In order to induce LKQ to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Shareholder makes the following representations and warranties with regard to the Company:

4.1 Organization, Power and Authority of the Company. Each Company is a corporation (or in the case of Beaverton, a limited liability company) duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation or formation with corporate or limited liability company power and authority and all licenses and permits (except with respect to licenses and permits the failure to possess which would not have a Material

Adverse Effect) necessary to own or lease its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Each Company is legally qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction where it conducts business.

4.2 Capital Stock of the Company. The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock or membership interests of each Company is set forth in Section 4.2 of the Disclosure Schedule attached hereto (the “Disclosure Schedule”). All voting rights in each Company are vested exclusively in its shares of common stock or membership interests, and there are no voting trusts, proxies or other agreements or understandings with respect to the voting of the capital stock or membership interests of any Company. All of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock or membership interests of each Company are validly authorized and issued, fully paid and non-assessable. There are no outstanding warrants, options or rights of any kind to acquire from any Company or the Shareholder any shares of common stock of any Company or securities of any kind, and there are no preemptive rights with respect to the issuance or sale of shares of capital stock of any Company. No Company has any obligation to acquire any of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock or any other security issued by it from any holder thereof.

Such financial statements (including the related notes thereto), have been prepared on a basis consistent with prior periods, present fairly the financial position of each Company as of their respective dates, and the results of operations and cash flows for each Company for the periods presented therein, and reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of results for the periods presented, except as set forth in Section 4.4 of the Disclosure Schedule. The unaudited balance sheet of each Company at July 31, 2004 is referred to herein as the “2004 Balance Sheet.”

4.5 Liabilities. No Company has any material liabilities or obligations, either accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, except: (i) to the extent reflected or taken into account in determining net worth in the 2004 Balance Sheet and not heretofore paid or discharged; (ii) to the extent clearly disclosed and specifically set forth in or incorporated by express reference in Section 4.5 of the Disclosure Schedule; and (iii) normal liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business, consistent with prior practice, since the date of the 2004 Balance Sheet.

There is no tax deficiency proposed or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company. There are no material tax liens upon any property or assets of the Company. The Company has made all payments of estimated taxes when due in amounts sufficient to avoid the imposition of any penalty. The Shareholder shall be liable for all Taxes of or relating to the Company and its business, assets and operations attributable to periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date, and, other than any Tax liability which would not have been incurred but for a breach of this Agreement by the Shareholder, LKQ shall be liable for all Taxes of or relating to the Company and its business, assets and operations attributable to periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date. Liability of the Shareholder and LKQ under this Section shall include all fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any claim for which they are liable.

4.6.2 All taxes and other assessments and levies which the Company was required by law to withhold or to collect have been duly withheld and collected, and have been paid over to the proper governmental entity or are being held by the Company for such payment, and all such withholdings and collections and all other payments due in connection therewith as of the date of the 2004 Balance Sheet are duly reflected on the 2004 Balance Sheet.

The Company has previously delivered to LKQ accurate and complete copies of each of the leases covering the Leasehold Premises, and none of such leases has been amended or modified except to the extent that such amendments or modifications are disclosed in such copies or in Section 4.7 of the Disclosure Schedule. All of the leases covering the Leasehold Premises are in full force and effect, and the Company is not in default or breach under the terms of any such lease. No event has occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would cause a breach of or default under the terms of any such lease. The Company has no knowledge of any breach or anticipated breach by the other parties to any such lease.

4.7.3 The Company has a valid leasehold interest in each of the Leasehold Premises, free and clear of all liens, mortgages, pledges, charges, encumbrances, assessments, restrictions, covenants and easements or title defects of any nature whatsoever, except for liens for real estate taxes not yet due and payable, and such imperfections of title and encumbrances, if any, as are not substantial in character, amount or extent and do not materially detract from the value, or interfere with the present use, of such properties or otherwise impair business operations in any material respect and except as set forth in Section 4.7 of the Disclosure Schedule.

4.7.4 The buildings located on the Leasehold Premises (excluding the buildings located in Beaverton) are each in good operating condition, normal wear and tear excepted, and are in the aggregate sufficient to satisfy the current operating needs of the Company.

4.7.5 Each parcel of the Leasehold Premises: (i) has direct access to public roads or access to public roads by means of a perpetual access easement (except as set forth in Section 4.7 of the Disclosure Schedule), such access being sufficient to satisfy the current normal transportation requirements of the operations conducted at such parcel; (ii) is served by water, electricity and telephone utilities, in such quantity and quality as are sufficient to satisfy the current operating needs of the Company; and (iii) has the necessary and appropriate zoning (as a permitted use, conditional use or non-conforming

use) as required by law to allow the Company to carry on its business as it is now being conducted.

4.7.6 The Company has not received any notice of (i) any condemnation proceeding with respect to any portion of the Leasehold Premises, and, to the Company’s knowledge, no proceeding is contemplated by any governmental authority; or (ii) any special assessment which may affect the Leasehold Premises (except as set forth in Section 4.7 of the Disclosure Schedule), and, to the Company’s knowledge, no such special assessment is contemplated by any governmental authority.

4.8 Title to and Condition of Assets. The Company has good and marketable title to all of its assets (other than the Leasehold Premises covered by Section 4.7), free and clear of all liens, mortgages, pledges, encumbrances or charges of every kind, nature, and description whatsoever, except those set forth in Section 4.8 of the Disclosure Schedule. The fixed assets of the Company are in good operating condition, normal wear and tear excepted. Section 4.8 of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth the following information regarding the fixed assets located at each of its business locations: (i) the book value at July 31, 2004 of each of the following categories of material fixed assets at such location: equipment, tools, office machinery and other fixed assets, (ii) the acquisition date of the fixed assets in each such category at such location, and (iii) the original cost and accumulated depreciation (including the amount and date of any appraisals) of the fixed assets in each such category at such location. The inventory and supplies of the Company consist of items of a quality and quantity usable and salable in the normal course of the Company’s business at values in the aggregate at least equal to the values at which such items are carried on its books. The automotive parts listed on the Company’s ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ yard management system as inventory for sale by the Company (a) as of the Balance Sheet Date were located at one of the Companies’ facilities (except as set forth in Section 4.8 of the Disclosure Schedule) and were owned by the Company, and (b) as of the Closing Date will be located at one of the Companies’ facilities and owned by the Company (except as set forth in Section 4.8 of the Disclosure Schedule). The values on the Companies’ financial statements of obsolete or slow-moving inventory and inventory of below standard quality, if any, have been written down to the lower of cost or realizable market values or have been written off. The value at which such inventories are carried on the 2004 Balance Sheet reflects the Company’s normal inventory valuation policies, stating inventories at the lower of cost or market, all determined in accordance with past practices.

4.9 Receivables. The Company has previously delivered to LKQ a complete list of all receivables of the Company as of July 31, 2004 including due dates thereof, and including accounts receivable, factored accounts receivable, notes receivable and insurance proceeds receivable. All of the receivables listed thereon or set forth or reflected in the 2004 Balance Sheet, were, as of the dates as of which the information is given therein, and as of the Closing Date all of the receivables of the Company will be, valid accounts receivable which are or will be current and collectible and which have been or will be, within 180 days after the Closing Date, collected in full except to the extent of an allowance for uncollectible receivables of 5%. With respect to any receivables (net of a 5% allowance for uncollectible receivables) on the 2004 Balance Sheet that are not collected within 180 days after the Closing Date, the Shareholder shall

then promptly pay the Company the amount of such uncollected receivables and the Company shall assign to the Shareholder its right to collect such receivables.

4.10 Licenses and Permits. Except with respect to licenses and permits the failure to possess which would not have a Material Adverse Effect, the Company possesses all licenses and other governmental or official approvals, permits or authorizations required to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. All such licenses, approvals, permits and authorizations are in full force and effect, the Company is in material compliance with their requirements, and no proceeding is pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened to revoke or amend any of them. Section 4.10 of the Disclosure Schedule contains an accurate and complete list of all such licenses, approvals, permits and authorizations.

The Company possesses all proprietary rights, including without limitation patents, trade secrets, technology, know-how, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, assumed or “doing business as” names, and rights to any of the foregoing, necessary to carry on the Company’s business as now being conducted without, to the Company’s knowledge, conflict with valid proprietary rights of others. Section 4.11 of the Disclosure Schedule contains an accurate and complete list of all such proprietary rights (the “Proprietary Rights”). Except as set forth in Section 4.11 of the Disclosure Schedule, (i) the Company owns all right, title and interest in and to all of the Proprietary Rights, (ii) there have been no claims made against the Company for the assertion of the invalidity, abuse, misuse, or unenforceability of any of such rights, and to the Company’s knowledge there are no grounds for the same, (iii) the Company has not received any notice of conflict with the asserted rights of others within the last five years, and (iv) to the Company’s knowledge, the conduct of the business of the Company has not infringed any such rights of others.

To the Company’s knowledge, no written or oral communication, fact, event or action has occurred within 90 days prior to the date of this Agreement which would tend to indicate that: any current customer of the Company which will account for over 2% of the total consolidated net sales of the Company for the seven months ended July 31, 2004, or any current supplier to the Company of items essential to the conduct of its business, which items cannot be replaced by the Company at comparable cost to the Company and the loss of which would have a Material Adverse Effect, will terminate its business relationship with the Company. The Company has no contracts or customer accounts that have been designated by the appropriate governmental authorities as a “small business set-aside” contract. None of the Shareholder or any officer, director or employee of the Company, or any affiliate of any of them, has any direct or indirect interest in any customer, supplier or competitor of the Company or in any person from whom or to whom the Company leases real or personal property, or in any other person with whom the Company is doing business, except as set forth in Section 4.12 of the Disclosure Schedule.

All premiums and other payments which have become due under the policies of insurance listed in Section 4.14 of the Disclosure Schedule have been paid in full, all of such policies are now in full force and effect and the Company has not received notice from any insurer, agent or broker of the cancellation of, or any increase in premium with respect to, any of such policies or bonds except as listed in Section 4.14 of the Disclosure Schedule. During the last five years, the Company has not received any notification from any insurer, agent or broker denying or disputing any claim made by any of them or denying or disputing any coverage for any such claim or the amount of any claim. Except as set forth in Section 4.14 of the Disclosure Schedule, the Company does not to its knowledge have any claim against any of its insurers under any of such policies pending or anticipated, and there has been no occurrence of any kind which would give rise to any such claim. Section 4.14 of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth the claims experience (including all open and closed claims) of the Company for the period

from January 1, 2002 to the present, for workers’ compensation claims, general liability claims, auto liability claims, products liability claims and any other claims covered by any insurance policy the Company has ever possessed.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section, the Shareholder hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless LKQ and its affiliates from, against, for, and in respect of any and all expenses, losses, costs, deficiencies, liabilities and damages (including related counsel fees and expenses) (collectively, “Damages”) incurred or suffered by them by reason of, resulting from, based upon or arising out of (i) any inaccuracy, untruth, or incompleteness of any representation or warranty of the Shareholder contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or in any certificate, schedule or exhibit prepared by the Shareholder in connection herewith, (ii) any breach or partial breach of any

covenant or agreement made by the Shareholder in this Agreement, or (iii) any claim relating to any Environmental Law and based upon the actions of the Company or the Shareholder prior to the Closing Date, including matters disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule.

9.1.1 LKQ shall be entitled to recover Damages arising out of the inaccuracy or untruth of any representation or warranty of the Shareholder only if the aggregate amount of all such Damages exceeds $50,000, but shall then be entitled to recover all such Damages, including such $50,000 amount, provided that LKQ shall not be entitled to recover Damages exceeding the Purchase Price; and provided further that such maximum aggregate limitation on recoverable Damages shall not apply to any claim based upon a breach of the representations and warranties made in Article 4 resulting from fraud or actually known by the Shareholder at the Closing Date and not disclosed.

9.1.2 Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.1.3, each of the representations and warranties made by the Shareholder in this Agreement or pursuant hereto shall survive until the second anniversary of the Closing Date. No claim for the recovery of Damages based upon the inaccuracy or untruth of such representations and warranties may be asserted after such representations and warranties shall be thus extinguished pursuant to this Section 9.1.2 or Section 9.1.3; provided, however, that claims first asserted in writing within the applicable period (whether or not the amount of any such claim has become ascertainable within such period) shall not thereafter be barred.

9.1.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 9.1.2, (i) the representations and warranties in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.25, 4.27 and 4.28 shall survive forever, subject to applicable statutes of limitation, (ii) the representations and warranties made in Section 4.6 shall in each case survive until the first anniversary of the later of (A) the date on which the applicable period of limitation on assessment or refund of tax has expired, or (B) the date on which the applicable tax year (or portion thereof) has been closed, and (iii) the representations and warranties made in Sections 4.19 and 4.20 shall survive until the sixtieth day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

9.1.4 Such indemnification obligation of the Shareholder shall be secured by the right, but not the obligation, of LKQ, in accordance with the provisions set forth below, to set-off against (a) the Escrow Funds held by the Escrow Agent (provided that notice of a potential claim for Damages is delivered by LKQ to the Shareholder during the first year after the Closing), or (b) amounts payable to the Shareholder or his affiliates under the Leases (excluding the Salem Lease and provided that notice of a potential claim for Damages is delivered by LKQ to the Shareholder during the second year after the Closing). Upon notice to the Shareholder specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such set-off, LKQ and the Shareholder shall meet within twenty days thereafter (the “Meeting”) and attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith. If the dispute is unresolved at the Meeting, the dispute shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules for commercial arbitration of the American Arbitration Association (or a similar organization) in effect at the time such arbitration is initiated. A list of arbitrators shall be reviewed by the Shareholder and LKQ from which one will be chosen using the

applicable rules. The hearing shall be conducted as close as practicable to Portland, Oregon, unless both parties consent to a different location. The hearing shall occur within sixty days after the Meeting. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all parties. Except to the extent it is exercised, such right of set-off against the Escrow Funds or the amounts payable under the Leases shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Shareholder to satisfy any indemnification obligation under this Section 9.1 directly. Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of set-off will constitute an election of remedies or limit LKQ in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it. All interest earned on the Escrow Funds shall be added to and become a part of the Escrow Funds. The sole purpose of the Escrow Funds is to provide a source of funds to pay any amount that the arbitrator determines is owed to LKQ pursuant to Section 9.1 of this Agreement. Before asserting a claim against the Escrow Funds, LKQ must first assert a claim for indemnification under Section 9.1. of this Agreement. LKQ shall not present a disbursement request under the Escrow Agreement until its claim for indemnification under Section 9.1 of this Agreement is resolved and then any disbursement request shall be consistent with the arbitrator’s resolution of LKQ’s claim for indemnification. On the first anniversary of the Closing, the parties agree to deliver instructions to the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Shareholder all Escrow Funds that are not then subject to a pending claim of LKQ for indemnification under Section 9.1 of this Agreement.

9.2 Indemnification by LKQ. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section, LKQ does hereby agree, from and after the Closing Date, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Shareholder from, against, for, and in respect of any and all Damages incurred by the Shareholder by reason of, resulting from, based upon, or arising out of: (i) any inaccuracy, untruth, or incompleteness of any representation or warranty of LKQ contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or in any certificate, schedule or exhibit furnished by LKQ in connection herewith; (ii) any breach or partial breach of any covenant or agreement of LKQ made in this Agreement, or (iii) any claim relating to any Environmental Law and based upon the actions of LKQ or the Company after the Closing Date. The right of the Shareholder to be indemnified from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to each of the following principles or qualifications:

9.2.1 The Shareholder shall be entitled to recover Damages arising out of the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of LKQ only if the aggregate amount of all such Damages exceeds $50,000, but shall then be entitled to recover all such Damages, including such $50,000 amount, provided that the Shareholder shall not be entitled to recover Damages exceeding, in the aggregate, the Purchase Price.

9.2.2 Each of the representations and warranties made by LKQ in this Agreement or pursuant hereto shall survive until the second anniversary of the Closing Date except that the representations and warranties made in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 shall survive forever, subject to applicable statutes of limitation. No claim for the recovery of Damages based upon the inaccuracy of such representations and warranties may be asserted after such representations and warranties shall be thus extinguished pursuant to this Section 9.2.2; provided, however, that claims first asserted in writing within the

applicable period (whether or not the amount of any such claim has become ascertainable within such period) shall not thereafter be barred.

9.2.3 Upon notice to LKQ specifying in reasonable detail the basis for Damages, LKQ and the Shareholder shall meet within twenty days thereafter (the “Meeting”) and attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith. If the dispute is unresolved at the Meeting, the dispute shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules for commercial arbitration of the American Arbitration Association (or a similar organization) in effect at the time such arbitration is initiated. A list of arbitrators shall be presented to the Shareholder and LKQ from which one will be chosen using the applicable rules. The hearing shall be conducted as close as practicable to Chicago, Illinois, unless both parties consent to a different location. The hearing shall occur within sixty days after the Meeting. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all parties.

10. Certain Additional Agreements

10.1 Restrictive Covenants.

10.1.1 In order to assure that LKQ will realize the value and goodwill inherent in the Company, the Shareholder agrees with LKQ that he shall not, and none of his affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, either for himself or for any other person for a period of five years following the Closing Date: (i) engage in, represent, furnish consulting services to, be employed by or have any interest in (whether as owner, principal, director, officer, partner, agent, consultant, shareholder, member or otherwise) any business which would be competitive with any business conducted by LKQ anywhere within a one hundred (100) mile radius of the principal business location of any Company on the date hereof; provided, however, that the Shareholder may acquire and hold an aggregate of up to two percent of the outstanding shares of any corporation engaged in any such business if such shares are publicly traded in an established securities market; (ii) induce any customer of LKQ or its subsidiaries to patronize any such competitive business or otherwise request or advise any such customer to withdraw, curtail or cancel any of its business with LKQ or its subsidiaries; or (iii) solicit for employment, or assist any other person in soliciting for employment, any person employed by any of LKQ or its subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, PBE Leasing, Inc. (“PBE”) may sell automobile body shop equipment that it repossesses from a customer in the event PBE (a) first offers the Company the opportunity to purchase such equipment from PBE for the same amount that PBE will offer such equipment for sale to a third party, and (b) the Company declines to purchase such equipment.

10.1.2 If any provision of this Section 10.1, as applied to any party or to any circumstance is adjudged by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall in no way affect any other provision or any other part of this Agreement, the application of such provision in any other circumstances or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement. If any such provision, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form such provision shall then be enforceable.

Upon breach of any provision of this Section 10.1, LKQ shall be entitled to injunctive relief, since the remedy at law would be inadequate and insufficient. In addition, LKQ shall be entitled to such Damages as it can show it has sustained by reason of such breach.

10.2 Tax Matters

10.2.1 LKQ and the Shareholder shall cooperate to prepare and file the final federal and state subchapter S corporation (or similar return for Beaverton, which is not a subchapter S corporation) tax returns for each of the Companies for the period ending on the Closing Date (the “Final Tax Returns” or “FTRs”). All FTRs shall be prepared consistently with the allocation of the purchase price set forth in Exhibit D to this Agreement. The Shareholder shall cause the drafts of each FTR to be prepared and delivered to LKQ not less than 30 days prior to the earlier of its due date (including any extensions approved by LKQ and the Internal Revenue Service) or the date it is filed and to consult with LKQ about the items shown on FTRs. Each of LKQ and the Shareholder agree to provide access to any books and records of the Company in its or his respective possession to the extent necessary for the preparation of FTRs. The Shareholder shall be responsible for the payment of any and all taxes shown on FTRs, including the tax imposed by Section 1374 of the Code, if any.

10.2.2 The Shareholder shall have the right to defend on behalf of the Company, and shall pay all professional fees and expenses incurred in connection with, any audit, administrative appeal, dispute or other claim (collectively, an “Audit”) by federal or state tax authorities with respect to FTRs and tax returns filed by the Company for any period ending prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Shareholder shall not file on behalf of the Company any amended tax return or claim for refund for any period without the prior written consent of LKQ, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If any such Audit results in an additional tax liability to the Company, the Shareholder shall be responsible for the payment of the liability, together with any associated interest or penalties. LKQ shall provide the Shareholder access to any books and records of the Company relating to periods prior to the Closing to the extent necessary to defend an Audit. The Shareholder shall provide LKQ, promptly upon receipt thereof, copies of any information, correspondence, protests, notices, decisions or any related information provided to or received from any taxing authority with respect to such Audit and shall afford to LKQ the opportunity from time to time to discuss the progress of the Audit with the tax professionals retained by the Shareholder in connection with the Audit.

10.2.3 With respect to the acquisition of the shares of the Company by LKQ, the Shareholder and LKQ shall jointly make a timely election provided for by Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and the applicable regulations of the United States Treasury (and any comparable election under state or local laws). The Shareholder and LKQ agree to execute at Closing (or, if requested by LKQ, as soon as reasonably possible thereafter) any and all forms necessary to effectuate the Section 338(h)(10) election (including, but not limited to, IRS Forms 8023 and 8883 and any similar forms under applicable state or local law). The Shareholder and LKQ shall report and cause the Company to report the acquisition by LKQ of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement consistent with the Section 338(h)(10) election and shall take no position contrary thereto or inconsistent therewith on any income, transfer or gains tax return before any governmental body charged with the collection of any such Tax or in any judicial proceeding that

is in any manner inconsistent with the terms of any such allocation without the written consent of the other in each instance. The purchase price allocation for the purchase of the Shares as shown on Exhibit D shall be reported on the Forms 8023 and 8883 that will be included in the Section 338(h)(10) Forms, and neither LKQ nor the Shareholder shall take a position on any income, transfer or gains tax return, before any governmental agency charged with the collection of any such Tax or in any judicial proceedings that is in any manner inconsistent with any such allocation without the written consent of the other in each instance.

LKQ shall bear the costs arising out of any challenge of the purchase price allocation by a taxing authority. LKQ shall prepare and deliver to the Shareholder the Forms 8023 and 8883 to be executed by the Shareholder at the Closing or thereafter. LKQ shall execute such Forms and they shall be filed with the FTRs no later than their due date.
