benefits and responsibilities of PDV America, the original common parent; and,
WHEREAS, the parties to the Agreement desire to revoke certain provisions of the
First Amendment to Tax Allocation Agreement effective January 1, 1997.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
Exhibit 10.13(i)
1. Section 12 of the Agreement (as amended by First Amendment to Tax
Allocation Agreement), Survival of the Group, is hereby invoked
effective as of January 1, 1997 with PDV Holding becoming the
common parent and, therefore, PDV Holding is hereby substituted
for PDV America wherever it appears in the Agreement. PDV Holding
will receive all the benefits and assume all the liabilities that
PDV America, as common parent, would have received or borne under
the Agreement, had there been no change in the common parent of
the PDV America Group. As common parent, PDV Holding hereby agrees
to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
2. PDV America, no longer the common parent of the affiliated group,
will, effective January 1, 1997, become a member under the
Agreement as that term is defined in Section 1(a) of the
Agreement. As a member, PDV America hereby agrees to be bound by
all the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
3. PDV Chalmette will, effective October 17, 1997, become a member
under the Agreement as that term is defined in Section 1(a) of the
Agreement. As a member, PDV Chalmette hereby agrees to be bound by
all the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
4. PDV Sweeny will, effective August 21, 1998, become a member under
the Agreement as that term is defined in Section 1(a) of the
Agreement. As a member, PDV Sweeny hereby agrees to be bound by
all the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
5. PDV Texas will, effective August 21, 1998, become a member under
the Agreement as that term is defined in Section 1(a) of the
Agreement. As a member, PDV Texas hereby agrees to be bound by all
the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
6. The affiliated group of corporations consisting of PDV Holding,
PDV Chalmette, PDV Sweeny, PDV Texas, PDV America, VPHI, PDV USA
and CITGO will hereafter be referred to as the PDV Holding Group
for all purposes of the Agreement.
7. Sections 8(a) and (b) of the Agreement (as amended by First
Amendment to Tax Allocation Agreement) are hereby revoked
effective January 1, 1997. Therefore, no reclassification entries
(as required by Section 8(a) and (b)) will be made for any and all
tax years subsequent to the 1996 tax year.
8. The reclassifications previously recorded between CITGO and PDV
America for those years in which PDV America was the common parent
(i.e., tax years 1992 through 1996) will remain as recorded until
required to be reversed as
Exhibit 10.13(i)
described in Section 8(c) of the Agreement (as amended by First
Amendment to Tax Allocation Agreement).
9. The non-cash contribution recorded in December 1998 related to the
1997 tax year will be reversed, consistent with the revocation of
Sections 8 (a) and (b) as discussed above.
10. The non-cash dividend recorded in December 1999 related to the
1998 tax year will be reversed, consistent with the revocation of
Sections 8 (a) and (b) as discussed above.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties duly execute this amendment as of the date first
written above.
