SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
1.1. BACKGROUND
ADESA Canada Inc. (the "Company") has established a group registered
retirement savings plan and a deferred profit sharing plan for employees of
the Company (the "Base Plan"), effective February 1, 2001. The Base Plan is
registered under the provisions of the Income Tax Act. The Income Tax Act
restricts the benefits that may be provided by these plans.
1.2. PURPOSE
The Company has established this Supplementary Retirement Plan for
Designated Employees of the Company and its Subsidiary and Associated
Companies (the "Plan") with the object of retaining participating employees
at the Company's Canadian Central Office and providing participating
employees with enhanced benefits that, when added to benefits payable from
the Base Plan, will enable participating employees to enhance income upon
retirement.
1.3. EFFECTIVE DATE
The Plan is effective January 1, 2002.
1.4. UNFUNDED PLAN
The Company shall not be obliged to fund the Plan but may do so in its
absolute and uncontrolled discretion.
1.5. INTERPRETATION

MEMBERSHIP & ELIGIBILITY
2.1. ELIGIBILITY
An Employee may become a Member on or after the completion of 12 months as
an Employee on the date determined by the Company provided that the
Employee has been designated by the Company as being eligible to join the
Plan. The names of eligible Employees and the Employees' eligibility dates
shall be set out in Section A.1 of Appendix A.
2.2. MEMBERSHIP DATE
An Employee who, in accordance with Subsection 2.1, is eligible to join the
Plan may elect to become a Member of the Plan by filing the designated form
with the Company.
If the Employee files the designated form within 60 days of the Employee's
eligibility date as set out in Section A.1 of Appendix A, the Employee
shall become a Member effective as of that eligibility date. However, if
the Employee files the designated form with the Company more than 60 days
from the Employee's eligibility date, the Employee shall become a Member on
the first day of the month following the month in which the Employee filed
the form.
2.3. CESSATION OF MEMBERSHIP
An individual shall cease to be a Member on the earliest of the following
dates:
(a) the date of the individual's Termination or Retirement;
(b) December 31 of the calendar year in which the Member attains 69 years
of age; and
(c) unless the individual immediately commences Designated Service, the
date that the individual ceases to be employed with the Company at the
Canadian Central Office location. Where an individual's membership
ceases in accordance with this Paragraph 2.3(c) the individual shall
be deemed to have Retired for the purpose of determining the
individual's rights and options under this Plan. The Company reserves
the right to use its sole discretion to decide whether an Employee
ceases to be employed with the Company at the Canadian Central Office
location.
No Member may withdraw from the Plan while a Member except as provided in
this Subsection. Any individual who ceases to be a Member under this
Subsection shall continue to be a Member for the sole purpose of making any
necessary elections under the Plan.

The Company may, at its sole discretion, waive the requirements for

have no precedential value with respect to any waiver in respect of any
other Employee.
