S. Borrowers, a “U.S. Protective Advance”; each such Loan made to a Canadian Borrower, a “Canadian Protective Advance”; and U.S. Protective Advances and Canadian Protective Advances, “Protective Advances” and each a “Protective Advance”). Any U.S. Protective Advance may be made in a principal amount that would cause the aggregate U.S. Revolving Exposure to exceed the U.S. Borrowing Base; provided that no U.S. Protective Advance may be made to the extent that, after giving effect to such U.S. Protective Advance (together with the outstanding principal amount of all other U.S. Protective Advances), the aggregate principal amount of U.S. Protective Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed, as determined on the date of such proposed U.S. Protective Advance, and is not known by the Agent to exceed, together with U.S. Overadvances described in Section 2.04(c), 10% of the U.S. Revolving Commitments at such time, or to exist for more than thirty (30) consecutive Business Days or more than forty-five (45) Business Days in any twelve month period, and provided further that, the aggregate amount of outstanding U.S. Protective Advances plus any U.S. Overadvances described in Section 2.04(c) plus the aggregate of all other U.S. Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate total U.S. Commitments. Any Canadian Protective Advance may be made in a principal amount that would cause the aggregate Canadian Revolving Exposure to exceed the Canadian Borrowing Base; provided that no Canadian Protective Advance may be made to the extent that, after giving effect to such Canadian Protective Advance (together with the outstanding principal amount of all other Canadian Protective Advances), the aggregate Dollar Equivalent Amount of principal amount of Canadian Protective Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed, as determined on the date of such proposed Canadian Protective Advance, and is not known by the Agent to exceed, together with Canadian Overadvances described in Section 2.04(c), 10% of the Canadian Revolving Commitments at such time, or to exist for more than thirty (30) consecutive Business Days or more than forty-five (45) Business Days in any twelve month period, and provided further that, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent Amount of outstanding Canadian Protective Advances plus Dollar Equivalent Amount of any Canadian Overadvances described in Section 2.04(c) plus the aggregate Dollar Equivalent Amount of all other Canadian Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate total Canadian Commitments. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied or waived. The Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to deliver prompt notice to the Applicable Lenders with respect to a Borrower Group of any Protective Advance or Overadvance made by it to a Borrower within such Borrower Group. The U.S. Protective Advances shall be secured by the Agent’s Liens on the U.S. Collateral securing payment of the U.S. Obligations and shall constitute ABR Loans and U.S. Obligations hereunder. The Canadian Protective Advances shall be made by the Agent through its Canada branch and shall be secured by the Agent’s Liens on the Collateral

- 62 -

securing payment of the Canadian Obligations and shall constitute Canadian Prime Rate Loans, if funded in Canadian Dollars, or Canadian Base Rate Loans, if funded in Dollars, and Canadian Obligations hereunder. The Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Agent’s receipt thereof. The making of a Protective Advance on any one occasion shall not obligate any Agent to make any Protective Advance on any other occasion. At any time that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied or waived, the Agent may request the Applicable Lenders with respect to a Borrower Group to make a Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance made by the Agent to a Borrower within such Borrower Group. At any other time, the Agent may require the Applicable Lenders with respect to such Borrower Group to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.04(b).

(b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default) to a Borrower within such Borrower Group, each Applicable Lender with respect to such Borrower Group shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from the Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any Applicable Lender with respect to a Borrower Group is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance to a Borrower within such Borrower Group purchased hereunder, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Applicable Lender, such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Section 2.04 or this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and whether or not a Default or Event of Default exists at the time, the Agent may require all Applicable Lenders with respect to a Borrower Group to honor requests or deemed requests by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group for Revolving Loans at a time that an Overadvance Condition with respect to such Borrower Group exists or which would result in an Overadvance Condition with respect to such Borrower Group and (i) each U.S. Revolving Lender shall be obligated to continue to make its Applicable Percentage of any such U.S. Overadvance Loan up to a maximum amount outstanding equal to its U.S. Revolving Commitment, so long as such U.S. Overadvance is not known by the Agent to exceed, together with U.S. Protective Advances described in Section 2.04(a), 10% of the U.S. Revolving Commitments at such time or to exist for more than thirty (30) consecutive Business Days or more than forty-five (45) Business Days in any twelve month period and (ii) each Canadian Revolving Lender shall be obligated to continue to make its Applicable Percentage of any such Canadian Overadvance Loan up to a maximum amount outstanding equal to its Canadian Revolving Commitment so long as such Canadian Overadvance is not known by the Agent to exceed, together with Canadian Protective Advances described in Section 2.04(a), 10% of the Canadian Revolving Commitments at such time or to exist for more than thirty (30) consecutive Business Days or more than forty-five (45) Business Days in any twelve month period.

SECTION 2.05 Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Applicable Swingline Lender with respect to a Borrower Group may in its discretion, and in reliance upon the agreements of the Applicable Lenders with respect to such Borrower Group set forth in this Section 2.05, make available Swingline Loans to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding U.S. Swingline Loans exceeding $85,000,000, (ii) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent Amount of principal amount of outstanding Canadian Swingline Loans exceeding $6,000,000, (iii) the total U.S. Revolving Exposures exceeding the lesser of the total U.S. Revolving Commitments and the U.S. Borrowing Base, or (iv) the total Canadian Revolving Exposures exceeding the lesser of the total Canadian Revolving Commitments and the

- 63 -

Canadian Borrowing Base; provided that no Applicable Swingline Lender shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers within each Borrower Group may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan for a Borrower within a Borrower Group, the Borrower Agent shall notify the Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by a Swingline Borrowing Request), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, or, with respect to Canadian Swingline Loans, 1:00 p.m., Toronto, Ontario time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan to such Borrower. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day), amount and currency (which shall be Dollars in the case of any Swingline Loan made to a U.S. Borrower or Dollars or Canadian Dollars in the case of a Swingline Loan made to a Canadian Borrower) of the requested Swingline Loan. The Agent will promptly advise the Applicable Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower Agent. The Applicable Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group by means of a credit to the Applicable Funding Account of such Borrower Group or otherwise in accordance with the instructions of the Borrower Agent (including, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the Applicable Issuing Bank, and in the case of repayment of another Loan or fees or expenses as provided by Section 2.18(c), by remittance to the Agent to be distributed to the Lenders) on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(b) To facilitate administration of the Revolving Loans, the Revolving Lenders and the Agent agree (which agreement is solely among them, and not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans and the Protective Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with this clause (b). The Agent shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the Applicable Lenders on at least a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by the Agent, (A) on behalf of the Applicable Swingline Lender, with respect to each outstanding Swingline Loan to a Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group and (B) with respect to collections received from such Borrower Group, in each case, by notifying the Applicable Lenders of such requested Settlement by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:30 p.m. New York City time, or with respect to Canadian Lenders, 2:30 p.m. Toronto, Ontario time, on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Applicable Lender (other than the Applicable Swingline Lender, in the case of Swingline Loans to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group) shall make the amount of such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans to such Borrowers within such Borrower Group with respect to which Settlement is requested available to the Agent, to such account of the Agent as the Agent may designate, not later than 3:30 p.m., New York City time, or with respect to Canadian Lenders, 3:30 p.m. Toronto, Ontario time, on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, which may occur before or after the occurrence or during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV have then been satisfied without regard to the any minimum amount specified therein. Such amounts made available to the Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swingline Loan and, together with the portion of such Swingline Loan representing the Applicable Swingline Lender’s pro rata share thereof, shall constitute Revolving Loans of the Applicable Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to the Agent by any Applicable Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, the Agent shall, on behalf of the Applicable Swingline Lender with respect to each outstanding Swingline Loan to a Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group, be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Applicable Lender together with interest thereon at, with respect to U.S. Swingline Loans, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and with respect to Canadian Swingline Loans, the Canadian Overnight Rate, in each case, for the first three days from and after the Settlement Date and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to Floating Rate Loans to such Borrower Group in the applicable currency in which such Swingline Loan is denominated. Between Settlement Dates the Agent may pay over to the Applicable Swingline Lender any payments received by the Agent,

- 64 -

which in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans of the Borrowers within the Borrower Group for which such Applicable Swingline Lender is the Applicable Swingline Lender, for application to the Applicable Swingline Lender’s Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans to such Borrower Group. If, as of any Settlement Date, collections received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to the Applicable Swingline Lender’s Revolving Loans to such Borrower Group, the Applicable Swingline Lender shall pay to the Agent for the accounts of the Applicable Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Applicable Lenders to such Borrower Group, an amount such that each Applicable Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loans to such Borrower Group. During the period between Settlement Dates, the Applicable Swingline Lender with respect to Swingline Loans to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group, the Agent with respect to Protective Advances to such Borrower Group and each Applicable Lender with respect to its Revolving Loans to such Borrower Group shall be entitled to interest thereon at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement.

(c) In addition, the Applicable Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, or, with respect to Canadian Swingline Loans, 1:00 p.m., Toronto, Ontario time, on any Business Day require the Applicable Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding that were made to the Borrowers within the Borrower Group with respect to which such Applicable Lenders issued Commitments. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans to such Borrower Group in which the Applicable Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Agent will give notice thereof to each Applicable Lender, specifying in such notice such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans to such Borrower Group. Each Applicable Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Applicable Swingline Lender, such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans to such Borrower Group. Each Applicable Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans made to the Borrowers within the Borrower Group with respect to which such Applicable Lender has issued a Commitment pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Applicable Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Applicable Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Applicable Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Applicable Lenders. The Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph. Any amounts received by the Applicable Swingline Lender from the Borrowers with the applicable Borrower Group (or other party on behalf of any such Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Applicable Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Agent; any such amounts received by the Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Agent to the Applicable Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Applicable Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Applicable Swingline Lender or the Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to any Borrower with such Borrower Group for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan made to a Borrower within a Borrower Group pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrowers within such Borrower Group of any default in the payment thereof.

- 65 -

SECTION 2.06 Letters of Credit. (a) General. On and after the Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a U.S. Letter of Credit issued hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and for purposes hereof will be deemed to have been issued on the Effective Date. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Applicable Issuing Bank with respect to a Borrower Group agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Applicable Lenders to such Borrower Group set forth in this Section 2.06, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date to but not including the 5th Business Day, prior to the Maturity Date, upon the request of the Borrower Agent, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars only (or, in the case of Letters of Credit issued under the Canadian Commitments, Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as requested by a Canadian Borrower) and issued on sight basis only for the account of one or more of the Borrowers of such Borrower Group (or any other Subsidiary of the Company so long as the Company is a joint and several co-applicant, and references to the Company or a “Borrower” in this Section 2.06 shall be deemed to include reference to such Subsidiary) and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.06(b), and (B) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit, and (ii) the Applicable Lenders severally agree to participate in the Letters of Credit issued pursuant to Section 2.06(d) for the account of the Borrowers within such Borrower Group (including, with respect to U.S. Revolving Lenders, those Letters of Credit with respect to which the Company is the co-applicant with a Subsidiary of the Company). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower Agent shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Applicable Issuing Bank) to the Applicable Issuing Bank and the Agent, at least two (2) Business Days, in advance of the requested date of issuance (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank), a request to issue in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (each a “Letter of Credit Request”). To request an amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower Agent shall submit such a request on its letterhead, addressed to the Applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Agent) at least two (2) Business Days, in advance of the requested date of amendment, extension or renewal, identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the proposed date (which shall be a Business Day) and other details of the amendment, extension or renewal. Requests for issuance, amendment, renewal or extension must be accompanied by such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower Agent also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower Agent to, or entered into by the Borrower Agent or any Borrower within a Borrower Group with, the Applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower within such Borrower Group, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended if (and on issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the U.S. Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000, (ii) the Dollar Equivalent Amount of Canadian LC Exposure shall not exceed $10,000,000, (iii) the total U.S. Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of the total U.S. Revolving Commitments and the U.S. Borrowing Base, and (iv) the total Canadian Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of the total Canadian Revolving Commitments and the Canadian Borrowing Base.

- 66 -

the Applicable Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. Upon receipt of such Letter of Credit or amendment, the Agent shall notify the Applicable Lenders, in writing, of such Letter of Credit or amendment, and if so requested by an Applicable Lender the Agent will provide such Applicable Lender with a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. With respect to commercial Letters of Credit, each Applicable Issuing Bank shall, on the first Business Day of each week, submit to the Agent, by facsimile, a report detailing the daily aggregate total of commercial Letters of Credit issued by such Applicable Issuing Bank for the previous calendar week.

(c) Expiration Date. Each standby Letter of Credit shall expire not later than the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that any standby Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one year in duration (none of which, in any event, shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (c)). Each commercial Letter of Credit shall expire on the earlier of (i) 180 days after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (ii) the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) for the account of a Borrower within a Borrower Group and without any further action on the part of the Applicable Issuing Bank or the Applicable Lenders, the Applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Applicable Lender, and each Applicable Lender hereby acquires from such Applicable Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Applicable Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Applicable Issuing Bank, such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Applicable Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to any Borrower within such Borrower Group for any reason. Each Applicable Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower within a Borrower Group is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments to such Borrower Group, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Applicable Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower within a Borrower Group (including, with respect to U.S. Borrowers, those Letters of Credit with respect to which the Company is the co-applicant with a Subsidiary of the Company), the Borrowers within such Borrower Group shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, or with respect to Canadian LC Disbursements, 12:00 noon Toronto, Ontario time, on the Business Day immediately following the date the Borrower Agent receives notice of such LC Disbursement under paragraph (g) of this Section 2.06; provided that the Borrower Agent may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment (i) owing by the U.S. Borrowers be financed with an ABR Loan or U.S. Swingline Loan or (ii) owing by a Canadian Borrower be financed with a Canadian Base Rate Loan or Canadian Swingline Loan (if the Letter of Credit drawn upon was denominated in Dollars) or Canadian Prime Rate Loan or Canadian Swingline Loan (if the Letter of Credit drawn upon was denominated in Canadian Dollars), in each case, in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the obligation of the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group to make such payment

- 67 -

shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Floating Rate Loan or Swingline Loan. If the Borrowers within a Borrower Group fail to make such payment when due, the Agent shall notify each Applicable Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers within such Borrower Group in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Applicable Lender shall pay to the Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Applicable Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Applicable Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Applicable Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Agent of any payment from the Borrowers within a Borrower Group pursuant to this paragraph, the Agent shall distribute such payment to the Applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Applicable Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Applicable Lenders and such Applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers within each Borrower Group to reimburse LC Disbursements with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower Group (including, with respect to U.S. Borrowers, those Letters of Credit with respect to which the Company is the co-applicant with a Subsidiary of the Company) as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Agent, the Applicable Lenders nor any Applicable Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower within such Borrower Group that are caused by such Applicable Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

- 68 -

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by such Applicable Issuing Base. Such Applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent and the Borrower Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether such Applicable Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group of their obligation to reimburse such Applicable Issuing Bank and the Applicable Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Applicable Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower within a Borrower Group (including, with respect to U.S. Borrowers, those Letters of Credit with respect to which the Company is the co-applicant with a Subsidiary of the Company), then, unless the Borrowers within such Borrower Group shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers within such Borrower Group reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans that are Revolving Loans (in the case of any such Letter of Credit issued for the account of a U.S. Borrower), Canadian Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans (in the case of any such Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars that is issued for the account of a Canadian Borrower) or Canadian Prime Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans (in the case of any such Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars that issued for the account of a Canadian Borrower); provided that, if the Borrowers within a Borrower Group fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(f) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Applicable Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Applicable Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Applicable Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at the written request of the Borrower Agent and without the consent of the Agent at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank, and acknowledged by the Agent. The Agent shall notify the Applicable Lenders of any such replacement of an Applicable Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If (A) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (B) an Overadvance Condition shall at any time exist, (C) the Maturity Date shall occur or (D) if and to the extent required in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.28, on the Business Day that the Borrower Agent receives notice from the Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Applicable Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, upon such demand, the Borrowers within each Borrower Group (or in the case of clause (B), the Borrowers within the Borrower Group with respect to which an Overadvance Condition exists) shall deposit, in an account

- 69 -

with the Agent, in the name of the Agent and for the benefit of the Applicable Lenders (a “LC Collateral Account” and the LC Collateral Account funded by the U.S. Borrowers, the “U.S. LC Collateral Account” and the LC Collateral Account funded by a Canadian Borrower , the “Canadian LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure of such Borrower Group as of such date; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Article VII. Such deposit made by U.S. Borrowers shall be held by the Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (j). Such deposit made by a Canadian Borrower shall be held by the Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Canadian Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (j). The Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and each Borrower within a Borrower Group hereby grants the Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account funded by such Borrower Group. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Agent and at the risk and expense of the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group that funded such LC Collateral Account, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group for the LC Exposure to such Borrower Group at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Applicable Lenders with LC Exposure to such Borrower Group representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure to such Borrower Group), be applied to satisfy other Obligations (or, in the case of the Canadian LC Collateral Account, the Canadian Obligations). If the Borrowers within a Borrower Group are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (together with all interest and other earnings with respect thereto, to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned promptly to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after such Event of Default has been cured or waived. If Borrowers within a Borrower Group fail to provide any cash collateral as required by this Section 2.06(j), the Applicable Lenders may (and, upon direction of the Agent, shall) advance, as Revolving Loans, the amount of the cash collateral required (whether or not the Commitments have terminated, a Protective Advance or Overadvance exists or the conditions in Article IV are satisfied).

SECTION 2.07 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, or with respect to Canadian Revolving Loans, 1:00 p.m., Toronto, Ontario time, to the account of the Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided that, Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Applicable Funding Account or as otherwise directed by the Borrower Agent; provided that Floating Rate Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Agent to the Applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance shall be retained by the Agent to be applied as contemplated by Section 2.04 (and the Agent shall, upon the request of the Borrower Agent, deliver to the Borrower Agent a reasonably detailed accounting of such application).

(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from an Applicable Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing by a Borrower within a Borrower Group that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and

- 70 -

may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group a corresponding amount. In such event, if an Applicable Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Agent, then the Applicable Lender and the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of, with respect to a U.S. Revolving Loan, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or, with respect to a Canadian Revolving Loan, the Canadian Overnight Rate, and, in each case, a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers within a Borrower Group, the interest rate applicable to Floating Rate Loans to such Borrowers in the applicable currency. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Agent or any Borrower within a Borrower Group or any Loan Party may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

SECTION 2.08 Type; Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of an Interest Period Loan, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower Agent may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of an Interest Period Loan, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.08. The Borrower Agent may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Applicable Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section 2.08 shall not apply to Swingline Loans or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Agent shall notify the Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower Agent were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Agent and signed by the Borrower Agent.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Floating Rate Loan or an Interest Period Loan; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is an Interest Period Loan, the Type, and the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

- 71 -

If any such Interest Election Request requests an Interest Period Loan but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Agent shall advise each Applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Applicable Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower Agent fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to an Interest Period Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Floating Rate Loan in the same currency. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Agent, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing with respect to Revolving Loans may be converted to or continued as an Interest Period Loan and (ii) unless repaid, each Interest Period Loan shall be converted to a Floating Rate Loan in the same currency at the end of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto.

(f) The conversion of any Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall not be, and shall not be deemed to be, a discharge, rescission, extinguishment, novation or substitution of the Borrowing and following such conversion, the Borrowing shall continue to be the same obligation and not a new obligation.

SECTION 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, all Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date applicable to them and each Extension Series of Extended Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date applicable to such Series.

(b) Upon delivering the notice required by Section 2.09(d), the Borrower Agent may at any time terminate the Revolving Commitments upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding Revolving Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the Agent of a cash deposit (or at the discretion of the Agent a back up standby letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the Agent) equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date) and (iii) the payment in full of all accrued and unpaid fees and all reimbursable expenses then due and payable under the Loan Documents.

(c) Upon delivering the notice required by Section 2.09(d), the Borrower Agent may from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments of a Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000, (ii) the Borrower Agent shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans of such Class in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of (A) in the case of the U.S. Revolving Commitments, the U.S. Revolving Exposures would exceed the lesser of the total U.S. Revolving Commitments and the U.S. Borrowing Base or (B) in the case of the Canadian Revolving Commitments, the Canadian Revolving Exposures would exceed the lesser of the total Canadian Revolving Commitments and the Canadian Borrowing Base, and (iii) any such reduction shall apply proportionately and permanently to reduce the Revolving Commitments of each of the Applicable Lenders within such Class, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the establishment on any date of any Extended Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.27 to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group, the Revolving Commitments of any one or more the Applicable Lenders providing any such Extended

- 72 -

Revolving Commitments on such date shall be reduced in an amount equal to the amount of the Revolving Commitments so extended on such date (provided that (x) after giving effect to any such reduction and to the repayment of any Revolving Loans made on such date, the U.S. Revolving Exposure of any such U.S. Revolving Lender does not exceed the lesser of the U.S. Revolving Commitment thereof and its Applicable Percentage of the U.S. Borrowing Base (such U.S. Revolving Exposure, U.S. Revolving Commitment and Applicable Percentage being determined in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, exclusive of such Lender’s Extended Revolving Commitment and any exposure in respect thereof), (y) after giving effect to any such reduction and to the repayment of any Revolving Loans made on such date, the Canadian Revolving Exposure of any such Canadian Revolving Lender does not exceed the lesser of the Canadian Revolving Commitment thereof and its Applicable Percentage of the Canadian Borrowing Base (such Canadian Revolving Exposure, Canadian Revolving Commitment and Applicable Percentage being determined in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, exclusive of such Lender’s Extended Revolving Commitment and any exposure in respect thereof), and (z) for the avoidance of doubt, any such repayment of Revolving Loans contemplated by the preceding clauses shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 2.18 with respect to the ratable allocation of payments hereunder, with such allocation being determined after giving effect to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.27 of Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans into Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans, respectively, and prior to any reduction being made to the Revolving Commitment of any other Lender).

(d) The Borrower Agent shall notify the Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments to the Borrowers of any Class under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Agent shall advise the Applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be permanent.

SECTION 2.10 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower within a Borrower Group hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Agent for the account of each Applicable Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan made by such Applicable Lender on the Maturity Date, (ii) to the Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance made to or for the account of the Borrowers within such Borrower Group on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Agent, (iii) to the Applicable Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made by such Applicable Swingline Lender on the Maturity Date and (iv) to the Agent for the account of each Applicable Extending Lender of each Extension Series made available to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group, the then unpaid principal amount of each Extended Revolving Loan of such Extension Series on the maturity date for such Extension Series; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan to a Borrower within a Borrower Group is made while any Swingline Loan or Protective Advance made to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group is outstanding, the Borrowers within such Borrower Group shall repay all such Swingline Loans and Protective Advances with the proceeds of such Revolving Loan then outstanding.

(b) At all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Liquidity Event and notification thereof by the Agent to the Borrower Agent (subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(b) and to the terms of the Security Agreement), on each Business Day, at or before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, or with respect to Canadian Revolving Loans, 1:00 p.m. Toronto, Ontario time, the Agent shall apply all immediately available funds credited to the BANA Account of a Borrower Group or such other account of such Borrower Group directed by the Agent pursuant to Section 2.21(b), first to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent, the Applicable Issuing Banks and the Applicable Lenders (other than in connection with Banking Services or Secured Swap Obligations), pro rata, second to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) made to

(c) Each Applicable Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers within a Borrower Group to such Applicable Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to any Borrower within such Borrower Group, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(d) The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder to a Borrower within a Borrower Group, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers within such Borrower Group to each Applicable Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Applicable Lenders and each Applicable Lender’s share thereof.

(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Applicable Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers within a Borrower Group to repay the Loans made to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Any Applicable Lender may request that Revolving Loans made by it to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group be evidenced by a promissory note.

(h) All interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the U.S. Prime Rate, the Canadian Base Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, and the Canadian BA Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or any other period of time that is less than a calendar year, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on the number of days in the calendar year, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by 360, or such other period of time that is less than the calendar year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

(i) The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBOR Rate, LIBOR Rate, Canadian BA Rate, Canadian Base Rate and Canadian Prime Rate shall be determined by the Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

- 77 -

SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for an Interest Period Loan:

(i) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, the LIBOR Rate, or the Canadian BA Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, the LIBOR Rate, or the Canadian BA Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower Agent and the Applicable Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrower Agent and the Applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Canadian BA Rate Loan, as applicable, shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to a Floating Rate Loan in the same currency on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereof, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests an Interest Period Loan, such Borrowing shall be made as a Floating Rate Loan in the same currency.

SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Applicable Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or Applicable Issuing Bank; or impose on any Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Interest Period Loans made by such Applicable Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Applicable Lender of making or maintaining any Interest Period Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, following delivery of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group will pay to such Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered (except for any Taxes, which shall be dealt with exclusively pursuant to Section 2.17).

(b) If any Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Applicable Lender’s or Applicable Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Applicable Lender’s or Applicable Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Applicable Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Applicable Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Applicable Lender or such Applicable Issuing Bank or such Applicable Lender’s or such Applicable Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law other than due to Taxes, which shall be dealt with exclusively pursuant to Section 2.17 (taking into consideration such Applicable Lender’s or such Applicable Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Applicable Lender’s or such Applicable Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time following delivery of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group will pay to such Applicable Lender or such Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Applicable Lender or such Applicable Issuing Bank or such Applicable Lender’s or such Applicable Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

- 78 -

(c) A certificate of an Applicable Lender or an Applicable Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group shall pay such Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Applicable Lender’s or Applicable Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group shall not be required to compensate an Applicable Lender or an Applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Borrower Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Applicable Lender’s or Applicable Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Interest Period Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Interest Period Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Interest Period Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Interest Period Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower Agent pursuant to Section 2.19 or 9.02(e), then, in any such event, the Borrowers within the affected Borrower Group shall compensate each Applicable Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of an Interest Period Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Applicable Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Applicable Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or Canadian BA Rate, as applicable, that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Applicable Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Applicable Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Applicable Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and the basis therefor and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers within the effected Borrower Group shall pay such Applicable Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

- 79 -

SECTION 2.17 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if a Loan Party shall be required to deduct, withhold, or remit any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions or remittances applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent, Applicable Lender or any Applicable Issuing Bank (as applicable) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or remittances, been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and remittances, and (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay and remit the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If at any time a Loan Party is required by applicable law to make any deduction, remittance or withholding from any sum payable hereunder, such Loan Party shall promptly notify the Applicable Lender, Agent or Applicable Issuing Bank upon becoming aware of the same. In addition, each Applicable Lender, Agent or Applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify a Loan Party upon becoming aware of any circumstances as a result of which a Loan Party is or would be required to make any deduction, remittance, or withholding from any sum payable hereunder.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties within each Borrower Group shall pay any Other Taxes with respect to the Loans and Commitments to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group and this Agreement as it relates to such Borrower Group to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Each Loan Party within a Borrower Group shall indemnify the Agent, each Applicable Lender and each Applicable Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Agent, such Applicable Lender or such Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Agent by an Applicable Lender or an Applicable Issuing Bank, or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of an Applicable Lender, or an Applicable Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower Agent (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate (including any documentation necessary to prevent withholding under Sections 1471 or 1472 of the Code). In particular, on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date, each Foreign Lender in respect of a U.S. Borrower shall deliver to the Borrower Agent (with a copy to the Agent) two duly signed, properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax on payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by any

- 80 -

Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document), IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by any Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document), IRS Form W-8IMY (and any applicable underlying IRS Forms) or such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Agent and the Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, and in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming such an exemption under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate that establishes in writing to the Borrower Agent and the Agent that such Foreign Lender is not (i) a “bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a 10-percent shareholder within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to a Borrower with the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly so long as it is eligible to do so submit to the Borrower Agent (with a copy to the Agent) such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms or certificates (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Agent and the Agent of any available exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by any Borrower or other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, in each case, (1) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (2) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrower Agent and (3) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Agent, and (B) promptly notify the Borrower Agent and the Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, if, as a result of a Change in Law, a Foreign Lender is no longer legally able to provide documentation with respect to an exemption from or a reduction of withholding tax, such Foreign Lender will be treated as complying with this Section 2.17(e) and such inability will not affect the Foreign Lender’s rights under Section 2.17(a). If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA, applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable) or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

(f) Each Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrower Agent a statement signed by an authorized signatory of the Lender to the effect that it is a United States person together with a duly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-9 or successor form and any documentation necessary to prevent withholding under Sections 1471 or 1472 of the Code, to the extent applicable.

(g) If the Agent, a Lender, or an Issuing Bank determines, in good faith in its reasonable sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket

- 81 -

expenses of the Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Agent or such Lender in good faith in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to such Loan Party or any other Person.

(h) If the Borrower Agent determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which additional amounts have been paid under this Section 2.17, the Applicable Lender, Agent or Applicable Issuing Bank shall cooperate with the Borrower Agent in challenging such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, at the expense of the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group, if so requested by the Borrower Agent in writing.

SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Unless otherwise specified, each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, or with respect to Canadian LC Disbursements, 2:00 p.m., Toronto, Ontario time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower Agent by the Agent, except payments to be made directly to the Applicable Issuing Bank or the Applicable Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, if any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Any payment required to be made by the Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Agent to make such payment. At all times that the circumstances specified in Section 2.21(d) are in effect, solely for purposes of determining the amount of Revolving Loans available for borrowing purposes, checks and cash or other immediately available funds from collections of items of payment and proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part against the applicable Obligations, on the day of receipt, subject to actual collection.

(b) (i) Subject in all respects to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds of U.S. Collateral received by the Agent after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall upon election by the Agent or at the direction of the Required Lenders be applied, first, to, ratably, pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent or any U.S. Issuing Bank from the U.S. Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Secured Swap Obligations), second, ratably, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the U.S. Revolving Lenders (other than in connection with Banking Services or Secured Swap Obligations), third, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any U.S. Revolving Loans from the U.S. Borrowers (including any U.S. Swingline Loans) and any U.S. Protective Advances, ratably, fourth, to pay the principal of the U.S. Protective Advances, fifth, to prepay principal on the U.S. Revolving Loans (other than the U.S.

- 82 -

Protective Advances) and unreimbursed U.S. LC Disbursements, ratably, sixth, to pay an amount to the Agent equal to 103% of the U.S. LC Exposure on such date, to be held in the U.S. LC Collateral Account as cash collateral for such Obligations, seventh, to pay any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services and Secured Swap Obligations that are U.S. Obligations, ratably, eighth, to the payment of any other U.S. Obligation due to the Agent or any U.S. Revolving Lender, ninth, to the Canadian Obligations in the order provided in Section 2.18(b)(ii), tenth, as provided for under the Intercreditor Agreement and eleventh, to the U.S. Borrowers or as the Borrower Agent shall direct.

(ii) All proceeds of Canadian Collateral received by the Agent after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall upon election by the Agent or at the direction of the Required Lenders be applied, first, to, ratably, pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent or any Canadian Issuing Bank from the Canadian Loan Parties (other than in connection with Banking Services or Secured Swap Obligations), second, ratably, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Canadian Revolving Lenders from the Canadian Loan Parties (other than in connection with Banking Services or Secured Swap Obligations), third, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Canadian Revolving Loans (including any Canadian Swingline Loans) and any Canadian Protective Advances, ratably, fourth, to pay the principal of the Canadian Protective Advances, fifth, to prepay principal on the Canadian Revolving Loans (other than the Canadian Protective Advances) and unreimbursed Canadian LC Disbursements, ratably, sixth, to pay an amount to the Agent equal to 103% of the Canadian LC Exposure on such date, to be held in the Canadian LC Collateral Account as cash collateral for such Obligations, seventh, to pay any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services and Secured Swap Obligations that are Canadian Obligations, ratably, eighth, to the payment of any other Canadian Obligation due to the Agent or any Canadian Revolving Lender from any Canadian Loan Party, and ninth, to the Canadian Borrowers or as the Borrower Agent shall direct.

(c) If any Applicable Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans or Protective Advances with respect to the applicable Borrower Group resulting in such Applicable Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans or Protective Advances owing by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Applicable Lender to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group, then the Applicable Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans and Protective Advances owing by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group that are held by the other Applicable Lenders at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans and Protective Advances owing by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group; provided that (A) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (B) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by an Applicable Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans or Protective Advances to any assignee or participant. Each Borrower within a Borrower Group consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Applicable Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Applicable Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

- 83 -

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Agent prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Applicable Lenders or the Applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrowers within such Borrower Group have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Applicable Lenders or the Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers within such Borrower Group have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Applicable Lenders or the Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of, with respect to a U.S. Revolving Loan, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or, with respect to a Canadian Revolving Loan, the Canadian Overnight Rate, and, in each case, a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Applicable Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.04(b), 2.05(b), 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(c) or 9.03(c), then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Applicable Lender to satisfy such Applicable Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

(f) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent may (but shall not be required to), in its discretion, retain any payments or other funds received by the Agent that are otherwise to be provided to an Applicable Defaulting Lender hereunder, and may apply such funds to such Applicable Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations or readvance such funds to the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group in connection with the funding of any Revolving Loan to such Borrowers or issuance of any Letters of Credit for the account of such Borrowers hereunder, including cash collateralization thereof, in accordance with this Agreement.

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Applicable Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower within a Borrower Group is required to pay any additional amount to any Applicable Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Applicable Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Applicable Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Applicable Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Applicable Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Applicable Lender in any material respect. The Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Applicable Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Applicable Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower within a Borrower Group is required to pay any additional amount to any Applicable Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Applicable Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Applicable Lender is an Applicable Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower Agent may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Applicable Lender and the Agent, replace such Applicable Lender by requiring such Applicable Lender to assign and delegate (and such Applicable Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall

- 84 -

assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if such Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower Agent shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent and each Applicable Issuing Bank, which consent in each case shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Applicable Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans and Protective Advances owing by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder with respect to such Borrower Group, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers within such Borrower Group (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. The Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any Assignment and Assumption(s) if the Applicable Defaulting Lender fails to execute the same. A Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower Agent to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that any Borrower within a Borrower Group or any Applicable Issuing Bank may have against any Applicable Lender that is an Applicable Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.20 Illegality. If any Applicable Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Effective Date that it is unlawful, for such Applicable Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Interest Period Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Applicable Lender to the Borrower Agent through the Agent, any obligations of such Applicable Lender to make or continue Interest Period Loans or to convert Floating Rate Loans to Interest Period Loans shall be suspended until such Applicable Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Agent shall upon demand from such Applicable Lender (with a copy to the Agent), either convert all Interest Period Loans of such Lender to Floating Rate Loans in the same currency, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Applicable Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Interest Period Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Applicable Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Applicable Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the determination of such Applicable Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to it.

SECTION 2.21 Cash Receipts. (a) Each U.S. Loan Party has entered into, and each Canadian Loan Party shall, within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date (or such later date approved by the Agent in its reasonable discretion), enter into, a control agreement (each, a “Blocked Account Agreement”), in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, with the Agent and any bank with which such Loan Party maintains a DDA (other than an Excluded Account) (collectively, the “Blocked Accounts”). Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that each Blocked Account shall operate solely as a collections account and that such Loan Party shall maintain a separate disbursement account for the disbursement of monies to third parties in the ordinary course of their business and other similar disbursement activities, including the presentment of checks and any ACH transfers.

(b) Each U.S. Loan Party agrees that it will cause all proceeds of the ABL First Lien Collateral (other than the Uncontrolled Cash) and for any Canadian Loan Parties, the equivalent portion of the Canadian Collateral to “ABL First Lien Collateral” (other than Uncontrolled Cash) to be deposited into a Blocked Account, which deposits may be made through a remote scanning process for purposes of depositing payment items into the Blocked Accounts from time to time. Each Loan Party agrees that it will promptly cause all such payment items to be scanned and deposited into Blocked Accounts and will provide copies at the Agent’s reasonable written request of any and all agreements entered into by a Loan Party with any third party that provides the scanning equipment or the services to reconcile the invoices with any scanned payment items.

- 85 -

(c) Each Blocked Account Agreement shall require, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or other Liquidity Event (and delivery of notice thereof from the Agent to the Borrower Agent and the other parties to such instrument or agreement) the ACH or wire transfer no less frequently than once per Business Day (unless the Termination Date shall have occurred), of all available cash balances and cash receipts, including the then contents or then entire ledger balance of each Blocked Account (net of such minimum balance, not to exceed the Dollar Equivalent Amount of $250,000 as may be required to be maintained in the subject Blocked Account by the bank at which such Blocked Account is maintained and other than any Uncontrolled Cash), to an account maintained for each Borrower Group by the Agent at BANA (each a “BANA Account”) or such other account as directed by the Agent. Subject to the terms of the applicable Security Agreement, all amounts received in a BANA Account or such other account shall be applied (and allocated) by the Agent in accordance with Section 2.10(b); provided that if the circumstances described in Section 2.18(b) are applicable, all such amounts shall be applied in accordance with such Section 2.18(b).

(d) If, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or other Liquidity Event, any cash or cash equivalents owned by any Loan Party (other than (i) an amount not to exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate that is on deposit in segregated DDAs which the Borrower Agent designates in writing to the Agent as being the “uncontrolled cash account” (the “Designated Disbursement Account”), which funds shall not be funded from, or when withdrawn from the Designated Disbursement Account, shall not be replenished by, funds constituting proceeds of the ABL First Lien Collateral or, for any Canadian Loan Parties, the equivalent portion of the Canadian Collateral to “ABL First Lien Collateral” so long as such Event of Default or other Liquidity Event continues, (ii) de minimus cash or cash equivalents from time to time inadvertently misapplied by any Loan Party and (iii) payroll, trust and tax withholding accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) funded in the ordinary course of business and required by applicable law) are deposited to any account, or held or invested in any manner, otherwise than in a Blocked Account subject to a Blocked Account Agreement, the Agent shall be entitled to require the applicable Loan Party within a Borrower Group to close such account and have all funds therein transferred to a Blocked Account of such Borrower Group, and to cause all future deposits to be made to a Blocked Account of such Borrower Group.

(e) The Loan Parties may close DDAs or Blocked Accounts and/or open new DDAs or Blocked Accounts, subject to the contemporaneous execution and delivery to the Agent of a Blocked Account Agreement consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.21 and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(f) Subject to clause (h) below, the BANA Account for each Borrower Group shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent. Each Loan Party within a Borrower Group hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Security Agreement, (i) such Loan Party has no right of withdrawal from the BANA Account for such Borrower Group, (ii) the funds on deposit in such BANA Account shall at all times continue to be collateral security for all of the applicable Obligations, and (iii) the funds on deposit in such BANA Account shall be applied as provided in this Agreement and, with respect to the U.S. Collateral, the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.21, any Loan Party within a Borrower Group receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any proceeds or collections required to be transferred to the BANA Account for such Borrower Group pursuant to Section 2.21(c), such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by such Loan Party for the Agent, shall not be commingled with any of such Loan Party’s other funds or deposited in any account of such Loan Party and shall promptly be deposited into such BANA Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Loan Party may be instructed by the Agent.

- 86 -

(g) So long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) no other Liquidity Event as to which the Agent has notified the Borrower Agent has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Parties within each Borrower Group may direct, and shall have sole control over, the manner of disposition of funds in the Blocked Accounts of such Borrower Group.

(h) Any amounts held or received in a BANA Account for any Borrower Group (including all interest and other earnings with respect thereto, if any) at any time (x) after the Termination Date or (y) all Events of Default and other Liquidity Events have been cured shall (subject in the case of clause (x), to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the U.S. Collateral) be remitted to the operating account of a Borrower within such Borrower Group as specified by the Borrower Agent.

SECTION 2.22 Reserves; Change in Reserves; Decisions by Agent. (a) The Agent may at any time and from time to time in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion establish and increase or decrease Reserves; provided that, as a condition to the establishment of any new category of Reserves, or any increase in Reserves resulting from a change in the manner of determination thereof, any Required Reserve Notice shall have been given to the Borrower Agent. The amount of any Reserve established by the Agent shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for the Reserve. Upon delivery of such notice, the Agent shall be available to discuss the proposed Reserve or increase, and the Borrowers may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition or matter that is the basis for such Reserve or increase no longer exists, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Agent in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion. In no event shall such notice and opportunity limit the right of the Agent to establish or change such Reserve, unless the Agent shall have determined in its Permitted Discretion that the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for such new Reserve or such change no longer exists or has otherwise been adequately addressed by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) Reserves shall not duplicate eligibility criteria contained in the definition of “Eligible Receivable”, “Eligible Tire Inventory” or “Eligible Non-Tire Inventory” and vice versa, or reserves or criteria deducted in computing the cost or market value or Value of any Eligible Receivable, any Eligible Tire Inventory or any Eligible Non-Tire Inventory or the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of any Eligible Tire Inventory or any Eligible Non-Tire Inventory and vice versa, and (ii) Reserves deducted in computing the Canadian Borrowing Base shall not be duplicative of Reserves deducted in computing the U.S. Borrowing Base and vice versa.

SECTION 2.23 Revolving Commitment Increases. (a) So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, or would result therefrom, the Borrower Agent shall have the right at any time, and from time to time, to request one or more increases in the amount of the total Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200,000,000 (up to $50,000,000 of which may be allocated to Canadian Revolving Commitment Increases) or, if less, the amount by which $1,110,000,000 exceeds the total Commitments then in effect (such amount, the “Aggregate Incremental Capacity”). Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the aggregate amount of Commitments and, without duplication, Loans outstanding hereunder at any time, including the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitment Increases, shall not exceed $1,110,000,000 at any time, (ii) the aggregate amount of U.S. Commitments and, without duplication, U.S. Revolving Loans outstanding hereunder at any time, including the aggregate amount of U.S. Revolving Commitment Increases, shall not exceed $1,050,000,000 at any time, and (iii) the aggregate amount of Canadian Commitments and, without duplication, the Dollar Equivalent Amount of Canadian Revolving Loans outstanding hereunder at any time, including the aggregate amount of Canadian Revolving Commitment Increases, shall not exceed $110,000,000 at any time.

- 87 -

(b) Revolving Commitment Increases. (i) The Agent or any other Person may arrange for existing Applicable Lenders to the Borrowers within any Borrower Group to increase their Revolving Commitments to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group or for other Persons to become Applicable Lenders to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group hereunder and to issue revolving commitments in an amount equal to the amount of the increase in the aggregate total of Revolving Commitments requested by the Borrower Agent for the Borrowers within such Borrower Group (each such increase by either means, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”, each such Revolving Commitment Increase issued to U.S. Borrowers, a “U.S. Revolving Commitment Increase” and each such Revolving Commitment Increase issued to the Canadian Borrowers, a “Canadian Revolving Commitment Increase”, and each such Person issuing, or Applicable Lender increasing, its Revolving Commitment, an “Additional Revolving Commitment Lender”, and each such Additional Revolving Commitment Lender to U.S. Borrowers, an “Additional U.S. Revolving Commitment Lender” and each such Additional Revolving Commitment Lender to the Canadian Borrowers, an “Additional Canadian Revolving Lender”); provided, however, that (A) no Revolving Lender shall be obligated to provide a Revolving Commitment Increase as a result of any such request by the Borrower Agent, provided that the Borrower Agent shall not be obligated to provide any existing Revolving Lender with the opportunity to provide a Revolving Commitment Increase and (B) any Additional Revolving Commitment Lender that is not an existing Revolving Lender shall be an Eligible Assignee and shall be subject to the approval of the Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Borrower Agent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of at least $20,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.23(b) and any Revolving Loans pursuant to such Revolving Commitment Increase or new Revolving Commitments shall be on the same terms and conditions as all other Revolving Loans, except with respect to any fees payable in connection therewith as may be separately agreed among the Borrower Agent and the Additional Revolving Commitment Lenders.

(ii) No Revolving Commitment Increase shall become effective unless and until each of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(A) the Borrower Agent, the Agent, and any Additional Revolving Commitment Lender shall have executed and delivered a customary joinder to the Loan Documents;

(B) the Borrowers within the Borrower Group that are receiving such Revolving Commitment Increase shall have paid such fees and other compensation as the Borrower Agent and each such Additional Revolving Commitment Lender may agree;

(C) the Borrower Agent shall have delivered to the Agent and the Revolving Lenders an opinion or opinions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, from counsel to the Borrowers reasonably satisfactory to the Agent (it being agreed that the counsel that delivers the legal opinions on the Effective Date shall be satisfactory to the Agent) and dated such date;

(D) to the extent requested by any Additional Revolving Commitment Lender that has issued an Additional Revolving Commitment to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group, a promissory note will be issued, at the expense of the Borrowers within such Borrower Group, to such Additional Revolving Commitment Lender, to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.10 (with appropriate modification) to the extent necessary to reflect the new Revolving Commitment of such Additional Revolving Commitment Lender; and

- 88 -

(E) the Borrower Agent shall have delivered to the Agent (1) the resolutions adopted by each Loan Party approving or consenting to such Revolving Commitment Increase and (2) a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Company to the effect that, after giving effect to the requested Revolving Commitment Increase, (x) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in this Agreement and in each of the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any representations and warranties qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on and as of the date of such Revolving Credit Increase, as applicable, with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any representations and warranties qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) as of such earlier date).

(iii) The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Revolving Commitment Increase (with each date of such effectiveness being referred to herein as a “Revolving Commitment Increase Date”), and at such time (A) the aggregate total Revolving Commitments and the aggregate total Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Revolving Commitment Increase, (B) in the case of any U.S. Revolving Commitment Increase, the aggregate total U.S. Revolving Commitments and the aggregate total U.S. Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such U.S. Revolving Commitment Increase, (C) in the case of any Canadian Revolving Commitment Increase, the aggregate total Canadian Revolving Commitments and the aggregate total Canadian Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Canadian Revolving Commitment Increase, (D) the Commitment Schedule shall be deemed modified, without further action, to reflect the revised Revolving Commitments of the Lenders, and (E) this Agreement shall be deemed amended, without further action, to the extent necessary to reflect such increased aggregate total Commitments.

(iv) In connection with Revolving Commitment Increases to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group hereunder, the Applicable Lenders and the Borrowers within such Borrower Group agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) the Borrowers within such Borrower Group shall, in coordination with the Agent, (1) repay outstanding Revolving Loans of certain Applicable Lenders, and obtain Revolving Loans from certain other Applicable Lenders (including the Additional Revolving Commitment Lenders to such Borrower Group), or (2) take such other actions as reasonably may be required by the Agent, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Applicable Lenders effectively participate in each of the outstanding Revolving Loans to such Borrower Group pro rata on the basis of their Applicable Percentages (determined after giving effect to any increase in the aggregate total Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.23); and (B) the Borrowers within such Borrower Group shall pay to the Applicable Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 2.16 in connection with any repayment and/or prepayment of Revolving Loans required pursuant to preceding clause (A). Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers provided for in this Section 2.23(b), the Agent and the Applicable Lenders agree that they will use their commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to minimize the costs of the type referred to in Section 2.16 which the Borrowers receiving a Revolving Commitment Increase would otherwise occur in connection with the implementation of an increase in the aggregate total Revolving Commitments and the aggregate total Commitments hereunder.

- 89 -

SECTION 2.24 Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby designates the Company as its representative and agent (in such capacity, the “Borrower Agent”) for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base Certificates and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Lender. The Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any notice of borrowing) delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower. The Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to the Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower. Each of the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with the Borrower Agent for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by the Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Borrower (other than the Borrower Agent) shall be authorized to request any Borrowing or Letter of Credit hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company.

SECTION 2.25 Joint and Several Liability of the U.S. Borrowers. (a) Each U.S. Borrower agrees that it is absolutely and unconditionally jointly and severally liable, as co-borrower, for the prompt payment and performance of all U.S. Obligations and all agreements of each of the U.S. Borrowers under the Loan Documents. Each U.S. Borrower agrees that its co-borrower obligations hereunder are direct obligations of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until the Termination Date.

(b) It is agreed among each U.S. Borrower, the Agent, the Applicable Issuing Banks and the Applicable Lenders that the provisions of this Section 2.25 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, the Agent, the Applicable Issuing Banks and the Applicable Lenders would decline to make Loans the U.S. Borrowers and issue Letters of Credit for the account of U.S. Borrowers. Each U.S. Borrower acknowledges that its obligations pursuant to this Section are necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement (including any provisions of this Section 2.25 to the contrary) shall limit the liability of (i) any U.S. Borrower to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that U.S. Borrower (including Loans advanced to any other U.S. Borrower and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such U.S. Borrower), U.S. LC Exposure and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related U.S. Obligations with respect thereto, for which such U.S. Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder, or (ii) the Company in respect of all of the U.S. Obligations under the Loan Documents. The Agent, the Applicable Issuing Banks and the U.S. Revolving Lenders shall have the right, at any time in their discretion, to condition Loans and Letters of Credit upon a separate calculation of borrowing availability for each U.S. Borrower and to restrict the disbursement and use of such Loans and Letters of Credit to such U.S. Borrower.

(d) Each U.S. Borrower has requested that the Agent and the U.S. Revolving Lenders make this credit facility available to the U.S. Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance the U.S. Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. The U.S. Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the U.S. Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each U.S. Borrower and ease the administration of their relationship with the U.S. Revolving Lenders, all to the mutual advantage of the U.S. Borrowers. The U.S. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Agent’s and the U.S. Revolving Lenders’ willingness to extend credit to the U.S. Borrowers and to administer the U.S. Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the U.S. Borrowers and at the U.S. Borrowers’ request.

- 90 -

(e) In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, Federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any U.S. Borrower under this Section 2.25 or under this Agreement would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such U.S. Borrower’s liability under this Section 2.25 or under this Agreement, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.25 to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the U.S. Borrowers or the Applicable Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant U.S. Borrower’s maximum liability (“U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability”). This Section 2.25(e) with respect to the U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability of each U.S. Borrower is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Applicable Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no U.S. Borrower nor any other Person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any U.S. Borrower hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each U.S. Borrower agrees that the U.S. Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability of each U.S. Borrower without impairing this Section 2.25 or this Agreement, or affecting the rights and remedies of the Applicable Lenders hereunder, provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any U.S. Borrower’s obligations hereunder beyond its U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability.

(f) In the event any U.S. Borrower (a “U.S. Paying Borrower”) shall make any payment or payments under this Section 2.25 or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Agreement, each other U.S. Borrower (each a “U.S. Non-Paying Borrower”) shall contribute to such U.S. Paying Borrower an amount equal to such U.S. Non-Paying Borrower’s “U.S. Borrower Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such U.S. Paying Borrower. For purposes of this Section 2.25, each U.S. Non-Paying Borrower’s “U.S. Borrower Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a U.S. Paying Borrower shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such U.S. Non-Paying Borrower’s U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such U.S. Non-Paying Borrower’s U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such U.S. Non-Paying Borrower from any other U.S. Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability of all U.S. Borrowers hereunder (including such U.S. Paying Borrower) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability has not been determined for any U.S. Borrower, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such U.S. Borrowers from any other U.S. Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any U.S. Borrower’s several liability for the entire amount of the U.S. Obligations (up to such U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability). Each of the U.S. Borrowers covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Section 2.25 from a U.S. Non-Paying Borrower shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the U.S. Obligations until the Termination Date. This provision is for the benefit of all of the Agent, the Applicable Issuing Banks, the Applicable Lenders, the U.S. Borrowers and the other U.S. Loan Parties and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

- 91 -

SECTION 2.26 Loan Account; Statement of Obligations. (a) The Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrowers within each Borrower Group resulting from each Revolving Loan made to such Borrowers or issuance of a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrowers from time to time and all other payment Obligations of such Borrowers hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including accrued interest, fees and expenses thereon. Any failure of the Agent to record anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers within each Borrower Group to pay any amount owing by such Borrower Group hereunder. The Agent may maintain a single Loan Account for each Borrower Group in the name of the Borrower Agent, and each Borrower within each Borrower Group confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of its liability for the Obligations of such Borrower Group. In the absence of manifest error, entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein.

(b) The Borrowers within each Borrower Group hereby authorize the Agent, from time to time without prior notice to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group, to charge to the Loan Account of such Borrower Group all interest and all fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, all costs and expenses payable by any Loan Party within such Borrower Group hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, all fees and costs provided for in Section 2.12 with respect to such Borrower Group, and all other payments due and payable under any Loan Document, which amounts so charged shall thereafter constitute Revolving Loans owing by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group hereunder which shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans in the case of Revolving Loans owing by U.S. Borrowers, Canadian Base Rate Loans in the case of Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars and owing by the Canadian Borrowers or Canadian Prime Rate Loans in the case of Revolving Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars and owing by the Canadian Borrowers (unless and until converted into Interest Period Loans in accordance with the terms hereof); provided that the Agent shall not be authorized to charge any such amount to the Loan Account unless the same shall not have been paid by any Loan Party within the applicable Borrower Group when payment of such amount has otherwise become due and payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Any interest not paid by any Loan Party within a Borrower Group within two Business Days after such payment of such amount has otherwise become due and payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be compounded by being charged to the Loan Account of such Borrower Group and shall thereafter constitute Revolving Loans hereunder owing by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans in the case of Revolving Loans owing by U.S. Borrowers, Canadian Base Rate Loans in the case of Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars and owing by the Canadian Borrowers or Canadian Prime Rate Loans in the case of Revolving Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars and owing by the Canadian Borrowers (unless and until converted into Interest Period Loans in accordance with the terms hereof).

SECTION 2.27 Extensions of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments. (a) The Borrower Agent may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group (including any previously extended Revolving Commitments to such Borrowers) existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Commitment” and any related revolving loans under any such facility, “Existing Revolving Loans”) be exchanged to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Existing Revolving Loans related to such Existing Revolving Commitments (any such Existing Revolving Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Commitments”, any such Extended Revolving Commitments to the U.S. Borrowers, “Extended U.S. Revolving Commitments”, any such Extended Revolving Commitments to the Canadian Borrowers, “Extended Canadian Revolving Commitments” and

- 92 -

any related Revolving Loans, “Extended Revolving Loans”, any Extended Revolving Loans to the U.S. Borrowers, “Extended U.S. Revolving Loans” and any Extended Revolving Loans to the Canadian Borrowers, “Extended Canadian Revolving Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.27. Prior to entering into any Extension Agreement with respect to any Extended Revolving Commitments to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group, the Borrower Agent shall provide a notice to the Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Applicable Lenders of the applicable Class of Existing Revolving Commitments) (a “Revolving Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established thereunder, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Revolving Commitments from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class”) except (x) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Revolving Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Existing Revolving Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class, (y) the all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be higher or lower than the all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) for the Existing Revolving Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class and (z) the commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be higher or lower than the commitment fee rate for Existing Revolving Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.27 or otherwise, (1) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of the Extended Revolving Loans under any Extended Revolving Commitments to the Borrowers within any Borrower Group shall be made on a pro rata basis with any borrowings and repayments of the Existing Revolving Loans to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group (the mechanics for which may be implemented through the applicable Extension Agreement and may include technical changes related to the borrowing and repayment procedures of this Agreement), (2) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans shall be governed by the assignment and participation provisions set forth in Section 9.04 and (3)(I) in the case of Section 2.09, no permanent repayment of Extended Revolving Loans by the Borrowers within a Borrower Group (and corresponding permanent reduction in the related Extended Revolving Commitments to such Borrowers) shall be permitted unless all Existing Revolving Loans to such Borrowers and all Existing Revolving Commitments to such Borrowers of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class, shall have been repaid in full and terminated, respectively and (II) in all other cases, no termination of Extended Revolving Commitments to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group and no repayment of Extended Revolving Loans by such Borrowers accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in Extended Revolving Commitments to such Borrowers shall be permitted unless such termination or repayment (and corresponding reduction) is accompanied by at least a pro rata termination or permanent repayment (and corresponding pro rata permanent reduction), as applicable, of the Existing Revolving Loans to such Borrowers and Existing Revolving Commitments to such Borrowers of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class (or all Existing Revolving Commitments of such Class and related Existing Revolving Loans shall have otherwise been terminated and repaid in full). Any Extended Revolving Commitments of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Commitments from Existing Revolving Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class and from any other Existing Revolving Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Commitments so established on such date).

(b) The Borrower Agent shall provide the applicable Extension Request with respect to the Existing Revolving Commitments of the Borrowers within any Borrower Group at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Applicable Lenders under the Existing Class are requested to respond. Any Applicable Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments (or any earlier Extended Revolving Commitments) of an Existing Class subject to such Extension Request exchanged into Extended Loans/Commitments shall notify the Agent (an

- 93 -

“Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Revolving Commitments (and/or any earlier Extended Revolving Commitments) which it has elected to convert into Extended Loans/Commitments to such Borrowers, but in no event shall any Applicable Lender be required to become an Extending Lender. In the event that the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments (and any earlier Extended Revolving Commitments) subject to Extension Elections with respect to any Borrower Group exceeds the amount of Extended Loans/Commitments requested by such Borrower Group pursuant to the Extension Request, Revolving Commitments (and any earlier Extended Revolving Commitments) subject to Extension Elections with respect to such Borrower Group shall be exchanged to Extended Loans/Commitments with respect to such Borrower Group on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Revolving Commitments (and any earlier Extended Revolving Commitments) included in each such Extension Election. Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Revolving Commitment into an Extended Revolving Commitment, such Extended Revolving Commitment shall be treated identically to all Existing Revolving Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class for purposes of the obligations of an Applicable Lender in respect of Swingline Loans under Section 2.05 and Letters of Credit under Section 2.06, except that the applicable Extension Agreement may provide that the last day for making Swingline Loans and/or the last day for issuing Letters of Credit with respect to the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group may be extended and the related obligations to make Swingline Loans and issue Letters of Credit with respect to such Borrowers may be continued (pursuant to mechanics set forth in the applicable Extension Agreement) so long as the Applicable Swingline Lender and/or the Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, have consented to such extensions (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension).

(c) Extended Loans/Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Agreement”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.27(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.02, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Loans/Commitments established thereby) executed by the Borrower Agent, the Agent and the Extending Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.27 and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 9.02 to any Section 2.27 Additional Agreements, any Extension Agreement may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.27 Additional Agreement”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.27 Additional Agreements do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.27 Additional Agreements have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Loans/Commitments provided for in any Extension Agreement) by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.27 Additional Agreements to become effective in accordance with Section 9.02. It is understood and agreed that each Lender has consented, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this Section 2.27 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith except that the foregoing shall not constitute a consent on behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Section 2.27 Additional Agreement. In connection with any Extension Agreement, the Borrower Agent shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Agent (i) as to the enforceability of such Extension Agreement, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby (in the case of such other Loan Documents as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence), (ii) to the effect that such Extension Agreement, including without limitation, the Extended Loans/Commitments provided for therein, does not conflict with or violate the terms and provisions of Section 9.02 of this Agreement and (iii) as to any other matter reasonably requested by the Agent.

- 94 -

SECTION 2.28 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Available Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(b) the Commitment and U.S. Revolving Exposure or Canadian Revolving Exposure, as applicable, of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, all affected Lenders, the Required Lenders or the Super Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time an Applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Applicable Defaulting Lender with respect to the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group shall be reallocated among the non-Applicable Defaulting Lenders with respect to such Borrower Group in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (excluding, for purposes of calculating the Applicable Percentages, the Commitments and Loans of the Applicable Defaulting Lender) but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Applicable Defaulting Lenders’ U.S. Revolving Exposures or Canadian Revolving Exposures, as applicable, plus such Applicable Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure with respect to such Borrower Group does not exceed the lesser of the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments to such Borrower Group and the U.S. Borrowing Base or Canadian Borrowing Base, as applicable, and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time; and

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group shall within three (3) Business Days following notice by the Agent (x) first, prepay the Swingline Exposure of such Applicable Defaulting Lender with respect to such Borrower Group and (y) second, cash collateralize such Applicable Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure with respect to such Borrower Group (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrowers within a Borrower Group cash collateralize any portion of such Applicable Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure with respect to such Borrower Group pursuant to this Section 2.28(c), the Borrowers within such Borrower Group shall not be required to pay any fees to such Applicable Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Applicable Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure to such Borrowers during the period to the extent such Applicable Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the Applicable Defaulting Lender with respect to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.28(c), then the fees payable to the non-Applicable Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Applicable Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages (excluding, for purposes of calculating the Applicable Percentages, the Commitments and Loans of the Applicable Defaulting Lender); or

- 95 -

(v) if any Applicable Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.28(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Applicable Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Applicable Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

(d) so long as any Applicable Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Applicable Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Applicable Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Borrower Group Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group in accordance with Section 2.28(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders to such Borrower Group in a manner consistent with Section 2.28(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(e) in the event and on the date that each of the Agent, the Borrower Agent, the Applicable Issuing Banks and the Applicable Swingline Lender agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Applicable Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the other Applicable Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of the Revolving Commitment of the Applicable Lender that previously was a Defaulting Lender and on such date such Applicable Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Applicable Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Applicable Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

SECTION 2.29 Currency Matters. Dollars are the currency of account and payment for each and every sum at any time due from the Loan Parties hereunder, provided that, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise agreed to by the Agent:

(a) Each repayment of a Loan or a reimbursement of a draw on a Letter of Credit, as applicable, or a part thereof shall be made in the currency in which such Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated at the time of such repayment;

(b) Each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which such principal or other sum in respect of which such interest has accrued is denominated;

(c) Each payment of fees by a U.S. Borrower shall be in Dollars;

(d) Each payment of fees by a Canadian Borrower shall be in Canadian Dollars;

(e) Each payment in respect of costs, expenses and indemnities shall be made in the currency in which the same were incurred by the party to whom payment is to be made (unless such currency is not Dollars or Canadian Dollars, in which case such payment shall be made in Dollars); and

(f) Any amount expressed to be payable in Canadian Dollars shall be paid in Canadian Dollars.

No payment to any Secured Party (whether under any judgment or court order or otherwise) shall discharge the obligation or liability of the Loan Party in respect of which it was made unless and until such Secured Party shall have received payment in full in the currency in which such obligation or liability was incurred or is outstanding (unless such currency is not Dollars or Canadian Dollars, in which

- 96 -

case such payment shall be made in Dollars). To the extent that the amount of any such payment shall, on actual conversion into such currency, fall short of such obligation or liability, whether actual or contingent (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made or asserted), expressed in such currency, such Loan Party (together with the other Loan Parties within its Borrower Group) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless such Secured Party, with respect to the amount of such shortfall, with such indemnity surviving termination of this Agreement and any legal proceeding, judgment or court order pursuant to which the original payment was made which resulted in the shortfall. To the extent that the amount of any such payment to a Secured Party shall, upon an actual conversion into such currency, exceed such obligation or liability, whether actual or contingent (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made or asserted), expressed in that currency, such Secured Party shall return such excess to the members of the applicable Borrower Group.

SECTION 2.30 Currency Fluctuations.

(a) On the last Business Day of each calendar month or, in the event that the Exchange Rate fluctuates in excess of ten percent (10%) during such calendar month, any other Business Day in the reasonable discretion of the Agent (the “Calculation Date”), the Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such date. The Exchange Rate so determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following such determination (a “Reset Date”) and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date. Nothing contained in this Section 2.30 shall be construed to require the Agent to calculate compliance under this Section 2.30 more frequently than once each month.

(b) On each Reset Date, the Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Canadian Revolving Exposure.

(c) If, on any Reset Date, the Canadian Revolving Exposure or the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Canadian Obligations exceeds the lesser of the Canadian Revolving Commitments and the Canadian Borrowing Base on such date (the amount of any such excess referred to herein as the “Excess Amount”) then (i) the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group and the Applicable Lenders and (ii) within one (1) Business Day thereafter, such Borrowers shall cause such excess to be eliminated, either by repayment of Revolving Loans to such Borrowers or depositing of Cash Collateral with the Agent with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrowers, and until such Excess Amount is repaid or so cash collateralized, the Applicable Lenders shall not have any obligation to make any Loans.

SECTION 2.31 Obligations of the Canadian Loan Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, no Canadian Loan Party shall be liable or in any manner responsible for, or be deemed to have guaranteed, directly or indirectly, whether as a primary obligor, guarantor, indemnitor, or otherwise, and none of their assets shall secure, directly or indirectly, any of the U.S. Loan Parties’ U.S. Obligations (including, without limitation, principal, interest, fees, penalties, premiums, expenses, charges, reimbursements, indemnities or any other U.S. Obligations) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2012 (including any notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet” and such date, the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet Date”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, has been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to the consummation of the Transactions. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable as of the date thereof, and presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the Pro Forma Balance Sheet Date, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date.

All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). No U.S. Loan Party has any material liabilities or material obligations of any kind whatsoever, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, other than liabilities or obligations provided for in the financial statements referred to in this paragraph, liabilities or obligations arising in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or liabilities which would not be required to be disclosed in an audited balance sheet (or in the notes thereto) that is prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(c) No event, change or condition has occurred that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, since the Effective Date.

SECTION 3.05 Properties. Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries has good and insurable fee simple title to, or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property interests in, all its real properties (including all Mortgaged Properties) and has good and marketable title to its personal property and assets, in each case, except for defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes and except where the failure to have such title would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens (i) permitted by Section 6.02 or (ii) arising by operation of law (which Liens, in the case of this clause (ii) do not materially interfere with the ability of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to carry on its business as now conducted or to utilize the affected properties or assets for their intended purposes).

SECTION 3.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any Loan Documents.

(b) Except for matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (i) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability and (ii) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries (1) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law or (2) has become subject to any Environmental Liability.

SECTION 3.07 Compliance with Laws, No Default. Each Loan Party is in compliance with all Requirements of Law applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to be so in compliance, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

- 99 -

SECTION 3.08 Investment Company Status. No Loan Party is an “investment company” as defined in, or is required to be registered under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECTION 3.09 Taxes. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10 ERISA; Canadian Pension Plans. (a) (a) No ERISA Event has occurred in the five year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made and is continuing or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under all Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plans, in the aggregate.

(b) Canadian Loan Parties are in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of the PBA and of any binding requirements of general application of a Governmental Authority with respect to each Canadian Pension Plan and are in compliance with any directive or order of a Governmental Authority directed specifically at a Canadian Pension Plan.

No Canadian Loan Party or an Affiliate thereof maintains, contributes or has any liability with respect to a Canadian Pension Plan which provides benefits on a defined benefit basis other than a Canadian MEPP. No Pension Event has occurred that when taken together with all other Pension Events and ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All contributions required to be made by any Canadian Loan Party or its Subsidiary to any Canadian Pension Plan have been made in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Canadian Pension Plan and the PBA. No Lien has arisen, choate or inchoate, in respect of any Canadian Loan Party or their property in connection with any Canadian Pension Plan (save for contribution amounts not yet due).

SECTION 3.11 Disclosure. (a) All written information (other than the Projections, the pro forma financial statements and estimates and information of a general economic or general industry nature) concerning the Company, the Transactions and any other transactions contemplated hereby prepared by or on behalf of the foregoing or their representatives and made available to any Lender or the Agent in connection with the Transactions on or before the date hereof (the “Information”), when taken as a whole, as of the date such Information was furnished to the Lenders and as of the Effective Date, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact as of any such date or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made (giving effect to all supplements and updates).

- 100 -

fact, the Other Information is subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, that no assurance can be given that any particular projections will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Other Information may differ from the projected results and such differences may be material), and (ii) as of the Effective Date, have not been modified in any material respect by the Loan Parties.

As of the Effective Date, and immediately after giving effect to the Canadian Acquisition and the consummation of the other Transactions to occur on the Effective Date, (i) the fair value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Effective Date.

SECTION 3.13 Insurance. All insurance required by Section 5.10 is in full force and effect and all premiums in respect of such insurance have been duly paid. The Company believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Company and the Subsidiaries is adequate and is in accordance with normal industry practice.

SECTION 3.14 Capitalization and Subsidiaries. As of the date hereof, Schedule 3.14 sets forth (a) a correct and complete list of the name and relationship to the Company of each and all of the Company’s Subsidiaries, (b) a true and complete listing of each class of the Company’s and each Subsidiary’s authorized Equity Interests, of which all of such issued shares are validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and owned beneficially and of record by the Persons identified on Schedule 3.14, and (c) the type of entity of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Subsidiaries owned by any Loan Party have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.02). As of the Effective Date, there are no outstanding purchase options, warrants, subscription rights, agreements to issue or sell, convertible interests or powers of attorney granted by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company relating to Equity Interests of the Company or any Subsidiary.

SECTION 3.15 Security Interest in Collateral. The provisions of the Collateral Documents are effective to create legal and valid Liens (a) on the applicable U.S. Collateral described in each therein in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties and (b) on the applicable Canadian Collateral described in each therein in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent, the Canadian Lenders and the other applicable Secured Parties (in each case, to the extent such matter is governed by the laws of the United States, Canada or any respective jurisdiction therein); and upon the taking of all actions described in the Loan Documents (but subject to the limitations set forth therein), including, without limitation, the filing of UCC financing statements covering the appropriate Collateral in the state of organization of each applicable U.S. Loan Party, the filing of PPSA and UCC financing statements covering the appropriate Collateral in the places of the registered office or domicile, the chief executive office and principal place of business and locations of Collateral of each Canadian Loan Party and the filings of short form agreements or other applicable

- 101 -

documents or notices in respect of registered and applied for United States and Canadian federal intellectual property owned by each Loan Party, such Liens will constitute perfected Liens on the Collateral, securing the applicable Secured Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Loan Party, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except in the case of (a) Permitted Encumbrances and other Liens permitted under Section 6.02, to the extent any such Permitted Encumbrances or such Liens would have priority over the Liens in favor of the Agent pursuant to any applicable law or otherwise, (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any certificate of title) to the extent the Agent has not obtained or does not maintain possession of such Collateral and (c) subject to and as provided for under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Liens granted to the Noteholder Collateral Agent on the U.S. Collateral under the Senior Secured Notes Security Documents.

Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect the consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to a right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is a party or by which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is bound.

SECTION 3.17 Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) On the Effective Date, none of the Collateral is Margin Stock.

(b) No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock.

SECTION 3.18 Senior Indebtedness. The obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents (a) for principal (including reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit whether or not drawn), interest (including, to the extent legally permitted, all interest accrued thereon after the commencement of any insolvency or liquidation proceeding at the rate, including any applicable post-default rate, specified in the applicable agreement), premium (if any), fees, indemnifications, reimbursements, expenses, damages and other liabilities payable under the Loan Documents constitute “Senior Indebtedness” under and as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note Documents, and (b) for unpaid principal (including reimbursement obligations with respect to drawn Letters of Credit) and accrued interest (including, to the extent legally permitted, all interest accrued thereon after the commencement of any insolvency or liquidation proceeding at the rate, including any applicable post-default rate, specified in the applicable agreement) constitute “Designated Senior Indebtedness” under and as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note Documents.

- 102 -

SECTION 3.19 Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party owns or has the lawful right to use all material intellectual property used in the conduct of its business, without conflict with any intellectual property rights of others, except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there is no pending or, to any Borrower’s knowledge, threatened claim that any Loan Party’s ownership, use, marketing, sale or distribution of any Inventory or other product violates another Person’s intellectual property rights.

SECTION 3.20 Use of Proceeds.

(i) EBITDA shall be increased with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter and any Test Period that contains such fiscal quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio under Section 6.12 and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; and

(ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing pro forma adjustments, the Company shall then be in compliance with Section 6.12, the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Section 6.12 as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of Section 6.12 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII.

THE AGENT

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as its agent and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents, including, with respect to the Canadian Loan Parties, the Agent acting through its Canada branch; (b) execute and deliver as Agent each Loan Document, including any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document from any Loan Party or other Person; (c) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (d) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (e) take any enforcement action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise. The Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether any Accounts or Inventory constitute Eligible Receivables or Eligible Inventory, or whether to impose or release any Reserve, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate the Agent from liability to any Lender or other Person for any error in judgment.

Any bank serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Agent hereunder.

The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at

- 140 -

the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of, or for any losses not directly and solely caused by, its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by the Borrower Agent or a Lender, and the Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly notify the Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of the Agent and the Required Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action, accelerate the Obligations under any Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Lender may take action to preserve or enforce its rights against a Loan Party where a deadline or limitation period is applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement of the Obligations held by such Lender, including the filing of proofs of claim in a Bankruptcy Proceeding.

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more agents, co-agents or sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such agents, co-agents or sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents as the Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agents, co-agents or sub-agent. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such agents, co-agents or sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any agents, co-agents or such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor to the Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower Agent. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Company, to appoint a successor; provided that, during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, no consent of the Company shall be required. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a

- 141 -

commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank reasonably acceptable to the Company. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents, branches and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as the Agent. Any successor to BANA by merger or acquisition of stock or this loan shall continue to be the Agent hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless such successor resigns as provided above.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Agent; (b) the Agent (i) does not make any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report or (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Agent or such other Person as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender and any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any such Report.

For the purposes of creating a solidarité active in accordance with Article 1541 of the Civil Code of Quebec between each Secured Party, taken individually, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, each Loan Party and each such Secured Party acknowledge and agree with the Agent that such Secured Party and the Agent are hereby conferred the legal status of solidary creditors of each such Loan Party in respect of all Obligations owed by each such Loan Party to the Agent and such Secured Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Solidary Claim”) and that, accordingly, but subject (for the avoidance of doubt) to Article 1542 of the Civil Code of Quebec, each such Loan Party is irrevocably bound towards the Agent and each Secured Party in respect of the entire Solidary Claim of the Agent and such Secured Party. As a result of the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Agent and each Secured Party shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action for the entire Solidary Claim of the Agent and such Secured Party and the right to give full acquittance for it. Accordingly, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, as solidary creditor with each Secured Party, shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action in

- 142 -

respect of the Solidary Claim and the right to give a full acquittance for same. By its execution of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, each such Loan Party not a party hereto shall also be deemed to have accepted the stipulations hereinabove provided. The parties further agree and acknowledge that such Liens (hypothecs) under the Collateral Documents and the other Loan Documents shall be granted to the Agent, for its own benefit and for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties, as solidary creditor as hereinabove set forth.

In addition, and without limiting any of the foregoing, for the purposes of holding any hypothec granted to the Attorney (as defined below) pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure payment of any debenture issued by any Loan Party, each of the Secured Parties (as defined below) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of the Agent, to act as the person holding the power of attorney (i.e. “fondé de pouvoir”) (in such capacity, the “Attorney”) of the creditors as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec, and to enter into, to take and to hold on their behalf, and for their benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Attorney under any related deed of hypothec. Moreover, without prejudice to such appointment and authorization to act as the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid, each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent (in such capacity, the “Quebec Custodian”) to act as agent and custodian for and on behalf of the Secured Parties to hold and be the sole registered holder of any debenture which may be issued under any such deed of hypothec, the whole notwithstanding Section 32 of An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec) or any other applicable law, and to execute all related documents. Each of the Attorney and the Quebec Custodian shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Attorney and the Quebec Custodian (as applicable) pursuant to any such deed of hypothec, debenture, debenture pledge agreement, applicable laws or otherwise, (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Secured Parties, and (c) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or duties under any deed of hypothec, debenture, or debenture pledge agreement on such terms and conditions as it may determine from time to time. Any person who becomes a Secured Party shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Assumption, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed: (i) the Attorney as the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Secured Party, all actions taken by the Attorney in such capacity, and (ii) the Quebec Custodian as the agent and custodian as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Secured Party, all actions taken by the Quebec Custodian in such capacity. The substitution of the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 also constitute the substitution of the Attorney and the Quebec Custodian. For the purposes of this paragraph, “Secured Parties” means collectively (a) the Lenders, (b) the Agent, (c) each Issuing Bank, (d) each counterparty to any Swap Agreement with a Loan Party the obligations under which constitute Secured Swap Obligations, (e) each Swingline Lender, (f) the beneficiaries of each indemnification obligation undertaken by any Loan Party under any Loan Document, (g) each Person providing Banking Services which constitute Banking Services Obligations and (h) the successors and permitted assigns of each of the foregoing.

The co-arrangers, joint bookrunners and syndication agent shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent, any Lender or an Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document (other than any such amendment to effectuate any modification thereto expressly contemplated by the terms of such other Loan Documents), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender (including any Defaulting Lender) without the written consent of such Lender; it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Article IV or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of any Revolving Commitments, or the making of any Protective Advance, so long as in compliance with the provisions of Section 2.04, shall not constitute an increase of any Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender; provided that any change to the second and third provisos to the second sentence of Section 2.04(a) shall require the written consent of each Revolving Lender, (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (including any Defaulting Lender), (C) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the provisions of Section 2.13(f) providing for the default rate of interest, or to waive any obligations of the Borrowers to pay interest at such default rate, (D) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of Canadian Borrowing Base or U.S. Borrowing Base without the written consent of the Super Majority Lenders, (E) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Super Majority Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Revolving Lenders (or Revolving Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Revolving Lender, (F) release all or substantially all of the Loan Guarantors from their obligations under the Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, including pursuant to Section 6.03, 6.05 or 10.11 hereof), without the written consent of each Lender, (G) except as provided in clause (c) or (d) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender or (H) make any change to the definition of “Aggregate Borrowing Base,” “Borrowing Base”, “Canadian Borrowing Base”, “Eligible Tire Inventory”, “Eligible Non-Tire Inventory”, “Eligible

- 145 -

Receivable” or “Net Orderly Liquidation Value”, “U.S. Borrowing Base”, or “Value” or add any new categories of eligible assets, in each case, that would have the effect of increasing the amount of the U.S. Borrowing Base or the Canadian Borrowing Base, without the written consent of the Super Majority Lenders; and provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent, any Applicable Issuing Bank or any Applicable Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent, such Applicable Issuing Bank or such Applicable Swingline Lender, as the case may be. The Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that any Commitment or Loan held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded from a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders).

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) upon the Termination Date, (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of the property constituting such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Loan Party, to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Loan Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Loan Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Loan Guaranty in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (vi) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the Collateral Documents, and (vii) as required pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that the Agent may, in its discretion, release the Lien on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $5,000,000 during each fiscal year without the consent of any Lender. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral to the extent required under the provisions of the Loan Documents.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.02, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Agent and may be amended and waived with the consent of the Agent at the request of the Borrower Agent without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lenders if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(e) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Revolving Lender”, “each Lender”, “each Revolving Lender directly affected thereby” or “each Lender directly affected thereby”, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Company may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash at par the Loans and other Obligations due to the

- 146 -

Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, (ii) the replacement Lender shall pay the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)(iii)(C), if applicable in accordance with the terms of such Section, (iii) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver or consent and (iv) the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group hereunder to and including the date of termination, including, without limitation, payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, each of the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Parker, Hudson, Rainer & Dobbs LLP and Norton Rose Canada LLP, counsel for the Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation of the Loan Documents and related documentation, (ii) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of outside U.S. legal counsel and one firm of outside Canadian local counsel (to the extent relevant) to the Agent, in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of any Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated), (iii) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, Issuing Banks or the Lenders, including the reasonable documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent and for one law firm retained by the Lenders, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or related negotiations in respect of such Loans of Letters of Credit, and (iv) subject to any other provisions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent in the administration of the Loan Documents. Expenses reimbursable by the Company under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to any other applicable provision of any Loan Document, reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with:

(i) appraisals;

(ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the Agent or (notwithstanding any reference to “out-of-pocket” above in this Section 9.03) the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Agent with respect to each field examination;

(iii) lien and title searches, title insurance and endorsements to Title Insurance Policies;

(iv) taxes, fees and other charges for recording any Mortgages, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Agent’s Liens; and

- 147 -

(v) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral.

Other than to the extent required to be paid on the Effective Date, all amounts due under this paragraph (a) shall be payable by the Company within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of an invoice relating thereto and setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail.

(b) Each Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel for all Indemnitees and, if necessary, of a single separate firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest (as reasonably determined by the Indemnitee affected by such conflict) where such Indemnitee informs the Company of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee) incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses or fees (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, its Affiliates or any of its Related Parties, (ii) result from a material breach of the obligations of any such Indemnitee or one of its Related Parties under the Loan Documents or (iii) disputes brought by and between and among Indemnitees (not involving an act or omission of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties or their Affiliates as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision); provided that the Agent, Issuing Banks and Swingline Lenders shall remain indemnified in respect of such disputes to the extent otherwise entitled to be so indemnified.

(c) To the extent that any Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent, such Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto or any Related Party thereof, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

- 148 -

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be paid, unless otherwise specified, promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than as a matter of law following an event that is permitted in accordance with Section 6.03 of this Agreement, no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section (any attempted assignment or transfer not complying with the terms of this Section shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Company; provided that no consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default specified in paragraphs (a), (g) or (h) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing;

(B) the Agent; and

(C) each Applicable Issuing Bank.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, any assignment of any Loans or Commitments to any Purchasing Debt Affiliate shall also be subject to the requirements of Section 9.04(f).

(iii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or the principal amount of Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent and determined on an aggregate basis in the event of concurrent assignments to Related Funds (as defined below)) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default specified in paragraphs (a), (g) or (h) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing;

- 149 -

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(D) the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Agent an agreement to be a party and subject to, and accept the terms of, the allocation and exchange mechanism agreement among the Agent and the Lenders; and

(E) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver on or prior to the effective date of such assignment, (1) to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and (2) to the Borrower Agent (with a copy to the Agent) the tax forms required by Sections 2.17(e) and (f).

The term “Related Funds” shall mean with respect to any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any other Approved Fund that is managed or advised by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor.

(iv) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring on or prior to the effective date of such assignment). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(v) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Agent, the Issuing Banks and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(vi) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and tax forms required by Section 9.04(b)(iii)(D)(2) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Agent shall

- 150 -

accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(c) or 9.03(c), the Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vii) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of any Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee, legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.04(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, the Borrower Agent, the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by

- 151 -

assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely as a non-fiduciary agent (solely for tax purposes) of the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Participants and principal amount (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender, each Loan Party and the Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(e) or (f), as applicable, as though it were a Lender.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Agent and the Borrower Agent, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrowers, the Borrower Agent and the Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Company and the Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(f) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Commitments and/or Loans to any Purchasing Debt Affiliate in accordance with Section 9.04(f); provided that:

(i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom; and

(ii) no Loan or Commitment may be assigned to a Purchasing Debt Affiliate pursuant to this Section 9.04(f), if after giving effect to such assignment, Purchasing Debt Affiliates in the aggregate would own in excess of 10% of all Commitments then outstanding.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Purchasing Debt Affiliate shall have any right to (A) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Loan Parties are not invited, and (B) receive any information or material prepared by the Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Agent and/or one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to any Loan Party or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Commitments and Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II), or (C) make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Agent or any other Lender with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of such Agent or any other such Lender under the Loan Documents.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.04 or the definitions of “Required Lenders” or “Super Majority Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders, the Super Majority Lenders or any other requisite Class vote required by this Agreement have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Commitments held by any Purchasing Debt Affiliate shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders, the Super Majority Lenders (or requisite vote of any Class of Lenders) have taken any actions.

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent, an Issuing Bank, a Swingline Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreement with respect to fees payable to the Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07 Severability. To the extent permitted by law, any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Applicable Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Applicable Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group or any Applicable Guarantor of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations with respect to such Borrower Group against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Applicable Lender with respect to such Borrower Group, irrespective of whether or not such Applicable Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The Applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower Agent and the Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Applicable Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Applicable Lender may have.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, AT ANY TIME THAT ANY OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF, LENDER’S LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE LENDERS REQUIRED BY SECTION 9.02 OF THIS AGREEMENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY, OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO AGENT PURSUANT TO THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OR ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE PARTIES AS REQUIRED ABOVE, SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS.

(a) The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations, tests or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided.

- 158 -

creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity, as set forth in such Loan Documents, and the security interests and Liens granted under Collateral Documents and each other Loan Document by such Loan Guarantor in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties, are and continue to be, duly perfected, security interests and Liens (having the Lien priority set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the U.S. Collateral), in each case, to the full extent provided by the terms of the Collateral Documents and each other Loan Document and subject only to Liens permitted under the Loan Documents, to the extent provided therein.

SECTION 9.20 INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. EACH LENDER HEREUNDER (A) CONSENTS TO THE SUBORDINATION OF LIENS PROVIDED FOR IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO U.S. COLLATERAL THAT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE ABL FIRST LIEN COLLATERAL, (B) AGREES THAT IT WILL BE BOUND BY AND WILL TAKE NO ACTIONS CONTRARY TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND (C) AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AS ABL AGENT AND ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED AS AN INDUCEMENT TO THE LENDERS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO EXTEND CREDIT TO BORROWERS AND SUCH LENDERS ARE INTENDED THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF SUCH PROVISIONS AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

SECTION 9.21 Judgment Currency. If, for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any court or obtaining an order enforcing a judgment, it becomes necessary to convert any amount due under this Agreement in Dollars or in any other currency (hereinafter in this Section 9.21 called the “first currency”) into any other currency (hereinafter in this Section 9.21 called the “second currency”), then the conversion shall be made at the prevailing Exchange Rate for buying the first currency with the second currency at the Agent’s close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which the judgment is given or (as the case may be) the order is made. Any payment made by a Borrower within a Borrower Group to the Agent, any Applicable Lender, any Applicable Issuing Bank or any Applicable Swingline Lender pursuant to this Agreement in the second currency shall constitute a discharge of the obligations of the Borrowers within such Borrower Group only to the extent of the amount of the first currency which the Agent, such Applicable Lender, such Applicable Issuing Bank or such Applicable Swingline Lender is able, on the date of the receipt by it of such payment in any second currency, to purchase, in accordance with the Agent, such Applicable Lender, such Applicable Issuing Bank or such Applicable Swingline Lender’s normal banking procedures, with the amount of such second currency so received. If the amount of the first currency purchased pursuant to the preceding sentence falls short of the amount originally due to the Agent, such Applicable Lender, such Applicable Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender in the first currency under this Agreement, the Borrowers within such Borrower Group agree that they will indemnify the Agent, each Applicable Lender, each Applicable Issuing Bank and each Applicable Swingline Lender against and hold the Agent, each Applicable Lender, each Applicable Issuing Bank and each Applicable Swingline Lender harmless from any shortfall so arising. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation of each such Borrower separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due to the Agent, any Applicable Lender, any Applicable Issuing Bank or any Applicable Swingline Lender under any Loan Documents or under any such judgment or order. Any such shortfall shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Agent, such Applicable Lender, such Applicable Issuing Bank or such Applicable Swingline Lender. If the amount of the first currency exceeds the amount originally due to the Agent, any Applicable Lender, any Applicable Issuing Bank or any Applicable Swingline Lender in the first currency under this Agreement, the Agent, such Applicable Lender, such Applicable Issuing Bank or such Applicable Swingline Lender shall promptly remit such excess to the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group. The covenants contained in this Section 9.21 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments under this Agreement.

- 159 -

SECTION 9.22 Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. If the Agent has ascertained the identity of any Canadian Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Canadian Loan Party for the purposes of the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, economic or trade sanctions and “know your client” policies, regulations, laws or rules (the Proceeds of Crime Act and such other applicable policies, regulations, laws or rules, collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), then the Agent shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Canadian Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Canadian Lender and the Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and shall provide to each Canadian Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Canadian Lenders agrees that Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Canadian Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Canadian Loan Parties on behalf of any Canadian Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Canadian Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

(b) The obligations of each Applicable Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or Regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Applicable Obligated Party, of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(c) Further, the obligations of any Applicable Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Agent, any Applicable Issuing Bank, any Applicable Swingline Lender or any Applicable Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of each Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group for all or any part of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Agent, any Applicable Issuing Bank, any Applicable Swingline Lender or any Applicable Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Applicable Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Applicable Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than as expressly provided in Section 10.11).

SECTION 10.04 Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Applicable Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group or any Applicable Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group or any Applicable Guarantor, other than the termination of an Applicable Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 10.11. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Applicable Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Applicable Obligated Party, or any other Person. The Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Applicable Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Applicable Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Applicable Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash.

- 161 -

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Applicable Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Applicable Guarantor against any Applicable Obligated Party or any security.

SECTION 10.05 Rights of Subrogation. No Applicable Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Applicable Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties, the Canadian Obligations Guarantors and the U.S. Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders, including without limitation payment in full of all of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments.

SECTION 10.06 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement or reorganization of any Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group or otherwise, each Applicable Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement or reorganization of any Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Applicable Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Agent, the Applicable Lender or the other applicable Secured Party.

SECTION 10.07 Information. Each Applicable Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Applicable Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that none of the Agent, any Applicable Issuing Bank, any Applicable Swingline Lender or any Applicable Lender shall have any duty to advise any Applicable Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

SECTION 10.08 Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state, Canadian federal or provincial corporate law, or any state, provincial, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Applicable Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Applicable Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Applicable Guarantors or the applicable Secured Parties, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Applicable Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section 10.08 with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Applicable Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the applicable Secured Parties to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Applicable Guarantor nor any other Person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Applicable Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Applicable Guarantor agrees that the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Applicable Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the applicable Secured Parties hereunder, provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to

- 162 -

increase any Applicable Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement (including any provisions of this Article X to the contrary) shall limit the liability of the Borrowers within each Borrower Group in respect of all of the Obligations of such Borrowers under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.09 Contribution.

(a) In the event any Canadian Obligations Guarantor (a “Canadian Obligations Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty in respect of the Canadian Obligations or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Canadian Obligations Guarantor (each a “Canadian Obligations Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Canadian Obligations Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Canadian Obligations Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Canadian Obligations Guarantor Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Canadian Obligations Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each Canadian Obligations Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Canadian Obligations Guarantor Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Canadian Obligations Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Canadian Obligations Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Canadian Obligations Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Canadian Obligations Non-Paying Guarantor from a Canadian Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Canadian Obligations Guarantors hereunder (including such Canadian Obligations Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Canadian Obligations Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Canadian Obligations Guarantors from a Canadian Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Canadian Obligations Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Canadian Obligations Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Canadian Obligations Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Canadian Obligations Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the termination of a Canadian Obligations Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 10.11. This provision is for the benefit of all of the Agent, the Canadian Issuing Banks, the Canadian Swingline Lenders, the Canadian Lenders, the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) In the event any U.S. Guarantor (a “U.S. Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty in respect of the U.S. Obligations or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other U.S. Guarantor (each a “U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such U.S. Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor’s “U.S. Guarantor Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such U.S. Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor’s “U.S. Guarantor Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a U.S. Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor from any U.S. Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all U.S. Guarantors hereunder (including such U.S. Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving

- 163 -

effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any U.S. Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such U.S. Guarantors from any U.S. Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any U.S. Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations (up to such U.S. Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the U.S. Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the termination of a U.S. Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 10.11. This provision is for the benefit of all of the Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders, the Lenders, the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 10.10 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each applicable Loan Party as an Applicable Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each such Loan Party to the Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

SECTION 10.11 Termination; Release of Guarantors and Borrowers. The Loan Guaranty of all Applicable Guarantors shall terminate on the Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02(b) to the contrary (i) an Applicable Guarantor or a Borrower that is a Subsidiary shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and its Loan Guaranty and obligations as a Borrower shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder as a result of which such Guarantor or Borrower ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (A) if an Applicable Guarantor or Borrower is or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, then such Applicable Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder and its Loan Guaranty and obligations as a Borrower shall be automatically released upon notification thereof from the Borrower Agent to the Agent. In connection with any such release, the Agent shall execute and deliver to any Applicable Guarantor or Borrower that is a Subsidiary, at such Applicable Guarantor’s or Borrower’s expense, all documents that such Applicable Guarantor or Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 10.11 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Agent.

Pursuant to the terms of [Name and date of Trade Creditor’s Security Agreement] (as amended to date and as the same may be further amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Trade Security Agreement”), each Loan Party has granted or may hereafter grant to the Trade Creditor a security interest in, and hypothec on, all Inventory (as hereinafter defined) consisting of tires sold to such Loan Party by the Trade Creditor and bearing any brand name or trademark used by the Trade Creditor now or in the future (such Inventory is referred to herein as the “Branded Inventory”).

The Borrowers have requested that the Lenders extend credit to or for the benefit of the Loan Parties based, in part, on the value of the Branded Inventory, which extensions of credit will directly and indirectly benefit the Trade Creditor. As an inducement to the Lenders to so extend credit, the Loan Parties and the Trade Creditor have agreed to enter into this Agreement with the Agent for the purpose of establishing the priorities of the Trade Creditor’s and the Agent’s respective Liens on the Branded Inventory and to set forth certain other agreements between the Trade Creditor and the Agent.

Accordingly, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual covenants and conditions herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby expressly acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be bound hereby, agree as follows:

2. Consents to Liens. The Trade Creditor’s Lien on the Branded Inventory as security for the Trade Obligations is a permitted Lien under the Credit Agreement; the existence of such Lien does not constitute an Event of Default under any of the Senior Creditor Documents. The Trade Creditor shall not request, accept or receive any Lien or other interest in or on any of the Collateral except for Branded Inventory and to the extent that the Trade Creditor currently has a Lien on other Collateral, the Trade Creditor is hereby deemed to have released, discharged, and terminated such Lien and agrees to execute any and all documentation requested by the Agent to evidence such release, discharge, and termination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trade Creditor acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have a Lien on any proceeds of the Branded Inventory. The Trade Creditor hereby consents to each Loan Party’s grant of Liens on all of the Collateral to the Agent, for its benefit, the Lenders and their affiliates, as security for the Senior Creditor Obligations and agrees that the existence of any such Liens shall not constitute an Event of Default under any of the Trade Creditor Documents.

3. Priority of Liens.

(a) The Trade Creditor and the Agent agree at all times, whether before, after or during the pendency of any Bankruptcy Case and notwithstanding the priorities which would ordinarily result from the order of granting or perfection or opposability of any Liens, the order of filing, registering, publishing, or recording of any financing statements or similar registrations, or the priorities that would otherwise apply under applicable law, that (i) the Agent’s Liens on the Collateral constitute first priority Liens on such property to secure the Senior Obligations and shall be superior to any Lien or other interest of the Trade Creditor in or on the same property arising pursuant to the Trade Creditor Documents, by operation of law or otherwise; and (ii) any Lien or other interest at any time acquired by the Trade Creditor in or on any of the Collateral shall be subordinate to the Liens of the Agent therein or thereon, and the Trade Creditor hereby cedes priority and preference of rank of its Liens to the Agent’s Liens on such Collateral.

(b) For purposes of the foregoing priorities, any claim of a right of setoff or compensation by the Trade Creditor shall be treated in all respects as a Lien and no claim to right of setoff or compensation by the Trade Creditor shall be asserted to defeat or diminish the rights or priorities provided for herein in favor of the Agent.

(c) If for any reason any Lien granted or conveyed by a Loan Party to the Agent pursuant to the Senior Creditor Documents or otherwise is set aside or otherwise declared ineffective, in whole or in part, by any court of competent jurisdiction, and if as a consequence thereof the Trade Creditor becomes entitled to receive any proceeds from any of the Collateral or on account of the Trade Creditor’s Lien on any of the Collateral, then any such payments or proceeds received by the Trade Creditor shall be used by it to purchase a junior participation in the Senior Obligations pursuant to a junior participation agreement in form and content satisfactory to the Agent but in all events providing that the Lenders’ retained interest in the Senior Obligations (including both principal and interest) and all

costs and expenses incurred by the Agent and the Lenders (including attorneys’ fees) in attempting to collect the Senior Obligations or to realize upon any of the Collateral shall be paid in full before the Trade Creditor shall be entitled to any payment on account of its junior participation and the Trade Creditor’s junior participation will be without recourse of any kind to the Agent or any Lender except for the Agent’s or any Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct after the date of the Trade Creditor’s purchase of such junior participation.

(d) In no event shall the Trade Creditor institute, or join as a party in the institution of, or directly or indirectly assist in the prosecution of, any action, suit or proceeding seeking a determination that the Lien of the Agent on any of the Collateral is invalid, unperfected, unopposable, or avoidable, or is or should be subordinated to the interests of any other Person. In no event shall the Agent or any Lender institute, or join as a party in the institution of, or directly or indirectly assist in the prosecution of, any action, suit or proceeding seeking a determination that the Lien of the Trade Creditor on any of the Collateral is invalid, unperfected, unopposable, or avoidable, or is or should be subordinated to the interests of any Person other than the Agent under the terms hereof.

(e) If at any time the Agent shall subordinate, in whole or in part, its Lien upon any of the Collateral to or in favor of any other Person, the priority of the Agent’s Lien on the Collateral with respect to the Lien of the Trade Creditor shall not be affected thereby and the Agent’s Lien shall continue to be superior to the Trade Creditor’s Lien on the Collateral as provided in paragraph 3(a) of this Agreement.

4. Standby as to Certain Actions. The Trade Creditor agrees that it will not ask for, demand, sue for, collect, take, receive, or repossess any of the Branded Inventory or other Collateral from any Loan Party by setoff, compensation, or in any other manner, or otherwise take any Enforcement Action with respect to the whole or any part of the Collateral, whether by judicial action or under power of sale, by enforcement of hypothecary recourse, by self-help repossession or otherwise, unless and until all of the Senior Obligations have been paid finally and in full and the Lenders’ commitments to extend further credit to or for the benefit of the Borrowers have been terminated. If the Trade Creditor, in violation of the terms hereof, initiates any Enforcement Action against a Loan Party or any of the Collateral, the Agent may interpose this Agreement and demand specific performance of the terms hereof.

5. Agent’s Rights Exclusive. The Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall have the exclusive right to collect, foreclose upon, enforce a hypothecary recourse in respect of, sell, transfer, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral as provided in the Senior Creditor Documents or by applicable law, in the manner deemed appropriate by the Agent and the Lenders, without regard to any Liens of the Trade Creditor thereon, and the Trade Creditor will not hinder the Agent’s actions in enforcing its remedies or taking any Enforcement Action with respect to the Collateral; provided, however, that after payment in full of all of the Senior Obligations and the termination of the Lenders’ commitments to extend further credit to or for the benefit of the Borrowers, the Agent shall deliver to the Trade Creditor (unless otherwise restricted by applicable law or by any order issued by a court in the proper exercise of its jurisdiction and subject in all events to the Agent’s receipt of an indemnification from the Trade Creditor of all liabilities arising from such delivery) for application to the Trade Obligations any proceeds remaining from the sale or other disposition of the Collateral. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Trade Creditor waives any requirement on the part of the Agent or any Lender to conduct any sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner, and the Agent shall be fully authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral in the manner deemed appropriate by the Agent and the Lenders, including by the exercise of any right the Agent may have to accept any or all of the Collateral in total or partial satisfaction of any of the Senior Obligations in accordance with the UCC, PPSA, or otherwise.

6. Receipt of Monies by Trade Creditor. The Trade Creditor agrees that should it receive any money from the sale, liquidation, casualty or other disposition of, or as a result of its Lien, on any of the Collateral, it will (unless otherwise restricted by law) hold the same in trust and as mandatary for the Agent and the Lenders and promptly pay over the same to the Agent for application to the Senior Obligations (unless otherwise restricted by law or by any order issued by a court in the proper exercise of its jurisdiction).

7. Agreement on Certain Bankruptcy Matters.

(a) Without impairing, abrogating or in any way affecting the Agent’s or any Lender’s rights hereunder, including the relative priorities established by paragraph 3 hereof, Agent may during any Bankruptcy Case give or withhold its consent to any Loan Party’s or any bankruptcy trustee’s, receiver’s, interim receiver’s, or similar custodian’s use or consumption of any Collateral (including cash proceeds of any Accounts or other Collateral), or may provide financing or otherwise extend credit to any Loan Party or any bankruptcy trustee, receiver, interim receiver, or similar custodian, secured by a first priority Lien upon any or all of the Collateral, whether acquired by such Loan Party prior to or after the commencement of such Bankruptcy Case, and by its execution of this Agreement, the Trade Creditor shall be deemed to have consented to such Borrower’s or any bankruptcy trustee’s, receiver’s, interim receiver’s, or similar custodian’s use of any such Collateral if and to the extent consented to by the Agent and the applicable Lenders and to any financing proposed to be provided by the Lenders (or any of them) to a Loan Party or any bankruptcy trustee, receiver, interim receiver, or similar custodian that is secured by a Lien upon any or all of the Collateral during the pendency of any such Bankruptcy Case. Any Lien at any time acquired by the Trade Creditor on any of the Collateral, whether such Collateral is created, acquired or arises at any time prior to or after any such Bankruptcy Case, shall be subject to all of the terms of this Agreement and shall be subordinate in priority to all Liens at any time granted to or obtained by the Agent with respect to any such Collateral, including Liens granted to or conferred upon the Agent to secure financing in any Bankruptcy Case.

(b) If the applicable Lenders consent to the sale of any of the Collateral during any Bankruptcy Case (whether such sale is to be made pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 363, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or pursuant to or as permitted by any other Insolvency Law or otherwise), then the Trade Creditor shall be deemed to have consented to any such sale and shall, if requested to do so by the Agent in connection with any such sale, promptly execute and deliver to the Agent a release, discharge, and termination of the Trade Creditor’s Liens with respect to the Collateral to be sold.

(c) If the Agent or any Lender shall be required in any Bankruptcy Case to return, refund or repay to a Loan Party or any trustee, receiver, interim receiver, monitor, or other similar custodian or committee appointed in the Bankruptcy Case any payment or proceeds of any Collateral in connection with any action, suit or proceeding alleging that the Agent or such Lender’s receipt of such payments or proceeds was a transfer voidable under applicable law (including an Insolvency Law), then the Agent or such Lender shall not be deemed ever to have received such proceeds for purposes of this Agreement in determining whether and when all of the Senior Obligations have been paid in full.

8. Agreement to Release Liens. The Trade Creditor agrees that it will (if requested to do so by the Agent after and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Senior Creditor Documents) release, discharge, and terminate its Liens on any Collateral in connection with and in order to facilitate any orderly liquidation sale of such Collateral by any Loan Party or any bankruptcy trustee, receiver, interim receiver, monitor, or other similar custodian for such Loan Party, and promptly upon the request of the Agent, it will execute and deliver such documents, instruments and agreements as are necessary to effectuate such release, discharge, and termination and to evidence such release, discharge, and termination in the appropriate public records, provided that the net proceeds from any such sale or other disposition are to be applied in reduction of the Senior Obligations (with any excess after the Senior Obligations have been paid in full to be turned over to the Trade Creditor, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by applicable law).

9. Waiver of Marshalling; Application of Payments and Proceeds. The Trade Creditor hereby waives any right to require the Agent to marshall any security or Collateral or otherwise to compel the Agent or any Lender to seek recourse against or satisfaction of the indebtedness to it from one source before seeking recourse or satisfaction from another source. The Agent shall be authorized to apply any and all payments, collections and proceeds of Collateral received by it to such portion of the Senior Obligations as Agent may lawfully elect consistent with the provisions of the Senior Creditor Documents.

10. Provisions Concerning Insurance. Proceeds of the Collateral include insurance proceeds, and therefore the priorities set forth in paragraph 3 hereof govern the ultimate disposition of casualty insurance proceeds. The Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the Trade Creditor, to adjust settlement of insurance claims in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of the Collateral. All proceeds of such insurance shall inure to the Agent to the extent of the Senior Obligations, and the Trade Creditor shall cooperate (if necessary), at the Agent’s expense, in a reasonable manner in effecting the payment of insurance proceeds to the Agent. The Agent shall have the right (as between the parties hereto) to determine whether such proceeds will be applied to its claim or used to rebuild, replace or repair the affected Collateral. If such proceeds are applied to Senior Obligations, any proceeds remaining after payment in full of the Senior Obligations and expenses of collection, provided that Lenders’ commitments to extend further credit to or for the benefit of the Borrowers shall have been terminated, shall be promptly remitted to the Trade Creditor for application to the Trade Obligations or to the Loan Parties, as applicable.

11. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand, sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested or by telecopier and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered when delivered against receipt or four (4) Business Days after deposit in the mail, certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received at the office of the noticed party, in each case addressed as follows:

(a)     if to the Agent:	Bank of America, N.A. 300 Galleria Parkway, Suite 800 Atlanta, Georgia 30339 Attention: American Tire Loan Administration Manager Telecopier No.: (            )
(b)     if to the Trade Creditor:
	Attention:                             Telecopier No.: (            )

or to such other address as each party may designate for itself by like notice given in accordance with this paragraph. Any written notice that is not sent in conformity with the provisions hereof shall nevertheless be effective on the date that such notice is actually received by the noticed party. The Trade Creditor

hereby agrees that any requirement for the giving of notice by the Agent under the UCC, the PPSA, or otherwise in connection with any exercise by the Agent of any of its and Lenders’ rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral shall be satisfied by the giving of written notice at least five (5) days prior to the date on which such rights or remedies are to be exercised by the Agent, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to require the giving of any such notice when such notice is not required by applicable law.

12. No Duties Imposed Upon Agent or any Lender. The rights granted to the Agent in this Agreement are solely for its protection and nothing herein contained imposes on the Agent or any Lender any duties with respect to any of the Collateral. None of the Agent or any Lender has any duty to preserve rights against prior parties on any instrument or chattel paper received from any Borrower as collateral security for any of the Senior Obligations.

13. Relationship of Parties. This Agreement is entered into solely for the purposes set forth above, and neither party assumes any responsibility to the other party to advise such other party of information known to such party regarding the financial condition of any Loan Party or regarding the Collateral, or of any other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the obligations of such Loan Party, under the Trade Creditor Documents, or the Senior Creditor Documents. Each party shall be responsible for managing its relationship with the Loan Parties and neither party shall be deemed the agent or mandatary of the other for any purpose. The Trade Creditor, on one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, each may alter, amend, supplement, release, discharge or otherwise modify any terms of the Trade Creditor Documents or of the Senior Creditor Documents, respectively, without notice to or the consent of the other.

14. No Debt Subordination. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to be or operate as a subordination of any of the Senior Obligations to the Trade Obligations, or vice versa.

15. Additional Credit Extensions; Amendments to Senior Creditor Documents; Amendments to Trade Creditor Documents. The Trade Creditor acknowledges, understands and agrees that Lenders may make loans to or for the benefit of the Borrowers from time to time, pursuant to the Senior Creditor Documents or otherwise, and all such loans shall constitute part of the Senior Obligations and shall be secured by all of the Collateral, and nothing herein shall restrict in any manner or in any way the right of the Borrowers to obtain additional credit from the Lenders or the right of the Lenders to make available such additional credit to the Borrowers as the Lenders in their sole discretion may elect. The Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties may amend, modify, supplement or waive any of the provisions of the Senior Creditor Documents without notice to or the consent of the Trade Creditor and without in any manner affecting this Agreement or any of the Agent’s or any the Lender’s rights hereunder. Without the prior written consent of the Lenders, neither Trade Creditor nor any of the Loan Parties may amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Trade Creditor Document in any material respect or in any respect that could reasonably be expected to be adverse to the interests of the Agent and the Lenders.

16. Indemnity. The Trade Creditor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any loss, damage, cost, claim or expense, including court costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred or sustained by the Agent and such Lender in connection with any remittances of proceeds of any Collateral made pursuant to the terms hereof from the Agent to Trade Creditor, to the extent that such remittance of proceeds subsequently is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been prohibited by applicable law, avoidable under any Insolvency Law, or in violation of the rights of any other creditor of any Loan Party when made. The foregoing indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

17. Independent Credit Investigations. None of the parties hereto nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, successors or assigns shall be responsible to the others or to any other Person for any Loan Party’s solvency, financial condition or ability to repay any of the Trade Obligations or any of the Senior Obligations, or for statements of any Loan Party, oral or written, or for the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any of the Trade Creditor Documents or any of the Senior Creditor Documents, or the validity or priority of any Liens granted by any Loan Party to either party in connection with any of the Trade Creditor Documents or any of the Senior Creditor Documents. Each party hereto has entered into its agreements with the Loan Parties based upon its own independent investigation, and makes no warranty or representation to the other party nor does it rely upon any representation of the other party with respect to matters identified or referred to in this paragraph.

18. No Rights Conferred Upon the Loan Parties. Nothing herein shall be construed to confer any rights upon the Loan Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any party hereto shall enforce its rights or remedies in violation of this Agreement, the Loan Parties shall not be authorized to use such violation as a defense to any right or remedy exercised by such party, nor assert such violation as a counterclaim or basis of setoff or recoupment against such party, unless the other party hereto consents in writing and itself asserts that the exercise of right or remedy is in violation of this Agreement.

19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto determined, in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof, other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.

20. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to indicate that this Agreement has been entered into for the benefit of any Person other than the parties hereto.

21. Conflict with Documents. The provisions of this Agreement are intended by the parties to control any conflicting provisions in the Senior Creditor Documents or the Trade Creditor Documents, including any covenants prohibiting further borrowing or encumbrances of Collateral.

22. Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Any manually executed signature delivered by a party by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.

23. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. In no event, however, shall either party hereto transfer or assign any Lien that it may have on any of the Collateral to any Person unless the transferee or assignee thereof shall first agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement the same as if an original signatory hereto. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, any Person whose loans or advances to Borrowers (or any of them) hereafter are used to refinance and pay in full the Senior Obligations shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be the successor to the Agent, and from and after the date of any such refinancing in satisfaction in full of the Senior Obligations such Person shall be deemed a party hereto in the place and stead of the Agent as if such Person had been the original signatory hereto, and all loans, advances, liabilities, debit balances, covenants and duties at any time or times owed by the Loan Parties to such successor to the Agent, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, secured or unsecured, due or to become due, then existing or thereafter arising, including any renewals, extensions, modifications, or replacements of any of the foregoing, shall be deemed for all purposes hereunder to constitute and be Senior Obligations.

24. Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto agrees to execute such amendments to financing statements and other documents as may be necessary to reflect of record the existence of this Agreement and the relative priorities established pursuant to paragraph 3 hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trade Creditor agrees that any UCC-1 or PPSA financing statement or other document filed of record or registered to evidence, perfect, or render opposable the Trade Creditor’s Lien on any of the Branded Inventory shall conspicuously state that the Lien perfected or rendered opposable thereby is subordinate in priority to all Liens at any time granted to or conferred upon the Agent with respect to the Collateral.

25. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

26. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement expresses the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements of the parties regarding the same subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a writing signed by the parties hereto.

27. Jury Trial Waiver. The Trade Creditor and the Agent each hereby waives all rights to a trial by jury in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement.

Section 3.02 Finance Documents.

(a) This Mortgage is given pursuant to the Indenture and the other Finance Documents.

(b) If any remedy or right of the Mortgagee pursuant hereto is acted upon by the Mortgagee or if any actions or proceedings (including any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceedings) are commenced in which the Mortgagee is made a party and is obliged to defend or uphold or enforce this Mortgage or the rights of the Mortgagee hereunder or the terms of any Lease, the Mortgagor will pay all sums, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, actually incurred (not as imposed by statute) by the Mortgagee related to the exercise of any remedy or right of the Mortgagee pursuant hereto or for the expense of any such action or proceeding together with all statutory or other costs, disbursements and allowances, plus interest thereon accruing from the date such cost is incurred (and payable five (5) business days from the date of written demand for payment thereof) until such sums are paid at the Default Rate, and such sums and the interest thereon shall, to the extent permissible by law, be a lien on the Encumbered Property prior to any right, title to, interest in or claim upon the Encumbered Property attaching or accruing subsequent to the recording of this Mortgage and shall be secured by this Mortgage to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 3.03 Payment of Taxes, Liens and Charges.

(a) The Mortgagor will pay and discharge from time to time prior to the time when the same shall become delinquent, and before any interest or penalty accrues thereon or attaches thereto, all Impositions, imposed upon or assessed against the Encumbered Property or any part thereof or upon the Rents from the Encumbered Property or arising in respect of the occupancy, use or possession thereof.

(b) In the event of the passage of any state, Federal, municipal or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation subsequent to the date hereof (i) deducting from the value of real property for the purpose of taxation any lien or encumbrance thereon or in any manner changing or modifying the laws now in force governing the taxation of this Mortgage or debts secured by mortgages or deeds of trust (other than laws governing income, franchise and similar taxes generally) or the manner of collecting taxes thereon and (ii) imposing a tax to be paid by the Mortgagee, either directly or indirectly, on this Mortgage, or any other Finance Documents or to require an amount of taxes to be withheld or deducted therefrom, the Mortgagor will promptly notify the Mortgagee of such event. In such event the Mortgagor shall (i) agree to enter into such further instruments as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to obligate the Mortgagor to make any applicable additional payments, and (ii) the Mortgagor shall make all such additional payments.

(c) Mortgagor shall have the right to contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any Impositions, or to seek a reduction in the valuation of the Encumbered Property, or any part thereof, as assessed for real estate or personal property tax purposes, by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagor may commence such proceedings, however, only after payment of such Impositions, unless such payment would bar any such proceedings or interfere materially and adversely with the prosecution thereof, in which event Mortgagor may postpone or defer payment of such Impositions provided it gives Mortgagee timely notice of same. Upon such postponement or deferral, on Mortgagee’s demand, (i) Mortgagor shall provide security, for the duration of such proceedings (including any appeals), in such form and amount as shall, in Mortgagee’s reasonable judgment, assure the discharge of Mortgagor’s obligations hereunder and of any additional charge, penalty or expense incurred as a result of such proceedings; and (ii) if the Encumbered Property or any part thereof shall, in Mortgagee’s reasonable judgment, be in imminent danger of being forfeited or lost by reason of such postponement or deferral, Mortgagor shall immediately pay or cause to be paid the Impositions.

(d) If required by the Mortgagee during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Mortgagor shall pay the Mortgagee monthly, together with and in addition to the payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Finance Obligation, an amount determined by the Mortgagee to be necessary to enable the Mortgagee to pay all Impositions one month before it becomes due. If the total payments made to the Mortgagee pursuant to the preceding sentence are less than the amount required to pay any Imposition one month before it becomes due, the Mortgagor shall pay the Mortgagee, on demand, the amount necessary to make up such deficiency. If there is an excess of such payments, the excess will reduce subsequent payments required under this Section 3.03. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Mortgagee shall not be required to pay interest on any sums held pursuant to this Section 3.03. If an Event of Default has occurred, the Mortgagee may at its option apply any amounts received pursuant to this Section 3.03 to the payment of the Finance Obligations in such order as the Mortgagee may elect.

Section 3.04 Insurance. The Mortgagor will keep the Encumbered Property insured against such risks in the manner required by the other Finance Documents.

Section 3.07 Assignment of Leases and Rents.

(a) The Mortgagor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely grants, transfers and assigns to the Mortgagee all of its right, title and interest in and to all Leases, together with any and all extensions and renewals thereof for purposes of securing and discharging the Finance Obligations.

(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, without the Mortgagee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the Mortgagor will not (i) enter into, modify in any material respect, amend in any material respect, terminate or consent to the cancellation or surrender of any Lease if such entrance, modification, amendment, termination or consent would, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgagee, be adverse in any material respect to the Secured Parties, the value of the Encumbered Property or the liens and security interests created by this Mortgage or (ii) except for an assignment or subletting which is expressly permitted under the terms of the Lease, consent to an assignment of any tenant’s interest in any Lease or to a subletting thereof covering a material portion of the Encumbered Property, except, in each case, as may be permitted by this Mortgage or the other Finance Documents.

(c) The Mortgagor has assigned and transferred to the Mortgagee all of the Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to the Rents now or hereafter arising, it being intended that this assignment establish, subject to Section 3.07(d) below, an absolute transfer and assignment of all Rents and all Leases to the Mortgagee and not merely to grant a security interest therein. Such assignment to the Mortgagee shall not be construed to bind the Mortgagee to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon the Mortgagee except that the Mortgagee shall be accountable for any Rents actually received pursuant to the aforesaid assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mortgagor shall have the license and right, subject to automatic revocation as provided in Section 3.07(d) below, to operate and rent, lease or let all or any portion of the Encumbered Property and to collect all of the Rents. As provided in Section 3.07(d) below, the license granted by this Section 3.07(c) is subject to automatic revocation and thereafter the Mortgagee may, in the Mortgagor’s name and stead (with or without first taking possession of any of the Encumbered Property personally or by receiver as provided herein) operate the Encumbered Property and rent, lease or let all or any portion of any of the Encumbered Property to any party or parties at such rental and upon such terms as the Mortgagee shall, in its sole discretion, determine, and may collect and have the benefit of all of such Rents arising from or accruing at any time thereafter or that may thereafter become due.

(d) As long as no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, the license granted under Section 3.07(c) above shall be effective and the Mortgagee shall not exercise any of its rights under Section 3.07(c) above, and the Mortgagor shall receive and collect the Rents accruing under any Lease pursuant to the revocable license granted therein; but upon the occurrence and during the continuance of

any Event of Default, the license granted under Section 3.07(c) above shall be deemed to be automatically revoked and shall terminate automatically without notice and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to all of the Rents without the necessity of the Mortgagee’s taking any action whatsoever, and the Rents shall thereupon be deemed to be cash collateral for all purposes, including without limitation for purposes of Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Mortgagee may receive and collect all Rents and enter upon the Premises and Improvements through its officers, agents, employees or attorneys for such purpose and for the operation and maintenance thereof. Upon the occurrence and during any continuance of an Event of Default, the Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each tenant, if any, and each successor, if any, to the interest of any tenant under any Lease, respectively, to rely upon any notice of a claimed Event of Default sent by the Mortgagee to any such tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest, and thereafter to pay Rents to the Mortgagee without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether an Event of Default actually exists and even if notice to the contrary is received from the Mortgagor, who shall have no right or claim against any such tenant or successor in interest for any such Rents so paid to the Mortgagee. Each tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest from whom the Mortgagee or any officer, agent, attorney or employee of the Mortgagee shall have collected any Rents, shall be authorized to pay Rents to the Mortgagor only after such tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest shall have received written notice from the Mortgagee that the Event of Default is no longer continuing, which notice the Mortgagee shall be obligated to give if the Mortgagee determines in its reasonable discretion that such Event of Default is no longer continuing (or if ordered by a court or arbitrator with jurisdiction), unless and until a further notice of an Event of Default is given by the Mortgagee to such tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest.

(e) The Mortgagee will not become a mortgagee in possession so long as it does not enter and take actual possession of the Encumbered Property. In addition, the Mortgagee shall not be responsible or liable for performing any of the obligations of the landlord under any Lease, for any waste by any tenants, or others, for any dangerous or defective conditions of any of the Encumbered Property, for negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of any of the Encumbered Property or any other act or omission by any other person, except in the event the Mortgagee takes possession of the Encumbered Property, but only for occurrences or non-occurrences arising or accruing subsequent to such taking of possession of the Encumbered Property.

(f) The Mortgagor shall furnish to the Mortgagee, within 30 days after a request by the Mortgagee to do so, a written statement containing the names of all tenants, subtenants and concessionaires of the Premises or Improvements, the terms of any Lease, the space occupied and the rentals or license fees payable thereunder.

(g) If an Event of Default occurs, and if there is any applicable law requiring the Mortgagee to take actual or constructive possession of the Premises (or some action equivalent thereto, such as securing the appointment of a receiver) in order for the Mortgagee to “perfect” or “activate” its rights and remedies as set forth herein, the Mortgagor hereby waives the benefits of any such laws to the maximum extent allowable.

Section 3.08 Restrictions on Transfers and Encumbrances. Except as permitted hereby or by the Finance Documents, the Mortgagor shall not directly or indirectly sell, convey, alienate, mortgage, pledge, encumber or create, consent to or suffer the creation of any lien or charge upon any interest in or any part of the Encumbered Property.

Section 3.09 Security Agreement. This Mortgage is both a mortgage and grant of real property and a grant of a security interest in personal property, and shall constitute and serve as a “security agreement” within the meaning of the UCC. The Mortgagor hereby grants unto the Mortgagee

- 10 -

for the benefit of the Secured Parties a security interest in and to all the Encumbered Property described in this Mortgage that is not real property, and substantially contemporaneously with the recording of this Mortgage, the Mortgagor has filed or will file UCC financing statements, and will file continuation statements prior to the lapse thereof, at the appropriate offices in the state in which the Premises are located and otherwise may be required or advisable to perfect the security interest granted by this Mortgage in all the Encumbered Property that is not real property. The Mortgagor hereby appoints the Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, for the Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to execute any document and to file the same in the appropriate offices (to the extent it may lawfully do so), and to perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done to perfect the security interest hereby granted. The Mortgagee shall have all rights with respect to the part of the Encumbered Property that is the subject of a security interest afforded by the UCC in addition to, but not in limitation of, the other rights afforded the Mortgagee hereunder. The Mortgagor agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that: (i) all of the goods described within the definition of the word “Personal Property” are or are to become fixtures on the Land; (ii) this Mortgage upon recording or registration in the real estate records of the proper office shall constitute a financing statement filed as a “fixture filing” within the meaning of Section 9-502(c) of the UCC; (iii) the Mortgagor is the record owner of the Premises; and (iv) the addresses of Mortgagor and Mortgagee are as set forth in Section 5.02 of this Mortgage. Additionally, this Mortgage shall constitute a financing statement covering fixtures and/or minerals or the like (including oil and gas) and/or accounts resulting from the sale thereof at the wellhead or minehead and, as such, shall be filed for record in the real estate records of each county in which the Land, or any part thereof, is located.

Section 3.10 Filing and Recording. The Mortgagor will cause this Mortgage, any other security instrument creating a security interest in or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Encumbered Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and to protect fully the liens and security interests of the Mortgagee hereby granted in and upon the Encumbered Property. The Mortgagor will pay all filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incidental to the execution and acknowledgment of this Mortgage, any mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Encumbered Property, and any instrument of further assurance and all Federal, state, county and municipal recording, documentary or intangible taxes and other taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution, delivery and recording of this Mortgage, any mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Encumbered Property or any instrument of further assurance.

Section 3.11 Further Assurances. Upon demand by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor will, at the sole cost of the Mortgagor and without expense to the Mortgagee, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, deeds, conveyances, deeds of trust, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances as the Mortgagee shall from time to time reasonably require as necessary for the assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring and confirming unto the Mortgagee the property and rights hereby conveyed or assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which the Mortgagor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to the Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Mortgage, or for filing, registering or recording this Mortgage, and on demand, the Mortgagor will also execute and deliver and hereby appoints the Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent for the Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to execute and file to the extent it may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or comparable security instruments reasonably required by the Mortgagee to evidence or perfect the liens and security interests hereby granted and to perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done to accomplish the same.

- 11 -

Section 3.12 Additions to Encumbered Property. All right, title and interest of the Mortgagor in and to all extensions, improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutes and replacements of, and all additions and appurtenances to, the Encumbered Property hereafter acquired by or released to the Mortgagor or constructed, assembled or placed by the Mortgagor upon the Premises or the Improvements, and all conversions of the security constituted thereby, immediately upon such acquisition, release, construction, assembling, placement or conversion, as the case may be, and in each such case without any further mortgage, conveyance, assignment or other act by the Mortgagor, shall become subject to the liens and security interests of this Mortgage as fully and completely and with the same effect as though now owned by the Mortgagor and specifically described in the grant of the Encumbered Property above, but at any and all times the Mortgagor will execute and deliver to the Mortgagee any and all such further assurances, mortgages, conveyances or assignments thereof as the Mortgagee may reasonably require for the purpose of expressly and specifically subjecting the same to the liens and security interests of this Mortgage.

Section 3.13 No Claims Against the Mortgagee. Nothing contained in this Mortgage shall constitute any consent or request by the Mortgagee, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Encumbered Property or any part thereof, nor as giving the Mortgagor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against the Mortgagee in respect thereof.

ARTICLE IV.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 4.01 Events of Default. It shall be an Event of Default under this Mortgage if any Event of Default shall exist under any Finance Document.

Section 4.02 Demand for Payment. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, in addition to any other rights and remedies the Mortgagee may have pursuant to the Finance Documents, or as provided at law or in equity, and without limitation, the Finance Obligations and all other amounts payable with respect to the Notes, the Indenture, this Mortgage and all other Finance Documents shall become due and payable as provided therein. The Mortgagor shall pay to the Mortgagee within the time period set forth in the Finance Documents (or if no time period is specified therein, promptly after written demand by Mortgagee) all such amounts and such further amounts as shall be reasonably incurred (without regard to statutory presumption) to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor hereby waives notice of presentment, demand, protest, acceleration and notice of acceleration to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. In case the Finance Parties shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts or any amounts due under the Finance Documents or any provision of this Mortgage within the time period set forth in the Finance Documents (or if no time period is specified therein, promptly after written demand by Mortgagee), the Mortgagee, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided herein or at law or equity, shall be entitled and empowered to institute an action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, to prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, to enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Mortgagor and to collect, in any manner provided by law, all moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

- 12 -

Section 4.03 Rights to Take Possession, Operate and Apply Revenues.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagor shall, upon demand of the Mortgagee, forthwith surrender to the Mortgagee actual possession of the Encumbered Property and, if and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Mortgagee itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may then enter and take possession of all the Encumbered Property with or without the appointment of a receiver or an application therefor, exclude the Mortgagor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom, and have access to the books, papers and accounts of the Mortgagor.

(b) If the Mortgagor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Encumbered Property or any part thereof after such demand by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee may obtain a judgment or decree conferring upon the Mortgagee the right to immediate possession or requiring the Mortgagor to deliver immediate possession of the Encumbered Property to the Mortgagee, to the entry of which judgment or decree the Mortgagor hereby specifically consents. The Mortgagor will pay to the Mortgagee, upon demand, all reasonable expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree, including compensation to the Mortgagee’s attorneys (for reasonable fees actually incurred (not as imposed by statute)) and agents with interest thereon at the Default Rate; and all such expenses and compensation shall, until paid, be secured by this Mortgage.

(c) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagee may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Encumbered Property, conduct the business thereof and, from time to time, (i) make all necessary, proper and reasonable maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon, (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property, (iii) insure or keep the Encumbered Property insured, (iv) manage and operate the Encumbered Property and exercise all the rights and powers of the Mortgagor to the same extent as the Mortgagor could in its own name or otherwise with respect to the same or (v) enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise by others of any of the powers herein granted to the Mortgagee, all as may from time to time be directed or determined by the Mortgagee to be in its best interest and the Mortgagor hereby appoints the Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, for the Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to perform any of the foregoing acts. Regardless of whether or not the Mortgagee has entered or taken possession, the Mortgagee may collect and receive all the Rents, issues, profits and revenues from the Encumbered Property, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and, after deducting (i) all expenses of taking, holding, managing and operating the Encumbered Property (including compensation for the services of all persons employed for such purposes), (ii) the costs of all such maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments, improvements, purchases and acquisitions, (iii) the costs of insurance, (iv) such taxes, assessments and other similar charges as the Mortgagee may at its option pay, (v) other proper charges upon the Encumbered Property or any part thereof and (vi) the compensation, expenses and disbursements of the attorneys and agents of the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee shall apply the remainder of the moneys and proceeds so received first to the payment of the Mortgagee for the payment in full and satisfaction of the Finance Obligations, and second, if there is any surplus, to the Mortgagor, subject to the entitlement of others thereto under applicable law.

(d) Whenever, before any sale of the Encumbered Property under Section 4.06 hereof, Discharge of Finance Obligations shall have occurred, the Mortgagee will surrender possession of the Encumbered Property back to the Mortgagor, its successors or assigns. The same right of taking possession shall, however, arise again if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.

Section 4.04 Right to Cure the Mortgagor’s Failure to Perform. During the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to Mortgagor, should the Mortgagor fail in the payment, performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition required by this Mortgage or any other Finance Document (with respect to the Encumbered Property), the Mortgagee may pay, perform or observe the same, and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in connection

- 13 -

therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee with interest thereon at the Default Rate. The Mortgagee shall make the determination as to the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid. The Mortgagee is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Premises or the Improvements or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without having any obligation to so perform or observe and without thereby becoming liable to the Mortgagor, to any person in possession holding under the Mortgagor or to any other person.

Section 4.05 Right to a Receiver. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagee, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Encumbered Property and to collect and apply the Rents. The Mortgagor hereby consents to such appointment and acknowledges and agrees that the Mortgagee shall be entitled to such appointment without notice and without regard for the adequacy of security for the Finance Obligations or the solvency of the Mortgagor or any party liable for the Finance Obligations. The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the state wherein the Encumbered Property is located. The Mortgagor will pay to the Mortgagee upon demand all expenses, including receiver’s fees, attorneys’ fees and disbursements that are actually incurred (not as imposed by statute), costs and agent’s compensation incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.05; and all such expenses shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

Section 4.06 Foreclosure and Sale.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagee may elect to sell the Encumbered Property or any part of the Encumbered Property by exercise of the power of foreclosure or of sale granted to the Mortgagee by applicable law, this Mortgage or any other Finance Document. In such case, the Mortgagee may commence a civil action to foreclose this Mortgage, in accordance with applicable law, to satisfy any Finance Obligation. The Mortgagee or an officer appointed by a judgment of foreclosure to sell the Encumbered Property, may sell all or such parts of the Encumbered Property as may be chosen by the Mortgagee at the time and place of sale fixed by it in a notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate lots, parcels or items as the Mortgagee shall deem expedient, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder. The Mortgagee or an officer appointed by a judgment of foreclosure to sell the Encumbered Property may postpone any foreclosure or other sale of all or any portion of the Encumbered Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time as permitted by applicable law thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement or subsequently noticed sale. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, without further notice, the Mortgagee or an officer appointed to sell the Encumbered Property may make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale. Any person, including the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee or any designee or affiliate thereof, may purchase any portion of the Encumbered Property at such sale. If the Mortgagee, or any affiliate of the Mortgagee, is the highest bidder at any foreclosure sale, the Mortgagee may credit the Finance Obligations for the amount of the Mortgagee’s bid in lieu of a cash payment. Mortgagor authorizes and empowers the Mortgagee to execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at any such foreclosure sale, good and sufficient deed(s) and/or bill(s) of sale of the Encumbered Property, or the part thereof foreclosed upon, all with covenants of general warranty binding on Mortgagor and Mortgagor’s successors and assigns.

(b) The Encumbered Property may be sold subject to unpaid taxes and the Permitted Encumbrances, and after deducting all the reasonable actual costs, fees and expenses of the Mortgagee, including, without limitation, costs of evidence of title in connection with the sale, the Mortgagee or an officer that makes any sale shall apply the proceeds of sale in the manner set forth in Section 4.08 hereof.

- 14 -

(c) Any foreclosure or other sale of less than the whole of the Encumbered Property or any defective or irregular sale made hereunder shall not exhaust the power of foreclosure or of sale provided for herein; and subsequent sales may be made hereunder until Discharge of Finance Obligations shall have occurred, or the entirety of the Encumbered Property has been sold.

(d) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagee may instead of, or in addition to, exercising the rights described in Section 4.06(a) above and either with or without entry or taking possession as herein permitted, proceed by a suit or suits in law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (i) to specifically enforce payment of some or all of the terms of the Finance Documents or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Mortgage or any other right or (ii) to pursue any other remedy available to it, at law or in equity, all as the Mortgagee shall determine most effectual for such purposes.

Section 4.07 Other Remedies.

(a) In case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagee may also exercise, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, any or all of the remedies available to a secured party under the UCC, including, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the following:

(i) in the case of personal property, exercise those rights and remedies under the Security Agreement;

(ii) to make such payments and do such acts as the Mortgagee may deem necessary to protect its security interest in the Personal Property including paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge or lien that is prior or superior to the security interest granted hereunder, and, in exercising any such powers or authority, paying all expenses incurred in connection therewith; or

(iii) to enter upon any or all of the Premises or Improvements to exercise the Mortgagee’s rights hereunder.

(b) In connection with a sale of the Encumbered Property and the application of the proceeds of sale as provided in Section 4.08 of this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment of and to receive up to the principal amount of the Finance Obligations, plus all other charges, payments and costs due under this Mortgage, and to recover a deficiency judgment for any portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Finance Obligations remaining unpaid, with interest.

Section 4.08 Application of Sale of Proceeds and Rents.

(a) After any foreclosure sale of all or any of the Encumbered Property, the Mortgagee shall receive the proceeds of sale, no purchaser shall be required to see to the application of the proceeds, and the Mortgagee shall apply the proceeds of the sale together with any Rents that may have been collected and any other sums that then may be held by the Mortgagee under this Mortgage as set forth in Article IV of the Noteholder Collateral Agency Agreement.

(b) It is understood that nothing contained in this Mortgage shall exculpate the Mortgagor as to, or otherwise limit the liability of the Mortgagor for, any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Encumbered Property and the amount of the Finance Obligations, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Mortgage or any of the other Finance Documents.

- 15 -

Section 4.09 The Mortgagor as Tenant Holding Over. If the Mortgagor remains in possession of any of the Encumbered Property after any foreclosure sale by the Mortgagee, at the Mortgagee’s election the Mortgagor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith surrender possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed or evicted according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.

Section 4.10 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption Laws.

(a) The Mortgagor will not object to any sale of the Encumbered Property made in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and for itself and all who may claim under it, the Mortgagor waives, to the extent that it lawfully may, all right to have the Encumbered Property marshaled or to have the Encumbered Property sold as separate estates, parcels, tracts or units in the event of any foreclosure of this Mortgage.

(b) To the full extent permitted by the law of the state wherein the Encumbered Property is located or other applicable law, neither the Mortgagor nor anyone claiming through or under it shall or will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead-exemption or redemption laws now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Mortgage, the absolute sale of the Encumbered Property or the final and absolute putting of the purchasers into possession thereof immediately after any sale; and the Mortgagor, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all such laws and any and all right to have the assets covered by the security interest created hereby marshaled upon any foreclosure of this Mortgage.

Section 4.11 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Mortgagee shall proceed to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall be discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall be determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in every such case the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of the Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken.

Section 4.12 Suits to Protect the Encumbered Property. The Mortgagee shall have power (i) to institute and maintain suits and proceedings to prevent any impairment of the Encumbered Property by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Mortgage, (ii) to preserve or protect its interest in the Encumbered Property and in the Rents arising therefrom and (iii) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the security or be prejudicial to the interest of the Mortgagee hereunder.

Section 4.13 Filing Proofs of Claim. In case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Mortgagee allowed in such proceedings for the Finance Obligations secured by this Mortgage at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any interest accrued, late charges and additional interest or other amounts due or that may become due and payable hereunder after such date.

- 16 -

Section 4.14 Possession by the Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, liquidator or trustee of the Mortgagor, any of its property or the Encumbered Property, the Mortgagee shall be entitled, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, to remain in possession and control of all parts of the Encumbered Property now or hereafter granted under this Mortgage in accordance with the terms hereof and applicable law.

Section 4.15 Waiver.

(a) No delay or failure by the Mortgagee to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein unless otherwise expressly consented to in writing by the Mortgagee; and every right, power and remedy given by this Mortgage to the Mortgagee may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee. No consent or waiver by the Mortgagee to or of any Event of Default by the Mortgagor in the performance of the Finance Obligations shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other Event of Default in the performance of the same or any other Finance Obligations by the Mortgagor hereunder. No failure on the part of the Mortgagee to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall constitute a waiver by the Mortgagee of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent on any future Event of Default by the Mortgagor.

(b) Even if the Mortgagee (i) grants some forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of any sums secured hereby, (ii) takes other or additional security for the payment of any sums secured hereby, (iii) waives or does not exercise some right granted herein or under the Finance Documents, (iv) releases a part of the Encumbered Property from this Mortgage, (v) agrees to change some of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of any of the Finance Documents, (vi) consents to the filing of a map, plat or replat affecting the Premises, (vii) consents to the granting of an easement or other right affecting the Premises or (viii) makes or consents to an agreement subordinating the Mortgagee’s lien on the Encumbered Property hereunder; no such act or omission shall preclude the Mortgagee from exercising any other right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any Event of Default then made or of any subsequent Event of Default; nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument executed by the Mortgagee, shall this Mortgage be altered thereby. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or part of the Encumbered Property, the Mortgagee is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any vendee or transferee with reference to the Encumbered Property secured hereby, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any liabilities, obligations or undertakings.

Section 4.16 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Mortgagee by this Mortgage is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, and each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

The Mortgagor agrees that the lien of this Mortgage shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of the Mortgagee and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien hereof shall not be impaired by any acceptance by the Mortgagee of any security for or guarantees of any of the Finance Obligations hereby secured, or by any failure, neglect or omission on the part of the Mortgagee to realize upon or protect any Finance Obligation hereby secured or any collateral security therefor including the other Finance Documents. The lien hereof shall not in any manner be impaired or affected by any release (except as to the property released), sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, changing, modification or disposition of any of the Finance Obligations or of any of the collateral security therefor, including the other Finance Documents or of any guarantee thereof, and the Mortgagee may at its discretion foreclose,

- 19 -

exercise any power of sale, or exercise any other remedy available to it under any or all of the other Finance Documents without first exercising or enforcing any of its rights and remedies hereunder. Such exercise of the Mortgagee’s rights and remedies under any or all of the other Finance Documents shall not in any manner impair the Finance Obligations or the lien of this Mortgage and any exercise of the rights or remedies of the Mortgagee hereunder shall not impair the lien of any of the other Finance Documents or any of the Mortgagee’s rights and remedies thereunder. The undersigned specifically consents and agrees that the Mortgagee may exercise its rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Finance Documents separately or concurrently and in any order that it may deem appropriate, and the undersigned waives any rights of subrogation. In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of this Mortgage and any other Finance Document, both documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of a conflict that cannot be resolved, the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement shall control and govern irrespective of the provisions of this Mortgage.

Section 5.06 Subrogation. This Mortgage is made with full substitution and subrogation of Mortgagee in and to all covenants and warranties by others heretofore given or made in respect of the Encumbered Property or any part thereof. To the extent that proceeds of the Finance Obligations are used to pay any outstanding lien, charge or prior encumbrance against the Encumbered Property, such proceeds have been or will be advanced by Mortgagee at Mortgagor’s request, and Mortgagee shall be subrogated to any and all rights and liens held by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, charges and prior encumbrances, irrespective of whether those liens, charges or encumbrances are released.

Section 5.07 Mortgagee Powers. Without affecting the liability of any other Person liable for the payment of any obligations herein mentioned and without affecting the lien or charge of this Mortgage upon any portion of the Encumbered Property not then or theretofore released as security for the full amount of all unpaid Finance Obligations, from time to time, regardless of consideration and without notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien, encumbrance, right, title or interest in or to the Encumbered Property, the Mortgagee may in accordance with the express terms and provisions of the Finance Documents (i) release any persons liable for or on any Finance Obligation, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of any Finance Obligation, (iii) modify the interest rate payable on the principal balance of the Finance Obligations, (iv) grant other indulgences, (v) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at any time at the Mortgagee’s option any parcel, portion or all of the Encumbered Property, (vi) take or release any other or additional security for any obligations herein mentioned or (vii) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in relation thereto.

Section 5.08 Enforceability of Mortgage. This Mortgage is deemed to be and may be enforced from time to time as an assignment, chattel mortgage, contract, mortgage, deed to secure debt, deed of trust, financing statement, real estate mortgage or security agreement, and from time to time as any one or more thereof, as is appropriate under applicable laws. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Mortgage or any financing statement in connection herewith shall be sufficient as a financing statement for any and all purposes.

Section 5.09 Amendments. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee. No failure by the Mortgagee to exercise, and no delay by the Mortgagee in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

New York, New York

May 28, 2010

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each of the undersigned, to the extent a borrower from time to time from any other entity listed on the signature page hereto (each, in such capacity, a “Payor”), hereby promises to pay on demand to the order of such other entity listed below (each, in such capacity, a “Payee”), in lawful money of the United States of America, or in such other currency as agreed to by such Payor and such Payee, in immediately available funds, at such location as a Payee shall from time to time designate, the unpaid principal amount of all loans and advances (including trade payables) made by such Payee to such Payor. Each Payor promises also to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of all such loans and advances in like money at said location from the date of such loans and advances until paid at such rate per annum as shall be agreed upon from time to time by such Payor and such Payee.

Reference is made to (i) that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 28, 2010 (as further amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among American Tire Distributors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), each subsidiary of the Company from time to time party thereto, the Lenders from time to time parties thereto, Bank of America, N.A. in its capacity as administrative and collateral agent (together with its successors in such capacity, the “Agent” for various financial institutions (“Lenders”), such Lender, General Electric Capital Corporation, as Co-Collateral Agent, and the other parties thereto, (ii) that certain Senior Secured Notes Indenture, dated as of May 28, 2010 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”) by and among the Company, Holdings, Am-Pac Tire Dist. Inc., a California corporation, each other Guarantor party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, and in its capacity as noteholder collateral agent, (together with its successors in such capacity, the “Noteholder Collateral Agent”), and (iii) that certain Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement dated as of May 28, 2010 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”) among Agent, Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Initial Grantors. Capitalized terms used in this intercompany promissory note (this “Note”) but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Intercreditor Agreement.

This Note shall be pledged by each Payee that is a Loan Party (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (i) to the Noteholder Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Noteholder Lien Secured Parties, pursuant to the Noteholder Lien Documents as collateral security for the full and prompt payment when due of, and the performance of, such Payee’s Noteholder Lien Debt and (ii) to the ABL Agent, for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties, pursuant to the ABL Security Documents as collateral security for the full and prompt payment when due of, and the performance of, such Payee’s ABL Debt Obligations. Each Payee hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default under and as defined in the Noteholder Lien Documents, but subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Noteholder Collateral Agent may, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided pursuant to the Noteholder Lien Documents and otherwise available to it, exercise all rights of the Loan Party Payees with respect to this Note and (ii) after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default under and as defined in the Credit Agreement, but subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the ABL Agent may, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided pursuant to the ABL Security Documents and otherwise available to it, exercise all rights of the Loan Party Payees with respect to this Note.

Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the indebtedness evidenced by this Note owed by any Payor that is a Loan Party to any Payee shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to all Senior Secured Obligations of such Payor to the ABL Secured Parties until the Termination Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and to all Senior Secured Obligations of such Payor to the Noteholder Lien Secured Parties until the Termination Date (as defined in that certain Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company, each Grantor from time to time party thereto and the Noteholder Collateral Agent); provided that each Payor may make payments to the applicable Payee so long as no Event of Default under and as defined in either the Credit Agreement or the Noteholder Lien Documents shall have occurred and be continuing (such Obligations and other indebtedness and obligations in connection with any renewal, refunding, restructuring or refinancing thereof, including interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any proceedings referred to in clause (i) below, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding, being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Senior Indebtedness”):

(i) In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relative to any Payor or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of such Payor (except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement and the Noteholder Lien Documents), whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, then, if an Event of Default (as defined in either the Credit Agreement or the Noteholder Lien Documents) has occurred and is continuing (x) the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be irrevocably paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness (other than Hedging Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement), Treasury Services Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or contingent indemnification obligations) before any Payee is entitled to receive (whether directly or indirectly), or make any demands for, any payment on account of this Note and (y) until the holders of Senior Indebtedness are irrevocably paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness (other than Hedging Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement), Treasury Services Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or contingent indemnification obligations), any payment or distribution to which such Payee would otherwise be entitled (other than debt securities of such Payor that are subordinated, to at least the same extent as this Note, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness then outstanding (such securities being hereinafter referred to as “Restructured Debt Securities”)) shall be made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness;

(ii) if any Event of Default (as under and defined in either the Credit Agreement or the Noteholder Lien Documents) occurs and is continuing, then no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by or on behalf of the Payor or any other Person on its behalf with respect to this Note;

(iii) if any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than Restructured Debt Securities), in respect of this Note shall (despite these subordination provisions) be received by any Payee in violation of clause (i) or (ii) before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been irrevocably paid in full in cash (other than Hedging Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement), Treasury Services Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or contingent indemnification obligations), such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered in accordance with the Security Documents, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement; and

(iv) Each Payor agrees to file all claims against each relevant Payee in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any Senior Indebtedness, and the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the ABL Agent (together, the “Collateral Agents”) shall be entitled to all of such Payor’s rights thereunder. If for any reason a Payor fails to file such claim at least ten (10) days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, such Payor hereby irrevocably appoints each Collateral Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and each

2

Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in such Payor’s name to file such claim or, in such Collateral Agent’s discretion, to assign such claim to and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of such Collateral Agent or its nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the applicable Collateral Agent the full amount payable on the claim in the proceeding, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Payor hereby assigns to each of the Collateral Agents all of such Payor’s rights to any payments or distributions to which such Payor otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than such Payor’s liability hereunder, the Collateral Agents shall pay the excess amount to the party entitled thereto under the Intercreditor Agreement and applicable law. In addition, each Payor hereby irrevocably appoints each Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all of such Payor’s voting rights in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding or any plan for the reorganization of each relevant Payee.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, no present or future holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be prejudiced in its right to enforce the subordination of this Note by any act or failure to act on the part of any Payor or Payee or by any act or failure to act on the part of such holder or any trustee or agent for such holder. Each Payee and each Payor hereby agree that the subordination of this Note is for the benefit of each Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties. Each Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties are obligees under this Note to the same extent as if their names were written herein as such and each Collateral Agent may, on behalf of itself, and the Secured Parties, proceed to enforce the subordination provisions herein.

The indebtedness evidenced by this Note owed by any Payor that is not a Loan Party shall not be subordinated to, and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with, any other obligation of such Payor.

Nothing contained in the subordination provisions set forth above is intended to or will impair, as between each Payor and each Payee, the obligations of such Payor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to such Payee the principal of and interest on this Note as and when due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or will affect the relative rights of such Payee and other creditors of such Payor other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

Each Payee is hereby authorized to record all loans and advances made by it to any Payor (all of which shall be evidenced by this Note), and all repayments or prepayments thereof, in its books and records, such books and records constituting prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein.

Each Payor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note. All payments under this Note shall be made without offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

It is understood that this Note shall not evidence indebtedness in respect of accounts payable incurred in connection with goods sold or services rendered in the ordinary course of business and not in connection with the borrowing of money.

This Note shall be binding upon each Payor and its successors and assigns, and the terms and provisions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of each Payee and their respective successors and assigns, including subsequent holders hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in any Secured Document or in any other promissory note or other instrument, this Note replaces and supersedes any and all promissory notes or other instruments which create or evidence any loans or advances made on, before or after the date hereof by any Payee to any other Subsidiary.

3

From time to time after the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of the Company may become parties hereto (as Payor and/or Payee, as the case may be) by executing a counterpart signature page to this Note (each additional Subsidiary, an “Additional Party”). Upon delivery of such counterpart signature page to the Payees, notice of which is hereby waived by the other Payors, each Additional Party shall be a Payor and/or a Payee, as the case may be, and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Party were an original signatory hereof. Each Payor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Payor or Payee hereunder. This Note shall be fully effective as to any Payor or Payee that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Payor or Payee hereunder.

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

If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.07, then such financial ratio or test (or Total Assets) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.07.

(d) In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees), issues or repays (including by redemption, repurchase, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility or line of credit unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and not replaced), in each case included in the calculations of any financial ratio or test, (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, issuance, repayment or redemption of Indebtedness, in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period (except in the case of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (or similar ratio), in which case such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, issuance, redemption, repurchase, repayment, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness will be given effect, as if the same had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period).

(e) If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest hedging arrangements applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Financial Officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually

64

chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower or applicable Restricted Subsidiary may designate. For purposes of making the computations referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.07 or in any classification under GAAP of any Person, business, assets or operations in respect of which a definitive agreement for the Disposition thereof has been entered into as discontinued operations, no pro forma effect shall be given to any discontinued operations (and the EBITDA attributable to any such Person, business, assets or operations shall not be excluded for any purposes hereunder) until such Disposition shall have been consummated.

(g) Any determination of Total Assets shall be made by reference to the last day of the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the relevant date of determination.

SECTION 1.08 Available Amount Transaction. If more than one action occurs on any given date the permissibility of the taking of which is determined hereunder by reference to the amount of the Available Amount immediately prior to the taking of such action, the permissibility of the taking of each such action shall be determined independently and in no event may any two or more such actions be treated as occurring simultaneously, i.e., each transaction must be permitted under the Available Amount as so calculated.

SECTION 1.09 Currency Generally.

(a) For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 7.01, 7.03 and 7.06 and the definition of “Permitted Investments” with respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred (so long as such Indebtedness or Investment, at the time incurred, made or acquired, was permitted hereunder).

(b) For purposes of determining the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Senior Net Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, the amount of Indebtedness shall reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Hedging Obligations permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar equivalent of such Indebtedness.

SECTION 1.10 Limited Condition Acquisitions.

(a) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date into which the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has exercised its option under the first sentence of this clause (a), and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition were entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder.

65

(b) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of:

(i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Senior Net Leverage Ratio; or

(ii) testing baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Total Assets);

in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date on which the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including (i) any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ended prior to the LCA Test Date for which consolidated financial statements of the Borrower are available, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, Dispositions, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

ARTICLE II

The Commitments and Borrowings

SECTION 2.01 Term Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Lender severally agrees to make to the Borrower on the Closing Date one or more Initial Term Loans denominated in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Term Lender’s Term B Commitment on the Closing Date. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. The Initial Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

SECTION 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Each Term Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (provided that the notice in respect of the Initial Term Loans or in connection with any Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition permitted under this Agreement, may be conditioned on the closing of the Acquisition or such Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition, as applicable), which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York time, (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided, that the notice referred to in subclause (i) above may be delivered no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date in the case of the Initial Term Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Except as provided in Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14, each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar

66

Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14, each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Term Borrowing, a conversion of Term Loans from one Type to the other or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Class and Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vi) wire instructions of the account(s) to which funds are to be disbursed. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan to be made in a Committed Loan Notice, then the applicable Loans shall be made as Eurodollar Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month. If the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made or continued as the same Type of Loan, which if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall have a one-month Interest Period. Any such automatic continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or continuation of Loans described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than, in the case of Borrowing on the Closing Date, 10:00 a.m., New York time, and otherwise 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.01 for the Borrowing on the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account(s) of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided by the Borrower to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan, unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Facility Lenders under the applicable Facility may require by notice to the Borrower that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time when Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that after the establishment of any new Class of Loans pursuant to an Incremental Amendment, a Refinancing Amendment, an Extension Amendment or an amendment in respect of Replacement Loans, the number of Interest Periods otherwise permitted by this Section 2.02(e) shall increase by three (3) Interest Periods for each applicable Class so established.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

67

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing, or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(g) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.03 Prepayments.

(a) Optional.

(i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Class or Classes of Term Loans in whole or in part without premium (except as set forth in Section 2.15) or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York time, (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any partial prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such prepayment. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. In the case of each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(a), the Borrower may in its sole discretion select the Borrowing or Borrowings (and the order of maturity of principal payments) to be repaid, and such payment shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement.

(ii) [Reserved].

(iii) Voluntary prepayments of any Class of Term Loans permitted hereunder shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of principal thereof pursuant to Section 2.05 (or pursuant to the applicable Extension Amendment, Incremental Amendment, Refinancing Amendment, amendment in respect of any Replacement Loans or otherwise) in a manner determined at the discretion of the Borrower and specified in the notice of prepayment (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity). Each prepayment in respect of any Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03 may be applied to

68

any Class of Term Loans as directed by the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may (i) prepay Term Loans of an Existing Term Loan Class pursuant to this Section 2.03 without any requirement to prepay Extended Term Loans that were converted or exchanged from such Existing Term Loan Class and (ii) prepay Extended Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03 without any requirement to prepay Term Loans of an Existing Term Loan Class that were converted or exchanged for such Extended Term Loans. In the event that the Borrower does not specify the order in which to apply prepayments to reduce scheduled installments of principal or as between Classes of Term Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such proceeds be applied to reduce the scheduled installments of principal in direct order of maturity on a pro-rata basis among Term Loan Classes.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Borrower Party may (i) purchase outstanding Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis through open market purchases or (ii) prepay the outstanding Term Loans, which shall, in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, be automatically and permanently canceled immediately upon acquisition by the Borrower Parties, and in the case of this clause (ii) only, which shall be prepaid on the following basis:

(A) The Borrower Party shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Loans at a discount to par pursuant to a Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment, Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers or Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers (any such prepayment, the “Discounted Term Loan Prepayment”), in each case made in accordance with this Section 2.03(a)(iv); provided that no Borrower Party shall initiate any action under this Section 2.03(a)(iv) in order to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment unless (I) at least ten (10) Business Days shall have passed since the consummation of the most recent Discounted Term Loan Prepayment as a result of a prepayment made by a Borrower Party on the applicable Discounted Prepayment Effective Date; or (II) at least three (3) Business Days shall have passed since the date the Borrower Party was notified that no Term Lender was willing to accept any prepayment of any Term Loan at the Specified Discount, within the Discount Range or at any discount to par value, as applicable, or in the case of Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, the date of the Borrower Party’s election not to accept any Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(B) (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower Party may from time to time offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Specified Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the Borrower Party, to (x) each Term Lender and/or (y) each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such offer shall specify the aggregate principal amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”) with respect to each applicable Class, the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the specific percentage discount to par (the “Specified Discount”) of such Term Loans to be prepaid (it being understood that different Specified Discounts and/or Specified Discount Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.03(a)(iv)(B)), (III) the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount Prepayment Response to be completed and returned by each such Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date”).

(2) Each Term Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its applicable then outstanding Term Loans at the

69

Specified Discount and, if so (such accepting Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount and the Classes of such Lender’s Term Loans to be prepaid at such offered discount. Each acceptance of a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by a Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Term Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment Response is not received by the Auction Agent by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept the applicable Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment.

(3) If there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the relevant Borrower Party will make a prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this paragraph (B) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding amount and Classes of Term Loans specified in such Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to subsection (2) above; provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three (3) Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the relevant Borrower Party of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, and the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date and (III) each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the principal amount, Class and Type of Term Loans of such Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower Party and such Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower Party shall be due and payable by such Borrower Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).

(C) (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower Party may from time to time solicit Discount Range Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of such Borrower Party, to (x) each Term Lender and/or (y) each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans (the “Discount Range Prepayment Amount”), the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to par (the “Discount Range”) of the principal amount of such Term Loans with respect to each relevant Class of Term Loans willing to be prepaid by such Borrower Party (it being understood that different Discount Ranges and/or Discount Range Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.03(a)(iv)(C)), (III) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower Party shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (the “Discount Range Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and shall specify a discount to par within the Discount

70

Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes and the maximum aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Lender’s Term Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Submitted Discount. Any Term Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range.

(2) The Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response Date and shall determine (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Term Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this subsection (C). The relevant Borrower Party agrees to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant to the following subsection (3)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Participating Lender”).

(3) If there is at least one Participating Lender, the relevant Borrower Party will prepay the respective outstanding Term Loans of each Participating Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loans for those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the relevant Borrower Party of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount and Classes of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the relevant Borrower Party and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower Party shall be due and payable by such Borrower Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).

(D) (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower Party may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction

71

Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of such Borrower Party, to (x) each Term Lender and/or (y) each Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate amount of the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”) and the Class or Classes of Term Loans the applicable Borrower Party is willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.03(a)(iv)(D)), (III) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower Party shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Term Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount. Any Term Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount.

(2) The Auction Agent shall promptly provide the relevant Borrower Party with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. Such Borrower Party shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Term Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the Borrower Party (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Borrower Party elects to accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no event later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by such Borrower Party from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (2) (the “Acceptance Date”), the Borrower Party shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Auction Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrower Party by the Acceptance Date, such Borrower Party shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(3) Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the relevant Borrower Party at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 2.03(a)(iv)(D). If the Borrower Party elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower Party agrees to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro-rata reduction pursuant to

the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”). The Borrower Party will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (D) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (I) the relevant Borrower Party of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the Classes to be prepaid to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to such Borrower Party and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to such Borrower Party shall be due and payable by such Borrower Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).

(E) In connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrower Parties and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees and expenses from a Borrower Party in connection therewith.

(F) If any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with subsections (B) through (D) above, a Borrower Party shall prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The relevant Borrower Party shall make such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 p.m., New York time, on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant Class(es) of Loans on a pro rata basis across such installments. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(a)(iv) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, and shall be applied to the relevant Term Loans of such Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement. The aggregate principal amount of the Classes and installments of the relevant Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Classes of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment. In connection with each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.03(a)(iv), the relevant Borrower Party shall make a customary representation to the assigning or assignee Term Lenders, as applicable, that it does not possess material non-public information (or material information of the type that would not be public if the Borrower or any Parent Entity were a publicly-reporting company) with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that either (1) has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders that have elected not to receive such information) or (2) if not disclosed to the Term Lenders, would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on, or otherwise be material to (A) a Term Lender’s decision to participate in any

73

such Discounted Term Loan Prepayment or (B) the market price of such Term Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, no such representation will be required in the case of open market purchases by Affiliated Lenders, which may possess such material non-public information), or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made.

(G) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent with the provisions in this Section 2.03(a)(iv), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower.

(H) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.03(a)(iv), each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business Day.

(I) Each of the Borrower Parties and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section 2.03(a)(iv) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.03(a)(iv) as well as activities of the Auction Agent.

(J) The Borrower Party shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is revoked pursuant to the preceding clauses, any failure by such Borrower Party to make any prepayment to a Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.03(a)(iv) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01 or otherwise).

(b) Mandatory.

(i) Within five (5) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) (commencing with financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014; provided that the Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 shall be calculated solely with respect to each full fiscal quarter therein occurring after the Closing Date) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a), the Borrower shall, subject to clauses (b)(v) and (vi) of this Section 2.03, prepay, or cause to be prepaid, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to (A) 50% (such percentage as it may be reduced as described below, the “ECF Percentage”) of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the fiscal year (or the relevant portion thereof in the case of the 2013 fiscal year) covered by such financial statements minus (B) the sum of all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(i) or 2.03(a)(iv) (in an amount, in the case of prepayments pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iv), equal to the discounted amount actually paid in respect of the principal amount of such Term Loans and only to the extent that such Loans have been cancelled) and voluntary prepayments of the Senior Notes and (ii) all voluntary prepayments of loans under the ABL Credit Agreement and any other revolving facility that is secured, in whole or in part (in each case, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction in the corresponding revolving commitments), in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), made during such fiscal year (without duplication of any prepayments in such fiscal year that reduced the amount of Excess Cash Flow required to be repaid pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)(i) for any prior fiscal year) or after such fiscal year-end and prior to the

74

time such prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)(i) is due and to the extent such prepayments are not funded with Excluded Proceeds; provided that (x) the ECF Percentage shall be 25% if the Secured Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than or equal to 3.25 to 1.00 and greater than 2.75 to 1.00 and (y) the ECF Percentage shall be 0% if the Secured Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00.

(ii) (A) If (x) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any property or assets (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05(a), (b), (c), (d) (to the extent constituting a Disposition to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor), (e), (g), (h), (i), (k), (l), (m), (n), (o), (p), (q), (r), (s) or (t) or the Disposition of the Commercial and Retread Business) or (y) any Casualty Event occurs, which results in the realization or receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the date of the realization or receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds, subject to clause (B) of this Section 2.03(b)(ii) and clauses (b)(v) and (vi) of this Section 2.03, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds realized or received; provided, that if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Borrower (or any Restricted Subsidiary) are required to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes or Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt or any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness secured on an equal priority basis with the Obligations (or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof that is secured on an equal priority basis with the Obligations) pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the net proceeds of such Disposition or Casualty Event (such Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt and Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness secured on an equal priority basis with the Obligations (or such Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any of the foregoing that is secured on an equal priority basis with the Obligations) required to be offered to be so repurchased, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the Borrower (or any Restricted Subsidiary) may apply such Net Cash Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time; provided that the portion of such net proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such net proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such net proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the repurchase or prepayment of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)(ii)(A) shall be reduced accordingly; provided, further, that to the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased or prepaid, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, further, that no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)(ii)(A) with respect to such portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that the Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest (or entered into a binding commitment to reinvest) in accordance with Section 2.03(b)(ii)(B).

(B) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition (other than any Disposition specifically excluded from the application of Section 2.03(b)(ii)(A)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for their business within (x) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve (12) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (1) twelve (12) months following receipt thereof and (2) one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of such legally binding commitment; provided, that if any Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, and subject to clauses (v) and (vi) of this Section 2.03(b), an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.03.

75

(iii) If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness (A) not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03 or (B) that constitutes Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness or Other Term Loans, the Borrower shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of Class or Classes being refinanced (in each case, as directed by the Borrower) equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(iv) (A) Except as otherwise set forth in any Refinancing Amendment, Extension Amendment or Incremental Amendment, each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 2.03(b)(i), (ii) and (iii)(A) shall be allocated to the Classes of Term Loans outstanding based upon the then outstanding principal amounts of the respective Classes of Term Loans, pro rata, based upon the applicable remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of each such Class of Term Loans, shall be applied pro rata to Term Lenders within each Class, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Term Lender under each such Class of Term Loans and shall be applied to reduce such remaining scheduled installments of principal within each such Class in direct order of maturity; provided that with respect to the allocation of such prepayments under this clause (A) between an Existing Term Loan Class and Extended Term Loans of the same Term Loan Extension Series, the Borrower may allocate such prepayments as the Borrower may specify, subject to the limitation that the Borrower shall not allocate to Extended Term Loans of any Term Loan Extension Series any such mandatory prepayment unless such prepayment under this clause (A) is accompanied by at least a pro rata prepayment, based upon the applicable remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect thereof, of the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class, if any, from which such Extended Term Loans were converted or exchanged (or such Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class have otherwise been repaid in full) and (B) each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 2.03(b)(iii)(B) shall be allocated to any Class or Classes of Term Loans outstanding as directed by the Borrower (subject to the requirement that the proceeds shall be applied to prepay or repay the applicable Refinanced Indebtedness), shall be applied pro rata to Term Lenders within each such Class, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Term Lender under each such Class or Classes of Term Loans and shall be applied to reduce such remaining scheduled installments of principal within each such Class or Classes in direct order of maturity.

(v) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.03(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the aggregate amount of such prepayment to be made by the Borrower. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement. Each Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share, or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement, of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.03(b) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, two (2) Business Days after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Subject to the terms of the ABL Credit Documents, any Declined Proceeds remaining shall be retained by the Borrower.

(vi) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.03(b), (A) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(ii) (a “Foreign Disposition”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Casualty Event”), or Excess Cash Flow are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of

76

such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.03(b) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and an amount equal to such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) to the extent otherwise provided herein and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition, any Foreign Casualty Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax cost consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary.

(c) Interest, Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.03 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05.

Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.03, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.03 prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.03 in respect of any such Eurodollar Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in their sole discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder together with accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.03. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.03. Such deposit shall be deemed to be a prepayment of such Loans by the Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.04 Termination of Commitments. The Term B Commitment of each Term Lender on the Closing Date shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Lender’s Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01.

SECTION 2.05 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Appropriate Lenders (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last Business Day of June, 2014, an aggregate principal amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03) and (ii) on the Maturity Date for the Initial Term Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date.

SECTION 2.06 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

77

(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), the Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

SECTION 2.07 Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Agent).

SECTION 2.08 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.10(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of any Restricted Subsidiary or for any other reason, the Borrower, Holdings or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as calculated by the Borrower or Holdings as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of such Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher Applicable Rate for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders on demand by the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under Article VIII.

SECTION 2.09 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The Borrowings extended by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Borrowings extended by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent, as set forth in the Register, in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Term Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Term Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

78

(b) In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Sections 2.09(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.09(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 2.10 Payments Generally.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office for payment and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Appropriate Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day (but the Administrative Agent may extend such deadline for purposes of computing interest and fees (but not beyond the end of such day) in its sole discretion whether or not such payments are in process).

(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date, or in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing, any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder (in the case of the Borrower, for the account of any Lender hereunder or, in the case of the Lenders, for the account of the Borrower), that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then:

(i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; and

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent

79

may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount, or cause such amount to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Section 4.01 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan.

(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03 (or otherwise expressly set forth herein). If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the sum of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

SECTION 2.11 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on account of the Loans made by it (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans of such Class made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of any principal of or interest on such Loans of such Class pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permitted hereunder. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be

80

conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.11 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

SECTION 2.12 Incremental Facilities.

(a) Incremental Loan Request. The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (an “Incremental Loan Request”), request one or more new commitments which may be of the same Class as any outstanding Term Loans (a “Term Loan Increase”) or a new Class of term loans (collectively with any Term Loan Increase, the “Incremental Term Commitments”), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders. Each Incremental Loan Request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Commitments.

(b) Incremental Term Loans. Any Incremental Term Loans effected through the establishment of one or more new term loans made on an Incremental Facility Closing Date (other than a Term Loan Increase) shall be designated a separate Class of Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. On any Incremental Facility Closing Date on which any Incremental Term Commitments of any Class are effected (including through any Term Loan Increase), subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.12, (i) each Incremental Term Lender of such Class shall make a Loan to the Borrower (an “Incremental Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Commitment of such Class and (ii) each Incremental Term Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Term Commitment of such Class and the Incremental Term Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incremental Term Loans may have identical terms to any of the Term Loans and be treated as the same Class as any of such Term Loans.

(c) Incremental Term Lenders. Incremental Term Loans may be made by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental Term Commitment (or Incremental Term Loan), nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Incremental Term Commitment (or Incremental Term Loan)) or by any Additional Lender (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such Loan or Commitment, an “Incremental Term Lender”); provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 10.07(b) for an assignment of Loans to such Additional Lender and (ii) with respect to Incremental Term Commitments, any Affiliated Lender providing an Incremental Term Commitment shall be subject to the same restrictions set forth in Section 10.07(h) as they would otherwise be subject to with respect to any purchase by or assignment to such Affiliated Lender of Term Loans.

(d) Effectiveness of Incremental Amendment. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (the “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the following conditions:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist after giving effect to such Incremental Term Commitments; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Amendment the primary purpose of which is to finance an acquisition permitted by this Agreement, the requirement pursuant to this clause (d)(i) shall be that no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or (f) shall exist after giving effect to such Incremental Term Commitments (in the case of an acquisition which is a Limited Condition Acquisition, such determination to be subject to Section 1.10);

(ii) each Incremental Term Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth clause (iii) of this Section 2.12(d)); and

81

(iii) the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Loans together with the aggregate principal amount of Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt, calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to any such incurrence, shall not result in a Secured Net Leverage Ratio for the Test Period most recently ended in excess of 4.00 to 1.00 (calculating the Secured Net Leverage Ratio without netting the cash proceeds from such Incremental Term Loans) (the “Available Incremental Amount”).

(e) Required Terms. The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Commitments of any Class and any Term Loan Increase shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders providing such Incremental Term Commitments, and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not identical to the Term Loans existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date, shall be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent; provided that the documentation governing any Incremental Term Loans may include any Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant so long as the Administrative Agent shall have been given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant for the benefit of each Facility; provided, further, that in the case of a Term Loan Increase, the terms, provisions and documentation of such Term Loan Increase shall be identical (other than with respect to upfront fees, OID or similar fees, it being understood that, if required to consummate such Term Loan Increase transaction, the interest rate margins and rate floors may be increased and additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders providing the Term Loan Increase) to the applicable Term Loans being increased, in each case, as existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date. In any event:

(i) the Incremental Term Loans:

(A) shall rank equal in priority in right of payment and of security with the Initial Term Loans,

(B) shall not mature earlier than the Original Term Loan Maturity Date,

(C) shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans on the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans (without giving effect to any amortization or prepayment of Term Loans prior to the time of such incurrence),

(D) shall have an Applicable Rate and, subject to clauses (e)(i)(B) and (e)(i)(C) above and clause (e)(ii) below, amortization determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders, and

(E) may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments of Term Loans under Section 2.03(b)(i), (ii) or (iii)(A), as specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment.

(ii) the amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Term Loans and the All-In Yield applicable to the Incremental Term Loans of each Class shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Amendment; provided, however, that with respect to any Loans made under Incremental Term Commitments within twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental Term Loans shall not be greater than the applicable All-In Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to Initial Term Loans plus 50 basis points per annum unless the interest rate (together with, as provided in the proviso below, the Eurodollar Rate floor) with respect to the Initial Term Loans is increased so as to cause the then applicable All-In Yield under this Agreement on the Initial Term Loans to equal the All-In Yield then applicable to the Incremental Term Loans minus 50 basis points; provided that any increase in All-In Yield on the Initial Term Loans due to the application of a Eurodollar Rate floor on any Incremental Term Loan shall be effected solely through an increase in (or implementation of, as applicable) the Eurodollar Rate floor applicable to such Loans.

82

(f) Incremental Amendment. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans shall become Commitments, under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Term Lender providing such Incremental Term Commitments and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Loan Party, Agent or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.12. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise required by the Incremental Term Lenders, the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall not be subject to the bring-down of the representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document on and as of the date of such Borrowing of Incremental Term Loans; provided, however, that with respect to any Incremental Term Loans to finance an acquisition permitted by this Agreement, the condition to the availability or borrowing of such Incremental Term Loans that the Specified Representations as they relate to the target of such acquisition (conformed as necessary for such acquisition) be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of such Borrowing, may not be waived without the consent of the Required Lenders. In connection with any Incremental Amendment, the Borrower shall, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver customary reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Incremental Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Commitments or Incremental Term Loans unless it so agrees.

(g) This Section 2.12 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.10, 2.11 or 10.01 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.12 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, no Incremental Amendment shall effect any amendments that would require the consent of each affected Lender or all Lenders pursuant to the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 10.01, unless each such Lender has, or all such Lenders have, as the case may, given its or their consent to such amendment.

SECTION 2.13 Refinancing Amendments.

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Other Term Loans to refinance all or any portion of the applicable Class or Classes of Loans then outstanding under this Agreement which will be made pursuant to Other Term Loan Commitments, pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Other Term Loans (i) may rank equal in priority in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (ii)(A) will have interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and prepayment terms and premiums as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Other Term Loans in addition to any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, (iii) may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment terms and premiums) as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (iv) will have a final maturity date no earlier than, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity equal to or greater than, the Loans being refinanced (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Loans prior to the time of such refinancing) and (v) will have such other terms and conditions (other than as provided in foregoing clauses (ii) through (iv)) that are identical in all material respects to, or (taken as a whole) are no more restrictive on the Borrower than those applicable to the Loans being refinanced (provided that such terms shall not be deemed to be “more restrictive” solely as a result of the inclusion in the documentation governing such Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans of a Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant so long as the Administrative Agent shall be given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant for the benefit of each Facility); provided, further, that the terms and conditions applicable to such Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date in respect of Term Loans that is in effect immediately prior to the date in respect of the Class of Loans being refinanced that is in effect on the date such Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans are incurred or obtained. Any Other Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a

83

less than pro rata basis (but, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments under Section 2.03(b)(i), (ii) or (iii)(A), as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment. In connection with any Refinancing Amendment, the Borrower shall, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver customary reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Other Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents.

(b) Each Class of Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans incurred under this Section 2.13 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Other Term Loans and/or Other Term Loan Commitments as Loans and Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.13.

(c) This Section 2.13 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.10, 2.11 or 10.01 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.13 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, no Refinancing Amendment shall effect any amendments that would require the consent of each affected Lender or all Lenders pursuant to the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 10.01, unless each such Lender has, or all such Lenders have, as the case may be, given its or their consent to such amendment. No Lender shall be under any obligation to provide any Other Term Loan Commitment unless such Lender executes a Refinancing Amendment.

SECTION 2.14 Extensions of Loans.

(a) Extension of Term Loans. The Borrower, at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (each, an “Existing Term Loan Class”) be converted or exchanged to extend the scheduled Maturity Date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so extended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14. Prior to entering into any Extension Amendment with respect to any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Class, with such request offered equally to all such Lenders of such Existing Term Loan Class) (each, a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be identical in all material respects to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class from which they are to be extended except that (i) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments, if any, of all or a portion of any principal amount of such Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization, if any, of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in the Extension Amendment, the Incremental Amendment, the Refinancing Amendment or any other amendment, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans were extended, in each case as more particularly set forth in Section 2.14(b) below), (ii)(A) the interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and voluntary prepayment terms and premiums with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than those for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (iii) the Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment terms and premiums) as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (iv) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments under Section 2.03(b)(i), (ii) or (iii)(A), in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request, and (v) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants

84

and terms that apply to any period after the Latest Maturity Date in respect of Term Loans that is in effect immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans extended pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and shall constitute a separate Class of Loans from the Existing Term Loan Class from which they were extended; provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Term Loan Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Term Loan Class.

(b) Extension Request. The Borrower shall provide the applicable Term Loan Extension Request to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Class are requested to respond. Any Lender holding a Term Loan under an Existing Term Loan Class (each, an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans of an Existing Term Loan Class or Existing Term Loan Classes, as applicable, subject to such Term Loan Extension Request converted or exchanged into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Term Loan Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans which it has elected to convert or exchange into Extended Term Loans. In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Term Loan Extension Request, Term Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be converted or exchanged into Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis (subject to such rounding requirements as may be established by the Administrative Agent) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans included in each such Extension Election or as may be otherwise agreed to in the applicable Extension Amendment.

(c) Extension Amendment. Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, a “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.14(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.01, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Term Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans established thereby, as the case may be) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Term Lenders. Each request for a Term Loan Extension Series of Extended Term Loans proposed to be incurred under this Section 2.14 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion) (it being understood that the actual principal amount thereof provided by the applicable Lenders may be lower than such minimum amount). In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.14(a), each of the parties hereto agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent necessary to (i) in respect of each Extension Amendment in respect of Extended Term Loans, amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.05 or the applicable Incremental Amendment, Extension Amendment, Refinancing Amendment or other amendment, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which the Extended Term Loans were exchanged to reduce each scheduled repayment amount for the Existing Term Loan Class in the same proportion as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class is to be reduced pursuant to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any repayment amount payable with respect to any individual Term Loan of such Existing Term Loan Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof); (ii) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto; (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.03 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto and (iv) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14, and the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment. In connection with any Extension Amendment, the Borrower shall, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver customary reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Extended Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents.

85

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Term Loan Class and is converted or exchanged to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.14, in the case of the existing Term Loans of each Extending Term Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such existing Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted or exchanged by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans shall be established as a separate Class of Loans (together with any other Extended Term Loans so established on such date), except as otherwise provided under Section 2.14(a).

(e) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error in the receipt and processing of an Extension Election timely submitted by such Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Amendment”) within 15 days following the effective date of such Extension Amendment, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension Amendment shall (i) provide for the conversion or exchange and extension of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class, in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended Term Loans of the applicable Term Loan Extension Series into which such other Term Loans were initially converted or exchanged, as the case may be, in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Loans or Commitments to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension Amendment, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Lender may agree, and (iii) effect such other amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.14(c).

(f) No conversion or exchange of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.14 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

(g) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.10, 2.11 or 10.01 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.14 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, no Extension Amendment shall effect any amendments that would require the consent of each affected Lender or all Lenders pursuant to the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 10.01, unless each such Lender has, or all such Lenders have, as the case may be, given its or their consent to such amendment.

SECTION 2.15 Prepayment Premium.

In the event that, on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower make any prepayment of Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(i) or 2.03(b)(iii), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Lender, a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans being prepaid.

ARTICLE III

Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality

SECTION 3.01 Taxes.

(a) Except as required by applicable Law, any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes.

(b) If any Loan Party or any other applicable withholding agent is required by applicable Law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Taxes from any sum paid or payable by any Loan

86

Party to any Lender or Agent under any of the Loan Documents: (i) the applicable Loan Party shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as such Loan Party becomes aware of it; (ii) the applicable Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent shall make such deduction or withholding and pay to the relevant Governmental Authority any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Loan Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Lender or Agent) on behalf of and in the name of the Lender or Agent (as applicable); (iii) if the Tax in question is a Non-Excluded Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable to such Lender or Agent (as applicable) shall be increased by such Loan Party to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of any required deduction or withholding for Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including any deductions or withholdings for Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to any payments required to be made under this Section 3.01), the Lender or the Agent (as applicable), receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required or made; and (iv) within thirty days after paying any sum from which it is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, the Borrower making such payments shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction or withholding and of the remittance thereof to the relevant Governmental Authority.

(c) Status of Lender. Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under any Loan Document. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific documentation required below in this Section 3.01(c)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent of its inability to do so.

Without limiting the foregoing:

(i) Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(ii) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Code,

(B) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit F (any such certificate, a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms),

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI,

87

W-8BEN, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 3.01(c) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner), or

(E) two properly completed and duly signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, United States federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (c), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(d) In addition to the payments by a Loan Party required by Section 3.01(b), the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(e) The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify a Lender or Agent (each a “Tax Indemnitee”), within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes paid or payable by such Tax Indemnitee on or attributable to any payment under or with respect to any Loan Document, and any Other Taxes payable by such Tax Indemnitee (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and delivered by the Tax Indemnitee or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Tax Indemnitee, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) If and to the extent that a Tax Indemnitee, in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith), determines that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes in respect of which it has received additional payments under this Section 3.01, then such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to the relevant Loan Party the amount of such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Tax Indemnitee (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Tax Indemnitee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Tax Indemnitee if the Tax Indemnitee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Tax Indemnitee be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Tax Indemnitee in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Tax Indemnitee would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require a Tax Indemnitee to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

88

(g) The agreements in this Section 3.01 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on written notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans and shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate with respect to any Base Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

SECTION 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders reasonably determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

SECTION 3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(d));

89

(ii) subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and any Excluded Taxes); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender that is not otherwise accounted for in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” or this clause (a);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such amounts shall only be payable by the Borrower to the applicable Lender under this Section 3.04(a) so long as it is such Lender’s general policy or practice to demand compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other financing agreements.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by it to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower will pay to such Lender additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that such amounts shall only be payable by the Borrower to the applicable Lender under this Section 3.04(b) so long as it is such Lender’s general policy or practice to demand compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other financing agreements.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

90

SECTION 3.05 Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.07;

including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

SECTION 3.06 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect.

(b) Suspension of Lender Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another Interest Period, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

(c) Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans. If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans of a given Class held by the Lenders of such Class holding Eurodollar Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Sections 3.01 or 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 3.01 or 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event giving rise to

91

such claim and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 3.07 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 or ceases to make Eurodollar Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, (iii) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or (iv) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to clause (iii) above, all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver, or amendment, as applicable) and the related Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees that shall assume such obligations (any of which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.07(b)(iv);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the applicable outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05 and any “prepayment premium” pursuant to Section 2.15 that would otherwise be owed in connection therewith) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) such Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to all, or a portion, as applicable, of such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans, and (ii) deliver any Term Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent (or a lost or destroyed note indemnity in lieu thereof); provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver such Term Notes shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and the Term Notes shall be deemed to be canceled upon such failure;

(d) the Eligible Assignee shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification and confidentiality provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender;

(e) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(f) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(g) the Lender that acts as Administrative Agent cannot be replaced in its capacity as Administrative Agent other than in accordance with Section 9.06,

or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date (including any “prepayment premium” pursuant to Section 2.15 that would otherwise be owed in connection therewith); provided that in the case of any such termination of the Commitment of a Non-Consenting Lender such termination shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of the applicable consent, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents and such termination shall, with respect to clause (iii) above, be in respect of all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver and amendment.

92

In the event that (i) any of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of each Lender, all affected Lenders or all the Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to a certain Class or Classes of the Loans/Commitments and (iii) the Required Lenders or Required Facility Lenders, as applicable, have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 3.08 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 5.02 Authorization; Enforceability.

The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Loan Parties of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, the borrowing of Term Loans and the use of the proceeds thereof are, to the extent

95

applicable, within each applicable Loan Party’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational and, if required, equityholder action of such Loan Party. Each Loan Document to which each Loan Party is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.

SECTION 5.03 Governmental Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Loan Parties of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, the borrowing of Loans and the use of the proceeds thereof (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) for filings necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, (b) will not violate any Law applicable to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (c) will not contravene the terms of any of such Person’s Organizational Documents, (d) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and (e) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, the Senior Notes Documents and the ABL Credit Documents; except, in each case other than with respect to the creation of Liens, to the extent that any such violation, default or right, or any failure to obtain such consent or approval or to take any such action, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.04 Insurance. All insurance required by Section 6.07 is in full force and effect and all premiums in respect of such insurance have been duly paid. The Borrower believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is adequate and is in accordance with normal industry practice.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable as of the date thereof, and presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of the Borrower its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the Pro Forma Balance Sheet Date, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date.

(b) Since December 31, 2013, there has been no event or circumstance, either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.06 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any Loan Documents.

SECTION 5.08 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Loan Party and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has good and insurable fee simple title to, or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property interests in, all its real properties and has good and marketable title to its personal property and assets, in each case, except for defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes and except where the failure to have such title would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens (i) permitted by Section 7.01 or (ii) arising by operation of law (which Liens, in the case of this clause (ii) do not materially interfere with the ability of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to carry on its business as now conducted or to utilize the affected properties or assets for their intended purposes).

SECTION 5.09 Environmental Matters. Except for matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (i) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability and (ii) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries (1) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law or (2) has become subject to any Environmental Liability.

Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.11 ERISA Compliance. No ERISA Event has occurred in the five year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made and is continuing or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under all Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plans, in the aggregate.

SECTION 5.12 Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, Schedule 5.12 sets forth (a) a correct and complete list of the name and relationship to the Borrower of each and all of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, (b) a true and complete listing of each class of the Borrower’s and each Subsidiary’s authorized Equity Interests, of which all of such issued shares are validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and owned beneficially and of record by the Persons identified on Schedule 5.12, and (c) the type of entity of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Subsidiaries owned by any Loan Party have

97

been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.01). As of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding purchase options, warrants, subscription rights, agreements to issue or sell, convertible interests or powers of attorney granted by the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower relating to Equity Interests of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

SECTION 5.13 Federal Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act.

(a) On the Closing Date, none of the Collateral is Margin Stock. No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X.

(b) No Loan Party is an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECTION 5.14 Disclosure.

(a) All written information (other than the Projections, the pro forma financial statements and estimates and information of a general economic or general industry nature) concerning the Borrower, the Transactions and any other transactions contemplated hereby prepared by or on behalf of the foregoing or their representatives and made available to any Lender or the Agent in connection with the Transactions on or before the date hereof (the “Information”), when taken as a whole, as of the date such Information was furnished to the Lenders and as of the Closing Date, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact as of any such date or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made (giving effect to all supplements and updates).

SECTION 5.15 Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc. Each Loan Party owns or has the lawful right to use all material intellectual property used in the conduct of its business (collectively, “IP Rights”), without conflict with any intellectual property rights of others, except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there is no pending or, to any Borrower’s knowledge, threatened claim that any Loan Party’s ownership, use, marketing, sale or distribution of any inventory or other product violates another Person’s intellectual property rights.

SECTION 5.16 Solvency. As of the Closing Date, and immediately after giving effect to the Transactions: (i) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.

98

The Obligations for principal, interest (including, to the extent legally permitted, all interest accrued thereon after the commencement of any insolvency or liquidation proceeding at the rate, including any applicable post-default rate, specified in the applicable agreement), premium (if any), fees, indemnifications, reimbursements, expenses, damages and other liabilities payable under the Loan Documents constitute “Senior Indebtedness” under and as defined in the Senior Notes Documents.

SECTION 5.18 USA Patriot Act and OFAC. To the extent applicable, none of the Borrower or any other Loan Party will use the proceeds of the Term Loans or otherwise make available such proceeds to any person for use in any manner that will result in a violation of (i) the USA PATRIOT Act and (ii) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 C.F.R. Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any director, officer or employee of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, is subject as of the Closing Date to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”) or a person on the list of “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons.” The proceeds of the Term Loans will not, to the knowledge of the Borrower, be made available to any Person for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

SECTION 5.19 Collateral Documents. The provisions of the Collateral Documents are effective to create legal and valid Liens on the applicable Collateral described therein in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties (in each case, to the extent such matter is governed by the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction therein) and upon the taking of all actions described in the Loan Documents (but subject to the limitations set forth therein), including, without limitation, the filing of UCC financing statements covering the appropriate Collateral in the jurisdiction of organization of each Loan Party and the filings of short form agreements or other applicable documents or notices in respect of registered and applied for United States federal intellectual property owned by each Loan Party, such Liens will constitute perfected Liens on the Collateral, securing the applicable Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Loan Party, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except in the case of (a) Permitted Liens and other Liens permitted under Section 7.01, to the extent any such Permitted Liens or such Liens would have priority over the Liens in favor of the Agent pursuant to any applicable law or otherwise, (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any certificate of title) to the extent the Agent has not obtained or does not maintain possession of such Collateral and (c) subject to and as provided for under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Liens granted on the Collateral under the Senior Notes Documents and the ABL Credit Documents.

The Borrower hereby agree that (w) at the Administrative Agent’s request, all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be

101

deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.08); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Side Information”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall treat the Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Side Information.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be under no obligation to mark the Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.”

SECTION 6.03 Notices. Promptly after a Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge thereof, notify the Administrative Agent:

(a) of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default; and

(b) of (i) the filing or commencement of, or any written threat or notice of intention of any person to file or commence, any action, suit or proceeding, whether at law or in equity or by or before any Governmental Authority or in arbitration, against any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries as to which an adverse determination is reasonably probable and which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) the occurrence of any ERISA Event that, together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred and are continuing, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Each notice pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be accompanied by a written statement of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (x) that such notice is being delivered pursuant to Section 6.03(a) or (b) (as applicable) and (y) setting forth details of the occurrence referred to therein and stating what action the Borrower has taken and propose to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 6.04 Payment of Obligations. Timely pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy, as the same shall become due and payable, all of its obligations and liabilities in respect of Taxes imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or in respect of its property, except, in each case, to the extent (i) any such Tax is being contested in good faith and by appropriate actions for which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP or (ii) the failure to pay or discharge the same would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 6.05 Preservation of Existence, Etc.

(b) take all reasonable action to obtain, preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its rights, licenses, permits, privileges, franchises, and IP Rights material to the conduct of its business,

except in the case of clause (a) or (b) to the extent (other than with respect to the preservation of the existence of the Borrower) that failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or pursuant to any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution or Disposition permitted by Article VII.

SECTION 6.06 Maintenance of Properties. Except if the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, maintain, preserve and protect all of its material properties and equipment used in the operation of its business in good working order, repair and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and casualty or condemnation excepted.

SECTION 6.07 Maintenance of Insurance. (a) Maintain with insurance companies that the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of its management) are financially sound and reputable at the time the relevant coverage is placed or renewed, insurance with respect to the Borrower’s and the Restricted Subsidiaries’ properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the

102

same or similar business, of such types and in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance reasonable and customary for similarly situated Persons engaged in the same or similar businesses as the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries) as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons, and will furnish to the Lenders, upon written request from the Administrative Agent, information presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary be required to obtain or maintain insurance that is more restrictive than its normal course of practice. Each such policy of insurance shall as appropriate, (i) name the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear and/or (ii) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain an additional loss payable clause or endorsement that names the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as the additional loss payee thereunder.

(b) If any portion of any Mortgaged Property is within a special flood hazard area, then the Borrower shall, or shall cause each Loan Party to, (i) maintain, or cause to be maintained, with a financially sound and reputable insurer, flood insurance in an amount and otherwise sufficient to comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Flood Insurance Laws and (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent evidence of such compliance in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent.

Maintain proper books of record and account, in which entries that are full, true and correct in all material respects and are in conformity with GAAP shall be made of all material financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be (it being understood and agreed that certain Foreign Subsidiaries maintain individual books and records in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in their respective countries of organization and that such maintenance shall not constitute a breach of the representations, warranties or covenants hereunder).

SECTION 6.10 Inspection Rights. Permit representatives and independent contractors of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to visit and inspect any of its properties, to examine its corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and independent public accountants (subject to such accountants’ customary policies and procedures), all at the reasonable expense of the Borrower and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the Borrower; provided that, only the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 6.10 and the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights more often than two (2) times during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default and only one (1) such time shall be at the Borrower’s expense; provided, further, that when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent (or any of its representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Borrower at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice.

103

applicable, and thereupon all provisions of this Agreement relating to the Notes Collateral or the ABL Collateral, as applicable, shall be deemed to relate to such After-Acquired Property to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

SECTION 6.12 Compliance with Environmental Laws. Except, in each case, to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (a) comply, and take all reasonable actions to cause any lessees and other Persons operating or occupying its properties to comply, with all applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits; (b) obtain and renew all Environmental Permits necessary for its operations and properties; and (c) in each case to the extent required by applicable Environmental Laws, conduct any investigation, study, sampling and testing, and undertake any cleanup, removal, remedial or other action necessary to remove and clean up all Hazardous Materials from any of its properties, in accordance with the applicable requirements of Environmental Laws.

ARTICLE VII

Negative Covenants

So long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder or any Loan or other Obligation hereunder (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied, the Borrower shall not, nor shall the Borrower permit any Restricted Subsidiary to:

SECTION 7.01 Liens. Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property, assets or revenues, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than Permitted Liens.

SECTION 7.02 [Reserved].

SECTION 7.03 Indebtedness.

(a) Create, incur, issue, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.03:

(i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness,” the Borrower, in its sole discretion, will classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses; and

(ii) the Borrower will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one clause of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness.”

104

(c) Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness will not be deemed to be an incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 7.03.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar-equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such Refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such Refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of accrued interest, fees, underwriting discounts, premiums (including tender premiums) and penalties (if any) thereon and other costs and expenses (including OID, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with such Refinancing.

(e) Subject to the proviso to Section 7.03(d), the principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being Refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such Refinancing.

ARTICLE IX

Administrative Agent and Other Agents

SECTION 9.01 Appointment and Authorization of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America, N.A., to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX (other than Sections 9.09, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12 and 9.16) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provision.

SECTION 9.02 Rights as a Lender. Any Person serving as an Agent (including as Administrative Agent) hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

SECTION 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and such duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Agent (including the Administrative Agent) and an Arranger:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent or Arranger is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law and instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent or Arranger is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required

121

Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent or Arranger to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Person serving as an Agent, Arranger or any of their Affiliates in any capacity.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by the final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any recital, statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Term Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that each Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Section 10.05. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Arranger shall not, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

SECTION 9.04 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Term Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Term Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Term Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing

122

delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

SECTION 9.05 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Term Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

SECTION 9.06 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. With respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Loan Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 9.07 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Agent-Related Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Agent-Related Persons of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.08 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, to the extent the Administrative Agent or any other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent or any other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or any other Agent-Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving

123

rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.08 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto, provided, further, that the failure of any Lender to indemnify or reimburse the Administrative Agent shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation in respect thereof. The undertaking in this Section 9.08 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.09 The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

SECTION 9.10 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Term Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Term Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Term Note or of any Term Note or Term Notes issued in exchange therefor.

SECTION 9.11 Resignation by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving 30 Business Days prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent is in material breach of its obligations hereunder as Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may be removed as the Administrative Agent at the reasonable request of the Required Lenders. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below.

Upon any such notice of resignation by, or notice of removal of, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing).

If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 30 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

124

If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing by the 35th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent or such notice of removal was given by the Required Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. The retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.11.

Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (i) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents or (ii) otherwise ensure that requirements of Section 6.11, 6.13 and Article XII are satisfied, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.11).

The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Agent-Related Persons in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.11, the Administrative Agent (i) shall continue to be subject to Section 10.08 and (ii) shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Article IX (and the analogous provisions of the other Loan Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.12 Collateral Matters. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to take the actions to be taken by them as set forth in Article XII, in cash case subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, as applicable.

SECTION 9.13 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Agent-Related Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Agent-Related Persons of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

125

SECTION 9.14 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (a) through (g) of Section 10.01 of this Agreement, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

126

SECTION 9.15 Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.

(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.

(c) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be reasonably required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments reasonably acceptable to it promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.16 Intercreditor Agreements. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement to the extent contemplated by the terms hereof, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such Intercreditor Agreement is binding upon them. Each Lender (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreements and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof and (c) without any further consent of the Lenders, hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to negotiate, execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any intercreditor agreement or any amendment (or amendment and restatement) to the Collateral Documents or a Customary Intercreditor Agreement to effect the provisions contemplated by clause (ii) of the definition of “Permitted Liens.” In addition, each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into (i) any amendments to any Intercreditor Agreements, and (ii) any other intercreditor arrangements, in the case of clauses (i), and (ii) to the extent required to give effect to the establishment of intercreditor rights and privileges as contemplated and required or permitted by Section 7.01 of this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that any of the Administrative Agent (or one or more of their respective Affiliates) may (but are not obligated to) act as the “Senior Representative” or like term for the holders of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness under the security agreements with respect thereto and/or under the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Equal Priority

127

Intercreditor Agreement or other Customary Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender waives any conflict of interest, now contemplated or arising hereafter, in connection therewith and agrees not to assert against any Agent or any of its affiliates any claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto.

SECTION 9.17 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 3.01, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.17. The agreements in this Section 9.17 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

ARTICLE X

Miscellaneous

SECTION 10.01 Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders (other than with respect to any amendment or waiver contemplated in clause (g) below (in the case of clause (g), to the extent permitted by Section 2.12), which shall only require the consent of the Required Facility Lenders under the applicable Facility or Facilities, as applicable) (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to acknowledge any such waiver, consent or amendment that otherwise satisfies the requirements of this Section 10.01 as promptly as possible, however, to the extent the final form of such waiver, consent or amendment has been delivered to the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to the proposed effectiveness of the consents by the Lenders party thereto, the Administrative Agent shall acknowledge such waiver, consent or amendment (i) immediately, in the case of any amendment which does not require the consent of any existing Lender under this Agreement or (ii) otherwise, within two hours of the time copies of the Required Lender consents or other applicable Lender consents required by this Section 10.01 have been provided to the Administrative Agent; and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.01 or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender);

(b) postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, any payment of principal or interest under Section 2.05 or 2.06 (other than pursuant to Section 2.06(b)) or any payment of fees or premiums hereunder or under any Loan Document with respect to payments to any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest and it being further understood that any change to the definition of “Senior Net Leverage Ratio,” “Secured Net Leverage Ratio,” “Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio” or “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” or, in each case, in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in any amount of interest;

128

(c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or (subject to clause (iii) of the proviso immediately succeeding clause (g) of this Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, it being understood that any change to the definition of “Senior Net Leverage Ratio,” “Secured Net Leverage Ratio,” “Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio” or “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” or, in each case, in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate;

(d) except as contemplated by clause (c) in the sentence immediately after the proviso immediately succeeding clause (g) of this Section 10.01, change any provision of this Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders,” “Required Facility Lenders” or any other provision specifying the number of Lenders or portion of the Loans or Commitments required to take any action under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(e) other than in a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05, release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of each Lender;

(f) other than in a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05, release all or substantially all of the aggregate value of the Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender;

(g) amend, waive or otherwise modify any term or provision (including the availability and conditions to funding under Section 2.12 with respect to Incremental Term Loans and the rate of interest applicable thereto) which directly affects Lenders of one or more Incremental Term Loans and does not directly affect Lenders under any other Facility, in each case, without the written consent of the Required Facility Lenders under such applicable Incremental Term Loans (and in the case of multiple Facilities which are affected, such Required Facility Lenders shall consent together as one Facility); provided, however, that, to the extent permitted under Section 2.12, the waivers described in this clause (g) shall only require the consent of the Required Facility Lenders under such applicable Incremental Term Loans;

and provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) Section 10.07(g) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification; and (iii) the consent of the applicable Required Facility Lenders shall be required with respect to any amendment that by its terms adversely affects the rights of Lenders under one or more Term Facilities (and in the case of multiple Term Facilities which are so adversely affected, such Required Facility Lenders shall consent together as one Term Facility) in respect of payments hereunder in a manner different than such amendment affects other Term Facilities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing,

(a) no Lender consent is required to effect any amendment or supplement to the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement or any other Customary Intercreditor Agreement (i) that is for the purpose of adding the holders of Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, Permitted Ratio Debt or any other Permitted Indebtedness that is Secured Indebtedness (or a Senior Representative with respect thereto) as parties thereto, as expressly contemplated by the terms of such Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, such Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement or such other Customary Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable (it being understood that any such amendment, modification or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are

129

required to effectuate the foregoing and provided, that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders) or (ii) that is expressly contemplated by the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement (or the comparable provisions, if any, of the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement or other Customary Intercreditor Agreement); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable;

(b) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders;

(c) (i) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section 10.01 if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time, (ii) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency (including, without limitation, amendments, supplements or waivers to any of the Collateral Documents, guarantees, intercreditor agreements or related documents executed by any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary in connection with this Agreement if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order to cause such Collateral Documents, guarantees, intercreditor agreements or related documents to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment; provided that the consent of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall not be required to make any such changes necessary to be made in connection with any borrowing of Incremental Term Loans, any borrowing of Other Term Loans, any Extension or any borrowing of Replacement Loans and otherwise to effect the provisions of Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 or the immediately succeeding paragraph of this Section 10.01, respectively, and (C) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of the other Lenders, (i) effect changes to any Mortgage as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Collateral Agent and (ii) effect changes to this Agreement that are necessary and appropriate to provide for the mechanics contemplated by the offering process set forth in Section 2.03(a)(iv).

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the Replacement Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans of any Class (“Refinanced Loans”) with replacement term loans (“Replacement Loans”) hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Loans, plus accrued interest, fees, premiums (if any) and penalties thereon and reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing of Refinanced Loans with such Replacement Loans, (b) the All-In Yield with respect to such Replacement Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Replacement Loans) shall not be higher than the All-In Yield for such Refinanced Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Refinanced Loans) immediately prior to such refinancing, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Loans at the time of such refinancing (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Refinanced Loans prior to the time of such incurrence) and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the Latest Maturity Date of the

130

Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing. Each amendment to this Agreement providing for Replacement Loans may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to effect the provisions of this paragraph, and for the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall supersede any other provisions in this Section 10.01 to the contrary.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01, the Guaranty, the Collateral Documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause the Guaranty, Collateral Documents or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including by adding additional parties as contemplated herein).

If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error (including, but not limited to, an incorrect cross-reference) or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any exhibit, schedule or other attachment to any Loan Document), then the Administrative Agent (acting in its sole discretion) and the Borrower or any other relevant Loan Party shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.

Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b).

(b) Electronic Communication. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article II by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

131

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons or any Arranger (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to Holdings, the Borrower, any Lender, or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to Holdings, the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(e) Change of Address. Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by written notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

(f) Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Agent-Related Persons of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

SECTION 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or

132

partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.09 (subject to the terms of Section 2.11), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.11, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

SECTION 10.04 Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees (a) if the Closing Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arranger for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Arranger (promptly following a written demand therefor, together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request) incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction, and (b) upon presentation of a summary statement, together with any supporting documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole, promptly following a written demand therefor for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders taken as a whole (and, if necessary, one local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected Lenders similarly situated taken as a whole)). The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid promptly following receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

SECTION 10.05 Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agents, each Lender, the Arranger and their respective Related Persons (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including Attorney Costs and Environmental Liability) to which any such Indemnitee may become subject arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant jurisdiction, and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated taken as a whole) any actual or threatened claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to the Transactions or to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans or the use, or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding), and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a

133

party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnified Persons as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) a material breach of any obligations under any Loan Document by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnified Persons as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) any dispute solely among Indemnitees other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an administrative agent or arranger or any similar role under any Loan Document and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of their Affiliates (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). To the extent that the undertakings to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.05 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any applicable law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that they are permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through SyndTrak or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement (except to the extent such damages are found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee), nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date) (other than, in the case of any Loan Party, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party for which such Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.05). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within twenty (20) Business Days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. This Section 10.05 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund and return promptly any and all amounts paid by the Borrower, Holdings, the Sponsor or any of their Affiliates under this Section 10.05 to such Indemnitee for any such fees, expenses or damages to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 10.06 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Loan Parties or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

SECTION 10.07 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and registered assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Holdings nor the Borrower may, except as permitted by Section 7.04, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, to existing Lenders and their Affiliates) except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(b) (such an

134

assignee, an “Eligible Assignee”) and (A) in the case of any Eligible Assignee that, immediately prior to or upon giving effect to such assignment, is an Affiliated Lender, Section 10.07(h), (B) in the case of any Eligible Assignee that is Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, Section 10.07(l) or (C) in the case of any Eligible Assignee that, immediately prior to or upon giving effect to such assignment, is a Debt Fund Affiliate, Section 10.07(k), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(d), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(f), or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(g) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Indemnitees and Related Persons of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section 10.07, the aggregate amount of the Commitment or, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 10.07(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date or (2) in respect of an assignment of all or a portion of the Term Loans only, such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment of all or a portion of the Term Loans unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice of a

135

failure to respond to such request for assignment; provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment of all or a portion of the Loans pursuant to Section 10.07(h), (k) or (l); and

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment (i) of all or a portion of the Loans pursuant to Section 10.07(g), (h), (k) or (l), or (ii) from an Agent to its Affiliate.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent). Other than in the case of assignments pursuant to Section 10.07(l), the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignments to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries except as permitted under Section 2.03(a)(iv), (B) subject to Sections 10.07(h), (k) and (l) below, to any Affiliate of the Borrower, (C) to a natural person or (D) to any Disqualified Institution. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any prospective assignee is a Disqualified Institution or have any liability in connection therewith.

This Section 10.07(b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis among such Facilities.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 10.07 (and, in the case of an Affiliated Lender or a Person that, after giving effect to such assignment, would become an Affiliated Lender, to the requirements of clause (h) of this Section 10.07), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, other than in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(l), (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment), but shall in any event continue to be subject to Section 10.08. Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Term Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Term Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(d).

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, each notice of cancellation of any Loans delivered by the Borrower pursuant to subsections (h) or (l) below, and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans and amounts owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and, with respect to its own Loans, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time

136

upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 10.07(c) and Section 2.09 shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender, nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount of the Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders.

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, the Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Borrower or a Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 (other than clauses (d) and (g) thereof) that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section 10.07, the Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 (subject to the requirements of Section 3.01 (including subsections (b), (c) and/or (d), as applicable as though it were a Lender)), Section 3.04 and 3.05 (through the applicable Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 10.07. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or such entitlement to a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the sale of the participation takes place. Each Lender that sells a participation shall (acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower) maintain a register complying with the requirements of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder on which is entered the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender and the Borrower shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary; provided that no Lender shall have the obligation to disclose all or a portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of the Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that any such commitments, loans, letters of credit or other obligations are in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Term Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to

137

exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) such SPC and the applicable Loan or any applicable part thereof shall be appropriately reflected in the Participant Register. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(h) Any Lender may at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase or take by assignment open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures of the type described in Section 2.03(a)(iv) or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations:

(i) Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II;

(ii) each Affiliated Lender that purchases any Term Loans pursuant to clause (x) above shall represent and warrant to the selling Term Lender (other than any other Affiliated Lender) that it does not possess material non-public information (or material information of the type that would not be public if the Borrower or any Parent Entity were a publicly-reporting company) with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that either (1) has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders that have elected not to receive such information) or (2) if not disclosed to the Term Lenders, would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on, or otherwise be material to (A) a Term Lender’s decision to participate in any such assignment or (B) the market price of such Term Loans, or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made;

(iii) each Lender (other than any other Affiliated Lender) that assigns any Term Loans to an Affiliated Lender pursuant to clause (y) above shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a customary Big Boy Letter (unless such Affiliated Lender is willing, in its sole discretion, to make the representation and warranty contemplated by the foregoing clause (ii));

(iv) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of any Class under this Agreement held by Affiliated Lenders at the time of any such purchase or assignment shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such Class outstanding at such time under this Agreement (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans of any Class held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio;

(v) as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this subsection (h), the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have been provided a notice in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Lender pursuant to which such Affiliated Lender shall waive any right to bring any action in connection with such Term Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such; and

(vi) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”).

138

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Affiliated Lender that has purchased Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (h) may, in its sole discretion, contribute, directly or indirectly, the principal amount of such Term Loans or any portion thereof, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower for the purpose of cancelling and extinguishing such Term Loans. Upon the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans then held by the Borrower and (y) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register.

Each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender. The Administrative Agent may conclusively rely upon any notice delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and/or pursuant to clause (v) of this subsection (h) and shall not have any liability for any losses suffered by any Person as a result of any purported assignment to or from an Affiliated Lender.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders,” or “Required Facility Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders and Required Facility Lenders (in respect of a Class of Term Loans) have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or subject to Section 10.07(j), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, no Affiliated Lender shall have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action and:

(i) all Term Loans held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders and Required Facility Lenders (in respect of a Class of Term Loans) have taken any actions; and

(ii) all Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether all Lenders have taken any action unless the action in question affects such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner than its effect on other Lenders.

(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption shall provide a confirmation that, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Term Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Term Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders.

139

(k) Although Debt Fund Affiliates shall be Eligible Assignees and shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 10.07(h), (i) or (j), any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, a Debt Fund Affiliate only through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase or take by assignment open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures of the type described in Section 2.03(a)(iv) (for the avoidance of doubt, without requiring any representation as to the possession of material non-public information by such Affiliate) or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis. Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Term Loans held by Debt Fund Affiliates, in the aggregate, may not account for more than 49.9% of the Term Loans of consenting Lenders included in determining whether the Required Lenders have consented to any action pursuant to Section 10.01.

(l) Any Lender may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures of the type described in Section 2.03(a)(iv) or (y) open market purchases on a non-pro rata basis; provided, that:

(i) (x) if the assignee is Holdings or a Subsidiary of the Borrower, upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, the applicable assignee shall automatically be deemed to have contributed or transferred the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower; or (y) if the assignee is the Borrower (including through contribution or transfers set forth in clause (x)), (a) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to any the Borrower shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (b) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of the remaining Lenders shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans then held by the Borrower and (c) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register; and

(ii) each Person that purchases any Term Loans pursuant to clause (x) of this subsection (l) shall represent and warrant to the selling Term Lender (other than any Affiliated Lender) that it does not possess material non-public information (or material information of the type that would not be public if the Borrower or any Parent Entity were a publicly-reporting company) with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that either (1) has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders that have elected not to receive such information) or (2) if not disclosed to the Term Lenders, would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on, or otherwise be material to (A) a Term Lender’s decision to participate in any such assignment or (B) the market price of such Term Loans, or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made.

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Term Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Term Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

SECTION 10.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Term Loans or this Agreement, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Lender with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Borrower, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any right to require a proceeding first against the Borrower, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guaranty shall not be discharged except by full payment of the obligations contained in this Agreement.

Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Collateral Agent in enforcing any rights under this Section 11.01.

If any Lender or the Collateral Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Borrower, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Borrower or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Collateral Agent or such Borrower, this Guaranty, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Lenders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VIII hereof for the purposes of this Guaranty, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VIII hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guaranty. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Lenders under the Guaranty.

Each Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Borrower for liquidation, reorganization, should the Borrower become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Borrower’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of the Term Loans are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Term Loans or Guaranty, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Term Loans shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

145

In case any provision of any Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

The Guaranty issued by any Guarantor shall be a general secured senior obligation of such Guarantor and shall rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future First Lien Obligations of such Guarantor, if any.

Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guaranty shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

SECTION 11.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor and each Lender, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guaranty of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, or similar limitation, for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guaranty. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article XI, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, or similar limitation, under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guaranty shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Agreement to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

SECTION 11.03 Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guaranty set forth in Section 11.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Agreement shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by a Responsible Officer.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guaranty set forth in Section 11.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guaranty on any Term Loan Notes.

If required by Section 7.12 hereof, the Borrower shall cause any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 7.12 hereof and this Article XI, to the extent applicable.

SECTION 11.04 Subrogation. Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Lenders against the Borrower in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full.

SECTION 11.05 Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it shall receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guaranty are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 11.06 Release of Guaranty by Guarantors. Each Guaranty by a Guarantor shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Borrower or the Collateral Agent is required for the release of the such Guarantor’s Guaranty, upon:

(a) (i) any sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise) of (i) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor, after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, in each case if such sale, exchange, disposition or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement;

146

(ii) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of Indebtedness under a guarantee (other than a guarantee of the ABL Credit Agreement or the Senior Notes) that resulted in the creation of such Guaranty, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guaranty is so reinstated, such Guaranty shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor would then be required to provide a Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.12 hereof) (notwithstanding the foregoing, a Guaranty provided by a Guarantor on the Closing Date may not be released and discharged pursuant to this Section 11.06(a)(ii)); and

(b) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII

Collateral Documents

SECTION 12.01 Collateral and Collateral Documents.

(a) The due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the Term Loans when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Term Loans and performance of all other Obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors to the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the Term Loans, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, shall be secured as provided in the Collateral Documents, which define the terms of the Liens that secure the Term Loans and such other Obligations, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower hereby acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in each case pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. Each Lender consents and agrees to the terms of the Collateral Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) and the Intercreditor Agreements as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreements, and authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent copies of all documents pursuant to the Collateral Documents, and shall do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be reasonably required by the next sentence of this Section 12.01, to assure and confirm to the Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Collateral Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Agreement and of the Term Loans secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. The Borrower shall, and shall cause the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower to, use its and their commercially reasonable efforts to take any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Collateral Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien and security interest in and on all of the Collateral (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements), in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing,

(i) the Capital Stock of the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are owned by the Borrower or any Guarantor (other than the capital stock of the Borrower) shall constitute Collateral only to the extent that such Capital Stock can secure the Term Loans without Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (“Rule 3-16”) (or any other law, rule or regulation) requiring separate financial statements of such Subsidiary to be filed with the SEC (or any other governmental agency);

147

(ii) in the event that Rule 3-16 requires or is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Borrower) due to the fact that such Subsidiary’s Capital Stock secure the Term Loans, then the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed not to be part of the Collateral, but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement (in such event, the Collateral Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Lender, to the extent necessary to release the security interests in the shares of Capital Stock and other securities that are so deemed to no longer constitute part of the Collateral); and

(iii) in the event that either Rule 3-16 is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would permit) such Subsidiary’s Capital Stock to secure the Term Loans in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary, then the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed to be a part of the Collateral but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to any such financial statement requirement (in such event, the Collateral Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Lender, to the extent necessary to subject to the Liens under the Collateral Documents such additional Capital Stock).

(c) In addition to the limitations described in Section 12.01(b), the Collateral shall not include (i) property or assets as to which the Collateral Agent has notified any Guarantor in writing that it has reasonably determined that the costs of obtaining a security interest are excessive in relation to the value of the security to be afforded thereby and (ii) the Excluded Assets.

(d) In the case of any Foreign Subsidiary, the Collateral shall be limited to 100% of the non-voting Capital Stock and 65% of the voting Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiaries.

(e) Each Lender (i) consents to the subordination of Liens provided for in the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) agrees that it shall be bound by, and shall take no actions contrary to, the provisions of the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this Section 12.01(e) are intended as an inducement to the holders of Indenture Noteholder Lien Obligations to acquire the Term Loans and such Lenders are intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions and of the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

(f) In addition, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to obtain any landlord waivers, estoppels or collateral access letters and shall not be required to (i) take actions to perfect by control, other than stock pledges and control agreements relating to ABL Collateral, promissory notes, letter of credit rights and commercial tort claims, in each case not exceeding of $5,000,000 or (ii) take any actions under any laws outside of the United States to grant, perfect or enforce any security interest.

SECTION 12.02 [Reserved]

SECTION 12.03 Release of Collateral.

(a) Subject to Sections 12.03(b) and 12.04 hereof, Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Collateral Documents at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements or as provided hereby. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall be entitled to a release of property and other assets included in the Collateral from the Liens securing the Term Loans, and the Collateral Agent shall release, or instruct the Notes Collateral Agent to release, as applicable, the same from such Liens at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, under one or more of the following circumstances:

(i) to enable the Borrower or any Guarantor to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral to the extent not prohibited under Section 7.05 hereof;

148

(ii) in the case of a Guarantor that is released from its Guaranty with respect to all of the Obligations, the release of the property and assets of such Guarantor;

(iii) to the extent property is subject to a lease, upon termination of the lease;

(iv) pursuant to an amendment or waiver in accordance with Article X hereof;

(v) if all of the Term Loans have been satisfied and discharged pursuant to Article X hereof; or

(vi) upon payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Term Loans and all other Obligations related thereto under this Agreement, the Guaranty and the Collateral Documents with respect thereto, that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest are paid.

(b) Subject to the provisions contained in the Intercreditor Agreements, in general the second-priority lien on the ABL Collateral securing the Term Loans shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination and repayment in full of the ABL Credit Agreement and the release by the ABL Agent of the first-priority liens on the ABL Collateral. The second-priority lien on the ABL Collateral securing the Term Loans shall terminate and be released automatically if the first-priority liens on the ABL Collateral are released by the ABL Agent (unless, at the time of such release of such first-priority liens, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Agreement). Notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default, the second-priority lien on the ABL Collateral securing the Senior Notes shall also terminate and be released automatically to the extent the first-priority liens on the ABL Collateral are released by the ABL Agent in connection with a sale, transfer or disposition of ABL Collateral that is either not prohibited under this Agreement or occurs in connection with the foreclosure of, or other exercise of remedies with respect to, such ABL Collateral by the ABL Agent (except with respect to any proceeds of such sale, transfer or disposition that remain after satisfaction in full of the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a release of liens by the ABL Agent on all or substantially all of the ABL Collateral (other than in connection with a foreclosure upon or other exercise of rights and remedies by the ABL Agent with respect to such ABL Collateral), no release of the second-priority liens on the ABL Collateral securing the Term Loans shall be made unless (i) consent to such release has been given by the requisite percentage or number of the holders of the Lenders at the time outstanding, in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof, as provided for in this Agreement or the Collateral Documents and (ii) the Borrower has delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Collateral Agent certifying that all such consents have been obtained. The second priority Liens in the ABL Collateral securing the Term Loans that otherwise would have been released pursuant to the second sentence of this clause (b) but for the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default shall be released when such Event of Default and all other Events of Default under this Agreement cease to exist.

(c) Upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, if any, to such release have been met and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall, or shall cause the Collateral Agent, to execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the Borrower’s expense) such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Agreement or the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release executed in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 12.04 Permitted Releases Not To Impair Lien. Any release of Collateral permitted by Section 12.03 hereof shall be deemed not to impair the Liens under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents in contravention thereof.

SECTION 12.05 [Reserved].

SECTION 12.06 Suits To Protect the Collateral.

149

Subject to the provisions of Article VIII hereof and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Lenders, on behalf of the Lenders, may direct the Collateral Agent to take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to:

(a) enforce any of the terms of the Collateral Documents; and

(b) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations hereunder.

(c) Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Administrative Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Collateral Documents or this Agreement, and such suits and proceedings as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Lenders in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the Lien on the Collateral or be prejudicial to the interests of the Lenders or the Collateral Agent). Nothing in this Section 12.06 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 12.07 Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent Under the Collateral Documents.

Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Administrative Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Lenders distributed under the Collateral Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Lenders according to the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.08 Purchaser Protected.

In no event shall any purchaser in good faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property or rights permitted by this Article XII to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer.

SECTION 12.09 Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Administrative Agent.

In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article XII upon the Borrower or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Borrower or a Guarantor or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article XII; and if the Administrative Agent shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Agreement, then such powers may be exercised by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 12.10 Release Upon Termination of the Borrower’s Obligations.

In the event that the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it, an certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that (i) payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Term Loans and all other Obligations under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents with respect thereto, that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are paid or (ii) the Borrower shall have exercised its satisfaction and discharge option, in compliance with the provisions of Article X hereof, in each case with respect to all of the Term Loans, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent a notice stating that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the

150

Collateral, and any rights it has under the Collateral Documents, and upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such notice, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Administrative Agent and shall do or cause to be done all acts reasonably necessary at the Borrower’s cost to release such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable.

SECTION 12.11 Collateral Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 12.11 are solely for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent and none of the Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders, the Borrower nor any of the Guarantors shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein other than as expressly provided in Section 12.03. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Guarantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which the Collateral Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, including the exercise of remedies pursuant to Article VIII, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(b) None of the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Collateral Document or the Intercreditor Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Borrower or any Guarantor, or any officer or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, contained in this or any Agreement, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or for any failure of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party to this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements or to inspect the properties, books, or records of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Guarantor’s Affiliates.

(c) The Collateral Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with the Borrower, any Guarantor and their Affiliates as though it was not the Collateral Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Collateral Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, any Guarantor or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower, any such Guarantor or such Affiliate) and

151

acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Nothing herein shall impose or imply any obligation on the part of the Collateral Agent to advance funds.

(d) The Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Collateral Documents, (ii) enter into the Intercreditor Agreements, (iii) bind the Lenders on the terms as set forth in the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and (iv) perform and observe its obligations under the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.

(e) The Administrative Agent agrees that it shall not (and shall not be obliged to), and shall not instruct the Collateral Agent to, unless specifically requested to do so by the Required Lenders, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or against the Borrower or any Guarantor, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

If at any time or times the Administrative Agent shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Agreement, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Administrative Agent from the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII, the Administrative Agent shall promptly turn the same over to the Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Agent.

(f) The Administrative Agent is each Lender’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code can be perfected only by possession. Should the Administrative Agent obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

(g) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or any Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or the Borrower or any Guarantor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, any Collateral Document or the Intercreditor Agreements, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral and that the Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Administrative Agent or any Lender as to any of the foregoing.

(h) No provision of this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreements or any Collateral Document shall require the Collateral Agent (or the Administrative Agent) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Lenders (or the Administrative Agent in the case of the Collateral Agent) if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds is not assured to it.

(i) The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, or for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Collateral Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the

152

Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Borrower (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law), (iii) the Collateral Agent may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

(j) Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall be liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.

SECTION 12.12 Designations.

Except as provided in the next sentence, for purposes of the provisions hereof and the Intercreditor Agreements requiring the Borrower to designate Indebtedness for the purposes of the term “Additional Noteholder Lien Debt Facility” or any other such designations hereunder or under the Intercreditor Agreements, any such designation shall be sufficient if the relevant designation is set forth in writing, signed on behalf of the Borrower by a Responsible Officer and delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the ABL Agent.

SECTION 12.13 Additional Collateral.

(a) (i) Subject to the limitations set forth or referenced in this Section 12.13, applicable law and any exceptions set forth in the Security Agreement, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor will cause the issued and outstanding Capital Stock (other than Excluded Capital Stock) of each Subsidiary directly owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to be subject at all times to a first priority (subject to the Intercreditor Agreements and to other Permitted Liens), perfected Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents.

Each and every term and provision of the Credit Agreement and the other Finance Documents (except for the governing law provisions thereof), including the rights, remedies, obligations, covenants, conditions, agreements, indemnities, representations and warranties of the parties thereto shall be considered as if a part of this Mortgage.

(b) If any remedy or right of the Mortgagee pursuant hereto is acted upon by the Mortgagee or if any actions or proceedings (including any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceedings) are commenced in which the Mortgagee is made a party and is obliged to defend or uphold or enforce this Mortgage or the rights of the Mortgagee hereunder or the terms of any Lease, the Mortgagor will pay all sums, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, actually incurred (not as imposed by statute) by the Mortgagee related to the exercise of any remedy or right of the Mortgagee pursuant hereto or for the expense of any such action or proceeding together with all statutory or other costs, disbursements and allowances, plus interest thereon accruing from the date such cost is incurred (and payable five (5) business days from the date of written demand for payment thereof) until such sums are paid at the Default Rate, and such sums and the interest thereon shall, to the extent permissible by law, be a lien on the Encumbered Property prior to any right, title to, interest in or claim upon the Encumbered Property attaching or accruing subsequent to the recording of this Mortgage and shall be secured by this Mortgage to the extent permitted by applicable law.

- 6 -

(c) Any payment of amounts due under this Mortgage not made on or before the due date for such payments shall accrue interest daily without notice from the due date until paid at the Default Rate, and such interest at the Default Rate shall be immediately due upon demand by the Mortgagee, and shall, to the extent permissible by law, be a lien on the Encumbered Property prior to any right, title to, interest in or claim upon the Encumbered Property attaching or accruing subsequent to the recording of this Mortgage and shall be secured by this Mortgage to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 3.08 Payment of Taxes, Liens and Charges.

(a) The Mortgagor will pay and discharge from time to time prior to the time when the same shall become delinquent, and before any interest or penalty accrues thereon or attaches thereto, all Impositions, imposed upon or assessed against the Encumbered Property or any part thereof or upon the Rents from the Encumbered Property or arising in respect of the occupancy, use or possession thereof.

(b) In the event of the passage of any state, Federal, municipal or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation subsequent to the date hereof (i) deducting from the value of real property for the purpose of taxation any lien or encumbrance thereon or in any manner changing or modifying the laws now in force governing the taxation of this Mortgage or debts secured by mortgages or deeds of trust (other than laws governing income, franchise and similar taxes generally) or the manner of collecting taxes thereon and (ii) imposing a tax to be paid by the Mortgagee, either directly or indirectly, on this Mortgage, or any other Finance Documents or to require an amount of taxes to be withheld or deducted therefrom, the Mortgagor will promptly notify the Mortgagee of such event. In such event the Mortgagor shall (i) agree to enter into such further instruments as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to obligate the Mortgagor to make any applicable additional payments, and (ii) the Mortgagor shall make all such additional payments.

(c) Mortgagor shall have the right to contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any Impositions, or to seek a reduction in the valuation of the Encumbered Property, or any part thereof, as assessed for real estate or personal property tax purposes, by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagor may commence such proceedings, however, only after payment of such Impositions, unless such payment would bar any such proceedings or interfere materially and adversely with the prosecution thereof, in which event Mortgagor may postpone or defer payment of such Impositions provided it gives Mortgagee timely notice of same. Upon such postponement or deferral, on Mortgagee’s demand, (i) Mortgagor shall provide security, for the duration of such proceedings (including any appeals), in such form and amount as shall, in Mortgagee’s reasonable judgment, assure the discharge of Mortgagor’s obligations hereunder and of any additional charge, penalty or expense incurred as a result of such proceedings; and (ii) if the Encumbered Property or any part thereof shall, in Mortgagee’s reasonable judgment, be in imminent danger of being forfeited or lost by reason of such postponement or deferral, Mortgagor shall immediately pay or cause to be paid the Impositions.

(d) If required by the Mortgagee during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Mortgagor shall pay the Mortgagee monthly, together with and in addition to the payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Finance Obligation, an amount determined by the Mortgagee to be necessary to enable the Mortgagee to pay all Impositions one month before it becomes due. If the total payments made to the Mortgagee pursuant to the preceding sentence are less than the amount required to pay any Imposition one month before it becomes due, the Mortgagor shall pay the Mortgagee, on demand, the amount necessary to make up such deficiency. If there is an excess of such payments, the excess will reduce subsequent payments required under this Section 3.08. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Mortgagee shall not be required to pay interest on any sums held pursuant to this Section 3.08. If an Event of Default has occurred, the Mortgagee may at its option apply any amounts received pursuant to this Section 3.08 to the payment of the Finance Obligations in such order as the Mortgagee may elect.

Section 3.09 Payment of Closing Costs. The Mortgagor shall pay all reasonable costs in connection with, relating to or arising out of the preparation, execution and recording of this Mortgage, including title company premiums and charges, survey costs, recording fees and taxes, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and all other similar expenses of every kind.

Section 3.12 Casualty; Restoration of Casualty Damage. The Mortgagor shall give the Mortgagee prompt written notice of any fire or other casualty to all or any material portion of the Encumbered Property (a “Casualty”). In the event of a Casualty, the Net Cash Proceeds with respect to any such Casualty shall be paid and applied in accordance with the Finance Documents.

Section 3.13 Condemnation/Eminent Domain. The Mortgagor shall notify the Mortgagee promptly upon obtaining knowledge of any pending or threatened condemnation or taking of all or any material portion of the Encumbered Property (a “Condemnation”). In the event of a Condemnation, all Net Cash Proceeds shall be paid and applied in accordance with the Finance Documents.

Section 3.14 Assignment of Leases and Rents.

(a) The Mortgagor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely grants, transfers and assigns to the Mortgagee all of its right, title and interest in and to all Leases, together with any and all extensions and renewals thereof for purposes of securing and discharging the Finance Obligations. The Mortgagor has not assigned or executed any assignment of, and will not assign or execute any assignment of, any Lease or its respective Rents to anyone other than to the Mortgagee, other than in connection with the ABL Collateral Documents.

(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, without the Mortgagee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the Mortgagor will not (i) enter into, modify in any material respect, amend in any material respect, terminate or consent to the cancellation or surrender of any Lease if such entrance, modification, amendment, termination or consent would, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgagee, be adverse in any material respect to the Secured Parties, the value of the Encumbered Property or the liens and security interests created by this Mortgage or (ii) except for an assignment or subletting which is expressly permitted under the terms of the Lease, consent to an assignment of any tenant’s interest in any Lease or to a subletting thereof covering a material portion of the Encumbered Property, except, in each case, as may be permitted by this Mortgage or the other Finance Documents.

(c) The Mortgagor has assigned and transferred to the Mortgagee all of the Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to the Rents now or hereafter arising, it being intended that this assignment establish, subject to Section 3.14(d) below, an absolute transfer and assignment of all Rents and all Leases to the Mortgagee and not merely to grant a security interest therein. Such assignment to the Mortgagee shall not be construed to bind the Mortgagee to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon the Mortgagee except that the Mortgagee shall be accountable for any Rents actually received pursuant to the aforesaid assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mortgagor shall have the license and right, subject to automatic revocation as provided in Section 3.14(d) below, to operate and rent, lease or let all or any portion of the Encumbered Property and to collect all of the Rents. As provided in Section 3.14(d) below, the license granted by this Section 3.14(c) is subject to automatic revocation and thereafter the Mortgagee may, in the Mortgagor’s name and stead (with or without first taking possession of any of the Encumbered Property personally or by receiver as provided herein) operate the Encumbered Property and rent, lease or let all or any portion of any of the Encumbered Property to any party or parties at such rental and upon such terms as the Mortgagee shall, in its sole discretion, determine, and may collect and have the benefit of all of such Rents arising from or accruing at any time thereafter or that may thereafter become due.

- 8 -

(d) As long as no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, the license granted under Section 3.14(c) above shall be effective and the Mortgagee shall not exercise any of its rights under Section 3.14(c) above, and the Mortgagor shall receive and collect the Rents accruing under any Lease pursuant to the revocable license granted therein; but upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the license granted under Section 3.14(c) above shall be deemed to be automatically revoked and shall terminate automatically without notice and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to all of the Rents without the necessity of the Mortgagee’s taking any action whatsoever, and the Rents shall thereupon be deemed to be cash collateral for all purposes, including without limitation for purposes of Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Mortgagee may receive and collect all Rents and enter upon the Premises and Improvements through its officers, agents, employees or attorneys for such purpose and for the operation and maintenance thereof. Upon the occurrence and during any continuance of an Event of Default, the Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each tenant, if any, and each successor, if any, to the interest of any tenant under any Lease, respectively, to rely upon any notice of a claimed Event of Default sent by the Mortgagee to any such tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest, and thereafter to pay Rents to the Mortgagee without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether an Event of Default actually exists and even if notice to the contrary is received from the Mortgagor, who shall have no right or claim against any such tenant or successor in interest for any such Rents so paid to the Mortgagee. Each tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest from whom the Mortgagee or any officer, agent, attorney or employee of the Mortgagee shall have collected any Rents, shall be authorized to pay Rents to the Mortgagor only after such tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest shall have received written notice from the Mortgagee that the Event of Default is no longer continuing, which notice the Mortgagee shall be obligated to give if the Mortgagee determines in its reasonable discretion that such Event of Default is no longer continuing (or if ordered by a court or arbitrator with jurisdiction), unless and until a further notice of an Event of Default is given by the Mortgagee to such tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest.

(e) The Mortgagee will not become a mortgagee in possession so long as it does not enter and take actual possession of the Encumbered Property. In addition, the Mortgagee shall not be responsible or liable for performing any of the obligations of the landlord under any Lease, for any waste by any tenants, or others, for any dangerous or defective conditions of any of the Encumbered Property, for negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of any of the Encumbered Property or any other act or omission by any other person, except in the event the Mortgagee takes possession of the Encumbered Property, but only for occurrences or non-occurrences arising or accruing subsequent to such taking of possession of the Encumbered Property.

(f) The Mortgagor shall furnish to the Mortgagee, within 30 days after a request by the Mortgagee to do so, a written statement containing the names of all tenants, subtenants and concessionaires of the Premises or Improvements, the terms of any Lease, the space occupied and the rentals or license fees payable thereunder.

(g) If an Event of Default occurs, and if there is any applicable law requiring the Mortgagee to take actual or constructive possession of the Premises (or some action equivalent thereto, such as securing the appointment of a receiver) in order for the Mortgagee to “perfect” or “activate” its rights and remedies as set forth herein, the Mortgagor hereby waives the benefits of any such laws to the maximum extent allowable.

Section 3.15 Restrictions on Transfers and Encumbrances. Except as permitted hereby or by the Finance Documents, the Mortgagor shall not directly or indirectly sell, convey, alienate, mortgage, pledge, encumber or create, consent to or suffer the creation of any lien or charge upon any interest in or any part of the Encumbered Property.

Section 3.16 Security Agreement. This Mortgage is both a mortgage and grant of real property and a grant of a security interest in personal property, and shall constitute and serve as a “security agreement” within the meaning of the UCC. The Mortgagor hereby grants unto the Mortgagee for the benefit of the

- 9 -

Secured Parties a security interest in and to all the Encumbered Property described in this Mortgage that is not real property, and substantially contemporaneously with the recording of this Mortgage, the Mortgagor has filed or will file UCC financing statements, and will file continuation statements prior to the lapse thereof, at the appropriate offices in the state in which the Premises are located and otherwise may be required or advisable to perfect the security interest granted by this Mortgage in all the Encumbered Property that is not real property. The Mortgagor hereby appoints the Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, for the Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to execute any document and to file the same in the appropriate offices (to the extent it may lawfully do so), and to perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done to perfect the security interest hereby granted. The Mortgagee shall have all rights with respect to the part of the Encumbered Property that is the subject of a security interest afforded by the UCC in addition to, but not in limitation of, the other rights afforded the Mortgagee hereunder. The Mortgagor agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that: (i) all of the goods described within the definition of the word “Personal Property” are or are to become fixtures on the Land; (ii) this Mortgage upon recording or registration in the real estate records of the proper office shall constitute a financing statement filed as a “fixture filing” within the meaning of Section 9-502(c) of the UCC; (iii) the Mortgagor is the record owner of the Premises; and (iv) the addresses of Mortgagor and Mortgagee are as set forth in Section 5.02 of this Mortgage. Additionally, this Mortgage shall constitute a financing statement covering fixtures and/or minerals or the like (including oil and gas) and/or accounts resulting from the sale thereof at the wellhead or minehead and, as such, shall be filed for record in the real estate records of each county in which the Land, or any part thereof, is located.

Section 3.17 Filing and Recording. The Mortgagor will cause this Mortgage, any other security instrument creating a security interest in or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Encumbered Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and to protect fully the liens and security interests of the Mortgagee hereby granted in and upon the Encumbered Property. The Mortgagor will pay all filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incidental to the execution and acknowledgment of this Mortgage, any mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Encumbered Property, and any instrument of further assurance and all Federal, state, county and municipal recording, documentary or intangible taxes and other taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution, delivery and recording of this Mortgage, any mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Encumbered Property or any instrument of further assurance.

Section 3.18 Further Assurances. Upon demand by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor will, at the sole cost of the Mortgagor and without expense to the Mortgagee, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, deeds, conveyances, deeds of trust, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances as the Mortgagee shall from time to time reasonably require as necessary for the assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring and confirming unto the Mortgagee the property and rights hereby conveyed or assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which the Mortgagor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to the Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Mortgage, or for filing, registering or recording this Mortgage, and on demand, the Mortgagor will also execute and deliver and hereby appoints the Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent for the Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to execute and file to the extent it may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or comparable security instruments reasonably required by the Mortgagee to evidence or perfect the liens and security interests hereby granted and to perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done to accomplish the same.

Section 3.19 Additions to Encumbered Property. All right, title and interest of the Mortgagor in and to all extensions, improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutes and replacements of, and all additions and appurtenances to, the Encumbered Property hereafter acquired by or released to the Mortgagor or constructed, assembled or placed by the Mortgagor upon the Premises or the Improvements, and all conversions of the security constituted thereby, immediately upon such acquisition, release, construction, assembling, placement or conversion, as the case may be, and in each such case without any further mortgage, conveyance, assignment or other act by the Mortgagor, shall become subject to the liens and security interests of this Mortgage as fully and

- 10 -

completely and with the same effect as though now owned by the Mortgagor and specifically described in the grant of the Encumbered Property above, but at any and all times the Mortgagor will execute and deliver to the Mortgagee any and all such further assurances, mortgages, conveyances or assignments thereof as the Mortgagee may reasonably require for the purpose of expressly and specifically subjecting the same to the liens and security interests of this Mortgage.

Section 3.20 No Claims Against the Mortgagee. Nothing contained in this Mortgage shall constitute any consent or request by the Mortgagee, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Encumbered Property or any part thereof, nor as giving the Mortgagor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against the Mortgagee in respect thereof.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 4.01 Events of Default. It shall be an Event of Default under this Mortgage if any Event of Default shall exist under any Finance Document.

Section 4.02 Demand for Payment. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, in addition to any other rights and remedies the Mortgagee may have pursuant to the Finance Documents, or as provided at law or in equity, and without limitation, the Finance Obligations and all other amounts payable with respect to the Term Loans, the Credit Agreement, this Mortgage and all other Finance Documents shall become due and payable as provided therein. The Mortgagor shall pay to the Mortgagee within the time period set forth in the Finance Documents (or if no time period is specified therein, promptly after written demand by Mortgagee) all such amounts and such further amounts as shall be reasonably incurred (without regard to statutory presumption) to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor hereby waives notice of presentment, demand, protest, acceleration and notice of acceleration to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. In case the Finance Parties shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts or any amounts due under the Finance Documents or any provision of this Mortgage within the time period set forth in the Finance Documents (or if no time period is specified therein, promptly after written demand by Mortgagee), the Mortgagee, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided herein or at law or equity, shall be entitled and empowered to institute an action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, to prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, to enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Mortgagor and to collect, in any manner provided by law, all moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

Section 4.03 Rights to Take Possession, Operate and Apply Revenues.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagor shall, upon demand of the Mortgagee, forthwith surrender to the Mortgagee actual possession of the Encumbered Property and, if and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Mortgagee itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may then enter and take possession of all the Encumbered Property with or without the appointment of a receiver or an application therefor, exclude the Mortgagor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom, and have access to the books, papers and accounts of the Mortgagor.

(b) If the Mortgagor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Encumbered Property or any part thereof after such demand by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee may obtain a judgment or decree conferring upon the Mortgagee the right to immediate possession or requiring the Mortgagor to deliver immediate possession of the Encumbered Property to the Mortgagee, to the entry of which judgment or decree the Mortgagor hereby specifically consents. The Mortgagor will pay to the Mortgagee, upon demand, all reasonable expenses of obtaining

- 11 -

such judgment or decree, including compensation to the Mortgagee’s attorneys (for reasonable fees actually incurred (not as imposed by statute)) and agents with interest thereon at the Default Rate; and all such expenses and compensation shall, until paid, be secured by this Mortgage.

(c) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagee may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Encumbered Property, conduct the business thereof and, from time to time, (i) make all necessary, proper and reasonable maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon, (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property, (iii) insure or keep the Encumbered Property insured, (iv) manage and operate the Encumbered Property and exercise all the rights and powers of the Mortgagor to the same extent as the Mortgagor could in its own name or otherwise with respect to the same or (v) enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise by others of any of the powers herein granted to the Mortgagee, all as may from time to time be directed or determined by the Mortgagee to be in its best interest and the Mortgagor hereby appoints the Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, for the Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to perform any of the foregoing acts. Regardless of whether or not the Mortgagee has entered or taken possession, the Mortgagee may collect and receive all the Rents, issues, profits and revenues from the Encumbered Property, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and, after deducting (i) all expenses of taking, holding, managing and operating the Encumbered Property (including compensation for the services of all persons employed for such purposes), (ii) the costs of all such maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments, improvements, purchases and acquisitions, (iii) the costs of insurance, (iv) such taxes, assessments and other similar charges as the Mortgagee may at its option pay, (v) other proper charges upon the Encumbered Property or any part thereof and (vi) the compensation, expenses and disbursements of the attorneys and agents of the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee shall apply the remainder of the moneys and proceeds so received first to the payment of the Mortgagee for the payment in full and satisfaction of the Finance Obligations, and second, if there is any surplus, to the Mortgagor, subject to the entitlement of others thereto under applicable law.

(d) Whenever, before any sale of the Encumbered Property under Section 4.06 hereof, Discharge of Finance Obligations shall have occurred, the Mortgagee will surrender possession of the Encumbered Property back to the Mortgagor, its successors or assigns. The same right of taking possession shall, however, arise again if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.

Section 4.04 Right to Cure the Mortgagor’s Failure to Perform. During the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to Mortgagor, should the Mortgagor fail in the payment, performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition required by this Mortgage or any other Finance Document (with respect to the Encumbered Property), the Mortgagee may pay, perform or observe the same, and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee with interest thereon at the Default Rate. The Mortgagee shall make the determination as to the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid. The Mortgagee is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Premises or the Improvements or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without having any obligation to so perform or observe and without thereby becoming liable to the Mortgagor, to any person in possession holding under the Mortgagor or to any other person.

Section 4.05 Right to a Receiver. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagee, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Encumbered Property and to collect and apply the Rents. The Mortgagor hereby consents to such appointment and acknowledges and agrees that the Mortgagee shall be entitled to such appointment without notice and without regard for the adequacy of security for the Finance Obligations or the solvency of the Mortgagor or any party liable for the Finance Obligations. The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the state wherein the Encumbered Property is located. The Mortgagor will pay to the Mortgagee upon demand all expenses, including receiver’s fees, attorneys’ fees and disbursements that are actually incurred (not as imposed by statute), costs and agent’s compensation incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.05; and all such expenses shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

- 12 -

Section 4.06 Foreclosure and Sale.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagee may elect to sell the Encumbered Property or any part of the Encumbered Property by exercise of the power of foreclosure or of sale granted to the Mortgagee by applicable law, this Mortgage or any other Finance Document. In such case, the Mortgagee may commence a civil action to foreclose this Mortgage, in accordance with applicable law, to satisfy any Finance Obligation. The Mortgagee or an officer appointed by a judgment of foreclosure to sell the Encumbered Property, may sell all or such parts of the Encumbered Property as may be chosen by the Mortgagee at the time and place of sale fixed by it in a notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate lots, parcels or items as the Mortgagee shall deem expedient, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder. The Mortgagee or an officer appointed by a judgment of foreclosure to sell the Encumbered Property may postpone any foreclosure or other sale of all or any portion of the Encumbered Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time as permitted by applicable law thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement or subsequently noticed sale. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, without further notice, the Mortgagee or an officer appointed to sell the Encumbered Property may make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale. Any person, including the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee or any designee or affiliate thereof, may purchase any portion of the Encumbered Property at such sale. If the Mortgagee, or any affiliate of the Mortgagee, is the highest bidder at any foreclosure sale, the Mortgagee may credit the Finance Obligations for the amount of the Mortgagee’s bid in lieu of a cash payment. Mortgagor authorizes and empowers the Mortgagee to execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at any such foreclosure sale, good and sufficient deed(s) and/or bill(s) of sale of the Encumbered Property, or the part thereof foreclosed upon, all with covenants of general warranty binding on Mortgagor and Mortgagor’s successors and assigns.

(b) The Encumbered Property may be sold subject to unpaid taxes and the Permitted Encumbrances, and after deducting all the reasonable actual costs, fees and expenses of the Mortgagee, including, without limitation, costs of evidence of title in connection with the sale, the Mortgagee or an officer that makes any sale shall apply the proceeds of sale in the manner set forth in Section 4.08 hereof.

(c) Any foreclosure or other sale of less than the whole of the Encumbered Property or any defective or irregular sale made hereunder shall not exhaust the power of foreclosure or of sale provided for herein; and subsequent sales may be made hereunder until Discharge of Finance Obligations shall have occurred, or the entirety of the Encumbered Property has been sold.

(d) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagee may instead of, or in addition to, exercising the rights described in Section 4.06(a) above and either with or without entry or taking possession as herein permitted, proceed by a suit or suits in law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (i) to specifically enforce payment of some or all of the terms of the Finance Documents or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Mortgage or any other right or (ii) to pursue any other remedy available to it, at law or in equity, all as the Mortgagee shall determine most effectual for such purposes.

Section 4.07 Other Remedies.

(a) In case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagee may also exercise, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, any or all of the remedies available to a secured party under the UCC, including, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the following:

(i) in the case of personal property, exercise those rights and remedies under the Security Agreement;

- 13 -

(ii) to make such payments and do such acts as the Mortgagee may deem necessary to protect its security interest in the Personal Property including paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge or lien that is prior or superior to the security interest granted hereunder, and, in exercising any such powers or authority, paying all expenses incurred in connection therewith; or

(iii) to enter upon any or all of the Premises or Improvements to exercise the Mortgagee’s rights hereunder.

(b) In connection with a sale of the Encumbered Property and the application of the proceeds of sale as provided in Section 4.08 of this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment of and to receive up to the principal amount of the Finance Obligations, plus all other charges, payments and costs due under this Mortgage, and to recover a deficiency judgment for any portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Finance Obligations remaining unpaid, with interest.

Section 4.08 Application of Sale of Proceeds and Rents.

(a) After any foreclosure sale of all or any of the Encumbered Property, the Mortgagee shall receive the proceeds of sale, no purchaser shall be required to see to the application of the proceeds, and the Mortgagee shall apply the proceeds of the sale together with any Rents that may have been collected and any other sums that then may be held by the Mortgagee under this Mortgage as set forth in Article IV of the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) It is understood that nothing contained in this Mortgage shall exculpate the Mortgagor as to, or otherwise limit the liability of the Mortgagor for, any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Encumbered Property and the amount of the Finance Obligations, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Mortgage or any of the other Finance Documents.

Section 4.09 The Mortgagor as Tenant Holding Over. If the Mortgagor remains in possession of any of the Encumbered Property after any foreclosure sale by the Mortgagee, at the Mortgagee’s election the Mortgagor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith surrender possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed or evicted according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.

Section 4.10 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption Laws.

(a) The Mortgagor will not object to any sale of the Encumbered Property made in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and for itself and all who may claim under it, the Mortgagor waives, to the extent that it lawfully may, all right to have the Encumbered Property marshaled or to have the Encumbered Property sold as separate estates, parcels, tracts or units in the event of any foreclosure of this Mortgage.

(b) To the full extent permitted by the law of the state wherein the Encumbered Property is located or other applicable law, neither the Mortgagor nor anyone claiming through or under it shall or will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead-exemption or redemption laws now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Mortgage, the absolute sale of the Encumbered Property or the final and absolute putting of the purchasers into possession thereof immediately after any sale; and the Mortgagor, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all such laws and any and all right to have the assets covered by the security interest created hereby marshaled upon any foreclosure of this Mortgage.

Section 4.11 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Mortgagee shall proceed to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall be discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall be determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in every such case the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of the Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken.

Section 4.12 Suits to Protect the Encumbered Property. The Mortgagee shall have power (i) to institute and maintain suits and proceedings to prevent any impairment of the Encumbered Property by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Mortgage, (ii) to preserve or protect its interest in the Encumbered Property and in the Rents arising therefrom and (iii) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the security or be prejudicial to the interest of the Mortgagee hereunder.

Section 4.13 Filing Proofs of Claim. In case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Mortgagee allowed in such proceedings for the Finance Obligations secured by this Mortgage at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any interest accrued, late charges and additional interest or other amounts due or that may become due and payable hereunder after such date.

Section 4.14 Possession by the Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, liquidator or trustee of the Mortgagor, any of its property or the Encumbered Property, the Mortgagee shall be entitled, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, to remain in possession and control of all parts of the Encumbered Property now or hereafter granted under this Mortgage in accordance with the terms hereof and applicable law.

Section 4.15 Waiver.

(a) No delay or failure by the Mortgagee to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein unless otherwise expressly consented to in writing by the Mortgagee; and every right, power and remedy given by this Mortgage to the Mortgagee may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee. No consent or waiver by the Mortgagee to or of any Event of Default by the Mortgagor in the performance of the Finance Obligations shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other Event of Default in the performance of the same or any other Finance Obligations by the Mortgagor hereunder. No failure on the part of the Mortgagee to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall constitute a waiver by the Mortgagee of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent on any future Event of Default by the Mortgagor.

(b) Even if the Mortgagee (i) grants some forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of any sums secured hereby, (ii) takes other or additional security for the payment of any sums secured hereby, (iii) waives or does not exercise some right granted herein or under the Finance Documents, (iv) releases a part of the Encumbered Property from this Mortgage, (v) agrees to change some of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of any of the Finance Documents, (vi) consents to the filing of a map, plat or replat affecting the Premises, (vii) consents to the granting of an easement or other right affecting the Premises or (viii) makes or consents to an agreement subordinating the Mortgagee’s lien on the Encumbered Property hereunder; no such act or omission shall preclude the Mortgagee from exercising any other right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any Event of Default then made or of any subsequent Event of Default; nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument executed by the Mortgagee, shall this Mortgage be altered thereby. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or part of the Encumbered

- 15 -

Property, the Mortgagee is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any vendee or transferee with reference to the Encumbered Property secured hereby, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any liabilities, obligations or undertakings.

Section 4.16 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Mortgagee by this Mortgage is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, and each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

The Mortgagor agrees that the lien of this Mortgage shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of the Mortgagee and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien hereof shall not be impaired by any acceptance by the Mortgagee of any security for or guarantees of any of the Finance Obligations hereby secured, or by any failure, neglect or omission on the part of the Mortgagee to realize upon or protect any Finance Obligation hereby secured or any collateral security therefor including the other Finance Documents.

including the other Finance Documents or of any guarantee thereof, and the Mortgagee may at its discretion foreclose, exercise any power of sale, or exercise any other remedy available to it under any or all of the other Finance Documents without first exercising or enforcing any of its rights and remedies hereunder. Such exercise of the Mortgagee’s rights and remedies under any or all of the other Finance Documents shall not in any manner impair the Finance Obligations or the lien of this Mortgage and any exercise of the rights or remedies of the Mortgagee hereunder shall not impair the lien of any of the other Finance Documents or any of the Mortgagee’s rights and remedies thereunder. The undersigned specifically consents and agrees that the Mortgagee may exercise its rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Finance Documents separately or concurrently and in any order that it may deem appropriate, and the undersigned waives any rights of subrogation. In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of this Mortgage and any other Finance Document, both documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of a conflict that cannot be resolved, the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement shall control and govern irrespective of the provisions of this Mortgage.

Section 5.06 Subrogation. This Mortgage is made with full substitution and subrogation of Mortgagee in and to all covenants and warranties by others heretofore given or made in respect of the Encumbered Property or any part thereof. To the extent that proceeds of the Finance Obligations are used to pay any outstanding lien, charge or prior encumbrance against the Encumbered Property, such proceeds have been or will be advanced by Mortgagee at Mortgagor’s request, and Mortgagee shall be subrogated to any and all rights and liens held by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, charges and prior encumbrances, irrespective of whether those liens, charges or encumbrances are released.

Section 5.07 Mortgagee Powers. Without affecting the liability of any other Person liable for the payment of any obligations herein mentioned and without affecting the lien or charge of this Mortgage upon any portion of the Encumbered Property not then or theretofore released as security for the full amount of all unpaid Finance Obligations, from time to time, regardless of consideration and without notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien, encumbrance, right, title or interest in or to the Encumbered Property, the Mortgagee may in accordance with the express terms and provisions of the Finance Documents (i) release any persons liable for or on any Finance Obligation, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of any Finance Obligation, (iii) modify the interest rate payable on the principal balance of the Finance Obligations, (iv) grant other indulgences, (v) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at any time at the Mortgagee’s option any parcel, portion or all of the Encumbered Property, (vi) take or release any other or additional security for any obligations herein mentioned or (vii) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in relation thereto.

Section 5.08 Enforceability of Mortgage. This Mortgage is deemed to be and may be enforced from time to time as an assignment, chattel mortgage, contract, mortgage, deed to secure debt, deed of trust, financing statement, real estate mortgage or security agreement, and from time to time as any one or more thereof, as is appropriate under applicable laws. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Mortgage or any financing statement in connection herewith shall be sufficient as a financing statement for any and all purposes.

Section 5.09 Amendments. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee. No failure by the Mortgagee to exercise, and no delay by the Mortgagee in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
