VALERO GP, LLC

EXCESS PENSION PLAN

The Valero GP, LLC Excess Pension Plan (hereinafter referred to as the “Excess Pension Plan” or the “Plan”) is hereby established effective July 1, 2006 (“Effective Date”) for the purpose of providing benefits to those employees of Valero GP, LLC and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company”) whose pension benefits under the Valero GP, LLC Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”) and the Valero Energy Corporation Pension Plan (“Prior Pension Plan”) are subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or are otherwise indirectly constrained by the Code from realizing the maximum benefit available to them under the terms of the Pension Plan and the Prior Pension Plan.

The Excess Pension Plan is an “excess benefit plan” as defined under §3(36) of The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), for those benefits provided in excess of Section 415 of the Code. Benefits provided as a result of other statutory limitations are limited to a select group of management or other highly compensated employees. The Excess Pension Plan is not intended to constitute either a qualified plan under the provisions of Section 401 of the Code or a funded plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

The Plan is being established in connection with a spin-off from the Valero Energy Corporation Excess Pension Plan (“Predecessor Excess Pension Plan”) of the benefits accrued under the Predecessor Excess Pension Plan as of the Effective Date with respect to eligible Employees of the Company. In this connection, it is the intent of the Company that this Plan not

Valero GP, LLC Excess Pension Plan 1

constitute a new nonqualified deferred compensation plan, but rather merely the assumption and continuation of the Predecessor Excess Pension Plan, effective as of July 1, 2006, with respect to eligible Employees of the Company who have accrued a benefit under the Predecessor Excess Pension Plan. The original effective date of the Predecessor Excess Pension Plan was January 1, 1995.

The Company has established the Pension Plan, effective as of July 1, 2006, to provide defined benefit pension benefits to eligible Employees of the Company, with respect to future service. Effective as of July 1, 2006, eligible Employees of the Company will cease accruing additional benefits under the Prior Pension Plan and the Predecessor Excess Pension Plan. It is the intent of the Company that this Plan shall assume the liabilities of the Predecessor Excess Pension Plan as of July 1, 2006, with respect to eligible Employees of the Company, and shall provide a single, nonqualified excess defined benefit to eligible Employees for their pre-July 1, 2006 benefit accruals under the Predecessor Excess Pension Plan and their post-July 1, 2006 benefit accruals under this Plan.

It is the intent of the Company and Valero Energy Corporation (“VEC”) that this Plan be maintained by the Company for the benefit of eligible employees of the Company and that, from and after the date hereof, this spin-off plan and the Company shall be solely liable for all benefits due such eligible Employees under this Plan and the Predecessor Excess Pension Plan.
