XXXXXX OIL AND GAS COMPANY, now known as TYLER HOLDING COMPANY, INC., as

TEXAS, INC., as "Buyers".
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Seller and Buyers entered into that certain Refinery Purchase and
Sale Agreement dated as of March 14, 2005 (the "Original Agreement"), pursuant
to which Seller agreed to sell to Buyers and Buyers agreed to purchase from
Seller, among other assets, an oil refinery located in the City of Tyler, Xxxxx
County, Texas; and
WHEREAS, the Original Agreement was amended by that certain Amendment to
Refinery Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of April 29, 2005, by and among
Seller and Buyers (the "First Amendment"); and
WHEREAS, at the request of Buyers, Crown Central LLC, a Maryland limited
liability company ("Crown"), the direct or indirect parent limited liability
company of Seller, has entered into an Audit Agreement of even date herewith
(the "Audit Agreement") with Delek US Holdings, Inc. pursuant to which Crown has
agreed to cooperate with Delek US Holdings, Inc. in allowing a certain audit of
Crown's financial statements for the calendar year ending December 31, 2002 to
date; and
1
WHEREAS, as partial consideration for and as a condition precedent to
entering into such Audit Agreement, Crown has required the execution of this
Second Amendment by the parties hereto. (Capitalized terms otherwise not defined
herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Original
Agreement.)
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. The Original Agreement, as heretofore amended by the First Amendment (as
so amended, the "Amended Agreement") is hereby further amended as follows:
(a) The term "Agreement" as set forth in the preamble to the Original
Agreement is hereby amended to mean the Original Agreement, as amended by
the First Amendment and by this Second Amendment.
The term "Unqualified Audit Opinion" shall mean an opinion from Delek
US Holdings, Inc.'s outside auditor that expresses no material
concerns about the financial information from Crown that relates to
the Assets transferred to the Buyers and that is incorporated into any
financial documents prepared for the initial public offering of Delek
US Holdings, Inc. It is understood by the Parties hereto that the
outside auditor intends to perform a "review" rather than a full audit
of Crown's financial information for the period from January 1, 2005
to March 31, 2005.
The term "Seller's Specifically Retained Liabilities" means: (i) the
Retained Environmental Liabilities other than Retained Remediation
Costs; (ii) the Pre-Closing Liabilities; (iii) claims made by Buyers
arising

out of a breach of the representations and warranties specified in
Sections 4.1 (a), 4.1(b), 4.1(c), 4.1(m) and 4.1(o); (iv) all Covered
Liabilities arising under or in connection with any Excluded Assets;
and (v) all Taxes to the extent indemnified against under Section
15.1(b).
(b) Section 9.14(a) of the Amended Agreement is hereby deleted and
replaced with the following:
"Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section
9.14, on the Closing Date Buyers shall cause a portion of the

"Closing Deposit") to be deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant
to the terms and provisions of an escrow agreement by and among
Buyers, Seller and the Escrow Agent substantially in the form
attached hereto as EXHIBIT 9.14 (the "Closing Deposit Escrow
Agreement"). For income tax purposes, Seller shall include in its
income any interest, dividends and other amounts earned on the
Closing Deposit ("Closing Deposit Escrow Earnings") prior to
disbursement of the Closing Deposit to Seller. The Closing
Deposit shall be held and distributed by the Escrow Agent in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Closing Deposit
Escrow Agreement. If the Closing occurs, Buyers agree to provide
written notice to Seller of any intent to withdraw from the

indemnification under Section 15.1 of this Agreement; and if
Seller fails, within thirty
3
(30) days following receipt of such notice from Buyers, to
provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to allow
Buyers to withdraw such funds from the Closing Deposit, then
Buyers may submit the dispute to be resolved by dispute
resolution set forth in Section 16.12. On the date of any
distribution to Seller by the Escrow Agent of funds from the
Closing Deposit, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to Seller the
Closing Deposit Escrow Earnings on such distribution. Except for
Seller's Specifically Retained Liabilities (as defined herein),
Seller's liability for indemnification under Section 15.1 and for
any other liability under this Agreement, whether for breach of
contract, breach of warranty, liability for indemnity or any
other liability under this Agreement, is limited to the Closing
Deposit and otherwise shall be non-recourse to Seller.
In addition, if Delek US Holdings, Inc. receives an Unqualified

Agreement, the Closing Deposit shall be distributed to Seller in

from January 1, 2005 to March 31, 2005 (the "Audit Period") an
amount equal to the positive difference if any, of $3,000,000
minus the sum of (x) all Distributions, if any, made prior to
such date and (y) the aggregate dollar amount of all Unresolved
Buyer Claims, if any, existing as of such date; and
(ii) upon the earlier to occur of (1) April 1, 2006 (or the
date upon which Delek US Holdings, Inc. receives an Unqualified

5
Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and provisions of an escrow
agreement by and among Buyers, Seller and the Escrow Agent
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9.15 (the

Refinery Buyer shall include in its income any interest,
dividends and other amounts earned on the Buyer Deposit. The
Buyer Deposit shall be held and distributed by the Escrow Agent
in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Buyer Deposit
Escrow Agreement. If the Closing occurs, Seller agrees to provide
written notice to Buyers of any intent to withdraw from the Buyer
Deposit to satisfy any claims of Seller for indemnification under

specifically excluding the Seller's Specifically Retained
Liabilities, Seller's liability under this Agreement for breach

other liability under this Agreement, shall be limited to the
Closing Deposit and Buyers agree to look solely to such Closing
Deposit for satisfaction of all such obligations and liabilities
of Seller under this Agreement (other than the Seller's
Specifically Retained Liabilities). At such time as the Closing
Deposit is fully distributed to Seller pursuant to Section
