RECITALS

WHEREAS, Portfolio Owner and Seller entered into that certain Standby Real Estate Purchase, Designation and Lease Program with an Effective Date of May 3, 2021, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Standby Real Estate Purchase, Designation and Lease Program with an Effective Date of April 7, 2022, and Portfolio Owner, Fund VI (who was added as a party to the Agreement under such amendment), and Seller further entered into that certain Second Amendment to Standby Real Estate Purchase, Designation and Lease Program with an Effective Date of March 28, 2023 (as so amended, the “Agreement”), for the purchase of real properties operating as convenience stores and gas stations, cardlock fuel stations and other types/classifications of real property, as more set forth in the Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller have agreed to amend the Agreement as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.
Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.
2.
Defined Terms. Except as specified to the contrary in this Amendment, all defined terms in this Amendment have the same meaning set forth in the Agreement.
3.
Term; Exclusivity. Paragraph A of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu thereof:

A. Term; Exclusivity. During the period commencing on the date first set forth above (the “Effective Date”) and terminating on September 30, 2024 (the “Exclusivity Period”), other than with respect to the existing transactions specifically set forth on Schedule 2, Seller shall not sell or designate any Property pursuant to a sale-leaseback

1


 

(or similar leasing) transaction, without first offering such Property to Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exclusivity Period shall terminate prior to September 30, 2024 if, and at such time as, either (a) the credit rating for Seller’s parent entity, ARKO Corp., as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (a “NRSRO”) is downgraded below [***] as determined by Moody’s or [***] as determined by Standard & Poor’s (such occurrence, the “ARKO Downgrade Event”), or (b) Purchase Agreements (as defined below) for SLB Properties and Designation Agreements (as defined below) for Assigned Properties that have been executed during the period of the Exclusivity Period from May 2, 2023 to September 30, 2024, have, in the aggregate, purchase prices equal to or greater than One Billion Five Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,500,000,000.00); provided, however, that solely in connection with an Assigned Trigger Notice delivered with respect to potential Assigned Properties relating to Seller’s proposed acquisition of TravelCenters of America, Inc. (collectively, the “TA Assigned Properties”) (i) the One Billion Five Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,500,000,000.00) hereinabove referenced shall be increased by an additional One Billion Two Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars (1,250,000.00) (the “TA Assigned Properties Cap Amount”) in order to accommodate the purchase by Seller of such TA Assigned Properties, subject in all respects to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, and (ii) the Exclusivity Period with respect to the TA Assigned Properties Cap Amount shall expire on September 30, 2023; provided, further, that the purchase price for which Purchaser may acquire each such TA Assigned Property shall be as set forth on Schedule 3 hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be deemed to affect or modify Purchaser’s obligations to approve any (i) SLB Property identified on an SLB Trigger Notice or (ii) Assigned Property identified on any Assigned Trigger Notice, in each such case to the extent delivered by Seller to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Exclusivity Period, including, without limitation, as a result of the occurrence of an ARKO Downgrade Event.

 

4.
SLB Properties. Paragraph B of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu thereof:
(1)
Identification of SLB Properties. Seller may, from time to time during the Exclusivity Period, identify SLB Properties that Seller proposes to sell to, and lease back from, Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, by delivering to Purchaser (a) a written notice (the “SLB Trigger Notice”) identifying (i) the street addresses of the SLB Properties, (ii) Seller’s proposal as to the initial annual base rent with respect to each SLB Property, and (iii) the purchase price for which Purchaser may acquire each such SLB Property, which purchase price (x) shall be equal to the quotient of such initial annual base rent divided by [***] (the “Seller SLB Trigger Notice Proposed Percentage”) provided that the Seller SLB Trigger Notice Proposed Percentage shall not exceed [***], and (y) shall be reasonably equivalent to the [***] of such SLB Property, and (b) the due diligence materials listed as and to the extent set forth on Schedule 1 (collectively, the “DD Materials”) with respect to such SLB Properties.
(2)
Review of SLB Properties. On or prior to the date that is ten (10) business days after delivery of the SLB Trigger Notice and all of the DD Materials with respect to such SLB Properties as and to the extent set forth on Schedule 1 (the “SLB Property Election Date”),

2

 


 

Purchaser shall elect, by written notice to Seller (each, an “SLB Property Election Notice”), to approve or reject each SLB Property (individually) for acquisition by Purchaser. Purchaser may elect to reject any SLB Property only if (i) the Seller SLB Trigger Notice Proposed Percentage is [***], or (ii) the DD Materials with respect to such SLB Property disclose a fact, circumstance or other matter that would have a material and adverse effect on the value, financeability or condition of such SLB Property or the tenant or guarantor under the Lease, as determined by Purchaser in its reasonable discretion. If Purchaser fails to deliver an SLB Property Election Notice with respect to any SLB Property on or before the SLB Property Election Date, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have rejected such SLB Property.
(3)
Rejection of SLB Properties. If Purchaser rejects (or is deemed to have rejected) an SLB Property pursuant to Section B(2), then Seller and Purchaser shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to such SLB Property.
(4)
Approval of SLB Properties. If Purchaser approves an SLB Property pursuant to Section B(2), then Seller and Purchaser shall cause a purchase and sale agreement in the form and substance of the purchase and sale agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Purchase Agreement”) with respect to such approved SLB Properties to be executed by and between Seller and Purchaser as soon as possible, and in any event within three (3) business days following the SLB Property Election Date. Each such Purchase Agreement shall provide, among other things, (i) for a purchase price equal to [***] and (ii) that the closing date shall be no later than sixty (60) days after execution of the Purchase Agreement. If Purchaser approves of less than seven (7) Properties, then Purchaser may elect either to include such Properties in a new Lease or to amend the most recently executed Lease to include such Properties in such prior Lease, in which event the term of such prior Lease shall be adjusted to commence upon the date such Properties are added to such prior Lease.
5.
Assigned Properties. Paragraph C of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu thereof:
(1)
Identification of Assigned Properties. During the course of Seller’s negotiations to acquire a fee simple interest in any Assigned Property (“Assigned PSA”), Seller may, from time to time during the Exclusivity Period, deliver to Purchaser (a) a written notice (the “Assigned Trigger Notice”) identifying (i) the street addresses of the Assigned Properties to which such Assigned PSA relates, (ii) Seller’s proposal as to the initial annual base rent with respect to each Assigned Property, and (iii) the purchase price for which Purchaser may acquire each such Assigned Property, which purchase price (x) shall be equal to [***] (the “Seller Assigned Trigger Notice Proposed Percentage”) provided that the Seller Assigned Trigger Notice Proposed Percentage shall not exceed [***], and (y) shall be reasonably equivalent [***] of such Assigned Property, (b) the DD Materials with respect to each such Assigned Property as and to the extent set forth on Schedule 1, and (c) as and when fully executed and delivered, a fully-executed, true, correct and complete copy of the Assigned PSA.
(2)
Review of Assigned Properties. On or prior to the date that is five (5) business days after delivery by Seller to Purchaser of the Assigned Trigger Notice and all of the DD Materials with respect to such Assigned Properties as and to set forth on Schedule 1 and the then-current draft of the Assigned PSA (if available at such time) (the “Assigned Property Election Date”),

3

 


 

Purchaser shall elect, by written notice to Seller (the “Assigned Property Election Notice”), to approve or reject each such Assigned Property for acquisition by Purchaser. Purchaser may elect to reject any Assigned Property only if (i) the Seller Assigned Trigger Notice Proposed Percentage is [***], (ii) the DD Materials with respect to such Assigned Property disclose a fact, circumstance or other matter that would have a material and adverse effect on the value, financeability or condition of such Assigned Property or the tenant or guarantor under the Lease, as determined by Purchaser in its reasonable discretion, or (iii) if, in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, the terms of the Assigned PSA would materially and adversely affect the marketability or value of Purchaser’s fee simple title to the applicable Assigned Properties. If Purchaser fails to deliver an Assigned Property Election Notice with respect to the applicable Assigned Property on or before the Assigned Property Election Date, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have rejected such Assigned Property.
(3)
Rejection of Assigned Property; Failure to Execute and Deliver Assigned PSA. If Purchaser rejects (or is deemed to have rejected) an Assigned Property pursuant to Section C(2), or in the event the Assigned PSA fails to be fully executed and delivered for any reason, then Seller and Purchaser shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Assigned Property.
(4)
Approval of Assigned Property. If Purchaser approves an Assigned Property pursuant to Section C(2), then, at least three (3) business days prior to the date Seller desires to execute the Assigned PSA, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (i) an unexecuted copy of the Assigned PSA in substantially final form and (ii) a designation agreement in the form and substance of the designation agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C (a “Designation Agreement”) with respect to such approved Assigned Property, pursuant to which Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s rights under the Assigned PSA, solely with respect to the right to receive fee simple title to the Assigned Properties approved by Purchaser. If the terms of the Assigned PSA would, in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, materially and adversely affect the marketability or value of Purchaser’s fee simple title to any Assigned Property or Purchaser’s rights with respect to any Assigned Property, then Purchaser shall have the right, by written notice to Seller prior to execution of the Designation Agreement, to reject such Assigned Properties, in which event Section C(3) shall apply. If Purchaser does not reject the Assigned PSA as provided above, then Purchaser shall deliver to Seller an executed and fully compiled copy of the Designation Agreement, concurrently with Seller’s execution of the Assigned PSA in form and substance identical to the draft provided to Purchaser pursuant to this Section C(4). Each such Designation Agreement shall provide, among other things, for a purchase price equal to [***]. Prior to entering into the Designation Agreement, Seller shall have the flexibility to elect to (i) remove certain Assigned Properties from the applicable Assigned Property transaction in the event Seller elects to either acquire such Assigned Properties directly for itself or elects to remove such Assigned Properties from the Assigned PSA, provided that Seller reimburses Purchaser for Purchaser’s actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred with respect to legal documentation and due diligence with respect to such removed Property, up to a maximum reimbursement of the sum of Buyer’s actual, out-of-pocket costs to obtain customary third-party due diligence reports with respect to the Properties, and/or (ii) amend the purchase price/initial annual base rent for which Purchaser may acquire each such Assigned Property as a result of Seller’s underwriting analysis/financial due diligence, subject to Purchaser’s written consent, which may be withheld in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion,

provided, however, that Purchaser shall be deemed to consent if the amended purchase price is neither greater nor less than [***] of the purchase price for such Assigned Property as set forth in the Assigned Trigger Notice, and provided that the purchase price shall always comply with the requirements of Section C(1)(iii)(x) and (y). If Purchaser approves of less than seven (7) Properties, then Purchaser may elect either to include such Properties in a new Lease or to amend the most recently executed Lease to include such Properties in such prior Lease, in which event the term of such prior Lease shall be adjusted to commence upon the date such Properties are added to such prior Lease.
6.
Designation Agreement. Exhibit C of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and Exhibit C attached hereto is inserted in lieu thereof.
7.
Conflict. If there is a conflict between the terms of the Agreement and this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall control.
8.
Ratification. Except as herein expressly amended, each and every other term of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect without modification, and Purchaser and Seller hereby ratify and affirm the same.
9.
Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts, all of which are identical and all of which counterparts together shall constitute one and the same document. This Amendment may be executed by facsimile or other electronic signature.
