Until the Termination Date, Mr. Naylor will work to professionally transition his duties and assignments to others at Monro, as directed by the CEO.

2. Transition Payment. In consideration of Mr. Naylor’s execution of this Agreement, Monro will to pay Mr. Naylor an amount equal to his regular wages, in accordance with Monro’s regular pay practices, until the Termination Date. Further, in consideration of Mr. Naylor’s execution of the Release Agreement attached as Schedule A to this Agreement (the “Release”), Monro agrees to pay to Mr. Naylor Thirty-Nine Thousand Hundred Dollars ($39,000), grossed-up for purposes of Mr. Naylor’s tax obligations.

The Transition Payment shall be payable to Mr. Naylor within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the Release.

3. Release of Claims Required to Receive Transition Payment. Mr. Naylor understands and agrees that in order to be eligible to receive the Transition Payment under this Agreement, and before any such payment is paid to Mr. Naylor, he must execute and not revoke the Release, which contains a general release of claims and covenant not to sue, following the Termination Date. Mr. Naylor agrees that signing and not revoking the Release is a condition precedent to receiving the Transition Payment pursuant to this Agreement, and no Transition Payment shall be earned or payable to Mr. Naylor unless and until, following the Termination Date, he has signed and not revoked the Release and has satisfied all conditions to make the Release effective in a timely manner.

4. No Further Benefits Except As Provided Herein. Except as set forth in this Agreement, Mr. Naylor expressly acknowledges that he is not entitled to any other or further compensation, remuneration, benefits, reimbursement, payments, options, stock, or other equity issue of or from Monro.

Specifically, on the Termination Date: (A) the option to purchase 14,666 shares of Monro’s Common Stock at a strike price of $53.80 (the “Option”)(issued pursuant to Monro’s Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)); and (B) 2,912 shares of Monro’s Common Stock (pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit grant, dated March 26, 2018), shall vest to Mr. Naylor. Under the Plan, Mr. Naylor is permitted up to thirty (30) days following his Termination Date to exercise all or any portion of the Option. Monro’s earnings release date is scheduled for May 21, 2019. Any remaining continuation and/or conversion rights to health or other insurance benefits, if any, will be as provided by the terms and conditions of those plans and applicable law and will follow under separate letter. For purposes of any 401(k) plan or other retirement plans, the payments under this Agreement do not constitute salary and wages to which employee contribution elections and/or employer match, if any, apply. Mr. Naylor expressly authorizes Monro to make any authorized or legally mandated deductions or withholdings from any payment described in this Agreement. All such payments may be mailed directly to Mr. Naylor or deposited via direct deposit, at the discretion of Monro.

5. Confidential Information. Mr. Naylor agrees that all information and know-how, regardless of whether in writing, of a private, secret or confidential nature concerning Monro’s business or financial affairs (collectively, “Confidential Information”) is and shall be the exclusive property of Monro and will not use or disclose to any person or entity or aid others in obtaining or using any such information. By way of illustration, but not limitation, Confidential Information may include inventions, products, processes, methods, techniques, formulas, compositions, compounds, projects, developments, plans, research data, financial data, personnel data, computer programs, computer software or code, information about actual or prospective customers, supplier lists and any other confidential business information. Mr. Naylor will not disclose, at any time, any Confidential Information to others outside Monro or use the same for any unauthorized purposes without prior written approval by an officer of Monro unless and until such Confidential Information has become public knowledge without fault by Mr. Naylor. Accordingly, Mr. Naylor agrees to keep confidential any trade secret, business or Confidential Information which Mr. Naylor acquired during his employment with Monro, including, but not limited to, any Monro marketing, technology, customer, or sales information, plans, or strategies. This is intended to cover any information of a nature not normally disclosed by Monro to the general public. If required by a valid court-issued subpoena, Mr. Naylor may disclose Confidential Information provided that he gives written notice of such subpoena to Monro within 48 hours of receipt of such subpoena.

6. Duty to Cooperate. Mr. Naylor agrees that, in the event Monro is or becomes a party or witness to any actual or threatened legal proceeding regarding any matter that arose, concerns or occurred during the term of his employment with Monro, he shall make himself reasonably available to and cooperate with Monro and its counsel in such proceedings. Mr. Naylor further agrees to answer any practical administration questions which may arise and to make himself reasonably available to assist Monro in its transition following his employment and to

cooperate with any other reasonable request by Monro which may require his services after the ending of his employment. The Parties agree that, for purposes of this paragraph only, the transition period shall be six (6) months following the last day of employment. Mr. Naylor will not seek or be entitled to any additional compensation for such assistance or cooperation.

7. Governing Law and Interpretation. This Agreement shall be governed and conformed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws provision. In the event of a breach of any provision of this Agreement, either party may institute an action specifically to enforce any term or terms of this Agreement and/or to seek any damages for breach. Should any provision of this Agreement be declared illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction and cannot be modified to be enforceable, excluding the general release language, such provision shall immediately become null and void, leaving the remainder of this Agreement in full force and effect.

8. Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified, altered or changed except in writing and signed by both Parties wherein specific reference is made to this Agreement.

9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the Parties hereto, and fully supersedes any prior agreements or understandings between the Parties.
