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.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 included in these Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements is derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 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, 2007. As discussed in Note 3, the assets and liabilities related to the Krotz Springs Refinery, including inventory sold by our marketing and supply subsidiary associated with this transaction, have been reclassified as held for sale as of December 31, 2007.

See Note 3 for a discussion of the presentation in the statements of income of the results of operations of the Krotz Springs Refinery and the Lima Refinery, which were sold effective July 1, 2008 and July 1, 2007, respectively.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our 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. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

2. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

FASB Statement No. 157
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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, but does not require any new fair value measurements. Statement No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. 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. FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 (FSP No. FAS 157-2), issued in February 2008, delayed the effective date of Statement No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We adopted Statement No. 157 effective January 1, 2008, with the exceptions allowed under FSP No. FAS 157-2, the adoption of which has not affected our financial position or results of operations but did result in additional required disclosures, which are provided in Note 9. The exceptions apply to the following: nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value in a business combination; impaired property, plant and equipment; goodwill; and the initial recognition of the fair value of asset retirement obligations and restructuring costs. We do not expect any significant impact to our consolidated financial statements when we implement Statement No. 157 for these assets and liabilities.

FASB Statement No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” 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. The adoption of Statement No. 159 effective January 1, 2008 has not materially affected our financial position or results of operations.

FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007)
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (Statement No. 141R). This statement improves the financial reporting of business combinations and clarifies the accounting for these transactions. The provisions of Statement No. 141R are to be applied prospectively to business combinations with acquisition dates on or after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. Due to its application to future acquisitions, the adoption of Statement No. 141R effective January 1, 2009 will not have any immediate effect on our financial position or results of operations.

FASB Statement No. 160
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51.” Statement No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. This statement provides guidance for the accounting and reporting of noncontrolling interests, changes in controlling interests, and the deconsolidation of subsidiaries. In addition, Statement No. 160 amends FASB Statement No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” to specify the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for earnings per share if an entity has one or more noncontrolling interests. The adoption of

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Statement No. 160 effective January 1, 2009 is not expected to materially affect our financial position or results of operations.

FASB Statement No. 161
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” Statement No. 161 establishes, among other things, the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. This statement requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about contingent features related to credit risk in derivative agreements. Statement No. 161 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2008. Since Statement No. 161 only affects disclosure requirements, the adoption of Statement No. 161 will not affect our financial position or results of operations.

FASB Statement No. 162
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” Statement No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. Statement No. 162 is effective November 15, 2008. The adoption of Statement No. 162 will not affect our financial position or results of operations.

FSP No. EITF 03-6-1
In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (FSP No. EITF 03-6-1). FSP No. EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method described in Statement No. 128. FSP No. EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2008; early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of FSP No. EITF 03-6-1 effective January 1, 2009 is not expected to materially affect our calculation of earnings per common share.

FSP No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4
In September 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161” (FSP No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4). FSP No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 amends FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to require disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including those embedded in hybrid instruments. FSP No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 also amends FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” to require disclosure about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee. Additionally, FSP No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 clarifies the FASB’s intent that disclosures required by FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” should be provided for any reporting period beginning after November 15, 2008. The provisions of FSP No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 that amend Statement No. 133 and Interpretation No. 45 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, ending after November 15, 2008. Since FSP No. FAS 133-1 and

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

FIN 45-4 only affects disclosure requirements, the adoption of FSP No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 effective December 31, 2008 will not affect our financial position or results of operations.

FSP No. FAS 157-3
In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (FSP No. FAS 157-3). FSP No. FAS 157-3 applies to financial assets within the scope of accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements in accordance with Statement No. 157. FSP No. FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of Statement No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP No. FAS 157-3 is effective upon issuance and is to be applied to prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. We have adopted FSP No. FAS 157-3 effective October 10, 2008 and have applied its provisions to our financial statements for the third quarter of 2008. The adoption of FSP No. FAS 157-3 has not materially affected our financial position or results of operations.

3. DISPOSITIONS

Sale of Krotz Springs Refinery
On May 8, 2008, we entered into an agreement to sell our refinery in Krotz Springs, Louisiana to Alon Refining Krotz Springs, Inc. (Alon), a subsidiary of Alon USA Energy, Inc. As a result, the assets and liabilities related to the Krotz Springs Refinery as of December 31, 2007 have been presented in the consolidated balance sheet as “assets held for sale” and “liabilities related to assets held for sale,” respectively. The nature and significance of our post-closing participation in the offtake agreement described below represents a continuation of activities with the Krotz Springs Refinery for accounting purposes, and as such the results of operations related to the Krotz Springs Refinery have not been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income for any of the periods presented.

Effective July 1, 2008, we consummated the sale of our Krotz Springs Refinery to Alon. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $305 million ($170 million after tax), which is presented in “gain on sale of Krotz Springs Refinery” in the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. Cash proceeds, net of certain costs related to the sale, were $463 million, including approximately $135 million from the sale of working capital to Alon primarily related to the sale of inventory by our marketing and supply subsidiary. In addition to the cash consideration received, we also received contingent consideration in the form of a three-year earn-out agreement based on certain product margins, which had a fair value of $171 million as of July 1, 2008. We have hedged the risk of a decline in the referenced product margins by entering into certain commodity derivative contracts.

In connection with the sale, we also entered into the following agreements with Alon:

	•		an agreement to supply crude oil and other feedstocks to the Krotz Springs Refinery through September 30, 2008, which was subsequently extended until November 30, 2008;
	•		an offtake agreement under which we agreed to (i) purchase all refined products from the Krotz Springs Refinery for three months after the effective date of the sale, (ii) purchase certain products for an additional one to five years after the expiration of the initial three-month period of the agreement, and (iii) provide certain refined products to Alon that are not produced at the Krotz Springs Refinery for an initial term of 15 months and thereafter until terminated by either party; and

•

a transition services agreement under which we agreed to provide certain accounting and administrative services to Alon, with the services terminating by July 31, 2009. Substantially all of these services have been transitioned to Alon as of October 31, 2008.

Sale of Lima Refinery
Effective July 1, 2007, we sold our refinery in Lima, Ohio to Husky Refining Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Husky Energy Inc., resulting in a pre-tax gain of $827 million ($426 million after tax). As a result, the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 reflect the gain on the sale as well as operations related to the Lima Refinery prior to its sale in “income from discontinued operations, net of income tax expense.” Financial information related to the Lima Refinery operations prior to its sale, excluding the gain on the sale, was as follows (in millions):

On February 1, 2008, we redeemed our 9.50% senior notes for $367 million, or 104.75% of stated value. These notes had a carrying amount of $381 million on the date of redemption, resulting in a gain of $14 million that was included in “other income, net” in the consolidated statement of income. In addition, in March 2008, we made a scheduled debt repayment of $7 million related to certain of our other debt.

In June 2008, we entered into a one-year committed revolving letter of credit facility under which we may obtain letters of credit of up to $300 million. In July 2008, we entered into another one-year committed revolving letter of credit facility under which we may obtain letters of credit of up to $275 million. Both of these credit facilities support certain of our crude oil purchases. We are being charged letter of credit issuance fees in connection with these letter of credit facilities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we borrowed and repaid $296 million under our revolving bank credit facility. As of September 30, 2008, we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facilities or our short-term uncommitted bank credit facilities.

As of September 30, 2008, we had $456 million of letters of credit outstanding under our uncommitted short-term bank credit facilities and $767 million of letters of credit outstanding under our committed revolving credit facilities, excluding our Canadian facility. Under our Canadian committed revolving credit facility, we had Cdn. $16 million of letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2008.

6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Treasury Stock
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we purchased 14.6 million and 68.9 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $774 million and $4.8 billion, respectively, in connection with the administration of our employee benefit plans and common stock purchase programs authorized by our board of directors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we issued 1.3 million shares from treasury at an average cost of $66.93 per share, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we issued 12.4 million shares from treasury at an average cost of $61.65 per share, for our employee benefit plans.

In October 2008, we purchased 8.4 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $181 million.

On February 28, 2008, our board of directors approved a new $3 billion common stock purchase program. This program is in addition to the remaining amount under the $6 billion program previously authorized. This new $3 billion program has no expiration date. As of September 30, 2008, we had made no purchases of our common stock under the new $3 billion program. As of September 30, 2008, we have approvals under these stock purchase programs to purchase approximately $3.6 billion of our common stock.

Common Stock Dividends
On October 16, 2008, our board of directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share payable on December 10, 2008 to holders of record at the close of business on November 12, 2008.

7. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Earnings per common share from continuing operations were computed as follows (dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts):

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2008				2007				2008				2007
Earnings per common share from continuing operations:

Earnings per common share from continuing operations – assuming dilution		$	2.18			$	1.34			$	4.02			$	6.66

Approximately 7 million outstanding stock options were not included in the computation of dilutive securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 because the options’ exercise prices

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

were greater than the average market price of the common shares during the reporting periods, and therefore the effect of including such options would be anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive stock options outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

8. 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):

		Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2008				2007
Decrease (increase) in current assets:
Restricted cash		$	(90	)		$	–
Receivables, net			1,120				(1,999	)
Inventories			(842	)			(695	)
Income taxes receivable			–				32
Prepaid expenses and other			(6	)			(88	)
Increase (decrease) in current liabilities:
Accounts payable			476				1,310
Accrued expenses			32				90
Taxes other than income taxes			(77	)			(4	)
Income taxes payable			(232	)			474
Changes in current assets and current liabilities		$	381			$	(880	)

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;
	•		previously accrued capital expenditures, deferred turnaround and catalyst costs, and contingent earn-out payments are reflected in investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows;
	•		amounts accrued for common stock purchases in the open market that are not settled as of the balance sheet date are reflected in financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows when the purchases are settled and paid;
	•		changes in assets held for sale and liabilities related to assets held for sale pertaining to the operations of the Krotz Springs Refinery and the Lima Refinery prior to their sales are reflected in the line items to which the changes relate in the table above; 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.

Noncash investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 included the contingent consideration received in the form of the earn-out agreement related to the sale of the Krotz Springs

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Refinery discussed in Note 3. There were no other significant noncash investing or financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

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 the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Cash provided by operating activities related to our discontinued Lima Refinery operations was $260 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Cash used in investing activities related to the Lima Refinery was $14 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Cash flows related to interest and income taxes were as follows (in millions):

		Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2008				2007
Interest paid (net of amount capitalized)		$	187			$	152
Income taxes paid (net of tax refunds received)			1,092				1,813

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

As discussed in Note 2, we adopted Statement No. 159 effective January 1, 2008, but have not made any significant fair value elections with respect to any of our eligible assets or liabilities. Also as discussed in Note 2, effective January 1, 2008, we adopted Statement No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy (Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3) based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, and expands disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.

Pursuant to the provisions of Statement No. 157, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. We use appropriate valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair values of our assets and liabilities. When available, we measure fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The table below presents information (dollars in millions) about our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the inputs utilized by us to determine the fair values as of September 30, 2008. These assets and liabilities have previously been measured at fair value in accordance with existing GAAP, and our accounting for these assets and liabilities was not impacted by our adoption of Statement No. 157 and Statement No. 159.

The valuation methods used to measure our financial instruments at fair value are as follows:

	•		Commodity derivative contracts, consisting primarily of exchange-traded futures and swaps, are measured at fair value using the market approach pursuant to the provisions of Statement No. 157. Exchange-traded futures are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Swaps are priced using third-party broker quotes, industry pricing services, and exchange-traded curves, but since they have contractual terms that are not identical to exchange-traded futures instruments with a comparable market price, these financial instruments are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
	•		Nonqualified benefit plan assets and certain nonqualified benefit plan liabilities are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quotations from national securities exchanges and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
	•		The Alon earn-out agreement, which we received as partial consideration for the sale of our Krotz Springs Refinery as discussed in Note 3, is measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow model and is categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Significant inputs to the model include expected payments and discount rates that consider the effects of both credit risk and the time value of money.

A $17 million obligation to pay cash collateral to brokers under master netting arrangements is netted against the fair value of the commodity derivatives reflected in Level 1. Certain of our commodity derivative contracts under master netting arrangements include both asset and liability positions. Under the guidance of FASB Staff Position No. FIN 39-1, “Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39,” we have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty, including any related cash collateral asset or obligation.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances (in millions) for fair value measurements developed using significant unobservable inputs. Because the Alon earn-out agreement did not arise until the third quarter of 2008, this reconciliation is applicable to both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Beginning balance		$	–
Net unrealized losses included in earnings			(14	)
Alon earn-out agreement (see Note 3)			171
Transfers in and/or out of Level 3			–
Balance as of September 30, 2008		$	157

Unrealized losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, which relate to a Level 3 asset still held at the reporting date, are reported in “other income, net” in the consolidated statements of income. These unrealized losses were offset by the recognition in “other income, net” of gains on derivative instruments entered into to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of the Alon earn-out agreement as discussed in Note 3.

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								Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2008				2007				2008				2007
Fair value hedges		$	2			$	3			$	4			$	1
Cash flow hedges			(1	)			(17	)			(11	)			(23	)

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 nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized in “other comprehensive income” unrealized after-tax losses of $38 million on certain cash flow hedges, primarily related to forward sales of distillates and forward purchases of crude oil, with $13 million of cumulative after-tax gains on cash flow hedges remaining in “accumulated other comprehensive income” as of September 30, 2008. We expect that the deferred gains as of September 30, 2008 will be reclassified into “cost of sales” over the next 15 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 nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, there were no amounts reclassified from “accumulated other comprehensive income” into income as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Accounts Receivable Sales Facility
As of December 31, 2007, we had an accounts receivable sales facility with a group of third-party entities and financial institutions to sell on a revolving basis up to $1 billion of eligible trade receivables. The facility had a maturity date of August 2008. In June 2008, we amended our agreement to extend the maturity date to June 2009. We use this program as a source of working capital funding. Under this program, one of our marketing subsidiaries (Valero Marketing) sells eligible receivables, without recourse, to another of our subsidiaries (Valero Capital), whereupon the receivables are no longer owned by Valero Marketing. Valero Capital, in turn, sells an undivided percentage ownership interest in the eligible receivables, without recourse, to the third-party entities and financial institutions. To the extent that Valero Capital retains an ownership interest in the receivables it has purchased from Valero Marketing, such interest is included in our consolidated financial statements solely as a result of the consolidation of the financial statements of Valero Capital with those of Valero Energy Corporation; the receivables are not available to satisfy the claims of the creditors of Valero Marketing or Valero Energy Corporation. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the amount of eligible receivables sold to the third parties was $100 million.

Contingent Earn-Out Agreements
In January 2008 and January 2007, we made previously accrued earn-out payments of $25 million and $50 million, respectively, related to the acquisition of the St. Charles Refinery. As of September 30, 2008, aggregate earn-out payments related to the St. Charles Refinery totaled $175 million, which was the aggregate limit under that agreement. As of September 30, 2008, we have no further commitments with respect to contingent earn-out agreements. However, see Note 3 and Note 9 for a discussion of a contingent receivable from Alon that relates to a three-year earn-out agreement received by us on the sale of our Krotz Springs Refinery.

Insurance Recoveries
During the first quarter of 2007, our McKee Refinery was shut down due to a fire originating in its propane deasphalting unit, resulting in business interruption losses for which we submitted claims to our insurance carriers under our insurance policies. We reached a settlement with the insurance carriers on our claims, resulting in pre-tax income of approximately $100 million in the first quarter of 2008 that was recorded as a reduction to “cost of sales.”

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. Many 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 as well as other reasons, we believe that exports by our Aruba Refinery should not be

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

subject to this turnover tax. Accordingly, no expense or liability has been recognized in our consolidated financial statements with respect to this turnover tax on exports. We have commenced arbitration proceedings with the Netherlands Arbitration Institute pursuant to which we will seek to enforce our rights under the tax holiday. We have also filed protests of these assessments through proceedings in Aruba. In April 2008, we entered into an escrow agreement with the GOA and Caribbean Mercantile Bank NV (CMB), pursuant to which we agreed to deposit an amount equal to the disputed turnover tax on exports into an escrow account with CMB, pending resolution of the tax protest proceedings in Aruba. Under this escrow agreement, we are required to continue to deposit an amount equal to the disputed tax on a monthly basis until the tax dispute is resolved through the Aruba proceedings. Amounts deposited under this escrow agreement, which totaled $91 million as of September 30, 2008, are reflected as “restricted cash” in our consolidated balance sheet.

In addition to the turnover tax described above, the GOA has also asserted other tax amounts aggregating approximately $25 million related to dividends and other tax items. We believe that the provisions of our tax holiday agreement exempt us from these taxes and, accordingly, no expense or liability has been recognized in our consolidated financial statements. These other tax amounts are also being addressed in the arbitration proceedings discussed above.

Keystone Pipeline
In July 2008, we entered into an agreement to participate as a prospective shipper on the 500,000 barrel-per-day expansion of the Keystone crude oil pipeline system, which is expected to be completed by 2012. Once completed, the pipeline will enable crude oil to be transported from Western Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast at Port Arthur, Texas. In addition to our commitment to ship crude oil through the pipeline, we have an option to acquire an equity interest in the Keystone partnerships. We have also secured commitments from several Canadian oil producers to sell to us heavy sour crude oil for shipment through the pipeline.

Litigation
MTBE Litigation

As of November 1, 2008, we were named as a defendant in 26 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. Previously we were named in an additional 59 cases, which were recently settled. Court orders confirming the settlement were entered in the third quarter of 2008.

Most of the remaining cases are pending in federal court and are 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). Discovery is open in all cases. One of the cases, City of New York, is set for trial on June 29, 2009. It is possible that two additional cases will be set for trial on that date. Two other cases, State of New Hampshire and People of the State of California, are pending in state court. We believe that we have strong defenses to all claims and are vigorously defending the remaining cases.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

We have recorded a loss contingency liability with respect to our MTBE litigation portfolio in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” However, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, we believe that it is reasonably possible (as defined in 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 the remaining 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 remaining cases cannot reasonably be made.

Retail Fuel Temperature Litigation
As of November 1, 2008, we were named in 21 consumer class action lawsuits relating to fuel temperature. We have been named in these lawsuits together with several other defendants in the retail petroleum marketing business. 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 monetary relief. In June 2007, the federal lawsuits were consolidated into a multi-district 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). Discovery has commenced. The court has scheduled briefing on class certification through 2008 and early 2009, although we believe that this schedule may be delayed further into 2009. 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 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.

Rosolowski
Rosolowski v. Clark Refining & Marketing, Inc., et al., Judicial Circuit Court, Cook County, Illinois (Case No. 95-L 014703). We assumed this lawsuit in our acquisition of Premcor Inc. The lawsuit relates in part to a 1994 release to the atmosphere of spent catalyst from the now-closed Blue Island, Illinois refinery. The case was certified as a class action in 2000 with three classes, two of which received nominal or no damages, and one of which received a sizeable jury verdict. That class consisted of local residents who claimed property damage or loss of use and enjoyment of their property over a period of several years. In 2005, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs of $80 million in compensatory damages and $40 million in punitive damages. However, following our motions for new trial and judgment notwithstanding the verdict (citing, among other things, misconduct by plaintiffs’ counsel and improper class certification), the trial judge in 2006 vacated the jury’s award and decertified the class. Plaintiffs appealed, and in June 2008 the state appeals court reversed the trial court’s decision to decertify the class and set aside the judgment. On August 4, 2008, we filed a petition for leave to appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court. While we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations, we have recorded a loss contingency liability with respect to this matter in accordance with Statement No. 5.
