MONRO MUFFLER BRAKE, INC.

RETIREMENT PLAN

Amendment No. 3 to GUST Restatement

     Pursuant to Section 11.1, the Plan is amended, effective March 28, 2005, by deleting current
Section 5.2(b) and substituting in its place the following:

     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if a Participant has
terminated employment and the present value of his Accrued Benefit under this Plan
is $5,000 or less, this present value shall be distributed under the terms of this
Section 5.2(b) in lieu of all benefits to which the Participant is otherwise
entitled under this Plan. Effective March 28, 2005, cashouts of benefits having a
present value of more than $1,000 but $5,000 or less shall be permitted only after
such time (but no later than December 31, 2005) as the Company has established
rollover IRAs for mandatory cashouts. At such time as the rollover IRAs are
available, if the present value of a Participant’s nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit
is more than $1,000 but $5,000 or less, and he fails to elect to have his benefit
paid in cash or transferred to an IRA of his own designation, his entire
nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit shall be paid automatically to a rollover IRA of
the Company’s designation. If a Participant terminates participation in the Plan
at a time when the present value of his nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit
attributable to Company contributions is $1,000 or less, the present value of his
entire nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit shall be paid to him automatically in cash.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused its duly authorized officer to execute this
amendment on its behalf this 29th day of March, 2005.

RETIREMENT PLAN

Amendment No. 4 to GUST Restatement

     Pursuant to Section 11.1, the Plan is amended, effective January 1, 2004, by adding the
following new provision to the end of Section 1.2:

     Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, with respect to the Code section
415 limit, for purposes of adjusting the annual benefit to a straight life annuity, the
equivalent annual benefit shall be the greater of the equivalent annual benefit computed
using the Plan’s interest rate and Plan mortality table (or other tabular factor) and the
equivalent annual benefit computed using five percent (5%) interest rate assumption and the
“applicable mortality table.” However, for purposes of adjusting the annual benefit to a
straight life annuity, if the annual benefit is paid in any form other than a
non-decreasing life annuity payable for a period not less than the life of a Participant
or, in the case of a Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity, the life of the surviving spouse,
then the equivalent annual benefit shall be the greater of the equivalent annual benefit
computed using the Plan interest rate and Plan mortality table (or other tabular factor)
and the equivalent annual benefit computed using the “applicable interest rate” and the
“applicable mortality table.” With respect to Plan Years beginning in 2004 and 2005 and
any subsequent Plan Year as provided by law, for purposes of adjusting the annual benefit
to a straight life annuity, if the annual benefit is paid in any form other than a
non-decreasing life annuity payable for a period not less than the life of a Participant
or, in the case of a Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity, the life of the surviving spouse,
then the equivalent annual benefit shall be the greater of the equivalent annual benefit
computed using the Plan interest rate and Plan mortality table (or other tabular factor)
and the equivalent annual benefit computed using five and one-half percent (5.5%) and the
“applicable mortality table.”

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused its duly authorized officer to execute this
amendment on its behalf this 21st day of December, 2006.
