</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Due to a blackout period imposed by CSK Auto Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) (as previously announced
in a Form 8-K dated December&nbsp;13, 2006), associates who have been awarded stock options under the
Company&#146;s stock option plans will be unable to exercise any outstanding options until the Company
becomes current in its financial reporting obligations. It is expected that a number of previously
granted options, including those granted pursuant to a general grant on December&nbsp;21, 1999, will
expire during this blackout period. On December&nbsp;15, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the
Company&#146;s Board of Directors determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to allow
all active associates with outstanding options granted on December&nbsp;21, 1999 the opportunity to
exercise these options at such time that the trading blackout ends, rather than let the options
lapse during the blackout period. Accordingly, all active associates with outstanding stock
options that were granted on December&nbsp;21, 1999 were provided the opportunity to elect to either
exercise their amended options during the calendar year 2007 after the expiration of the blackout
period (and subject to other applicable trading restrictions) or have their options expire
unexercised on December&nbsp;31, 2007. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such options may expire sooner
than December&nbsp;31, 2007 under certain circumstances (e.g., termination of employment) as provided in
the governing stock option plan and contract. A copy of the election agreement is filed as Exhibit
10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Associates with outstanding stock options under the December&nbsp;21, 1999 grant include the following
named executive officers, who executed their respective election agreements on December&nbsp;18, 2006:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On December&nbsp;21, 1999, CSK Auto Corporation awarded to you stock options to purchase XXX shares
of CSK Auto common stock at an exercise price of $14.00/share with a three year vesting schedule.
This letter is intended to amend the terms of such options to extend the expiration date and to
document your acceptance of the options and the terms and conditions under which they were granted.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to the terms of your stock option grant, your options are currently set to expire on
December&nbsp;21, 2006. As you may know, CSK Auto has informed all holders of Company stock options
that they are currently prohibited from exercising their stock options due to restrictions imposed
by federal securities laws. CSK Auto anticipates that this option exercise prohibition may extend
through the end of this year and beyond (until the Company is and remains current in its financial
reporting obligations), meaning that you will not be permitted to exercise your options prior to
the December&nbsp;21, 2006 expiration date. As a result, CSK Auto has decided to amend your December
21, 1999 stock options to extend the expiration date until December&nbsp;31, 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to satisfy certain requirements under the federal tax code in connection with the
extension of your options, your signature below is deemed to be both an acceptance of CSK Auto&#146;s
offer to extend the expiration date of your December&nbsp;21, 1999 stock options until December&nbsp;31, 2007
and an election by you to either exercise your December&nbsp;21, 1999 stock options during 2007 (once
such an exercise is otherwise permissible under federal securities laws, including laws regarding
insider trading, and the Company&#146;s insider trading policies, and subject to any other exercise
restrictions set forth in the governing stock option plan and contract) or to allow them to expire
unexercised at the end of 2007. As a result of the continuing option exercise prohibition and this
extension of your options, you will not be permitted to exercise your December&nbsp;21, 1999 stock
options in 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Please note that CSK Auto is not providing here nor will it provide tax, legal or financial
advice. You are urged to consult your own advisors in connection with taking any action with
respect to your stock options.</B>
