defined below). This Agreement amends, restates and continues that certain Indemnity and Hold Harmless Agreement (the &#147;Original Hold Harmless Agreement&#148;) dated May 1, 1992, which was amended and restated by that certain Amended and
Restated Indemnity and Hold Harmless Agreement (the &#147;First Restated Hold Harmless Agreement&#148;) dated May 24, 1994 by J.A. Cardwell, Jr., which was amended and restated by that certain Second Amended and Restated Indemnity and Hold Harmless
Agreement (the &#147;Second Restated Hold Harmless Agreement&#148;) dated January 30, 1997 by J.A. Cardwell, Jr., which was amended by that certain Addendum to Second Amended and Restated Indemnity and Hold Harmless Agreement (the &#147;Addendum to
Second Restated Hold Harmless Agreement&#148;) dated January 30, 1997 by J.A. Cardwell, Jr., which was amended and restated by that certain Third Amended and Restated Indemnity and Hold Harmless Agreement (the &#147;Third Restated Hold Harmless
Agreement&#148;) dated July 23, 1999 by J.A. Cardwell, Jr. (the Original Hold Harmless Agreement, the First Restated Hold Harmless Agreement, the Second Restated Hold Harmless Agreement, the Addendum to Second Restated Hold Harmless Agreement, and

Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Petro PSC Properties, L.P. (the &#147;PSCP Partnership Agreement&#148;) dated May 1, 1992. Pursuant to the Participation Agreement and the PSCP Partnership Agreement, Indemnitor agreed to contribute and
convey to Petro Operating all of those rights and assets more specifically described in exhibits to the Participation Agreement, subject to such obligations and indebtedness as the parties to the PSCP Partnership Agreement expressly agreed that
Petro Operating would assume as set forth in exhibits to the Participation Agreement and the PSCP Partnership Agreement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

including the effective date of the Second Restated Hold Harmless Agreement was a general partner of the Petro Operating), Petro Operating GP Corp., a Delaware corporation (&#147;Operating GP&#148;) (which up until and including the effective date
of the Third Restated Hold Harmless Agreement was a general partner of the Petro Operating), and Petro Financial would have been liable for the obligations of indebtedness that are described in Exhibit &#148;A&#148; attached to each of the Previous
Hold Harmless Agreements. Consequently, Petro, Roadside, Operating GP, and Petro Financial would have borne the economic risk of loss (the &#147;Economic Risk of Loss&#148;) under section 752 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
&#147;Code&#148;), and the Treasury regulations thereunder, and would have been at risk (&#147;At Risk&#148;) under section 465 of the Code for such indebtedness. The Previous Hold Harmless Agreements were entered into to ensure that Indemnitor
would be solely liable for a specific dollar amount (as adjusted under Paragraph 1.2 of each of the Previous Harmless Agreements) of indebtedness (the &#147;Old Indemnified Amount&#148;) so that the Indemnitor would bear the Economic Risk of Loss
and be At Risk for the Old Indemnified Amount. By making the Indemnitor bear the Economic Risk of Loss and be At Risk for the Old Indemnified Amount, the Indemnitor has been able to: (i) avoid recognizing gain under section 731(a)(1) of the Code as
a result of a decrease in Indemnitor&#146;s share of liabilities under section 752(b) of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder; (ii) receive an allocation of debts and </FONT></P>

Agreement is being entered into in connection with the closing of a series of transactions (the &#147;Refinancing Transactions&#148;) pursuant to which the Petro Holdings and Petro Operating will refinance substantially all of their indebtedness.
The Refinancing Transactions are described in an offering memorandum (the &#147;Offering Memorandum&#148;) being issued in connection with the offering of new senior secured notes that are due in 2012. As a result of the Refinancing Transactions,
Petro Holdings, Petro Operating, Petro, Petro Holdings Financial, Petro Distributing, and/or Petro Financial will be liable on various debt obligations that are described on the attached <B><U>Exhibit &#148;A&#148;</U></B> (defined collectively as
the &#147;Debt Obligations&#148;). The Debt Obligations are a continuation, confirmation, extension, increase and/or additional issuance of debt represented by the various debt obligations described in the Previous Hold Harmless Agreements. To
