INTRODUCTION
The Valero L.P. Annual
Bonus Plan (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") has been
established for the purpose of providing bonus compensation to eligible
designated employees of Valero GP, LLC and its Affiliates (hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Company"). The Company intends and desires to
create individual performance incentive by providing bonus compensation awards
based upon individual contributions to Company profitability by eligible
designated employees. Such bonus compensation is intended to encourage levels
of individual performance that will assure focus by employees on continued
Company profitability. It is further intended that when added to other forms of
compensation the bonus compensation awards will result in total compensation to
employees in amounts that are competitive when Company performance is compared
to peer organizations.
