civic or charitable boards or committees. 


  

	 	•	 	 You will relocate to Corpus Christi on or before August 15, 2008. The Company will pay all reasonable and documented expenses in connection with your

	 	•	 	 The Company will provide you with four (4) weeks of vacation per year, a notebook computer, reimbursement for all ordinary and necessary business expenses, and
participation in employee benefits, programs and perquisites as are provided to other similarly situated executives of Susser; provided, however, that these policies, benefits, programs and perquisites may be modified by Susser and/or the
Company in its sole discretion from time to time, as directed, by Susser’s and/or the Company’s Board of Directors. 


  

	 	•	 	 Your compensation package will be reviewed annually beginning in February of 2009 by the Compensation Committee of Susser’s Board of Directors.

year. Your bonus payments will be treated consistent with other senior executive officers of Susser.

 8. Restrictive Covenants. 
  

	 	(a)	Non-competition. You hereby agree, in consideration of your employment hereunder and in view of the confidential position to be held by you hereunder, and in further
consideration of the termination of the Transition Agreement, you will not, except as a passive investor owning less than a 2% interest in a publicly held company, at any time during the Restricted Period, acting alone or in conjunction with others,
directly or indirectly engage in, or own or control any interest in, or act as a director, officer or employee of, or consultant to, or otherwise be employed by any business engaged in the operation of convenience stores, wholesale fuel distribution
or any other business conducted by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates in any county in which the Company operates as of the date of your termination of employment. This non-competition provision excludes the passive ownership by
you of real estate properties that may be leased to convenience store operators and ownership in the Company after termination. For purposes hereof, the “Restricted Period” means the period from the Effective Date through the second
anniversary of your termination of employment with the Company for any reason. 

  

	 	(b)	Non-Solicitation. Without the consent in writing from the Board of Directors of Susser, you will not, at any time during the Restricted Period, acting alone or in conjunction
with others, directly or indirectly induce, or attempt to influence, any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries to terminate employment. 

  

	 	(c)	 Non-Disclosure; Ownership of Work. You shall not, at any time during your employment and thereafter (including following your termination of employment for
any reason), disclose, use, transfer, or sell, except in the course of employment with or other service to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, any proprietary information, secrets, organizational or employee information, or other
confidential information belonging or relating to the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates and customers so long as such information has not otherwise been disclosed or is not otherwise in the public domain, except as required by law or with the
Company’s consent. In addition, upon termination of employment for any reason, you will return to the Company all documents and other media containing information belonging or relating to the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates. You will
promptly disclose in writing to the Company all inventions, discoveries, developments, improvements and innovations (collectively referred to as “Inventions”) that you have conceived or made during your employment with the Company, its
subsidiaries or affiliates; provided, however, that in this context “Inventions” are limited to those which (i) relate in any manner to the existing or contemplated business or research activities of the Company, its subsidiaries and
affiliates; (ii) are suggested by or result from your work at the Company; or (iii) result from the use of the time, materials or 



  

 4 










	 	 
facilities of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates. All Inventions will be the Company’s property rather than yours. Should the Company request
it, you agree to sign any document that the Company may reasonably require to establish ownership in any Invention. 


  

	 	(d)	Blue Pencil. The parties hereby acknowledge that the restrictions in this paragraph 8 have been specifically negotiated and agreed to by the parties hereto and are limited
only to those restrictions necessary to protect the Company and its subsidiaries from unfair competition. The parties hereby agree that if the scope or enforceability of any provision, paragraph or subparagraph of this paragraph 8 is in any way
disputed at any time, and should a court find that such restrictions are overly broad, the court may modify and enforce the covenant to the extent that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Each provision, paragraph and subparagraph
of this paragraph 8 is separable from every other provision, paragraph, and subparagraph and constitutes a separate and distinct covenant. 

  

	 	(e)	Remedies. You hereby expressly acknowledge that any breach or threatened breach by you of any of the terms set forth in paragraph 8 of this Agreement may result in
significant and continuing injury to the Company, the monetary value of which would be impossible to establish. Therefore, you agree that the Company shall be entitled to apply for injunctive relief in a court of appropriate jurisdiction.


  

	 	(f)	Survival. The provisions of this paragraph 8 shall survive the termination of your employment.

 This is an exciting day and the beginning of a new chapter in both of our professional lives. I am honored by your
confidence and look forward to building the business together. 
  

	
	Very truly yours,
