SECOND AMENDMENT TO

SCHERING-PLOUGH CORPORATION

RETIREMENT BENEFITS EQUALIZATION PLAN

     The Schering-Plough Corporation Retirement Benefits Equalization Plan, as amended and restated to February 24, 1998, as further amended as of November 1, 1998 (as so amended, the "BEP") is hereby
amended effective as of October 1, 2000 as follows:

1.  SECTION II. Administration of the Plan, is hereby amended by adding at the end of Section II the following language:

     "Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 4 of Section VI, the Committee may delegate in writing part or all of its authority under this Plan to such party or parties as it may deem necessary or
appropriate."

2.  SECTION IV. Compensation and Benefit Limitations, is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following language:

     "For purposes of this Plan and the Retirement Plan, the limitations on eligible compensation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code shall be deemed to be reached when a participant's eligible compensation
under the Retirement Plan, commencing January 1, 2000, exceeds $170,000 or such other amount as the Secretary of the Treasury shall pronounce. The limitations imposed by Section 415 of the Code shall be deemed to be reached when the benefits otherwise
payable to the participant in the Retirement Plan for a given plan year would exceed the maximum allowable under the Code."

3.  SECTION V.2, Equalized Benefits, is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following language:

     "Notwithstanding Section V.1 of this Plan, a participant or former participant may elect (the "Participant's Lump Sum Election") to receive payment of the actuarial equivalent of the aggregate of his
benefits under this Plan and any survivor's benefit payable to his surviving spouse under this Plan in a lump sum (X) in cash on his Early Retirement Date, Normal Retirement Date, Deferred or Postponed Retirement Date, or Change of Control Termination
Date, or, if such participant is or such former participant was categorized as an E-grade employee of Schering-Plough Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, the first day of any month thereafter not later than the first day of the month coincident with
or next following the second anniversary of such Early Retirement Date, Normal Retirement Date, Deferred or Postponed Retirement Date, or Change of Control Termination Date, as the case may be, or on the fifth, tenth, fifteenth or twentieth anniversary of
his Early Retirement Date, Normal Retirement Date, Deferred or Postponed Retirement Date, or Change of Control Termination Date, as the case may be, or (Y) in two, three, four, five, ten, fifteen, or twenty equal annual cash installments commencing on his
Early Retirement Date, Normal Retirement Date, Deferred or Postponed Retirement Date, or Change of Control Termination Date, or the first day of any month thereafter not later than the first day of the month coincident with or next following the second
anniversary of such Early Retirement Date, Normal Retirement Date, Deferred or Postponed Retirement Date, or Change of Control Termination Date, as the case may be. If a participant or a former participant terminates his employment by retirement or
following a Change of Control and dies with a Participant's Lump Sum Election in effect but prior to the payment of the full amount of such lump sum or annual installments, payment of the unpaid amount thereof shall be made to his surviving spouse,
designated beneficiary or estate in accordance with such Election. Payment made in accordance with either of the two preceding sentences to the participant or former participant, his surviving spouse, designated beneficiary or estate shall constitute full
and complete satisfaction of the obligation of Schering Corporation (the "Company") or any affiliate in respect of the benefits of such participant or former participant and any survivor's benefit of his surviving spouse. If a participant or former
participant dies before retirement, the Company shall have no obligation in respect of his benefits under this Plan and shall be obligated to pay any survivor's benefit, if, but only if, his spouse shall survive him. If the participant or former
participant does not make the Participant's Lump Sum Election, he may nevertheless elect (the "Survivor's Lump Sum Election") that if he should die prior to termination of employment, his surviving spouse shall receive the actuarial equivalent of her
survivor's benefit, if any, in a lump sum (X) in cash on the Optional Survivor's Benefit Payment Date (as defined in Section V.3) or, if such participant is or such former participant was categorized as an E-grade employee of Schering-Plough Corporation
or any of its subsidiaries, the first day of any month thereafter not later than the first day of the month coincident with or next following the second anniversary of the Optional Survivor's Benefit Payment Date or on the fifth, tenth, fifteenth, or
twentieth anniversary of the Optional Survivor's Benefit Payment Date, or (Y) in two, three, four, five, ten, fifteen or twenty equal annual cash installments commencing on the Optional Survivor's Benefit Payment Date or the first day of any month
thereafter not later than the first day of the month coincident with or next following the second anniversary of the Optional Survivor's Benefit Payment Date. A participant or a former participant may make any election pursuant to this Section V.2, or may
modify or rescind such an election previously made: (a), in the case of an election of a form of benefit other than a lump sum or annual installments pursuant to a Participant's Lump Sum Election or a Survivor's Lump Sum Election, at any time prior to the
participant's or former participant's retirement or Change of Control Termination Date, except that in the case of a participant or former participant whose employment is terminated other than by retirement or following a Change of Control, such election,
modification or rescission must be made at least 90 days prior to his Normal Retirement Date; (b), in the case of a Participant's Lump Sum Election by a participant or a former participant whose retirement occurs on or after October 1, 1994, and on or
before July 1, 1995, at least 30 days prior to the date of his retirement; (c), in the case of a Participant's Lump Sum Election by a participant or a former participant who is not covered by clause (b) of this sentence, not later than the end of the
calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the termination of his employment occurs and at least six months prior to such termination of employment; and (d), in the case of a Survivor's Lump Sum Election by a participant or former participant, at
least six months prior to his death; provided, however, that in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in Section V.3), a participant or former participant may make a Participant's Lump Sum Election or a Survivor's Lump Sum Election, or modify or rescind such an Election
previously made, within a period of 60 days following such Change of Control but in no event later than 30 days prior to the date of the termination of his employment. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, after September 1, 2000, a
participant or former participant who has made a Participant's Lump Sum Election may, at any time following his termination of employment (or the surviving spouse of a participant or former participant who has made a Survivor's Lump Sum Election may, at
any time after the participant's or former participant's death), make an irrevocable election (an "Early Distribution Election") to receive an early distribution of all or part of his benefits under this Plan in a single lump sum cash payment as soon as
practicable; provided that the amount actually distributed shall be the elected amount less a penalty of 10% of the elected amount and such penalty amount shall be irrevocably forfeited, and the amount elected shall be deemed fully distributed. Any
election pursuant to this Section V.2, or any modification or rescission of a previous election, shall be made in writing and filed with the Committee before the applicable limitation of time specified in this Section V.2, and any election purported to be
filed after the applicable limitation of time shall be void. Unless otherwise specified in the written form of election, the actuarial equivalent of the benefits payable to a participant or a former participant who has made a Participant's Lump Sum
Election, and the actuarial equivalent of any survivor's benefit payable to his surviving spouse pursuant to a Survivor's Lump Sum Election, shall be paid in five equal annual installments commencing on his Early Retirement Date, Normal Retirement Date,
Deferred or Postponed Retirement Date, Change of Control Termination Date, or the first day of the month coincident with or next following his death, as the case may be, with interest payable at the three-month U.S. Treasury bill rate as reported in The
Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the calendar quarter. If benefits under this Plan are payable to a participant or former participant in a different form than his retirement benefits under the Retirement Plan, or if benefits under this
Plan are payable to a participant or former participant prior to his retirement benefits under the Retirement Plan, the amount of the offset provided in this Plan for such participant's or former participant's benefit under the Retirement Plan shall be
actuarially converted into the form of benefit payable under this Plan but solely for purposes of calculating the amount of such offset. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, a lump sum payment shall be made in lieu of any
installments if the actuarial equivalent of the aggregate of his benefits under this Plan and any Survivor's Benefit payable to his surviving spouse under this Plan is less than or equal to $5,000 or such other amount as may be established by the
Committee from time to time. The amount of any lump sum payment shall be equal to the actuarial present value of the benefits payable under this Plan to a participant, former participant or surviving spouse (less the amount of any benefits previously paid
to the participant, former participant or surviving spouse (including the amount of the 10% penalty) in the case of an Early Distribution Election made after commencement of payment of any benefits under this Plan), calculated as of the Early Retirement
Date, Normal Retirement Date, Deferred or Postponed Retirement Date, Change of Control Termination Date, or date of death of the participant or former participant, as the case may be, by utilizing (a) the interest rate determined as of such Retirement
Date, Change of Control Termination Date, or date of death under the regulations of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for determining the present value of a lump sum distribution on plan termination that were in effect on September 1, 1993, and (b)
the other applicable actuarial assumptions in use as of such Retirement Date, Change of Control Termination Date, or date of death under the Retirement Plan. The amount of any annual installment shall be calculated by converting the benefits payable under
this Plan to a participant, former participant or surviving spouse, as the case may be, into a lump sum amount in accordance with the preceding sentence and by dividing such amount by the number of installments elected or deemed to have been elected by
the participant or former participant. The amount of any lump sum or annual installment of the benefit of any participant or former participant that is not paid within fifteen days after the date of his retirement or Change of Control Termination Date, as
the case may be, and the amount of any lump sum or annual installment of any survivor's benefit of his surviving spouse that is not paid within fifteen days after the Optional Survivor's Benefit Payment Date, shall bear interest from such fifteenth day
after the date of retirement, Change of Control Termination Date, or the Optional Survivor's Benefit Payment Date, as the case may be, to but excluding the date of payment of such amount, at the Deferral Rate (as defined in Section V.3), compounded
semi-annually. Interest on any such amount shall be paid on the date such amount is paid or, at the election of the participant or former participant, as the case may be, such interest shall be paid currently on a semiannual basis (with such election to
be made on or before the last date on which a Participant's Lump Sum Election or Survivor's Lump Sum Election, as applicable, may be made). If the benefits under this Plan are to continue after a participant's or former participant's death for the benefit
of his spouse or a designated beneficiary, then such participant or former participant shall have the right at any time to change the recipient of the survivorship benefit payable under this Plan; provided, however, that any such change, if made after the
applicable deadline set forth in the Retirement Plan, shall not affect the amount of the benefit payable under this Plan as originally calculated or the term for which such benefit is payable, also as originally calculated. The Committee may, in its sole
discretion, defer the payment of any lump sum or initial annual installment (other than a payment pursuant to an Early Distribution Election) to a participant or a former participant who is a "covered employee" as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if such payment would be subject to such Section's limitation on deductibility; provided, however, that such payment shall not be deferred to a date later than the earliest date in the year in which such payment would not
be subject to such limitation; and further provided that the Company shall, at the time of payment of any amount so deferred, pay interest thereon from the due date thereof at the Deferral Rate, compounded semi-annually."

3.  SECTION VI.5 Miscellaneous, is hereby amended by adding at the beginning thereof the following language:

     "The Plan is intended to constitute a nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement maintained for a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of Title I of ERISA."

4.  SECTION VI, Miscellaneous is hereby further amended by deleting paragraph 6 in its entirety and adding new paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 as follows:

     6.  The Company may withhold from any payment required to be made under the Plan any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment and such sums as the
Company may reasonably estimate are necessary to cover any other amounts for which the Company may be legally liable and which may be assessed with regard to such payment.

     7.  The masculine pronoun shall mean the feminine wherever appropriate.

     8.  The Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced under ERISA and the laws of the State of New Jersey, except where ERISA controls."

5.  Except as specified above, the BEP is hereby ratified and confirmed without amendment.SEVENTH BONDS RENEWAL AND EXTENSION AGREEMENT

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Maker and Payee hereby agree as
follows:

1.     The Maker reaffirms its promise to pay to the order of the Payee, at 2600
Citadel  Plaza  Drive,  Suite  300,  Houston,  Harris  County,  Texas 77008, the
principal  balance due and owing on the Bonds, with interest accrued thereon, as
provided  in  the  Bonds,  except  that the maturity date of the Bonds is hereby
renewed  and  extended  to December 28, 2001, at which time the unpaid principal
balance of the Bonds, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due
and  payable.

     All  liens,  pledges,  and  security  interests securing the payment of the
Bonds,  including, but not limited to, the liens, pledges and security interests
granted  in  the  Trust  Indenture  and the Negative Pledge, are hereby renewed,
extended  and carried forward to secure payment of the Bonds, as hereby amended,
and  the  Security  Instruments  are hereby amended to reflect that the maturity
date  of  the  Bonds  is  December  28,  2001.

     2.     Maker  hereby represents and warrants to Payee that (a) Maker is the
sole  legal and beneficial owner of the Trust Estate (as that term is defined in
the  Trust  Indenture);  (b)  Maker has the full power and authority to make the
agreements  contained in this Seventh Renewal without joinder and consent of any
other  party;  and  (c)  the execution, delivery and performance of this Seventh
Renewal  will  not  contravene or constitute an event which itself or which with
the passing of time or giving of notice or both would constitute a default under
any  trust  deed, deed of trust, loan agreement, indenture or other agreement to
which Maker is a party or by which Maker or any of its property is bound.  Maker
hereby  agrees  to  indemnify  and  hold harmless Payee against any loss, claim,
damage,  liability  or  expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees)
incurred  as  a  result  of any representation or warranty made by Maker in this
Section  2  proving  to  be  untrue  in  any  material  respect.

     3.     To the extent that the Bonds are inconsistent with the terms of this
Seventh  Renewal, the Bonds are hereby modified and amended to conform with this
Seventh  Renewal.  Except  as  modified,  renewed  and  extended by this Seventh
Renewal,  the Bonds remain unchanged and continue unabated and in full force and
effect  as  the  valid  and  binding  obligation  of  the  Maker.

     4.     In  conjunction  with the extension and renewal of the Bonds and the
Security  Instruments,  Maker  hereby extends and renews the liens, pledges, and
security  interests as created and granted in the Security Instruments until the
indebtedness  secured  thereby, as so extended and renewed, has been fully paid,
and agrees that such extension and renewal shall, in no manner, affect or impair
the  Bonds or the liens, pledges, and security interests securing same, and that
said  liens,  pledges, and security interests shall not in any manner be waived.
The  purpose  of this Seventh Renewal is simply to extend the time of payment of
the  obligation  evidenced  by  the  Bonds  and  any indebtedness secured by the
Security  Instruments, as modified by this Seventh Renewal, and to carry forward
all  liens,  pledges,  and  security  interests  securing  the  same,  which are
acknowledged  by  Maker  to  be  valid  and  subsisting.

5.     Maker  covenants  and warrants that the Payee is not in default under the
Bonds  or  the  Security  Instruments,  or  this  Seventh  Renewal (collectively
referred  to  as  the  "Loan  Instruments"),  that  there  are  no  defenses,
counterclaims  or  offsets  to  such  Loan  Instruments;  and  that  all  of the
provisions  of  the  Loan  Instruments, as amended hereby, are in full force and
effect.

     6.     Maker  agrees  to  pay  all  costs  incurred  in connection with the
execution  and  consummation  of this Seventh Renewal, including but not limited
to, all recording costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of Payee's counsel.

     7.     If any covenant, condition, or provision herein contained is held to
be  invalid  by  final  judgment  of  any  court  of competent jurisdiction, the
invalidity of such covenant, condition, or provision shall not in any way affect
any  other  covenant,  condition,  or  provision  herein  contained.

     8.     Payee  is  the  sole  owner and holder of the Bonds. Maker and Payee
acknowledge  and agree that the outstanding principal balance of the Bonds as of
December  28,  2000  is  $3,150,000.00.

     9.     Payee  is  an  unincorporated  trust  organized under the Texas Real
Estate  Investment  Trust  Act. Neither the shareholders of Payee, nor its Trust
Managers, officers, employees, or other agents shall be personally, corporately,
or  individually  liable, in any manner whatsoever, for any debt, act, omission,
or  obligation  of  Payee,  and all persons having claims of any kind whatsoever
against  Payee shall look solely to the property of Payee for the enforcement of
their  rights  (whether  monetary  or  non-monetary)  against  Payee.

     EXECUTED  this  day  and  year  first  above written, but effective for all
purposes  as  of  December  28,  2000.
