     AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”), dated June 6, 2008, by and among MONRO MUFFLER BRAKE, INC. (“Borrower”), the several financial institutions party hereto (“Lenders”), RBS CITIZENS, N.A. (successor by merger to Charter One Bank, N.A.), as Administrative Agent for Lenders (“Administrative Agent”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as Documentation Agent.
RECITALS
     A. Borrower, Lenders, Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent are parties to the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 13, 2005 (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein or in the Acknowledgement and Consent annexed hereto shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.
     B. Borrower has requested that the Credit Agreement be amended in certain respects.
     C. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Amendment, KeyBank National Association (the “New Lender”) has agreed to make loans to the Borrower and the Borrower desires to accept the commitment of the New Lender and to cause the New Lender to be added as a “Lender” to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, and the Administrative Agent is agreeable to the addition of the New Lender.
     D. Administrative Agent has advised Borrower that Lenders are willing to agree to its requests on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Amendment.
     Accordingly, in consideration of the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
     1. Change in Facility Committed Sum.
          (a) Committed Sums. From and after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, the Committed Sum of each Lender shall be the amount stated beside such Lender’s name for the Facility on Schedule 1 to the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby and attached hereto as Exhibit A) (which amount is subject to increase as provided in Section 2.6 to the Credit Agreement and to reduction and cancellation as provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 2.5), and such amount (if changed) shall supersede and be deemed to amend the amount of such Lender’s Committed Sum as set forth on Schedule 1 to the Credit Agreement as in effect on the Effective Date.

 


 

          (b) New Lender. The New Lender agrees with Borrower, the other Lenders and Administrative Agent that (i) it will abide by the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, as a “Lender” thereunder, and (ii) the Credit Agreement as amended hereby shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by and against it. Borrower hereby consents to the New Lender being added as a “Lender” under the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, effective as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date.
          (c) Adjustment of Outstanding Borrowings. If any Borrowings are outstanding under the Credit Agreement on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, Lenders shall on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, at the direction of Administrative Agent, make appropriate adjustments among themselves in order to ensure that the amount (and Type) of the Borrowings outstanding to Borrower from each Lender under the Credit Agreement (as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date) are proportionate to Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Part, after giving effect to the increase in the Facility Committed Sum and the Committed Sum of the New Lender. The Borrower agrees and consents to the terms of this Section 1(c).
     2. Amendments to Credit Agreement.
          (a) Additional Definitions. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new definitions in the appropriate alphabetical order:
     Amendment No. 2 means Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement dated as of June 6, 2008 by and among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent and the Administrative Agent.
     Amendment No. 2 Effective Date means the date that the conditions to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 2 have been satisfied.
          (b) CAPEX. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “CAPEX” in its entirety and substituting the following therefor:
     CAPEX means, for any Four Quarter Period, capital expenditures for fixed or capital assets that are required to be capitalized on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP minus the sum of (a) any net proceeds of sale/leasebacks permitted by Sections 9.10 or 9.16, (b) (without duplication) any capital expenditures incurred for equipment purchased and then sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of pursuant to sale/leaseback facilities permitted pursuant to Section 9.10 and (c) any net proceeds from any sales, transfers or other dispositions of any fixed assets permitted by Section 9.10; provided that capital expenditures not to exceed $20,000,000 incurred in connection with the acquisition by the Borrower of up to 30 store locations from the August family shall not be included in the determination of CAPEX in any Four Quarter Period in which such acquisition shall have occurred.
