Arrangement of a Registrant.</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As previously reported in CSK Auto Corporation&#146;s (the &#147;Company&#148;) Current Report on Form 8-K filed
on July&nbsp;7, 2006, CSK Auto, Inc. (&#147;Auto&#148;), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, received a
notice from the holders of over 25% in aggregate principal amount of
its <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">
3&nbsp;3/8%</FONT> Senior Exchangeable
Notes due 2025 (the &#147;3 3/8% Notes&#148;) on July&nbsp;5, 2006 that
such holders had accelerated the 3 3/8% Notes as
a result of the failure to file the Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended
January&nbsp;29, 2006 with the trustee for the 3 3/8% Notes before July&nbsp;2, 2006 (the end of the cure period
for the previously disclosed defaults under the indenture governing
the 3 3/8% Notes). On July&nbsp;10,
2006, Auto borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $125&nbsp;million under its previously announced
new Term Credit Agreement (the &#147;Credit Agreement&#148;) to retire all of the $125&nbsp;million of outstanding
3 3/8% Notes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The borrowing is guaranteed by the Company and CSKAUTO.COM, Inc. (&#147;AUTO.COM&#148;), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Auto, and is secured by a second lien security interest in the inventory and
receivables of Auto and the guarantors and by a first lien security interest in substantially all
of their other assets. The borrowing is required to be repaid in consecutive quarterly
installments, commencing December&nbsp;31, 2006, in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal
amount of the loans under the Credit Agreement (the &#147;Term Loans&#148;), with the balance payable in full
on the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Credit
Agreement contains, among other things, limitations on liens, indebtedness, mergers, dispositions
of assets, investments, payments in respect of capital stock, modifications of material
indebtedness, changes in fiscal year, transactions with affiliates, lines of business, and swap
agreements. Auto is also subject to financial covenants under the Credit Agreement measuring its
performance against standards set for leverage and fixed charge coverage.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Term Loans bear interest at a base rate or the Eurodollar rate, as defined in the Credit
Agreement, plus, in either case, a margin that fluctuates depending upon the rating of the Term
Loans.
