THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of May 15, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), by BP CORPORATION NORTH AMERICA, INC., an Indiana corporation (together with any successor or assign, the “Guarantor”), for the benefit of HPT TA PROPERTIES TRUST, a Maryland real estate investment trust, and HPT TA PROPERTIES LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (together with each of their successors and assigns, collectively, the “Landlord”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, TA Operating LLC (the “Tenant”), a Delaware limited liability company, leases from the Landlord certain real properties and improvements and certain fixtures and tangible and intangible property owned by the Landlord that are operated as hospitality, fuel and service facilities, pursuant to that certain Second Amended and Restated Lease Agreement No. 3, dated as of October 14, 2019, between the Landlord and the Tenant (the “Prior Lease”), and TRAVELCENTERS OF AMERICA INC., a Maryland corporation (“TCA”), guarantees the obligations of the Tenant under the Prior Lease pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement, dated as of October 14, 2019 (the “Prior Guaranty”);
WHEREAS, TCA has entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 14, 2023, with BP Products North America Inc. (“Parent”) and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and Guarantor (“Merger Subsidiary”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into TCA (the “Merger”), in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;
WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger, the Landlord and the Tenant have agreed to amend and restate the Prior Lease pursuant to that certain Third Amended and Restated Lease Agreement No. 3, dated as of the Effective Date (as it may be amended from time to time or extended, the “Restated Lease”);
WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the Landlord’s entering into the Restated Lease that the Guarantor enter into this Agreement to substitute the Guarantor as the replacement for the Prior Guarantor and to amend and restate the Prior Guaranty as set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, the transactions contemplated by the Restated Lease are of direct material benefit to the Guarantor;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby agrees, effective as of the Effective Date, that the Prior Guaranty is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
1.    Certain Terms. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Restated Lease.



2.    Guaranteed Obligations. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” shall mean the payment of each and every monetary obligation of the Tenant to the Landlord under the Restated Lease, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and including, without limitation, the payment of the full amount of the Rent payable under the Restated Lease and damages due and payable by the Tenant to the Landlord as a result of any default in Tenant’s performance of its obligations under the Restated Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, however, the Landlord and SVC accept and agree that the maximum liability of the Guarantor under this Agreement as of the time of any claim made hereunder by the Landlord for the entire Term (as extended) shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Maximum Amount less any and all prior payments made by the Guarantor (and any predecessor guarantor) to the Landlord following any claims hereunder against the Guarantor by the Landlord in respect of Guaranteed Obligations.

As an express exception to the foregoing, the Guarantor agrees that the Landlord may share copies of the Guarantor’s financial statements provided hereunder as the Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, determines to be necessary or desirable in connection with any such existing or proposed financing without the recipient thereof entering into a confidentiality agreement with respect thereto, in each case provided that the Landlord has given the Guarantor advance notice of the Person to which it intends to make such disclosure and the information it intends to share.

5.    Unenforceability of Guaranteed Obligations, etc. If the Tenant is for any reason under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than because the same have been previously discharged in accordance with the terms of the Restated Lease), or if any other moneys included in the Guaranteed Obligations have become unrecoverable from the Tenant by operation of law or for any other reason, including, without limitation, the invalidity or irregularity in whole or in part of any Guaranteed Obligation or of the Restated Lease or any limitation on the liability of the Tenant thereunder not contemplated by the Restated Lease or any limitation on the method or terms of payment thereunder which may now or hereafter be caused or imposed in any manner whatsoever, the guarantees contained in this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect and shall be binding upon the Guarantor to the same extent as if the Guarantor at all times had been the principal debtor on all such Guaranteed Obligations.
6.    Additional Guarantees. This Agreement shall be in addition to any other guarantee or other security for the Guaranteed Obligations and it shall not be prejudiced or
- 4 -


rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guarantee or security or by any waiver, amendment, release or modification thereof.

If at any time another Person who is a Qualifying Guarantor delivers to Landlord a guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations first accruing from and after the date of such guaranty, and otherwise in substantially the same form as this Agreement (a “Replacement Guaranty”), then the Guarantor hereunder shall automatically be released from any obligations under this Agreement if and to the extent they are Guaranteed Obligations under such Replacement Guaranty or otherwise first arise or accrue after the date of such Replacement Guaranty (it being understood that in no circumstance will the replaced guarantor be deemed liable for any obligations that first arise or accrue under the Restated Lease from and after the date of the Replacement Guaranty).
