LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the shares of the Company's Common Stock being offered hereby has been passed upon for the Company by Todd Walker, Esq., Managing Attorney and Corporate Secretary for the Company. Mr. Walker beneficially owns shares of the Common Stock of the Company. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The By-laws of the Company provide that the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted or required by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), as amended from time to time, provided, however, that except insofar as the Company's By-laws provide indemnification for an officer or director with respect to a proceeding initiated by such officer or director to enforce rights to indemnification, officers and directors will not be entitled to indemnification in connection with proceedings initiated by an officer or director if the initiation of such proceedings was not authorized by the board of directors of the Company. Section 145 of the DGCL provides, in general, that each director and officer of a corporation may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any threatened, pending, or completed legal proceedings in which he is involved by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company, if he acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. If the legal proceeding, however, is by or in the right of the Company, the director or officer may not be indemnified in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which he shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company unless a court determines otherwise. The Company's By-laws also provide for advances in certain circumstances covering expenses incurred by an officer or director of the Company in connection with the defense of a proceeding for which such officer or director would be entitled to indemnity under the Company's By-laws. The Company's By-laws further provide that the Company may procure and maintain insurance covering director's and officer's liability for their actions in those capacities, whether or not the Company would be entitled to provide indemnification for such liability under the DGCL. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that the personal liability of the directors of the Company shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The DGCL permits a corporation's certificate of incorporation to provide that no director of the corporation shall be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of his fiduciary duty as a director; provided, however, that such provision shall not apply to any liability of a director (1) for any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions that are not in good faith or involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with the directors and certain officers of the Company providing for indemnification on the terms set out in the By-laws of the Company.

(included in Exhibit 5.1) 24.1 Power of Attorney of the Company 24.2 Powers of Attorney of Directors and Officers of the Company 24.3 Powers of Attorney of members of the Ultramar Diamond Shamrock Corporation Employee Benefits Committee Item 9. Undertakings. A. The Company hereby undertakes: (1) to file during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement (a) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), (b) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement (except to the extent covered by reports filed under the 1934 Act and incorporated herein by reference), and (c) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. B. The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act and each filing of the Plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Company is advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the 1933 Act, the Company certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8/A and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of San Antonio, Texas, on the 3rd day of October, 2000.
