                                  WITNESSETH:
                                  -----------

         WHEREAS, the Parent, Speedy U.S.A, the Sellers, the Purchaser and

         2.   Paragraph (d) of Section 8.1 of Article 8 of the Agreement is
hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

         Section 8.1.   TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated at any
time at or prior to the Closing (the "Termination Date"):

                  "(d) by notice from either Monro or Parent to the other if
         the Acquisition shall not have been consummated on or before (i) July
         13, 1998, if the Sellers have caused the condition set forth in
         Section 6.1(c) to be satisfied on or before June 22, 1998, and
         otherwise (ii) 20 days after the Sellers have caused the condition

         than August 31, 1998 (unless in any case the failure to consummate
         the Acquisition by such date shall be due to the action or failure to
         act of the party or its Affiliate seeking to terminate this
         Agreement, including, without limitation, any breach of its
         obligations under Section 5.4)."
