Ultramar Diamond Shamrock
Corporation, a Delaware corporation, pursuant to authority granted by its Board
of Directors, hereby adopts the following amendments to the Ultramar Corporation

May 1, 2000, subject to such further limitations and restrictions as are set
forth below. 

	1.		
The first sentence of Section 4.1(c) (defining “Average Annual
Compensation”) is amended and restated in its entirety, effective for any
person who remains employed by Ultramar Diamond Shamrock Corporation on the date
set forth above, as follows: 

	 	“Average
Annual Compensation” shall be determined in the same manner as under the Pension Plan
except as otherwise set forth herein, and provided that, Average Annual Compensation
shall also include an “average bonus” if (i) the Participant’s employment with a
Participating Employer is terminated for any reason other than Cause on or after the
first day of the month in which he attains age fifty-five (55) or (ii) the Participant
remains employed with the Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company) upon
the occurrence of a Change in Control.

	2. 		Clause
(i) of Section 4.1(m) (defining “SERP Interest Rate”), is amended and restated, in its
entirety, as follows: 

					(i)  		with
respect to the computation of the amount of a lump sum benefit upon a Change in Control
under Section 4.2(e), the interest rate issued by the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation for private sector lump sum payments, as such rate is in effect on the first
day of the calendar year that contains the date of the distribution. 

	3. 		Section
4.1(q) (defining “Trust”) is amended and restated in its entirety, as follows: 

	 	(q)
“Trust”shall mean the Ultramar Diamond Shamrock Corporation Benefits Trust between
the Company and Sterling National Bank and Trust Company of New York, as it may be
amended from time to time.

	4. 		The
first sentence of Section 4.2(b) is amended and restated, in its entirety, as follows: 

	 	A
Participant who retires from employment with a Participating Employer (other than on
account of a termination for Cause) on or after the first day of the month following his
attainment of age sixty-two (62) (with the determination of such Participant’s then age
calculated by taking into account any additional years considered added to such
Participant’s actual age pursuant to the terms of any separate agreement between the
Participant and the Company pertaining to such person’s participation in the SERP) and
who is entitled to a benefit under the Pension Plan shall be entitled to receive the
greater of the Supplemental Pension determined under Section 4.2(a) or this Section
4.2(b).

	5.		
The first sentence of clause (ii) of Section 4.2(e) is amended and restated, in
its entirety, effective for any person who remains employed by Ultramar Diamond
Shamrock Corporation on the date set forth above, as follows: 

	 	If
there is a Change in Control, each Participant who remains employed by the Company (or
any subsidiary or affiliate) on the Change in Control Date shall be (i) one hundred
percent (100%) vested in his Supplemental Pension and (ii) paid a single lump sum payment
in cash equal to the Actuarial Equivalent lump sum value of his Supplemental Pension,
determined as of the date of the Change in Control using the SERP Interest Rate and SERP
Mortality Table, in lieu of all other benefits under the SERP; provided that any
amendment of the SERP made within the six-month period ending on the effective date of
the Change in Control shall be ignored for purposes of computing the amount of the lump
sum payment under this clause (ii) to the extent that the application of such amendment
would cause the amount of the lump sum to be less than that computed without application
of such amendment.

	6. 		Section
4.4(a) is amended and restated, in its entirety, as follows: 

					(b)  		Any
benefit payable to a Participant or Spouse hereunder shall be paid by the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, such benefits shall instead be paid from the Trust, under
such circumstances (including a Change in Control) as are specified under the terms of
the Trust. To the extent that the Trust does not pay the benefits under the SERP to which
any Participant (or Spouse) is entitled, the Company remains responsible to do so.
Moreover, all assets of the Trust remain, at all times, subject to the claims of the
Company’s creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency, and no Participant (or any
Spouse thereof) shall, at any time, have a prior claim to any Trust assets.

	8.		
A new Section 15 is added, effective for any person who remains employed by
Ultramar Diamond Shamrock Corporation on the date set forth above, as follows: 

					15.  		Special
Change in Control Provisions.

							(a)  		The
provisions of this Section 15 shall apply with respect to each Participant in the group
listed in subsection (b) hereof (each, hereafter, a “Covered Participant”) who, except as
otherwise provided in this Section 15, remains employed by the Company (or any subsidiary
or affiliate of the Corporation) (collectively, “UDS”) upon the occurrence of a Change in
Control. The provisions of this Section 15 shall apply, notwithstanding any other
provision of the SERP to the contrary.  

							(b)  		The
Covered Participants, identified by social security number, are as follows: 

	 	###-##-####
###-##-####
###-##-####

							(c)  		For
purposes of this Section 15, the term “SERP Side Letter” means, with respect to any
Covered Participant, that separate agreement between such person and the Company
pertaining to such person’s participation in the SERP, as such agreement may be amended
from time to time. 

							(d)  		For
purposes of this Section 15, and with respect to any Covered Participant, the term
“Computation Period” means the calendar year in which there occurs a Change in Control,
as well as each of the two immediately succeeding years. 

							(e)  		For
purposes of the following subsection (f) of this Section 15, “Average Annual
Compensation” shall, with respect to any Covered Participant, and notwithstanding the
terms of such Covered Participant’s SERP Side Letter, be determined as if (i) such person
remains a UDS employee until the end of such person’s Computation Period, (ii) such
person’s compensation for each of the three years during such Computation Period and
otherwise taken into account, without regard to this subsection (e), in so determining
such person’s Average Annual Compensation (inclusive of amounts taken into account in
determining such person’s average bonus percentage) is equal to such person’s
compensation (otherwise so taken into account in determining Average Annual Compensation,
including the average bonus percentage) for the year immediately prior to the year in
which the Change in Control occurs.

							(f)  		Notwithstanding
any provisions of the SERP (or of any particular Covered Participant’s SERP Side Letter)
to the contrary, the amount of any lump sum otherwise payable to such person under the
SERP on account of being employed by UDS upon the occurrence of a Change in Control shall
be determined in the following steps, with the lump sum being the amount determined under
the following clause (ii): 

									(i)  		Determine
the amount of the annual SERP benefit which would otherwise be immediately payable to
such person, starting on the Change in Control Date, and determined as if such person
terminated employment on the Change in Control Date and with such person’s Average Annual
Compensation determined pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing subsection (e) of
this Section 15, and after taking into account the other provisions of the SERP, as well
as such person’s SERP Side Letter (other than any provision thereof relating to (A) the
conversion of such annual SERP benefit into a lump sum amount or (B) the determination of
such person’s Average Annual Compensation); provided, however, that in making such
determination, in the event that such person is under age sixty-two (62) on the Change in
Control Date, (A) the Pension Plan benefit and the Other Pension Benefits otherwise taken
into account in such determination shall be the amount of such respective benefits
otherwise payable to such person at age sixty-two (62), but with such benefit amounts
determined as if such person terminated employment on the Change in Control Date, and (B)
there shall be no reduction on account of early payment of the SERP benefit pursuant to
the provisions of Section 4.2(c) (or otherwise). 

									(ii)  		Determine
the immediate present value, based upon such Covered Participant’s actual age on the
Change in Control Date, of the annual benefit amount, calculated under the foregoing
clause (i), which would otherwise be paid to such person starting on the Change in
Control Date, with such present value being determined using the interest rate and
mortality table set forth in Section 4.1(m)(i) and Section 4.1(n)(i), respectively
(except to the extent that a larger lump sum would result from using the interest rate
and mortality table set forth in Section 4.1(m)(ii) and Section 4.1(n)(ii), respectively,
in which event the interest rate and mortality table set forth in Section 4.1(m)(ii) and
Section 4.1(n)(ii), respectively, shall instead apply).) 

	

	

Amendment to Ultramar Corporation
SERP
Page 5 of 8  

							(g)  		Attached
to the SERP, as Exhibit A, is a separate schedule for each Covered Participant
illustrating the manner, in accordance with the forgoing provisions of this Section 15
and the other provisions of the SERP (and the terms of such person’s SERP Side Letter, as
such agreement may be modified pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 15),
in which the lump sum payment to such person with respect to the SERP would, in the event
that such person remains employed by UDS upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, be
calculated for such person, assuming that (I) the Change in Control Date occurs on
December 31, 2000, (II) such lump sum distribution also occurs on that date and (III)
such person remains employed by UDS on that date. In the event of a Change in Control
occurring on December 31, 2000, the amount of the lump sum payable to any Covered
Participant who remains employed by UDS on such date shall (assuming such lump sum is
also paid on that same date) be the amount set forth with respect to such person in the
relevant attached schedule. In the event that a Change in Control Date occurs on some
other date, the methodology set out in such schedules shall be dispositive in resolving
any issues which may arise in connection with determining the amount of the lump sum
otherwise payable to any such Covered Participant who so remains employed by UDS upon the
occurrence of such other Change in Control Date. 

							(h)  		If
a Covered Participant who receives a lump sum distribution on account of being employed
by UDS on a Change in Control Date continues to be employed by UDS and thereafter becomes
entitled to a subsequent distribution with respect to the SERP, the amount of such
subsequent SERP benefit, expressed as an annual benefit, which annual benefit is the
starting point in determining the amount of such subsequent distribution, shall be equal
to the excess of: 

									(i)  		the
amount of the annual SERP benefit, otherwise payable at that time (or, at age sixty-two
(62), in the event that such person is then under age sixty-two (62), determined under
the SERP and after taking into account the provisions of such person’s SERP Side Letter,
over 

									(ii)  		the
amount of the annual SERP benefit which was taken into account under clause (i) of the
subsection (f) of this Section 15 as the starting point in determining the amount of such
prior lump sum distribution. 

	 	In
all other respects, the amount of any subsequent distribution shall be determined in
accordance with such rules of uniform application as may be established by the
Compensation Committee.

SERP

							(i)  		Notwithstanding
any other provision of the SERP (or of the Covered Participant’s SERP Side Letter) to the
contrary, in the event of such person’s “involuntary termination, other than for Cause”
(as those terms are defined under such person’s employment agreement with the Company),
in anticipation of a Change in Control: 

									(i)  		the
foregoing provisions of this Section 15, and all other provisions of the SERP (and of
such person’s SERP Side Letter) shall apply to such person to the same extent as if a
Change in Control had, solely with respect to such person, occurred on the date
immediately preceding the date on which such person is so terminated from employment, and  

									(ii)  		such
Participant’s benefit under the Pension Plan, for purposes of determining the offset
under Section 4.2(a), Section 4.2(b) and such person’s SERP Side Letter for such person’s
Pension Plan benefit, to the extent otherwise applicable, shall be computed by including
the additional years of age and service credit which were (or will be) taken into
account, pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.5(i)(a)(3) of such Participant’s
employment agreement with the Company, in computing the amount of the lump sum payment
made (or to be made) to such Participant in lieu of an actual increase in such
Participant’s benefit under the Pension Plan.  

							(j)  		If
that Covered Participant whose social security number is ###-##-#### remains employed
with UDS on the Change in Control Date, determined without regard to the foregoing
subsection (e), such person shall receive a lump sum payment of $500,000 upon the earlier
of: 

									(i)  		such
person’s “involuntary termination, other than for Cause,” as those terms are defined
under the employment agreement between such person and the Company; provided, however,
that an “involuntary termination” shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of
this clause (i) in the event that such person voluntarily terminates employment on
account of a significant reduction, occurring not later than the Change in Control Date,
in such person’s duties or the addition, occurring not later than the Change in Control
Date, of duties which, in either case, are materially inconsistent with such person’s
then title or position, such that no amount shall be paid pursuant to this subsection (j)
to such person; and further, provided, however, that an “involuntary termination” shall
be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this clause (i) in the event that such person
voluntarily terminates employment on account of a significant reduction, occurring
subsequent to the Change in Control Date, in such person’s duties or the addition,
occurring subsequent to the Change in Control Date, of duties which, in either case, are
materially inconsistent with such person’s title or position as in effect on the Change
in Control Date, such that an amount shall be paid pursuant to this subsection (j) to
such person, or

									(ii)  		twelve
months following the Change in Control Date, provided such person is still employed by
UDS on such date. 

	 	No
amount shall be payable pursuant to this subsection (j) in the event that such Covered
Participant terminates employment prior to the date set forth in the foregoing clause
(ii) for any reason not described in the foregoing clause (i).

	 	Any
amount otherwise payable pursuant to this subsection (j) to such Covered Participant (i)
shall not be reduced by any amounts previously paid to such person pursuant to any other
provision of the SERP and (ii) shall be disregarded in determining the amount of any
future benefits otherwise payable to such person pursuant to any other provision of the
SERP.

							(k)  		Notwithstanding
any other provision of the SERP to the contrary, to the extent that any subsequent
amendment to this Section 15 would adversely affect the determination of any particular
Covered Participant’s SERP benefit, such amendment shall be effective with respect to
such person only if such person consents, in writing, to the application of such
amendment, other than an amendment to subsection (h) of this Section 15, as to which the
consent of Covered Participants shall not be required.
