This Executive Employment Agreement
(the “Agreement”) is entered into and effective as of January 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”),
by and between EVO Transportation & Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) and John Sheehy (“Executive”).

 

1. Duties and Scope of Employment.

 

(a) Positions and Duties. During the
Employment Term (as defined below), Executive will be employed as the Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Executive’s
authority, duties, and responsibilities will correspond to Executive’s position and will include any particular authority,
duties, and responsibilities consistent with the Executive’s position that the Company may assign to Executive from time
to time.

 

(b) Obligations. During the Employment
Term, Executive is required to faithfully and conscientiously perform his assigned duties and to diligently observe all of his
obligations to the Company. Executive agrees to devote his full business time and efforts, energy and skill to his employment at
the Company, and Executive agrees to apply all his skill and experience to the performance of his duties and advancing the Company’s
interests. The foregoing shall not preclude Executive from (i) engaging in civic, charitable or religious activities (including
serving as a director, trustee or officer) or, with the prior written consent of the Company, from serving on the boards of directors
of other companies, (ii) engaging in investments, including but not limited to real estate investments, investment activity of
Sheehy Enterprises Inc., and Loadtrek and acting as the general partner or manager thereof, , or (iii) serving in leadership positions
within industry organizations including but not limited to serving as national president of the National Star Route Mail Contractor’s
Association, as long as such activities do not interfere or conflict with Executive’s responsibilities to or his abilities
to perform his duties hereunder. During the Employment Term, Executive may not perform services as an employee or consultant of
any other competitive organization and Executive will not assist any other person or organization in competing with the Company
or in preparing to engage in competition with the business or proposed business of the Company. Executive shall comply with and
be bound by Company’s operating policies, procedures, and practices from time to time in effect during his employment that
apply to all executive-level employees of the Company. By signing this Agreement, Executive confirms to the Company that he has
no contractual commitments or other legal obligations that would prohibit him from performing his duties for the Company.

 

(c) Employment Term. The term of this
Agreement shall be four (4) years commencing on the Effective Date, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms herein (the
“Initial Term”). Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms herein, the Initial Term shall be automatically
renewed for consecutive additional one-year terms (each, a “Renewal Term”) upon the expiration of the
Initial Term or any Renewal Term unless the Company or Executive delivers to the other at least 90 days prior to the expiration
of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term, as the case may be, a written notice specifying that the term of Executive’s
employment will not be renewed at the end of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term, as the case may be. Like the Initial
Term, the then-current Renewal Term is subject to earlier termination pursuant to the terms herein. The Executive’s period
of employment hereunder is referred herein as the “Employment Term,” whether the Initial Term, the then-current
Renewal Term, or the shorter period through the date of an earlier termination thereof as provided elsewhere herein The notice
of non-renewal given by the Company is referred to herein as the “Company’s Non-Renewal.” The notice
of non-renewal given by Executive is referred to herein as the “Executive’s Non-Renewal.”

 

     

     

    

 

(d) Place of Performance. Executive
will initially primarily report to the principal office of Sheehy Mail Contractors, Inc., an Affiliate of the Company, which is
currently located in the Waterloo, Wisconsin area; provided, however, that the Company may require Executive to relocate his principal
place of employment to the Company’s corporate headquarters in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Executive understands and agrees
that his duties will include reasonable travel, including but not limited to travel to offices of the Company, its Affiliates,
and such other business travel as is reasonably necessary and appropriate to the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder,
subject to reimbursement of expenses pursuant to Section 6 below.

 

2. At-Will Employment. The parties
agree that Executive’s employment with the Company will be “at-will” employment and may be terminated at any
time, upon written notice, either by the Company without Cause (in any such case, “Company’s At-Will Termination”)
or by Executive without Good Reason (in any such case, “Executive’s At-Will Termination”). Executive
understands and agrees that neither his job performance for, nor promotions, commendations, bonuses or the like from, the Company
give rise to or in any way serve as the basis for modification, amendment, or extension, by implication or otherwise, of his employment
with the Company. However, as described in this Agreement, Executive may be entitled to Severance Pay (defined below) and Severance
Benefits (defined below) depending upon the circumstances of the termination of the Employment Term as set forth in Section 7(b)
below.

 

3. Compensation.

 

(a) Initial Base Salary. During the
Employment Term, the Company will pay Executive an annual base salary as compensation for his services (the “Base Salary”)
at the initial rate of $250,000. The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll
practices. The Base Salary will be subject to review and adjustments will be made based upon the Company’s standard practices.

 

(b) Annual Incentive Bonus. During
the Employment Term, Executive will be eligible to earn an annual incentive bonus (an “Annual Bonus”)
under the same or substantially same bonus arrangement, plan or program as in effect for other executive-level employees of the
Company from time to time and based upon the same general objective standards as are applied to the other executive-level employees
of Company, provided that Executive’s personal performance objectives shall be unique to his role as Chief Operating Officer.
Consistent therewith, the Board (or a committee of the Board, if applicable) will determine Executive’s target bonus opportunity
and the criteria for earning such bonus, as well as Executive’s achievement of such criteria, and the amount of the Annual
Bonus earned and payable to Executive for such year. Any Annual Bonus that is earned and becomes payable pursuant to this Section
3(b) will be paid no later than March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year to which the Annual Bonus
relates. Executive’s Annual Bonus for calendar year 2019 shall be prorated on a weekly basis for his period of employment
in such year. Executive must remain employed by the Company through December 31 of the applicable calendar year to be eligible
to earn an Annual Bonus for such year; provided, however, that if the Employment Term ends prior to December 31 by reason of either
termination by Executive for Good Reason or by the Company’s At-Will Termination, the Annual Bonus for such partial calendar
year shall be prorated on a weekly basis for his period of employment in such year. The determinations of the Board (or a committee
thereof) with respect to the Annual Bonus will be final and binding unless there is direct evidence that the determination was
in violation of the terms and provision of this Section 3(b) or the applicable program, plan or arrangement.

 

    2

     

    

 

(c) Equity. During the Employment Term,
Executive will be eligible to receive awards of stock options pursuant to the same or substantially same stock option arrangement,
plan or program as in effect for other executive-level employees of the Company from time to time and based upon the same objective
standards as are applied to the other executive-level employees of Company. Consistent therewith, the Board (or a committee of
the Board, if applicable) will determine whether Executive will be granted any such equity awards and the terms of any such award
in accordance with the terms of the applicable program, plan or arrangement that may be in effect from time to time.

 

4. Employee Benefits. During the Employment
Term, Executive will be entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans and programs currently and hereafter maintained by
the Company of general applicability to other executive-level employees and to employees generally of the Company, subject to eligibility
requirements and the applicable terms and conditions of the subject plan or program and the determination of any committee uniformly
administering such plan or program. The Company reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans and programs it offers
to its employees at any time. In addition, the Company will cause Executive to be covered by a directors and officers liability
insurance policy in an amount and scope of coverage customary for the size and industry of the Company’s business (but in
no event less than $2,000,000) commencing on the date of this Agreement.

 

5. Vacation. During the Employment
Term, Executive will be entitled to paid vacation of not less than 20 days per calendar year, prorated for any partial calendar
year of employment, in accordance with the Company’s standard vacation policy (including, without limitation, its policy
on the maximum accrual, carry-over and payout), with the timing and duration of specific vacations mutually and reasonably agreed
to by Executive and the Company.

 

6. Expenses. During the Employment
Term, the Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable travel, lodging, meal, entertainment or other expenses incurred by Executive
in the furtherance of or in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, in accordance with the Company’s

in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures, commencing on the 60th day following the termination or expiration

Benefits”) (i) the date on which Executive is no longer entitled to COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s
group health insurance plan, (ii) the last day of the month that includes or immediately precedes the first day that Executive

his final Severance Pay payment; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in this Agreement
to the contrary, the Company may unilaterally amend this Section 7(c) or eliminate the benefit provided hereunder, upon written
notice to Executive, but only if and to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of excise taxes, penalties or similar charges

(a) Non-Competition. In recognition

    5

     

    

 

(c) Non-Disclosure and Non-Use of Confidential

for so long as such information remains a trade secret), Employee, Executive agrees that he will not, either directly or indirectly,
(i) divulge, use, disclose (in any way or in any manner, including by posting on the Internet), reproduce, distribute, or reverse
engineer or otherwise provide Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, reporter, author, producer or similar
person or entity; (ii) take any action that would make available Confidential Information to the general public in any form; (iii)

such pending disclosure and assist the Company (at the Company’s sole expense, which will be advanced to Executive whenever
reasonable to do so) in seeking a protective order or in objecting to such request, summons or subpoena with regard to the Confidential
Information. If the Company does not obtain such relief prior to the time that Executive is required to disclose such Confidential
Information, Executive may disclose that portion of the Confidential Information (A) which counsel to Executive advises Executive
that he is required to disclose or (B) which could subject Executive to be liable for contempt or suffer censure or penalty. In
such cases, Executive shall promptly provide the Company with a copy of the Confidential Information so disclosed. This provision
applies without limitation to unauthorized use of Confidential Information in any medium, including film, videotape, audiotape
and writings of any kind (including books, articles, emails, texts, blogs and websites).

 

(ii) Executive is hereby notified,
pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”), that an individual shall not be held

in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (B) solely
for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (C) where the disclosure of a trade secret is made
in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, Executive
is hereby notified under the DTSA that, if an individual files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected
violation of law, the individual may disclose a trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information in the
court proceeding if the individual (Y) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (Z) does not disclose the
trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

 

    6

     

    

 

(d) Inventions and Patents; Third Party
Information. The results and proceeds of Executive’s services to the Company (whether prior to or during the Employment Term),
including, without limitation, any works of authorship related to the Company resulting from Executive’s services during
Executive’s employment with the Company and any works in progress will be works-made-for-hire. The Company will be deemed
the sole owner throughout the universe of such works-made-for-hire and any and all rights of whatsoever nature therein, whether
or not now or hereafter known, existing, contemplated, recognized or developed, with the right to use the same in perpetuity in
any manner the Company determines in its sole discretion without any further payment to Executive whatsoever. If, for any reason,
any of such results and proceeds will not legally be a work-made-for-hire or there are any rights which do not accrue to the Company
under the preceding sentence, then Executive hereby irrevocably assigns and agrees to assign to the Company any and all of Executive’s
right, title and interest thereto, including, without limitation, any and all copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks and/or
other rights of whatsoever nature therein, whether or not now or hereafter known, existing, contemplated, recognized or developed.
The Company will have the right to use the same in perpetuity throughout the universe in any manner the Company determines without
any further payment to Executive whatsoever. Executive will, from time to time, as may be reasonably requested by the Company,
and at the Company’s sole expense, sign such documents and assist the Company to establish or document the Company’s
exclusive ownership of any and all rights in any such results and proceeds, including, without limitation, the execution of appropriate
copyright or patent applications or assignments. To the extent Executive has any rights in any such results and proceeds that cannot
be assigned in the manner described above, Executive unconditionally and irrevocably waives the right to enforce such unassignable
rights. This Section 9(d) is subject to, and will not be deemed to limit, restrict or constitute any waiver by the Company of,
any rights of ownership to which the Company may be entitled by operation of law by virtue of the Company being Executive’s
employer. This Agreement does not apply to an invention or other works of authorship for which no equipment, supplies, facility
or trade secret information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on Executive’s own time, and (i) which
does not relate (A) directly to the business of the Company or (B) to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research
or development, or (ii) which does not result from any work performed by Executive for the Company hereunder.

 

(e) Enforcement; Remedies. Executive
acknowledges that the covenants set forth in Sections 9(a), 9(b), 9(c) and 9(d) impose a reasonable restraint on Executive in light
of the business and activities of the Company and its Affiliates. Executive acknowledges that a breach of Sections 9(a), 9(b),
9(c) or 9(d) by Executive will cause serious and potentially irreparable harm to the Company and its Affiliates. Executive therefore
acknowledges that a breach of Sections 9(a), 9(b), 9(c) or 9(d) by Executive cannot be adequately compensated in an action for
damages at law, and equitable relief would be necessary to protect the Company and its Affiliates from a violation of this Agreement
and from the harm which this Agreement is intended to prevent. By reason thereof, Executive acknowledges that the Company is entitled,
in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, to preliminary and permanent injunctive and other
equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. Executive acknowledges, however, that
no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy may be construed as a waiver of or prohibition against
pursuing other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Executive. If Executive breaches this
Section 9, Executive shall pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Company in connection with enforcing
its rights under this Agreement.

 

    7

     

    

 

(f) Modification. In the event that
any provision or term of this Sections 9(a), 9(b), 9(c) or 9(d), or any word, phrase, clause, sentence or other portion thereof
(including, without limitation, the geographic and temporal restrictions and provisions contained in Sections 9(a) or 9(b)) is
held to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, such provision or portion thereof will be modified or deleted in such a manner
as to be effective for the maximum period of time, the maximum geographical area, and otherwise to the maximum extent as to which
it may be enforceable under applicable law. Such modified restriction(s) shall be enforced by a court having jurisdiction. In the
event that such modification is not possible, because each of Executive’s obligations in Sections 9(a), 9(b), 9(c) and 9(d)
is a separate and independent covenant, any unenforceable obligation shall be severed and all remaining obligations shall be enforceable.

except as provided below. Executive, by executing this Agreement, shall be deemed to have waived any claim against the Company
and its Affiliates with respect to any such tax, economic or legal consequences; provided, however, if any amount payable pursuant
to this Agreement is included in Executive’s gross income under Section 409A(a)(1)(A) of the Code, then (i) Executive shall
be responsible for the payment of the income taxes imposed on such payment and the amount of interest under Section 409A(a)(1)(B)(i)(I)
of the Code and (ii) the Company shall be responsible for the payment of the amount due under Section 409A(a)(1)(B)(i)(II) of the
Code within 30 days after such time as a final determination is made that such amount is due and payable by Executive (whether
by an agreed assessment, a decision upon administrative appeal, or a decision by a court having jurisdiction). The parties intend
that the payment under the preceding clause (ii) will comply with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-3(i)(1)(i), 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v)
and 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v).

 

    10

     

    

 

(c) Section 409A. The parties intend
that this Agreement and the payments and other benefits provided hereunder be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A to the
maximum extent possible, whether pursuant to the short-term deferral exception described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4),
the involuntary separation pay plan exception described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), or otherwise. To the
extent Section 409A is applicable to this Agreement and any such payments and benefits, the parties intend that this Agreement
and such payments and benefits comply with the deferral, payout and other limitations and restrictions imposed under Section 409A.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall be interpreted, operated and administered
in a manner consistent with such intentions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement to the contrary:

 

(i) if at the time Executive’s
employment hereunder terminates, Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(i)
and determined using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time, or if none, the default methodology,
then to the extent necessary to avoid subjecting Executive to the imposition of any additional tax under Section 409A, any and
all amounts payable under this Agreement on account of such termination of employment that would (but for this provision) be payable
within six (6) months following the date of termination, shall instead be paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month
following the date on which Executive’s employment terminates or, if earlier, upon Executive’s death;

 

(ii) a termination of employment shall
not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of amounts or benefits
upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service,” as defined
in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h) after giving effect to the presumptions contained therein, and, for purposes of any
such provision of this Agreement, references to “terminate,” “termination,” “termination of employment”
and like terms shall mean separation from service;

 

(iii) each payment made under this
Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be
treated as a right to a series of separate payments; and

 

(iv) with regard to any provision in
this Agreement that provides for reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits, except for any expense, reimbursement or in-kind
benefit provided pursuant to this Agreement that does not constitute a “deferral of compensation,” within the meaning
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b), (A) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation
or exchange for another benefit, (B) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during any
taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable
year, and (C) such payments shall be made no later than two and a half months after the end of the calendar year in which the expenses
were incurred.

 

    11

     

    

 

(d) Limitation on Payments Under Certain
Circumstances.

 

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Executive becomes entitled to receive or receives any payments, options, awards
or benefits (including, without limitation, the monetary value of any non-cash benefits and the accelerated vesting of stock awards)
under any agreement, arrangement, plan or program with the Company or any person affiliated with the Company (collectively, the
“Payments”), that may separately or in the aggregate constitute “parachute payments” within
the meaning of Code Section 280G and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 280G”)
and it is determined that, but for this Section 12(d)(i), any of the Payments will be subject to any excise tax pursuant to Code
Section 4999 or any similar or successor provision (the “Excise Tax”), the Company shall pay to Executive
either (i) the full amount of the Payments or (ii) an amount equal to the Payments reduced by the minimum amount necessary to prevent
any portion of the Payments from being an “excess parachute payment” (within the meaning of Section 280G) (the “Capped
Payments”), whichever of the foregoing amounts results in the receipt by Executive, on an after-tax basis (with consideration
of all taxes incurred in connection with the Payments, including the Excise Tax), of the greatest amount of Payments notwithstanding
that all or some portion of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax. For purposes of determining whether Executive would
receive a greater after-tax benefit from the Capped Payments than from receipt of the full amount of the Payments and for purposes
of Section 11(d)(iii) (if applicable), Executive shall be deemed to pay federal, state and local taxes at the highest marginal
rate of taxation for the applicable calendar year.

 

(ii) All computations and determinations
called for by Sections 11(d)(i) and 11(d)(iii) shall be made and reported in writing to the Company and Executive by a third-party
service provider selected by the Company and Executive (the “Tax Advisor”), and all such computations
and determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Executive. For purposes of such calculations and determinations,
the Tax Advisor may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Code Sections 280G and 4999. The
Company and Executive shall furnish to the Tax Advisor such information and documents as the Tax Advisor may reasonably request
in order to make their required calculations and determinations. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses charged by the Tax
Advisor in connection with its services.

 

(iii) In the event that Section 11(d)(i)
applies and a reduction is required to be applied to the Payments thereunder, the Payments shall be reduced by the Company in a
manner and order of priority that provides Executive with the largest net after-tax value; provided that payments of equal after-tax
present value shall be reduced in the reverse order of payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any such reduction
shall be structured in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A.

 

    12

     

    

 

12. Assignment. This Agreement and
Executive’s rights under this Agreement are personal to Executive and shall not be assignable by Executive. The Company may,
by written notice to Executive, assign this Agreement to any affiliated or successor to all or substantially all of the business
and assets the Company and then only so long as such affiliate or successor assumes and agrees, in such form and substance as is
reasonably satisfactory to Executive, to perform all of the Company’s duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities
hereunder, including without limitation upon the termination of the Employment Term; provided, however, the termination of Executive’s
employment hereunder by such affiliate or successor and the immediate hiring and continuation of Executive’s employment by
such affiliate or successor upon the identical terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a termination
of the Employment Term. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

13. Notices. All notices, requests,
demands and other communications called for hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed given (a) on the date of delivery if
delivered personally, (b) one (1) day after being sent by a reputable commercial overnight service, or (c) four (4) days after

      upon the consummation of the Merger, this First Supplemental Indenture and the Parent Guarantee, and certified copies of such resolutions will be delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this First Supplemental
      Indenture as required by the Base Indenture; and

  
    1

    
      

  

  

  

  WHEREAS, the Partnership has delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture
      the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel contemplated by Section 102 and 903 of the Base Indenture.

  

  

  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
      hereby acknowledged, the Partnership, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree, for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes, as follows:

  

  

  
    	 	
            1.

          	
            Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition
                shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Base Indenture.

          

  

  

  

  
    	 	
            2.

          	
            Addition of Parent Guarantee. Effective contemporaneously with the
                consummation of the Merger, the Parent Guarantor hereby guarantees the payment obligations of the Partnership under the Senior Notes and the Indenture on the terms set forth as Appendix A hereto.

          

  

  

  

  
    	 	
            3.

          	
            Effectiveness. This First Supplemental Indenture shall be effective
                upon its execution and delivery by the parties hereto.

          

  

  

  

  
    	 	
            4.

          	
            No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee, stockholder, partner, limited partner or other owner of the General Partner, the Partnership, the Parent Guarantor or any of their Affiliates or the Trustee,
                  as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Partnership under the terms of the Senior Notes or for any obligations of the Partnership, the Parent Guarantor or the Trustee under the Indenture, this First Supplemental
                  Indenture or the Parent Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Senior Notes, by accepting the benefits of the Indenture, waives and releases all such
                  liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issuance of the Parent Guarantee.

          

  

  

  

  
    	 	
            5.

          	
            Ratification of Indenture; First Supplemental Indenture Part of Indenture.
                The Base Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This First Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes,
                and every Holder of Securities heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby.

          

  

  

  

  
    	 	
            6.

          	
            Governing Law. This First Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by
                and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof that would result in the application of the law of a different state.

          

  

  

  

  
    	 	
            7.

          	
            Duplicate Originals; Counterparts. This First Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall
                  together constitute but one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this First Supplemental Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this
                First Supplemental Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original First Supplemental Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their

            Severability Clause. In case any provision in this First Supplemental
                Indenture or in the Parent Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

          

  

  

  

  
    	 	
            11.

  Parent Guarantee

  

  

  
    	 	
            1.

          	
            Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall
                have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture, dated as of November 30, 2016, between the Partnership, as issuer, and the Trustee, as trustee (the “Base Indenture”),
                as supplemented by (i) an Officers’ Certificate dated as of December 9, 2016, establishing the terms of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Partnership’s 4.375% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), (ii) an Officers’ Certificate dated as of March 29, 2018, establishing the terms of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Partnership’s 4.500% Senior Notes due 2028
                (together with the 2026 Notes, the “Senior Notes”) and (iii) the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 10, 2019 among the Partnership, as issuer, Valero
                Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as parent guarantor (the “Parent Guarantor”) and the Trustee, as trustee (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) (the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Officers’ Certificates establishing the terms of the Senior Notes and the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”).

          

  

  

  

  
    	 	
            2.

          	
            Parent Guarantee. With respect to the Senior Notes, Parent Guarantor
                unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the prompt payment, when due, of any amount owed to the Holders of the Senior Notes under the terms of such Senior Notes, the Indenture and any other Obligations.

          

  

  

  

  
    	 	
            3.

          	
            Nature of Parent Guarantee. The Parent Guarantor’s obligations
                hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstance relating to the Obligations that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Parent Guarantor. The Parent Guarantor agrees that the Trustee or the
                Holders of the Senior Notes may resort to the Parent Guarantor for payment of any of the applicable Obligations whether or not the Trustee or the Holders of the Senior Notes shall have first proceeded against the Partnership or any other
                obligor principally or secondarily obligated with respect to the Obligations. The Trustee and the Holders of the Senior Notes shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Obligations in the event that the Partnership becomes
                subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Trustee or the Holders of the Senior Notes to so file shall not affect the Parent Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. In the event that any payment to the
                Trustee, or the Holders of the Senior Notes in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Parent Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to such Obligations as if such
                payment had not been made.

          

  

  

  

  
    	 	
            4.

          	
            Changes in Obligations, and Agreements Relating thereto; Waiver of Certain
                    Notices. The Parent Guarantor agrees that the Partnership, the Trustee and the Holders of the Senior Notes may at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further
                consent of the Parent Guarantor, agree to extend the time of payment of, or renew all or any part of the Obligations, and the Partnership, the Trustee and the Holders of the Senior Notes may also make any agreement for the extension,
                renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between the Trustee or the Holders of the Senior Notes and the Partnership, without in any way
                impairing or affecting this Parent Guarantee. The Parent Guarantor waives notice of the acceptance of this Parent Guarantee and of the Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor and protest.

            5.

          	
            Expenses. The Parent Guarantor agrees to pay on demand all reasonable
                and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of one firm of counsel representing the Trustee or the Holders of the Senior Notes that is reasonably acceptable to the Parent Guarantor) in any way
                relating to the enforcement or protection of the rights of the Trustee or the Holders of the Senior Notes hereunder; provided, however, that the Parent Guarantor shall not be liable for any fees or expenses of the Trustee or the Holders of
                the Senior Notes if no payment under this Parent Guarantee is due.

          

  

  

  

  
    	 	
            6.

          	
            Subrogation. Upon payment of the Obligations to the Trustee or the
                Holders of the Senior Notes in full, the Parent Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Trustee and the Holders of the Senior Notes against the Partnership with respect to the Obligations, and the Trustee and the Holders of the
                Senior Notes agree to take, at the Parent Guarantor’s expense, such steps as the Parent Guarantor may reasonably request to implement such subrogation.

          

  

  

  

  
    	 	
            7.

          	
            No Waiver; Cumulative Rights. No failure on the part of the Trustee or
                the Holders of the Senior Notes to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Trustee or the Holders of the Senior Notes of
                any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise of any right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Trustee or the Holders of the Senior Notes or allowed it or them by law
                or in equity or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, remedy or power, and may be exercised by the Trustee or the Holders of the Senior Notes at any time or from time to time.

          

  

  

  

  
    	 	
            8.

          	
            Assignment. Nothing contained in this Parent Guarantee shall prevent
                any consolidation or merger of the Parent Guarantor with or into any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Parent Guarantor), or successive consolidations or mergers in which the Parent Guarantor or its successor shall be a party
                or parties, or shall prevent any conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets of the Parent Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Parent Guarantor) lawfully
                entitled to acquire the same; provided, however, that upon any such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Parent Guarantee to be
                performed by the Parent Guarantor shall be expressly assumed, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by the Person (if other than the Parent Guarantor) formed by such consolidation, or into
                which the Parent Guarantor shall have been merged, or by the Person which shall have acquired such properties and assets.

          

  

  

  

  
    	 	
            9.
