The Company and AlixPartners are each a “Party,” as the context requires, and together the “Parties.”

Background

Based on our discussions to date, AlixPartners understands, Monro’s recent performance has declined due to declining customer traffic, product mix and competition trends. The Company seeks an operating income improvement program to address and turnaround these downturns and to improve Total Shareholder Return (TSR).

AlixPartners has been requested to perform a QuickStrike® diagnostic to evaulate the business challenges and provide path back to improving operating income and TSR.

Services

AlixPartners will perform a five-week QuickStrike® diagnostic that will focus on analyzing the commercial and cost challenges, identifying and sizing the improvement levers and initiatives necessary, and developing a roadmap in conjunction with a business plan of how to help improve operating income and TSR objectives.

Phase I: QuickStrike®

AlixPartners will perform a QuickStrike® assessment of the Company’s current business situation. We anticipate the QuickStrike® to involve assessing the Company through meetings with key employees, analyzing financials and operations, visiting stores and distribution centers, and other information with a view to identifying opportunities for improvement.

The QuickStrike® scope will include:

Evaluation of supply chain with review of org and distribution network with focus on efficiency and ability to better serve store network needs

Review of current indirect/GNFR spend to identify opportunities to eliminate, reduce, re-source, or consolidate spend to drive cost efficiencies

Financial situation and business plan

Assess the Company's financial situation and business plan

Build a business plan that considers the Company's current forecasts and projections

Build a business plan that incorporates the value and timing of the initiatives and levers identified by the QuickStrike®

Advise the CEO, CFO, and other Executive leaders (as required) on meaning and impact of the business plan

Our process is geared toward action and implementation. We expect the result of Phase I to be a list of potential opportunities, an estimate of the corresponding costs and benefits, and an implementation plan with a view to help achieve these benefits.

We recognize that the company likely has improvement initiatives in progress, therefore during Phase I, the Quickstrike® process will assess those initiatives and where accretive will continue those or modify them for added speed and scale. Furthermore, if there are initiatives that can be commenced even during Phase 1, those will be put forth to the Steering Committee for approval and commencement.

Future potential Phase II: Implementation (will be documented and agreed to under a separate agreement)

Following Phase I, it is the intent of the Parties to immediately begin implementation work, which will be shaped and scoped by Phase 1 QuickStrike® sizing and prioritization. While the exact scope is subject to revision, these services will likely include:

Identifying the resources required by the Company to execute its implementation plan and assist the Company in organizing the effort as appropriate. Expected areas of scope will include the areas covered in the QuickStrike Phase I of:

Store Selling improvement & Cost of Sales efficiencies

Underperforming stores remediation

Customer increase and marketing effectiveness

Overhead cost reduction

Assisting the Company in developing a communications program, including key messages and communications vehicles targeted at employees, customers, vendors and others.

Providing oversight assistance, overall project management, expertise, and additional resources to deliver critical priorities during implementation.

Assist in measuring financial and other benefits derived from the implementation process.

Assist with such other matters as may be requested that fall within AlixPartners’ expertise and are mutually agreeable.

The exact scope, AlixPartners team composition and duration, Monro team roles and corresponding AlixPartners fee estimate for Phase II implementation will be outlined at the end of the Phase I QuickStrike® and will be agreed to and documented under a separate agreement. It is the intent of both parties to engage in an implementation that is expected to last 4-6 months with meaningful AlixPartners support in terms of team members, playbooks, tools and intellectual capital. Whereas the fee estimate for Phase II will be known at the end of Phase I, both parties expect that the team sizes and fee estimate will be commensurate to the work effort and the operating income (OI) value that Phase II will target securing for Monro via actions taken during Phase II the realization of which will take place over time after the completion of Phase II. As such the AlixPartners team size and fee estimate will be sized to target an approximately five times return on fees as measured by future OI improvement.

Oversight

AlixPartners recommends a Steering Committee composed of members of the board, management, and AlixPartners leadership to oversee the work. The Steering Committee should be kept small to aid in scheduling and to drive efficient decision making.

Staffing

Arun Kumar and Gaurav Chhabra will be responsible for the engagement, supported by AlixPartners personnel necessary to complete the services provided under the Agreement. In addition, AlixPartners and its Affiliates have relationships with, and may periodically use, independent contractors with specialized skills and abilities to assist in this engagement.

We will periodically review the staffing levels to determine the proper mix for this assignment. we will only use the necessary staff required to complete the required or planned tasks.
