     This SECOND AMENDMENT TO REFINERY PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT AND INDEMNITY
AGREEMENT dated as of October 10, 2005 (the "Second Amendment") by and among LA
GLORIA OIL AND GAS COMPANY, now known as TYLER HOLDING COMPANY, INC., as
"Seller" and DELEK REFINING, LTD., DELEK PIPELINE TEXAS, INC. and DELEK LAND
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, Smith

     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

     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

          Costs; (ii) the Pre-Closing Liabilities; (iii) claims made by Buyers
          arising

          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
               Adjusted Purchase Price in the amount of $5,000,000.00 (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
               Closing Deposit to satisfy any claims of Buyers for
               indemnification under Section 15.1 of this Agreement; and if
               Seller fails, within thirty

               (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
               Audit Opinion (as defined herein), and subject to and in
               accordance with the provisions of the Closing Deposit Escrow
               Agreement, the Closing Deposit shall be distributed to Seller in
               installments at the indicated times, as follows:
