                               FIRST AMENDMENT TO
                       UNION TEXAS PETROLEUM SAVINGS PLAN
                             FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES


         WHEREAS, UNION TEXAS PETROLEUM HOLDINGS, INC. (the "Company") and
other Employing Companies have heretofore adopted and maintained the UNION
TEXAS PETROLEUM SAVINGS PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES (the "Plan") for the
benefit of their eligible employees; and

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Plan on behalf of itself and
the Employing Companies;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan shall be amended as follows, effective as of
January 1, 1989:

         1.   Section 3.1(e) of the Plan shall deleted and the following shall
be substituted therefor:

                          "(e)   In further restriction of the Members'
         elections provided in Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above, it is
         specifically provided that one of the 'actual deferral percentage'
         tests set forth in section 401(k)(3) of the Code and the Treasury
         Regulations thereunder must be met in each Plan Year.  For purposes of
         the actual deferral percentage tests, 'compensation' is defined as the
         total of all amounts paid by the Company to or for the benefit of a
         Member for services rendered or labor performed for the Company while
         a Member, which are required to be reported on the Member's federal
         income tax withholding statement or statements (Form W-2 or its
         subsequent equivalent).  If multiple use of the alternative limitation
         (within the meaning of section 401(m)(9) of the Code and Treasury
         Regulations Section 1.401(m)-2(b)) occurs during a Plan Year such
         multiple use shall be corrected in accordance with the provisions of
         Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(c); provided, however, that if
         such multiple use is not eliminated by making Employer Safe Harbor
         Contributions, then the 'actual contribution percentages' of all
         Highly Compensated Employees participating in the Plan shall be
         reduced, and the excess contributions distributed, in accordance with
         the provisions of Section 3.8(c) and Section 3.8(d), and applicable
         Treasury Regulations so that there is no such multiple use."

         2.   Section 3.5 of the Plan shall deleted and the following shall be
substituted therefor:

                "3.5   RESTRICTIONS ON COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS.  In restriction
         of the Company Contributions hereunder, it is specifically provided
         that one of the 'actual contribution percentage' tests set forth in
         section 401(m) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder
         must be met in each Plan Year.  For purposes of the actual
         contribution percentage tests, 'compensation' is defined as the total
         of all amounts paid by the Company to or for the benefit 
   2
        
         of a Member for services rendered or labor performed for the Company
         while a Member, which are required to be reported on the Member's
         federal income tax withholding statement or statements (Form W-2 or
         its subsequent equivalent).  The Committee may elect, in accordance
         with applicable Treasury Regulations, to treat Cash or Deferred
         Contributions to the Plan as Company Matching Contributions for the
         purposes of meeting this requirement.
        
         3.   Section 3.8(b) of the Plan shall be deleted and the following
shall be substituted therefor:

                          "(b)   Anything to the contrary herein
         notwithstanding, if, for any Plan Year, the aggregate Cash or Deferred
         Contributions made by the Company on behalf of Highly Compensated
         Employees exceeds the maximum amount of Cash or Deferred Contributions
         permitted on behalf of such Highly Compensated Employees pursuant to
         Section 3.1(e) (determined by first reducing the Cash or Deferred
         Contributions made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employees with
         the highest 'actual deferral percentage' (as that term is defined in
         section 401(k)(3)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
         thereunder) to the extent necessary to satisfy the restrictions of
         Section 3.1(e) or to cause such Highly Compensated Employees' actual
         deferral percentage to equal the actual deferral percentage of the
         Highly Compensated Employees with the next highest actual deferral
         percentage and then continuing in such manner until the restrictions
         set forth in Section 3.1(e) are satisfied), such excess shall be
         distributed to the Highly Compensated Employees on whose behalf such
         excess was contributed before the end of the next following Plan Year.
         For purposes of this Paragraph, the determination and correction of
         excess Cash or Deferred Contributions of a Member whose actual
         deferral percentage is determined under the family aggregation rules
         of sections 401(k) and 414(q) of the Code shall be made in accordance
         with the provisions of such sections and the Treasury Regulations
         thereunder based upon such Member's Cash or Deferred Contributions in
         proportion to the total Cash or Deferred Contributions of all family
         members used to determine the actual deferral percentage."

         4.   Section 3.8(g) of the Plan shall be deleted and the following
shall be substituted therefor:

                          "(c)  Anything to the contrary herein 
         notwithstanding, if, for any Plan Year, the aggregate Company
         Contributions allocated to the Accounts of Highly Compensated 
         Employees exceeds the maximum amount of such Company Contributions 
         permitted on behalf of such Highly Compensated Employees pursuant to
         Section 3.5 (determined by first reducing the Company Contributions
         made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employees with the highest
         'actual contribution percentage' (as that term is defined in section
         401(m)(3) of the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder) to the
         extent necessary to satisfy the restrictions of Section 3.5 or to cause
         such Highly Compensated Employees' contribution percentage to equal the
         contribution percentage of the Highly Compensated Employees with the
         next highest contribution percentage and then continuing 

                                     -2-
   3
        
         in such manner until the restrictions set forth in Section 3.5 are
         satisfied), such excess shall be distributed to the Highly Compensated
         Employees on whose behalf such excess contributions were made (or, if
         such excess contributions are forfeitable, they shall be forfeited)
         before the end of the next following Plan Year.  For purposes of this
         Paragraph, the determination and correction of excess Company
         Contributions allocated to the Accounts of a Member whose contribution
         percentage is determined under the family aggregation rules of
         sections 401(m) and 414(q) of the Code shall be made in accordance
         with the provisions of such sections and the Treasury Regulations
         thereunder based upon such Member's Company Contributions in
         proportion to the total Company Contributions allocated to the
         Accounts of all family members used to determine the actual
         contribution percentage.  Company Contributions shall be forfeited
         pursuant to this Paragraph only if distribution of all vested Company
         Contributions is insufficient to meet the requirements of this
         Paragraph.  If vested Company Contributions are distributed to a
         Member and nonvested Company Contributions remain credited to such
         Member's Accounts, such nonvested Company Contributions shall vest at
         the same rate as if such distribution had not been made."
        
         5.   Section 17.2(d) of the Plan shall be deleted and the following
shall be substituted therefor:

                          "(d)  In the case of a total or partial termination
         of the Plan, and in the absence of a Plan amendment to the contrary,
         the Trustee shall pay the balance of the Accounts of a Member for whom
         the Plan is terminated to such Member, subject to the time of payment,
         manner of payment and consent provisions of Article X; provided,
         however, that any distribution under sections 401(k)(2)(B) and
         401(k)(10) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder shall
         be paid in a lump sum distribution."

         6.   The last sentence in Section 20.4 of the Plan shall be deleted.

         7.   As amended hereby, the Plan is specifically ratified and
reaffirmed.


         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused these presents to be 
executed on this 28th day of April, 1995.
