On August 8, 2011, The Pantry, Inc.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Amendment:

·  
Increases the letter of credit limit under our $225 million six-year revolving credit facility from $120 million to $160 million;

Modifies the existing restricted junior payment basket so that the basket grows on a cumulative basis with full carryover of unused amounts beginning in fiscal 2011; and

·  
Increases the limit on assets sales in any four fiscal quarter period from $20 to $40 million, with 50% of the proceeds in excess of $20 million to be used for debt repayment and the balance of the proceeds being subject to the existing repayment/investment provisions of the agreement. The $90 million aggregate limit on asset sales remains in effect.

The foregoing summary description of the Credit Agreement contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
