AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of June 22, 2016, by and among HPT PSC PROPERTIES TRUST, a Maryland real estate investment trust, and HPT PSC PROPERTIES LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (collectively, “Landlord”), and TA OPERATING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H :

 

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant (as successor by merger with Petro Stopping Centers, L.P.) are parties to that certain Lease Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2007, as amended (as so amended, the “Lease”);

 

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant wish to amend the Lease to extend the Fixed Term (this and other capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given such terms in the Lease) and in certain other respects; and

 

WHEREAS, Guarantor is executing this Amendment to confirm the continuation of the Guaranty;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the mutual receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree, as of the date of this Amendment, as follows:

 

1.                                      Fixed Term.  Section 2.3 of the Lease is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

2.3                               Fixed Term.  The initial term of this Agreement (the “Fixed Term”) shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall expire on June 30, 2032.

 

2.                                      Right to Repool Properties.  A new Section 2.5 is added to the Lease immediately after Section 2.4 as follows:

 

2.5                               Right to Repool Properties.  Landlord shall have the right from time to time in connection with a financing or other capital raising transaction to terminate the Term of this Agreement with respect to one or more Properties and contemporaneously to lease such Properties back to Tenant or an Affiliated Person as to Tenant under one or more of the other leases between any Affiliated Person as to Landlord and any Affiliated Person as to Tenant and/or one or more new lease(s) as determined by Landlord (a “repooling”), provided that Landlord shall have obtained Tenant’s prior written consent to any such repooling, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Each party agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as the other party may reasonably request in connection with any such new lease or repooling, including, without limitation, a new lease, a lease amendment, and a new guaranty from

 

 

Guarantor or confirmation from Guarantor that its existing Guaranty applies to any such new lease or lease amendment.

 

3.                                      Right of First Refusal.  A new Section 2.6 is added to the Lease immediately after the new Section 2.5 as follows:

 

2.6                               Right of First Refusal.

 

(a)                                 At no time during the term of this Agreement may Tenant or any Affiliated Person as to Tenant (including, without limitation, TA or any Affiliated Person as to TA), directly or indirectly, purchase, lease, mortgage or otherwise finance (including through a sale and leaseback transaction), or participate in the purchase, lease, mortgage or financing of, any Travel Center, or any property intended to be used as a Travel Center that is operated or proposed to be operated as a “Petro” or “Petro Stopping Center” or otherwise under the “Petro” brand, in the United States or Canada, without first having (i) provided written notice of such proposed transaction to Landlord, describing such proposed transaction in sufficient detail (including pricing and all other material terms) and offering Landlord the right to purchase, lease, mortgage or finance such Travel Center or property and (ii) negotiated in good faith with Landlord.  If, after ten (10) Business Days, Landlord and Tenant (or any applicable Affiliated Person as to Tenant) have not reached agreement on the terms of such purchase, lease, mortgage or financing, Tenant (or such Affiliated Person as to Tenant) will be free to purchase, lease, mortgage or finance such Travel Center or property itself or with others, free of the restrictions of this Section 2.6.

 

Tenant agrees that irreparable damage would occur if its obligations under this Section 2.6 were not performed in accordance with their terms and that Landlord’s remedy at law for Tenant’s breach of its obligations under this Section 2.6 would be inadequate.  Upon any such breach, Landlord shall be entitled (in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have at law) to seek an injunction enjoining and restraining Tenant and/or such Affiliated Person as to Tenant from continuing such breach.  Tenant agrees that the period of restriction and the geographical area of restriction imposed upon Tenant are fair and reasonable.  If the provisions of this Section 2.6 relating to the period or the area of restriction are determined to exceed the maximum period or areas which a court having jurisdiction over the matter would deem enforceable, such period or area shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be the maximum period or area which such court determines valid and enforceable.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.6(b) shall limit Landlord from pursuing any other rights or remedies available to it for any breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under Section 2.6 (including, without limitation, any of the rights or remedies contemplated by Article 12 of this Agreement).

 

4.                                      Deferral Agreement.  Reference is made to that certain Deferral Agreement, dated as of August 11, 2008, among Landlord and Tenant, among others, as amended (as so amended, the “Deferral Agreement”).  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Amendment

 

2

 

shall affect any of the terms or provisions of the Deferral Agreement or extend the date required for payment of any Deferred Rent (as defined in the Deferral Agreement), such that all such Deferred Rent payable in respect of the Deferral Agreement shall remain due and payable on June 30, 2024.

 

5.                                      Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

6.                                      Ratification.  As amended hereby, the Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed.
