     2.   Orders.  Buyer will order and make available for retail sale all
          ------
grades of Gasoline which ARCO offers to Buyer (hereinafter collectively,
"Product"), in amounts sufficient to satisfy all foreseeable retail customer
demand for Product at the Premises and will at all times have available for sale
some of each grade of Product, subject only to allocation of Product by ARCO in
a manner determined in ARCO's sole discretion in Buyer's geographic area.  ARCO
will use its best efforts to fill Buyer's orders; however, ARCO may discontinue
sale of any grade of Product at any time upon fifteen (15) calendar days' prior
written notice to Buyer.  ARCO reserves the right to provide automatic Gasoline
ordering and delivery and to not accept individual orders placed by Buyer.

     3.   No Wholesaling.  Buyer will sell Product only to end users for their
          --------------
personal use in volumes not exceeding the capacity of each customer's motor
vehicle fuel tank, any auxiliary fuel tank directly linked to the customer's
motor vehicle engine, and any emergency container capable of holding ten gallons
or less.  The Premises shall be open for business seven (7) calendar days a week
for a minimum of eight (8) consecutive hours each day.

     4.   Delivery.  ARCO will deliver Product into Buyer's storage facilities
          --------
described below.  Title to and risk of loss of Product will pass to Buyer upon
delivery into Buyer's storage facilities.  ARCO alone will select the method and
mode of shipment and delivery.  ARCO expressly reserves the right to supply
Product to other retail outlets whether owned and operated by ARCO or its
subsidiary Prestige Stations, Inc. or by independent owners and operators,
regardless of how near or far such other retail outlets may be located relative
to the Premises.

     5.   Prices.  For Product delivered hereunder, Buyer will pay the price
          ------
specified by ARCO in effect at the time and place of delivery for purchasers of
Buyer's class of trade.  Price shall be subject to change at any time, at the
election of ARCO, without notice.  Should ARCO elect to provide notice of price
changes, it may do so by telephone, or at ARCO's sole election, facsimile
transmission.  Buyer must have the capability to notices of price changes and
invoices at the Premises by facsimile transmission.  At ARCO's sole discretion,
to enable Buyer to compete more effectively with Buyer's competitors, ARCO may
from time to time grant Buyer a "temporary voluntary allowance" applicable to
Product to be sold by Buyer under this Agreement from metered dispensers on the
Premises.  ARCO may condition the payment of allowances on Buyer's observance of
maximum retail selling prices determined by ARCO or maximum gross profit margins
determined by ARCO or a reduction in Buyer's retail selling price commensurate
with the amount of the allowance.

     6.   Payment.  Unless ARCO extends credit to Buyer as provided below, Buyer
          -------
will pay for Product prior to its delivery in U.S. dollars.  ARCO shall require
a product advance payment approximately equal to the current cost of an average
delivery of Product.  ARCO may increase or decrease the amount of the advance
payment at any time to reflect current prices and Buyer will pay any additional
amount necessary if the advance payment is increased.  Payment will be made by
U.S. Postal money order, other money order approved by ARCO, electronic funds
transfer initiated by ARCO, wire transfer, cashier's check or business check,
whichever ARCO directs, delivered by Buyer at the time and place as designated
by ARCO.  Buyer's

                                 Page 2 of 21
<PAGE>

financial institution through which payment by electronic funds transfer
initiated by ARCO is made must be a member of NACHA (The National Automated
Clearing House Association). Payment will be deemed made when, and only when,
its receipt has been verified by ARCO. If this Agreement requires or permits
payment by check, all checks shall be made payable to "ARCO" or "Atlantic
Richfield Company," and to no other person, firm or entity. If this Agreement
requires or permits payment by wire transfer, all such payments shall be made to
"ARCO Products Company, c/o Citibank NA, For Credit to APC National Credit
#4051-4874, New York, New York 10043," and to no other bank or account number
unless so advised in writing by the Credit Manager, ARCO Products Company. If
this Agreement requires or permits payment by automated clearing house ("EFT"),
all such payments shall be made to "ARCO Products Company, c/o Citibank
Delaware, For Credit to APC National Credit - ACH #3815-2114, New Castle,
Delaware 19720," and to no other bank of account number unless so advised in
writing by the Credit Manager, ARCO Products Company. If this Agreement requires
or permits payment by electronic funds transfer ("EFT"), all such payments shall
be made in strict accord with procedures established and promulgated by the ARCO
Products Company credit department. Buyer agrees to indemnify ARCO for any loss
or expense caused by Buyer's failure to comply with this Paragraph. Upon demand,
Buyer will reimburse ARCO the amount of any temporary voluntary allowance
erroneously applied to Product other than Product sold under this Agreement from
metered dispensers on the Premises. In addition to any other remedies available
to it, ARCO may offset against any future temporary voluntary allowance or
against other amounts owed to Buyer the amount of any reimbursement to which
ARCO is entitled if Buyer fails to make any payment or reimbursement when due.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that ARCO's receipt of payment due hereunder after
the issuance of a notice of termination or nonrenewal does not effect a waiver
of ARCO's termination or nonrenewal rights.

     7.   Credit.  ARCO may in its sole discretion from time to time extend
          ------
credit to Buyer in whatever amounts, and on whatever terms ARCO alone selects.
If ARCO extends Buyer credit, ARCO may withdraw it at any time without notice
and for any reason.  In ARCO's sole judgment, ARCO may do any or all of the
following: (i) require that Buyer pay for Product by cashier's check, money
order or bank wire transfer prior to delivery, (ii) require that Buyer post as
irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank satisfactory to ARCO, (iii)
require Buyer present evidence of financial solvency, and (iv) declare Buyer in
default of this Agreement if Buyer fails to pay any indebtedness when due,
provide evidence of financial solvency upon request or comply with any other
term of this Agreement.  Buyer agrees that regardless of whether and for how
long ARCO has extended it credit, ARCO may cease extending credit at any time
and instead require that payment be made in the manner set forth in this
Paragraph or in Paragraph 6 above.

     8.   Non-conformities.  Buyer will notify ARCO in writing of the exact
          ----------------
nature of any nonconformity in the type, quantity or price of any Product
delivered to Buyer within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery.  Buyer
hereby waives any claim against ARCO based on any nonconformity of which Buyer
does not so notify ARCO.

          --------------
times keep a detailed record of the date and time of delivery, and the grade and
amount of Product delivered expressed in terms of gallons.  To assist ARCO in
determining the necessity of any temporary voluntary allowance described in
Paragraph 5 above, Buyer will (i) sell all Product through metered dispensers
which shall indicate the grade and amount of gasoline purchased, (ii) allow ARCO
to inspect Buyer's Product dispensers, recorders and meters, and books and
records relating to delivery and Product inventory, and (iii) allow ARCO to

faces with a numerals kit and pump identification signs. Buyer hereby agrees

calendar days a week for a minimum of eight (8) consecutive hours each day, (ii)
the Marks are only displayed or used in the manner specified by ARCO, and (iii)
all trademark rights resulting from such display or usage shall inure to ARCO's
benefit.  ARCO reserves the right to withdraw or modify any of the Marks or
their manner of display without prior notice to Buyer. Upon receiving notice of
any withdrawal or modification of the Marks, Buyer will fully implement any
modification or termination within the time specified in the notice.  If Buyer
fails to comply fully with any notice of withdrawal or modification, in addition
to any other remedies available to ARCO for breach of this Agreement, ARCO may
demand that Buyer immediately remove all Marks from the Premises at Buyer's sole
expense.  If Buyer fails to do so, ARCO or ARCO's contractor may enter the
Premises and remove all Marks, and Buyer will reimburse ARCO for such removal.

          14.3 Shared Expenses.  ARCO will reimburse Buyer a portion of the cost

required hereunder and set forth is Exhibit B, as specified below.  The amount
of such reimbursement shall be the lesser of (i) one half of Buyer's actual
verifiable cost, or (ii) the maximum amount indicated on Exhibit B.  The
reimbursement shall apply on a one-time only basis to the Premises during its
entire franchise relationship with ARCO regardless of whether this is the first
or a subsequent agreement between Buyer and ARCO for the supply of Product at
the Premises.  Buyer shall be solely responsible for the cost of maintaining,
repairing and replacing all trade dress.  Request for the foregoing
reimbursement shall be in writing and accompanied by all original invoices (of

                                 Page 8 of 21
<PAGE>

which Buyer shall keep copies).  Upon receiving such a request, ARCO shall
inspect Buyer's facility to confirm that the trade dress is of the proper type
and properly installed and verify Buyer's actual cost.  If ARCO confirms that
the trade dress meets ARCO's requirements and verifies Buyer's submitted cost as
accurate, then ARCO shall either reimburse Buyer the amount described above or
pay the entire cost of such trade dress directly to the third party vendor,
whichever ARCO alone chooses.  If ARCO elects to pay the third party vendor
directly, then within five (5) calendar days after receiving notice from ARCO
that such payment will be or has been made, Buyer will remit to ARCO the
difference between the amount of the invoice and the amount of ARCO's
reimbursement as calculated above.  Further, ARCO may arrange directly with a
third patty vendor to satisfy the requirements of this Paragraph 14.3 and
collect from Buyer in advance upon five days' notice, an amount equal to the
total maximum reimbursements to which Buyer is entitled under this Paragraph and
Exhibit B, to cover Buyer's share of the cost of trade dress expenses.  Should
the amount of this advance payment exceed one half of the actual cost of
satisfying the trade dress requirements herein, ARCO will refund the excess
amount to Buyer.  If the amount of the advance payment is less than the actual
cost of satisfying the trade dress requirements herein, then Buyer shall pay
ARCO the amount of the deficiency upon demand.  In addition to all other
