Pep Boys-Manny, Moe & Jack (PBY)

RABBI TRUST

        The Company has accounted for the non-qualified deferred compensation plan and the SERP in accordance with EITF 97-14, "Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where Amounts Earned are Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested." The Company establishes and maintains a deferred liability for these plans. The Company plans to fund this liability by remitting the officers' deferrals to a Rabbi Trust where these deferrals are invested in various securities, including life insurance policies. These assets are included in non-current other assets. Accordingly, all gains and losses on these underlying investments, which are held in the Rabbi Trust to fund the deferred liability, are recognized in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. Under these plans, there were liabilities of $2,699 at January 31, 2009 and $20,558 at February 2, 2008, respectively. The decrease in the liability was due to the payout of the defined benefit portion of the SERP.
