                            MONRO MUFFLER BRAKE, INC.

                    NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN

         1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option
Plan (the "Plan") is to secure for Monro Muffler Brake, Inc., a New York
corporation (the "Company"), and its shareholders the benefits of the incentive
inherent in increased common stock ownership by members of the Company's Board
of Directors (the "Board") who are not also employees of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries (a "Non-Employee Director"). Options to purchase shares of the
Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value, or such other shares as are substituted
pursuant to paragraph 5(e) or (f) below (the "Common Stock"), shall be granted
to Non-Employee Directors of the Company pursuant to the terms of this Plan.

         2. ELIGIBILITY. Each Non-Employee Director shall be eligible to receive
awards of non-qualified stock options in accordance with the specific provisions
of paragraph 4 below ("Options"). The adoption of this Plan shall not be deemed
to give any director any right to be granted an Option to purchase Common Stock
except to the extent and upon such terms and conditions consistent with the Plan
as may be determined by the Stock Option Committee of the Board (the
"Committee").

         3. LIMITATION ON AGGREGATE SHARES. The maximum number of shares of
Common Stock with respect to which Options may be granted under this Plan and
which may be issued upon the exercise thereof shall not exceed, in the
aggregate, 55,000 shares, subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph 5(e)
below; provided, however, that if any Options granted under this Plan expire
unexercised or are cancelled, terminated or forfeited in any manner without the
issuance of Common Stock thereunder, the shares with respect to which such
Options were granted shall be available under this Plan. Such shares of Common
Stock may be either authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or a
combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine.

         4. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. Options granted under this Plan
shall be subject to such terms and conditions and evidenced by written
agreements in such form as shall be determined from time to time by the
Committee and shall in any event be subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Plan. In the event of any conflict between a written agreement and
the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

                  (a) OPTIONS TO CURRENT DIRECTORS. Each Non-Employee Director
as of August 1, 1994 shall receive, as of such date, an Option (an "August
Option") to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock.

                  (b) ANNUAL OPTIONS. Each year on the date of the Annual
Meeting of the Company's Shareholders (the "Annual Shareholders Meeting"),
commencing with the 1995 Annual Shareholders Meeting, each Non-Employee Director
shall automatically receive an Option to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock.

                  (c) OPTION PRICE. The Option price per share of Common Stock
shall be 100% of the "Fair Market Value" of a share of Common Stock on the date
of grant (the

<PAGE>   2

"Option Price"). The Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on any given date
means (i) the mean between the highest and lowest reported sale prices on the
New York Stock Exchange--Composite Transactions Table (or, if not so reported,
on any domestic stock exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed); (ii)
if the Common Stock is not listed on any domestic stock exchange, the closing
sale price or mean between the closing high bid and low asked prices as reported
by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System
(or, if not so reported, by the system then regarded as the most reliable source
of such quotations); (iii) if the Common Stock is listed on a domestic exchange
or quoted in the domestic over-the-counter market, but there are no reported
sales or quotations, as the case may be, on the given date, the value determined
pursuant to (i) or (ii) using the reported sale prices or quotations on the last
previous date on which so reported; or (iv) if none of the foregoing clauses
apply, the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Committee.

                  (d) TERM OF OPTIONS. Each Option shall be exercisable for ten
years after the date of grant.

                  (e) EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. Options shall be exercised by written
notice to the Company (to the attention of the Secretary of the Company)
accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price. Payment of the Option Price
may be made, at the discretion of the Non-Employee Director, (i) in cash
(including check, bank draft or money order), (ii) by delivery of Common Stock
(valued at the Fair Market Value thereof on the date of exercise) or (iii) by
delivery of a combination of cash and Common Stock; provided, however, that the
Committee may, in any instance, in order to prevent any possible violation of
law, require the Option Price to be paid in cash; and provided, further, that
the right to deliver Common Stock in payment of the Option Price may be limited
or denied in any Option agreement.

                  (f) RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. No Non-Employee Director shall
have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by an Option
until the date a stock certificate for such shares is issued to him or her.
Except as otherwise provided herein, no adjustments shall be made for dividends
or distributions of other rights for which the record date is prior to the date
such stock certificate is issued.

         5. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS.

                  (a) CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE. Any Option shall
be exercisable immediately upon the date of grant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) no Option shall be exercisable prior to the adoption of the Plan
by the Company's shareholders at the Company's 1995 Annual Shareholders Meeting,
as provided in paragraph 9 below, and (ii) no shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of an Option may be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise
transferred for a period of six months after the later to occur of (x) the
adoption of the Plan by the Company's shareholders and (y) the grant of the
Option, as is specified in Rule 16b-3 (or other period of time specified in such
rule as such rule may be amended from time to time) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

                  (b) TERMINATION OF TERM OF DIRECTORSHIP. Any Option shall be
exercisable only during the holder's term as a director of the Company, except
that an Option may be exercisable after the death, disability, as defined in
Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal

                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") ("Disability"), or retirement from
the Board at the age of 65 or thereafter ("Retirement"), of a holder while a
director of the Company at any time until the earlier to occur of (i) the one
year anniversary of the date of death, Disability, or Retirement and (ii) the
termination of such Option pursuant to paragraph 4(d) above.

                  (c) LISTING, REGISTRATION AND COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND
REGULATIONS. Each Option shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time
the Committee shall determine in its discretion, that the listing, registration
or qualification of the shares subject to the Option upon any securities
exchange or automated quotation system or under any state or federal securities
or other law or regulation, or the consent or approval of any governmental
regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition to or in connection
with the granting of such Option or the issuance or purchase of shares
thereunder, no such Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, unless such
listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been
effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. The
holder of such Option will supply the Company with such certificates,
representations and information as the Company shall request and shall otherwise
cooperate with the Company in obtaining such listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval. The Committee may at any time impose any
limitations upon the exercise of an Option or the sale of the Common Stock
issued upon exercise of an Option that, in the Committee's discretion, are
necessary or desirable in order to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations thereunder.

                  (d) NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. Options may not be
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated (whether by operation of law or
otherwise) other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, as defined by Section 4.l4(p)
of the Code, Section 206(d)(3)(B) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or the rules thereunder, and, during the lifetime
of the person to whom they are granted, may be exercised only by such person (or
his or her guardian or legal representative).

                  (e) ADJUSTMENT FOR CHANGE IN COMMON STOCK. If the outstanding
Common Stock is hereafter changed by reason of reorganization, merger,
consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination,
exchange of shares, or the like, or dividends payable in shares of the Common
Stock or other securities or assets, an appropriate adjustment shall be made by
the Committee in the aggregate number of shares available under the Plan, in the
number of shares subject to Options to be granted thereafter pursuant to
paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b), and in the number of shares and price per share
subject to outstanding Options. Any adjustment in the number of shares shall
apply appropriately to only the unexercised portion of any Option granted
hereunder. If fractions of a share would result from any such adjustment, the
adjustment shall be revised to the next higher whole number of shares.

                  (f) SALE OF THE COMPANY. In the event of a merger of the
Company with or into another corporation constituting a change of control, a
sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or a sale of a majority
of the Company's outstanding voting securities (a "Sale of the Company"), the
Options may be assumed by the successor corporation or a parent of such
successor corporation or substantially equivalent options may be substituted by
the successor corporation or a parent of such successor corporation, and if the
successor corporation

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

does not assume the Options or substitute options, then the Options shall
terminate if not exercised as of the date of the Sale of the Company or other
prescribed period of time.

                  (g) LIQUIDATION OR DISSOLUTION. In the event of the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company, Options shall terminate immediately
prior to the liquidation or dissolution.

                  (h) TAXES. The Company shall be entitled, if necessary or
desirable, to withhold (or secure payment from the Non-Employee Director in lieu
of withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax due from the Company
with respect to any shares issuable under this Plan, and the Company may defer
such issuance unless indemnified to its satisfaction. The Committee may, in its
sole discretion and subject to such rules as it may adopt, permit a Non-Employee
Director to elect to satisfy any such withholding obligation, in whole or in
part, by having the Company withhold shares of Common Stock that are otherwise
issuable upon the exercise of such Option and have a Fair Market Value (as of
the date of exercise) equal to the amount required to be withheld, or by
surrendering to the Company previously-acquired shares of Common Stock that have
such a Fair Market Value.

         6. ADMINISTRATION. This Plan shall be administered by the Committee.
The Committee shall consist of two or more directors designated by the Board. It
is intended that the Plan will constitute a "formula plan" within the meaning of
Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The provisions of the Plan and of any Option
agreement made pursuant to the Plan will be interpreted and applied accordingly.

                  The Committee shall have full power to construe and interpret
this Plan and Options granted hereunder, to establish and amend rules for its
administration and to correct any defect or omission and to reconcile any
inconsistency in this Plan or in any Option granted hereunder to the extent the
Committee deems desirable to carry this Plan or any Option granted hereunder
into effect. All actions taken and interpretations and determinations made by
the Committee in good faith shall be final and binding upon the Company, all
Non-Employee Directors who have received awards under the Plan and all other
interested parties.

                  The Committee may act a meeting or by an instrument executed
by all of its members. All actions taken and decisions made by the Committee
pursuant to this Plan shall be binding and conclusive on all persons interested
in this Plan.

         7. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT. At any time the Committee may suspend or
terminate this Plan and make such additions or amendments as it deems advisable;
provided, that such additions or amendments are made in compliance with Rule
16b-3 of the Exchange Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time); and
provided, further, that paragraphs 4 and 5(a) and (b) shall not be amended more
than once every six months (other than to comply with the federal securities
laws, the Code, or ERISA). No Options shall be granted hereunder after August 1,
2004. Notwithstanding any termination (other than pursuant to paragraph 5(a)
above), the terms of the Plan shall continue to apply to Options granted prior
to any such termination.

         8. LIABILITY. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for
any action, interpretation or determination made with respect to the Plan or
awards made thereunder,

                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5

and each member of the Committee shall be fully indemnified and protected by the
Company with respect to any liability he or she may incur with respect to any
such action, interpretation or determination, to the extent permitted by
applicable law and to the extent provided by the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation and By-laws, as amended from time to time.

         9. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN. The Plan shall be effective as of August 1,
1994 or such later date as the Board may determine, provided that the adoption
of the Plan shall have been approved by the Company's shareholders at the
Company's 1995 Annual Shareholders Meeting. If the Plan is not so approved by
the Company's shareholders, the Plan and all Options granted hereunder shall
terminate.

         10. NOTICES. Notices required or permitted to be made under the Plan
shall be sufficiently made if personally delivered to the Non-Employee Director
or sent by regular mail addressed (a) to the Non-Employee Director's address as
set forth in the books and records of the Company, or (b) to the Company or the
Committee at the principal office of the Company clearly marked "Attention:
Stock Option Committee".

         11. GOVERNING LAW. The Plan and each agreement hereunder shall be
governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York.
