                             AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE
                               EL PASO CORPORATION
                    2001 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

        Pursuant to Section 16.1 of the El Paso Corporation 2001 Omnibus
Incentive Compensation Plan, effective as of January 29, 2001 (the "Plan"), the
Plan is hereby amended as follows, effective April 1, 2001:

        WHEREAS, the Company desires to clarify a provision of the Plan to
reflect the intent of the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee
relating to the amount of additional Restricted Stock that may be awarded to
Participants due to the risks of forfeiture, price fluctuation, and other
attendant risks associated with Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan pursuant
to Sections 11.5(a)(ii) or 11.5(b)(ii), or in lieu of receiving all or any
portion of cash awarded in accordance with Sections 11.5(a)(i) or 11.5(b)(i).

        NOW THEREFORE, Section 11.5(c) is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

        "(c) Because the Participant bears forfeiture, price fluctuation, and
        other attendant risks during the Restriction Period (as defined in
        Section 10.4) associated with the Restricted Stock awarded under this
        Plan, Participants shall be awarded an additional amount of Restricted
        Stock equal to the amount of Restricted Stock which a Participant is
        awarded pursuant to Sections 11.5(a)(ii) or 11.5(b)(ii), as applicable,
        or such other amount of Restricted Stock as determined by the Plan
        Administrator."

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this amendment to be duly
executed on this 1st day of April 2001.

                             AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE
                               EL PASO CORPORATION
                           SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS PLAN

      Pursuant to Section 6.7 of the El Paso Corporation Supplemental Benefits
Plan, Amended and Restated effective as of December 7, 2001 (the "Plan"), the
Plan is hereby amended as follows, effective November 7, 2002:

      Section 2.6 is deleted in its entirety.

      Section 5.2 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:

            "5.2 SUPPLEMENTAL RSP BENEFITS

                  Upon termination of employment of a Participant, the Company
            shall pay or cause to be paid to such Participant (or his or her
            Beneficiary in the case of his or her death) supplemental RSP
            benefits calculated as described below. The Company shall
            periodically determine the amount of any additional Employer
            matching contributions that would have been credited to a
            Participant's account under the RSP if his or her current election
            of Participant contributions had been given effect and no adjustment
            of such contributions had occurred due to:

                  (a) the maximum dollar limit under Code Section 415(c)(1)(A)
            on RSP annual additions,

                  (b) the maximum limit under Code Section 401(a)(17) on the
            compensation taken into account under the RSP,

                  (c) any further reductions in the compensation taken into
            account under the RSP as a result of any deferrals of compensation
            elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 125 or Section 401(k)
            of the Code or under the Deferred Compensation Plans.

                  From time to time, as determined by the Management Committee,
            the Company shall allocate amounts equal to such additional Employer
            matching contributions to a ledger account for the Participant as of
            the time or times that such amounts would have been contributed to
            the RSP if permitted thereunder.

                  Supplemental RSP benefits under this Section 5.2 shall be
            vested and nonforfeitable to the same extent that the related
            benefits under the RSP are vested and nonforfeitable."

<PAGE>

      Section 5.4(b) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:

            "(b) Supplemental RSP Benefit Payments. The payment of any
            supplemental RSP benefits pursuant to Section 5.2 owed to a
            Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) shall be made in a lump sum
            as soon as practicable after the Participant's termination of
            employment with the Employer and shall be in an amount equal to the
            Participant's ledger account balance at the time of such payment."

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this amendment to be duly
      executed on this 7th day of November, 2002.

                             AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE
                               EL PASO CORPORATION
                            SENIOR EXECUTIVE SURVIVOR
                                  BENEFIT PLAN

      Pursuant to Section 7.5 of the El Paso Corporation Senior Executive
Survivor Benefit Plan, Amended and Restated effective as of August 1, 1998, as
amended (the "Plan"), the Plan is hereby amended as follows, effective October
1, 2002:

      WHEREAS, the Company desires to clarify provisions of the Plan to reflect
the intent of the Committee relating to participation in the Plan pursuant to
Section 3.1 of the Plan and payment of a pre-retirement survivor's benefit
pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Plan.

      NOW THEREFORE, the following amendments shall be made to the Plan:

      Section 3.1 of the Plan is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:

      "3.1 PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN

            Executives of the Company and its subsidiaries who possess an
      employee classification of level F or higher will be eligible to
      participate in the Plan (the "Participants"). Generally, Participants will
      be the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, the Vice
      Chairman and the Senior Officers of the Company and certain of its
      operating subsidiaries reporting directly to them who have the principal
      responsibility for the management, direction and success of the Company as
      a whole or particular business unit thereof. However, the Administrator
      may, at his discretion and solely for purposes of determining eligibility
      to be a Participant, adjust an employee's level classification to ensure
      that level classifications are determined in a uniform manner among the
      Company and its subsidiaries. Any participant in the Burlington Resources
      Inc. Senior Executive Survivor Benefit Plan ("BRI Plan") on the day
      immediately preceding the effective date of this Plan, who is an employee
      of the Company, shall become a Participant of this Plan on the effective
      date and shall immediately cease participation in the BRI Plan."

      Section 4.1 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

      "4.1 PRE-RETIREMENT SURVIVOR'S BENEFIT

            If a Participant dies while employed by the Company or a subsidiary,
      the Company (either directly or through a third party) shall pay to the
      Participant's Beneficiary a monthly survivor benefit ("Survivor's
      Benefit") for 30 months. The monthly payment shall be calculated as
      follows:

<PAGE>

            (a)   the amount necessary to pay (i) two and one-half times the
                  Participant's Annual Salary less (ii) the amount of any
                  Cash-Out that the Participant previously received (as
                  described in Section 4.2), and less (iii) $50,000, which may
                  be paid as a group life insurance benefit;

            (b)   divided by thirty.

      In the alternative, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may
      provide that the Survivor's Benefit be paid in lump-sum.

            In the event the Survivor's Benefit is deemed taxable to the
      Participant's Beneficiary, the benefit will be increased to adjust for
      Federal income taxes at the highest applicable marginal rate for the year
      in which the lump-sum payment is made or the monthly payments begin. In
      the case of monthly payments, the Beneficiary shall be assumed to pay tax
      on the complete benefit in the year the monthly payments commence, rather
      than upon receipt of each monthly payment when such amounts are actually
      taxable. If the amount so calculated is zero or less, no payment shall be
      made to the Participant's Beneficiary under this Plan."

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this amendment to
      be duly executed on this 1st day of October 2002.
