VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION, PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As used in this report, the terms “Valero,” “we,” “us,” or “our” may refer to Valero Energy Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Valero and subsidiaries in which Valero has a controlling interest. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in significant non-controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 included in these Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements is derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. As discussed in Note 3, the assets and liabilities related to the Lima Refinery as of December 31, 2006 have been reclassified as held for sale, and the results of operations of the Lima Refinery have been presented as discontinued operations in the statements of income for all periods presented.
On December 22, 2006, we sold our remaining ownership interest in NuStar GP Holdings, LLC (formerly Valero GP Holdings, LLC), which indirectly owns the general partner interest, the incentive distribution rights, and a 21.4% limited partner interest in NuStar Energy L.P. (formerly Valero L.P.). As a result, our consolidated statements of income reflect no equity in earnings of NuStar Energy L.P. subsequent to December 21, 2006.
Reclassifications
Previously reported amounts have been reclassified to present the operations of the Lima Refinery as discontinued operations as discussed above. In addition, operating revenues, cost of sales, and retail selling expenses reported in our consolidated statements of income for 2006 have been reclassified for certain credit card transactions. Commencing January 1, 2007, fees received from our distributors and dealers associated with certain credit card transactions processed on behalf of those distributors and dealers are being netted against third-party processing costs incurred on such transactions to better reflect the nature of the credit card transactions. These credit card reclassifications increased (decreased) amounts previously reported in 2006 as follows (in millions):

2. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
FASB Statement No. 155
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,” which amends Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” This statement improves the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments and simplifies the accounting for these instruments. In particular, Statement No. 155 (i) permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, (ii) clarifies which interest-only and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement No. 133, (iii) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, (iv) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and (v) amends Statement No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. The adoption of Statement No. 155 on January 1, 2007 has not affected our financial position or results of operations.
FASB Statement No. 156
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” which amends Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” Statement No. 156 requires the initial recognition at fair value of a servicing asset or servicing liability when an obligation to service a financial asset is undertaken by entering into a servicing contract. The adoption of Statement No. 156 on January 1, 2007 has not affected our financial position or results of operations.
FASB Interpretation No. 48
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. If a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, then an enterprise is required to recognize in its financial statements the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 did not materially affect our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB ratified its consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” (EITF No. 06-3). The scope of EITF No. 06-3 includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is imposed concurrent with or subsequent to a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer. For taxes within the scope of this issue that are significant in amount, the consensus requires the following disclosures: (i) the accounting policy elected for these taxes and (ii) the amount of the taxes reflected gross in the income statement on an interim and annual basis for all periods presented. The disclosure of those taxes can be provided on an aggregate basis. We adopted the consensus on January 1, 2007. We present excise taxes on sales by our U.S. retail system on a gross basis with supplemental information regarding the amount of such taxes included in revenues provided in a footnote on the face of the income statement. All other excise taxes are presented on a net basis in the income statement.
FASB Statement No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” Statement No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measures. Statement No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption encouraged. The provisions of Statement No. 157 are to be applied on a prospective basis, with the exception of certain financial instruments for which retrospective application is required. The adoption of Statement No. 157 is not expected to materially affect our financial position or results of operations.
FASB Statement No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” Statement No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Statement No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of Statement No. 157. We do not expect the adoption of Statement No. 159 to have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.
3. DISPOSITION OF LIMA REFINERY
On May 2, 2007, we entered into an agreement to sell our refinery in Lima, Ohio to Husky Refining Company (Husky), a wholly owned subsidiary of Husky Energy Inc. As a result, the assets and liabilities related to the Lima Refinery as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 have been presented in the consolidated balance sheets as “assets held for sale” and “liabilities related to assets held for sale,” respectively. In addition, the consolidated statements of income reflect the operations related to the Lima Refinery in “income from discontinued operations, net of income tax expense” for all periods presented.

On July 3, 2007, we consummated the sale of our Lima Refinery to Husky with an effective date of July 1, 2007. Proceeds from the sale were $1.9 billion, plus $540 million representing a preliminary working capital settlement. The working capital settlement is expected to be finalized within 90 days after the effective date of the sale. In connection with the sale, we entered into a transition services agreement with Husky under which we agreed to provide certain accounting and administrative services to Husky beginning July 3, 2007, with the services terminating by July 31, 2008.

5. INVESTMENT IN AND TRANSACTIONS WITH NUSTAR ENERGY L.P.
Our ownership interest in NuStar Energy L.P. as of June 30, 2006 was 23.4%, which was composed of a 2% general partner interest, incentive distribution rights, and a 21.4% limited partner interest. The limited partner interest was represented by 10,222,630 common units of NuStar Energy L.P., of which 9,599,322 were previously subordinated units that converted to common units on May 8, 2006 upon the termination of the subordination period in accordance with the terms of NuStar Energy L.P.’s partnership agreement.
Through the date of termination of the subordination period, NuStar Energy L.P. had issued common units to the public on three separate occasions, which had diluted our ownership percentage. These three issuances resulted in increases (or credits, known as SAB 51 credits due to the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin that provides accounting guidance for such credits) in our proportionate share of NuStar Energy L.P.’s capital because, in each case, the issuance price per unit exceeded our carrying amount per unit at the time of issuance. We had not recognized any SAB 51 credits in our consolidated financial statements through March 31, 2006 and were not permitted to do so until the subordinated units converted to common units. In conjunction with the conversion of the subordinated units held by us to common units in the second quarter of 2006, we recognized the entire balance of $158 million in SAB 51 credits as an increase in our investment in NuStar Energy L.P. and $101 million after tax as an increase to “additional paid-in capital” in our consolidated balance sheet.
NuStar GP Holdings, LLC completed public offerings in July and December 2006 through which we sold all of our ownership interest in NuStar GP Holdings, LLC. As a result, we no longer owned any interest in NuStar Energy L.P. as of December 31, 2006. Financial information reported by NuStar Energy L.P. for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 is summarized below (in millions):

Related-Party Transactions
Through December 31, 2006, we provided NuStar Energy L.P. with certain corporate functions for an annual fee as prescribed by a services agreement. Effective January 1, 2007, the services agreement was amended to provide for limited services. The amended services agreement provided for a termination date of December 31, 2010, unless we terminated the agreement earlier, in which case we were required to pay a termination fee of $13 million. In April, we notified NuStar Energy L.P. of our decision to terminate the services agreement. Accordingly, the $13 million termination fee was accrued and paid during the second quarter of 2007.

6. DEBT
On February 1, 2007, we redeemed our 9.25% senior notes for $183 million, or 104.625% of stated value. These notes had a carrying amount of $187 million on the date of redemption, resulting in a gain of $4 million that was included in “other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statement of income.
In April 2007, we repaid in full at the scheduled maturity date $230 million related to our 6.125% notes. Also in April 2007, we borrowed $3 billion under a 364-day term credit agreement with a financial institution to fund the accelerated share repurchase program discussed in Note 7. The term loan bore interest at LIBOR plus a margin, or an alternate base rate as defined under the term credit agreement. In May 2007, we repaid $500 million of the borrowings under the term credit agreement. The remaining balance of $2.5 billion was repaid in June 2007 using available cash and proceeds from our issuance of long-term notes described below.
On June 8, 2007, we issued $750 million of 6.125% notes due June 15, 2017 and $1.5 billion of 6.625% notes due June 15, 2037. Proceeds from the issuance of these notes totaled $2.245 billion, before deducting underwriting discounts of $18 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facilities or our short-term uncommitted bank credit facilities.
7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Treasury Stock
During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we purchased 61.9 million and 20.4 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $4.2 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. These purchases were made in connection with the administration of our employee benefit plans and the $6 billion common stock purchase program authorized by our board of directors, including the effect of the accelerated share repurchase program discussed below. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we issued 11.4 million shares from treasury at an average cost of $61.28 per share, and for the six months ended June 30, 2006, we issued 9.6 million shares from treasury at an average cost of $53.52 per share, for our employee benefit plans.
Accelerated Share Repurchase Program
On April 25, 2007, our board of directors approved an amendment to our $2 billion common stock purchase program to increase the authorized purchases under the program to $6 billion. In conjunction with the increase in our common stock purchase program, we entered into an agreement with a financial institution to purchase $3 billion of our shares under an accelerated share repurchase program, and in late

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
April, 42.1 million shares were purchased under this agreement. As described in Note 6 above, the purchase of these shares was initially funded with a 364-day term credit agreement, which we subsequently replaced with longer-term financing. The cost of the shares purchased under this accelerated share repurchase program was to be adjusted at the expiration of the program, with the final purchase cost based on a discount to the average trading price of our common stock, weighted by the daily volume of shares traded, during the program period. Any adjustment to the cost could be paid in cash or stock, at our option. Prior to the settlement of the accelerated share repurchase program, the number of shares of our common stock included in the calculation of “earnings per common share – assuming dilution” for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 included the number of shares that would have been payable under the agreement assuming we elected settlement in shares of our common stock. The weighted-average number of shares included in each respective period was based on the initial shares purchased under the program multiplied by the price adjustment as of June 30, 2007 using the final purchase price formula described above, divided by our closing price as of June 30, 2007.
The accelerated share repurchase program was completed on July 23, 2007, resulting in an additional $94.5 million payment by us for the shares purchased. At that time, we elected to pay this additional amount in cash.
Common Stock Dividends
On July 12, 2007, our board of directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per common share payable on September 6, 2007 to holders of record at the close of business on August 8, 2007.

9. STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
In order to determine net cash provided by operating activities, net income is adjusted by, among other things, changes in current assets and current liabilities as follows (in millions):
                 
   
Six Months Ended June 30,
   
2007
 
2006
Decrease (increase) in current assets:
               
Receivables, net
  $ (268 )   $ (648 )
Inventories
    (638 )     (573 )
Income taxes receivable
    32       46  
Prepaid expenses and other
    14       (105 )
Increase (decrease) in current liabilities:
               
Accounts payable
    464       1,316  
Accrued expenses
    (71 )     (148 )
Taxes other than income taxes
    3       (1 )
Income taxes payable
    524       494  
 
               
Changes in current assets and current liabilities
  $ 60     $ 381  
 
               
The above changes in current assets and current liabilities differ from changes between amounts reflected in the applicable consolidated balance sheets for the respective periods for the following reasons:
   
the amounts shown above exclude changes in cash and temporary cash investments, deferred income taxes, and current portion of long-term debt and capital lease obligations, as well as the effect of certain noncash investing and financing activities discussed below;
 
   
previously accrued capital expenditures, deferred turnaround and catalyst costs, and contingent earn-out payments, as well as advance proceeds related to the sale of the Lima Refinery, are reflected in investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows;
 
   
changes in assets held for sale and liabilities related to assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets are reflected in the line item to which the changes relate in the table above and in the consolidated statements of cash flows; and
 
   
certain differences between consolidated balance sheet changes and consolidated statement of cash flow changes reflected above result from translating foreign currency denominated amounts at different exchange rates.
There were no significant noncash investing or financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Noncash investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 included the pre-tax recognition of $158 million of SAB 51 credits related to our investment in NuStar Energy L.P. as discussed in Note 5. Noncash investing activities also included adjustments to property, plant and equipment, goodwill and certain current and noncurrent assets and liabilities resulting from adjustments to the purchase price allocation related to the acquisitions of Premcor and UDS. Noncash financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 included the conversion of 747,260 shares of preferred stock into 1,481,066 shares of our common stock.

Cash flows related to the discontinued operations of the Lima Refinery have been combined with the cash flows from continuing operations within each category in the consolidated statement of cash flows for each period presented. Cash provided by operating activities related to our discontinued results of operations was $260 million and $113 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Cash used in investing activities related to the Lima Refinery were $14 million and $70 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Cash flows related to interest and income taxes were as follows (in millions):
                 
   
Six Months Ended June 30,
   
2007
 
2006
Interest paid (net of amount capitalized)
  $ 139     $ 164

10. PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES
The net gain (loss) recognized in income representing the amount of hedge ineffectiveness was as follows (in millions):
                                 
   
Three Months Ended June 30,
 
Six Months Ended June 30,
   
2007
 
2006

2006
Fair value hedges
  $ (1 )   $ (3 )   $ (2 )   $ (6 )
Cash flow hedges
    (7 )     5       (6 )     5  
The above amounts were included in “cost of sales” in the consolidated statements of income. No component of the derivative instruments’ gains or losses was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. No amounts were recognized in income for hedged firm commitments that no longer qualify as fair value hedges.
For cash flow hedges, gains and losses reported in “accumulated other comprehensive income” in the consolidated balance sheets are reclassified into “cost of sales” when the forecasted transactions affect income. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized in “accumulated other comprehensive income” unrealized after-tax losses of $87 million on certain cash flow hedges, primarily related to forward sales of distillates and associated forward purchases of crude oil, with $48 million of cumulative after-tax losses on cash flow hedges remaining in “accumulated other comprehensive income” as of June 30, 2007. We expect that the deferred losses as of June 30, 2007 will be reclassified into “cost of sales” over the next nine months as a result of hedged transactions that are forecasted to occur. The amount ultimately realized in income, however, will differ as commodity prices change. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, there were no amounts reclassified from “accumulated other comprehensive income” into income as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting.
11. INCOME TAXES
As discussed in Note 2, on January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48. We did not recognize a significant change in our liability for uncertain tax positions as a result of our implementation of FIN 48; however, certain amounts previously reported in “deferred income taxes” were reclassified to “other long-

term liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2007. In accordance with the provisions of FIN 48, prior period amounts were not reclassified. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 was $179 million of which $85 million, if recognized, would impact our effective rate. Accrued liabilities for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were $43 million as of January 1, 2007. We anticipate that any matters resolved with tax authorities within the next 12 months will not result in a material change in our financial position or results of operations. As of June 30, 2007, we remain subject to examination in the U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions for the tax years from 1999 through 2006 and Canadian federal and various provincial jurisdictions for tax years from 2001 to 2006.

Although we have only $1 million of minimum required contributions to our qualified pension plans during 2007 under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, we expect to contribute $36 million to our qualified plans during 2007. There were no contributions made during the six months ended June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, we contributed $45 million to our qualified pension plans.
14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Accounts Receivable Sales Facility
As of June 30, 2007, we had an accounts receivable sales facility with a group of third-party financial institutions to sell on a revolving basis up to $1 billion of eligible trade receivables, which matures in August 2008. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the amount of eligible receivables sold to the third-party financial institutions was $1 billion.

Contingent Earn-Out Agreements
In June 2007, we made a previously accrued payment of $25 million related to the Delaware City Refinery contingent earn-out agreement. In both January 2007 and January 2006, we made previously accrued earn-out payments of $50 million related to the acquisition of the St. Charles Refinery. In the second quarter of 2006, we made an earn-out contingency payment of $26 million to Salomon Inc in conjunction with our acquisition of Basis Petroleum, Inc.
The following table summarizes the aggregate payments we have made through June 30, 2007 and payment limitations related to the following acquisitions (in millions):

Tax Matters
We are subject to extensive tax liabilities, including federal, state, and foreign income taxes and transactional taxes such as excise, sales/use, payroll, franchise, withholding, and ad valorem taxes. New tax laws and regulations and changes in existing tax laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed that could result in increased expenditures for tax liabilities in the future. Certain of these liabilities are subject to periodic audits by the respective taxing authority. Subsequent changes to our tax liabilities as a result of these audits may subject us to interest and penalties.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Government of Aruba (GOA) enacted a turnover tax on revenues from the sale of goods produced and services rendered in Aruba. The turnover tax, which is 3% for on-island sales and services and 1% on export sales, is being assessed by the GOA on sales by our Aruba Refinery. However, due to a previous tax holiday that was granted to our Aruba Refinery by the GOA through December 31, 2010, we believe that sales by our Aruba Refinery should not be subject to this turnover tax. As a result, no amounts have been accrued with respect to this turnover tax. We have filed a request for arbitration with the Netherlands Arbitration Institute pursuant to which we will seek to enforce our rights under the tax holiday.
Litigation
MTBE Litigation
As of August 1, 2007, we were named as a defendant in 82 active cases alleging liability related to MTBE contamination in groundwater. The plaintiffs are generally water providers, governmental authorities, and private water companies alleging that refiners and marketers of MTBE and gasoline containing MTBE are liable for manufacturing or distributing a defective product. We have been named in these lawsuits together with many other refining industry companies. We are being sued primarily as a refiner and marketer of MTBE and gasoline containing MTBE. We do not own or operate gasoline station facilities in most of the geographic locations in which damage is alleged to have occurred. The lawsuits generally seek individual, unquantified compensatory and punitive damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees. Although most of the cases are pending in federal court and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Multi-District Litigation Docket No. 1358, In re: Methyl-Tertiary Butyl Ether Products Liability Litigation), a recent ruling on

jurisdiction from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit may result in a remand of many of the cases to state court. Two cases, Riverview Water District and California Water Services Company, have already been remanded to state courts in California. Valero is involved in four cases that have been selected as “focus cases” for discovery and pre-trial motions. One of these, the Suffolk County Water Authority case, is scheduled for trial in March 2008. Activity in the “non-focus” cases is generally stayed. We believe that we have strong defenses to these claims and are vigorously defending the cases. We have recorded a loss contingency liability with respect to this matter in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5. However, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, we believe that it is reasonably possible (as defined in FASB Statement No. 5) that we may suffer a loss with respect to one or more of the lawsuits in excess of the amount accrued. We believe that such an outcome in any one of these lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position. However, we believe that an adverse result in all or a substantial number of these cases could have a material effect on our results of operations and financial position. An estimate of the possible loss or range of loss from an adverse result in all or substantially all of these cases cannot reasonably be made.
Retail Fuel Temperature Litigation
Along with several other defendants in the retail petroleum marketing business, as of August 1, 2007, we were named in 17 consumer class action lawsuits relating to fuel temperature. The complaints, filed in federal courts in several states, allege that because fuel volume increases with fuel temperature, the defendants have violated state consumer protection laws by failing to adjust the volume of fuel when the fuel temperature exceeded 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The complaints seek to certify classes of retail consumers who purchased fuel in various locations. The complaints seek an order compelling the installation of temperature correction devices as well as associated monetary relief. In June 2007, the federal lawsuits were consolidated into a multidistrict litigation case in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas (Multi-District Litigation Docket No. 1840, In re: Motor Fuel Temperature Sales Practices Litigation). We believe that we have several strong defenses to these lawsuits and intend to contest them. We have not recorded a loss contingency liability with respect to this matter, but due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, we believe that it is reasonably possible (as defined in FASB Statement No. 5) that we may suffer a loss with respect to one or more of the lawsuits. An estimate of the possible loss or range of loss from an adverse result in all or substantially all of these cases cannot reasonably be made.
Other Litigation
We are also a party to additional claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that there is only a remote likelihood that future costs related to known contingent liabilities related to these legal proceedings would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q, including without limitation our discussion below under the heading “Results of Operations — Outlook,” includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can identify our forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “projection,” “predict,” “budget,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “target,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “may,” and similar expressions.
These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding:
   
future refining margins, including gasoline and distillate margins;
 
   
future retail margins, including gasoline, diesel, home heating oil, and convenience store merchandise margins;
 
   
expectations regarding feedstock costs, including crude oil differentials, and operating expenses;
 
   
anticipated levels of crude oil and refined product inventories;
 
   
our anticipated level of capital investments, including deferred refinery turnaround and catalyst costs and capital expenditures for environmental and other purposes, and the effect of those capital investments on our results of operations;
 
   
anticipated trends in the supply of and demand for crude oil and other feedstocks and refined products in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere;
 
   
expectations regarding environmental, tax, and other regulatory initiatives; and
 
   
the effect of general economic and other conditions on refining and retail industry fundamentals.
We based our forward-looking statements on our current expectations, estimates, and projections about ourselves and our industry. We caution that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that we cannot predict. In addition, we based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual results may differ materially from the future performance that we have expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements. Differences between actual results and any future performance suggested in these forward-looking statements could result from a variety of factors, including the following:
   
acts of terrorism aimed at either our facilities or other facilities that could impair our ability to produce or transport refined products or receive feedstocks;
 
   
political and economic conditions in nations that consume refined products, including the United States, and in crude oil producing regions, including the Middle East and South America;

OVERVIEW
In this overview, we describe some of the primary factors that we believe affected our operations in the first six months of 2007. Our profitability is substantially determined by the spread between the price of refined products and the price of crude oil, referred to as the “refined product margin.” The strong industry fundamentals for refined products that we experienced throughout 2006 continued during the first six months of 2007. Gasoline and distillate demand in the United States remained strong through the first six months of 2007, and growing worldwide demand has increased competition for gasoline and distillate supplies. In addition, other factors such as unscheduled refinery outages and the implementation of more restrictive sulfur regulations on gasoline and diesel resulted in tight supplies of refined products and favorable refined product margins during the first six months of 2007.
Since approximately 65% of our total crude oil throughput represents sour crude oil and acidic sweet crude oil feedstocks that are purchased at prices less than sweet crude oil, our profitability is also significantly affected by the spread between sweet crude oil and sour crude oil prices, referred to as the “sour crude oil differential.” First and second quarter 2007 sour crude oil differentials relative to West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil declined compared to the strong 2006 first and second quarter differentials as the price of WTI weakened. However, the sour crude oil differentials relative to light, sweet crude oils other than WTI in the first six months of 2007 were comparable to those experienced in the first six months of 2006.
On February 16, 2007, our McKee Refinery was shut down due to a fire originating in its propane deasphalting unit, resulting in estimated reduced operating income of approximately $250 million in the first six months of 2007. The refinery recommenced operations on April 12 at a reduced throughput rate, with run rates by the end of June having increased to about 90% of the refinery’s capacity.
The favorable gasoline and distillate margins discussed above contributed to strong operating results in the second quarter and first six months of 2007. We reported net income of $2.2 billion, or $3.89 per share, for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $1.9 billion, or $2.98 per share, for the second quarter of 2006, and net income of $3.4 billion, or $5.68 per share, for the first six months of 2007 compared to $2.7 billion, or $4.29 per share, for the first six months of 2006. As a result of these strong earnings during the first six months of 2007, we generated $4.4 billion of net cash from operating activities. During the second quarter of 2007, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase program as discussed in Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under which we purchased 42.1 million shares of our common stock for $3 billion, which was partially financed by $2.25 billion of long-term notes issued in the second quarter.
Effective July 1, 2007, we consummated the sale of our refinery in Lima, Ohio to Husky Refining Company (Husky), a wholly owned subsidiary of Husky Energy Inc. The sales price was $1.9 billion, plus $540 million for a preliminary working capital settlement.

Table of Contents

General
Operating revenues decreased 5% for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006 primarily as a result of lower sales volumes between the two periods. Operating income of $3.2 billion and income from continuing operations of $2.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased approximately 17% and 13%, respectively, from the corresponding amounts in the second quarter of 2006 primarily due to a $454 million increase in refining segment operating income. The refining segment operating income and income from continuing operations exclude the operations of the Lima Refinery which was classified as discontinued operations due to our pending sale of that refinery as discussed in Note 3 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Refining
Operating income for our refining segment increased from $2.9 billion for the second quarter of 2006 to $3.3 billion for the second quarter of 2007, resulting mainly from a 16% increase in throughput margin per barrel, partially offset by a $128 million increase in refining operating expenses (including depreciation and amortization expense) and a 49,000 barrel-per-day decrease in throughput volumes.
Total refining throughput margins for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006 were impacted by the following factors:
   
Overall gasoline and distillate margins increased in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006. The improvement in refined product margins for the second quarter of 2007 was primarily due to an increase in demand combined with a decline in refined product inventory levels resulting from various factors, including lower imports, more stringent product specifications and regulations, and unplanned refinery outages.
 
   
Sour crude oil feedstock differentials to WTI crude oil during the second quarter of 2007 were lower than the differentials in the second quarter of 2006. However, other light, sweet crude oils priced at a premium to WTI in the second quarter of 2007; thus, sour crude oil feedstock differentials relative to those other light, sweet crude oils in the second quarter of 2007 were comparable to the wide differentials experienced in the second quarter of 2006. These wide differentials are attributable to continued ample supplies of sour crude oils and heavy sour residual fuel oils on the world market. Differentials on sour crude oil feedstocks also continued to benefit from increased demand for sweet crude oil resulting from lower sulfur specifications for gasoline and diesel and a global increase in refined product demand.
 
   
Margins on other refined products such as propylene, petroleum coke, and sulfur improved from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007 due to a decrease in the price of crude oil between the periods.
 
   
Throughput volumes declined by 49,000 barrels per day in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006 due mainly to a continuing reduction in throughput volumes at our McKee Refinery as a result of a fire originating in its propane deasphalting unit in February 2007.
Refining operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, were 8% higher for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2006 due primarily to increases in employee compensation and related benefits, energy costs, and maintenance expense. Refining depreciation and amortization expense increased 22% from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007 primarily due to the implementation of new capital projects and increased turnaround and catalyst amortization.

Retail
Retail operating income of $56 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was approximately 22% higher than the $46 million reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. This increase in operating income was mainly attributable to an approximate $0.06 per gallon increase in average fuel margins in our U.S. retail operations, partially offset by increased selling expenses of $16 million attributable to costs associated with a reorganization of our U.S. retail operations.
Corporate Expenses and Other
General and administrative expenses, including corporate depreciation and amortization expense, increased $9 million from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007. This increase was primarily due to a $13 million termination fee paid in the second quarter of 2007 for the cancellation of our services agreement with NuStar Energy L.P., partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007.
Equity in earnings of NuStar Energy L.P. is not reflected in the second quarter of 2007 due to the sale of our remaining ownership interest in NuStar GP Holdings, LLC in December 2006.
Income tax expense increased $179 million from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007 mainly as a result of higher operating income.
Income from discontinued operations, net of income tax expense, increased $109 million from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007 due primarily to an 89% increase in Lima Refinery’s throughput margin per barrel, from $12.69 per barrel in 2006 to $24.00 per barrel in 2007.

The following notes relate to references on pages 39 through 42.
(a)  
On May 2, 2007, we entered into an agreement to sell our Lima Refinery to Husky. Therefore, the results of operations of the Lima Refinery are reported as discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and all refining operating highlights, both consolidated and for the Mid-Continent region, exclude the Lima Refinery for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The sale of the Lima Refinery was consummated effective July 1, 2007.
 
(b)  
Certain amounts previously reported in 2006 for operating revenues, cost of sales, and retail selling expenses have been reclassified for comparability with amounts reported in 2007.
 
(c)  
On December 22, 2006, we sold our remaining ownership interest in NuStar GP Holdings, LLC (formerly Valero GP Holdings, LLC), which indirectly owns the general partner interest, the incentive distribution rights, and a 21.4% limited partner interest in NuStar Energy L.P. (formerly Valero L.P.). As a result, the financial highlights reflect no equity in earnings of NuStar Energy L.P. subsequent to December 21, 2006.

Table of Contents

General
Operating revenues decreased 6% for the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006 primarily as a result of lower sales volumes between the two periods. Operating income increased $829 million, or 21%, and income from continuing operations increased $503 million, or 19%, from the six months ended June 30, 2006 to the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to a $792 million increase in refining segment operating income and a $42 million increase in retail segment operating income. The refining segment operating income and income from continuing operations exclude the operations of the Lima Refinery which was classified as discontinued operations due to our pending sale of that refinery as discussed in Note 3 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Refining
Operating income for our refining segment increased from $4.3 billion for the first six months of 2006 to $5.1 billion for the first six months of 2007, resulting mainly from a 17% increase in throughput margin per barrel, partially offset by a $245 million increase in refining operating expenses (including depreciation and amortization expense) and a 21,000 barrel-per-day decrease in throughput volumes.
Total refining throughput margins for the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006 were impacted by the following factors:
   
Gasoline and distillate margins improved in all of our refining regions in the first six months of 2007 compared to the margins in the first six months of 2006. The increase in refined product margins for the first six months of 2007 was primarily due to stronger demand combined with a decline in refined product inventory levels resulting from lower imports, more stringent product specifications and regulations, heavy industry turnaround activity, and unplanned refinery outages.
 
   
Sour crude oil feedstock differentials to WTI crude oil during the first six months of 2007 were lower than the differentials in the first six months of 2006. However, other light, sweet crude oils priced at a premium to WTI in the first six months of 2007; thus, sour crude oil feedstock differentials relative to those other light, sweet crude oils in the first six months of 2007 were comparable to the wide differentials experienced in the first six months of 2006. These wide differentials are attributable to continued ample supplies of sour crude oils and heavy sour residual fuel oils on the world market. Differentials on sour crude oil feedstocks also continued to benefit from increased demand for sweet crude oil resulting from lower sulfur specifications for gasoline and diesel and a global increase in refined product demand.
 
   
Margins on other refined products such as propylene, petroleum coke, and sulfur improved from the first six months of 2006 to the first six months of 2007 due to a decrease in the price of crude oil between the periods.
 
   
Throughput volumes declined by 21,000 barrels per day in the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006 due mainly to a continuing reduction in throughput volumes at our McKee Refinery as a result of a fire originating in its propane deasphalting unit in February 2007.
Refining operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, were 7% higher for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006 due primarily to increases in employee compensation and related benefits and maintenance expense. Refining depreciation and amortization expense increased 26% from the first six months of 2006 to the first six months of 2007 primarily due to the implementation of new capital projects, increased turnaround and catalyst amortization, and the write-off of costs related to the McKee Refinery as a result of the fire discussed above.

Table of Contents

Retail
Retail operating income of $109 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately 63% higher than the $67 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase in operating income was mainly attributable to a $0.04 per gallon increase in average fuel margins in our U.S. retail operations.
Corporate Expenses and Other
General and administrative expenses, including corporate depreciation and amortization expense, were essentially unchanged from the first six months of 2006 to the first six months of 2007. Reductions in expense resulting from 2006 expenses attributable to Premcor headquarters personnel that were not incurred in the first six months of 2007 and lower stock-based compensation were offset by executive retirement expenses and the services agreement termination fee paid to NuStar Energy L.P. that were incurred in the first six months of 2007.
Equity in earnings of NuStar Energy L.P. is not reflected in the first six months of 2007 due to the sale of our remaining ownership interest in NuStar GP Holdings, LLC in December 2006.
Income tax expense increased $288 million from the first six months of 2006 to the first six months of 2007 mainly as a result of higher operating income.
Income from discontinued operations, net of income tax expense, increased $144 million from the first six months of 2006 to the first six months of 2007 due primarily to an 86% increase in Lima Refinery’s throughput margin per barrel, from $9.38 per barrel in 2006 to $17.41 per barrel in 2007.
OUTLOOK
Since the end of the 2007 second quarter, refined product margins have declined despite key refining industry fundamentals remaining favorable. U.S. light product inventories, on a days-of-supply basis, remain low and demand continues to be strong relative to prior years. Going forward, refined product markets are entering the seasonal transition period that historically occurs in late summer and early fall which is typically a volatile period for refined product margins. Regarding feedstocks, sour crude oil differentials relative to sweet crude oils have widened and are expected to remain favorable through the third quarter due to ample supplies of sour crude oil and continued strong demand for sweet crude oil.
On February 16, 2007, our McKee Refinery experienced a fire originating in its propane deasphalting unit. The refinery recommenced operations on April 12, 2007 at approximately 50% of capacity. Throughput rates at the McKee Refinery increased to approximately 150,000 barrels per day by the end of the second quarter of 2007 and are expected to reach full capacity by the end of 2007 or early 2008. In regard to other operations, we have minimal turnaround activity scheduled for the third quarter of 2007. We expect to benefit during the remainder of 2007 from capital improvement projects that have been completed, including the crude unit expansion project at our Port Arthur Refinery, the addition of mild hydrocracker units at our St. Charles and Houston Refineries, and the addition of a diesel hydrotreater unit at our Benicia Refinery.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $4.4 billion compared to $3.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in cash generated from

44


Table of Contents

operating activities was due primarily to the increase in net income, including the effect of discontinued operations related to the Lima Refinery, discussed above under “Results of Operations,” partially offset by a $321 million decrease from an unfavorable change in working capital between the years. Changes in cash provided by or used for working capital during the first six months of 2007 and 2006 are shown in Note 9 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Cash flows related to the discontinued operations of the Lima Refinery have been combined with the cash flows from continuing operations within each category in the consolidated statement of cash flows for each period presented. Cash provided by operating activities related to our discontinued results of operations was $260 million and $113 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Cash used in investing activities related to the Lima Refinery was $14 million and $70 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The net cash generated from operating activities during the first six months of 2007, combined with $2.245 billion of proceeds from the issuance of long-term notes, a $215 million benefit from tax deductions in excess of recognized stock-based compensation cost, and $111 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock related to our employee benefit plans, were used mainly to:
   
fund $1.3 billion of capital expenditures and deferred turnaround and catalyst costs;
 
   
purchase 61.9 million shares of treasury stock at a cost of $4.2 billion;
 
   
make an early debt repurchase of $183 million and a scheduled debt repayment of $230 million;
 
   
fund capital contributions of $215 million to Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline Company to enable the joint venture to redeem all of its outstanding debt;
 
   
fund contingent earn-out payments in connection with the acquisition of the St. Charles Refinery and the Delaware City Refinery of $50 million and $25 million, respectively;
 
   
pay common stock dividends of $139 million; and
 
   
increase available cash on hand by $746 million.
The net cash generated from operating activities during the first six months of 2006, combined with a $130 million benefit from tax deductions in excess of recognized stock-based compensation cost, $65 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock related to our employee benefit plans, and $62 million of net borrowings (net of repayments) under our bank credit facilities were used mainly to:
   
fund $2.0 billion of capital expenditures and deferred turnaround and catalyst costs;
 
   
purchase 20.4 million shares of treasury stock at a cost of $1.2 billion;
 
   
make long-term note repayments of $221 million;
 
   
fund contingent earn-out payments in connection with the acquisition of Basis Petroleum, Inc. and the St. Charles Refinery of $26 million and $50 million, respectively;
 
   
terminate our interest rate swap contracts for $54 million;
 
   
pay common and preferred stock dividends of $87 million; and
 
   
increase available cash on hand by $501 million.
Capital Investments
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we expended $1.0 billion for capital expenditures and $230 million for deferred turnaround and catalyst costs. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included $349 million of costs related to environmental projects.
In connection with our acquisition of the St. Charles Refinery in 2003, the seller is entitled to receive payments in any of the seven years following this acquisition if certain average refining margins during any of those years exceed a specified level. In connection with the Premcor Acquisition in 2005, we assumed Premcor’s obligation under a contingent earn-out agreement related to Premcor’s acquisition of the Delaware City Refinery from Motiva Enterprises LLC. Any payments due under these earn-out

45


Table of Contents

arrangements are limited based on annual and aggregate limits. In January 2007, we made an earn-out payment of $50 million related to the St. Charles Refinery. In June 2007, we made an earn-out payment of $25 million related to the acquisition of the Delaware City Refinery, which was the maximum remaining payment based on the aggregate limitation under the agreement.
For 2007, we expect to incur approximately $3.5 billion for capital investments, including approximately $3.0 billion for capital expenditures (approximately $730 million of which is for environmental projects) and approximately $460 million for deferred turnaround and catalyst costs. The capital expenditure estimate excludes expenditures related to the earn-out contingency agreements discussed above and strategic acquisitions. We continuously evaluate our capital budget and make changes as economic conditions warrant.
In May and June of 2007, we made cash capital contributions of $190 million and $25 million, respectively, to Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline Company, representing our 50% portion of the amount required for the Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline joint venture to redeem its fixed-rate notes and variable-rate debt, respectively. Our capital contributions, along with equal capital contributions from the other 50% joint venture partner, were used to redeem all of the joint venture’s outstanding debt.
Lima Refinery Disposition
Effective July 1, 2007, we consummated the sale of our Lima Refinery to Husky. Proceeds from the sale were $1.9 billion, plus $540 million representing a preliminary working capital settlement. The working capital settlement is expected to be finalized within 90 days after the effective date of the sale. In connection with the sale, we entered into a transition services agreement with Husky under which we agreed to provide certain accounting and administrative services to Husky beginning July 3, 2007, with the services terminating by July 31, 2008.
Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2007, our contractual obligations included long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating leases, purchase obligations, and other long-term liabilities. We had the following changes to our long-term debt during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
On February 1, 2007, we redeemed our 9.25% senior notes for $183 million, or 104.625% of stated value. In April 2007, we repaid in full at the scheduled maturity date $230 million related to our 6.125% notes.
In April 2007, we borrowed $3 billion under a 364-day term credit agreement with a financial institution to fund the accelerated share repurchase program discussed in Note 7 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2007, we repaid $500 million of the borrowings under the 364-day term credit agreement. The remaining balance of $2.5 billion was repaid in June 2007 using available cash and proceeds from the issuance of $2.25 billion of notes described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we had no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business in operating leases or purchase obligations. Other long-term liabilities increased during the first six months of 2007 due to the adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, as discussed in Note 11 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our agreements do not have rating agency triggers that would automatically require us to post additional collateral. However, in the event of certain downgrades of our senior unsecured debt to below investment grade ratings by Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, the cost of borrowings under some of our bank credit facilities and other arrangements would increase. As of June 30, 2007, all of our ratings on our senior unsecured debt are at or above “investment grade” level as follows:
     
Rating Agency

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services
  BBB (stable outlook)

    Borrowing    
   
Capacity
 
Expiration
Revolving credit facility
  $2.5 billion   August 2011
Canadian revolving credit facility
  Cdn. $115 million   December 2010
As of June 30, 2007, we had $631 million of letters of credit outstanding under our uncommitted short-term bank credit facilities and $164 million of letters of credit outstanding under our committed revolving credit facility. Under our Canadian committed revolving credit facility, we had Cdn. $8 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2007. These letters of credit expire during 2007, 2008, and 2009.
Stock Purchase Programs
During the first quarter of 2007, we had two stock purchase programs that had been previously approved by our board of directors, which authorized our purchase of treasury stock in open market transactions to satisfy employee benefit plan requirements as well as a $2 billion common stock purchase program. Stock purchases under the $2 billion program during the first quarter of 2007 were made from time to time at prevailing prices as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, subject to market conditions and other factors. The programs do not have a scheduled expiration date.
On April 25, 2007, our board of directors approved an amendment to our $2 billion common stock purchase program to increase the authorized purchases under the program to $6 billion. In conjunction with the increase in our common stock purchase program, we entered into an agreement with a financial institution to purchase $3 billion of our shares under an accelerated share repurchase program, and in late April, 42.1 million shares were purchased under this agreement. The purchase of these shares was funded with a short-term bridge loan, which we subsequently replaced with longer-term financing as described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The cost of the shares purchased under the accelerated share repurchase program was to be adjusted, with the final purchase cost based on a discount to the average trading price of our common stock, weighted by the daily volume of shares traded, during the program period. Any adjustment to the cost could be paid in cash or stock, at our option.
The accelerated share repurchase program was completed on July 23, 2007, resulting in an additional $94.5 million payment by us for the shares purchased. At that time, we elected to pay this additional amount in cash. This cash payment will have a dilutive effect on our third quarter computation of earnings per common share – assuming dilution.

Table of Contents

During the first six months of 2007, we purchased 61.9 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $4.2 billion in connection with the administration of our employee benefit plans and the common stock purchase programs authorized by our board of directors, including shares purchased under the accelerated share repurchase program discussed above.
Tax Matters
We are subject to extensive tax liabilities, including federal, state, and foreign income taxes and transactional taxes such as excise, sales/use, payroll, franchise, withholding, and ad valorem taxes. New tax laws and regulations and changes in existing tax laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed that could result in increased expenditures for tax liabilities in the future. Certain of these liabilities are subject to periodic audits by the respective taxing authority. Subsequent changes to our tax liabilities as a result of these audits may subject us to interest and penalties.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Government of Aruba (GOA) enacted a turnover tax on revenues from the sale of goods produced and services rendered in Aruba. The turnover tax, which is 3% for on-island sales and services and 1% on export sales, is being assessed by the GOA on sales by our Aruba Refinery. However, due to a previous tax holiday that was granted to our Aruba Refinery by the GOA through December 31, 2010, we believe that sales by our Aruba Refinery should not be subject to this turnover tax. As a result, no amounts have been accrued with respect to this turnover tax. We have filed a request for arbitration with the Netherlands Arbitration Institute pursuant to which we will seek to enforce our rights under the tax holiday.
Other
Although we have only $1 million of minimum required contributions to our qualified pension plans during 2007 under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, we expect to contribute $36 million to our qualified pension plans during 2007.
We are subject to extensive federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to the discharge of materials into the environment, waste management, pollution prevention measures, greenhouse gas emissions, and characteristics and composition of gasolines and distillates. Because environmental laws and regulations are becoming more complex and stringent and new environmental laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed, the level of future expenditures required for environmental matters could increase in the future. In addition, any major upgrades in any of our refineries could require material additional expenditures to comply with environmental laws and regulations.
We believe that we have sufficient funds from operations and, to the extent necessary, from the public and private capital markets and bank markets, to fund our ongoing operating requirements. We expect that, to the extent necessary, we can raise additional funds from time to time through equity or debt financings. However, there can be no assurances regarding the availability of any future financings or whether such financings can be made available on terms that are acceptable to us.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Accounts Receivable Sales Facility
As of June 30, 2007, we had an accounts receivable sales facility with a group of third-party financial institutions to sell on a revolving basis up to $1 billion of eligible trade receivables, which matures in August 2008. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the amount of eligible receivables sold to the third-party financial institutions was $1 billion.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
As discussed in Note 2 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, certain new financial accounting pronouncements have been issued which either have already been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, or will become effective for our financial statements at various dates in the future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
COMMODITY PRICE RISK
The following tables provide information about our derivative commodity instruments as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (dollars in millions, except for the weighted-average pay and receive prices as described below), including:
   
fair value hedges which are used to hedge our recognized refining inventories (which had a carrying amount of $4.3 billion and $3.7 billion as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, and a fair value of $9.0 billion and $6.6 billion as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively) and unrecognized firm commitments (i.e., binding agreements to purchase inventories in the future);
 
   
cash flow hedges which are used to hedge our forecasted feedstock and product purchases, refined product sales, and natural gas purchases;
 
   
economic hedges (hedges not designated as fair value or cash flow hedges) which are used to:
  -  
manage price volatility in refinery feedstock and refined product inventories, and
 
  -  
manage price volatility in forecasted feedstock and product purchases, refined product sales, and natural gas purchases; and
   
derivative commodity instruments held or issued for trading purposes.
The gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated and qualifying as a fair value hedge and the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item are recognized currently in income in the same period. The effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated and qualifying as a cash flow hedge is initially reported as a component of “other comprehensive income” and is then recorded in income in the period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects income. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the cash flow derivative instrument, if any, is recognized in income as incurred. For our economic hedges and for derivative instruments entered into by us for trading purposes, the derivative instrument is recorded at fair value and changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized currently in income.
The following tables include only open positions at the end of the reporting period, and therefore do not include amounts related to closed cash flow hedges for which the gain or loss remains in “accumulated other comprehensive income” pending consummation of the forecasted transactions.
Contract volumes are presented in thousands of barrels (for crude oil and refined products) or in billions of British thermal units (for natural gas). The weighted-average pay and receive prices represent amounts per barrel (for crude oil and refined products) or amounts per million British thermal units (for natural gas). Volumes shown for swaps represent notional volumes, which are used to calculate amounts due under the agreements. For futures, the contract value represents the contract price of either the long or short position multiplied by the derivative contract volume, while the market value amount represents the period-end market price of the commodity being hedged multiplied by the derivative contract volume. The pre-tax fair value for futures, swaps, and options represents the fair value of the derivative contract. The pre-tax fair value for swaps represents the excess of the receive price over the pay price multiplied by the notional contract volumes. For futures and options, the pre-tax fair value represents (i) the excess of the market value amount over the contract amount for long positions, or (ii) the excess of the contract amount over the market value amount for short positions. Additionally, for futures and options, the weighted-average pay price represents the contract price for long positions and the weighted-average receive price represents the contract price for short positions. The weighted-average pay price and weighted-average receive price for options represents their strike price.

Brokers holding shares for the beneficial owners of such shares must vote according to specific instructions received from the beneficial owners. If specific instructions are not received, a broker generally may vote the shares in the broker’s discretion in certain instances. However, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) precludes brokers from exercising voting discretion on certain proposals without specific instructions from the beneficial owner. This results in a “broker non-vote” on the proposal. A broker non-vote is treated as “present” for purposes of determining a quorum, has the effect of a negative vote when approval for a particular proposal requires a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of the company, and has no effect when approval for a proposal requires a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote or a plurality of the votes cast. Per the NYSE’s rules, brokers did not have discretion to vote on the shareholder proposals

presented as Proposals 3, 4, and 5 at the Annual Meeting, but did have discretion to vote on Proposals 1 and 2. Shares voted to “abstain” are treated as “present” for purposes of determining a quorum, and have the effect of a negative vote when approval for a proposal requires a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of the company or a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote.
For Proposal 1, directors were to be elected by a plurality of votes cast by the holders of shares of Valero’s common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. Proposals 2, 3, 4, and 5 required approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. Only Proposals 1, 2, and 3 received the required votes for approval.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION
SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
     WHEREAS, Valero Energy Corporation (the “Company”) established the Valero Energy Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), originally effective January 1, 1983 which provides, for certain highly compensated, management personnel, a supplement to their benefits under the Valero Pension Plan so as to retain their loyalty and to offer a further incentive to them to maintain and increase their standard of performance; and
     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.1, the Committee may amend the Plan at any time by an instrument in writing; and
     WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the Plan should be amended and restated to reflect the spinoff of liabilities relating to eligible Employees of NuStar Energy, LLC (formerly Valero GP, LLC) into a separate plan effective as of July 1, 2006, and to make certain other changes consistent with Code section 409A;
     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company amends and restates the Plan as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
     All defined terms used in the Valero Pension Plan shall have the same meaning for this Plan, except as otherwise set forth below.
     1.1 Accrued Benefit. “Accrued Benefit” means, as of any given date of determination, the Retirement benefit calculated under Section 4.1 with Final Average Compensation, but with the offsets for benefits provided by the Valero Pension Plan and Credited Service determined as of that date.
     1.2 Actuarial Equivalent or Actuarially Equivalent Basis. “Actuarial Equivalent” or “Actuarially Equivalent Basis” means an equality in value of the aggregate amounts expected to be received under different forms of payment based on the same mortality and interest rate assumptions. For this purpose, the mortality and interest rate assumptions used in computing benefits under the Valero Pension Plan will be used. If there is no Valero Pension Plan or successor qualified defined benefit plan, then the actuarial assumptions to be used will be those actuarial assumptions deemed appropriate by the actuarial firm, which last served as independent actuary for the Valero Pension Plan prior to its termination or merger had the Valero Pension Plan remained in existence with its last participant census.
     1.3 Board of Directors. “Board of Directors” means the Board of Directors of Valero.
     1.4 Change in Control. “Change in Control” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events:

1


 

     (a) Change in Ownership of Valero. The acquisition by any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of Code § 409A), of ownership of stock of Valero that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of Valero.
     (b) Change in Effective Control of Valero. Either of the following:
(i) The acquisition, during any 12-month period, by any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of Code § 409A), of stock of Valero comprising thirty percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of Valero; or
(ii) The replacement, during any 12-month period, of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors with directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by the majority of the members of the Board of Directors before the date of such appointment or election.
     (c) Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of Valero’s Assets. The acquisition by any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of Code § 409A), during the 12 month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons, of assets of Valero that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of Valero immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions. For purposes of this provision, “gross fair market value” means the value of the assets of Valero, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

With respect to any full calendar year in which a Participant receives Eligible Earnings in each payroll period as an active employee, he shall be credited with one year of Credited Service. With respect to any partial calendar year in which a Participant receives Eligible Earnings as an active employee (such as the calendar year in which employment commences or participation ceases) he shall be credited with a fraction of a year of Credited Service, in the same proportion that the number of payroll periods during such calendar year that he received Eligible Earnings as an active employee bears to the total number of payroll periods during such year. All partial years of Credited Service shall be aggregated so that a Participant receives credit for all periods of

2


 

employment regardless of whether the Credited Service is interrupted. Credited Service shall also include, and a Participant shall be credited with, such additional periods of time, if any, as may have been agreed upon by the Participant and a Company in connection with the Participant’s employment, termination or otherwise.
     1.9 Eligible Earnings. “Eligible Earnings” means all compensation paid or payable by a Company to the employee in the form of base salary or wages and annual bonuses (whether paid or payable in cash or securities or any combination thereof), including therein any amounts of such base salary or wages and annual bonuses earned which, at the employee’s election, in lieu of a cash payment to him, are contributed to a Plan of Deferred Compensation maintained by the Company. During a leave of absence from work, with or without pay, such as disability leave of absence or personal leave of absence, the Participant’s base rate of pay in effect immediately prior to the leave of absence and his most recent annual bonus amount earned shall be used in computing his Eligible Earnings.
     1.10 Final Average Compensation. “Final Average Compensation” means a Participant’s average monthly Eligible Earnings from any Company for the thirty-six consecutive calendar months that give the highest average monthly rate of Eligible Earnings for the Participant out of all calendar months next preceding the earliest of (a) the date upon which a Participant becomes ineligible for participation in this Plan pursuant to Section 2.2; (b) his Retirement; or (c) the termination of the Plan.

     1.13 Normal Retirement Date. “Normal Retirement Date” means the first day of the month coincident with or next following the date on which the Participant attains the age of 65 years.
     1.14 Participant. “Participant” means either (a) an employee of a Company who is eligible for and is participating in the Plan or (b) a former employee of a Company who is eligible to receive benefits under the Plan upon such former employee’s Retirement.
     1.15 Plan. “Plan” means the Valero Energy Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan as set forth in this document, as amended from time to time.
     1.16 Plan of Deferred Compensation. “Plan of Deferred Compensation” means the Valero Energy Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, any successor, alternative or additional nonqualified plan of deferred compensation, and any contributions made under a salary reduction agreement to a Code Section 125 cafeteria plan or Code Section 401(k) cash or deferred arrangement maintained by the Company.

If, at any time, the Committee determines that an employee who is a Participant is no longer eligible to continue to participate, and such employee is still employed by a Company, his Accrued Benefit will be frozen as of the last day of the Plan Year prior to the Plan Year during which he initially became ineligible to participate. He will later be entitled to that frozen Accrued Benefit upon his Retirement (if, at the time of such Retirement, his Accrued Benefit is vested), subject to the requirements of Articles III and IV. The frozen Accrued Benefit will be payable at the time and in the form set forth in Article IV.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in the event that the Participant has, as of the date of his Retirement, accrued a vested benefit in the Valero Energy Corporation Excess Pension Plan which is greater than his frozen accrued benefit hereunder, such Participant shall be entitled to receive his accrued benefit under the Valero Energy Corporation Excess Pension Plan, and shall not be eligible for any benefits hereunder. Under no circumstances shall a Participant be entitled to benefits under both this Plan and the Valero Energy Corporation Excess Pension Plan. The Surviving Spouse of a Participant whose Accrued Benefit is frozen at the time of the Participant’s death shall not be entitled to any death benefit under this Plan. A Participant whose Accrued Benefit is frozen at the time of incurring a disability shall not accrue any further Credited Service either for accrual or vesting purposes after the disability occurs so long as the Participant’s Accrued Benefit in this Plan is frozen. If the frozen Accrued Benefit is less than the benefit which could otherwise be provided without this limitation, then the benefit will not exceed the Participant’s frozen Accrued Benefit. Additionally, if any of the events described in Article VI should occur, the Participant whose Accrued Benefit is frozen shall be subject to having his frozen Accrued Benefit either restricted in amount or forfeited in accordance with Article VI.
     2.3 Renewed Eligibility. If an employee who is a Participant becomes ineligible to continue to participate but remains employed by a Company, and the Committee later determines that the employee is again eligible to participate, the Participant will be given Credited Service for the intervening period, will have his Final Average Compensation computed as though the freeze had never occurred, and will be treated for all purposes as though he had not had his participation interrupted.
ARTICLE III
VESTING
     Except as otherwise set forth herein, a Participant shall vest in his Accrued Benefits pursuant to the following vesting schedule:

5


 

     
Participant’s Years of    
Credited Service   Vested Percentage
Less than 5
  0%
or more
  100%
     Except as otherwise set forth herein, a Participant’s Accrued Benefit attributable to Credited Service on or after January 1, 1996 shall vest only upon the occurrence of the Participant’s death, disability or Retirement, and all benefits under this Plan shall be forfeited if the Participant terminates employment from all Companies prior to death, disability or Retirement.
     The foregoing notwithstanding, a Participant’s Accrued Benefit (whether attributable to Credited Service occurring before, on or after January 1, 1996) shall become fully vested upon: (i) the occurrence of a Change in Control; (ii) termination of the Plan pursuant to Section 9.1; or (iii) the termination of participation in this Plan by the Subsidiary employing the Participant, if such Participant’s participation in the Plan is not promptly continued through employment by another adopting Subsidiary. Upon a Participant’s Separation from Service for any reason prior to becoming fully vested hereunder, the Participant and any Surviving Spouse shall forfeit any interest in and under this Plan, and shall have no right to any benefit hereunder.
ARTICLE IV
RETIREMENT BENEFIT
     4.1 Calculation of Retirement Benefit. Subject to the following provisions of this Section 4.1, the provisions of Section 4.3 and Article III; the benefit payable under the Plan shall be an amount equal to the present value of a lifetime annuity based on the sum of (i) plus (ii) minus (iii) where (i) equals: 1.60% of the Participant’s Final Average Compensation multiplied by his number of years of Credited Service; (ii) equals .35% multiplied by the product of his years of Credited Service (not to exceed 35 years) times the excess of his Final Average Compensation over the lesser of (a) 1.25 times his Monthly Covered Compensation or (b) the Monthly FICA Amount; and (iii) equals the Participant’s Valero Pension Plan Benefit. The lump sum amount payable hereunder shall be determined using the lump sum actuarial factors provided for, and/or used under, the Valero Pension Plan.
     4.2 Form and Time of Payment. Effective for benefit payments commencing as a result of a Participant’s Retirement on or after January 1, 2008, benefits shall be made in a single lump sum payment as of the January 1 following the Participant’s Retirement.
     4.3 Modification of Pension. The Committee shall have the right to modify the calculation of the benefit payable as to any Participant as it may desire from time to time; provided, however, that any such modification shall not result in a reduction of the benefit payable below the amount set forth above in Section 4.1. The amount of the benefits payable to a Participant under this Plan may be modified by written agreement entered into between the Participant and a Company and approved pursuant to Section 7.6. If so modified, the provisions

6


 

of such written agreement shall prevail in determining the amount of the benefits payable to the Participant under this Plan. In addition, benefits payable under this Plan to any Participant shall not affect any other right or entitlement a Participant may have by contract or otherwise, except as may be provided in any such contract.
     4.4 Delay of Certain Payments. With respect to any Participant who is a “Specified Employee”, as defined in Code section 409A and the regulations and rulings issued thereunder, any benefit that becomes payable by reason of such Participant’s Separation from Service shall not commence prior to the date that is six (6) months following such Participant’s separation from service. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall not apply (a) with respect to any benefit that becomes payable due to the death of the Participant, or (b) if, at the time of such Participant’s Separation from Service, no stock of the Company is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise.
ARTICLE V
PRERETIREMENT SPOUSAL DEATH BENEFIT
     5.1 Death Prior to Retirement. In the event that a Participant who has attained age 55 and completed five years of Credited Service dies while employed by a Company but has not Retired, the Participant’s Surviving Spouse shall receive a Surviving Spouse benefit under the Plan, which shall be payable in the form of a lump sum as of the date of the Participant’s death and shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount the Participant would have received under Section 4.1 if he had Retired on his date of death.
     5.2 Beneficiary Designation Prohibited. Since the only death benefit payable under the Plan is to a Surviving Spouse as provided in Section 5.1 above, no Participant shall have the right to designate a beneficiary to receive any benefits hereunder.
ARTICLE VI
PROVISIONS RELATING TO ALL BENEFITS
     6.1 Effect of This Article. The provisions of this Article will control over all other provisions of this Plan.
     6.2 No Duplication of Benefits. It is not intended that there be any duplication of benefits. Therefore, in no event will a Participant and such Participant’s Surviving Spouse qualify for separate benefit payments under Articles IV and V.
     6.3 Forfeiture Upon Termination for Cause. If the Committee finds, after full consideration of the facts presented on behalf of both the Company and a Participant, that the Participant was discharged by a Company for fraud, embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony, proven dishonesty in the course of his employment by a Company which damaged the Company, or for disclosing trade secrets of a Company, the entire Accrued Benefit of the Participant will be forfeited even though it may have been previously vested, and the Participant and any Surviving Spouse shall have no right to a benefit hereunder. The decision of the Committee as to the cause of a former Participant’s discharge and the damage done to the

7


 

Company will be final and binding on all parties. No decision of the Committee will affect the finality of the discharge of the Participant by the Company in any manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no forfeiture should be permitted pursuant to this Section following Plan termination or a Change in Control unless pursuant to arbitration consistent with the provisions of Section 11.3.
     6.4 Forfeiture for Competition. If the Committee finds, after full consideration of the facts presented on behalf of the Company and a Participant, that the Participant, at any time within two years following his termination of employment from all Companies and without written consent of a Company, directly or indirectly owns, operates, manages, controls or participates in the ownership (other than through ownership of less than 5% of the voting equity securities or other interests of a publicly traded entity), management, operation or control of or is employed by, or is paid as a consultant or other independent contractor by a business which competes with the Company, and if the Participant continues to be so engaged sixty (60) days after written notice has been given to him: (a) the Participant shall, upon the demand of the Committee, repay to Valero the full amount of the payment previously made to the Participant hereunder; or (b) if the Participant has not yet received the payment of his vested Accrued Benefit, the Participant and any Surviving Spouse shall forfeit any rights under this Plan and shall not be entitled to receive any benefit hereunder.
     6.5 Expenses Incurred in Enforcing the Plan. Valero will pay a Participant for all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by him in successfully contesting or disputing his termination of employment by a Company or in successfully seeking to obtain or enforce any benefit provided by this Plan if such termination occurs or a benefit is payable following a Change in Control.
     6.6 No Restrictions on any Portion of Benefits Determined to be Excess Parachute Payments. Notwithstanding that any benefit received or to be received by a Participant in connection with a Change in Control, or the termination of his employment by a Company, would not be deductible, whether in whole or in part, by a Company or any affiliated company, as a result of Section 280G of the Code, the benefit payable under this Plan shall nevertheless not be reduced.
     6.7 Benefits Upon Re-employment. If a former employee who received a benefit under this Plan for his past service is re-employed by the Company, and participates in the Plan during such period of re-employment, the amount of his benefit upon his subsequent Retirement will be based on his total Credited Service, and will be reduced by the amount of the previous payment made hereunder.
ARTICLE VII
ADMINISTRATION
     7.1 Committee Appointment. The members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors shall serve as the Committee; provided, that the Board of Directors will have the sole discretion to remove any one or more Committee members and appoint one or more

8


 

replacement or additional Committee members from time to time. Each Committee member will serve until his or her resignation or removal.
     7.2 Committee Organization and Voting. The Committee shall be organized and shall conduct its business in accordance with the bylaws of Valero, provided, however, that a member of the Committee who is also a Participant will not vote or act on any matter relating to himself or which is otherwise reasonably likely to enhance the benefits payable to such Participant hereunder.
     7.3 Powers of the Committee. The Committee will have the exclusive responsibility for the general administration of this Plan according to the terms and provisions of this Plan and will have all powers necessary to accomplish those purposes, including but not by way of limitation the right, power and authority:
     (a) to make rules and regulations for the administration of this Plan;
     (b) to construe all terms, provisions, conditions and limitations of this Plan;
     (c) to correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency that may appear in this Plan;
     (d) to determine all controversies relating to the administration of this Plan, including but not limited to:
     (1) differences of opinion arising between a Company and a Participant except when the difference of opinion relates to the entitlement to, the amount of or the method or timing of payment of a benefit affected by a Change of Control, in which event it shall be decided only pursuant to arbitration as set forth in Section 11.3, and
     (2) any question it deems advisable to determine in order to promote the uniform administration of this Plan for the benefit of all interested parties; and
     (e) to delegate powers of investment and administration, as well as those clerical and recordation duties of the Committee, as it deems necessary or advisable for the proper and efficient administration of this Plan.
     7.4 Committee Discretion. The Committee in exercising any power or authority granted under this Plan or in making any determination under this Plan may use its sole discretion and judgment. Any decision made or any act or omission, by the Committee in good faith shall be final and binding on all parties and, except as otherwise set forth in Sections 6.4, 6.5 and 7.3(d)(1), shall not be subject to de novo review.
     7.5 Reliance Upon Information. The Committee will not be liable for any decision or action taken in good faith in connection with the administration of this Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any decision or action taken by the Committee when it relies upon information supplied it by any officer of the Company, the Company’s legal counsel, the

9


 

Company’s actuary, the Company’s independent accountants or other advisors in connection with the administration of this Plan will be deemed to have been taken in good faith.
     7.6 Approval of Benefit Modifications. The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of Valero shall have authority to approve enhancements to the Credited Service, or other modifications to the benefits, of any Participant or prospective Participant under the Plan in connection with the employment, retention, retirement or termination of a Participant; provided however, that any such modification made with respect to the benefits of the CEO or President of Valero shall be recommended to and approved by the Board of Directors.
ARTICLE VIII
ADOPTION BY SUBSIDIARIES
     8.1 Procedure for and Status After Adoption. Any Subsidiary of Valero at the date of adoption of this Plan, and any entity becoming a Subsidiary of Valero after such date of adoption, may adopt this Plan by appropriate action of its board of directors or other governing body. Any power reserved under this Plan to the Company may be exercised separately by each such Subsidiary adopting the Plan; provided, however, that (i) powers reserved under this Plan to the Board of Directors or the Committee shall be exercised only by the Board of Directors of Valero or Committee thereof and (ii) powers reserved under this Plan to Valero shall be exercised only by Valero. Each Subsidiary adopting the Plan delegates to Valero exclusive administrative responsibility for the Plan. However, Valero may allocate the costs of Plan benefits among the Companies in any reasonable manner such that each Company shall bear the costs of participation by those Participants who are or were employees of such Company. Each Subsidiary, by adopting this Plan, and in consideration of the like undertakings of the other adopting Subsidiaries, agrees that the obligations and liabilities of the Company(ies) for the payment of benefits to any Participants (and to any person claiming through a Participant) hereunder shall be the joint and several obligation of each Subsidiary adopting the Plan, not solely of the Company employing or previously employing a Participant. Accordingly, each such adopting Subsidiary agrees that, to the extent permitted under-Section 10.4, each Participant (and any person claiming through a Participant) shall have recourse and a right of action to enforce benefits payable under this Plan against any and all Companies contemporaneously participating in the Plan during the period of such Participant’s Credited Service.
     8.2 Termination of Participation By Adopting Subsidiary. Any Subsidiary adopting this Plan may, by appropriate action of its board of directors or other governing body, terminate its participation in this Plan. The Committee may, in its discretion, also terminate a Subsidiary’s participation in this Plan at any time. The termination of the participation in this Plan by a Subsidiary will not, however, affect the rights of any Participant who is working or has worked for the Subsidiary as to benefits previously vested under Article III of this Plan.
     8.3 Spinoff Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective as of July 1, 2006, all benefits accrued under this Plan with respect to Participants employed by NuStar Energy, LLC, formerly, Valero GP, LLC (“NuStar”) were spun off into a separate plan sponsored by NuStar, now known as the NuStar Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“NuStar SERP”). In this regard, effective as of July 1, 2006, NuStar established what is now known as the NuStar

10


 

Pension Plan, a defined benefit plan qualified under Code section 401(a), which will provide benefits to eligible employees of NuStar with respect to service earned by eligible employees of NuStar and its participating affiliated companies from and after July 1, 2006. It is the intent of the Company that the NuStar SERP assumed the current liabilities of this Plan with respect to such Participants, and shall provide a single supplemental benefit to such employees that is based upon the benefits such Participant receives under the Valero Pension Plan, as well as the NuStar Pension Plan. From and after July 1, 2006, employees of NuStar who had been participating in this Plan ceased participating in this Plan. This Plan shall have no liability of any kind to such individuals. Additionally, from and after July 1, 2006, NuStar ceased being a participating Subsidiary under this Plan.
ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENT AND/OR TERMINATION
     9.1 Amendment or Termination of the Plan. The Committee may amend or terminate this Plan at any time by an instrument in writing without the consent of any Company.
     9.2 No Retroactive Effect on Annual Benefits. No amendment will affect the rights of any Participant to the Retirement benefit provided in Article IV previously accrued by the Participant or will change a Participant’s rights under any provision relating to a Change of Control after a Change of Control has occurred without his consent. However, the Board of Directors retains the right at any time to change in any manner the Retirement benefit provided in Article IV but only as to accruals after the date of the amendment.
     9.3 Effect of Termination. If this Plan is terminated, the accrued benefit of all Participants shall immediately become fully vested, and the benefit of each Participant (determined as of the date of the Plan termination and calculated in the manner provided in this Plan) shall, except as provided in Section 9.4, be paid at the time it would otherwise be paid under the terms of the Plan.
     9.4 Effect of Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the accrued benefit of all Participants in the Plan shall immediately become fully vested. Additionally, the Committee may, within the period beginning thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, and ending twelve (12) months after the effective date of the Change in Control, make an irrevocable decision to terminate the Plan (and all deferred compensation plans maintained by Valero which must be aggregated with the Plan under Code section 409A) and distribute all benefits to Participants. In the event of such termination following a Change in Control, the accrued benefits of each Participant (determined as of the date of Plan termination and calculated in the manner provided for in this Plan) shall be distributed in the form of a lump sum payment within twelve (12) months following the termination of this Plan. In the absence of such Plan termination, a Change in Control shall not alter the time and manner of the payment of benefits hereunder, and all benefits shall be paid at the time and in the manner as they would otherwise be paid in accordance with the provisions of this Plan.

ARTICLE X
FUNDING
     10.1 Payments from Trust. As set forth in Section 8.1, the Companies are jointly and severally liable to pay the benefits due under this Plan; however should they fail to do so when a benefit is due, the Participant, Surviving Spouse or other person entitled to payment of a benefit hereunder may apply for payment of such benefit to the Trustee of the Trust, which shall pay such benefit in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement. In any event, if the Trust fails to pay for any reason, the Companies shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment of all benefits provided by this Plan.
     10.2 Plan May Be Funded Through Life Insurance. It is specifically recognized that Valero may, but is not required to, purchase life insurance so as to accumulate assets sufficient to fund obligations under this Plan and that Valero may, but is not required to contribute any policy or policies it may purchase and any amount it finds desirable to the Trust or any other trust established to accumulate assets to fund obligations under this Plan. However, under all circumstances, the Participants will have no rights in or to any such policies.
     10.3 Required Funding of Rabbi Trust. Subject to any limitations under applicable law, Valero will make contributions of cash or other assets sufficient to fund the Trust on an actuarially sound basis so as to ensure that at all times assets within the Trust equal or exceed the Actuarial Equivalent of Accrued Benefits of all Participants under the Plan, assuming the Accrued Benefits to be fully vested (whether they are or not). As of the end of each Plan Year, Valero shall cause the actuary who last performed the annual actuarial evaluation of the Valero Pension Plan, to determine the Actuarial Equivalent of the Accrued Benefits of all Plan Participants, assuming the Accrued Benefits to be fully vested (whether they are or not) as of the end of the preceding Plan Year. This annual determination shall be performed by the actuary, as soon as practicable following the close of the Plan Year, and the actuary shall prepare and provide to Valero a written report detailing the Accrued Benefits of the Participants. If such report shows that the Plan assets are less than the Actuarial Equivalent of the Accrued Benefits, then Valero, commencing within 60 days of receipt of the written report from the actuary, shall, subject to any limitations under applicable law, contribute to the Trust (which contribution may be made, at Valero’s sole discretion, in up to four quarterly installments, the last such installment to be made not later than December 31 of the Plan Year during which, such report is received) such assets that it may choose in its sole discretion in an amount necessary to ensue that the sum of (i) the fair market value of the Trust assets as of the end of such preceding Plan Year, and (ii) the fair market value of such contributions as of the date each such contribution is made, equals or exceeds the Actuarial Equivalent of the Accrued Benefits of all Participants so reported, assuming the Accrued Benefits to be fully vested (whether they are or not) as of the end of the prior Plan Year. All Participants shall be entitled to a copy of the report prepared by the actuary and likewise shall be furnished a schedule of Trust assets reflecting Valero’s satisfaction of its funding obligation under this Section 10.3, such report to be furnished to each Plan Participant within 30 days following the due date of Valero’s final contribution to the Trust for the Plan Year, if any may be required for the particular Plan Year.

12


 

     10.4 Ownership of Assets; Release. All policies of insurance or other assets contributed to the Trust (or to any other trust established for the purpose of funding benefits hereunder) pursuant to Sections 10.2, 10.3 or otherwise shall be contributed by Valero, and all such policies or other assets shall be owned solely by Valero immediately prior to such contribution. No Company, other than Valero, shall contribute policies or assets to the Trust. As an internal accounting matter, as between Valero and the other Companies, Valero may charge or allocate all or any part of such contributions to other Companies in any reasonable manner determined by Valero in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may record the amounts so allocated as obligations owing among Valero and such Companies. Valero may also allocate or distribute assets received by it from the Trust pursuant to Section 10.5 hereof to other Companies in any reasonable manner determined by Valero in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. However, notwithstanding the fact that a Company may be deemed to have a claim against Valero with respect to such contributions or distributions, no Company (other than Valero) shall at any time own or be deemed to own or have any contingent, reversionary or other beneficial interest in any portion of the policies and other assets held in the Trust or any claim, against the Trustee or otherwise, with respect thereto. Each Company (other than Valero), by its adoption of this Plan, and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, for itself, its successors, assigns, representatives, administrators, trustees and other persons claiming by, through or under such Company, hereby irrevocably and forever releases and relinquishes (i) any and all rights, claims and interests (beneficial, reversionary, actual, contingent or otherwise), known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, which it has or may have, or may hereafter have, in or with respect to the Trust, the Trust Fund (as such term is defined in the Trust Agreement) and the policies and assets now or hereafter from time to time contributed or contributable thereto, held therein or thereby, or distributable therefrom or thereby, and (ii) any claim, demand, action or cause of action whatsoever which it has or may have, or may hereafter have, against the Trustee, its successors or assigns, with respect thereto.
     10.5 Reversion of Excess Assets. Assets held pursuant to the Trust shall not be loaned to any Company. However, Valero may, at any time, request the actuary who last performed the annual actuarial valuation of the Valero Pension Plan to determine the Actuarial Equivalent of the Accrued Benefits, assuming the Accrued Benefits to be fully vested (whether they are or not), as of the end of the previous Plan Year. If the fair market value of the assets held in the Trust, as determined by the actuary, exceeds the Actuarial Equivalent of the Accrued Benefits of all such Participants by not less than 25%, then Valero may direct the Trustee to return to Valero that part of the assets which is in excess of 125% of the Actuarial Equivalent of the Accrued Benefits. Following the termination of the Plan and the final distribution of all Accrued Benefits and the full satisfaction of all obligations of the Plan and the Trust, any remaining assets in the Trust shall revert to Valero.
     10.6 Repurchase of Valero Stock. In order to facilitate diversification of Plan assets, Valero shall be entitled, from time to time, upon notice to the Trustee, to repurchase shares of Valero equity securities held in the Trust. Such repurchases shall be made for cash or in exchange for other assets having a fair market value, as determined by the Trustee, equal to the fair market value of such Valero securities at such date of purchase.
     10.7 Participants Must Rely Only on General Credit of the Companies. The provisions of Sections 10.2 and 10.3 notwithstanding, it is specifically recognized by the

13


 

Companies and the Participants that this Plan is an unsecured corporate commitment and that each Participant (and any Surviving Spouse or other person claiming through a Participant) must rely upon the general credit of the Companies for the fulfillment of their obligations under this Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan or in the Trust Agreement will constitute a representation, covenant or guarantee by any Company that the policies and assets transferred to the Trust (or any other trust established for the purpose of funding benefits hereunder) or the general assets of such Company (or Companies) will be sufficient to pay any or all benefits under this Plan Neither this Plan nor the Trust creates any secured or priority position, preferential right, lien, claim, encumbrance, right, title or other interest of any kind in any Participant in any policy or other asset held by any Company, contributed to the Trust (or any other trust established for the purpose of funding benefits hereunder) or otherwise designated to be used for payment of any obligations created in this Plan. No policy or other specific asset of any Company has otherwise been or will be set aside, or has been or will be pledged in any way for the performance of obligations under this Plan, which would remove the policy or asset from being subject to the claims of the general creditors of the respective Company. The Trust Agreement (and any other agreement entered into to fund obligations under this Plan) shall specify that, with respect to their benefits under this Plan, the Participants (and any Surviving Spouse or other person claiming through a Participant) are only unsecured general creditors.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
     11.1 Responsibility for Distributions and Withholding of Taxes. Valero shall calculate the amount of any distribution payable to a Participant hereunder, and the amounts of any deductions required with respect to federal, state or local tax withholding, and shall withhold or cause the same to be withheld. However, any and all taxes payable with respect to any distribution or benefit hereunder shall be the sole responsibility of the Participant, not of Valero or any Company, whether or not Valero or any Company shall have withheld or collected from the Participant any sums required to be so withheld or collected in respect thereof and whether or not any sums so withheld or collected shall be sufficient to provide for any such taxes. Without limitation of the foregoing, and except as may otherwise be provided in any separate employment, severance or other agreement between the Participant and any Company, the individual Participant or Surviving Spouse, as the case may be, shall be solely responsible for payment of any excise, income or other tax imposed (i) upon any payment hereunder which may be deemed to constitute an “excess parachute payment” pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, or (ii) based upon any theory of “constructive receipt” of any lump-sum or other amount hereunder.
     11.2 Limitation of Rights. Nothing in this Plan will be construed:
     (a) to give a Participant or other person claiming through him any right with respect to any benefit except in accordance with the terms of this Plan or an agreement modifying rights under this Plan;
     (b) to limit m any way the right of the Company to terminate a Participant’s employment with the Company at any time;

     f. That a Company has discharged or in any manner discriminated against the Participant because the Participant in good faith filed a claim, hired a lawyer to represent him or her in a claim, instituted, or caused to be instituted, in good faith, any proceeding under the Plan or the TWCA, or has testified in any such proceeding.

Funds or other appropriate security shall be posted by each party for its share of the Arbitrator’s fee, in an amount and manner determined by the Arbitrator, ten (10) days before the first day of hearing. Each party shall pay for its own cost and attorneys fees, if any. However, if any parry prevails on a statutory claim which affords the prevailing party attorney’s fees, or if there is a written agreement providing for fees, the Arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party.
     F. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive the termination of Participant’s employment. It can only be revoked or modified by a writing signed by the parties which specifically states an intent to revoke or modify the provisions of this Section 11.3.
     G. Should one or more provisions of this Section 11.3 be rendered or declared invalid by reason of any existing or subsequently enacted legislation, or by a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidation of such provision or provisions hereof shall not affect the remaining portions of this agreement to arbitrate.
     H. Any arbitration proceeding commenced under this Section 11.3 shall, to the extent practicable, be consolidated with any arbitration proceeding relating to the same or similar facts and circumstances between the Trustee and Valero pursuant to the Trust Agreement.
     11.4 Distributions to Incompetents. Should a Participant or a Surviving Spouse be incompetent at the time any payment is due hereunder, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, Valero is authorized to make such payment to the guardian or conservator of the

16


 

incompetent Participant or Surviving Spouse or directly to the Participant or Surviving Spouse or to apply those funds for the benefit of the incompetent Participant or Surviving Spouse in any manner the Committee determines in its sole discretion.
     11.5 Nonalienation of Benefits. No right or benefit provided in this Plan will be transferable by the Participant, except upon his death to a Surviving Spouse as provided in this Plan. No right or benefit under this Plan will be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge the same will be void. No right or benefit under this Plan will in any manner be liable for or subject to any debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to such benefits. If any Participant or any Surviving Spouse becomes bankrupt or attempts to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any right or benefit under this Plan, that right or benefit will, in the discretion of the Committee, cease. In that event, the Committee may have Valero hold or apply the right or benefit or any part of it to the benefit of the Participant or Surviving Spouse, his or her spouse, children or other dependents or any of them in any manner and in any proportion the Committee believes to be proper in its sole and absolute discretion, but is not required to do so.
     11.6 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Plan is held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, the rest of this Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
     11.7 Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to a Company, the Committee or a Participant will be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered or sent by U.S. mail to the principal office of Valero, acting on behalf of the Company or Committee, or to the residential mailing address of the Participant. Notice will be deemed to be given as of the date of hand delivery or if delivery is by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark.
     11.8 Gender and Number. If the context requires it, words of one gender when used in this Plan will include the other gender, and words used in the singular or plural will include the other.
     11.9 Governing Law. The Plan will be construed, administered and governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Texas.
     11.10 Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, this amendment and restatement of the Plan is effective as of January 1, 2008.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Valero has executed this amendment and restatement of the Plan effective as of the Effective Date provided for herein.

6.   Administration of the Plan.
  (a)   Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee, as appointed and constituted from time to time by the Board so long as the Compensation Committee is composed solely of two or more “Non-Employee Directors” (as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act). In the event the Compensation Committee shall fail to meet the foregoing criteria, then additional or different persons shall be appointed by the Board for purposes of administering this Plan so that the committee administering this Plan shall be composed solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors (as defined in Rule 16b-3).

  (iv)   Select, employ and compensate, from time to time, consultants, accountants, attorneys and other agents and employees as the Compensation Committee may deem necessary or advisable for the proper and efficient administration of this Plan.
  (c)   The foregoing list of express powers granted to the Compensation Committee upon the adoption of this Plan is not necessarily intended to be either complete or exclusive, and the Compensation Committee shall, in addition to the specific powers granted by this Plan, have such powers not inconsistent with the Plan or Rule 16b-3, whether or not expressly authorized herein, which it may deem necessary, desirable, advisable, proper, convenient or appropriate for the supervision and administration of this Plan. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the decisions and judgment of the Compensation Committee on any question or claim arising hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Participants and all persons claiming by, through or under a Participant.
 
  (d)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee shall have no authority to exercise discretion with respect to the selection of any Non-Employee Director as a Participant in the Plan, the determination of the number of Restricted Shares that are allocated to any such Non-Employee Director or the terms or conditions of any such allocation, and shall have no authority to amend any provision of the Plan relating to eligibility for participation in the Plan, the amount or timing of grants under the Plan or the imposition or removal of restrictions on the vesting of Restricted Shares.
 
  (e)   Distributions of Shares may, as the Compensation Committee shall in its sole discretion determine, be made from authorized but unissued Shares or from treasury or reacquired Shares.

  (b)   The Restriction Period for Restricted Shares granted to a Non-Employee Director shall end and the Restricted Shares and any related Retained Distributions shall become nonforfeitable on the earlier of any of the following events:
  (i)   The date a Non-Employee Director ceases to be a Director of the Company by reason of the Mandatory Retirement Policy;
 
  (ii)   The date a Non-Employee Director completes his or her tenure as a Director of the Company as provided in the bylaws of the Company and declines to stand for reelection;
 
  (iii)   The date a Non-Employee Director, having been nominated for and having agreed to stand for reelection, is not reelected by the stockholders of the Company to serve as a member of the Board;
 
  (iv)   The date of the death of a Non-Employee Director;
 
  (v)   The date a Non-Employee Director certifies in writing to the Company that he or she is resigning as a member of the Board due to medical or health reasons which render such Non-Employee Director unable to continue to serve as a member of the Board;
 
  (vi)   Subject to the provisions of and definitions contained in Paragraph 7(f), the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Company; or
 
  (vii)   The date specified in Paragraph 7(c).

  (i)   with respect to (A) any grant of Restricted Shares under Paragraph 5(b), and (B) any first-time grant of Restricted Shares under Paragraph 5(a) to a Non-Employee Director, the Restriction Period for one-third of such Restricted Shares shall terminate on the date of the first Annual Meeting following the Grant Date, the Restriction Period for another one-third of such Restricted Shares shall terminate on the date of the second Annual Meeting following the Grant Date, and the Restriction Period for the final one-third of such Restricted Shares shall terminate on the date of the third Annual Meeting following the Grant Date;

-5-


 

  (iii)   with respect to any third-time grant of Restricted Shares under Paragraph 5(a) to such Non-Employee Director, the Restriction Period for such Restricted Shares shall terminate on the date of the first Annual Meeting following the Grant Date; and
 
  (iv)   with respect to any subsequent grant of Restricted Shares under Paragraph 5(a) to such Non-Employee Director, no Restriction Period shall apply to such Restricted Shares and such shares shall immediately vest and accrue on the Grant Date.
  (d)   Restricted Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the vesting of the Restricted Shares will be issued in uncertificated form, pursuant to the Direct Registration System (“DRS”) or similar system for recording the issuance and transfer of uncertificated shares of Common Stock that is administered by the Company’s stock transfer agent.
 
  (e)   Restricted Shares shall constitute issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for all corporate purposes. The Non-Employee Director will have the right to vote such Restricted Shares, to receive and retain all regular cash dividends paid on such Restricted Shares and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to such Restricted Shares, with the exception that:
  (i)   the Non-Employee Director will not be entitled to delivery of a stock certificate or a designation of “unrestricted” status in the DRS until the Restriction Period applicable to such Restricted Shares shall have expired and all other vesting requirements with respect thereto shall have been fulfilled;
 
  (ii)   other than cash dividends and rights to purchase stock which might be distributed to shareholders of the Company, the Company will retain custody of all distributions (“Retained Distributions”) made or declared with respect to Restricted Shares (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were made, paid or declared) until such time, if ever, as the Restriction Period applicable to the Restricted Shares with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid or declared shall have expired, and such Retained Distributions shall not bear interest or be segregated in separate accounts;
 
  (iii)   upon the breach of any restrictions, terms or conditions provided in the Plan with respect to any Restricted Shares or Retained Distributions, such Restricted Shares and any related Retained Distributions shall thereupon be automatically forfeited.

  (C)   the Company will be liquidated or dissolved; or

-6-


 

  (ii)   any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) other than the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company or its subsidiaries, or any entity holding Common Stock for or pursuant to the terms of such employee benefit plans, is or becomes an “Acquiring Person” as defined in the Rights Agreement dated June 18, 1997 (“Rights Agreement”) between the Company and Computershare Investor Services, L.L.C., as Rights Agent (successor Rights Agent to Harris Trust and Savings Bank), as amended (or any successor Rights Agreement) (or, if no Rights Agreement is then in effect, such person or group acquires or holds such number of shares as, under the terms and conditions of the most recent such Rights Agreement to be in force and effect, would have caused such person or group to be an “Acquiring Person” thereunder); or
 
  (iii)   any “person” or “group” shall commence a tender offer or exchange offer for 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding, or for any number or amount of shares which, if the tender or exchange offer were to be fully subscribed and all shares for which the tender or exchange offer is made were to be purchased or exchanged pursuant to the offer, would result in the acquiring person or group directly or indirectly beneficially owning 50% or more of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding; or
 
  (iv)   individuals who, as of any date, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) thereafter cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person or group other than the Board; or
 
  (v)   the occurrence of the Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement); or
 
  (vi)   any other event determined by the Board or the Committee to constitute a “Change of Control” hereunder.
8.   Forfeiture, Completion of Restriction Period.
  (a)   If a Non-Employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason other than as set forth in Paragraph 7(b), then all Restricted Shares and all Retained Distributions with respect thereto issued to such Non-Employee Director and to which the Restriction Period still applies shall be forfeited to the Company and the Non-Employee Director shall not have any rights (including dividend and voting rights) with respect to such forfeited Restricted Shares and Retained Distributions.
 
  (b)   Upon expiration of the Restriction Period with respect to a Non-Employee Director’s Restricted Shares, and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions, such Restricted Shares and any Retained Distributions with respect to such Restricted Shares shall become nonforfeitable. The Company shall promptly thereafter direct the Company’s stock transfer agent to redesignate such shares in the Non-Employee Director’s DRS account as “issued and unrestricted” Shares.
 
  (c)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if the Committee finds by a majority vote, that the Participant, before or after termination of his or her capacity as a Non-Employee

-7-


 

      Director of the Company, committed fraud, embezzlement, theft, commission of felony, or proven dishonesty in the course of his or her relationship to the Company and/or a Subsidiary of the Company which conduct damaged the Company and/or a Subsidiary of the Company, or disclosed trade secrets of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, then all Restricted Shares and all Retained Distributions with respect thereto issued to such Participant to which the Restriction Period still applies shall be forfeited to the Company and the Participant will have no further rights with respect thereto. The decision of the Committee will be final.
9.     Adjustment in Event of Changes in Common Stock. In the event of a recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, liquidation or other similar event, the aggregate number and class of Restricted Shares and other securities or property available for grant under the Plan shall be automatically adjusted so that the total number of Restricted Shares or other securities or property issuable under the Plan immediately following such event shall be the number of shares of Common Stock and other securities or property which, had all remaining shares of Common Stock available under the Plan been granted to a single holder immediately prior to such event, would be held or received by such holder immediately following such event.
10.   Non-Alienation of Benefits. No Shares, Retained Distributions, or other rights or benefits under the Plan or any Restricted Shares Agreement shall be subject, prior to the end of any applicable Restriction Period or other restrictive period, to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, hypothecation, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumbrance or charge (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), and any such attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same shall be void. No Shares, Retained Distributions, or other rights or benefits under the Plan shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to such right or benefit. If any Non-Employee Director or other person claiming by, through or under a Non-Employee Director hereunder should attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge any Shares, Retained Distributions, or any right or benefit hereunder, prior to the end of any applicable Restriction Period or other restrictive period, then such Restricted Shares and related Retained Distributions shall be automatically forfeited and such rights or benefits shall cease and terminate.
11.   Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact. Upon the grant of any Restricted Sharesthe Non-Employee Director shall be deemed to have appointed the Company, acting through its Corporate Secretary, the attorney-in-fact of the Non-Employee Director, with full power of substitution, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Plan and taking any action and executing any instruments which such attorney-in-fact may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest. The Company as attorney-in-fact for the Non-Employee Director may, in the name and stead of the Non-Employee Director, make and execute all conveyances, assignments and transfers of the Restricted Shares and Retained Distributions deposited with the Company or its stock transfer agent pursuant to the Plan. The Non-Employee Director shall, if so requested by the Company, execute and deliver to the Company all such instruments as may, in the judgement of the Company, be advisable for such purpose.
12.   Withholding Taxes.
   (a)   At the time any Restricted Shares become nonforfeitable under the Plan (or, if at the time of receipt the Participant shall not be subject to taxation with respect to such Shares, at such later date as such Participant becomes subject to taxation with respect to such Shares; whichever such date is applicable being referred to herein as the “tax date”), the Participant

-8-


 

      shall make a cash payment to the Company equal to the amount required by applicable provisions of law to be withheld by the Company in connection with federal income tax, FICA and all other federal, state and local taxes in respect of such Shares (or such greater amount as the Participant shall elect to have withheld in respect of such taxes; whichever such amount is applicable being referred to herein as the “tax amount”), provided that subject to the prior approval of the Committee, the Participant may elect that all or any portion of the tax amount be collected by withholding from the number of Shares otherwise to be delivered to the Participant that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the tax date equal to all or any portion of the amount otherwise to be collected subject to any limitations prescribed by applicable law, in all cases, only that number of whole Shares the Fair Market Value of which does not exceed the tax amount shall be withheld or delivered and the Participant shall make a cash payment to the Company equal to any excess amount to be withheld or collected. In lieu of the foregoing withholding procedure, a Participant, subject to the prior approval of the Committee, may satisfy the tax withholding or collection requirement by delivering to the Company on the tax date certificates for other Shares already owned by the Participant, endorsed in blank with appropriate signature guarantee, having a Fair Market Value on the tax date equal to the tax amount. All taxes payable with respect to income of a Participant resulting from the grant or issuance of any Shares hereunder shall be the sole responsibility of the Participant, not of the Company, whether or not the Company shall have withheld or collected from the Participant any sums required to be so withheld or collected in respect of such income, and whether or not any sums so withheld or collected shall be sufficient to provide for any such taxes. The determination of any tax resulting from the award or vesting of Shares or from cash or other distributions with respect to Shares or Retained Distributions shall be the sole responsibility of the Participant.
  (b)   To the extent permitted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a Non-Employee Director granted Restricted Shares may elect (which, apart from any other notice required by law, shall require that the Non-Employee Director notify the Company of such election at the time it is made) within 30 days after the Grant Date to include in gross income for federal income tax purposes an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares at the Grant Date.
13.   Amendment and Termination of Plan. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 6(d), the Compensation Committee may at any time terminate, modify or amend the Plan as it shall deem advisable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shareholder approval shall be obtained for any action with respect to the Plan to the extent required by applicable state or federal rules, regulations or laws. No termination or amendment of the Plan shall adversely affect the rights of any Non-Employee Director under any grant previously made.
14.   [reserved]
15.   Government and Other Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the obligations of the Company with respect to Restricted Shares or Retained Distributions shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and such approvals by any governmental agencies as may be required or deemed appropriate by the Company. The Company reserves the right to delay or restrict, in whole or in part, the issuance or delivery of Common Stock pursuant to any grants of Restricted Shares or Retained Distributions under the Plan until such time as any legal requirements or regulations shall have been met relating to the issuance of such Restricted Shares or Retained Distributions.

-9-


 

16.   No Right to Nomination. Nothing in the Plan or in any grant shall confer upon any Director the right be nominated for reelection to the Board.
17.   Non-Exclusivity of Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Compensation Committee nor any submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Compensation Committee or the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the awarding of Common Stock otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements as may be either generally acceptable or applicable in specific cases.
18.   Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas.
19.   Miscellaneous Provisions.
  (a)   Except as to automatic grants to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof, no employee or other person shall have any claim or right to be granted Shares under this Plan.
 
  (b)   The expenses of the Plan shall be born by the Company.
 
  (c)   By accepting any grant under the Plan, each Non-Employee Director and each personal representative or beneficiary and each other person claiming by, through or under such Non-Employee Director shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated his or her acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the Plan by the Company, the Board or the Compensation Committee.
 
  (d)   [reserved].
 
  (e)   Each grant of Restricted Shares to any person serving at the Grant Date as a Non-Employee Director shall be in consideration of past services of the Participant. Each grant of Restricted Shares to a person who was not serving as a Non-Employee Director prior to the Grant Date shall be in consideration of such person’s agreement to stand for election as or be considered for appointment as a Non-Employee Director and to serve as such if so elected or appointed. Each such grant shall be deemed to constitute a conclusive finding by the Board that such services or agreement, as applicable, have a value equal to or in excess of the value of such Restricted Shares, and constitute payment in full therefor. All authorized and unissued shares issued as Restricted Shares in accordance with the Plan shall be fully paid and nonassessable shares and free from preemptive rights. No Restricted Shares shall be issued for consideration having a value less than the par value of the Common Stock.
