                                  Amendment to
                       Crude Oil Sale and Supply Agreement

This Amendment to the Crude Oil Sale and Supply Agreement entered into as of
September 13, 2002, by and between Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. ("MSCG")
and The Premcor Refining Group Inc. ("Premcor") (the "Agreement"), is made and
entered into on October 1, 2002 (hereinafter referred to as this "First
Amendment"). Capitalized terms and references used and not defined herein shall
have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, which is being
amended by this First Amendment.

WHEREAS, the MSCG and Premcor desire to amend the Agreement as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the respective promises,
conditions and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, MSCG
and Premcor do hereby agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE 1
                          DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION

     1.1 All headings herein are intended solely for convenience of reference
and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of the provisions of this
Amendment.

     1.2 Unless expressly provided otherwise, the word "including" as used
herein does not limit the preceding words or terms.

     1.3 Each reference in the Crude Oil Sale and Supply Agreement to "this
Agreement", "herein" or words of like import referring to such Agreement shall
mean and be a reference to the Crude Oil Sale and Supply Agreement, as amended
by this First Amendment.

                                   ARTICLE 2
                             AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT

     The Agreement is hereby amended, effective as of September 16, 2002, as
follows:

     2.1 A new Section 4.8 is added as follows:

          4.8 Initial Imbalances. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that
     the MSCG shall purchase from Koch exactly 2,659,386 Barrels of Line Fill
     Oil on October 1, 2002, of which 196,122 Barrels shall transfer from Koch
     to MSCG in line in the Mesa Pipeline System, 1,540,925 Barrels shall
     transfer from Koch to MSCG in line in the Mid-Valley Pipeline System, and
     922,339 Barrels shall transfer from Koch to MSCG in line in the West Texas
     Gulf Pipeline System. In the event that a Shipper Account Statement
     reflects that the volume of Line Fill Oil actually transferred to MSCG on
     October 1, 2002 and held on the Pipeline System's records in MSCG's name as
     of that date differs from the foregoing

<PAGE>

     volumes of Line Fill Oil, MSCG and Premcor shall true-up the difference. If
     the total volume of Line Fill Oil actually transferred from Koch to MSCG
     exceeds 2,659,386 Barrels, MSCG shall pay Premcor for the difference in
     volume, and if the total volume of Line Fill Oil actually transferred from
     Koch to MSCG is less than 2,659,386 Barrels, Premcor shall pay MSCG for the
     difference in volume, in either event at a price mutually determined
     between the Parties in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance
     with the terms of the Agreement.

     2.2 A new Section 7.5 is added as follows:

          7.5 Renewal of Premcor Letter of Credit. At all times under this
     Agreement, the Premcor Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date of
     not less than 15 days. No later than 15 days prior to expiry of the Premcor
     Letter of Credit, Premcor shall instruct the issuing bank to renew or
     extend such Letter of Credit. Premcor's failure to amend and extend the
     Premcor Letter of Credit no later than 15 days prior to the expiration
     thereof (such an event, a "Non-Renewal Event") shall (x) entitle MSCG to
     treat the full amount available for drawing under the Premcor Letter of
     Credit as the outstanding amount due MSCG and to draw immediately on such
     Letter of Credit in full without any prior notice or demand to Premcor and
     (y) constitute an Event of Default under Article 11 without any notice or
     grace period. Notwithstanding the foregoing and Section 2.1(c) of this
     Agreement:

          (a) in the event that MSCG makes a draw on the Premcor Letter of
     Credit as a result of a Non-Renewal Event and elects in such event, in its
     sole discretion, to hold the proceeds of such draw as cash collateral for
     Premcor's obligations under this Agreement and not exercise its remedies
     under Article 11, then (i) the Non-Renewal Event shall not be an Event of
     Default and (ii) Premcor shall not be obligated to increase the amount
     available to be drawn under the Premcor Letter of Credit to the extent of
     such cash collateral; and

          (b) in the event that MSCG makes a draw on the Premcor Letter of
     Credit other than as a result of an Event of Default or a Non-Renewal
     Event, then (i) MSCG shall hold the proceeds of such draw as cash
     collateral for Premcor's obligations under this Agreement, (ii) such draw
     shall not itself be deemed to be an Event of Default and (iii) Premcor
     shall not be obligated to increase the amount available to be drawn under
     the Premcor Letter of Credit to the extent of such cash collateral.

                                   ARTICLE 3
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     3.1 The Agreement is amended only as expressly modified by this First
Amendment. Except as expressly modified by this First Amendment, the terms of
the Agreement remain unchanged, and the Agreement is hereby ratified and
confirmed by the Parties in all respects. In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms of the Agreement and this First Amendment, this First
Amendment shall prevail to the extent of such inconsistency.

deemed to be deleted from this First Amendment and the remaining portions of

                                  Contributions

         2.1      Amount of Contributions; In General.

         For each month, beginning with the month in which falls the
Participant's effective date of participation, the Employer shall make a
contribution to the Account of the Participant equal to 10% of the participant's
Compensation for that month. The contribution for a month shall be credited to
the Participant's Account as of the last day of the calendar month for which it
is made. No contributions will be made for a Participant for the calendar month

in any subsequent calendar month.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                   Investment

         3.1      Purpose and Limits.

         Solely for purposes of measuring the Employer's obligation to pay
benefits hereunder, the Participant shall direct investment of his Account as
herein provided. However, although the Employer's obligation to pay benefits
will be determined on the basis of what each Participant's Account value would
be if actually invested as provided for in this Plan, the Employer has no legal
obligation whatsoever to make any particular investments, since it and not any
fund shall be liable for the payment of any benefits due under the Plan.

         3.2      Investment Elections.

         Each Participant's Account shall initially be invested among the Funds
in the ratio (in even multiples of 10%) as determined by the Board. A
Participant may on any date, by election filed with the Employer (or its
designee for this purpose) prior to such date, alter such election with respect
to the investment of his Account. Such revised election shall not affect future
contributions; future contributions shall be allocated among the Funds in the
ratio specified at the time he first became a Participant (or, if that ratio has
been changed by Participant election, the ratio most recently elected) until a
new rate is specified by the Participant by election filed with the Employer (or
its designee for this purpose) prior to the date upon which it is directed to
become effective.

         A Participant who is receiving the installment payments described in
Section 5.3 may continue to make such investment directions until distribution
is completed.

         3.3      Valuations.

         A Participant shall have a separate sub-account for each portion of his
Account invested in one of the separate investment Funds. As of each Valuation
Date, the value of each Participant's Account shall be determined. Such
valuation shall be accomplished by determining the value of each of the
Participant's sub-accounts as of such Valuation Date and aggregating such
subaccount values.

         3.4      Reports to Participants.

         The Employer shall provide annual reports to each Participant showing
(a) the value of the Account as of the most recent December 31 Valuation Date;
(b) the amount of contributions made by the Employer for the year ending on such
Valuation Date and (c) the amount of any interest, earnings or investment gain
or loss credited or debited to the Participant's Account.

                                     Vesting

         4.1      Full Vesting Dates.

         The Participant's interest in his Account shall become fully vested in
him at the earliest of the following dates:

         (a)      The date of the Participant's death while in the employ of the
                  Employer.

         (b)      The date of the Participant's disability while in the employ
                  of the Employer. "Disability" with respect to a Participant
                  means a mental or physical condition which renders him
                  totally, and presumably permanently, unable to continue in
                  employment with the Employer, as determined by the Board on
                  the basis of medical evidence satisfactory to the Board.

         (c)      The date upon which the Participant attains age 60 while in
                  the employ of the Employer.

         (d)      The date of Employer Approved Early Retirement, which shall be
                  the date of termination of employment in the case of an
                  individual who terminates employment at or after age 55 and
                  prior to age 60; provided, however, that the Board has
                  previously given its specific prior written consent that such
                  termination of employment shall be treated as an Employer
                  Approved Early Retirement for purposes of this Plan.

         (e)      The date of termination of the Plan at a time when the
                  Participant is employed by the Employer.

         4.2      Termination Prior to Vesting.

         A Participant who terminates employment prior to acquiring a fully
vested interest in his account under the provisions of Section 4.1 above shall
immediately forfeit the entire value of his Account.

                                  Distribution

         5.1      Commencement of Distribution.

         Distribution of the vested portion of a Participant's Account balance
shall be made or commenced to the Participant as soon as practicable after (but
in any event no more than 30 days after) the later of (i) his 60th birthday
(55th birthday for those who terminated employment after having met the
requirements of Section 4.1(d) or (ii) his termination of employment.

         5.2      Normal Form.

         The normal form of distribution shall be a lump distribution of the
entire value (determined as of the Valuation Date coincident with his
termination of employment) of the vested portion of the Participant's Account at
the time provided in Section 5.1.

         5.3      Installment Election.

         Notwithstanding the fact that the normal form of distribution is the
lump sum distribution described in Section 5.2 above, a Participant will be
permitted to elect to receive payment under the 5 year installment method;
provided, however, that such election must be made by the Participant no later
than six months prior to the date of the termination of his employment. Under
the 5 year installment method a payment (the "First Installment") of one-fifth
of the vested portion of the Participant's Account shall be made at the time
provided in Section 5.1. Thereafter, distributions will be as follows:

         Distribution Date                Amount to be Distributed

         On the first anniversary         One-fourth of the remaining
         of the First Installment,        vested portion of the Account balance.

         On the second anniversary        One-third of the remaining
         of the First Installment,        vested portion of the Account balance.

         On the third anniversary         One-half of the remaining
         of the First Installment,        vested portion of the Account balance.

         On the fourth anniversary        Entire remaining vested
         of the First Installment,        portion of the Account balance.

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

         The value of a Participant's Account for each of the final 4
installment payments shall be determined as of the Valuation Date immediately
preceding the date of payment. The first installment shall be based on the value
as of the date of termination of employment.

         5.4      Payment on Death.

         If a Participant who has terminated employment and is entitled to
payment of the vested portion of his Account balance dies before all payment
have been made under the selected method, any remaining payments (based on his
Account value on the date of death) shall be paid to the Beneficiary under the
lump sum method as soon as practicable (but in any event no more than 30 days
after his death).

         If a Participant dies before termination of employment, then his
account balance (based on his Account value on the date of death) shall be paid
to his Beneficiary under the lump sum method as soon as practicable (but in any
event no more than 30 days after his death).

         5.5      Accelerated Payment.

         Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, in the
event this Plan is terminated as described in Section 7.1 each Participant still
in the employ of the Employer at such time shall be deemed to be fully vested in
his Account balance (based on his Account values as of the Valuation Date
coinciding with the date of Plan termination) and each such Participant and each
previously terminated Participant with an undistributed vested Account balance
(or, if deceased, his Beneficiary) shall, within 30 days after the date of Plan
termination, be paid an immediate cash payment equal to his entire undistributed
vested Account balance (based on his Account values as of the Valuation Date
coinciding with the date of Plan termination) remaining to be paid under the
Plan. Such payment shall be in lieu of any and all payments otherwise due under
this Plan. Notwithstanding Section 7.1, this Section 5.5 cannot be amended in
any way which adversely affects the rights of Participants and Beneficiaries.

                                 Administration

         6.1      In General.

         The Board has such powers as may be necessary to direct the general
administration of the Plan, including the powers given to it elsewhere in this
document and including (but not by way of limitation) the following powers:

         (a)      to construe and interpret the Plan and to make equitable
                  adjustments for any mistakes or errors made in the
                  administration thereof;

         (b)      To prescribe such procedures, rules and regulations as it
                  shall deem necessary or proper for the efficient
                  administration of the Plan or any of its duties hereunder;

         (c)      to decide questions of eligibility and determine the amount,
                  manner and time of payment of any benefits and to direct the
                  payment of the same by the Employer;

         (d)      to prescribe the form and manner of application for any
                  benefits hereunder and forms to be used in the general
                  administration hereof;

         (e)      to receive from the Employer and Participants or their
                  Beneficiaries such information as shall be necessary for the
                  proper administration of the Plan;

         (f)      to designate, appoint or employ any other persons, as it deems
                  advisable, which person may be designated to carry out any
                  responsibilities within the scope of the Board's authority
                  (but not the power of amendment and termination described in
                  Section 7.1 nor the power to designate persons eligible as
                  Participants under Section 1.8).

         6.2      Board Discretion.

         The Board has full and complete discretionary authority to determine
eligibility for benefits, to construe the terms of the Plan and to decide any
matter presented through the claims review procedure. Any final determination by
the Board shall be binding on all parties and afforded the maximum deference
allowed by law. If challenged in court, such determination shall not be subject
to de novo review and shall not be overturned unless proven to be arbitrary and
capricious upon the evidence considered by the Board at the time of such
determination.

         6.3      Board Members Conflict of Interest.

         A member of the Board who is covered hereunder may not vote or decide
upon any matter relating solely to himself or vote in any case in which his
individual right to any benefit under the Plan is particularly involved nor may
a member of the Board who is covered hereunder vote to amend the Plan regarding
the timing of distributions or vote with respect to direct or indirect
termination of the Plan. Decisions shall be made by remaining Board members even
if there is no quorum under normal Board rules.

                                   ARTICLE VII

         7.1      Amendment and Termination.

         The Employer may prospectively amend or terminate this Plan effective
on the 1st day of any calendar month. No such amendment or termination shall be
valid until communicated in writing to each Plan Participant still in the employ
of the Employer (and in the case of a Plan termination each formerly employed
Plan Participant (or his Beneficiary if he is deceased) with an undistributed
vested Account balance). Unless necessary to conform to any present or future
federal or state law or regulation, amendment or termination may not result in a
Participant (or his Beneficiary) receiving a benefit hereunder smaller than that
which he had accrued hereunder on the day prior to the effective date of such
amendment or termination. Notwithstanding the first two sentences of this
Section, this Plan shall be deemed to have been terminated on the effective date
of an Employer amendment to the Plan to reduce the rate of contributions
described in Section 2.1 hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof
to the contrary, the Employer shall always have the right to prospectively amend
the investment Funds available under the Plan.

                                  Miscellaneous

         8.1      No Guarantee of Employment, etc.

         Neither the creation of the Plan nor anything contained herein shall be
construed as giving any Participant hereunder or other employees of the Employer
any right to remain in the employ of the Employer.

         8.2      Assignment Not Permitted.

         Payment of benefits hereunder to Participants (or Beneficiaries) shall
be made only to them and upon their personal receipts or endorsements and such
benefits shall not be assignable by them.

         8.3      No Trust Created.

         Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement, shall create or be construed to create a trust
of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Employer and any
Participant, his Beneficiary or any other person. Any funds which may be
invested or assets which may be acquired by the Employer relating to this
Agreement shall continue for all purposes to be a part of the general funds of
the Employer and no person other than the Employer shall by virtue of the
provisions of this Agreement have any interest in such funds. To the extent that
any person acquires a right to receive payment from the Employer under this
Agreement, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured
general creditor of the Employer.

         8.4      Controlling Law.

         To the extent not preempted by the laws of the United States of
America, the laws of the State of Wisconsin shall be the controlling state law
in all matters relating to the Plan and shall apply.

         8.5      Severability.

         If any provisions of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any
reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of
the Plan, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal and
invalid provisions had never been included herein.

         8.6      Limitations on Provisions.

         The provisions of the Plan and any benefits payable hereunder shall be
limited as described herein.

         8.7      Other Agreements.

         Nothing contained herein shall alter the terms of any other agreement
between the Employer and any Participant hereunder.

         8.8      Gender and Number.

         Masculine gender shall include the feminine, and the singular shall
include the plural, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

         8.9      Withholding.

         Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Employer shall withhold
from any amounts payable hereunder any taxes or other amounts required by any
governmental authority to be withheld.

         8.10     Facility of Payment.

         If, in the Employer's judgment, any person entitled to make an election
or to receive payment of a benefit is physically, mentally, or legally prevented
from so doing, the Employer may make such election or may authorize payment of
such benefit to any person who, or institution which, in the Employer's
judgment, is responsible for caring for the person entitled to the benefit. If
an amount becomes distributable to a minor or a person under legal disability,
the Employer may direct that such distribution may be made to such person
without the intervention of any legal guardian or conservator, to a relative of
such person for the benefit of such person or to the legal guardian or
conservator of such person. Any such distributions shall constitute a full
discharge with respect to the Employer, and the Employer shall not be required
to see to the application of any distribution so made.

         8.11     Identity of Payee.

         If at any time any doubt exists as to the identity of any person
entitled to payment of any benefit hereunder or as to the amount or time of any
such payment, such sum shall be held by the Employer or the Employer may pay
such sum into a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with any lawful
procedure in such case made and provided.

         8.12  Evidence Conclusive.

         The Employer, the Board and any person or persons involved in the
administration of the Plan shall be entitled to rely upon any certification,
statement, or representation made or evidence furnished by any person with
respect to his age or other facts required to be determined under any of the
provisions of the Plan, and shall not be liable on account of the payment of any
monies or the doing of any act or failure to act in reliance thereon. Any such
certification, statement, representation, or evidence, upon being duly made or
furnished, shall be conclusively binding upon the person furnishing it but not
upon the Employer, the Board or any other person involved in the administration
of the Plan. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent any of such
parties from contesting any such certification, statement, representation, or
evidence or to relieve any person from the duty of submitting satisfactory proof
of his age or such other fact.

         8.13  Claims Procedure.

         The Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary (a "Claimant") may
file a written request for benefits or claim with the Board under this Plan. In
the event of any dispute with respect to such a claim, the following claim
procedures shall apply:

         (1)      The Board, acting as the administrator under this Plan, shall
                  notify the Claimant within 90 days of receipt by the Employer
                  of a written claim of its allowance or denial, unless the
                  Claimant receives written notice from the Employer prior to
                  the end of the initial 90-day period indicating that special
                  circumstances require an extension of time (by not more than
                  90 days) for decision. A written notice of decision shall be
                  provided to the Claimant and if the claim is denied in whole
                  or in part, the notice shall contain the following
                  information: the specific reasons for the denial; specific
                  reference to pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the
                  denial is based; if applicable, a description of any
                  additional material information necessary to perfect the claim
                  and an explanation of why such material or information is
                  necessary; and an explanation of the claim review procedure.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>
         (2)   A Claimant is entitled to request a review of any denial of his
               claim by the Board. The request for review must be submitted in
               writing within 60 days of mailing of notice of the denial. Absent
               a request for review within the 60-day period, the claim will be
               deemed to be conclusively denied. The Claimant or the Claimant's
               representative shall be entitled to review all pertinent
               documents, and to submit issues and comments orally and in
               writing. The Board shall render a review decision in writing,
               within 60 days after receipt of a request for a review, provided
               that, in special circumstances (such as the necessity of holding
               a hearing) the Board may extend the time for decision by not more
               than 60 days upon written notice to the Claimant. The Claim shall
               receive written notice of the separate review decision of the
               Board, together with specific reasons for the decision and
               reference to the pertinent provisions of this Plan.

         8.14  Status of Plan Under ERISA.

         The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained by an Employer
primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group
of management or highly compensated employees, as described in Section 201(2),
Section 301(a)(3), Section 401(a)(1) and Section 4021(b)(6) of the Employees
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

         8.15  Name and Address Changes.

         Each Participant shall keep his name and address on file with the
Employer and shall promptly notify the Employer of any changes in his name or
address. All notices required or contemplated by this Plan shall be deemed to
have been given to a Participant if mailed with adequate postage prepaid thereon
addressed to him at his last address on file with the Employer. If any check in
payment of a benefit hereunder (which was mailed to the last address of the
payee as shown on the Employer's records) is returned unclaimed, further
payments shall be discontinued unless evidence is furnished that the recipient
is still alive.
