<P align="center">
<B>FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS</B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
This prospectus includes forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These statements relate to analyses and other information which
are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of
amounts not yet determinable. These statements also relate to
our future prospects, developments and business strategies. The
statements contained in this prospectus that are not statements
of historical fact may include forward-looking statements that
involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
We have used the words &#147;anticipate,&#148;
&#147;believe,&#148; &#147;could,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148;
&#147;expect,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;may,&#148;
&#147;plan,&#148; &#147;predict,&#148; &#147;project,&#148;
&#147;will&#148; and similar terms and phrases, including
references to assumptions, in this prospectus to identify
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are
made based on our management&#146;s expectations and beliefs
concerning future events affecting us and are subject to
uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and
business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and
many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our
actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed
in or implied by these forward-looking statements. The factors
described under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148; are among
those that may cause actual results to differ materially from
the forward-looking statements. All of our forward-looking
statements should be considered in light of these factors. We
undertake no obligation to update our forward-looking statements
or risk factors to reflect new information, future events or
otherwise.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In addition, we have filed reports with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) that include
forward-looking statements relating to, among other things,
future prospects and estimated cost savings. Like the
forward-looking statements included in this prospectus, such
statements, which were based on estimates of amounts not yet
determinable, necessarily involve a number of risks and
uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and, in
many cases, are beyond our control.

<P align="center">
<B>INDUSTRY DATA</B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In this prospectus, we rely on and refer to information
regarding the automotive aftermarket industry from market
research reports, analyst reports and other publicly available
information including, without limitation, reports issued or
prepared by the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association, or
the AAIA, Automotive News Data, CNW Marketing/ Research, Lang
Marketing Resources, Inc., R.L. Polk, the U.S. Department of
Commerce and the U.S. Department of Transportation. Unless
otherwise indicated, all data in this prospectus relating to the
automotive aftermarket industry is for the year 2000 and has
been derived from the 2001 AAIA Aftermarket Fact book, which
cites various sources, including the U.S. Department of
Commerce. Although we believe that this information is reliable,
we cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of this
information, and we have not independently verified any of it.

    be above their initial offering price. The initial purchasers
    have advised us that they intend to make a market in the notes,
    but they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any
    market-making in the notes at any time in their sole discretion
    and without notice. Future trading prices of the notes on any
    market that may develop will depend on many factors, including
    our operating performance and financial condition, prevailing

We offer a broad selection of national brand name and generic
automotive products for domestic and imported cars and light
trucks. Our products include new and remanufactured automotive
replacement parts, maintenance items and accessories. Our stores
average approximately 7,290 square feet in size and typically
offer a store specific mix of between 13,000 and 18,000
stock-keeping units, or SKUs. We also operate a highly efficient
network of 39 strategically located depots to provide
approximately 75% of our stores an additional 65,000 SKUs on a
same-day delivery basis. Through our extensive on-line vendor
network, we make available up to an additional 250,000 SKUs on a
same-day delivery basis to approximately 75% of our stores and
up to 1,000,000 additional SKUs on a next-day delivery basis to
substantially all of our stores.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
We serve both the do-it-yourself (DIY)&nbsp;and the commercial
installer, or do-it-for-me (DIFM), markets. The DIY market,
which is comprised of consumers who typically repair and
maintain vehicles themselves, is the foundation of our business.
Sales to the DIY market represented approximately 82% of our net
sales for the fiscal year ended February&nbsp;3, 2002. The DIFM
market is comprised of auto repair professionals, fleet owners,
governments, and municipalities and accounted for 60% of the
annual sales in the U.S. automotive aftermarket industry in
2000. Sales to the DIFM market represented approximately 18% of
our net sales for the fiscal year ended February&nbsp;3, 2002.
In 1994, we began targeting the DIFM market to leverage our
existing store base, fixed costs, inventory, and in-store
personnel. We believe we are well positioned to effectively and
profitably further penetrate the highly fragmented DIFM market
because of our sales force dedicated to DIFM customers,
experienced in-store sales associates, high level of customer
service, conveniently located stores, efficient depot delivery
network, attractive pricing, and ability to provide timely
availability of a broad selection of national brand name

Since the end of fiscal 1996, we have invested approximately

systems, depot delivery systems, and in-store improvements
(including the conversion of acquired stores to our format). We

distribution systems in the industry. As a result, we expect to
limit our cash outlay for capital expenditures to approximately
$15&nbsp;million in fiscal 2002.

We compete in the approximately $98&nbsp;billion U.S. automotive
aftermarket industry, which includes replacement parts
(excluding tires), accessories, maintenance items, batteries and
automotive fluids for cars and light trucks. The industry is
comprised of the $36&nbsp;billion DIY market and the
$62&nbsp;billion DIFM market. From 1991 to 2000, the DIY market
grew at a compound annual rate of 5.8% and the DIFM market grew
at a compound annual rate of 6.0%. We believe that the U.S.
automotive aftermarket industry is characterized by stable
demand and is growing because of increases in:

Despite significant consolidation of automotive aftermarket
retailers in recent years, the industry remains highly
fragmented. Our primary competitors include national and
regional automotive parts chains, wholesalers, jobber stores,
independent operators, automobile dealers, and discount stores
and mass merchandisers that carry automotive products. According
to Lang Marketing Resources, Inc., specialty automotive parts
retailers have increased their market share of U.S. DIY sales

    As the largest specialty retailer of automotive parts and

    certain competitive advantages over smaller retail chains and
    independent operators. These advantages include: (1)&nbsp;our
    brand name recognition as a trusted source of automotive parts

    selection of products on a timely basis, (3)&nbsp;marketing and
    distribution efficiencies due to economies of scale, and
    (4)&nbsp;our advanced store level information and distribution
    systems, which are the result of our significant investments in

    &#147;the most knowledgeable and helpful&#148; more frequently
    than those of certain other well known specialty retailers of
    automotive parts. Recruiting, training and retaining high

    customer service. Our training programs and incentives encourage
    our sales associates to develop technical expertise, which
    enables them to effectively advise customers on product
    selection and use. We have an average of two Automotive Society
    of Engineers, or ASE, certified mechanics per store. To further

    our DIFM customers, who typically require convenient locations,
    a high level of customer service, and timely availability of
    brand name products. Beginning in fiscal 1996, we significantly
    increased our marketing efforts to the DIFM market, added sales
    personnel dedicated to our DIFM customers, increased the breadth
    and depth of our product selection, and improved and expanded
    our distribution systems. We currently operate DIFM sales
    centers in 545 of our stores and our DIFM sales have grown from
    $89.6&nbsp;million, or approximately 11% of net sales in fiscal
    1996, to $259.1&nbsp;million, or approximately 18% of net sales
    for the fiscal year ended February&nbsp;3, 2002. The growth of
    our commercial sales program has increased the sales base for
    our participating stores, created additional marketing and

    approximately 75% of our stores an additional 65,000 SKUs on a
    same-day delivery basis. Through our extensive on-line vendor

    same-day delivery basis to approximately 75% of our stores and
    up to 1,000,000 additional SKUs on a next-day delivery basis to
    substantially all of our stores. While our stores also stock
    high quality generic products that appeal to our value conscious
    customers, we feature a broad selection of national brand name

credit facility and the proceeds of a $50.0&nbsp;million private

September&nbsp;1, 2006 into approximately 4.5&nbsp;million
shares of CSK Auto Corporation&#146;s common stock. We have
referred to these transactions collectively as the Refinancing
in this prospectus.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In connection with the Refinancing, CSK Auto, Inc. entered into
a new $300.0&nbsp;million senior collateralized, asset based
credit facility scheduled to mature December&nbsp;21, 2004. Our
new senior credit facility is comprised of a $170.0&nbsp;million
non-amortizing term loan facility and a $130.0&nbsp;million
revolving credit facility. Availability under our new senior
credit facility is subject to a borrowing base formula equal to
the lesser of $300.0&nbsp;million and the sum of certain
percentages of eligible inventory and eligible accounts
receivable owned by us and our subsidiaries. Our borrowing
capacity, pursuant to the borrowing base formula, at
February&nbsp;3, 2002 was approximately $270.5&nbsp;million.
Loans under the new senior credit facility are collateralized by
a first priority security interest in substantially all of our
and our subsidiaries&#146; assets and in all of our and our
subsidiaries&#146; capital stock. The loans are guaranteed by
each of CSK Auto, Inc.&#146;s subsidiaries and by CSK Auto

    Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss)&nbsp;before

    alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, it is

described below in addition to the other information contained
in this prospectus which apply to the outstanding notes and the

<FONT size="2">If you do not exchange your outstanding notes for
the new notes offered in this exchange offer, you will continue
to be subject to the restrictions on the transfer of your
outstanding notes. Those transfer restrictions are described in
the indenture governing the outstanding notes and in the legend
contained on the outstanding notes, and arose because we
originally issued the outstanding notes under exemptions from,
and in transactions not subject to, the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.

<FONT size="2">In general, you may offer or sell your
outstanding notes only if they are registered under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or if they
are offered and sold under an exemption from those requirements.
We do not intend to register the outstanding notes under the
Securities Act.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">If a large number of outstanding notes are
exchanged for new notes issued in the exchange offer, it may be
more difficult for you to sell your outstanding notes. In
addition, if you do not exchange your outstanding notes in the
exchange offer, you will no longer be entitled to exchange your
outstanding notes for registered notes or to have those
outstanding notes registered under the Securities Act. See
&#147;The Exchange Offer&nbsp;&#151; Consequences of Failure to

possible consequences of failing to exchange your notes.

of the indenture governing the notes, the indenture governing
our outstanding 11% senior subordinated notes and the credit
agreement relating to the new senior credit facility contain
restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these
restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and

notes will be above their initial offering price. The initial
purchasers have advised us that they intend to make a market in
the notes, but they are not obligated to do so and may
discontinue any market-making in the notes at any time in their
sole discretion and without notice. Future trading prices of the
notes on any market that may develop will depend on many
factors, including our operating performance and financial
condition, prevailing interest rates, the market for similar
securities, and general economic conditions.

circular dated December&nbsp;7, 2001, relating to the
outstanding notes. Except in limited circumstances with respect
to specific types of holders of outstanding notes, we will have
no further obligation to provide for the registration under the
Securities Act of such outstanding notes. In general,
outstanding notes, unless registered under the Securities Act,
may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from,

<FONT size="2">Net sales for fiscal 2001 were $1.44&nbsp;billion
as compared to $1.45&nbsp;billion for fiscal 2000 and
$1.23&nbsp;billion for fiscal 1999. Fiscal 2001 and fiscal 1999
consisted of 52&nbsp;weeks whereas fiscal 2000 consisted of 53
weeks. To evaluate sales levels, we have not included the 53rd
week in 2000 for comparison purposes so as to evaluate
consistent 52-week fiscal periods across all years. After such
adjustment, net sales in 2000 were $1.43&nbsp;billion. On this
basis, net sales increased approximately $12.5&nbsp;million
(0.9%) in 2001 over 2000, and chain-wide sales increased
$194.6&nbsp;million (15.8%) in 2000 over 1999. Much of the
increase in 2000 over 1999 was due to the result of
acquisitions, as explained below.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Net sales include the results of all stores from
the date opened or acquired. We also evaluate results for
comparable (or &#147;same-store&#148;) sales. Comparable store
net sales data is calculated based on the change in net sales
commencing after the time a new or acquired store has been open
for twelve months. Therefore, sales for the first twelve months
a new or acquired store is open are not included in the
comparable store calculation. Stores that have been relocated
are included in comparable store sales. After adjusting for the
53rd week in 2000, comparable store sales increased in 2001 over
2000 by 1% and increased in 2000 over 1999 by 2%.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Commercial sales increased 4% to
$259.1&nbsp;million in fiscal 2001 from $249.3&nbsp;million in
fiscal 2000 and by 14.5% in 2000 over the $217.7&nbsp;million
level in 1999. Comparable store commercial sales (excluding the
53rd week in 2000) increased 10% in 2001 over 2000, and 11% in
2000 over 1999, as a result of the continued expansion of our
commercial sales program.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We have driven our comparable store sales growth
by: (1)&nbsp;significantly expanding our commercial sales
program; (2)&nbsp;investing in state-of-the-art store-level
information systems and distribution systems, which have
enhanced our inventory management and our ability to make
available to our customers an expanded selection

<FONT size="2">In addition to the Acquisitions, we have opened
new stores or relocated stores in existing markets in order to
increase our marketing and distribution efficiencies and further
solidify our market position. We have also opened stores in new
markets to increase the number of markets we serve. As part of
the PEP, we identified 36 under-performing stores for closure,
28 of which had been closed by fiscal year-end 2001 and 2 of
which were sold in May of 2002. The following is a summary of
our store count activity over the past three years:

<FONT size="2">decreased in fiscal 2001 primarily as a result of
our PEP, in which $23.1&nbsp;million of charges were incurred
relating to reduction in inventory values and costs associated
with inventory review and disposal. Furthermore, although we had
anticipated that we would achieve at least 1999 gross profit
margin levels for 2001, we did not achieve this result because
of lower than expected vendor volume purchase allowances and
cash discounts during the year, due principally to lower than
typical in-stock inventory levels in the 2001 period. We have
historically utilized prompt payment and other cash discount
programs offered by vendors. Because of the need to pay for the
class action lawsuit settlement (see Note&nbsp;14 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements) and the term loan
amortization payments, we took efforts to retain cash during
most of fiscal 2001 and did not take full advantage of the
contractual vendor allowances. In addition, our change of
advertising strategy to emphasize promotional discounts through
newspaper advertising to increase retail customer count had the
effect of holding down the realized gross profit margin during
the period.

These increases in interest expense were offset by lower

$6.8&nbsp;million of the charge relates to the planned closure

saturation, store profitability, and store size and format. Of
these planned closures, 28 were closed as of February&nbsp;3,
2002 and 2 stores were subsequently removed from the reserve as
they were sold in May&nbsp;2002. In addition, we recorded an
increase to the reserve for prior years&#146; plans of
approximately $6.9&nbsp;million relating to existing closed
stores that have longer than anticipated vacancy periods as a
result of the continued economic slowdown. The PEP charge also
includes a $6.6&nbsp;million write-down for impairment of
leasehold improvements and other store-related property and
equipment, which has been recorded as a direct reduction of net
property and equipment balances. See &#147;Store Closures&#148;

(1)&nbsp;increase inventory turnover; (2)&nbsp;provide an
optimal inventory level at each store location;
(3)&nbsp;liquidate inventory not meeting our new asset return
levels; and (4)&nbsp;write down the inventory of the 36 stores
planned for closure. As a result of the analysis, we elected to
establish a reserve for excess inventories resulting from the
decision to eliminate certain product lines and to liquidate
inventory from closed stores. In conjunction with this decision,
a provision of $17.3&nbsp;million was recorded to reduce
inventory values. In addition, we incurred actual costs during
the year of approximately $5.8&nbsp;million related to labor,
warehouse and distribution, freight and other operating costs
associated with the inventory review and disposal. These costs
are reflected as cost of sales in the accompanying statement of
operations for fiscal 2001.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">During the third quarter of fiscal 2001, we
initiated our Refinancing of our capital structure by issuing a
$30.0&nbsp;million principal amount 7% convertible subordinated
note due September&nbsp;1, 2006 in a private placement. In
connection with the completion of the Refinancing, the note was
converted into approximately 4.5&nbsp;million shares of CSK Auto
Corporation common stock at a conversion price of $6.63 per
share. At the time of conversion, the accrued and unpaid
interest of approximately $0.7&nbsp;million was converted to
additional paid in capital.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In December 2001, we completed the Refinancing,
which resulted in the elimination of scheduled bank debt
amortization payments prior to the end of 2004, the extension of
debt maturities and enhanced liquidity. In connection with the
Refinancing, we entered into a new three-year
$300.0&nbsp;million senior secured, asset-based credit facility
due in December 2004 and issued $280.0 million of senior notes
due 2006. The new three-year $300.0&nbsp;million senior credit
facility is comprised of a $170.0&nbsp;million non-amortizing
term loan and a $130.0&nbsp;million revolving credit facility
with availability subject to a borrowing base formula. Interest
on the $300.0&nbsp;million senior credit facility is
approximately LIBOR plus 3.5%. The effective interest rate on
the $280.0&nbsp;million senior notes is approximately 12.5% per
annum, which includes the stated interest rate of 12%, plus
amortization of the discount of approximately $4.7&nbsp;million.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Prior to the Refinancing, during the second
quarter of fiscal 2001, we obtained $27.0&nbsp;million of
additional funding under our prior senior credit facility and
obtained amendments to that facility to permit the increased
borrowing and to amend certain covenant restrictions relating to
outstanding debt levels. These funds were used to pay the
$27.3&nbsp;million principal payment that was due on the prior
senior credit facility on June&nbsp;30, 2001.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As a result of the increased borrowing and based
on our financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2001,
our ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in our prior
senior credit facility) and our Interest Coverage Ratio (as
defined in our prior senior credit facility) would not have been
in compliance with corresponding covenants under our then
existing senior credit facility. Accordingly, we negotiated a
waiver to these covenants effective for the third quarter ending
November&nbsp;4, 2001. The proceeds of the Refinancing,
including the proceeds received from the issuance of the
$30&nbsp;million convertible note, were used to refinance the
indebtedness under our prior senior credit facility. We
anticipate meeting all required covenants under the new credit
facility in fiscal 2002.

<FONT size="2">Our primary cash requirements include working
capital (primarily inventory), interest on our debt and capital
expenditures. Due to the Refinancing, we will not be required to
make any debt amortization payments prior to December 2004 other
than capital lease payments. We intend to finance our cash
requirements with cash flow from operations and borrowings under
our new senior credit facility.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">At February&nbsp;3, 2002, we had net working
capital of approximately $498.9 million, an increase of
$97.4&nbsp;million, or 24%, compared to February&nbsp;4, 2001.
Inventory levels were reduced slightly, to $619.6&nbsp;million
at the end of fiscal 2001 from $621.8&nbsp;million at the end of
fiscal 2000. The increase in working capital primarily relates
to the following: (1) $54.6&nbsp;million of current maturities
on our prior senior credit facility outstanding at
February&nbsp;4, 2001 that were refinanced to long-term
consistent with our Refinancing; (2)&nbsp;a $31.1&nbsp;million
decrease in accounts payable consistent with improved liquidity
associated with our Refinancing; and (3)&nbsp;a
$16.0&nbsp;million increase in accounts receivable consistent
with increased vendor allowance programs.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">At February&nbsp;3, 2002, we had total liquidity
(cash plus availability under our existing revolving credit
facility) of approximately $52.0&nbsp;million. Our liquidity was
limited by borrowing base calculations associated with our new
senior credit facility. The borrowing base formula is equal to
the lesser of $300.0&nbsp;million and the sum of certain
percentages of our eligible inventory and accounts receivable.
As a result of the limitations imposed by the borrowing base
formula, at February&nbsp;3, 2002 we could only borrow up to
$270.5&nbsp;million of the total $300.0&nbsp;million facility.
Accordingly, we have $29.5&nbsp;million of additional borrowing
capacity that has not been included in our liquidity calculation
but that may be, in the future, subject to the borrowing base
calculation.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Debt is an important part of our overall
capitalization and we have been highly leveraged. Our total
outstanding debt balances have increased to fund working capital
requirements; however, our debt to equity ratio has improved. In
addition to providing liquidity, the Refinancing significantly
reduced our leverage, as shown in the following table.

<FONT size="2">As part of the Refinancing, during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2001 we sold to certain investors, including
Investcorp CSK Holdings L.P., an affiliate of Investcorp S.A.
(one of our principal stockholders), $50.0&nbsp;million in
principal amount of 7% convertible subordinated debentures due
December 2006 and make-whole warrants (carried at
$49.1&nbsp;million after discount for a beneficial conversion
feature). The convertible subordinated debentures were
convertible into CSK Auto Corporation common stock at $8.69 per
share. On May&nbsp;20, 2002, we converted the entire unpaid
principal amount of the convertible subordinated debentures into
approximately 5.75&nbsp;million shares of CSK Auto
Corporation&#146;s common stock. In addition, we elected to pay
the interest due on the convertible subordinated debentures in
common stock of CSK Auto Corporation in lieu of cash.

<FONT size="2">In fiscal 2001, net cash used in operating
activities was $7.9&nbsp;million compared to $32.5&nbsp;million
provided by operating activities during fiscal 2000. The largest
components of the change in cash flow from operations relate to:
(1)&nbsp;a net loss of $17.2&nbsp;million during fiscal 2001
compared to net income of $5.0&nbsp;million during fiscal 2000;
(2)&nbsp;a non-cash provision during fiscal 2001 of
$25.4&nbsp;million comprised of a $17.3&nbsp;million provision
for write down of inventory and a $8.1&nbsp;million impairment
of fixed and other assets primarily as a result of our PEP; and
(3)&nbsp;a decrease in accounts payable of $32.0&nbsp;million in
fiscal 2001 compared to an increase in accounts payable of
$25.2&nbsp;million in fiscal 2000 due to our improved liquidity
arising from our Refinancing.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In fiscal 2000, net cash provided by operating
activities was $32.5&nbsp;million, compared to $4.0&nbsp;million
of cash used in operating activities during fiscal 1999. The
largest component of the change in cash flow from operating
activities relates to our investment in inventories, where
$7.6&nbsp;million of cash was used during fiscal 2000 compared
to $93.6&nbsp;million used for such purposes during fiscal 1999.
The decrease in inventories reflects the sell through, return to
vendors or other disposition of inventories obtained in
acquisitions and reduced inventory levels as a result of cost
containment.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">During fiscal 2000, we finalized an agreement to
settle the class action lawsuits (see Note&nbsp;14 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements) brought by former and present
California store managers and senior assistant managers seeking
overtime pay under California law. The amount of the settlement
was approximately $8.8&nbsp;million (which includes
plaintiff&#146;s attorneys&#146; fees and costs and other
miscellaneous expenses) and was paid during the first quarter of
fiscal 2001. The settlement was funded through our prior
revolving credit facility. During the second quarter of fiscal
2001, we also reserved $2.0&nbsp;million for certain other legal
claims. Of this amount, we paid $0.6&nbsp;million during fiscal
2001 and expect to pay the remaining $1.4&nbsp;million during
fiscal 2002.

<FONT size="2">Net cash used in investing activities totaled
$10.1&nbsp;million for fiscal 2001, compared to
$34.5&nbsp;million used in fiscal 2000, and $260.2&nbsp;million
in fiscal 1999. The 1999 levels reflect $218.2&nbsp;million used
in the Big Wheel, AGA and AIS acquisitions. The decrease in cash
used in investing activities for fiscal 2001 as compared to
fiscal 2000 was primarily the result of $19.9&nbsp;million less
in capital expenditures, and the $3.2&nbsp;million investment in
the PartsAmerica joint venture during fiscal 2000.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In fiscal 2000, we invested approximately
$32.0&nbsp;million in capital expenditures, including new store
fixtures and information systems hardware and software. We
invested $12.2&nbsp;million in fiscal 2001. We invested a
greater amount in fiscal 2000 as part of the transition and
integration of the Acquisitions, and do not expect such levels
to be required again in the near future.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We are budgeting approximately the same amount
for capital expenditures for fiscal 2002 that we spent in 2001,
primarily for new stores. We opened 25 new, relocated or
expanded stores in fiscal 2001 and expect to open, relocate or
expand approximately 25 stores in fiscal 2002. We anticipate
that the majority of these stores will be financed under
arrangements structured as operating leases that require minimal
capital expenditures for fixtures and store equipment. For the
remainder of our planned new, relocated or expanded stores, we
expect to spend approximately $125,000 per store for leasehold
improvements. In addition to capital expenditures, each new
store will require an estimated investment in working capital,
principally for inventories, of approximately $300,000.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We lease our office and warehouse facilities, all
but two of our retail stores, and a majority of our equipment.
Certain of the equipment leases are classified as capital leases
and, accordingly, the equipment and related obligation are
recorded on our balance sheet. However, substantially all of our
store leases are operating leases with private landlords and
provide for monthly rental payments based on a contractual
amount. The majority of these lease agreements are for base
lease periods ranging from 10 to 20&nbsp;years, with three to
five renewal options of five years each. Certain store leases
also provide for contingent rentals based upon a percentage of
sales in excess of a stipulated minimum. We believe that the
long duration of our store leases offer security for our store
locations without the risks associated with real estate
ownership.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We currently have leases with a related party for
our corporate headquarters and an adjacent parking lot.
Previously we had entered into sale-leaseback or other financing
arrangements with related parties. We believe that the terms of
the transactions with the related parties were no less favorable
than terms we may have been able to receive from independent
third parties at the time of the applicable transaction. We also
believe that these transactions as a whole are not material to
our financial statements. For more information on related party
transactions, refer to Note&nbsp;5 of the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Historically, we had an arrangement with a real
estate investment company, under which we would identify a
location for a new store and then that company would acquire the
property. We would then build our new store and lease the store
from the real estate investment company under an operating
lease. This arrangement expired on December&nbsp;31, 2000.
During fiscal 2001, two stores, which were previously committed
under this facility, were funded. We do not plan on negotiating
another similar facility and do not believe that such a lease
facility is critical to our store development plans for fiscal
2002 based on the limited number of projected store openings and
the availability of other alternative financing arrangements,
including sale-leaseback financing transactions directly with
individual investors. We funded our remaining new and relocated
stores during fiscal 2001 under separate agreements with
landlords and individual investors.

<FONT size="2">We provide an allowance for estimated costs to be
incurred in connection with store closures. The allowance for
store closing costs primarily consists of three components:
(1)&nbsp;future rents to be paid over the remaining terms of the
lease agreements for the stores (net of estimated probable
sublease recoveries); (2)&nbsp;lease commissions associated with
the anticipated store subleases; and (3)&nbsp;occupancy expenses
associated with the closed store vacancy periods. Such costs are
recognized when a store is specifically identified, costs can be
estimated and closure is planned to be completed within the next
twelve months. No provision is made for employee termination
costs. For stores to be relocated, such costs are recognized
when an agreement for the new location has been reached with a
landlord and site plans meet preliminary municipal approvals.
During the period that they remain open for business, the rent
and other operating expenses for the stores to be closed
continue to be reflected in our normal operating expenses. The
actual costs of relocating a store, such as transporting of
inventories, are considered a normal operating expense and are
not included in the store closing reserve.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As of February&nbsp;3, 2002, we had a total of
245 store locations and service centers included in the
allowance for store closing costs. Of this total, 65 locations
were vacant, 173 locations were subleased and 7 locations were
identified for closure but remained open as of year-end. Future
rents will be incurred through the expiration of the
non-cancelable leases, the longest of which runs through March
2018. During fiscal 2002, we expect cash outflows related to
these store locations of approximately $7.0&nbsp;million for
rent on vacant stores, related occupancy expenses, leasing
commissions and net shortfalls on cash rents from subleased
locations.

<FONT size="2">Our business is somewhat seasonal in nature, with
the highest sales occurring in the summer months of June through
August (overlapping our second and third fiscal quarters). In
addition, our business is affected by weather conditions. While
unusually severe or inclement weather tends to reduce sales, as
our customers are more likely to defer elective maintenance
during such periods, extremely hot and cold temperatures tend to
enhance sales by causing auto parts to fail and sales of
seasonal products to increase.

<FONT size="2">Our new senior credit facility contains negative
covenants and restrictions on actions by us and our subsidiaries
including, without limitation, restrictions on indebtedness,
liens, guarantee obligations, mergers, asset dispositions not in
the ordinary course of business, investments, loans, advances
and acquisitions, dividends and other restricted junior
payments, transactions with affiliates, change in business
conducted, and certain prepayments and amendments of
subordinated indebtedness. Our new revolving credit facility
requires that we meet certain financial covenants, ratios and
tests, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest
coverage ratio.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">A breach of the covenants, ratios, or
restrictions contained in our new senior credit facility could
result in an event of default thereunder. Upon the occurrence of
such an event of default, the lenders under our new senior
credit facility could elect to declare all amounts outstanding
under the new senior credit facility, together with accrued
interest, to be immediately due and payable. If we were unable
to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed against the
collateral granted to them to secure the indebtedness. If the
lenders under the new senior credit facility accelerate the
payment of the indebtedness, we cannot be assured that our
assets would be sufficient to repay in full that indebtedness,
which is secured by substantially all of our assets.

<FONT size="2">We are highly leveraged. The degree to which we
are leveraged could have important consequences on our ability
to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital
expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes. A
substantial portion of our cash flow from operations must be
dedicated to the payment of interest on our indebtedness,
thereby reducing the funds available for other purposes. We are
substantially more leveraged than some of our competitors, which
might place us at a competitive disadvantage to those
competitors that have lower debt service obligations and
significantly greater operating and financial flexibility than
we do. We may not be able to adjust rapidly to changing market
conditions and we may be more vulnerable in the event of a
downturn in general economic conditions or in our business.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or
market, cost being determined utilizing the last-in, first-out
(LIFO)&nbsp;method. The carrying value of the inventory exceeds
the current replacement cost primarily as a result of the
application of the LIFO inventory method of accounting. Our
costs of acquiring inventories through normal purchasing
activities have been decreasing in recent years as our increased
size has enabled us to take advantage of volume discounts and
lower product acquisition costs.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On a quarterly basis, we perform an analysis of
the net realizable value of inventory, after consideration of
expected disposal costs and normal profit margins, to determine
if the LIFO carrying value of the inventory is impaired. Should
an impairment be indicated, the carrying value of the inventory
would be reduced.

<FONT size="2">Periodic cycle counts are conducted at all store
locations and warehouses and a complete physical count is
conducted annually. A provision for shrink, based on a
percentage of net sales, is recorded every month and is adjusted
based upon the actual physical count results. Our actual shrink
expense has averaged approximately 1.7% of normalized net sales
over the last several years.

Asset</I></FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We have recorded deferred tax assets of
approximately $24.0&nbsp;million as of February&nbsp;3, 2002,
reflecting the benefit of federal and state tax loss
carryforwards approximating $65.2&nbsp;million and
$37.5&nbsp;million, which begin to expire in 2014 and 2007,
respectively. Realization is dependent on generating sufficient
taxable income prior to expiration of the loss carryforwards.
Utilization of certain of the net operating loss carryforwards
may be limited under Section&nbsp;382 of the Internal Revenue
Code. Although realization is not assured, management believes
it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets
will be realized. Accordingly, we believe that no valuation
allowance is required for deferred tax assets in excess of
deferred tax liabilities. The amount of the deferred tax assets
considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near
term if estimates of future taxable income during the
carryforward period are reduced.

individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse
effect upon our consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. However, if our estimates related to
these contingent liabilities are incorrect, the future results
of operations for any particular fiscal quarter or year could be

for estimated costs and losses to be incurred in connection with
store closures. We establish this allowance based on an
assessment of market conditions for rents, and include
assumptions for vacancy periods and sublease rentals. In 2001,
we were required to make adjustments to the allowance because
actual market conditions were different than the assumptions we
made at the time we established the allowance. We may be
required to make further adjustments in future periods.

Board (FASB or the &#147;Board&#148;) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;141 (SFAS&nbsp;141),
Business Combinations, and No.&nbsp;142 (SFAS&nbsp;142),
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, collectively referred to
as the &#147;Standards&#148;. SFAS&nbsp;141 supersedes
Accounting Principles Board Opinion
(&#147;APB&#148;)&nbsp;No.&nbsp;16, Business Combinations. The
provisions of SFAS&nbsp;141 (1)&nbsp;require that the purchase
method of accounting be used for all business combinations
initiated after June&nbsp;30, 2001, (2)&nbsp;provide specific
criteria for the initial recognition and measurement of

<FONT size="2">apart from goodwill, and (3)&nbsp;generally
require that unamortized negative goodwill be written off
immediately as an extraordinary gain instead of being deferred
and amortized. SFAS&nbsp;141 also requires that upon adoption of
SFAS 142 we reclassify the carrying amounts of certain
intangible assets into or out of goodwill, based on certain
criteria. SFAS&nbsp;142 supersedes APB&nbsp;17, Intangible
Assets, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December&nbsp;15, 2001. SFAS&nbsp;142 primarily addresses the
accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to
their initial recognition. The provisions of SFAS&nbsp;142:
(1)&nbsp;prohibit the amortization of goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets, (2)&nbsp;require that
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles assets be tested
annually for impairment (and in interim periods if certain
events occur indicating that the carrying value of goodwill
and/or indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired),
(3)&nbsp;require that reporting units be identified for the
purpose of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill,
and (4)&nbsp;remove the forty-year limitation on the
amortization period of intangible assets that have finite lives.
</FONT>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left"><FONT size="1">

</FONT></DIV>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We adopted the provisions of SFAS&nbsp;142 in our
first quarter ended May&nbsp;5, 2002. We are in the process of
making the determinations as to what our reporting units are and
what amounts of goodwill, intangible assets, other assets, and
liabilities should be allocated to those reporting units. We
expect that we will no longer record approximately
$4.8&nbsp;million of amortization expense relating to our
existing goodwill. Our intangible assets primarily consist of
favorable leasehold interests. As such, FAS&nbsp;142 did not
impact the useful lives assigned to our intangible assets.
</FONT>

<DIV align="left"><FONT size="1">

</FONT></DIV>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">SFAS&nbsp;142 requires that goodwill be tested
annually for impairment using a two-step process. The first step
is to identify a potential impairment and, in transition, this
step must be measured as of the beginning of the fiscal year.
However, a company has six months from the date of adoption to
complete the first step. Accordingly, we expect to complete that
first step of the goodwill impairment test before the end of the
second quarter of 2002. The second step of the goodwill
impairment test measures the amount of the impairment loss
(measured as of the beginning of the year of adoption), if any,
and must be completed by the end of our fiscal year. Intangible
assets deemed to have an indefinite life will be tested for
impairment using a one-step process which compares the fair
value to the carrying amount of the asset as of the beginning of
the fiscal year, and pursuant to the requirements of
SFAS&nbsp;142 will be completed during the first quarter of
2002. Any impairment loss resulting from the transitional
impairment tests will be reflected as the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle. We have not yet determined what
effect these impairment tests will have on our earnings and
financial position.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS
No.&nbsp;144, &#147;Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets.&#148; SFAS No.&nbsp;144 replaces certain
previously issued accounting guidance, develops a single
accounting model for long-lived assets, and broadens the
framework previously established for assets to be disposed of by
sale (whether previously held or newly acquired). We adopted
SFAS No.&nbsp;144 as of the beginning of fiscal 2002. The
adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

    <FONT size="2">The growth of light trucks, including SUVs, in
    use has significantly surpassed the growth of cars in use in the
    U.S. over the last ten years. From 1991 to 2000, light trucks in
    use grew at a compound annual rate of 4.5%, while cars in use
    grew at a compound annual rate of only 0.4% over the same
    period. As a result of this growth, the percentage of the total
    light vehicle fleet represented by light trucks has increased
    from 29.7% in 1991 to 37.8% in 2000. This trend is beneficial to
    the automotive aftermarket industry because light trucks
    typically require more maintenance and repair work than cars.
    According to Lang Marketing Resources, Inc., in 2000, each light
    truck generated an average of $480 of aftermarket product
    purchases versus $325 of such purchases generated per car.

    <FONT size="2">The number of miles driven annually has steadily
    increased from 1991 to 1999 resulting in increased wear and tear
    on vehicles and thus increased vehicle maintenance requirements.
    Generally, automotive parts are replaced out of necessity, and
    while maintenance expenditures can be postponed, eventually most
    vehicles require repairs and servicing. One factor influencing
    this trend is the increasing percentage of the total vehicle
    fleet being represented by light trucks, as light trucks tend to
    be driven harder and for more miles over their lifetimes.

demographic and competitive studies include analysis of
population density, growth patterns, age, per capita income,
vehicle traffic counts and the number and type of existing
automotive-related facilities, such as automotive parts stores
and other competitors within a pre-determined radius of the
potential new location. These potential locations are compared
to our existing locations to determine opportunities for opening
new stores and relocating or expanding existing stores.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Our store merchandising program, which classifies
our product mix into 120 separate categories, is designed to
determine the optimal inventory mix at each individual store
based on that store&#146;s historical sales. We believe that we
can improve store sales, gross profit margin and inventory
turnover by tailoring individual store inventory mix based on
historical sales patterns for each of the 120 product
categories. As part of our Profitability Enhancement Program, we
completed a comprehensive review of slower-selling items that
meet neither current return criteria nor our objective for
inventory turns. This review has resulted in a plan to eliminate
certain merchandise, and to transfer certain goods to stores
that are turning them satisfactorily.
</FONT>

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">Purchasing</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Merchandise is selected from over 300 suppliers
and purchased for all stores by personnel at our corporate
headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. No one class of product and no
single supplier accounted for as much as 10% of our purchases in
fiscal 2001.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Our inventory management systems include the E-3
Trim Buying System, which provides inventory movement
forecasting based upon history, trend and seasonality. Combined
with service level goals, vendor lead times and cost of
inventory assumptions, the E-3 Trim Buying System determines the
timing and size of purchase orders. Approximately 90% of the
dollar value of transactions are sent via electronic data
interchange, with the remainder being sent by a computer
facsimile interface. Our store replenishment system generates
orders based upon store on-hand and store model stock. This
includes an automatic model stock adjustment system utilizing
historical sales, seasonality and store presentation
requirements. We also can allocate seasonal and promotional
merchandise based upon a store&#146;s history of prior
promotional and seasonal sales.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Our stores offer products with nationally
recognized, well-advertised brand names, such as Armor All,
Autolite, AC Delco, Castrol, Dayco, Exide, Fel Pro, Fram,
Havoline, Mobil, Monroe, Pennzoil, Prestone, Quaker State,
RayBestos, Stant, Sylvania, Turtle Wax and Valvoline. In
addition to brand name products, our stores carry a wide variety
of high quality generic products. Because most of our generic
products are produced by nationally recognized manufacturers
that produce similar brand name products that enjoy a high
degree of consumer acceptance, we believe that our generic
products are of a quality that is comparable to such brand name
products.

<B><FONT size="2">Commercial Sales Program</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In addition to our primary focus on serving the
do-it-yourself consumer, we have significantly increased our
marketing efforts to the commercial customer in the automotive
replacement parts market. The commercial market constitutes in
excess of 60% of the annual sales in the automotive aftermarket
and is currently growing at a faster rate than the
do-it-yourself market. Our commercial sales program, which is
intended to facilitate penetration of this market, is targeted
to professional mechanics, auto repair shops, auto dealers,
fleet owners, mass and general merchandisers with auto repair
facilities and other commercial repair outlets located near our
stores.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We have made a significant commitment to this
portion of our business and upgraded the information systems
capabilities available to the commercial sales group. In
addition, we employ one district sales manager for approximately
every five stores that have a commercial sales center. A
district sales manager is responsible for servicing existing
commercial accounts and developing new commercial accounts. In
addition, at a minimum, each commercial sales center has a
dedicated in-store salesperson, driver and delivery vehicle.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We believe we are well positioned to effectively
and profitably service commercial customers, who typically
require a higher level of customer service and broad product
availability. The commercial market has traditionally been
serviced primarily by jobbers. Recently, however, automotive
specialty retailing chains, such as our company, have entered
the commercial market. The chains typically have multiple
locations in given market areas and maintain a broad inventory
selection. We believe we have significant competitive advantages
in servicing the commercial market because of our experienced
sales associates, conveniently located stores,

<FONT size="2">As of February&nbsp;3, 2002, we operated
commercial service centers in 545 of our stores. Our sales to
commercial accounts (including sales by stores without
commercial service centers) increased 3.9% to
$259.1&nbsp;million in fiscal 2001 from $249.3&nbsp;million in
fiscal 2000. Fiscal 2001 has 52&nbsp;weeks while fiscal 2000 had
53&nbsp;weeks. On a comparable store basis and excluding the
53rd week in fiscal 2000, commercial sales increased 10% in
fiscal 2001 over fiscal&nbsp;2000.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We support our marketing and merchandising
strategy primarily through print advertising, in-store
promotional displays and radio and television advertising. The
print advertising consists of monthly color circulars that are
produced by our in-house advertising department and that contain
redeemable coupons. We also advertise on radio, television and
billboards primarily to reinforce our image and name
recognition. Television advertising is targeted to sports
programming and radio advertising is primarily aired during
commuting hours. Advertising efforts include Spanish language
television and radio as well as bilingual store signage.
In-store signs and displays are used to promote products,
identify departments, and to announce store specials. We also
sponsor two National Hot Rod Association Funny Cars and have
been designated the &#147;Official Auto Parts Store of the
NHRA.&#148; We have the following web sites on the Internet:

<FONT size="2">Our warehouse and distribution system utilizes
bar coding, radio frequency scanners and sophisticated conveyor
and put-to-light systems. We instituted engineered labor
standards and incentive programs in each of our distribution
centers which have contributed to improved labor productivity.
Each store is currently serviced by one of our three main
distribution centers, with the regional distribution centers
handling bulk materials, such as oil. All of our merchandise is
shipped by vendors to our distribution centers, with the
exception of batteries, which are shipped directly to stores by
the vendor. We have sufficient warehouse and distribution
capacity to meet the requirements of our growth plans for the
foreseeable future.

<FONT size="2">Much of the training is delivered through formal
classes in training centers that are fully equipped with the
same systems as are in our stores. We believe that our training
programs enable sales associates to provide a high level of
service to a wide variety of customers ranging from less
knowledgeable do-it-yourself consumers to more sophisticated
purchasers requiring diagnostic advice. We also provide
continuing training programs for store managers and district
managers designed to assist them in increasing store-level
efficiency and improving their potential for promotion. In
addition, we require periodic meetings of district and store
managers to facilitate and enhance communications within our
organization. Many of our current associates have passed the
ASE-P2 test, a nationally recognized certification for auto
parts technicians.

<FONT size="2">We compete in both the DIY and DIFM markets of
the automotive aftermarket industry, which is highly fragmented
and generally very competitive. We compete primarily with
national and regional retail automotive parts chains (such as
AutoZone, Inc. and The Pep Boys&nbsp;&#151; Manny, Moe and Jack,
Inc.), wholesalers or jobber stores (some of which are
associated with national automotive parts distributors or
associations, such as NAPA), automobile dealers, and discount
stores and mass merchandisers that carry automotive replacement
parts, maintenance items and accessories (such as Wal-Mart
Stores, Inc.). As the largest specialty retailer of automotive
parts and accessories in the Western United States, we believe
we have certain competitive advantages over smaller retail
chains and independent operators. These advantages include:
(1)&nbsp;our brand name recognition as a trusted source of
automotive parts and accessories, (2)&nbsp;our ability to make
available a broad selection of products on a timely basis,
(3)&nbsp;marketing and distribution efficiencies due to
economies of scale, and (4)&nbsp;our advanced store level
information and distribution systems, which are the result of
our significant investments in recent years. We also believe
that we enjoy a competitive advantage over mass merchandisers
due to our focus on automotive parts and accessories and our
knowledgeable sales associates.

<B><FONT size="2">Litigation</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We were served on March&nbsp;8, 2000 with a
complaint filed in Federal Court in the Eastern District of New
York by the Coalition for a Level Playing Field, O.K. and, based
on the current amended complaint, 255&nbsp;individual auto parts
dealers alleging that we and seven other auto parts dealers
(AutoZone, Inc., Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Advance Stores Company,
Inc., Discount Auto, Inc., The Pep Boys&nbsp;&#151; Manny, Moe
and Jack, Inc., O&#146;Reilly Automotive, Inc., and Keystone
Automotive Operations, Inc.) violated the Robinson-Patman Act.
Only 15 of the individual plaintiffs asserted claims against us.
The complaint, which has been amended, alleges that we and other
defendants knowingly either induced or received discriminatory
prices from large suppliers, allegedly in violation of
Section&nbsp;2(a) and 2(f) of the Robinson-Patman Act, as well
as received compensation from large suppliers for services not
performed for those suppliers, allegedly in violation of
Section&nbsp;2(c) of the Robinson-Patman Act. The complaint
seeks injunctive relief against all defendants and seeks treble
damages on behalf of the individual auto parts dealers who are
plaintiffs, plus attorneys&#146; fees. The complaint alleges
that the estimated average damage amount per plaintiff is
$1,000,000 (and more for those plaintiffs that are wholesale
distributors and not simply jobbers) before trebling. We believe
the suit is without merit and plan to vigorously defend it. We,
along with other defendants, filed a motion to dismiss and
certain other procedural motions. The motions were all denied,
except for the motion to dismiss one of the Robinson-Patman
claims, which was based upon the allegation that defendants were
acting as brokers. In March 2002, the court entered an order
separating discovery with respect to liability and damages and
setting various discovery deadlines. We do not currently believe
that this complaint will result in liabilities material to our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. In May 2002, we reached a tentative settlement with all
of the plaintiffs that includes the payment of nominal
consideration by the Company. As the first step in the
settlement, the attorneys for the Company and the plaintiffs
have filed with the Court a Stipulation and Order for the
dismissal with prejudice of all claims by all plaintiffs against
the Company.

recorded a $2.0&nbsp;million charge for the settlement of
certain other legal claims.

<FONT size="2">We currently and from time to time are involved
in other litigation incidental to the conduct of our business.
The damages claimed in some of this litigation are substantial.
Although the amount of liability that may result from these
matters cannot be ascertained, we do not currently believe that,
in the aggregate, they will result in liabilities material to
our consolidated financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.

lubricants, and the ownership and operation of real property.
For example, under environmental laws, a current or previous
owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost of
removal or remediation of hazardous substances in soil or
groundwater. Such laws often impose joint and several liability
and liability may be imposed without regard to whether the owner
or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release of such
hazardous substances.

<FONT size="2">At some of our acquired locations, automobiles
are serviced in automotive service facilities that we sublease
to third parties. As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal
2001, we had exited our service center operations through
closure or sublease of such facilities. As a result of
investigations undertaken in connection with such acquisitions,
we are aware that soil or groundwater may be contaminated at
some of these properties. Although there can be no assurance,
based on current information and, in some cases, indemnities we
obtained from the former operators of these facilities, we
believe that any such contamination will not have a material
adverse effect on us.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As part of our operations, we handle hazardous
materials in the ordinary course of business and our customers
may bring hazardous materials onto our property in connection
with, for example, our oil recycling program. We currently
provide a recycling program for batteries and for the collection
of used lubricants at certain of our stores as a service to our
customers pursuant to agreements with third-party vendors. The
batteries and used lubricants are collected by our associates,
deposited into vendor-supplied containers/ pallets and then
disposed of by the third-party vendors. In general, our
agreements with such vendors contain provisions that are
designed to limit our potential liability under applicable
environmental regulations for any damage or contamination that
may be caused by the batteries and lubricants to off-site
properties (including as a result of waste disposal) and to our
properties, when caused by the vendor.

<FONT size="2">On December&nbsp;21, 2001, CSK Auto, Inc. entered
into a new $300.0&nbsp;million senior collateralized, asset
based credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, Credit Suisse
First Boston, and UBS&nbsp;AG, Stamford Branch, with a scheduled
maturity date of December&nbsp;21, 2004. The new senior credit
facility is comprised of a $170.0&nbsp;million non-amortizing
term loan facility and a $130.0&nbsp;million revolving credit
facility. We may draw amounts under the new revolving credit
facility, subject to availability pursuant to a borrowing base
formula in order to meet our working capital requirements,
including issuing letters of credit. The borrowing base is based
upon the sum of certain percentages of eligible inventory and
eligible accounts receivable owned by us and our subsidiaries.
The following is a summary description of the principal terms of
the new senior credit facility and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the definitive agreements.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Loans under the new senior credit facility are
collateralized by a first priority security interest in
substantially all of our and our subsidiaries&#146; assets and
in all of our and our subsidiaries&#146; capital stock. The
loans are guaranteed on a senior basis by each of CSK&nbsp;Auto,
Inc.&#146;s subsidiaries and by CSK&nbsp;Auto Corporation.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Interest may accrue quarterly on the loans with
reference to the base rate (the <I>&#147;Base Rate&#148;</I>)
plus the applicable Base Rate interest margin. We may elect that
all or a portion of the loans bear interest at the eurodollar
rate (the &#147;Eurodollar Rate&#148;) plus the applicable
Eurodollar interest margin. The Base Rate is defined as the
highest of (i)&nbsp;the Federal Funds Rate plus&nbsp;0.50%,
(ii)&nbsp;the secondary market rate for three-month certificates
of deposit of money center banks plus&nbsp;1%, or (iii)&nbsp;the
prime commercial lending rate of the administrative agent. The
Eurodollar Rate is defined as the rate at which eurodollar
deposits for one, two, three or six months or (if and when
available to all of the relevant lenders) nine or twelve months
are offered to the administrative agent in the interbank
eurodollar market. The interest margin for the new senior credit
facility is 2.50% for Base Rate loans and 3.50% for Eurodollar
Rate loans.

2006</FONT></B>

<FONT size="2">On October&nbsp;30, 1996, CSK&nbsp;Auto, Inc.
issued and sold in a private placement $125.0&nbsp;million
aggregate principal amount of 11%&nbsp;senior subordinated notes
due 2006 pursuant to an indenture between the Company and The
Bank of New&nbsp;York (as successor to Wells Fargo
Bank,&nbsp;N.A.), as Trustee. On March&nbsp;13, 1997, we offered
to exchange up to all of the outstanding notes for a like
principal amount of 11%&nbsp;Series&nbsp;A senior subordinated
notes due 2006 issued in a transaction registered under the
Securities Act. We consummated this exchange offer on
June&nbsp;18, 1997, with all of the originally issued notes
being exchanged for the new notes. In April&nbsp;1998, a portion
of the proceeds of the initial public offering of our common
stock was used to redeem&nbsp;35% of the aggregate principal
amount of the notes at a redemption price of 110% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon.

interest at 11%&nbsp;per year, payable semiannually in arrears

are general, unsecured senior subordinated obligations. The

<FONT size="2">Holders of the Notes will be direct creditors of
each Guarantor by virtue of its Guarantee. Nonetheless, in the
event of the bankruptcy or financial difficulty of a Guarantor,
such Guarantor&#146;s obligations under its Guarantee may be
subject to review and avoidance under state and federal
fraudulent transfer laws. Among other things, such obligations
may be avoided if a court concludes that such obligations were
incurred for less than reasonably equivalent value or fair
consideration at a time when the Guarantor was insolvent, was
rendered insolvent, or was left with inadequate capital to
conduct its business. A court would likely conclude that a
Guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair
consideration to the extent that the aggregate amount of its
liability on its Guarantee exceeds the economic benefits it
receives in the Offering. The obligations of each Guarantor
under its Guarantee will be limited in a manner intended to
cause it not to be a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law,
although no assurance can be given that a court would give the
Holder the benefit of such provision. See &#147;Risk

trust company created to hold securities for its participating
organizations (collectively, the &#147;Direct
Participants&#148;) and to facilitate the clearance and
settlement of transactions in those securities between Direct
Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts
of Participants. The Direct Participants include securities

interest will be recorded only on the records of the Direct

Participants who hold an interest through a Direct Participant
will be effected in accordance with the procedures of such

permitted to be taken by a holder of Notes only at the direction
of one or more Direct Participants to whose account interests in
the Global Notes are credited and only in respect of such
portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes as to
which such Direct Participant or Direct Participants has or have

the Notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange Global Notes
(without the direction of one or more of its Direct

<FONT size="2">At the time of our recapitalization in October
1996, CSK Auto Corporation entered into a stockholders&#146;
agreement with each of our stockholders at the time (the
&#147;Agreeing Stockholders&#148;). This agreement restricts the
transfer of shares of our common stock held by the Agreeing
Stockholders. The stockholders&#146; agreement also entitles the
Agreeing Stockholders to certain rights regarding the transfer
of their shares and corporate governance. Any party who
purchased shares from the Agreeing Stockholders became a party
to the stockholders&#146; agreement as well. In addition, in
December 1997, upon the purchase of newly issued common stock,
Transatlantic Investments, LLC (formerly known as Transatlantic
Finance, Ltd.), and South Bay Limited, an affiliate of
Investcorp, and their subsequent transferees, became parties to
the stockholders&#146; agreement.

desires to sell its shares, the stockholders&#146; agreement
provides that we and each of the other Agreeing Stockholders
have, except as set forth below, a &#147;right of first
refusal&#148; on those shares. We have a right of first refusal
in the case of any proposed sales or other transfers of shares
by any Agreeing Stockholder, and if we do not elect to purchase
all such shares, such right can be executed by the other
Agreeing Stockholders. The right of first refusal is a right to
purchase such offered shares on the same terms and conditions as
the proposed third-party sale, except (1)&nbsp;in the case of
transfers to affiliates and certain family members
(&#147;Permitted Transferees&#148;), (2)&nbsp;pursuant to a
registered public offering, or (3)&nbsp;pursuant to
Rule&nbsp;144 under the Securities Act. Any Agreeing Stockholder
wishing to sell any of its shares, whether or not it has
received a third-party offer, may offer to sell those shares to
us and the other Agreeing Stockholders on terms and conditions
established by the selling Agreeing Stockholder. In the event
that we and/or the other Agreeing Stockholders do not purchase

additional amendment to the stockholders&#146; agreement (the
&#147;Third Amendment&#148;) to extend the Waivers to apply to

extending the Waivers, the Third Amendment also provided that
the Company would file on or before June&nbsp;14, 2002 a

&#147;Market discount&#148; is the excess (if any) of the

not exceed a certain <I>de minimis </I>amount. Unless you have

gain, if any, realized on a disposition or a full or partial
principal payment of a note with market discount will be treated

purchase your tax basis of the note exceeds the sum of all
amounts payable on the note after the purchase date (other than
payments of stated interest), the note will be treated as having
been acquired with &#147;bond premium.&#148; You may elect to
amortize such bond premium over the remaining term of such note
using the constant yield method as you take stated interest into
account under your regular method of tax accounting (or, if it
results in a smaller amount of amortizable bond premium, until
an earlier call date).

<FONT size="2">If bond premium is amortized, the amount of
interest that must be included in your income for each period
ending on an interest payment date or at the stated maturity of
the note, as the case may be, will be reduced. The reduction
will be equal to the portion of premium allocable to such period
based on your yield to maturity with respect to the note as
determined under the bond premium rules. If you elect to
amortize bond premium, you must reduce your United States
federal income tax basis in the note as described below under
&#147;&#151; Sale, Exchange or Redemption of the Notes.&#148; If
you do not elect to amortize bond premium, you must include the
full amount of each interest payment as ordinary income in
accordance with your regular method of tax accounting. You may
receive a tax benefit (in the form of capital loss or reduced
capital gain) from the premium only in computing your gain or
loss upon the sale or disposition or payment of the principal
amount of the note.

to the difference between (i)&nbsp;the amount realized on the
disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued but
unpaid interest not previously included in income) and
(ii)&nbsp;your adjusted United States federal income tax basis
in the note. Your adjusted United States federal income tax
basis in a note generally will equal the cost of the note (other
than any cost attributable to accrued interest as of the date
you acquired the note), increased by the amount of OID and
market discount you previously included in income, and decreased
by payments received by you, other than payments of stated
interest, and bond premium amortized by you.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Such gain or loss generally will constitute
capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss

gains. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain

related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices.
Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or
through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the
form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer
or the purchasers of any such Exchange Securities. Any
broker-dealer that resells Exchange Securities that were
received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange
Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a
distribution of such Exchange Securities may be deemed to be an
&#147;underwriter&#148; within the meaning of the Securities Act
and any profit on any such resale of Exchange Securities and any
commission or concessions received by any such persons may be
deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act.
The Letter of Transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it
will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer
will not be deemed to admit that it is an
&#147;underwriter&#148; within the meaning of the Securities Act.

<FONT size="2">In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders&#146; equity and cash flows present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CSK
Auto Corporation and its subsidiaries at February&nbsp;3, 2002
and February&nbsp;4, 2001, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the
period ended February&nbsp;3, 2002 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company&#146;s management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, which 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.

At February&nbsp;3, 2002, CSK&nbsp;Auto Corporation had no
business activity other than its investment in CSK&nbsp;Auto,

<FONT size="2">As more fully explained in Note&nbsp;8, bank
borrowings by Auto are guaranteed by Corporate, which guarantee
is full and unconditional. Auto.com and AIS (collectively, the
&#147;Subsidiary Guarantors&#148;) have also jointly and
severally guaranteed such debt on a full and unconditional
basis. Corporate is a holding company and has no other direct
subsidiaries or independent assets or operations. The Subsidiary
Guarantors are minor subsidiaries and have no significant
independent operations. Summarized financial statements and
other disclosures concerning each of Auto and the Subsidiary
Guarantors are not presented because management believes that
they are not material to investors. The consolidated amounts in
the accompanying financial statements are representative of the
combined guarantors and issuer.
</FONT>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company is highly leveraged. In December
2001, the Company completed the Refinancing (see Note&nbsp;8),
which resulted in the elimination of scheduled bank debt
amortization payments prior to the end of 2004, the extension of
debt maturities and enhanced liquidity. The Company&#146;s new
revolving credit facility requires that the Company meet certain
financial covenants, ratios and tests, including a maximum
leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. A breach
of the covenants, ratios, or restrictions contained in the new
senior credit facility could result in an event of default
thereunder. The Company anticipates meeting all required
covenants under the new credit facility in fiscal 2002.

Recognition</I></FONT></B>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company recognizes sales upon the delivery of
products to its customers, which generally occurs at the
Company&#146;s retail store locations. For commercial customers,
the Company also delivers products to customer locations. All
retail and commercial sales are final upon delivery of products.
However, as a convenience to the customer and as typical of most
retailers, the Company will accept merchandise returns. The
Company generally limits the period of time within which
products may be returned to 30&nbsp;days and requires returns to
be accompanied by original packaging and a sales receipt. The
accompanying financial statements include an allowance for sales
returns, which has been estimated by management based upon
historical activity.
</FONT>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company&#146;s vendors are primarily
responsible for warranty claims. Warranty costs not covered by
vendor&#146;s warranty are not material for merchandise and
services sold under warranty by the Company.
</FONT>



<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Cash
Equivalents</I></FONT></B>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Cash equivalents consist primarily of
certificates of deposit with maturities of three months or less
when purchased.
</FONT>



<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Receivables</I></FONT></B>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Receivables are primarily comprised of amounts
due from vendors for rebates or allowances and amounts due from
commercial sales customers. The Company records an estimated
provision for bad debts based on a percentage of sales and
reviews the provision periodically for adequacy. Specific
accounts are written off against the allowance when management
determines the account is uncollectible.
</FONT>



<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Concentration
of Credit Risk</I></FONT></B>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally
of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. As of
February&nbsp;3, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
on deposit with a major financial institution that were in
excess of FDIC insured limits. Historically, the Company has not
experienced any loss of its cash and cash equivalents due to
such concentration of credit risk.
</FONT>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company does not hold collateral to secure
payment of its trade accounts receivable. However, management
performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers&#146;
financial condition and provides an allowance for estimated
potential losses. Exposure to credit loss is limited to the
carrying amount.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or
market, cost being determined utilizing the last-in, first-out
method. Cost of sales includes product cost, net of earned
vendor rebates, discounts and allowances. The Company recognizes
vendor rebates, discounts and allowances based on the terms of
the underlying agreements. Such amounts may be amortized over
the life of the applicable agreements or recognized as inventory
is sold. Certain operating and administrative costs associated
with purchasing and handling of inventory are capitalized in
inventories. The amounts of such costs included in inventories
as of February&nbsp;3, 2002 and February&nbsp;4, 2001 were
approximately $31.5&nbsp;million and $31.7&nbsp;million,
respectively. In addition, the Company increases cost of sales
and reduces inventory by an estimate of purchase discounts and
volume rebates that are unearned at period end, based upon
inventory turnover rates. Such capitalized purchase discounts
totaled $23.5 million and $23.6&nbsp;million as of
February&nbsp;3, 2002 and February&nbsp;4, 2001, respectively.
The replacement cost of inventories approximated
$527.6&nbsp;million and $539.4&nbsp;million at February&nbsp;3,
2002 and February&nbsp;4, 2001, respectively. The carrying value
of the inventory exceeds the current replacement cost primarily
as a result of the application of the LIFO inventory method of
accounting. The Company&#146;s costs of

activities have been decreasing in recent years as the
Company&#146;s increased size and cash flows have enabled it to
take advantage of volume discounts and lower product acquisition
costs.
</FONT>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">From time to time, the Company performs an
analysis of the net realizable value of the inventory, after
consideration of expected disposal costs and normal profit
margins, to determine if the LIFO carrying value of the
inventory is impaired. Should impairment be indicated, the
carrying value of the inventory is reduced. No such impairment
is indicated based on current market conditions.
</FONT>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Inventories at February&nbsp;3, 2002 are
presented net of an allowance of approximately
$0.9&nbsp;million. This allowance results from the
Company&#146;s decision during the second quarter of fiscal year
2001 to eliminate certain product lines (resulting in excess
inventories) and to close certain retail stores (resulting in
some excess inventories that are not economical to redistribute
within the retail chain). See Note&nbsp;13.

Equipment</I></FONT></B>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Property, equipment and purchased software are
recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed for
financial reporting purposes utilizing primarily the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets, which range from 5 to 25&nbsp;years, or for
leasehold improvements and property under capital leases, the
base lease term or estimated useful life, if shorter.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings when incurred.
When property, equipment or software is retired or sold, the net
book value of the asset, reduced by any proceeds, is charged to
gain or loss on the retirement of fixed assets.

Software Development Costs</I></FONT></B>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the
Company adopted SOP&nbsp;98-1 &#147;Accounting for the Cost of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.&#148;
SOP&nbsp;98-1 provides for the capitalization of certain
internal software development costs and amortization over the
life of the related software. Previously, internal software
development costs, consisting primarily of incremental internal
labor costs and benefits, were expensed as incurred. Amounts
capitalized during fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 were
$3.0&nbsp;million, $2.6&nbsp;million and $1.7&nbsp;million,
respectively. Accumulated amortization as of February&nbsp;3,
2002 and February&nbsp;4, 2001 was $2.2&nbsp;million and
$0.7&nbsp;million, respectively.

<B><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Leasehold
Interests</I></FONT></B>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Leasehold interests represent the discounted net
present value of the excess of the fair rental value over the
respective contractual rent of facilities under operating leases
acquired in business combinations. Amortization expense is
computed on a straight-line basis over the respective lease
terms. Accumulated amortization totaled $9.7&nbsp;million and
$10.3&nbsp;million as of February&nbsp;3, 2002 and
February&nbsp;4, 2001, respectively.

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Goodwill</I></FONT></B>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The cost in excess of the fair value of net
assets acquired is amortized on a straight-line basis over
periods ranging from 20 to 30&nbsp;years, depending on the
business acquired. Management estimates such periods using
factors such as entry barriers in certain regions, operating
rights and estimated lives of other operating assets acquired.
The realizability of goodwill and other intangibles is evaluated
periodically when events or circumstances indicate a possible
inability to recover the carrying amount. Such evaluation is
based on cash flow and profitability projections that
incorporate the impact of existing Company businesses. The
analyses necessarily involve significant management judgment to
evaluate the capacity of an acquired business to perform within
projections. Accumulated amortization as of February&nbsp;3,
2002 and February&nbsp;4, 2001 was $11.5&nbsp;million and
$6.7&nbsp;million, respectively. Beginning with fiscal 2002, the
Company will follow Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(&#147;SFAS&#148;) No.&nbsp;142 to account for its goodwill.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangible assets to be held and used or disposed of are
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. In the event assets are impaired, losses are
recognized based on the excess carrying amount over the
estimated fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are
reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair market
value less selling costs. The Company evaluates the carrying
value of long-lived assets on a quarterly basis to determine
whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and an
impairment loss is recognized. Such evaluation is based on the
expected utilization of the related asset and the corresponding
useful life.

<FONT size="2">Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax
consequences in future years of differences between the tax
basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting
amounts (&#147;temporary differences&#148;) at each year end
based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates applicable to the
period in which the temporary differences are expected to affect
taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when
necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized. Income tax expense includes both taxes payable
for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax
assets and liabilities.

<FONT size="2">In October 2001, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued SFAS No.&nbsp;144
(&#147;SFAS&nbsp;144&#148;), &#147;Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long Lived Assets.&#148; SFAS&nbsp;144 replaces
certain previously issued accounting guidance, develops a single
accounting model for long-lived assets, and broadens the
framework previously established for assets to be disposed of by
sale (whether previously held or newly acquired). The Company
adopted SFAS&nbsp;144 as of the beginning of fiscal 2002. The
adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on
the Company&#146;s financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.

<FONT size="2">specific criteria for the initial recognition and
measurement of intangible assets apart from goodwill, and
(3)&nbsp;generally require that unamortized negative goodwill be
written off immediately as an extraordinary gain instead of
being deferred and amortized. SFAS&nbsp;141 also requires that
upon adoption of SFAS&nbsp;142 the Company reclassify the
carrying amounts of certain intangible assets into or out of
goodwill, based on certain criteria. SFAS&nbsp;142 supersedes
APB&nbsp;17, Intangible Assets, and is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2001. SFAS&nbsp;142
primarily addresses the accounting for goodwill and intangible
assets subsequent to their initial recognition. The provisions
of SFAS&nbsp;142: (1)&nbsp;prohibit the amortization of goodwill
and indefinite-lived intangible assets, (2)&nbsp;require that
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested
annually for impairment (and in interim periods if certain
events occur indicating that the carrying value of goodwill
and/or indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired),
(3)&nbsp;require that reporting units be identified for the
purpose of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill,
and (4)&nbsp;remove the forty-year limitation on the
amortization period of intangible assets that have finite lives.
</FONT>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company will adopt the provisions of
SFAS&nbsp;142 in the first quarter ended May&nbsp;5, 2002. The
Company is in the process of preparing for the adoption of
SFAS&nbsp;142 and is making the determinations as to what the
reporting units are and what amounts of goodwill, intangible
assets, other assets, and liabilities should be allocated to
those reporting units. The Company expects that it will no
longer record approximately $4.8&nbsp;million of amortization
relating to the existing goodwill. The Company&#146;s intangible
assets consist primarily of favorable leasehold interests. As
such, SFAS&nbsp;142 did not impact the useful lives assigned to
the intangible assets.
</FONT>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">SFAS&nbsp;142 requires that goodwill be tested
annually for impairment using a two-step process. The first step
is to identify a potential impairment and, in transition, this
step must be measured as of the beginning of the fiscal year.
However, a company has six months from the date of adoption to
complete the first step. Accordingly, the Company expects to
complete that first step of the goodwill impairment test before
the end of the second quarter of 2002. The second step of the
goodwill impairment test measures the amount of the impairment
loss (measured as of the beginning of the year of adoption), if
any, and must be completed by the end of the fiscal year.
Intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life will be
tested for impairment using a one-step process which compares
the fair value to the carrying amount of the asset as of the
beginning of the fiscal year, and pursuant to the requirements
of SFAS&nbsp;142 will be completed during the first quarter of
2002. Any impairment loss resulting from the transitional
impairment tests will be reflected as the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle. The Company has not yet
determined what effect these impairment tests will have on
earnings and financial position.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive
Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants issued SOP&nbsp;98-5, &#147;Reporting on the Cost of
Start-up Activities.&#148; The SOP broadly defines start-up
activities as those one-time activities related to opening a new
facility, introducing a new product or service, conducting
business in a new territory, or commencing some new operation.
The SOP requires that the costs of start-up activities be
expensed as incurred and is effective for financial statements
for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 1998, with
earlier application encouraged. The Company&#146;s historical
accounting policy with respect to the cost of start-up
activities (store preopening expenses) was to defer such costs
for the approximately three month period of time that it takes
to develop a new store facility and to expense such costs during
the month that the new store opens. The Company adopted
SOP&nbsp;98-5 in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, which
required the Company to change its accounting policy to expense
start-up costs as incurred. Upon adoption, the Company expensed
approximately $741,000, net of an income tax benefit of
$468,000, of preopening expenses that had been deferred as of
January&nbsp;31, 1999. Such expense is reflected in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

<FONT size="2">On April&nbsp;27, 2000, the Company acquired
substantially all of the assets of All-Car Distributors, Inc.
(&#147;AllCar&#148;), an operator of 22 stores in Wisconsin and
Michigan. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid
approximately $711,000 in cash, which includes associated
transaction costs, for the assets of AllCar and assumed vendor
accounts payable and certain indebtedness and accrued expenses.
In August 2000, the Company made a payment of approximately
$206,000 pursuant to a purchase price adjustment formula
contained in the original agreement. In addition, the Company is
subject to an additional payment of approximately $215,000 upon
the satisfaction of certain conditions.

<FONT size="2">The AllCar stores are serviced out of the
Company&#146;s Mendota Heights Distribution Center and have been
converted to the Checker name and store format and integrated
into the Company&#146;s operations. In connection with the
integration of the AllCar stores, the Company incurred
transition and integration expenses of approximately
$0.3&nbsp;million and $3.0&nbsp;million during fiscal 2001 and
fiscal 2000, respectively. These expenses consisted primarily of
grand opening advertising, training and re-merchandising costs.
In addition, the Company incurred capital expenditures of
approximately $3.1&nbsp;million during fiscal 2000, consisting
primarily of expenditures related to equipment, store fixtures,
signage and the installation of the Company&#146;s store-level
information systems in the AllCar stores.

financial statements reflect the allocation of the purchase
price, based on estimated fair values at the date of

<FONT size="2">In connection with the integration of the AGA
stores, the Company incurred transition and integration expenses
of approximately $15.7&nbsp;million and $21.3 million during
fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. These expenses consisted
primarily of grand opening advertising, training and

capital expenditures of approximately $5.6 million and
$2.0&nbsp;million during fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively.
These expenditures consisted primarily of equipment, store

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As a result of the AGA acquisition, the Company
analyzed its store locations in California and the Pacific
Northwest and closed 39 of the formerly owned AGA stores based
on several factors including: (1)&nbsp;market saturation;
(2)&nbsp;store profitability; and (3)&nbsp;store size and
format. In addition, the Company finalized a store closure plan
for its own stores that overlapped with AGA stores, which
resulted in pretax charges of approximately $2.5&nbsp;million
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 and $3.7&nbsp;million
during the second quarter of fiscal 2000. These charges were
included in store closing costs in the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Operations. See Note&nbsp;13.

<FONT size="2">In connection with his engagement as Chief
Executive Officer, the Company loaned Mr.&nbsp;Jenkins $550,000,
which he used to finance the purchase of the new home required
as a result of his relocation. This loan was to mature in 1999
and bear interest at a rate of 4.545%. This loan was authorized
by the Board of Directors prior to the commencement of
Mr.&nbsp;Jenkins&#146; employment. In September 1999, the
Company agreed to forgive $300,000 principal amount of the loan
on November&nbsp;1, 1999 and $250,000 principal amount, together
with approximately $18,000 accrued and unpaid interest thereon
on February&nbsp;1, 2000, provided that Mr.&nbsp;Jenkins
remained employed on such date (unless his failure to remain
employed was caused by the Company&#146;s termination of his
employment).

<FONT size="2">In December 2001, in connection with the
Company&#146;s refinancing of its then existing credit facility,
CSK Auto Corporation sold $50.0&nbsp;million aggregate principal
amount of 7% convertible subordinated debentures due December
2006 (the &#147;convertible debentures&#148;) and related
contingently exercisable warrants (the &#147;make-whole
warrants&#148;), consisting of $30.0&nbsp;million in principal
amount and one make-whole warrant to Investcorp CSK Holdings
L.P., an affiliate of Investcorp S.A., which through its
relationship with several of the Company&#146;s stockholders is
deemed to be one of its principal stockholders, and
$20&nbsp;million in principal amount and one make-whole warrant
to an unrelated third party investor in a private placement.
Interest on the debentures is payable quarterly, either in cash
or, at the Company&#146;s election, additional shares of its
common stock. The convertible debentures and make-whole warrants
issued to Investcorp CSK Holdings L.P. were on the same terms as
those issued to the unrelated third party. The Company expects
to convert these debentures for both Investcorp CSK Holdings
L.P. and the third party into approximately 5.75 million shares
of its common stock (approximately 3.45&nbsp;million shares to
Investcorp CSK Holdings L.P. and 2.3&nbsp;million shares to the
third party), based on a conversion price of $8.69 per share,
within thirty days following the effectiveness of the
registration statement relating to such shares, which is
currently pending before the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The actual number of shares to be issued to Investcorp CSK
Holdings L.P. and the third party pursuant to the agreements
relating to the issuance of the convertible debentures and
make-whole warrants will depend on a number of factors,
including the Company&#146;s future average stock price, whether
one of these holders voluntarily converts its convertible
debentures prior to the time that the Company requires
conversion, and to what extent the Company elects to pay
interest on the convertible debentures in shares of its common
stock rather than cash prior to the conversion of the
convertible debentures.

in the formation of PA, a new joint venture (see Note&nbsp;3).
During fiscal 2000, the Company contributed assets and incurred
costs of approximately $3.2&nbsp;million, which include
associated transaction costs. During fiscal 2000 the Company
also incurred non-cash charges of $3.2&nbsp;million to recognize
its proportionate share of PA&#146;s net loss and to write off
the Company&#146;s remaining investment in the joint venture. In
addition, the Company recorded sales to PA of approximately
$0.2&nbsp;million and $0.5&nbsp;million during fiscal 2001 and
2000, respectively, and incurred reimbursable costs of
$0.3&nbsp;million during fiscal 2000. As of February&nbsp;4,

converted its existing $30.0&nbsp;million 7% convertible

Also as part of the Refinancing, the Company incurred an
extraordinary loss of $3.1&nbsp;million, which was a write off
of $5.1&nbsp;million of unamortized deferred financing costs
associated with the prior senior credit facility, net of a
$2.0&nbsp;million income tax benefit.

<FONT size="2">As a result of the increased borrowing and based
on the Company&#146;s financial results for the third quarter of
fiscal 2001, the Company&#146;s ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA
(as defined in the prior senior credit facility) and the
Company&#146;s Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the prior
senior credit facility) would not have been in compliance with
corresponding covenants under the then existing senior credit
facility. Accordingly, the Company negotiated a waiver to these
covenants effective for the third quarter ending
November&nbsp;4, 2001. The proceeds of the Refinancing,
including the proceeds received from the issuance of the
$30&nbsp;million convertible note, were used to refinance the
indebtedness under the prior senior credit facility. The Company
anticipates meeting all required covenants under the new credit
facility in fiscal 2002.

Credit Facility</FONT></I></B>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In connection with the Refinancing, Auto entered
into a new $300.0&nbsp;million senior collateralized, asset
based credit facility that matures December&nbsp;21, 2004. The
new senior credit facility is comprised of a $130&nbsp;million
revolving credit facility and a $170.0&nbsp;million
non-amortizing term loan. Availability under the new senior
credit facility is subject to a borrowing base formula equal to
the lesser of $300.0&nbsp;million and the sum of certain
percentages of eligible inventory and eligible accounts
receivable owned by the Company and its subsidiaries. Under the
borrowing base formula, the borrowing capacity at
February&nbsp;3, 2002 was limited to approximately
$270.5&nbsp;million. Loans under the new senior credit facility
are collateralized by a first priority security interest in
substantially all of the Company&#146;s and its
subsidiaries&#146; assets and in all of the Company&#146;s and
its subsidiaries&#146; capital stock. The loans are guaranteed
by each of the Company&#146;s subsidiaries and by the Company.
</FONT>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Interest may accrue quarterly on the loans with
reference to the base rate (the <I>&#147;Base Rate&#148;</I>)
plus the applicable Base Rate interest margin. The Company may
elect that all or a portion of the loans bear interest at the
Eurodollar rate (the &#147;Eurodollar Rate&#148;) plus the
applicable Eurodollar interest margin. The Base Rate is defined
as the highest of (i)&nbsp;the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%,
(ii)&nbsp;the secondary market rate for three-month certificates
of deposit of money center banks plus 1%, or (iii)&nbsp;the
prime commercial lending rate of the administrative agent. The
Eurodollar Rate is defined as the rate at which eurodollar
deposits for one, two, three or six months or (if and when
available to all of the relevant lenders) nine or twelve months
are offered to the administrative agent in the interbank
eurodollar market. The interest margin for the new senior credit
facility is 2.50% for Base Rate loans and 3.50% for Eurodollar
Rate loans.
</FONT>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The new senior credit facility provides that the
Company may from time to time make optional prepayments of loans
in whole or in part without penalty, subject to minimum
prepayments and reimbursement of the lenders&#146; breakage
costs in the case of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate loans.
</FONT>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The new senior credit facility contains covenants
and other requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries. In
general, the affirmative covenants provide for, among other
requirements, mandatory reporting of financial and other
information to the lenders and notice to the lenders upon the
occurrence of certain events. The affirmative covenants also
include standard covenants requiring the Company to operate its
business in an orderly manner.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Also in connection with the Refinancing, the
Company sold $50.0&nbsp;million aggregate principal amount of 7%
convertible subordinated debentures due December 2006 (the
&#147;convertible subordinated debentures&#148;) and related
contingently exercisable warrants to an unrelated third party

<FONT size="2">Interest is payable quarterly. The Company may
elect to pay such interest in cash or additional shares of its
stock. The Company is a holding company that derives all its
operating income from its subsidiaries, which are restricted,
pursuant to the terms of other financing obligations, from
transferring funds to it to pay cash interest on the convertible
subordinated debentures except under certain circumstances.
These restrictions may limit the Company&#146;s ability to pay
interest on the convertible subordinated debentures in cash.
However, interest must be paid in cash in certain circumstances,
including following the occurrence of an event of default or
certain other events. Upon and during the continuance of an
event of default, interest on the convertible subordinated
debentures and any overdue payments increases to 12%, with
further monthly increases up to 16%.
</FONT>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The convertible subordinated debentures are not
redeemable by the Company at any time prior to maturity on
December&nbsp;1, 2006, except in the event of a change of
control, as defined in such debentures. In the event the
convertible subordinated debentures have not been converted at
maturity in 2006, then the Company must, at its option, either
redeem the convertible subordinated debentures for 100% of the
principal amount in cash or convert the convertible subordinated
debentures into its common stock at a conversion price equal to
the average of the closing sale price of the common stock on
each trading day during the 120 trading days preceding
December&nbsp;21, 2006.

subordinated to the principal and interest obligations owed
under CSK Auto Corporation&#146;s guarantee of Auto&#146;s new

terms of the subordination of Auto&#146;s 11% Senior
Subordinated Notes to the 12% Senior Notes.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Subject to certain limitations, these investors

(including any additional shares of common stock that may be
issued as a result of certain adjustment provisions of the

price for the convertible subordinated debentures, currently set

circumstances.

make an offer to purchase the convertible subordinated
debentures at a redemption price equal to 125% of the principal
amount until December 2002 and 112.5% thereafter. The
convertible subordinated debentures include customary events of
default and, if an event of default occurs, each holder of
convertible subordinated debentures may require the convertible
subordinated debentures to be redeemed at a redemption price
equal to 105%. The convertible subordinated debentures also
provide for monetary penalties if the Company fails to convert
them into common stock upon the holder&#146;s request.

making additional borrowings under its revolving credit
commitment that, when added to the aggregate amount of

does not anticipate that it will limit access to further

<FONT size="2">The Company leases its office and warehouse
facilities, for all but two of its retail stores, and a majority

renewal options of five years each.

amended and restated the Executive Plan, increasing the maximum
number of shares for which options may be granted by 60,000 to a
total of 744,200 shares of common stock. Options granted under
the Plans may be options intended to qualify as incentive stock
options under Section&nbsp;422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, or options not intended to so qualify. In the
event of a sale of more than 80% of the outstanding shares of

all options under the plan are vested. All options expire on the
seventh anniversary of the date of grant (or, under certain

Options granted under the Associate Plan vest in three equal
installments on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of
the date of their grant, assuming the associate&#146;s
employment continues during this period (&#147;Four Year
Vesting&#148;). As of fiscal 1999, all options have three year
vesting. Options granted under the Executive Plan are subject to
the Four Year Vesting as to 84% of such options and performance
vesting (over the same four years) as to the remaining 16%. The
performance vesting criteria is based upon achieving specified
operating results. Partial vesting of options subject to
performance vesting occurs if the Company achieves less than 95%
of the specified operating results. Any portion of options
granted under the Executive Plan which are subject to
performance vesting and which do not vest during the four years
will automatically vest 90&nbsp;days prior to the end of the
option&#146;s term. If the specified operating results are
exceeded for any year by at least 10%, the executive will
receive options for up to an additional 5% (20% on a cumulative
basis) of his or her original option grant at an exercise price
equal to that of the original grant. As a result of exceeding
the specified results, additional option grants of approximately
15,000 and 18,000 were granted in April 2001 and 2000,

<FONT size="2">In connection with the execution of his
employment agreement, the Company&#146;s former President
received an option for 299,337&nbsp;shares of common stock,
exercisable at $12.04 per share. As of February&nbsp;3, 2002,
these options were fully vested.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In December 1997, the Company entered into stock
purchase agreements with certain executives of the Company.
Under the terms of the agreements, the Company issued a total of
180,600&nbsp;shares of its common stock at a price of $12.04 per
share. In addition, the Company granted certain executives
non-qualified options to purchase 96,062 shares of its common
stock, also at a price of $12.04 per share. The options contain
similar terms and vesting provisions as existing options under
the Company&#146;s Executive Stock Option Plan. In addition, in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company recorded deferred
compensation of approximately $0.5&nbsp;million to reflect the
difference between the exercise price and the fair market value
of stock associated with the options granted to certain
executives. The deferred compensation resulted in a charge to
earnings over the vesting period of the options.

<FONT size="2">Of the total consideration paid to the Company of
$2.2&nbsp;million in connection with the purchase of the
Company&#146;s common stock by certain executives, approximately
$1.0&nbsp;million was loaned by the Company to certain
executives to purchase 84,542&nbsp;of the shares (the
&#147;Stock Loans&#148;). In addition, the Company loaned
$0.2&nbsp;million to certain executives during fiscal 2000 to
purchase additional shares. The Stock Loans are collateralized
by the stock under pledge agreements, provide full recourse to
the executive, bear interest at the average rate paid by the
Company under the revolving portion of its senior credit
facility, and mature in December 2003.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company has recorded deferred tax assets of
approximately $24.0&nbsp;million as of February&nbsp;3, 2002
reflecting the benefit of federal and state tax loss
carryforwards approximating $65.2&nbsp;million and
$37.5&nbsp;million, which begin to expire in 2014 and 2007,
respectively. Realization is dependent on generating sufficient
taxable income prior to expiration of the loss carryforwards.
Utilization of certain of the net operating loss carryforwards
may be limited under Section&nbsp;382 of the Internal Revenue
Code. Although realization is not assured, management believes
it is more likely than not that all the deferred tax assets will
be realized. Accordingly, the Company believes that no valuation
allowance is required for deferred tax assets in excess of
deferred tax liabilities. The amount of the deferred tax assets
considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near
term if estimates of future taxable income during the
carryforward period are reduced.

Company implemented a Profitability Enhancement Program

efficiencies and close under-performing stores. As a result of
the PEP, the Company recorded total restructuring and other

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company provides an allowance for estimated
costs and losses to be incurred in connection with store
closures. On an on-going basis, store locations are reviewed and
analyzed based on several factors including market saturation,
store profitability, and store size and format. In addition, the
Company analyzes sales trends and geographical and competitive
factors to determine the viability and future profitability of
its store locations. If a store location does not meet the
Company&#146;s required projections, it is designated for
closure. As a result of its acquisitions over the last several
years, the Company has closed numerous locations as a result of
store overlap with previously existing store locations.
</FONT>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The allowance for store closing costs is included
in accrued expenses and other long term liabilities in the
accompanying financial statements and primarily consists of
three components: (1)&nbsp;future rents to be paid over the
remaining terms of the lease agreements for the stores (net of
estimated probable sublease recoveries); (2)&nbsp;lease
commissions associated with the anticipated store subleases; and
(3)&nbsp;occupancy expenses associated with the closed store
vacancy periods. Such costs are recognized when a store is
specifically identified, costs can be estimated and closure is
planned to be completed within the next twelve months. No
provision is made for employee termination costs. For stores to
be relocated, such costs are recognized when an agreement for
the new location has been reached with a landlord and site plans
meet preliminary municipal approvals. During the period that
they remain open for business, the rent and other operating
expenses for the stores to be closed continue to be reflected in
normal operating expenses.
</FONT>



<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As of February&nbsp;3, 2002, the Company had a
total of 245 store locations and service centers included in the
allowance for store closing costs. Of this total, 65 locations
were vacant, 173 locations were sub-leased and 7 locations were
identified for closure but remained open as of year end. Future
rents will be incurred through the expiration of the
non-cancelable leases, the longest of which runs through March
2018. During fiscal 2002, we expect cash outflows related to the
store locations of approximately $7.0&nbsp;million for rent on
vacant stores, related occupancy expenses, leasing commissions
and net shortfalls on cash rents from subleased locations.

following charges: (1)&nbsp;gross store closing costs of
$7.5&nbsp;million ($6.8&nbsp;million from the PEP) relating to
the identification of 46 stores for closure; (2)&nbsp;an
adjustment to prior plans of $1.5&nbsp;million due to two stores
previously identified for closure under its PEP that were
subsequently removed as they are currently under contract for
sale; and (3)&nbsp;revisions in estimates of $8.6&nbsp;million
($1.3&nbsp;million for plan year 2000, $0.8&nbsp;million for
plan year 1999 and $6.5&nbsp;million for plan years prior to
1999) relating to existing closed stores that have had longer
than anticipated vacancy periods as a result of the economic
slowdown.

following significant charges: (1)&nbsp;gross store closing
costs of $6.1&nbsp;million relating to the identification of 24
stores for closure ($3.7&nbsp;million of which relates to a 1999
closure plan for current stores that overlapped with the

87&nbsp;stores for closure: (1)&nbsp;gross store closing costs
of $5.3&nbsp;million ($2.5&nbsp;million of which relates to a
1999 closure plan for its own stores that overlapped with the
acquired AGA stores); (2)&nbsp;an adjustment to prior plans of
$0.4&nbsp;million ($0.2&nbsp;million for plan year 1998 and
$0.2&nbsp;million for plan year 1997) relating to costs for
store closures that were accrued in previously established plans
but withdrawn from its allowance due to subsequent improvements
in the underlying economics of the store&#146;s performance or
(in the case of store relocation) because the Company was unable
to secure a previously identified site upon acceptable lease
terms; and (3)&nbsp;purchase accounting adjustments of
$4.2&nbsp;million relating to a 1999 closure plan of certain

completed an inventory review to: (1)&nbsp;increase inventory
turnover; (2)&nbsp;provide an optimal inventory level at each
store and depot location; (3)&nbsp;write down the inventory of
the 36 stores planned for closure; and (4)&nbsp;liquidate
inventory not meeting the Company&#146;s new asset return

a reserve for excess inventories resulting from the decision to
eliminate certain products and to liquidate inventory from
closed stores. In conjunction with this decision, a provision of
$17.3&nbsp;million was recorded to reduce inventory values. In
addition, the Company incurred actual costs of approximately
$5.8 million related to labor, warehouse and distribution,
freight and other operating costs associated with the inventory
review and disposal. These costs are reflected as cost of sales
in the accompanying statement of operations for the fiscal year
ended February&nbsp;3, 2002. All costs incurred for inventory
review and disposal were paid prior to February&nbsp;3, 2002.
The balance in the inventory reserve as of February&nbsp;3, 2002

<FONT size="2">The Company was served on March&nbsp;8, 2000 with
a complaint filed in Federal Court in the Eastern District of
New York by the Coalition for a Level Playing Field, L.L.C. and
250 individual auto parts dealers alleging that the Company and
seven other auto parts dealers (AutoZone, Inc., Wal-Mart Stores,
Inc., Advance Stores Company, Inc., Discount Auto, Inc., The Pep
Boys&nbsp;&#151; Manny, Moe and Jack, Inc., O&#146;Reilly
Automotive, Inc., and Keystone Automotive Operations, Inc.)
violated the Robinson-Patman Act. Only 14 of the individual
plaintiffs asserted claims against the Company. The complaint
alleges that the Company and other defendants knowingly either
induced or received discriminatory prices from large suppliers,
allegedly in violation of Section&nbsp;2(a) and 2(f) of the
Robinson-Patman Act, as well as received compensation from large
suppliers for services not performed for those suppliers,
allegedly in violation of Section&nbsp;2(c) of the
Robinson-Patman Act. The complaint seeks injunctive relief
against all defendants and seeks treble damages on behalf of the
individual auto parts dealers who are plaintiffs, plus
attorneys&#146; fees. The complaint alleges that the estimated
average damage amount per plaintiff is $1,000,000 (and more for
those plaintiffs that are wholesale distributors and not simply
jobbers) before trebling. The Company believes the suit is
without merit and plans to vigorously defend it. The Company,
with other defendants, has filed a motion to dismiss and certain
other procedural motions. In October 2001, the court granted the
motions in part and denied them in part. In March 2002, the
court entered an order separating discovery with respect to
liability and damages and setting various discovery deadlines.
The Company does not currently believe that this complaint will
result in liabilities material to its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">During February 2002, the Company entered into an
interest rate swap contract to convert $100.0&nbsp;million of
its 12% Senior Notes to a floating rate, set quarterly, equal to
the 3&nbsp;month LIBOR + 760 basis points. Based on debt
balances at February&nbsp;3, 2002 this will result in 49% of the
Company&#146;s debt at variable interest rates and 51% at fixed
interest rates. The hedge is considered to qualify as a
&#147;fair value&#148; hedge; accordingly, the fair value of the
derivative and changes in the fair value of the underlying debt
will be reported on the balance sheet. Based upon the
Company&#146;s assessment of effectiveness of the hedge, changes
in the fair value of this derivative and the underlying debt are
not expected to result in a material impact on net income.

<FONT size="2">During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the
Company entered into an agreement to sell 13 stores in Texas.
The stores are being sold as they are in relatively remote
locations that do not allow warehousing and distribution
efficiencies. This sale is expected to close in the second
quarter of fiscal 2002 and is estimated to result in net
proceeds of approximately $4.0&nbsp;million. This sale is not
expected to have a material effect on results of operations in
fiscal 2002.

<FONT size="2">The Company&#146;s business is somewhat seasonal
in nature, with the highest sales occurring in the summer months
of June through August (overlapping its second and third fiscal
quarters). In addition, its business is affected by weather
conditions. While unusually severe or inclement weather tends to
reduce sales as customers are more likely to defer elective
maintenance during such periods, extremely hot and cold
temperatures tend to enhance sales by causing auto parts to fail
and sales of seasonal products to increase.

<FONT size="2">The following table sets forth certain quarterly
unaudited operating data for fiscal 2001 and 2000. The unaudited
quarterly information includes all adjustments which management
considers necessary for a fair presentation of the information
shown.

<FONT size="2">Sections&nbsp;10-850&nbsp;&#151; 10-858 of the
Arizona Revised Statutes (&#147;A.R.S.&#148;) grant CSK Auto,
Inc. (&#147;Auto Inc,&#148;) broad powers to indemnify any
person in connection with legal proceedings brought against him
by reason of his present or past status as an officer or
director of Auto, Inc., provided that the person acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in (when
acting in an official capacity) or not opposed to (when acting
in all other circumstances) the best interests of Auto, Inc.,
and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The A.R.S.
also gives Auto, Inc. powers to indemnify any such person
against reasonable expenses in connection with any action by or
in the right of the Registrant, provided the person acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in (when
acting in an official capacity) or not opposed to (when acting
in all other circumstances) the best interests of Auto, Inc.,
except that no indemnification may be made if such person is
adjudged to be liable to Auto, Inc., or in connection with any
proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director
whether or not involving action in the director&#146;s official
capacity, in which the director was held liable on the basis
that the personal benefit was improperly received by the
director. In addition, to the extent that any such person is
successful in the defense of any such legal proceeding, Auto,
Inc. is required by the A.R.S. to indemnify him against
expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, that are actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the

required by the ARS. These provisions will not alter the

<FONT size="2">Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) makes provisions for the
indemnification of officers and directors of corporations in
terms sufficiently broad to indemnify the officers and directors
of the Company under certain circumstances from liabilities
(including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities
Act&#148;).
</FONT>

<FONT size="2">As permitted by the DGCL, CSK Auto
Corporation&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended (the &#147;Auto Corp. Charter&#148;) and the
CSKAUTO.COM, Inc. Certificate of Incorporation (the
&#147;Auto.com Charter&#148;), provide that, to the fullest
extent permitted by the DGCL, no director shall be liable to the
corporation or to its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of his fiduciary duty as a director. Delaware law does
not permit the elimination of liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach
of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, (iii)&nbsp;in respect of certain unlawful dividend
payments or stock redemptions or repurchases, or (iv)&nbsp;for
any transaction from which the director derives an improper
personal benefit. The effect of this provision in the Auto Corp.
and Auto.com Charters is to eliminate the rights of the
corporation and its stockholders (through stockholders&#146;
derivative suits on behalf of the corporation) to recover
monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty
as a director thereof (including breaches resulting from
negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the
situations described in clauses (i)-(iv), inclusive, above.
These provisions will not alter the liability of directors under
federal securities laws.

<FONT size="2">The Restated Articles of Incorporation of
Automotive Information Systems, Inc. (the &#147;AIS
Charter&#148;) provide that no director of Automotive
Information Systems, Inc. (&#147;AIS&#148;) shall be liable to
the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for a
breach of fiduciary duties as a director. However, Minnesota law
specifically does not permit the elimination of liability
(i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;in respect
of certain unlawful dividend payments or unlawful sales of
securities, (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the
director derives an improper personal benefit, or (v)&nbsp;for
any act or omission occurring prior to the effective date of
this Article. The effect of this provision in the AIS Charter is
to eliminate the rights of the corporation and its stockholders
(through stockholders&#146; derivative suits on behalf of the
corporation) to recover monetary damages against a director for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director thereof (including
breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior)
except in the situations described in clauses (i)-(v),
inclusive, above. These provisions will not alter the liability
of directors under federal securities laws.

to Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
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
<I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The undersigned registrants hereby undertake to
respond to requests for information that is incorporated by
reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item&nbsp;4, 10(b), 11
or 13 of this Form, within one business day of the receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first
class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes
information contained in documents filed subsequent to the
effective date of the registration statement through the date of
responding to the request.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The undersigned registrants hereby undertake to
supply by means of post-effective amendment all information
concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired
involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in
the registration statement when it became effective.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants
pursuant to the provisions described in Item&nbsp;20 above, or
otherwise, the registrants have 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 registrants
will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question of 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.

its capacity as trustee of The Carmel Trust, a trust governed by the laws of
Canada and established under a trust settlement made August 17, 1977 ("Chiltern
Trustees Limited"), Glenellen Investment Co., a Cayman Islands corporation,
Transatlantic Investments, LLC., MAYNARD JENKINS and THE JAB TRUST
(collectively, the "Stockholders"), CSK AUTO CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), and CSK AUTO, INC., an Arizona corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, each of whom is a party to that certain Stockholders'
Agreement, dated as of October 30, 1996, as amended by that certain Amendment
thereto, dated as of June 12, 1998, as further amended by that certain letter
agreement, dated December 8, 1998, and as further amended by that certain Second
Amendment thereto (the "Second Amendment"), dated as of December 7, 2001 (the
"Stockholders' Agreement").

                                  RECITALS

      WHEREAS, under the terms of the Stockholders' Agreement, the Company has
granted the Stockholders certain demand and piggyback registration rights in
respect of the Registrable Stock (as defined therein) held by the Stockholders;

      WHEREAS, pursuant to a December 7, 2001 Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"Purchase Agreement") between the Company, LB I Group Inc. ("Lehman") and
Investcorp CSK Holdings L.P. ("ICH," with Lehman, each a "Buyer" and
collectively, the "Buyers") the Company sold to the Buyers (or their assigns) on
December 21, 2001 (the "Closing Date'") (i) $50 million principal amount of its
7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the "Convertible Debentures"), which are
convertible into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share
(the "Common Stock") (as converted, the "Conversion Shares"), and (ii)
associated warrants (the "Make-Whole Warrants") to purchase shares of Common
Stock (as exercised, the "Make-Whole Shares");

      WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Purchase
Agreement, the Company and the Buyers executed a Registration Rights Agreement
(the
<PAGE>
"Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed (i) to
file a registration statement (herein referred to as the "Primary Registration
Statement") within 30 days of the Closing Date, concerning the resale of at
least 12.7 million shares of Common Stock, which shares included the Conversion
Shares, shares payable in lieu of cash interest payments on the Convertible
Debentures, and the Make-Whole Shares (collectively, the "Registrable
Securities"), and (ii) to use its best efforts to have the Primary Registration
Statement be declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") within 120 days of its filing deadline.;

      WHEREAS, in the Second Amendment, the Stockholders (i) agreed to waive any
piggyback registration held under the Stockholders' Agreement in respect of the
registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Primary Registration
Statement, and (ii) agreed not to require the filing of any registration
statement pursuant to any exercise of any demand registration rights held under
the Stockholders' Agreement until the Primary Registration Statement had been
declared effective by the SEC;

      WHEREAS, the SEC has indicated that it deems the issuance of the
Make-Whole Shares to be subject to certain conditions precedent, meaning the
Make-Whole Shares cannot be registered for resale in the Primary Registration
Statement. Because it is not possible to register for resale all of the
Registrable Securities in the Primary Registration Statement pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the Buyers have entered into an
Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the date hereof
(the "Amended Registration Rights Agreement," attached hereto as Annex A). The
Amended Registration Rights Agreement excludes the Make-Whole Shares from the
Primary Registration Statement and requires the Company to file an additional
registration statement (the "Make-Whole Registration Statement") within two
Business Days of the Make-Whole Date (as defined in the Convertible Debentures),
registering for resale any Make-Whole Securities (as defined in the Amended
Registration Rights Agreement) issued or issuable on the Make-Whole Date;

      WHEREAS, the Company is seeking to obtain consents and waivers from the
Stockholders necessary to make the waivers of registration rights granted by the
Stockholders in the Second Amendment apply to any Make-Whole Securities that may
be required to be registered for resale in the Make-Whole Registration
Statement; and

      WHEREAS, the Stockholders wish to set forth certain additional agreements
and understandings concerning future registrations of shares of Capital Stock of
the Company for sale or resale to the public.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and premises
contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                 ARTICLE I
                                 AMENDMENTS

      Section 1.1. The second paragraph of Section 9.1(d)(viii) of the
Stockholders' Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the first sentence of such
paragraph and replacing such first sentence (containing the definition of
"Lehman Registration Statement") as follows:

      "Lehman Registration Statement" shall mean the registration statement
prepared and filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) of the Amended Registration
Rights Agreement.

The remainder of the second paragraph of Section 9.1(d)(viii) shall remain
unchanged.

      Section 1.2. Section 9.1 of the Stockholders Agreement is hereby amended
to add the following new clause "(e)" at the end thereof.

      "(e) If the Company is required to file a Make-Whole Registration
Statement pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) of the Amended Registration Rights
Agreement, following the date on which the Make-Whole Registration Statement is
declared effective, but subject to Section 2.4 of the Third Amendment to the
Stockholders Agreement, the Company shall be obligated to file any registration
statement requested by any Stockholder pursuant to Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.3
and to use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared
effective within the time periods specified below. If the Company fails to file
such registration statement in response to a Stockholder request or to cause
that registration statement to be declared effective within the time periods
specified, the Company shall incur the penalties specified below to any of
Chiltern Trustees Limited, Glenellen Investment Co. and Transatlantic
Investments, LLC (collectively, the "Carmel Stockholders") if such parties
requested the filing of such registration statement.

            (i) If any of the Stockholders exercise their registration rights
      under this Section 9.1 or under Section 9.3 at any time commencing 30 days
      prior to the Make-Whole Date and ending at the time that the Make-Whole
      Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, or at any
      time during the Company's four or five week accounting period (a "Company
      Accounting Month") in which the Make-Whole Registration Statement is
      declared effective by the Commission, the Company shall file a
      registration statement in respect of such exercise not later than two (2)
      Business Days after receipt by the Company of written facsimile notice (as
      defined below) of such exercise, but shall not be obligated to make such
      filing earlier than the second Business Day after the Make-Whole
      Registration Statement is declared effective; provided, however, that if
      the written facsimile notice of such exercise is provided to the Company
      at least three (3) Business Days prior to the declaration of effectiveness
      of the Make-Whole Registration Statement, such filing shall be made by the
      Company on the first Business Day following the declaration of
      effectiveness of the Make-Whole Registration Statement.

            (ii) If any of the Stockholders exercise their registration rights
      under this Section 9.1 or under Section 9.3 during the Company Accounting
      Month immediately following the Company Accounting Month in which the
      Make-Whole Registration


                                       3
<PAGE>
      Statement is declared effective, the Company shall file a registration
      statement in respect of such exercise within five (5) Business Days after
      receipt by the Company of written facsimile notice of such exercise.

            (iii) If any of the Stockholders exercise their registration rights
      under this Section 9.1 or under Section 9.3 after the exercise period
      specified in Section 9.1(e)(ii) above, the Company shall file a
      registration statement in respect of such exercise within thirty (30)
      calendar days after receipt by the Company of written facsimile notice of
      such exercise.

            (iv) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause any
      registration statement filed in accordance with Sections 9.1(e)(i)-(iii),
      above, to become effective within 150 calendar days following the later of
      (i) the Make-Whole Date or (ii) the date on which the Company receives
      written facsimile notice of exercise of such registration rights;
      provided, however, that the Company will, commencing with the first
      business day after such filing and continuing thereafter, diligently seek
      a determination by the Commission as to whether it will be reviewing such
      registration statement and if the Company receives notice from the
      Commission that it will not be reviewing such registration statement, the
      Company shall request effectiveness of such registration statement within
      one (1) Business Day of its receipt of such notification from the
      Commission.

            (v) If a Stockholder exercises its rights under Section 9.1(e)(i)
      hereof, all notifications to be provided hereunder by the Company will be
      provided by facsimile to the other Stockholders at the last facsimile
      number provided by them to the Company and the following time periods will
      apply:

                  A.    Section 9.1(b) - both time periods will change
            from thirty (30) days to one Business Day after receipt; and

                  B.    Section 9.2 - thirty (30) days will change to one
            Business Day after receipt.

            (vi) If a Stockholder exercises its rights under Section 9.1(e)(ii)
      hereof, all notifications to be provided hereunder by the Company will be
      provided by facsimile to the other Stockholders at the last facsimile
      number provided by them to the Company and the following time periods will
      apply:

                  A.    Section 9.1(b) - both time periods will change
            from thirty (30) days to one (1) Business Day; and

                  B.    Section 9.2 - thirty (30) days will change to one
            (1) Business Day.

            (vii) If a Stockholder exercises its rights under Section
      9.1(e)(iii) hereof, all notifications to be provided hereunder will be
      provided by facsimile to the other Stockholders at the last facsimile
      number provided by them to the Company and the following time periods will
      apply:

<PAGE>
                  A.    Section 9.1(b) - both time periods will change
            from thirty (30) days to five (5) Business Days; and

                  B.    Section 9.2 - thirty (30) days will change to five
            (5) Business Days.

            (viii) If the Company fails to file a registration statement, if
      such registration statement is not declared effective by the Commission,
      or if the Company fails to make such registration statement available for
      the sale of the securities covered by such registration statement, in each
      case, within the applicable time period specified above, or if on any day
      after such registration statement has been declared effective by the
      Commission, sales of all securities requested to be included in such
      registration statement cannot be made (each of the foregoing, a
      "Registration Failure"), the Company shall, as relief for damages pay to
      each of the Carmel Stockholders seeking to exercise its registration
      rights under this Section 9.1, which shall be a number of shares of the
      Company's common stock equal to the product of (A) 0.0005 multiplied by
      (B) the number of shares of the Company's common stock that such Carmel
      Stockholder specified in its written facsimile notice requesting
      registration multiplied by (C) the sum of (x) the number of calendar days
      after the applicable filing deadline that the registration is not filed
      with the Commission, plus (y) the number of calendar days after the
      effectiveness deadline in Section 9.1(e)(iv) until the registration
      statement is declared effective by the Commission, plus (z) the number of
      days after the registration statement is declared effective by the
      Commission that it is not available for the sale of the securities
      required to be included in the registration statement, other than in each
      case during a Material Event (as defined below). This payment shall be
      paid in the form of shares of the Company's common stock based on the
      average final quoted price of the Company's common stock on each of the
      five (5) Business Days immediately preceding the date of payment. The
      payment provided in this paragraph shall not be the exclusive remedy for a
      Registration Failure nor shall it serve as a limitation on damages
      recoverable for or equitable relief available for such a Registration
      Failure. The payments to which any Carmel Stockholder shall be entitled
      pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the last
      day of each calendar month during which such payments are incurred and
      (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the
      payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make such payments in
      a timely manner, such payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per
      month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.

      (ix) If there is any conflict between Section 9.1(d) of the Stockholders'
Agreement and this Section 9.1(e), the terms of this Section 9.1(e) shall
control. If the Company is not required to file a Make-Whole Registration
Statement pursuant to the terms of the Amended Registration Rights Agreement,
this Section 9.1(e) shall terminate.

      For purposes hereof, "Make-Whole Registration Statement" shall mean the
registration statement to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) of
the Amended Registration Rights Agreement. For purposes hereof, "Material Event"
shall mean any event that results in (i) a registration statement, in the good
faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company and its counsel,
containing an untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a
material


                                       5
<PAGE>
fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (ii) the need to
delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company,
the disclosure of which at that time is not, in the good faith opinion of the
Company's Board of Directors and its counsel, in the best interests of the
Company; provided, however, that during any three hundred sixty-five (365) day
period no more than two such Material Events shall be permitted and such
Material Events shall not exceed an aggregate of forty-five (45) days.

      For purpose hereof, "written facsimile notice" shall mean notice
sent via facsimile to the Company at 602-234-1713, attention:  Martin
Fraser and at 602-264-0495, attention: Lon Novatt, between 9:00 a.m. and
5:00 p.m., New York time on a Business Day.

      For purposes hereof, "Business Day" shall mean any day other than
Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in the City of New
York are authorized or required by law to remain closed."

                                 ARTICLE II
                             CONSENT AND WAIVER

      Section 2.1. Consent. Each of the Stockholders hereby consents to the
execution and delivery of Amendment No. 1 to the Securities Purchase Agreement,
the Amended Registration Rights Agreement, and all documents contemplated
therein, the transactions contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties
thereto of their respective obligations thereunder and the rights granted to the
Buyers thereunder, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in
the Stockholders' Agreement. To the extent that the Stockholders' rights under
Article 9 of the Stockholders' Agreement to include their Registrable Stock (as
defined in the Stockholders' Agreement) in any registration of the Company's
securities conflicts with the preferential allocation granted to the Buyers
under the Amended Registration Rights Agreement in respect of their Make-Whole
Securities, each of the Stockholders hereby expressly waives any such conflict
and consent to the granting of such preferential registration rights to the
Buyers.

      Section 2.2. Waivers. Each Stockholder hereby waives the terms and
provisions of the Stockholders' Agreement to the extent that the transactions
contemplated by the Amended Registration Rights Agreement do not comply with
such terms and provisions. Specifically, without limitation, each Stockholder
(i) waives any piggyback registration rights it may have under the Stockholders'
Agreement in respect of the registration contemplated by Section 2(a)(ii) of the
Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) agrees, in the event a Make-Whole
Registration Statement must be filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) of the Amended
Registration Rights Agreement, not to require the filing of any registration
statement pursuant to its exercise of any demand registration rights it may have
under Article 9 of the Stockholders' Agreement from the Make-Whole Date until
after the Make-Whole Registration Statement has been declared effective; and
(iii) agrees that, notwithstanding Section 9.1(c) or any other provision of the
Stockholders' Agreement (including Section 2.5 of this Third Amendment),
regardless of any registration statements the Company may have on file with the
SEC that are currently effective or on which effectiveness is pending (including
the Company Registration Statement, the Investcorp Registration Statement, the
Carmel Registration Statement, and the Default Registration Statement, each as
defined below in Section 2.5), the Company shall not be


                                       6
<PAGE>
prohibited by any Stockholder from filing the Make-Whole Registration Statement,
if such filing is necessary pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) of the Amended
Registration Rights Agreement

      Section 2.3. Withdrawal of Registration Request. Each of the Carmel
Stockholders shall, as of the date hereof, withdraw the registration request it
submitted to the Company on April 12, 2002 pursuant to Section 9.3 of the
Stockholders' Agreement (the "Registration Request"). The Registration Request
shall be treated as null, void and without force or effect and none of the other
parties to the Stockholders' Agreement shall have any rights (including
piggy-back registration rights) or obligations as a result of the original
submission of the Registration Request or any subsequent submission of a request
for registration with respect or in response to such Registration Request.

      Section 2.4. Blackout and Lock-Up Periods.

      (a) All capitalized terms used in this Section 2.4 and not defined therein
or previously in this Third Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in
Section 2.5 of this Third Amendment.

      (b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.1 of the Stockholders Agreement,
except as provided in Section 2.5 of this Third Amendment, no Stockholder shall
exercise its rights to request any registration of shares under the
Stockholders' Agreement prior to the earliest occurrence of the following
events: (i) the Company not receiving a request to file a Default Registration
Statement by the eleventh day following a Company Default, (ii) the completion
of the period of distribution relating to an offering commenced pursuant to the
Default Registration Statement; (iii) the completion of the period of
distribution relating to an offering commenced pursuant to the Investcorp
Registration Statement; (iv) the completion of the period of distribution
relating to an offering commenced pursuant to the Carmel Registration Statement;
(v) the Company not receiving any request to file either the Investcorp
Registration Statement or the Carmel Registration Statement by the end of the
twenty-first (21st) day following the Lock-Up Release or the expiration of any
lock-ups imposed in connection with the Company Registration Statement; or (vi)
both the Company and the Carmel Stockholders have withdrawn all of their
respective shares from the Company Registration Statement. For purposes of this
Section 2.4, the period of distribution for any offering (other than the
offering in connection with the Default Registration Statement) shall be 90 days
following the effectiveness of the registration statement related to such
offering, or such earlier time as all of the shares registered under such
registration statement have been sold. In the case of the offering related to
the Default Registration Statement, the period of distribution shall be 180 days
following the effectiveness of the Default Registration Statement, or such
earlier time as all of the shares registered under the Default Registration
Statement have been sold.

      (c) In addition to any lock-up periods that may be imposed on any of the
Stockholders or the Company pursuant to Section 2.5, each of the Stockholders
and the Company agrees that it will not sell or issue (either publicly or
privately) any shares of Registrable Stock or any other shares of Capital Stock
(or securities convertible into Common Stock) during the following periods:


                                       7
<PAGE>
            (i) from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (A) the
effectiveness of the Company Registration Statement; (B) the effectiveness of
the Default Registration Statement; (C) the end of the tenth day following a
Company Default, if the Company has not received a request to file a Default
Registration Statement by such time; or (D) such time as both the Company and
the Carmel Stockholders have withdrawn all of their respective shares from the
Company Registration Statement; and

            (ii) if the Company Registration Statement is declared effective,
from the Lock-Up Release or the expiration of any lock-ups imposed in connection
with the Company Registration Statement (collectively, the "Lock-Up Termination
Date") until the earlier of (X) the effectiveness of the Investcorp Registration
Statement; (Y) the effectiveness of the Carmel Registration Statement; or (Z)
the twenty-first day following the Lock-Up Termination Date, if the Company has
not received any request to file either the Investcorp Registration Statement or
the Carmel Registration Statement by such time

      (d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Third Amendment, the
Company may issue shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of any convertible
securities or the exercise of any options outstanding as of the date hereof or
options issued in the future under plans in existence as of the date hereof.
Specifically, without limitation, the Company shall not be prohibited under this
Third Amendment from (A) converting the Convertible Debentures into Common Stock
upon the effectiveness of the Lehman Registration Statement; (B) issuing shares
of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Make-Whole Warrants; (C) issuing shares
upon the exercise of options issued under existing option plans; or (D) issuing
options under plans in existence as of the date hereof.

      (e) Except for the Lehman Registration Statement, the Make-Whole
Registration Statement, or a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or
any successor form to such forms or a registration statement required under the
registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the Company's
Senior Notes issued on or about the Closing Date, the Company shall not file any
registration statements prior to the earlier to occur of the events described in
Section 2.4(b).

      Section 2.5. Registration Statements.

      (a) The Company shall file a registration statement (the "Company
Registration Statement"), which, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be
deemed to be an incidental registration statement under Section 9.2 of the
Stockholders' Agreement, registering shares of Capital Stock for sale to the
public in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.5 by June 14, 2002 (the
"Registration Date"), which is two days following the scheduled meeting of the
stockholders of the Company on a proposal to amend the Company's certificate of
incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of the Company's
Common Stock to 58,000,000. Each Stockholder agrees to vote all of its shares of
Capital Stock in favor of approval of such proposal. Each Stockholder and the
Company agree to keep all members of the Company's board of directors appraised
of potential significant Company-related strategic developments, including any
discussions with third parties related thereto, until the effectiveness of the
Company Registration Statement.


                                       8
<PAGE>
      (b) Each Stockholder other than each of the Carmel Stockholders agrees
that it shall not request to include any shares of Common Stock held by such
party in the Company Registration Statement, pursuant to Section 9.2 of the
Stockholders' Agreement or otherwise, and hereby waives its right to participate
in the Company Registration Statement.

      (c) The total number of shares of Common Stock to be registered for sale
or resale in the Company Registration Statement shall be 11,284,000 (not
including any shares necessary to cover the over-allotment option), subject to
adjustment by the managing underwriter for the offering (as set forth in
paragraph 2.5(d) below). Of this amount, the Company shall register 5,642,000
shares of Common Stock for sale (plus any additional shares necessary to cover
the over-allotment option), and the Carmel Stockholders shall collectively
register up to 5,642,000 shares of Common Stock for resale.

      (d) The registration of Common Stock made in the Company Registration
Statement is to involve an underwritten public offering (the "Company
Offering"), and the managing underwriters shall be agreed upon in writing as
soon as possible by the Company and the Carmel Stockholders. The Carmel
Stockholders shall select the one firm from such managing underwriters that will
make all decisions as to when any lock-ups entered into in connection with the
Company Registration Statement shall terminate (the "Lock-Up Release
Underwriter"). The Lock-Up Release Underwriter shall serve as one of the joint
book running underwriters for the Company Offering. The Company shall determine
if there shall be two or three joint book running underwriters and shall select
the one or two additional joint book running underwriters (collectively, the
"Company Underwriter" and, together with the Lock-Up Release Underwriter, the
"Underwriter"), as the case may be, for the Company Offering. If the
Underwriter advises the Company in writing (with a copy to each Carmel
Stockholder) that, in its good faith opinion, the number of shares of Common
Stock requested to be included in the Company Registration Statement would
materially adversely affect the marketing of the shares to be sold by the
Company or the Carmel Stockholders (such writing to state the approximate number
of shares which may be included in the Company Offering without such effect),
the Company shall exclude from such registration, to the extent of the number of
shares which the Company is so advised must be excluded from the Company
Offering to avoid such adverse effect, (i) first, shares that the Company
proposes to register for its own account, up to 2,600,000 shares of Common
Stock; (ii) second, shares that the Carmel Stockholders requested to be included
in such registration up to an aggregate maximum for all Carmel Stockholders of
2,600,000 shares of Common Stock; and (iii) third, additional shares allocated
pro rata between the number of remaining shares that the Company proposed to
register for its own account and the number of remaining shares that the Carmel
Stockholders requested to be included in the Company Registration Statement. If
there are three joint book running underwriters, then the Company and the Carmel
Stockholders shall require that the Underwriter's determinations regarding (A)
the offering price of the shares in the Company Offering and (B) any reduction
in the number of shares to be included in the Company Offering (as provided in
the previous sentence), shall be made either by agreement among the joint book
running underwriters or, if they do not reach such an agreement, by averaging
the good faith price or reduction, as the case may be, suggested by the Lock-Up
Release Underwriter and the good faith price or reduction, as the case may be,
suggested by the Company Underwriter. Notwithstanding Section 9.8 of the
Stockholders'


                                       9
<PAGE>
Agreement, if requested in writing by the Underwriter, each Stockholder agrees
not to sell publicly any shares of Registrable Stock or any other shares of
Capital Stock (other than shares of Registrable Stock or other shares of Capital
Stock being registered in the Company Offering), without the consent of the
Lock-Up Release Underwriter, for a period of not more than 90 days following the
effective date of the Company Registration Statement. For purposes of
clarification, "materially adversely affect" means a reduction in price of at
least $0.50 per share.

      (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.5, at any time
prior to the time the Company Registration Statement is declared effective, any
party that has registered shares for sale or resale pursuant to the Company
Registration Statement shall have the right to not sell all or any portion of
such shares pursuant to, and may withdraw all or any portion of such shares
from, the Company Registration Statement, subject to the provisions of this
Section 2.5(e). The Company shall provide the Carmel Stockholders with written
notice (the "Effectiveness Notice") at least 48 hours prior to the date of the
proposed effectiveness. The Company and the Carmel Stockholders shall
immediately inform each other upon any withdrawal of shares from the Company
Registration Statement.

            (i) If the Carmel Stockholders withdraw all of their shares from the
Company Registration Statement (regardless of the price of the shares offered
pursuant to the Company Registration Statement), the Company may (but shall not
be obligated to) proceed to register shares for its own account pursuant to the
Company Registration Statement and such withdrawal shall not terminate the
lock-ups of the Carmel Stockholders entered into pursuant to Section 2.5(d). If
the Carmel Stockholders withdraw some but not all of their shares from the
Company Registration Statement, the Company shall either (A) proceed to register
the remaining Carmel Stockholder shares and shares for its own account pursuant
to the Company Registration Statement, or (B) shall withdraw all of the
Company's shares from the Company Registration Statement, in which case the
parties' rights with respect to the Company Registration Statement will be
governed by the remainder of this Section 2.5(e).

            (ii) If the Company withdraws all of its shares from the Company
Registration Statement and (A) the shares offered for sale thereunder are priced
by the Underwriter at more than 80% of the closing price on the NYSE for the
Company's Common Stock on May 8, 2002 per share (the "Price"), and (B) the
Carmel Stockholders have not previously or contemporaneously withdrawn all of
their shares from the Company Registration Statement, then the Carmel
Stockholders shall, within two Business Days of the Company's withdrawing its
shares from the Company Registration Statement either (X) withdraw their shares
from the Company Registration Statement; (Y) direct the Company to continue to
use its best efforts to have the Company Registration Statement (registering
only shares included thereunder for resale by the Carmel Stockholders) declared
effective and to cooperate in such manner as may be reasonably requested by the
Carmel Stockholders in the marketing of all shares to be sold in the Company
Offering ("Marketing Activities," which shall include, without limitation, the
Company participating in any customary "road shows" and related presentations to
prospective purchasers in connection therewith, and using all reasonable efforts
to maximize the price at which such shares are sold); or (Z) direct the Company
to file a Default Registration Statement (as defined below) pursuant to Section
2.5(f)(v) of this Third Amendment.


                                       10

            (iii) If the Company withdraws all of its shares from the Company
Registration Statement and the shares offered for sale thereunder are priced by
the Underwriter at or below the Price, and if the Carmel Stockholders have not
withdrawn or do not withdraw all of their shares from the Company Registration
Statement, the Company shall use its best efforts to file and to cause to go
effective an amended Company Registration Statement, and shall cooperate in
Marketing Activities as reasonably requested by the Carmel Stockholders.

            (iv) In the event that the both the Company and each of the Carmel
Stockholders have withdrawn all of their shares from the Company Registration
Statement pursuant to this Section 2.5(e), all terms and conditions of this
Third Amendment and the Stockholders' Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect, except that the restrictions set forth in Section 2.4 of this Third
Amendment shall terminate. If the Company or one or more Carmel Stockholders
refuses to enter into an underwriting agreement in connection with the Company
Registration Statement or determines to sell less than all of its shares
pursuant to such underwriting agreement, any such refusing party shall be deemed
under this Third Amendment to have withdrawn from the Company Registration
Statement any of its shares not sold pursuant to such underwriting agreement.

            (v) Once the Company or any Carmel Stockholder has withdrawn its
shares from the Company Registration Statement, any such withdrawing party shall
not be entitled to re-include any withdrawn shares in the Company Registration
Statement without the prior written consent of all non-withdrawing parties.

      (f)   Subsequent Registration Statements.

            (i) In any underwriting agreement relating to the Company Offering,
the Company will require that if the Lock-Up Release Underwriter agrees to an
early release of any lock-up imposed in connection with the Company Registration
Statement ("Lock-Up Release"), which Lock-Up Release shall apply to all such
lock-ups, each other underwriter involved in the Company Offering must also
release any such lock-up.

            (ii) Following the Lock-Up Termination Date, the Company shall
provide written notice of the occurrence of such Lock-Up Termination Date to all
Stockholders. Each member of the Investcorp Group shall have ten (10) days from
receipt of such notice to request the Company to file a registration statement
under Section 9.1 or 9.3 of the Stockholders' Agreement (the "Investcorp
Registration Statement"), which registration statement may include some or all
of the shares held by any such Investcorp Group member. Upon receiving a request
pursuant to this Section 2.5(f)(ii), the Company shall promptly notify the
Carmel Stockholders and The JAB Trust in writing that it has received a request
to file the Investcorp Registration Statement. Each Carmel Stockholder and The
JAB Trust shall have 10 days following receipt of such notice from the Company
to inform the Company whether such Stockholder wishes to include its shares in
the Investcorp Registration Statement. Each Carmel Stockholder shall have the
right to include any of its remaining shares (whether registered or
unregistered) in the Investcorp Registration Statement, and The JAB Trust shall
have the right to include any of its shares in the Investcorp Registration
Statement. The Company shall not be delayed in filing the Investcorp
Registration


                                       11
<PAGE>
Statement by the application of the last sentence of Section 9.1(c) of the
Stockholders' Agreement with respect to the Company Registration Statement.

            (iii) If the registration of Common Stock made in the Investcorp
Registration Statement involves an underwritten public offering (the "Investcorp
Offering"), the Investcorp Group shall be entitled to select the sole or the
lead managing underwriter, as the case may be, of such offering (the "Investcorp
Underwriter"); provided, however, that if (A) the Carmel Stockholders do not
sell all of their shares pursuant to the Company Registration Statement, and (B)
the shares offered in the Company Offering were priced by the Underwriter (net
of underwriting discounts and commissions) below the Price, then (i) three joint
book running underwriters shall participate in the Investcorp Offering, (ii) one
of which shall be selected by the Carmel Stockholders, and two of which shall be
selected by the Investcorp Group (the three joint book running underwriters
shall be referred to herein as the "Investcorp Underwriter"), and (iii)
agreements among the underwriters with regard to price and reduction in the
number of shares included in the Investcorp Offering shall be made in the manner
specified in Section 2.5(d). If the Investcorp Underwriter advises the Company
in writing (with a copy to each Stockholder registering shares for resale in the
Investcorp Registration Statement) that, in its good faith opinion, the number
of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in the Investcorp
Registration Statement would materially adversely affect (as defined in Section
2.5(d)) the marketing of the shares to be sold in such offering (such writing to
state the approximate number of shares which may be included in such offering
without such effect), the Company shall include in such registration: first, a
number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Investcorp Group equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock sold by the Carmel Stockholders pursuant to the
Company Registration Statement; and second, shares allocated pro rata between
the remaining collective number of shares proposed to be included by members of
the Investcorp Group and the collective number of shares proposed to be included
by the Carmel Stockholders and The JAB Trust. If requested in writing by the
Investcorp Underwriter, each Stockholder agrees not to sell publicly any shares
of Registrable Stock or any other shares of Capital Stock (other than shares of
Registrable Stock or other shares of Capital Stock being registered in the
Investcorp Offering), without the consent of such Investcorp Underwriter, for a
period of not more than 90 days following the effective date of the Investcorp
Registration Statement.

            (iv) If following receipt of notice from the Company concerning the
Lock-Up Termination Date the Investcorp Group does not request that the Company
file the Investcorp Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.6(f)(ii) within
such ten day period, each Carmel Stockholder will have ten (10) days to request
the Company to file a registration statement under Section 9.1 or 9.3 of the
Stockholders' Agreement (the "Carmel Registration Statement"). Only the Carmel
Stockholders shall be entitled to participate in the Carmel Registration
Statement, and each Carmel Stockholder shall have the right to include any of
its remaining shares (whether registered or unregistered) in the Carmel
Registration Statement. If the registration of Common Stock made in the Carmel
Registration Statement involves an underwritten public offering (the "Carmel
Offering"), the Carmel Stockholders shall be entitled to select the sole or the
lead managing underwriter, as the case may be, of such offering (the "Carmel
Underwriter"). If requested in writing by the Carmel Underwriter, the Company
and each Stockholder (other than each Carmel Stockholder participating in such
offering) agree not to sell publicly any shares of


                                       12
<PAGE>
Registrable Stock or any other shares of Capital Stock without the consent of
such underwriter for a period of not more than 90 days following the effective
date of the Carmel Registration Statement. The Company shall not be delayed in
filing the Carmel Registration Statement by the application of the last sentence
of Section 9.1(c) of the Stockholders' Agreement with respect to the Company
Registration Statement or otherwise.

            (v) The Stockholders agree that a "Company Default" shall have
occurred if, at any time prior to the Carmel Stockholders withdrawing all of its
shares from the Company Registration Statement, the Company (i) does not file
the Company Registration Statement by the Registration Date (a "Filing
Default"); (ii) does not use its best efforts to have the Company Registration
Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable or cooperate in
Marketing Activities reasonably requested by the Carmel Stockholders (a "Best
Efforts Default"); or (iii) has withdrawn all of its shares from the Company
Registration Statement and the shares offered for sale thereunder are priced by
the Underwriter at more than the Price (a "Benchmark Withdrawal Default"). Upon
the occurrence of a Company Default, notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, each Carmel Stockholder may during the Default Notice Period (as
defined in Section 2.5(f)(vi) request that the Company file a registration
statement under Section 9.1 or 9.3 of the Stockholders' Agreement (the "Default
Registration Statement"), which registration statement may include some or all
of the shares held by any such Carmel Stockholder. The Company must file any
Default Registration Statement within two Business Days of receiving such a
request from any Carmel Stockholder. If the Company fails to timely file a
Default Registration Statement, or fails to cause the Default Registration
Statement to be declared effective within 150 days of the date such Default
Registration Statement was filed, it shall pay the Carmel Stockholders damages
calculated in the same manner provided in Section 9.1(d)(viii) of the
Stockholders' Agreement. The Company and each Stockholder (other than each
Carmel Stockholder) shall have no right to include any shares (whether
registered or unregistered) in the Default Registration Statement. The Company
shall be bound by the final sentence of Section 9.1(c) following the filing of
the Default Registration Statement. Additionally, the Company and each
Stockholder (other than each Carmel Stockholder participating in such offering)
agree not to issue or sell (publicly or privately) any shares of Registrable
Stock or any other shares of Capital Stock for 180 days following the
effectiveness of the Default Registration Statement or such earlier time as all
of the shares registered under the Default Registration Statement have been
sold.

            (vi) The "Default Notice Period" shall mean: (A) with respect to a
Filing Default, ten (10) days after such Filing Default; (B) with respect to a
Best Efforts Default, at any time when such a Company Default has occurred and
is continuing, or, if the Company has delivered to the Carmel Stockholders
written notice of its intent to abandon its efforts to cause the Company
Registration Statement to go effective, within ten (10) days of the Carmel
Stockholders' receipt of such notice; or (iii) with respect to a Benchmark
Withdrawal Default, two Business Days after such Benchmark Withdrawal Default.

      Section 2.6. Appointment of Additional Directors. If the Stockholders'
Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to Section 12 thereof, upon a request
from the Carmel Stockholders, each Stockholder party to this Third Amendment
agrees to take all possible actions to cause two additional persons designated
by the Carmel Stockholders (in addition to the three


                                       13
<PAGE>
persons designated by the Carmel Stockholders as of the date of this Third
Amendment) to be elected to the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"). If
the Carmel Stockholders designate additional persons to be elected to the Board,
each Stockholder party to this Third Amendment further agrees to take all
possible actions to cause two additional persons designated by the Investcorp
Group (in addition to any persons designated by the Carmel Stockholders as of
the date of this Third Amendment) to be elected to the Board. Any actions taken
by the Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be conducted as promptly
as practicable following the annual meeting of the Company's stockholders on
June 12, 2002, and prior to the next such annual meeting of the Company's
stockholders.

      Section 2.7. Continuation of Stockholders' Agreement. Subject to the terms
of this Third Amendment and the Stockholders' Agreement generally, to the extent
any Stockholder retains any Registrable Stock all rights or obligations granted
under the Stockholders' Agreement not expressly waived or amended hereby shall
continue to be binding on each such Stockholder, including without limitation
all registration rights and obligations applicable to such Registrable Stock.

                               MISCELLANEOUS


      3.1. Counterparts. This Third Amendment may be signed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
