 Exhibit 10.38 
  
 AMENDMENT NO. 1 
 TO 
 MASTER SUPPLY CONTRACT 
 FOR 
 RESALE OF OILS AND GREASES 
  
 This AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO MASTER SUPPLY CONTRACT FOR RESALE OF OILS AND GREASES (this “Amendment No 1”) is made as of July 1, 2005 (the “Effective
Date of Amendment No 1”), between ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (formerly known as Mobil Oil Corporation) (“Seller”) with offices at 3225 Gallows Road, Fairfax, VA 22037, and PETRO STOPPING CENTERS, L.P. (“Buyer”), with offices
at 6080 Surety Drive, El Paso, TX 79905. (Seller and Buyer are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”) 
  
 WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer have entered into that certain Master Supply Contract for Resale of Oils and Greases (the “Supply
Contract”) dated as of July 23, 1999; and 
  
 WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer
wish to amend certain terms, conditions, and provisions of the Supply Contract for the mutual benefit of the Parties; 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Section 1, “Products; Quantities,” is amended to read in its entirety as follows: 

  

	 	1.	Products; Quantities. 

  

	 	(a)	 (i) Seller agrees to sell and Buyer agrees to purchase on the terms and conditions of this Supply Contract, Seller’s lubricants for those Buyer-Operated
Truckstops located at the addresses set forth on the “List of Locations/Buyer-Operated Truckstops” on Exhibit 1, attached to and made part of this Supply Contract (referred to herein as the “Buyer-Operated Truckstops”). Seller
also agrees to sell and Buyer agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be purchased said lubricants by those Franchisee-Operated Truckstops located at the addresses set forth on the “List of Locations/Franchisee-Operated
Truckstops” on Exhibit 1, attached to and made part of this Supply Contract (referred to herein as the “Franchisee-Operated Truckstops” and collectively with the Buyer-Operated Truckstops, the “Truckstop Locations”).
As Buyer adds new Buyer-Operated Truckstops and Franchisee-Operated Truckstops to its Truckstop chain, Exhibit 1 will be modified to include them. “Buyer-Operated” locations include locations operated by an affiliate of Buyer and branded
PETRO. For 



  

 1 









	 	 
purposes herein, “Seller’s lubricants” shall be those set forth on Exhibit 2, as it may be amended by Seller from time to time.



  
 (ii) Buyer agrees to purchase, or to use
its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be purchased at the Franchisee-Operated Truckstops, for the Truckstop Locations, the Minimum Purchase Gallons of Seller’s lubricants set forth in the table below for each remaining calendar year
of the Initial Term, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) below. The historical gallons requirements for the years 1999 through 2004 are shown for convenient reference. In the event that the Supply Contract
is not extended into the Extended Term, the Minimum Purchase Gallons for the year 2009 shall be prorated, based on the actual number of days of Initial Term remaining in calendar year 2009. The Parties understand and agree that the Minimum Purchase
Gallons for years after 2005 set forth below are based on an annual growth rate of one percent (1%) from the 2005 amount: 
  
 Minimum Purchase Gallons from PETRO Corp 
 Stores and PETRO Franchisee Stores

	 	2,142,000
	 2009
	 	2,163,000

  
 (iii) In the event
that the Supply Contract is extended into the Extended Term, then (I) the Minimum Purchase Gallons for calendar year 2009 shall be 2,163,000, as indicated in the chart above (or as adjusted pursuant to paragraphs (b), (c) and/or
(d) below), (II) the Minimum Purchase Gallons for calendar years 2010 through 2014 shall equal the Minimum Purchase Gallons for 

  

 2 








 
calendar year 2009, and (III) the Minimum Purchase Gallons for the year 2014 shall be prorated, based on the actual number of days of Initial Term remaining
in calendar year 2014. 
  
 (iv) Buyer understands and agrees that
except as set forth in the paragraph immediately below, and except for adjustments made pursuant to paragraphs (b), (c), and/or (d) below, the Minimum Purchase Gallons set forth in the table above, and in paragraph (iii) immediately above,
are firm figures, and that if the total aggregate gallons required for the five (5) year period 2005 through 2009, (as these amounts may be adjusted in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Amendment No 1) are not purchased by Buyer
and Buyer’s Franchisee-Operated Truckstops, then Buyer shall pay Seller, promptly after the end of such period, One Dollar ($1.00) for each gallon that such actual purchases for that period fall short of the aggregate required gallons for that
period. In the event that the Supply Contract is extended into the Extended Term, and Buyer and the Franchisee-Operated Truckstops do not purchase the total aggregate gallons required for the five (5) year period of the Extended Term, then
Buyer shall pay Seller, promptly after the end of such period, One Dollar ($1.00) for each gallon that Buyer’s actual purchases for that period fall short of the aggregate required gallons for that period. 
  
 (v) In the event that the price of bulk Delvac 1300 Engine Oil to Buyer from
Seller for any consecutive sixty (60) day period in a calendar year is equal to or greater than the higher of (i) the price of Shell Rotella T plus ten (10) cents a gallon or (ii) the price of Chevron Delo plus ten
(10) cents a gallon, then (i) the Minimum Purchase Gallons for that calendar year shall be reduced by one percent (1%), (ii) the remaining calendar years of the Initial Term shall be recalculated from such reduced base using a one
percent (1%) growth rate, and (iii) if the Supply Contract is extended into the Extended Term, the remaining calendar years of the Extended Term shall also be recalculated accordingly, using a one percent (1%) growth rate. 

 
 (vi) In addition to the purchase requirements set forth above, Buyer
shall purchase from Seller, in aggregate for Buyer-Operated Truckstops, ninety-five percent (95%) of all of its requirements of synthetic lubricants and ninety-five percent (95%) of all of its requirements of all lubricants other than
diesel engine oils. 
  
 (vii) For purposes of this Supply
Contract, 8 pounds of grease equals 1 gallon of conventional oil and 1 gallon of synthetic oil 

  

 3 








 
equals 4 gallons of conventional oil. As used in this Supply Contract, the terms “Seller’s product” and “Seller’s lubricants”
are used interchangeably. 
  

	 	(b)	For any of calendar years 2006 through 2009, Minimum Purchase Gallons as set forth in the table above shall be adjusted by adding to that calendar year’s Minimum Purchase
Gallons 30,000 gallons for each new Buyer-Operated Truckstop Location and 20,000 gallons for each new Franchisee-Operated Truckstop Location that comes on stream in the prior calendar year, and subtracting any Permanent Adjustments (as defined
below) and any Temporary Adjustments (as defined below). For purposes of this paragraph, “prior year’s Minimum Purchase Gallons” means as adjusted by application of this paragraph, when applicable. 

  

	 	(c)	A list of Seller’s lubricants that may be purchased by Buyer (or caused to be purchased by Buyer) is set forth on Exhibit 2, which is attached to and made part of this Supply
Contract. Seller’s lubricants, grades, trademarks, and packaging shall be those marketed and used by Seller at times of deliveries for similar buyers in Buyer’s area, all as determined by Seller. Seller may change the grade,
specifications, characteristics, delivery package, brand name, or other distinctive designation of any of Seller’s products, and such products as so changed shall remain subject to this Supply Contract. Buyer may purchase or cause to be
purchased any combination of lubricants listed on Exhibit 2 in order to comply with the purchase obligations set forth above. If Seller deletes without replacing a product listed on Exhibit 2, Buyer’s purchase obligations shall be adjusted
pursuant to Section (d) below. 

  

	 	(d)	A “Permanent Adjustment” or a “Temporary Adjustment” is a reduction in the Minimum Purchase Gallons due to one or more of the events listed below and shall be
made as follows. 

  
 Permanent
Adjustment: Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, the Minimum Purchase Gallons shall be permanently reduced by the Effected Volume (as defined below): (i) if a decision is made by the Board of Directors of Petro Stopping Centers,
L.P. to divest a Truckstop Location; (ii) as a result of an action of eminent domain, a Truckstop Location’s operations must be permanently shut down; or (iii) ExxonMobil discontinues, without replacing with a comparable product, any
Product listed on Exhibit 2 (a “Product Discontinuation”). 
  

 4 








 Temporary Adjustment: Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, the Minimum
Purchase Gallons shall be temporarily reduced by the Effected Volume: (i) ExxonMobil’s inability to supply product at a Truckstop location for a period greater than 30 days; or (ii) because of a Force Majeure Condition (as defined in
Section 10 below), Petro is unable to operate the Truckstop facility for a period of greater than twenty-four (24) hours. Petro shall advise ExxonMobil of any of said outages in a timely fashion in order to establish a Temporary
Adjustment. 
  
 Effected Volume: The
“Effected Volume” will be calculated as 30,000 gallons for Buyer-Operated Truckstops and 20,000 gallons for Franchise-Operated Truckstops (plus the cumulative volume growth using the one percent (1%) growth factor applied pursuant to
Section 1(a) up to the date of the Temporary or Permanent Adjustment) for each Truckstop Location affected by one or more of the above-described events, prorated over the period of time that the event is in effect for that Truckstop Location,
except that if the only such event for a Truckstop Location is a Product Discontinuation, then the Effected Volume will equal the average annual volume of that product that Buyer purchased from Seller during the three (3) years preceding such
Product Discontinuation, prorated over the period of time that the Product is Discontinued. 
  

	2.	Section 2, “Marketing Obligations,” is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
