    THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE CROWN CENTRAL
  PETROLEUM CORPORATION RETIREMENT PLAN, made on this
  29th day of June, 1995 BY CROWN CENTRAL PETROLEUM
  CORPORATION, a Maryland Corporation:
  
                                   WITNESSETH
                                   ----------
  
    WHEREAS, Crown Central Petroleum Corporation (the
  "Company") maintains the Crown Central Petroleum
  Retirement Plan, originally effective as of January
  1, 1950 and as subsequently amended and restated
  (the "Plan").  The Company has the power to amend
  the Plan and now wishes to do so.
  
    NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is amended as follows:
  
        I.                    Effective August 1,
        1995, Section 6.1 (d) (iv) is amended to read
        as follows:
  
    (iv)  From July 1, 1993 to July 21, 1995, the
  interest rate used to determine the present value of
  a Participant's Pension or the Actuarial Equivalent
  under this Section 6.1(d) shall be determined by
  using the "applicable interest rate" (as defined
  below), if the Participant's Pension does not exceed
  $25,000, and 120% of the "applicable interest rate"
  if the retirement benefit exceeds $25,000.  From July
  1, 1993 to June 30 1994, the "applicable interest
  rate" is the lesser of (A) the interest rate that
  would be used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty
  Corporation for purposes of determining the  present
  value of a lump sum distribution on Plan terminations
  as of the first day of the Plan Year in which the
  distribution occurs or (B) such interest rate as of
  the date of the distribution.  From June 30, 1994 to
  July 31, 1995, the "applicable interest rate" is the
  interest rate as of the first day of the Plan Year in
  which the distribution occurs that would be used by
  the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for purposes
  of determining the present value of a lump sum
  distribution on Plan terminations.  The interest rate
  for purposes of this Section shall be determined in
  accordance with Code section 411(a) (11).
  
    II.  Effective August 1, 1995, Section 6.1(d) is
  amended by adding a new paragraph (v) to read as
  follows:
  
    (v) From August, 1995, the present value of a
  Participant's Pension or the Actuarial Equivalent
  under this Section 6.1(d) shall be determined by
  using the "applicable mortality table" and the
  "applicable interest rate" (as defined below). The
  "applicable mortality table" means the table
  prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury under
  Code section 417 (e) (3) (A) as changed from time to
  time.  As of August 1, 1995, the "applicable
  mortality table" is the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality
  Table.  The "applicable interest rate" for any Plan
  Year is the annual rate of interest on 30-year
  Treasury securities as published by the Secretary of
  the Treasury for November of the immediately prior
  Plan Year.  The mortality table and the interest
  rate for purposes of this Section shall be
  determined in accordance with Code sections 411(a)
  (11) and 417 (e) (3).  Effective August 1, 1995, the
  provisions of this paragraph (v) shall apply to the
  determination of the present value of a
  Participant's Pension or Actuarial Equivalent for
  all Participants and former Participants with an
  Accrued Benefit under the Plan.
  
    III. Effective August 1, 1995, Section 6.1 is
  amended by adding a new subsection (f) to read as
  follows:
  
         (f)  This subsection (f) shall be effective
  only from August 1, 1995 until November 30, 1995 and
  only apply to former Participants ("Window
  Participants"):
  
         (i) who terminated employment on or before
  July 31, 1995, and
  
              (ii) for whom the present vale of their
  Pension or the Actuarial Equivalent of their Pension
  determined under subsection (d) (v) is $10,000 or
  less.
  
        From August 1, 1995 until November 30, 1995,
  any Window Participant may elect to receive an
  immediate distribution of his Pension.  All
  elections must be received by the Administrator by
  November 30, 1995 to be effective.  In addition to
  the forms of benefit otherwise available under this
  Section 6.1, a Window Participant may elect to
  receive the Actuarial Equivalent present value of
  his Pension paid in a single-sum payment.  Payment
  of Pensions to Window Participants who elect an
  immediate distribution shall commence as soon as
  possible.
  
    IV. In all respects not amended, the Plan is
  hereby ratified and confirmed.
                                        
                              *    *    *    *    *
                                        
    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this
  Amendment to be executed by its duly authorized
  officer and its corporate seal duly attested as of
  the day and year first above written.
