    12,029,375&#160;shares were outstanding as of the Record Date

    Annual Meeting, holders of Class&#160;A Common Stock will have
    one vote per share, and holders of Class&#160;B Common Stock
    will have ten votes per share. All outstanding shares of Voting
    Stock are entitled to vote as a single class on all proposals
    submitted to a vote at the Annual Meeting. A quorum being
    present, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes
    cast and each of the other proposals referred to in the
    accompanying Notice of Meeting will become effective if a
    majority of the votes cast by shares entitled to vote on the
    proposal are cast in favor thereof. Under the rules of the New
    York Stock Exchange, brokers who are voting shares held in
    street name have the discretion to vote shares on routine
    matters but not on non-routine matters. Routine matters include
    ratification of independent public accountants. Non-routine
    matters include the election of directors. Broker non-votes and
    abstentions will be counted to determine a quorum. For elections
    of directors, withheld votes and broker non-votes will not be
    counted toward that nominee&#146;s achievement of a plurality.
    Abstentions and broker non-votes on other matters, including
    ratification of independent public accountants, are not
    considered to have been voted for or against such proposals and
    have the practical effect of reducing the number of affirmative
    votes required to achieve a majority by reducing the total
    number of shares from which the majority of votes cast is
    calculated.

    Nine directors currently serve on Sonic&#146;s Board of
    Directors. Under our Bylaws, the director nominees chosen to
    succeed those directors whose terms expire at an annual meeting
    of stockholders are elected by the stockholders for a one-year
    term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders. Any
    director appointed by the Board of Directors as a result of a
    newly created directorship or to fill a vacancy on the Board of
    Directors will hold office until the next annual meeting of
    stockholders. All directors&#146; terms expire and their
    successors will be elected at the Annual Meeting and each annual

    At the Annual Meeting, we intend to vote the proxies in the
    accompanying form for the election of O.&#160;Bruton Smith,

    elected, for a one-year term until the 2011 annual meeting of
    stockholders or until his successor is elected and qualified,
    except as otherwise provided in our Charter and Bylaws. All of
    the nominees are presently directors of Sonic and are standing
    for re-election. Due to the passing of long-time director,
    William P. Benton, in February 2009, and the prior resignation
    of another director, two seats on the Board of Directors will be
    vacant following the Annual Meeting. Because the Nominating and
    Corporate Governance Committee (the &#147;NCG Committee&#148;)
    of our Board of Directors has not selected a qualified candidate
    or candidates, the Board of Directors has elected not to fill
    these vacancies at the Annual Meeting. If for any reason any
    nominee named above is not a candidate when the election occurs,
    we intend to vote proxies in the accompanying form for the
    election of the other nominees named above and may vote them for
    any substitute nominee or, in lieu thereof, our Board of
    Directors may reduce the number of directors in accordance with

    Our Board of Directors has determined that currently a majority

    Sonic&#146;s board committees, are &#147;independent&#148;
    within the meaning of the NYSE&#146;s current listing standards
    and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Board&#146;s
    determination was based on its assessment of each
    director&#146;s relationship with Sonic and the materiality of
    that relationship in light of all relevant facts and
    circumstances, not only from the standpoint of the director in
    his or her individual capacity, but also from the standpoint of
    the persons to which the director is related and organizations
    with which the director is affiliated. The Board of Directors
    applied Categorical Standards for Determination of Director
    Independence, which the Board adopted to assist it in evaluating
    the independence of each of its directors, and also considered
    the following transactions, relationships or arrangements. For
    Mr.&#160;Doolan, the Board of Directors considered his former
    affiliation with an automobile manufacturer. For Mr.&#160;Rewey,
    the Board of Directors considered his position as director of
    SMI and any transactions between Sonic and its subsidiaries and
    SMI and its subsidiaries. The Board of Directors also considered
    Mr.&#160;Rewey&#146;s position as a director of LoJack and any
    transactions between LoJack and Sonic and its subsidiaries and
    as a director of Dealer Tire, LLC and any relationships between
    Dealer Tire, LLC and Sonic and its subsidiaries or its executive
    officers. The Board of Directors determined that none of these
    transactions, relationships or arrangements impaired any of
    these individuals&#146; independence and that each of the
    independent directors met the Categorical Standards for
    Determination of Director Independence.

    implementation of policies, strategic initiatives and other
    actions designed to mitigate various types of risks. Specific
    examples of risks primarily overseen by the full Board of
    Directors include competition risks, industry risks, economic
    risks, liquidity risks, business operations risks and risks
    related to acquisitions and dispositions. Sonic&#146;s Audit
    Committee regularly reviews with management and the independent
    auditors significant financial risk exposures and the processes
    management has implemented to monitor, control and report such
    exposures. Specific examples of risks primarily overseen by the

    The Audit Committee has selected Ernst&#160;&#038; Young LLP to
    serve as the principal independent registered public accounting
    firm of Sonic for the fiscal year ending December&#160;31, 2010.
    Ernst&#160;&#038; Young LLP has acted in such capacity for Sonic
    since the Audit Committee approved the engagement of
    Ernst&#160;&#038; Young LLP and the dismissal of
    Deloitte&#160;&#038; Touche LLP as Sonic&#146;s principal
    independent registered public accounting firm on June&#160;9,
    2008.

    Ernst&#160;&#038; Young LLP&#146;s reports on the financial
    statements for each of the fiscal years ended December&#160;31,
    2008 and 2009 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer
    of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to
    uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. However, in
    connection with Ernst&#160;&#038; Young LLP&#146;s reports on
    the financial statements issued in connection with their audit
    for the year ended December&#160;31, 2008, Ernst&#160;&#038;
    Young LLP included an explanatory paragraph stating that at that
    time there was uncertainty related to Sonic&#146;s ability to
    remain in compliance with certain debt covenants through 2009
    and that this condition&#146;s impact on Sonic&#146;s liquidity
    raised substantial doubt about Sonic&#146;s ability to continue
    as a going concern at the end of fiscal year 2008. During the
    two fiscal years and any subsequent period preceding the date of
    the dismissal of Deloitte&#160;&#038; Touche LLP, there were no
    disagreements with Deloitte&#160;&#038; Touche LLP on any matter
    of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
    disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which, if not
    resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte&#160;&#038; Touche LLP
    would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of
    the disagreements in connection with its report. During the same
    periods, there were no reportable events as defined in

    ratification as a matter of good corporate practice and will
    reconsider whether to retain Ernst&#160;&#038; Young LLP if the

    Sonic&#146;s executive compensation program is comprised
    primarily of two components: annual cash compensation, paid in
    the form of annual salary and performance-based bonuses, and
    long-term compensation, paid principally in the form of
    performance-based restricted shares of, and options to purchase,
    Sonic&#146;s Class&#160;A Common Stock. This compensation
    program is designed to place emphasis on performance-based
    compensation. The Compensation Committee typically reviews and
    adjusts base salaries and awards of cash bonuses and
    equity-based compensation in the first quarter of each year
    based on several factors, including management&#146;s
    recommendations approved by the Chief Executive Officer.
    Management&#146;s recommendations are developed under the
    supervision of the Chief Executive Officer through a
    collaborative process involving members of Sonic&#146;s senior
    management team. The President and the Chief Financial Officer
    presented management&#146;s written recommendations, reports and
    proposals on 2009 compensation to the Compensation Committee.
    These recommendations and proposals addressed topics such as
    base salaries, overall structure, target levels and payout
    levels for the annual cash bonus program under Sonic&#146;s
    Incentive Compensation Plan, equity awards to executive officers
    and a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, and
    management&#146;s rationale for these recommendations. The
    Compensation Committee considered these recommendations before
    determining compensation.

    Annual cash compensation for Sonic&#146;s executive officers
    consists of a base salary and the potential for an annual
    performance-based cash bonus. The annual cash compensation paid
    by Sonic to its executive officers during 2009 was targeted to
    be competitive principally in relation to other automotive
    retailing companies (such as those included in the Peer Group
    Index in the performance graph appearing in our annual report to
    stockholders). While the Compensation Committee analyzes the
    competitiveness of annual cash compensation paid by Sonic to its
    executives in comparison to data from comparable companies, the
    Compensation Committee has not adopted any specific benchmarks
    for compensation of Sonic&#146;s executives in comparison to
    other companies. In December 2007, the Compensation Committee
    engaged the Hay Group, an independent consulting firm that
    specializes in executive compensation, to provide an analysis of
    the competitiveness of annual cash compensation paid by Sonic to
    its executives and to advise on 2008 executive officer
    compensation based on two peer groups selected by the Hay Group,
    one consisting of the auto retail sector and the second a
    broader group consisting of the auto retail sector plus several
    other companies identified by Hay Group as comparable to Sonic.
    In its report, Hay Group provided a comparison of financial and
    operating metrics; a comparison of base salary, total cash
    compensation and total direct compensation of each executive
    officer; a performance analysis of total shareholder return for
    one year and three years, sales growth, compounded EBIT and
    return on investment and a competitive analysis of the
    compensation structure of Sonic&#146;s Chief Executive Officer,
    President and Chief Financial Officer. The Compensation
    Committee referred to this report when determining executive
    compensation for 2008 and also in 2009. The Compensation
    Committee also considered the compensation of executives of some
    retail companies not included in the Peer Group Index, including
    Advance Auto Parts, Inc., AutoZone, Inc., Circuit City Stores,
    Inc., Dollar Tree Stores, Inc., Family Dollar Stores, Inc.,
    Genuine Parts Co., Hertz Global Holding, Inc., IKON Office
    Solutions and Office Depot, Inc. In preparation for determining
    executive compensation for 2010, the Compensation Committee
    again engaged Hay Group in July 2009 to provide an analysis of
    the competitiveness of base salaries, total cash compensation
    (base salary plus cash bonus) and total direct compensation
    (total cash compensation plus the value of long-term
    incentives), as well as a review of perquisites and executive
    benefits, paid by Sonic to its executive officers in comparison
    to Sonic&#146;s publicly traded automotive retail peer companies
    (Asbury Automotive Group, Inc., AutoNation, Inc., CarMax, Inc.,
    Group 1 Automotive, Inc., Lithia Motors, Inc., and Penske
    Automotive Group, Inc.) and certain other companies recommended
    by Hay Group as appropriate for comparison (Advance Auto Parts,
    Inc., AutoZone, Inc., Avis-Budget Group, Inc., Dollar Tree
    Stores, Inc., Family Dollar Stores, Inc., Genuine Parts Co.,
    Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and The Pep Boys&#160;&#151; Manny,

    The base salaries of Sonic&#146;s executive officers and
    adjustments to executive officers&#146; base salaries are
    generally based upon a subjective evaluation of the
    executive&#146;s performance by the Compensation Committee,
    executive compensation of comparable companies and
    management&#146;s recommendations. The Compensation
    Committee&#146;s evaluation is based upon non-quantitative
    factors such as the current responsibilities of each executive
    officer, the compensation of similarly situated executive
    officers of comparable companies, the performance of each
    executive officer during the prior calendar year (including
    subjective and objective evaluations of the performance of
    business units and functions under the particular
    executive&#146;s supervision), and competitive factors and
    retention purposes. In February 2009, the Compensation Committee
    approved an increase in the annual base salary of Mr.&#160;David
    Smith to $605,000 retroactive to January&#160;1, 2009, in
    consideration of his recent promotion by Sonic&#146;s Board of
    Directors to the position of Executive Vice President, his
    current responsibilities in that executive officer position, and
    the compensation of similarly situated officers of Sonic. The
    Compensation Committee did not adjust the base salaries of any
    other executive officer for fiscal 2009.

    January&#160;1, 2009 and ending December&#160;31, 2009, with

    Compensation Committee established two categories of performance

    share (&#147;EPS&#148;) levels and customer satisfaction
    performance for Sonic&#146;s dealerships in specified major
    brands.

    EPS was selected as the primary performance goal with the
    objective to closely align the executive officers&#146; cash
    bonuses with profitability delivered to Sonic&#146;s
    stockholders during 2009. For purposes of the Incentive
    Compensation Plan performance goals in 2009, EPS was defined as
    (A)&#160;Sonic&#146;s net income determined in accordance with
    U.S.&#160;generally accepted accounting principles
    (&#147;GAAP&#148;), adjusted to fix the income tax rate on
    continuing and discontinued operations at 40.0% and to take into
    account the timing of the disposition of dealerships during 2009
    such that the budget and actual performance of dealerships
    disposed of during 2009 shall be included in the calculation
    only for the period up to the date of such disposition, and
    excluding the effects of (i)&#160;any gain or loss recognized by
    Sonic on the disposition of dealerships (including asset or
    lease impairment charges related to a decision to sell a
    particular dealership), (ii)&#160;asset write-downs and
    impairment charges, (iii)&#160;any adjustments to the estimated
    goodwill impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of
    2008, (iv)&#160;debt restructuring charges and costs and
    (v)&#160;the cumulative effect of any changes in GAAP during
    2009, divided by (B)&#160;a diluted weighted average share count
    of 40,000,000&#160;shares. Giving consideration to the severely
    negative economic conditions, credit market conditions and auto
    retail industry conditions prevailing in late 2008 and early
    2009, and the difficulty in forecasting the timing and extent of
    a future recovery in the U.S.&#160;economy and vehicle sales,
    the Committee determined that for the 2009 cash bonus program,
    the EPS minimum, target and maximum objectives would be
    determined by reference to the actual volume of industry-wide
    new vehicles sold in the United States during the 2009 calendar
    year as reported by Autodata Corporation (the &#147;2009
    Industry Volume Level&#148;). The performance objectives
    established for defined EPS levels applicable to each of
    Messrs.&#160;Bruton Smith, Scott Smith, Cosper, Dyke and David
    Smith were established by the Compensation Committee on
    March&#160;30, 2009 as follows: for a 2009 Industry Volume Level
    of 9.0&#160;million, the target EPS objective was $0.00, the
    maximum EPS objective was $0.02 and there would be no EPS bonus
    payable for less than the target EPS objective; for a 2009
    Industry Volume Level of 10.0&#160;million, the minimum EPS
    objective was $0.06, the target EPS objective was $0.07 and the
    maximum EPS objective was $0.08; and for a 2009 Industry Volume
    Level of 11.0&#160;million, the minimum EPS objective was $0.32,
    the target EPS objective was $0.40 and the maximum objective was
    $0.44. The EPS-Based bonus payable was computed as a percentage
    of the respective executive officer&#146;s annual base salary,
    with no bonus paid for performance below the minimum objective
    for defined EPS (and at a 2009 Industry Volume Level of
    9.0&#160;million, no EPS bonus paid below the target EPS
    objective); a bonus of 35% of annual base salary for achieving
    the minimum objective for defined EPS; a bonus of 95% of annual
    base salary for achieving the target objective for defined EPS;
    and a maximum bonus of 130% of annual base salary for achieving
    the maximum objective for defined EPS. For performance achieved
    that fell between two defined objectives, the Compensation
    Committee determined that the bonus payable would equal a pro
    rata amount of the bonus level between the two applicable
    defined objectives. The bonus payable would not exceed 130% of
    annual base salary for performance achieved above the maximum
    objective. In addition, if Sonic&#146;s achieved defined EPS for
    2009 was less than the break-even level of $0.00, or a loss, no
    EPS bonus would be paid pursuant to the Incentive Compensation
    Plan, regardless of the 2009 Industry Volume Level. The target
    objective for defined EPS established by the Committee at
    specified 2009 Industry Volume Levels were selected to align
    closely with the mid-point of the range of management&#146;s
    internal forecast at such time for net income from continuing
    operations for 2009 at the specified 2009 Industry Volume
    Levels, giving effect to management&#146;s internal forecast at
    such time for anticipated loss from discontinued operations for
    2009, other anticipated relevant information, and fixing the
    share count at management&#146;s forecast at such time for
    diluted weighted average share count for 2009. After
    establishing the target objectives for the specified 2009
    Industry Volume Levels, the minimum objectives for defined EPS
    at the specified 2009 Industry Volume Levels were established at
    80% of the target objective at such specified 2009 Industry
    Volume Level, and the maximum objectives for defined EPS at the
    specified 2009 Industry Volume Levels were established at 110%
    of the target

    Customer satisfaction (&#147;CSI&#148;) performance in specified
    major brands was selected as the other performance goal in order
    to align the executive officers&#146; cash bonuses with two
    other important company goals: meeting the expectations of our
    dealership customers and meeting the expectations of our
    manufacturers. The CSI performance objective was based on the
    percentage of Sonic&#146;s dealerships in specified major
    brands, as reported by the applicable manufacturer, which met or
    exceeded their applicable manufacturer&#146;s objective CSI
    standard for approval of dealership acquisitions for the
    performance period ending as of December&#160;31, 2009. Only
    dealerships owned by Sonic for the entire 2009 calendar year
    were to be included in determining achievement of the CSI
    performance goals. The performance objectives established for
    CSI performance applicable to each of Messrs.&#160;Bruton Smith,
    Scott Smith, Cosper, Dyke and David Smith were established by
    the Compensation Committee on March&#160;30, 2009 as follows: no
    bonus paid for performance below the minimum objective of 65% of
    such dealerships achieving the requisite CSI performance; a
    bonus of 10% of annual base salary for achieving the minimum
    objective of 65% of such dealerships achieving the requisite CSI
    performance; a bonus of 20% of annual base salary for achieving
    the target objective of 70% of such dealerships achieving the
    requisite CSI performance; and a maximum bonus of 30% of annual
    base salary for achieving the maximum objective of 75% of such
    dealerships achieving the requisite CSI performance. For
    performance achieved that fell between two defined objectives,
    the Compensation Committee determined that the bonus payable
    would equal a pro rata amount of the bonus level between the two
    applicable defined objectives. For performance achieved above
    the maximum objective, the bonus payable for the CSI component
    would be capped out at 30% of annual base salary. In
    establishing these bonus award amounts and performance goals,
    the Compensation Committee expressly reserved the right to
    reduce bonus awards in the event that the Compensation Committee
    determined that subjective or other factors warranted a
    reduction. In establishing the potential bonus awards for each
    executive officer, the Compensation Committee chose to more
    heavily weight the EPS component to more closely tie the
    executive&#146;s bonus to the profitability the stockholders
    receive. Consistent with the terms of the Incentive Compensation
    Plan in effect at such time, the Compensation Committee also
    capped the aggregate cash bonus payable to any executive officer
    at a $3&#160;million maximum amount.

    On February&#160;26, 2010, based on management&#146;s report
    regarding Sonic&#146;s performance against the performance-based
    goals, the Compensation Committee certified that the objective,
    performance-based criteria for the defined EPS component had
    been met at the maximum objective level because Sonic achieved a
    defined EPS of $0.70 for a 2009 Industry Volume Level of
    10.4&#160;million and the CSI component had been met at the
    maximum objective level because 82.0% of the applicable
    dealerships had met or exceeded the requisite CSI performance.
    This resulted in bonuses for each criterion as follows: 130% of
    annual base salary for the defined EPS component and 30% of
    annual base salary for the CSI component. As a result, the
    Compensation Committee authorized award amounts for each of the
    executive officers for the specified levels of achievement
    within those performance categories in the following amounts:
    $1,760,000 for Bruton Smith; $1,520,000 for Scott Smith,
    $1,120,000 for David Cosper, $1,200,000 for Jeff Dyke and
    $968,000 for David Smith. The Compensation Committee approved
    payment of these award amounts on or promptly after
    February&#160;26, 2010.

    The Compensation Committee believes that equity-based
    compensation is an effective means of aligning the long-term
    interests of Sonic&#146;s key officers and employees with those
    of its stockholders and provides incentives to attract and
    retain and to encourage equity ownership by key officers and
    employees providing service to Sonic and its subsidiaries upon
    whose efforts Sonic&#146;s success and future growth depends.
    Sonic&#146;s long-term compensation program is based principally
    upon awards of performance-based restricted shares of and
    options to purchase Sonic&#146;s Class&#160;A Common Stock under
    the Sonic Automotive, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan (the

    2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the &#147;Stock Incentive

    In March 2009, giving consideration to the very difficult
    economic environment for the automobile retail industry, the
    difficulty in forecasting anticipated EPS during the 2009
    calendar year for purposes of performance-based restricted stock
    and restricted stock unit grants, and the potential dilutive
    impact of restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants
    consistent in dollar value to historical grants to Sonic&#146;s
    executive officers at the low market stock price for Sonic at
    the time (closing price of $1.81 per share on March&#160;30,
    2009), the Compensation Committee determined it was in the best
    interests of Sonic&#146;s stockholders to grant stock options to
    executive officers of Sonic for the 2009 calendar year rather
    than performance-based restricted stock and restricted stock
    units. On March&#160;30, 2009, the Compensation Committee
    awarded stock options to purchase shares of Class&#160;A common
    stock in the following amounts: Mr.&#160;O. Bruton Smith,
    183,333; Mr.&#160;B. Scott Smith, 158,333; Mr.&#160;David
    Cosper, 116,667; Mr.&#160;Jeff Dyke, 125,000; and Mr.&#160;David
    Smith, 100,833. The stock options have an exercise price equal
    to the closing stock price on the date of grant ($1.81) and vest
    in three equal annual installments beginning on the first
    anniversary of the date of grant. In December 2009, the
    Compensation Committee again evaluated the form of equity
    compensation grants to executive officers, and, after giving
    consideration to the more stabilized economic conditions,
    automotive industry conditions and market valuation of
    Sonic&#146;s stock, has determined to return to awards of
    performance-based restricted stock and restricted stock units to
    the executive officers during 2010.

    Executive officers of Sonic (including the Chief Executive
    Officer) were also eligible to participate in the Sonic
    Automotive, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the &#147;Deferred

    officers could elect to defer a portion of their annual cash
    compensation, up to 75% of base salary and up to 100% of
    eligible incentive bonus amounts. During 2009, Sonic made cash
    matching contributions of 20% of the amount deferred by the
    employee, not to exceed $10,000 per year in matching
    contributions, but Sonic has since suspended such cash matching
    contributions effective January&#160;1, 2010. Sonic may also
    make supplemental contributions for eligible employees to make
    up for the additional matching contributions the employees would
    have received under Sonic&#146;s 401(k) plan in the absence of
    legal limitations on the amount of compensation that could be
    considered under the 401(k) plan (e.g., $245,000 for 2009).
    Sonic&#146;s contributions generally vest based on an
    employee&#146;s full years of Deferred Plan participation with
    20% vesting for each year so that an employee is fully vested
    after five years of participation. Participation in the Deferred
    Plan is offered annually to a select group of our management and
    highly compensated employees. Contributions by participants in
    the Deferred Plan, including the executive officers, are
    credited with a rate of return (positive or negative) based on
    deemed investments selected by a participant from among several
    different investment funds offered by the third-party

    Compensation Committee designates the employees who will become
    SERP participants and may require that such employees execute a
    participation agreement as a condition of participation. On
    December&#160;7, 2009, the Compensation Committee designated
    David P. Cosper, Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, and
    Jeff Dyke, Executive Vice President of Operations, as
    Tier&#160;1 participants in the SERP effective as of
    January&#160;1, 2010, but in each case subject to his execution
    of a participation agreement. The Compensation Committee also
    administers the SERP and has the discretionary authority to
    make, amend, interpret and enforce appropriate rules for the
    administration of the SERP and to utilize its discretion to
    decide all questions and interpretations that may arise in
    connection with the SERP.

    Upon a participant&#146;s &#147;normal retirement,&#148; the
    SERP generally provides an accrued benefit in the form of an
    annual payment equal to a specified percentage of the
    participant&#146;s &#147;final average salary&#148; for a period
    of 15&#160;years. Final average salary generally means the
    average of the participant&#146;s highest three annual base
    salaries during the last five plan years prior to the
    participant&#146;s separation from service with Sonic. A
    participant is generally eligible for the normal retirement
    benefit upon retirement after reaching age&#160;65 or
    age&#160;55 with at least 10&#160;years of employment with
    Sonic. When the Compensation Committee designates an employee as
    a SERP participant, it also designates the employee as a
    Tier&#160;1 participant, Tier&#160;2 participant or Tier&#160;3
    participant. The annual payments to a Tier&#160;1 participant
    are 50% of final average salary. The annual payments to a
    Tier&#160;2 participant are 40% of final average salary. The
    annual payments to a Tier&#160;3 participant are 35% of final
    average salary.

    If a participant dies during the

    terminating employment with Sonic, the lump sum value of his
    accrued benefit (calculated as if the date of death were the
    date of normal retirement) will be paid to his designated
    beneficiary. If a participant becomes disabled while employed

    under the SERP, including any remaining unpaid benefits if
    already in pay status. If already in pay status, the SERP also
    provides that the participant must repay Sonic all benefit
    amounts previously received. Under the SERP, reasons
    constituting &#147;cause&#148; include material breach of the
    participant&#146;s obligations in any employment agreement which
    is not timely remedied, the participant&#146;s breach of any

    In addition, the SERP provides that benefits are forfeited if a
    participant fails to comply with certain restrictive covenants
    related to Sonic and its business, including any remaining
    unpaid benefits if already in pay status. If already in pay
    status, the SERP also provides that the participant must repay
    Sonic all benefit amounts previously received. Subject to
    limited exceptions, these restrictive covenants generally
    prohibit (i)&#160;disclosing or using in any unauthorized manner
    any of Sonic&#146;s confidential or proprietary information,
    (ii)&#160;employing or soliciting employees of Sonic, its
    affiliates or subsidiaries, (iii)&#160;interfering with
    Sonic&#146;s relationships with its vendors, (iv)&#160;competing
    with Sonic within any Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area or
    county in which Sonic or any of its subsidiaries has a place of
    business, and (v)&#160;disparaging Sonic, its subsidiaries,
    affiliates, officers, directors, business or products. These
    restrictive covenants generally apply while a participant in the
    SERP, and if later, during the two-year period following
    separation from service with Sonic (except that the
    confidentiality and non-disparagement restrictions do not
    expire).

    As noted above, the compensation paid to Sonic&#146;s executive
    officers is based primarily on the performance of Sonic.
    Section&#160;162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
    amended (the &#147;Code&#148;) generally limits Sonic&#146;s
    annual federal income tax deduction for compensation paid to
    certain covered employees (generally, the Chief Executive
    Officer and certain other executive officers subject to
    Section&#160;162(m) of the Code) to $1&#160;million with respect
    to each such executive officer, unless the compensation
    qualifies as &#147;performance-based.&#148; Executive officer
    compensation attributable to the exercise of stock options
    granted under the Stock Option Plan and Stock Incentive Plan,
    awards of performance-based restricted stock or
    performance-based restricted stock units pursuant to the Stock
    Incentive Plan and annual cash bonuses paid under the Incentive
    Compensation Plan generally are intended to qualify as fully
    deductible performance-based compensation. The Compensation
    Committee intends to continue to manage Sonic&#146;s executive
    compensation program in a manner that will preserve federal
    income tax deductions. However, the Compensation Committee also
    must approach executive compensation in a manner which will
    attract, motivate and retain key personnel whose performance
    increases the value of Sonic. Accordingly, the Compensation
    Committee may from time to time exercise its discretion to award
    compensation that may not be deductible under
    Section&#160;162(m) of the Code when in its judgment such award
    would be in the interests of Sonic.

    The Company offers its executive officers and other key
    employees the opportunity to participate in the Deferred Plan.
    We believe the Deferred Plan is an important tool for recruiting
    key employees and assists in employee retention. The Deferred
    Plan was amended and restated in 2008 in connection with
    requirements under Section&#160;409A of the Internal Revenue
    Code (&#147;Section&#160;409A&#148;). Beginning in 2009, our
    non-employee directors also became eligible to participate in
    the Deferred Plan. The following is a brief description of
    certain material terms of the Deferred Plan.
</DIV>

<DIV style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt">&nbsp;</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="text-align:justify; margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 7%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: #FFFFFF">
    Under the Deferred Plan, executive officers can elect to defer
    receipt of salary and certain bonus payments. For 2009, eligible
    employees could elect to defer up to 75% of base salary and up
    to 100% of eligible incentive bonus amounts, without a maximum
    dollar limit on the amount of compensation that could be
    deferred. Beginning in 2009, non-employee directors also can
    elect to defer up to 100% of their annual retainer and meeting
    fees payable for their service on our Board of Directors and the
    applicable committees of our Board of Directors. Deferral
    elections generally are required to be made prior to the
    beginning of each year in accordance with Section&#160;409A.
    Participants are always 100% vested in their own deferrals.
</DIV>

<DIV style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt">&nbsp;</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="text-align:justify; margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 7%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; color: #000000; background: #FFFFFF">
    During 2009, the Company made matching contributions of 20% of
    the amount deferred by each employee, not to exceed $10,000 per
    year in matching contributions, but Sonic has since suspended
    such cash matching contributions effective January&#160;1, 2010.
    The Company may also contribute supplemental amounts for
    eligible employees to make up for the additional matching
    contributions the employees would have received under the
    Company&#146;s 401(k) plan in the absence of legal limitations
    on the amount of compensation that could be considered under the
    401(k) plan (e.g., $245,000 for 2009). The matching and
    supplemental contributions (and related deemed earnings)
    generally vest based on an employee&#146;s full years of
    participation under the Deferred Plan, with 20% vesting after
    one full year of participation and increasing an additional 20%
    each year thereafter with 100% vesting after five full years of
    participation. Participants also become 100% vested in the event
    of qualifying retirement, disability, death, a change in control
    of the Company or termination of the Deferred Plan. The Company
    also has the discretion to make additional contributions to the
    Deferred Plan and to set the vesting schedule for any such
    amounts. Non-employee directors do not receive Company
    contributions.

    Contributions by participants in the Deferred Plan, including
    the executive officers and non-employee directors, are credited
    with a rate of return (positive or negative) based on deemed
    investments selected by a participant from among a number of
    investment funds, with such deemed earnings determined by the
    actual market performance of the investment funds selected by
    the participant. Participants generally may change their deemed
    investment selections on a daily basis. The Company is not
    required to make actual investments that correspond to the
    investment crediting options selected by participants. The
    following table lists each deemed investment choice available
    under the Deferred Plan and its annual return for the calendar

    At the time a participant makes an election to defer
    compensation under the Deferred Plan, the participant also must
    select the time and form of distribution for such deferred
    amount. A participant can elect to defer compensation for a
    specified period of time or until retirement or other
    termination of service. If a participant defers compensation to
    a specified future date, he or she can elect payment in a lump
    sum or in two to five annual installments. Compensation that is
    deferred until retirement or other termination of service can be
    paid in a lump sum or in up to ten annual installments. Account
    balances less than a designated threshold may be distributed in
    a lump sum. For certain &#147;specified employees&#148; subject
    to special rules under Section&#160;409A (including the named
    executive officers), deferred compensation payments that are
    triggered by termination of service must be delayed for at least
    six months following termination. Participants will
    automatically receive their account balances in a lump sum
    distribution if service is terminated within two years after a
    change of control. Hardship withdrawals also may be available in
    the event of an unforeseen financial emergency beyond the
    participant&#146;s control. For compensation that was deferred
    and vested before 2005 (and, therefore, not subject to
    Section&#160;409A), a participant can request a withdrawal at
    any time (for a minimum of $5,000), subject to forfeiture of 10%
    of the withdrawal amount and suspension from participation in
    the Deferred Plan for the next calendar year. Participants can
    change their prior distribution elections only in limited
    circumstances, and in the case of amounts subject to
    Section&#160;409A, only in accordance with the restrictions
    under Section&#160;409A (including an opportunity provided in
    2008 to change prior distribution elections pursuant to
    transition rules under Section&#160;409A). All distributions are
    made in cash.

    Amounts deferred under the Deferred Plan and related earnings
    are held in a &#147;rabbi&#148; trust that has been established
    by the Company to hold assets separate from other Company assets
    for the purpose of paying future benefits. However, in order to
    maintain the tax-deferred status of the Deferred Plan, the
    assets of the rabbi trust are available to general creditors of
    the Company in the event of the Company&#146;s insolvency.
    Participants do not have an ownership interest in rabbi trust
    assets or in any other specific assets of the Company with
    respect to their Deferred Plan benefits. Participants are
    unsecured general creditors of the Company with respect to
    payment of their benefits under the Deferred Compensation Plan.

    (ii)&#160;employing or soliciting Sonic&#146;s employees,

    Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area or county in which Sonic
    has a place of business on the date of expiration or termination
    of the Employment Agreement and apply for a period of two years

    The Employment Agreement also provides for severance

    Mr.&#160;Cosper&#146;s employment by Sonic without cause or if
    Sonic elects to not renew Mr.&#160;Cosper&#146;s employment. If
    Mr.&#160;Cosper&#146;s employment were terminated without cause,
    the Employment Agreement provides that he would be entitled to
    receive his annual salary as of the date of termination for one
    year and an amount equal to the average annual bonuses he
    previously received and that shares of restricted stock granted
    pursuant to the Employment Agreement vest upon the termination.
    Under the terms of Mr.&#160;Cosper&#146;s employment agreement,
    cash amounts payable to Mr.&#160;Cosper would be paid:

    month following the date of termination and (ii)&#160;the
    remainder in six equal monthly installments commencing at the
    end of the eighth full month following the date of termination.

    Mr.&#160;Cosper&#146;s options to purchase Sonic&#146;s
    Class&#160;A Common Stock, if any, that immediately vest upon
    termination of the Employment Agreement are subject to

    The Nonqualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
    &#147;Nonqualified ESPP&#148;) was adopted by the Board of
    Directors of Sonic on December&#160;11, 1998. The Nonqualified
    ESPP has not been approved by Sonic&#146;s stockholders. The
    purpose of the Nonqualified ESPP is to provide employees of
    certain subsidiaries that are not able to participate in
    Sonic&#146;s Employee Plan with a similar opportunity to acquire
    an ownership interest in Sonic. Both the Nonqualified ESPP and
    the Employee Plan permit eligible employees to purchase shares
    of Class&#160;A Common Stock at a discount from the market
    price. The terms of the Nonqualified ESPP are substantially
    similar to the terms of the Employee Plan, which has been
    approved by Sonic&#146;s stockholders.

    The total number of shares of Class&#160;A Common Stock that
    were reserved for issuance under the Nonqualified ESPP is
    300,000. Approximately 210,364 additional shares remain
    available for future option grants under the Nonqualified ESPP.

    Employees of participating subsidiaries generally are eligible
    for the Nonqualified ESPP if they work for Sonic and its
    subsidiaries on a full-time or part-time basis, are regularly
    scheduled to work more than twenty hours per week, are
    customarily employed more than five months in a calendar year
    and have completed one year of continuous service. Employees who
    are officers or directors of Sonic or any participating employer
    are not eligible to participate in the Nonqualified ESPP. In
    addition, employees who own or hold options to purchase (or who
    are treated under certain tax rules as owning or holding options
    to purchase) 5% or more of the total combined voting power or
    value of all classes of stock of Sonic or any subsidiary also
    are not eligible to participate in the Nonqualified ESPP.

    Options generally are granted under the Nonqualified ESPP as of
    each January 1 to all eligible employees who elect to
    participate. However, grants under the Nonqualified ESPP have
    been suspended and no grants have been made since
    January&#160;1, 2005. The Compensation Committee designates the
    number of shares of Class&#160;A Common Stock that can be
    purchased under each option, which number will be the same for
    each option granted on the same date and which also will be the
    same number of shares available under an option granted on the
    same date pursuant to the Employee Plan. The options have an
    exercise price per share equal to the lesser of (i)&#160;85% of
    the fair market value per share of the Class&#160;A Common Stock
    on the date of grant or (ii)&#160;85% of such fair market value
    on the date of exercise. No option can be granted which would
    permit a participant to purchase more than $25,000 worth of
    stock under the Nonqualified ESPP during the calendar year.

    A participant can make contributions to the Nonqualified ESPP by
    after-tax payroll deduction or direct payment. To the extent
    that a participant has made contributions to the Nonqualified
    ESPP, his or her option will be exercised automatically to
    purchase Class&#160;A Common Stock on each exercise date during
    the calendar year in which the option is granted. The exercise
    dates generally are the last business day of March, June,
    September and December on which the NYSE is open for trading.
    The participant&#146;s accumulated contributions as of each
    exercise date will be used to purchase whole shares of
    Class&#160;A Common Stock at the applicable option price,
    limited to the number of shares available for purchase under the
    option. The exercisability of options may accelerate in the
    event of a change in control of Sonic.

    In the event of certain changes in the capital stock of Sonic
    due to a reorganization, stock split, stock dividend, merger or
    other similar event, appropriate adjustments generally will be

    committee receives an additional annual cash retainer of
    $10,000, and the chairperson of the nominating and corporate
    governance committee receives an additional annual cash retainer
    of $7,500. Each non-employee director also receives $2,000 for
    each board meeting attended in person and $1,000 for each board
    meeting attended telephonically. In addition, committee members
    receive the following fees for attending meetings of a committee
    on which they serve: $2,000 for each audit committee meeting
    attended in person or telephonically; and $1,500 for each other
    committee meeting attended in person and $1,000 for each other
    committee meeting attended telephonically. Beginning in 2009,
    non-employee directors became eligible to participate in the
    Deferred Plan and can elect to defer up to 100% of their annual
    cash retainer and meeting fees under the Deferred Plan. No
    non-employee directors elected to participate in the Deferred
    Plan for 2009. Please see the discussion under
    &#147;&#151;Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans for
    2009&#148; for further information about the Deferred Plan.

    Non-employee directors also receive automatic grants of
    restricted stock during each year of service under the 2005
    Formula Plan. The annual grant of restricted stock is made to
    each eligible non-employee director on the first business day
    following each annual meeting of Sonic&#146;s stockholders. The
    number of restricted shares of Class&#160;A Common Stock granted
    to an eligible non-employee director each year generally will
    equal $60,000 divided by the average closing sale price of the
    Class&#160;A Common Stock on the NYSE for the twenty trading
    days immediately prior to the grant date (rounded up to the
    nearest whole share). However, the 2005 Formula Plan was amended
    with stockholder approval at the annual stockholders&#146;
    meeting in 2009 to limit the number of shares that could be
    granted to a non-employee director during 2009 to
    15,000&#160;shares. Subject to the director&#146;s continued
    service on Sonic&#146;s Board, the restricted stock will vest in
    full on the first anniversary of the grant date or, if earlier,
    the day before the next annual meeting of Sonic&#146;s
    stockholders following the grant date. If a non-employee
    director initially becomes a member of Sonic&#146;s Board of
    Directors during any calendar year, but after the meeting of
    Sonic&#146;s stockholders for that year, the non-employee
    director will receive a restricted stock grant upon his or her
    appointment to the Board with the number of shares determined as
    described above. Subject to the director&#146;s continued
    service on Sonic&#146;s Board, the restricted stock will vest in
    full on the first anniversary of the grant date.

    Shares of restricted stock may not be sold, assigned, pledged or
    otherwise transferred to the extent they remain unvested. A
    director holding restricted stock will have the right to vote
    his or her shares of restricted stock and receive dividends (if
    any), although dividends paid in shares will be considered
    restricted stock. If a director&#146;s service on the Board
    terminates for any reason, all shares of restricted stock not
    vested at the time of such termination are forfeited. Upon
    either the consummation of a tender or exchange offer that
    constitutes a &#147;change in control&#148; (as defined in the
    2005 Formula Plan) of Sonic or the third business day prior to
    the effective date of any other &#147;change in control&#148; of
    Sonic, all outstanding restricted stock generally will become
    fully vested.

    floor plan financing and for working capital and general

    to the Old Facility that, among other things, reduced the amount
    available for borrowing under the Old Facility and limited the
    use of proceeds from those borrowings. During the term of the
    Old Facility, the amount available for borrowing was subject to
