                             QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.  Q:    Who is entitled to vote?
    A:    Shareholders as of the close of business on the record date,
          February 9, 2001, are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.  Q:    How do I cast my vote?
    A:    There are four different ways you may cast your vote this year.
          You may vote by:

            (1) telephone, using the toll-free number listed on each proxy
                card (if you are a shareholder of record) or vote instruction
                card (if your shares are held by a bank or broker);
            (2) the Internet, at the address provided on each proxy or vote
                instruction card;
            (3) marking, signing, dating, and mailing each proxy card or vote
                instruction card and returning it in the envelope provided. If
                you return your signed proxy or vote instruction card but do
                not mark the boxes showing how you wish to vote, your shares
                will be voted FOR the first four proposals and AGAINST the
                fifth proposal. For voting procedures for shares held in the
                Sunoco, Inc. Capital Accumulation Plan or "SunCAP," Sunoco's
                401(k) Plan for employees, see Question 9; or
            (4) attending the meeting (if your shares are registered directly
                in your name on Sunoco's books and not held through a broker,
                bank or other nominee).

            If you are the registered shareholder (that is, if you hold your
            stock in your name), you can vote by telephone or electronically
            through the Internet by following the instructions provided on the
            proxy card. You will need to use the individual control number
            that is printed on your proxy card in order to authenticate your
            ownership.

            If your shares are held in "street name" (that is, they are held
            in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee), or your shares
            are held in custody for your account by Bankers Trust Company, a
            subsidiary of Deutsche Bank, as trustee for SunCAP, you will
            receive instructions with your materials that you must follow in
            order to have your shares voted. Please check your proxy or voting
            instruction card to determine whether you will be able to vote by
            telephone or electronically.

            The deadline for voting by telephone or electronically is 11:59
            a.m. Eastern U.S. Time, May 2, 2001.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.  Q:    How do I revoke or change my vote?
    A:    To revoke or change your vote:

            (1) notify Sunoco's Corporate Secretary in writing at any time
                before the meeting;
            (2) submit a later dated proxy by mail, telephone, or via the
                Internet; or
            (3) vote in person at the meeting (if your shares are registered
                directly in your name on Sunoco's books and not held through a
                broker, bank, or other nominee).

            The latest dated, properly completed proxy that you submit whether
            by mail, telephone or the Internet will count as your vote. If a
            vote has been recorded for your shares and you submit a proxy card
            that is not properly signed or dated, the previously recorded vote
            will stand.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.  Q:    Who will count the vote?
    A:    Representatives of Independent Voting Services, an independent
          tabulator, will count the vote and act as the judge of election.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.  Q:    Is my vote confidential?
    A:    Proxy cards, vote instruction cards, telephone and Internet voting
          reports, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual
          shareholders are returned directly to Independent Voting Services
          and are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. As
          a registered shareholder or Non-Objecting Beneficial Owner, your
          vote will not be disclosed to Sunoco except: (1) as needed to
          permit Independent Voting Services to tabulate and certify the
          vote; (2) as required by law; or (3) in limited circumstances such
          as a proxy contest in opposition to the Board. Additionally, all
          comments written on the proxy or vote instruction card or
          elsewhere will be forwarded to Sunoco, but your identity will be
          kept confidential unless you specifically ask that your name be
          disclosed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.  Q:    What shares are included on the proxy or vote instruction card(s)?
    A:    The shares on your proxy or vote instruction card(s) represent
          those shares registered directly in your name, those held on
          account in Sunoco's Shareholder Access & Reinvestment Plan or
          "SHARP" and SunCAP shares. If you do not cast your vote, your
          shares (except for those in SunCAP) will not be voted. See
          Question 9 for an explanation of the voting procedure for shares
          in SunCAP.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                       4



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.  Q:    What does it mean if I get more than one proxy or vote instruction
          card?
    A:    If your shares are registered differently and are in more than one
          account, you will receive more than one card. Please complete and
          return all of the proxy or vote instruction cards you receive (or
          vote by telephone or the Internet) to ensure that all of your
          shares are voted.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.  Q:    How many shares can vote?
    A:    As of the February 9, 2001 record date, 84,779,786 shares of
          Sunoco common stock were issued and outstanding. Every shareholder
          of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held as of
          the record date.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9.  Q:    How is Sunoco common stock in SunCAP voted?
    A:    Voting instructions from SunCAP participants are maintained in the
          strictest confidence and will not be disclosed to Sunoco. If you
          hold shares of Sunoco common stock through SunCAP, you may vote by
          instructing the SunCAP trustee, Bankers Trust Company, a
          subsidiary of Deutsche Bank, how to vote your shares pursuant to
          the instruction card that is mailed to you with this Proxy
          Statement. If you do not provide voting instructions, or provide
          unclear voting instructions, then Bankers Trust will vote the
          shares in your SunCAP account in proportion to the way the other
          SunCAP participants voted their shares.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. Q:    What is a "quorum"?
    A:    A "quorum" is a majority of the outstanding shares. They may be
          present at the meeting or represented by proxy. There must be a
          quorum for the meeting to be held, and a proposal must receive
          more than 50% of the shares voting to be adopted. If you submit a
          timely, properly executed proxy or vote instruction card, then you
          will be considered part of the quorum, even if you abstain from
          voting.

          Abstentions: Abstentions are not counted in the tally of votes FOR
          or AGAINST a proposal. A WITHHELD vote is the same as an
          abstention. Abstentions and withheld votes are counted as shares
          present and entitled to be voted.

          Broker Non-Votes: Broker non-votes occur when shares held by a
          broker are not voted with respect to a proposal because (1) the
          broker has not received voting instructions from the shareholder,
          and (2) the broker lacks the authority to vote the shares at
          his/her discretion. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the
          outcome of any of the matters being voted upon at the meeting, and
          they are not counted as shares present and entitled to be voted
          with respect to the matter on which the broker has not voted
          expressly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11. Q:    Who can attend the Annual Meeting and how do I get a ticket?
    A:    All shareholders who owned shares on February 9, 2001 may attend.
          Just check the box on your proxy or vote instruction card, or as
          indicated on the Internet site, or press the appropriate key if
          voting by telephone. If your shares are held through a broker and
          you'd like to attend, please write to Ann C. Mule, Assistant
          General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Sunoco, Inc., 1801 Market
          Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-1699. Include a copy of your
          brokerage account statement or an omnibus proxy (which you can get
          from your broker), and we will send you a ticket.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12. Q:    How will voting on any other business be conducted?
    A:    Although we do not know of any business to be considered at the
          2001 Annual Meeting other than the proposals described in this
          proxy statement, if any other business is presented at the Annual
          Meeting, your signed proxy or vote instruction card, or your
          authenticated Internet or telephone proxy gives authority to John
          G. Drosdick, Sunoco's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and
          President and Ann C. Mule, Sunoco's Assistant General Counsel and
          Corporate Secretary, to vote on such matters at their discretion.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13. Q:    Do I have to continue receiving this information in the mail?
    A:    No, you can minimize the amount of information you receive through
          the mail:

            (1) If you are a registered shareholder:
                (a) Contact our transfer agent at 800-888-8494 and arrange to
                    receive only one copy of Sunoco's annual report and other
                    mailings during the year, regardless of the number of
                    accounts you have; or
                (b) Agree to access the annual report and proxy statement on
                    the Internet by completing the question regarding consent
                    included on your proxy or vote instruction card, on the
                    Internet site, or on the telephone. You will be notified
                    when you receive your proxy card that the materials are
                    available on our web site (www.SunocoInc.com).
            (2) If you hold shares through a stock broker: Contact your broker
                and arrange to receive one set of materials, or indicate your
                preference to access the documents on the Internet.

                        PROPOSALS ON WHICH YOU MAY VOTE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

  There are 13 nominees for election this year. Detailed information on each
  is provided on pages 17 to 20. All directors are elected annually, and
  serve a one-year term until the next Annual Meeting. If any director is
  unable to stand for re-election, the Board may reduce its size or designate
  a substitute. If a substitute is designated, proxy votes in favor of the
  original director candidate will be counted for the substituted candidate.

  Your Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR each of these directors.

2. APPROVAL OF THE SUNOCO, INC. EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN

  For a number of years, Sunoco has used its Executive Incentive Plan in
  order to facilitate the realization of identified business goals. The
  Executive Incentive Plan provides competitive incentive opportunities to
  employees who can significantly influence Sunoco's performance and improves
  Sunoco's ability to attract and motivate its management team. Sunoco
  intends to continue to use the Executive Incentive Plan to help meet its
  business goals. This year, Sunoco's Board of Directors proposes that you
  approve our existing Executive Incentive Plan so that if established goals
  and targets are met, certain payments that would be made under this plan to
  Sunoco's most highly compensated executive officers may be deducted by
  Sunoco for federal income tax purposes.

  Generally, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code does not permit
  publicly held companies like Sunoco to deduct compensation paid to certain
  executive officers to the extent it exceeds $1 million per officer in any
  year. However, a performance-based compensation plan that is approved by
  shareholders at least once every five years will not be subject to this
  deduction limit. So long as Sunoco complies with these and other
  requirements set forth in Code Section 162(m), all amounts paid to
  executive officers under the plan will qualify for a federal tax deduction
  by Sunoco.

   Summary Plan Description: The following is only a brief summary of the
   material terms of the plan, and does not describe all the terms of the
   plan. We urge you to read the complete text of the plan included as
   Exhibit A to this proxy statement.

   .  The purpose of the plan is to promote the achievement of Sunoco's
      short-term, targeted business objectives by providing competitive
      incentive reward opportunities to those executive employees who can
      significantly impact Sunoco's financial and operating performance. The
      plan is designed to enhance Sunoco's ability to attract and motivate
      individuals as members of a talented management team while aligning
      their interests with those of the shareholders.


                                       9


   .  The Compensation Committee of Sunoco's Board of Directors administers
      the plan. This Committee is composed entirely of outside directors of
      Sunoco, as defined under Code Section 162(m). None of the members
      receive any additional compensation from Sunoco for administering this
      plan. The plan will continue in effect until terminated by the
      Committee.

   .  Awards made under the plan may be based on the overall performance of
      the Company, and also may recognize business unit, team and/or
      individual performance. No payment will be made under the plan to the
      Chief Executive Officer or any of the next four most highly
      compensated executive officers, unless the Committee certifies that at
      least the minimum objective performance goals have been met. Such
      performance goals may include specific or relative targeted amounts
      of, or changes in: revenues; expenses; net income; operating income;
      equity; return on equity, assets or capital employed; working capital;
      shareholder return; operating capacity utilized; production or sales
      volumes or throughput; health, environment and safety goals; or other
      objective criteria.

   .  The Committee has the power to reduce the amount payable to, or to
      determine that no amount will be paid to, a participant. The Committee
      also may require that awards be paid in the form of Sunoco common
      stock if a participant has failed to meet the minimum stock ownership
      guidelines (as described on page 32). A total of 100,000 shares of
      Sunoco common stock has been reserved for this purpose.

   .  The amount of any award for any participant is defined by reference to
      a target percentage of actual base salary determined, from time to
      time, by the Committee. In the event that Sunoco achieves less than
      the target goals, but attains at least certain minimum threshold goals
      established by the Committee, participants in the plan will receive a
      portion of the target percentage. If Sunoco attains results that
      exceed the target goals established by the Committee, participants
      will receive a proportionately larger payment but in no event greater
      than two times the target percentage. In the event that Sunoco does
      not achieve at least the minimum threshold goals, no award payment
      will be made.

   .  The amount of future payments under the Executive Incentive Plan
      cannot be determined at this time, since they will be based on
      Sunoco's future financial and operating performance, and applicable
      future performance goals and target percentages to be established by
      the Committee.

  Your Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the approval of the Sunoco,
  Inc. Executive Incentive Plan.

                                      10


3. APPROVAL OF THE LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT PLAN II (LTPEP II)

  Sunoco's continued growth and profitability depends, in large part, upon
  its ability to maintain a competitive position in attracting and retaining
  key personnel. Long-term compensation is an integral part of the total
  compensation package. Therefore, Sunoco's Board of Directors proposes that
  you approve the LTPEP II (for which four million shares of Sunoco common
  stock will be reserved for issuance).

   Summary Plan Description: The purpose of the LTPEP II is to attract,
   retain and reward individuals who can and do contribute to Sunoco's
   success. Awards may be made to management and key employees as well as
   directors. The Compensation Committee, comprised entirely of outside
   directors of the Company as defined under Code Section 162(m),
   administers this plan. None of the members receive additional
   compensation from Sunoco for administering this plan. The following
   description of the LTPEP II is only a summary, and we urge you to read
   the complete text of the plan, which is included as Exhibit B to this
   proxy statement. The LTPEP II has the following types of awards and other
   terms:

   .  Stock Options and Incentive Stock Options. Each option will be
      exercisable during a period fixed by the Committee, beginning no
      earlier than one year, and ending no later than ten years, after the
      date of grant. Options may be transferred only by will, pursuant to
      the laws of descent and distribution, in response to a qualified
      domestic relations order, or during the participant's lifetime to an
      immediate family member (with certain restrictions). The purchase
      price payable upon exercise of an option will not be less than the
      fair market value of a share of Sunoco common stock on the date the
      option is granted. The purchase price may be paid in cash or in shares
      of Sunoco common stock. Upon termination of the participant's
      employment, unvested options will be canceled immediately, and vested
      options will be canceled ninety days after the date of the
      participant's termination (other than for just cause as defined in the
      plan). However, to the extent exercisable, options may be exercised
      for a period of up to sixty months following a termination of
      employment by reason of death, permanent disability or retirement, as
      determined by the Committee. The maximum number of options that may be
      granted to any single participant in any one calendar year will not
      exceed 400,000.

   .  Limited Rights. The Committee may grant related limited rights to any
      participant who has been awarded options under the LTPEP II. Limited
      rights are immediately exercisable in full upon grant for a period up
      to seven months following a change in control of Sunoco. Upon the
      exercise of limited rights, payment will be made in cash in an amount
      equal to the difference between the exercise price of the related
      option and the greater of (a) the highest price per share of Sunoco
      common stock paid in connection with the change in control or (b) the
      highest price per share of Sunoco common stock during the sixty-day
      period prior to the change in control. Exercise of limited rights
      reduces options held on a one-for-one basis. Generally, limited rights
      will terminate upon the participant's death or termination of
      employment unless such termination of employment is due to retirement
      or

                                      11


      disability, in which case the participant may exercise limited rights
      within six months of such termination to the extent they are
      exercisable. A participant whose employment is terminated for other
      than just cause, as defined in the plan, following a change in control
      of Sunoco, may exercise limited rights during the seven-month period
      following the change in control during the related option period.

   .  Common Stock Units. A common stock unit, or "CSU," is a right to
      receive a share of Sunoco common stock and related dividend
      equivalents which are paid in cash. At the time of the grant, the
      Committee will determine whether this right will be conditioned only
      upon continued employment with Sunoco for a certain period of time, or
      whether it will be further conditioned upon the attainment, during the
      period, of certain predetermined objective performance goals (based
      upon financial or operating measures). CSUs usually will terminate
      upon the participant's termination of employment. However, if
      termination is due to death, permanent disability or retirement,
      payment of all performance-based CSUs and applicable dividend
      equivalents will be made at the end of the performance period, as
      though the participant had continued in the employment of the Company
      through such period. In the event of a change in control of the
      Company, all outstanding CSUs and related dividend equivalents will be
      paid out at the target level.

     .  For CSUs conditioned only upon continued employment with Sunoco,
        the performance period will not be less than three years.

     .  For performance-based CSUs, the number of shares actually earned
        will vary depending upon the levels of certain performance goals
        actually achieved.

   .  Minimum Stock Ownership Guidelines. For participants that have failed
      to meet the minimum stock ownership guidelines (as described on pages
      27 and 32), the Committee has the power to impose restrictions on the
      sale or other disposition of any Sunoco common stock received by those
      participants as a result of any exercise of stock options or payment
      of CSUs.

   .  Federal Tax Consequences. A participant will not realize any income
      and Sunoco will not receive any deduction for federal income tax
      purposes, upon the grant of options, limited rights or CSUs. With
      regard to stock options or limited rights, ordinary income will be
      realized by the participant at the time shares are received or cash is
      paid upon exercise. For stock options, the amount of income will be
      equal to the difference between the stock option price and the fair
      market value of shares of Sunoco common stock on the date of the
      exercise. For limited rights, the amount of income will be equal to
      the cash received. Ordinary income will be realized by a participant
      in the year in which CSUs are paid, in an amount equal to the fair
      market value of the shares of Sunoco common stock issued at the end of
      the performance period and the dividend equivalents paid. Income
      received by a participant pursuant to a limited right or CSU which is
      received upon a change in control of Sunoco may be subject to a
      twenty-percent excise tax as an "excess parachute payment." Sunoco
      will receive a deduction on its consolidated federal income tax return
      for the taxable year in which the participant realizes ordinary income
      from the exercise of stock options, limited rights, or CSUs. A
      participant will

                                      12


      not recognize taxable income from the exercise of an incentive stock
      option, so long as the participant holds the stock received until the
      later of two years from the date of grant or one year from the date of
      exercise. The exercise of an incentive stock option will result in a
      tax preference item for the alternative minimum tax of an amount equal
      to the difference between the stock option price and the fair market
      value of the shares of Sunoco common stock on the date of exercise.

   .  Adjustments.  If there is a change in the number of outstanding shares
      of Sunoco common stock as a result of any stock dividend or
      distribution, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up,
      combination, exchange of shares or the like, the Committee may
      appropriately adjust the number of shares of Sunoco common stock to be
      issued under the LTPEP II, or under the awards previously granted
      under the LTPEP II.

   .  Amendments. The Committee may terminate or amend the LTPEP II at any
      time, without shareholder approval. However, without shareholder
      approval, the Committee may not amend the LTPEP II in certain
      respects, including amendments which would (a) increase the maximum
      award levels established in LTPEP II, including the maximum number of
      shares of Sunoco common stock which may be issued under the LTPEP II
      (except for adjustments as described above); (b) extend the term
      during which an option may be exercised beyond ten years from the date
      of grant; or (c) alter the terms of any previously granted option in
      order to reduce the option price, or cancel any outstanding option
      award and replace it with a new option, having a lower option price,
      where the economic effect would be the same as reducing the option
      price of the cancelled option.

  Your Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the approval of
  the LTPEP II.

4. APPROVAL OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
   FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2001

  The Audit Committee has recommended, and the Board has approved, the
  appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal
  year 2001 subject to your approval. Ernst & Young has served as our
  independent auditors since 1996. They have unrestricted access to the Audit
  Committee to discuss audit findings and other financial matters.
  Representatives of Ernst & Young will attend the Annual Meeting to answer
  appropriate questions. They also may make a statement. The work performed
  by Ernst & Young during 2000 and the related fees are set forth below.

  a. Audit Fees

  Ernst & Young provided audit services to Sunoco consisting of the annual
  audit of Sunoco's 2000 consolidated financial statements and reviews of the
  financial statements in the 2000 Forms 10-Q. The fees paid to Ernst & Young
  for these services were $503,560.

                                      13


  b. Financial Information System Design and Implementation Fees

  Ernst & Young did not perform any financial information system design or
  implementation work for Sunoco during 2000.

  including consultation on accounting and reporting matters, audits of
  separate financial statements of subsidiaries and affiliates and employee
  benefit plans and procedures performed in connection with certain filings
  with the SEC. Ernst & Young also provided non-audit-related services,
  primarily consultation on tax-related matters. Fees for these services
  performed during 2000 are as follows:


                             
    Audit-Related Services      $516,623
    Non-Audit Related Services   281,899
                                --------
                                $798,522
                                ========


  Your Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the approval of Ernst &
  Young's appointment as independent auditors for the fiscal year 2001.

5. SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL

  Mr. Bartlett C. Naylor, 1255 North Buchanan Street, Arlington, VA 22205,
  owner of 200 shares of Sunoco common stock, has given notice to Sunoco that
  he intends to present the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

   "Resolved: The shareholders urge our board of directors to take the
   necessary steps to nominate at least two candidates for each open board
   position, and that the names, biographical sketches, SEC-required
   declarations and photographs of such candidates shall appear in the
   company's proxy materials (or other required disclosures) to the same
   extent that such information is required by law and is our company's
   current practice with the single candidates it now proposes for each
   position."

  Supporting statement of Mr. Naylor:

   "Although our company's board appreciates the importance of qualified
   people overseeing management, we believe that the process for electing
   directors can be improved.

   Our company currently nominates for election only one candidate for each
   board seat, thus leaving shareholders no practical choice in most
   director elections. Shareholders who oppose a candidate have no easy way
   to do so unless they are willing to undertake the considerable expense of
   running an independent candidate for the board. The only other way to
   register dissent about a given candidate is to withhold support for that
   nominee, but that process rarely affects the outcome of director

                                      14


   elections. The current system thus provides no readily effective way for
   shareholders to oppose a candidate that has failed to attend board
   meetings; or serves on so many boards as to be unable to supervise our
   company management diligently; or who serves as a consultant to the
   company that could compromise independence; or poses other problems. As a
   result, while directors legally serve as the shareholder agent in
   overseeing management, the election of directors at the annual meeting is
   largely perfunctory. Even directors of near bankrupt companies enjoy re-
   election with 90%+ pluralities. The "real" selection comes through the
   nominating committee, a process too often influenced, if not controlled,
   by the very management the board is expected to scrutinize critically.

   Our company should offer a rational choice when shareholders elect
   directors. Such a process could abate the problem of a chair "choosing"
   his own board, that is, selecting those directors he expects will
   reflexively support his initiatives, and shedding those who may sometimes
   dissent. Such a process could create healthy and more rigorous
   shareholder evaluation about which specific nominees are best qualified.

   Would such a process lead to board discontinuity? Perhaps, but only with
   shareholder approval. Presumably an incumbent would be defeated only
   because shareholders considered the alternative a superior choice. Would
   such a procedure discourage some candidates? Surely our board should not
   be made of those intolerant of competition. Would such a procedure be
   "awkward" for management when it recruits candidates? Hopefully so.
   (Management could print a nominee's name advanced by an independent
   shareholder to limit such embarrassment.) The point is to remove the
   "final" decision on who serves as a board director from the hands of
   management, and place it firmly in those of shareholders.

   We urge you to vote FOR this proposal."

  Your Board of Directors recommends that you vote AGAINST this proposal for
  the following reasons:

   .  Sunoco's Board of Directors is currently comprised of eleven directors
      who are independent under the newly revised and more stringent NYSE
      rules, and one inside director, the CEO. The Governance Committee is
      comprised of six directors all of whom are independent. The Board and
      Governance Committee take corporate governance and board practices
      very seriously. Because the Board is of the view that all shareholders
      should be informed about these practices, they are published each year
      in Sunoco's proxy statement (see page 21). Sunoco's Board is of the
      view that the current practices used to identify and select a slate of
      Board candidates have worked and continue to work well for its
      shareholders.

   .  Under Sunoco's Bylaws, the Board of Directors and Governance Committee
      are responsible for annually identifying the best individual
      candidates for election to the Board. The proposal suggests that the
      current system is not effective to address director absences,
      commitments to too many boards, or other problems. On the contrary,
      with regard to individuals currently sitting on Sunoco's Board, the
      Committee undertakes an annual individual director evaluation process
      which considers the director's independence, possible conflicts of
      interest, attendance,

                                      15


      participation, outside board commitments, as well as other performance
      criteria deemed relevant by the Committee. The Board and the Committee
      also have a comprehensive process to identify new potential
      candidates. The evaluation process for potential candidates includes
      an analysis of independence; potential conflicts of interest;
      consideration of the number of outside boards a candidate sits on; and
      other factors deemed relevant; as well as interviews with the
      potential candidates.

   .  In selecting a slate of candidates each year, the Committee and the
      Board carefully consider the performance and qualifications not just
      of each individual but of the group as a whole, and nominate the
      persons that they believe will together best serve the shareholders.
      An election of only some of the identified candidates creates a risk
      that the resulting Board would lack some types of experience, skills
      or diversity. The Board believes that if they followed the procedure
      set forth in the proposal and nominated twice as many candidates to
      the Board as there are seats (in our case this would mean nominating
      26 candidates each year because Sunoco doesn't have a classified
      board), they would fail in their fiduciary duty to Sunoco's
      shareholders to identify and recommend only the most qualified slate.

   .  In addition, it should be noted that Sunoco's Bylaws provide
      shareholders with a mechanism to nominate candidates for the Board to
      the Governance Committee. This is more fully described on page 8 of
      this proxy statement.

   .  The Board believes that the proposal is not an efficient or effective
      way to select directors. Locating competent candidates and evaluating
      these individuals to make up a slate of 26 nominees willing to stand
      for election under the proposed conditions each year would be a time
      consuming task and could divert the Board's focus from other matters
      that are of importance to the shareholders. The Board believes that
      the proposal is not in the best interests of the shareholders of the
      Company.

  Your Board unanimously recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal.

                       STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The corporate governance standards established by the Board provide a
structure within which directors and management can effectively pursue
Sunoco's objectives for the benefit of its shareholders. Sunoco's business is
managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. The Board delegates the
conduct of business to Sunoco's senior management team. The principal
functions of the Board are to:

  Evaluate the Chief Executive Officer: The ongoing evaluation of the CEO is
  accomplished through the following process:

  .  The Chief Executive Officer meets with the Compensation Committee to
     develop appropriate goals and objectives for the next year, which are
     then discussed with the entire Board.

  .  At year end, the Compensation Committee, with input from the Board,
     evaluates the performance of the Chief Executive Officer in meeting
     those goals and objectives.

  .  This evaluation is communicated to the Chief Executive Officer at an
     executive session of the Board.

  .  The Compensation Committee uses this evaluation in determining the Chief
     Executive Officer's compensation.

  Review and Approve Sunoco's Strategic Direction and Annual Operating Plan,
  and Monitor Sunoco's Performance:

  .  Annually, the outside directors meet with the Chief Executive Officer to
     discuss the overall performance and direction of the Company.

  .  Following that discussion, the outside directors meet independently, at
     a meeting which is chaired by the Chairperson of the Governance
     Committee, to evaluate Sunoco's performance and direction.

  .  This evaluation is communicated to the Chief Executive Officer at an
     executive session of the Board.

  .  The Board stays abreast of political, regulatory and economic trends and
     developments that may impact Sunoco's strategic direction.

  .  Each year, the Board and management participate in a two-day off-site
     meeting at which major long-term strategies and financial and other
     objectives and plans are discussed and approved.

  .  Annually, the Board reviews and approves a three-year strategic plan,
     yearly goals and an operating plan for the Company.

                                      21


  .  On an ongoing basis during the year, the Board monitors Sunoco's
     performance against its annual operating plan and against the
     performance of its peers.

  Review Management Performance and Compensation:

  .  The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the Chief Executive
     Officer's evaluation of the top management team on an annual basis.

  .  The Board (largely through the Compensation Committee) evaluates the
     compensation plans for senior management and other employees to ensure
     they are appropriate, competitive and properly reflect Sunoco's
     objectives and performance.

  Review Management Succession Planning:

  .  The Board plans for succession to the position of Chairman of the Board
     and CEO as well as certain other senior management positions.

  .  To assist the Board, the Chairman and CEO annually provides the
     Governance Committee with an assessment of senior managers and their
     potential to succeed him.

  .  He also provides the Governance Committee with an assessment of persons
     considered potential successors to certain senior management positions.

  .  The results of these reviews are reported to and discussed with the
     Board.

  Advise and Counsel Management:

  .  Advice and counsel to management occurs both in formal Board and
     Committee meetings and through informal, individual director's contacts
     with the Chief Executive Officer and other members of management.

  .  The Board is composed of individuals whose knowledge, background,
     experience and judgment are valuable to the Company.

  .  The information needed for the Board's decision-making generally will be
     found within Sunoco, and Board members have full access to management.

  .  On occasion, the Board may seek legal or other expert advice from a
     source independent of management, and generally this is done with the
     knowledge and concurrence of the Chief Executive Officer.

  Review Structure and Operations of the Board: The Governance Committee
  periodically reviews the Board's structure, operations, and need for new
  members and reports the result of this review to the Board for its
  approval. The Board observes the following general practices:

                                      22


  .  Selection and Evaluation of Board Candidates: When searching for new
     nominees, the Board selects candidates based on their character,
     judgment, and business experience, as well as their ability to add to
     the Board's existing strengths. The Governance Committee evaluates the
     performance of individual directors on an annual basis and this
     evaluation provides the basis for the Board's recommendation of a slate
     of directors to the shareholders.

  .  Board Structure:

    .  Each director is elected annually by shareholders for a one-year
       term.

    .  The Board consists entirely of independent outside directors except
       for the Chief Executive Officer. None of the directors has a
       consulting contract with Sunoco.

    .  Periodically, the full Board conducts an assessment of how it is
       functioning as a whole so that it may continuously improve its
       performance.

    .  The mandatory retirement age for directors is 72.

    .  An outside director must tender his or her resignation for
       consideration by the Governance Committee if the position he or she
       held at the time of election changes.

    .  As a general rule, it is the Board's expectation that when officer
       directors leave their Company positions, they will no longer serve
       on the Board.

    .  New directors must participate in an orientation process that
       includes reviewing extensive materials regarding Sunoco's business
       and operations, visits to Sunoco facilities and meetings with key
       personnel. As part of this process, new directors attend meetings of
       all the Board's committees to acquaint them with the work and
       operations of each. After this orientation, new Board members are
       given regular committee assignments.

  .  Board Operations and Meetings:

    .  Sunoco's Board usually meets seven times per year in regularly
       scheduled meetings but meets more often if necessary.

    .  While the Board believes that a carefully planned agenda is
       important for effective Board meetings, the agenda is flexible
       enough to accommodate unexpected developments. The items on the
       agenda are typically determined by the Chairperson in consultation
       with the Board. Any director may request that an item be included on
       the agenda.

    .  Generally, Board members receive information well in advance of
       Board meetings so they will have an opportunity to prepare for
       discussion of the items at the meeting. Information is provided from
       a variety of sources, including management reports, a comparison of
       performance to operating and financial plans, reports on Sunoco's
       stock performance and operations prepared by third

                                      23


       parties, and articles in various business publications. In many
       cases, significant items requiring Board approval may be reviewed in
       one or more meetings and voted upon in subsequent meetings, with the
       intervening time being used for clarification and discussion of
       relevant issues.

    .  At Board meetings, ample time is scheduled to assure full discussion
       of important matters. Management presentations are scheduled to
       permit a substantial proportion of Board meeting time to be available
       for discussion and comments.

  .  Committee Structure: The full Board considers all major decisions of the
     Company. However, the Board has established the following five standing
     committees, each of which is composed entirely of outside directors,
     except for the Executive Committee, so that certain important areas can
     be addressed in more depth than may be possible in a full Board meeting:

    .  The Audit Committee oversees Sunoco's accounting processes and
       reporting systems and the adequacy of internal controls, reviews and
       approves Sunoco's financial disclosures, and evaluates the
       performance and recommends the appointment of independent auditors.
       This Committee is responsible for preparing and issuing the Audit
       Committee Report published in this proxy statement. This Committee,
       along with the Board, is responsible for reviewing and updating the
       Audit Committee Charter.

    .  The Governance Committee reviews the role, composition, and structure
       of the Board and its committees as well as directors' compensation.
       It also reviews and evaluates Board members in determining the annual
       directors' slate and identifies new director nominees. This Committee
       reviews the CEO's recommendations of potential successors, as well as
       potential successors to other senior management positions. This
       Committee, along with the Board, is responsible for reviewing and
       updating Sunoco's Statement on Corporate Governance published in this
       proxy statement.

    .  The Compensation Committee reviews matters related to the
       compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and other senior
       management personnel, as well as the general employee compensation
       and benefit policies and practices of the Company. This Committee
       also approves goals for incentive plans, evaluates performance
       against these goals, and issues the Compensation Committee Report on
       executive compensation to shareholders published in this proxy
       statement.

    .  The Public Affairs Committee reviews the Company's performance in the
       areas of health, environment and safety, equal employment
       opportunity, and political activities. It also oversees the
       administration of corporate contributions and evaluates Sunoco's
       relationship with shareholders and all other constituencies.

    .  The Executive Committee exercises the authority of the Board during
       the intervals between meetings of the Board.

                                      24


  .  Directors' Compensation: The Governance Committee sets and administers
     the policies that govern the level and form of directors' compensation.

    .  Annually, Sunoco participates in numerous directors' compensation
       surveys compiled by third-party consultants. The amount and form of
       Sunoco's directors' compensation are benchmarked against companies
       in Sunoco's performance peer group as well as others in the oil
       industry and industry in general.

    .  The Committee believes that more than half of the total director
       compensation package should be delivered in the form of Sunoco
       common stock and stock equivalents in order to better align the
       interests of Sunoco's directors with the interests of its
       shareholders. In order to further encourage a link between director
       and shareholder interests, the Committee adopted Director Stock
       Ownership Guidelines to which members of the Board of Directors are
       expected to adhere.

    .  Sunoco has no non-Employee Director Retirement Plan.

The Board annually reviews its board practices in comparison to the governance
standards identified by leading governance authorities and the evolving needs
of the Company and determines whether or not this Statement on Corporate
Governance should be updated.

                            DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As discussed in the Statement on Corporate Governance, Sunoco annually
benchmarks the form and amount of directors' compensation. Directors are
compensated partially in Sunoco common stock or stock equivalents to better
align their interests with those of shareholders. Currently, equity-based
compensation represents on average more than half of the total compensation
package. Executive officers are not paid for their services as directors. The
Board held seven meetings during 2000, and all of the directors attended at
least 75% of the Board meetings and Committee meetings of which they were
members. The following table summarizes the compensation of Sunoco's directors
during 2000.

  /1/ Represents shares of Sunoco common stock paid under the Directors'
      Retainer Stock Plan having a value of $19,880 on the date of grant.

  /2/ Represents restricted share units that are not payable until death
      or other termination of Board service, having a value equal to
      $22,000 on the date of grant.

  /3/ A fee of $1,250 per day is also paid in cash for special
      assignments.

Directors' Deferred Compensation: The Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan
permits outside directors to defer all or a portion of their compensation,
except for the Yearly Credit which is required to be deferred in restricted
share units. Payments of compensation deferred under this plan are restricted
in terms of the earliest and latest dates that payments may begin. Deferred
compensation is designated as share units, cash units, or a combination of
both. A share unit is treated as if it were invested in shares of Sunoco
common stock, but it does not have voting rights. Dividend equivalents are
credited to each Director in the form of additional share units. Share units
are settled in cash, based upon the fair market value of Sunoco common stock
at the time of payment. Cash units accrue interest at a rate based upon
Sunoco's cost of borrowing.

Directors' Stock Ownership Guidelines: Each outside director is expected to
own Sunoco common stock with a market value equal to at least three times the
average total annual director's compensation. Currently, this ownership
guideline is approximately $220,000. Included in the determination of stock
ownership for purposes of these guidelines are all shares beneficially owned
and any share units held in the Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan. New
directors are allowed a five-year phase-in period to comply with the
guidelines. As of the February 9, 2001 record date, all of Sunoco's current
directors were in compliance with these stock ownership guidelines (or, in the
case of directors with less than five years of service, on track to compliance
within the five-year period). Sunoco has also established stock ownership
guidelines for its executives, and these are discussed on page 32.

NOTES TO TABLE:

/1/The Chief Executive Officer and the next four most highly compensated
   executive officers during the last fiscal year.

/2/This column includes shares of Sunoco common stock held by directors and
   officers or by certain members of their families (for which the directors
   and officers have sole or shared voting or investment power), shares of
   Sunoco common stock they hold in SunCAP and SHARP, and shares of Sunoco
   common stock that directors and officers have the right to acquire within
   60 days of December 31, 2000.

/3/Includes share unit balances held under the Directors' Deferred
   Compensation Plan and the Deferred Compensation Plan for executives, and
   share equivalent balances held by executives under Sunoco's Savings
   Restoration Plan (see footnote 3 on page 37). Although ultimately paid in
   cash, the value of share units and share equivalents mirrors the value of
   Sunoco common stock. Thus, the amounts ultimately realized by the directors
   and executives will reflect all changes in the market value of Sunoco
   common stock from the date of deferral and/or accrual until the date of
   payout. The share units and share equivalents do not have voting rights,
   but are credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional share
   units or share equivalents.

/4/R. H. Campbell retired as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
   of Sunoco in May 2000. Mr. Campbell is included in the table since he was
   CEO for part of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.

/5/The amounts shown include shares of Sunoco common stock which the following
   persons have the right to acquire as a result of the exercise of stock
   options within 60 days after December 31, 2000 under the Sunoco, Inc. Long-
   Term Performance Enhancement Plan ("LTPEP"), our current long-term
   incentive plan, and under the Sunoco, Inc. Executive Long-Term Stock
   Investment Plan ("ELSIP"), which is a predecessor plan:

                            AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Audit Committee reviews Sunoco's financial reporting process on behalf of
the Board of Directors. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Committee has
reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements contained in the 2000
Annual Report on SEC Form 10-K with Sunoco's management and the independent
auditors. Management is responsible for the financial statements and the
reporting process, including the system of internal controls. The independent
auditors are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those
audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.

The Committee discussed with the independent auditors their independence from
Sunoco and its management including the matters in the written disclosures
required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence
Discussions with Audit Committees and considered the compatibility of non-
audit services with the auditors' independence. In addition, the Committee
discussed the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing
Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee
recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, the inclusion of the
audited financial statements in Sunoco's Annual Report on SEC Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2000, for filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Respectfully submitted on March 1, 2001 by the members of the Audit Committee
of the Board of Directors:

         EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION: REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Committee's Responsibilities: The Compensation Committee of the Board has
responsibility for setting and administering the policies which govern
executive compensation. The Committee is composed entirely of outside
directors. Reports of the Committee's actions and decisions are presented to
the full Board. The purpose of this report is to summarize the philosophical
principles, specific program objectives and other factors considered by the
Committee in reaching its determinations regarding the executive compensation
of the Named Executive Officers.

Compensation Philosophy: The Committee has approved principles for the
management compensation program which:

 .  Encourage strong financial and operational performance of the Company;

 .  Emphasize performance-based compensation ("pay at risk") which balances
   rewards for short-term and long-term results;

 .  Focus executives on "beating the competition" through plans which include
   measurements based on performance relative to peer companies;

 .  Link compensation to the interests of shareholders by providing stock
   incentives and requiring significant shareholdings; and

 .  Provide a competitive level of total compensation necessary to attract and
   retain talented and experienced executives.

Management's Stock Ownership Guidelines: The Committee considers stock
ownership by management to be an important means of linking management's
interests directly to those of shareholders. Sunoco has stock ownership
guidelines for its approximately 40 top executives. The amount of stock
required to be owned increases with the level of responsibility of each
executive, with the Chief Executive Officer expected to own stock with a value
at least equal to four times his base salary. Until such time as they are
actually paid out and received, shares that the executives have the right to
acquire through the exercise of stock options are not included in the
calculation of stock ownership. For purposes of these guidelines, a portion of
the shares assumed to have been earned with respect to future payouts of
common stock units are counted when computing stock ownership. Participants
are expected to reach their respective stock ownership goals by the end of a
five-year period. Sunoco also has stock ownership guidelines for its outside
directors, and these are discussed on page 27.

Compensation Methodology: Sunoco strives to provide a comprehensive executive
compensation program that is competitive and performance-based in order to
attract and retain superior executive talent. Each year the Committee reviews
market data and assesses

                                      32


Sunoco's competitive position for three components of executive compensation:
(1) base salary, (2) annual incentives, and (3) long-term incentives. To
assist in benchmarking the competitiveness of its compensation programs,
Sunoco participates in executive compensation surveys compiled by third-party
consultants. Because the Committee believes that the Company's direct
competition for executive talent is broader than the companies that are
included in the Performance Peer Group established for purposes of comparing
shareholder returns (see the Stock Performance Graph on page 30 for more
information), these surveys include companies in the Performance Peer Group
and others in the oil industry. This information is supplemented by general
industry compensation information. The compensation survey data reflect
adjustments for each company's relative revenue, asset base, employee
population and capitalization, along with the scope of managerial
responsibility and reporting relationships.

As part of the Committee's annual review of the competitiveness of the
executive compensation program for 2000, the Committee decided to increase the
components to provide a competitive level. Significantly, the increase in the
long-term compensation component reflects the continuing trend of the surveyed
group of companies to increase the percentage of executive compensation
provided by equity-based awards which better align management with
shareholders' interests.

Components of Compensation:

 .  Base Salary: Annual base salary is designed to compensate executives for
   their level of responsibility and sustained individual performance. The
   Committee approves in advance all salary increases for the Named Executive
   Officers. The goal is to compensate executives within the mid-level of the
   range of base salaries paid by companies in the Performance Peer Group, the
   oil industry, and industry in general.

 .  Annual Incentives: Annual incentive awards for the Named Executive Officers
   are provided in order to promote the achievement of Sunoco's business
   objectives. Each year the Committee considers the Company's prior year's
   performance and objectives, as well as its expectations for Sunoco in the
   upcoming year. Bearing in mind these considerations, the Committee sets
   certain Company performance criteria or goals which must be met before
   payments are made. Additionally, individual performance goals may be
   established for each participant. Payments may range from 0% to 200% of the
   annual incentive opportunity, with payments increasing as performance
   improves.

   For the current awards, the Committee established a fixed percentage of
   annual salary range midpoint as an executive's annual incentive opportunity,
   based on comparative survey data on annual incentives paid in the Performance
   Peer Group, the oil industry, and industry in general. The incentive
   opportunity increases with the level of responsibility of the executive.
   Annual incentive awards for 2000 were based on meeting weighted objectives
   for two principal measurements:

   .  after-tax operating income; and
   .  relative ranking, as measured by return on capital employed, or "ROCE,"
      against the Performance Peer Group (see page 30).

                                      33


   Sunoco achieved the maximum threshold established for operating income in
   2000 and attained an ROCE ranking better than the annual incentive award
   target level. As a result, the annual incentive approved by the Committee
   for each Named Executive Officer was 188% of the annual incentive
   opportunity. The Bonus column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 36
   contains the annual incentive earned for 2000 for each of the Named
   Executive Officers.

 .  Long-Term Incentive Compensation: Each year, the Committee reviews and
   approves all long-term incentive awards. Current awards are primarily a
   combination of stock options and performance-based common stock units
   (which represent shares of Sunoco common stock). These awards provide
   compensation to executives only if shareholder value increases. Common
   stock units also focus executives on "beating the competition" by measuring
   Sunoco's performance versus the Performance Peer Group. In determining the
   number of stock options and performance-based common stock units awarded,
   the Committee reviews surveys of similar awards made to individuals in
   comparable positions within the Performance Peer Group, in the oil
   industry, and in general industry, and the executive's past performance.
   The following is a description of the awards granted through 2000:

  .  Stock Options: Options have an exercise price equal to the fair market
     value of common stock on the date of grant and are exercisable beginning
     two years from the date of grant.

  .  Common Stock Units: Performance-based common stock units are earned
     based on the Company's total common stock shareholder return (stock
     price appreciation plus dividend yield) for a three-year performance
     period compared to that of the Performance Peer Group. Additionally,
     under the currently outstanding awards, the common stock units will be
     forfeited if certain minimum common stock price levels are not met by
     the end of a one-year period following the end of the performance
     period, regardless of how Sunoco performs versus the Performance Peer
     Group. In order to ensure the retention of key executives, or as part of
     the compensation to a new executive hired from outside the Company, the
     Committee also occasionally grants common stock units which require only
     continued employment as a condition of vesting.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation: The Chief Executive Officer participates
in the same programs and receives compensation based on the same factors as
the other executive officers. However, Mr. Drosdick's overall compensation
reflects a greater degree of policy and decision-making authority and a higher
level of responsibility with respect to the strategic direction and financial
and operational results of the Company. For 2000, the Chief Executive
Officer's compensation components were:

 .  Base Salary: As a result of his appointment as Chairman, Chief Executive
   Officer and President and also as a result of his individual performance,
   Mr. Drosdick's annual salary was increased to $800,000, effective May 4,
   2000.

 .  Annual Incentive: Annual incentive compensation for Mr. Drosdick is based
   upon relative attainment of the annual performance goals for the Company.
   Based on these

                                      34


   criteria, and the Committee's review of competitive practices, Mr. Drosdick
   was awarded $1,128,000 representing 188% of his annual incentive
   opportunity for performance in 2000.

 .  Long-Term Incentive Awards: In May 2000, in connection with his election to
   Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Drosdick received a grant of
   65,000 stock options which become exercisable in May 2002. In December
   2000, as part of the Company's annual award of long-term compensation to
   executives, Mr. Drosdick received a grant of 135,000 stock options which
   become exercisable in December 2002, and 50,000 performance-based common
   stock units. In determining the amounts granted, the Committee considered,
   without specific weighting, the performance of the Company and relative
   total shareholder return, and the value of such awards granted to other
   chief executive officers in the Performance Peer Group, the oil industry,
   and industry in general. See page 33 for a discussion of the Committee's
   review of and actions regarding 2000 long-term incentive compensation.

Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993: This Act has had no material impact
upon Sunoco's ability to take a tax deduction for annual compensation in
excess of $1 million paid to any of the Named Executive Officers.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation: There are none.

Respectfully submitted by the members of the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors:

                                        Raymond E. Cartledge, Chair
                                        James G. Kaiser

NOTES TO TABLE:

/1/ The amounts reported in the table under Base Salary reflect that there were
    26 bi-weekly pay periods in 1999 and 2000, and 27 bi-weekly pay periods in
    1998.

/2/ Long-term awards were composed of stock options and common stock units
    (representing shares of Sunoco common stock). Grants of performance-based
    common stock unit awards are excluded from this table; however, such grants
    made during the last completed fiscal year are reflected in the table of
    Performance-Based Common Stock Unit Awards on page 39. Other common stock
    unit awards, if any, are included in this Summary Compensation Table as
    Restricted Stock Awards.

    * Executive officers participate in two defined contribution plans:
      (i) SunCAP, Sunoco's 401(k) plan for most employees, and (ii) the
      Sunoco, Inc. Savings Restoration Plan. The Savings Restoration Plan
      permits a SunCAP participant to continue receiving the Company-
      matching contribution after reaching certain limitations under the
      Internal Revenue Code.

/4/ J. G. Drosdick became an employee of Sunoco on November 15, 1996. As part of
    his Employment Agreement with Sunoco, Mr. Drosdick received an award of
    25,000 common stock units valued at $581,250 on the date of grant. The
    shares were paid to him in November 1999 at which time they had a value of
    $709,375 (including dividend equivalents). In 1997, Mr. Drosdick was granted
    a special award of 2,500 common stock units with a value of $104,688 on the
    date of grant. This award was paid to Mr. Drosdick in 1,250 share
    installments in January 1999 and January 2000 when they were valued at
    $45,625 and $30,938, respectively (including dividend equivalents). The
    amount shown for 2000 includes $463,125 representing the value of the common
    stock units paid out in 2000 at 130% of the targeted amount, plus applicable
    dividend equivalents, attributable to the 1996 Performance-Based Common
    Stock Unit Award.

/5/ The required criteria for payout of the 1996 Performance-Based Common Stock
    Unit Award were met in early 2000 and 130% of the targeted award was paid at
    that time. The amounts shown reflect the value of the common stock units
    paid out plus applicable dividend equivalents.

/6/ In 1996, D. M. Fretz was granted a special award of 10,000 common stock
    units with a value of $257,500 on the date of grant. The first installment
    of 2,000 shares with a value of $71,626 was paid to Ms. Fretz in August
    1997; the second installment of 3,000 shares with a value of $112,314 was
    paid to her in August 1998; and the final installment of 5,000 shares with a
    value of $152,500 was paid to Ms. Fretz in August 1999.

/7/ In connection with his hiring in 1997, the Company loaned R. W. Owens
    $100,000 for expenses largely in connection with his relocation to the
    Philadelphia area. The loan was imputed to bear a variable interest rate,
    and the imputed interest was compensatory to Mr. Owens. In 2000, $50,000 of
    the loan amount was forgiven and was imputed income to Mr. Owens. The
    outstanding balance of $50,000 is due to be repaid in 2001. In 1998, the
    imputed interest rate was 5.63% and the imputed income to Mr. Owens was
    $5,630. In 1999, the imputed interest rate was 4.89% and the imputed income
    was $4,885. In 2000, the imputed interest rate was 6.15% and the imputed
    income to Mr. Owens was $3,073. The figures for each year also include
    amounts related to reimbursements for the payment of certain taxes.

/8/ In connection with his hiring in 1997, R. W. Owens was granted a special
    award of 10,000 common stock units. The award was paid to him in January
    2000 and was valued at $265,000 (including dividend equivalents) at that
    time.

/9/ R. H. Campbell retired as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
    of Sunoco in May 2000. Mr. Campbell is included in this table since he was
    CEO during a part of fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.

/10/ $591,000 of R. H. Campbell's total 1998 annual incentive award was deferred
     in the form of share units under Sunoco's Deferred Compensation Plan. These
     share units are treated as if they were invested in shares of Sunoco common
     stock, and are credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional
     share units.

NOTES TO TABLE:
/1/ No Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs") were granted.
/2/ R. H. Campbell retired as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
    of Sunoco in May 2000. Mr. Campbell is not included in this table since he
    was not granted any stock options during 2000.
/3/ Each option was awarded with an exercise price equal to the fair market
    value of a share of Sunoco common stock on the date of grant and will become
    exercisable two years from the grant date. These stock options were granted
    along with an equal number of limited rights. Limited rights become
    exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control of the Company (as
    defined on page 41) and permit the holder to be paid in cash the
    appreciation on a stock option instead of exercising the option.
/4/ These dollar amounts are not intended to forecast future appreciation of the
    common stock price. The Named Executives Officers will not benefit unless
    the common stock price increases above the stock option exercise price. Any
    appreciation in the common stock price which results in a gain to these
    Named Executive Officers would also benefit all shareholders of the common
    stock. For example, the additional value realized by all shareholders of

NOTES TO TABLE:

/1/ The actual payout of the performance-based common stock units granted will
    depend upon Sunoco achieving certain performance levels, based upon total
    common stock shareholder return, as compared with the total common stock
    shareholder return of the Performance Peer Group over a three-year
    performance period subsequent to their grant. Additionally, regardless of
    how Sunoco performs versus the Performance Peer Group, the common stock
    units will be forfeited if certain minimum common stock price levels are
    not met by the end of a one-year period following the end of the
    performance period.

/2/ R. H. Campbell retired as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
    Officer of Sunoco in May 2000. Mr. Campbell is not included in this table
    since he was not granted common stock units during 2000.

                     SEVERANCE PLANS AND OTHER INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Named Executive Officers participate in plans with certain other key
management personnel which provide for severance benefits in the event they
are involuntarily terminated without cause by Sunoco. In the case of the Chief
Executive Officer, severance payments would be equal to two years of base
salary plus guideline annual incentive. The other Named Executive Officers
would receive such payments for one and one-half years. If termination
(whether actual or constructive) occurs within two years of a Change in
Control of Sunoco, severance would be payable in a lump sum equal to three
years of base salary plus guideline annual incentive for the Chief Executive
Officer and two years for the other Named Executive Officers. Based upon base
salary and guideline annual incentive at year-end 2000, payments under these
plans would have been as follows:

NOTES TO TABLE:

/1/ R. H. Campbell retired as Sunoco's Chairman of the Board and Chief
    Executive Officer in May 2000, and as a result does not participate in the
    Severance Plans.

/2/ For purposes of these arrangements, a "Change in Control" means the
    occurrence of any of the following events or transactions:

  (a) Those directors who were members of Sunoco's Board of Directors
      immediately prior to any of the following transactions cease, within
      one year of a control transaction, to constitute a majority of either
      Sunoco's Board or the Board of any successor to Sunoco (or to all or
      substantially all of Sunoco's assets):

    (1) any tender offer for or acquisition of Sunoco's capital stock;

    (2) any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of
        Sunoco's assets; or

    (3) the submission of a nominee or nominees for the position of director
        of Sunoco, in a proxy solicitation or otherwise, by a shareholder or
        group of shareholders acting in concert as described in Sections
        13(d)(3) and/or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
        amended; or

  (b) Any entity, person (or group of persons acting in concert as described
      in Sections 13(d)(3) and/or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of
      1934, as amended), acquires shares of Sunoco, Inc. in a transaction or
      series of transactions that results in such entity, person or Group
      directly or indirectly owning beneficially more than twenty percent
      (20%) of the outstanding voting shares of Sunoco, Inc.

Each eligible executive will be entitled to medical, life insurance and
disability coverage for up to the number of years of severance received, at
the same rate that such benefits are provided to active employees of Sunoco.
In the case of a Change in Control, the plans also provide for the protection
of certain pension benefits which would have been earned during the years for
which severance was paid and reimbursement for any additional tax liability
incurred as a result of excise taxes imposed on payments deemed to be
attributable to the Change in Control. Sunoco's long-term incentive
compensation plans provide that upon a Change in Control, all stock options
become immediately exercisable, and all common stock unit awards are paid out
at the targeted award amount regardless of whether performance targets have
been met.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This table shows the estimated annual retirement benefits payable to a covered
participant based upon the final average pay formulas of the Sunoco, Inc.
Retirement Plan ("SCIRP"), the Sunoco, Inc. Pension Restoration Plan, and the
Sunoco, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"). Participants in
these plans may elect to receive their accrued benefits in the form of either
a lump sum or an annuity. The estimates shown in the table below assume that
benefits are received in the form of a single life annuity.

   NOTES TO TABLE:

   /1/ Final Average Total Cash Compensation is the average of the base
       salary and guideline annual incentive award in the highest 36
       consecutive months during the last 120 months of service.

   /2/ Based on the SERP minimum benefit formula of 40% of the Final
       Average Total Cash Compensation with 12 or more years of service.

   /3/ R. H. Campbell retired as Sunoco's Chairman of the Board and
       Chief Executive Officer in the year 2000, following 40 years of
       service with Sunoco. Mr. Campbell elected to receive his
       retirement benefit in the form of a lump sum that was paid
       pursuant to the terms of the applicable plans. This retirement
       benefit is in addition to those amounts shown in the Summary
       Compensation Table on page 36.

The retirement benefits shown above for SCIRP, the Pension Restoration Plan
and SERP are amounts calculated prior to the Social Security offset. The
Social Security offset is equal to one and two-thirds percent of primary
Social Security benefits for each year of Retirement Plan participation up to
30 years or a maximum offset of 50% of primary Social Security benefits.

Mr. Drosdick's employment agreement provides that he is eligible to
participate in SERP and that any SERP benefit payable to him will be offset by
accrued benefits from the pension plans of prior employers. Assuming a
retirement age of 62 and the satisfaction of applicable plan conditions, the
estimated total annual retirement benefit under Sunoco's plans to be paid to
Mr. Drosdick based upon his 2000 salary and annual incentive award would be
approximately $270,000.

                                      42


Mr. Owens' employment agreement provides that he is eligible to participate in
SERP and that any SERP benefit payable to him will be offset by accrued
benefits from the pension plans of prior employers. For purposes of
calculating his benefits under SERP, Mr. Owens has been credited with his
years of service with certain former employers. Assuming a retirement age of
62 and the satisfaction of applicable plan conditions, the estimated total
annual retirement benefit under Sunoco's plans to be paid to Mr. Owens based
upon his 2000 salary and annual incentive award would be approximately
$167,000 prior to offset by his prior employers' pension plan benefits.

Credited years of service under these plans for the Named Executive Officers
as of December 31, 2000 are as follows:

Directors' & Officers' Indemnification Agreements

Sunoco's bylaws require that Sunoco indemnify its directors and officers, to
the extent permitted by Pennsylvania law, against any costs, expenses
(including attorneys' fees) and other liabilities to which they may become
subject by reason of their service to Sunoco. To insure against such
liabilities, Sunoco has purchased liability insurance for its directors and
officers and has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors
and certain key executive officers and other management personnel. This
insurance and the indemnification agreements supplement the provisions in
Sunoco's Articles of Incorporation which eliminate the potential monetary
liability of directors and officers to Sunoco or its shareholders in certain
situations as permitted by law.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Sunoco believes that during 2000, all SEC filings of its officers and
directors complied with the requirements of Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act, based on a review of forms filed, or written notice that no
annual forms were required. Sunoco is not aware of any shareholder who owned
10 percent or more of Sunoco common stock during 2000.

  2.1 Purpose. The purpose of the Executive Incentive Plan is to promote the
achievement of the Company's short-term, targeted business objectives by
providing competitive incentive reward opportunities to those employees who
can significantly impact the Company's performance. The Plan enhances the
Company's ability to attract, develop and motivate individuals as members of a
talented management team while aligning their interest with those of the
shareholders. As described herein, the awards made under the Plan may
recognize Company, business unit, team and/or individual performance.


  2.2 Effective Date. This amendment and restatement of the Plan is effective
May 3, 2001.

  2.3 Administration. The Committee shall have full power and authority to
construe, interpret and administer the Plan and to make rules and regulations
subject to the provisions of the Plan. All decisions, actions, determinations
or interpretations of the Committee shall be made in its sole discretion and
shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.

  2.4 Eligibility and Participation. Participation in the Plan is limited to
Executive Resource Employees and other employees evaluated in positions with
Grades 11, 12 and 13 at any time during the Plan Year.

                                  ARTICLE III

                  Determination of Guideline Incentive Awards

  3.1 Guideline Percentages. Within the time prescribed by Section 162(m) of
the Code, the Committee will establish, in writing, for the applicable Plan
Year, the guideline incentive opportunities for Participants as a percentage
of actual salary in effect on the last day of the final pay period of the
current Plan Year.

  3.2 Guideline Incentive Award. The Guideline Incentive Award is calculated
for each Participant by multiplying the individual Participant's actual salary
in effect on the last day of

                                      A-7


the final pay period of the current Plan Year by the applicable guideline
percentage established by the Committee.

  Actual incentive awards to individual Participants may be greater or lesser
than this guideline depending on Company and, as necessary, business unit,
team and/or individual Participant performance.

                                  ARTICLE IV

                       Determination of Incentive Award

  4.1 Performance Goals.

  (a) Five Most Highly Compensated Officers: For a Participant who is one of
the top five most highly compensated officers of the Company during the
applicable Plan Year, the amount of any Incentive Award earned will be based
upon the attainment of Performance Goals established by the Committee in
accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code. Within the time prescribed by
Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee will establish, in writing, the
weighted Performance Goals and related Performance Factors for various goal
achievement levels for the applicable Plan Year, and will determine the
appropriate methodology for including Company, business unit, team and/or
individual performance in the Incentive Award computations for such year.

  In establishing the weighted Performance Goals, the Committee shall take the
necessary steps to insure that the ability to achieve the pre-established
goals is uncertain at the time the goals are set. The established written
Performance Goals, assigned weights, and Performance Factors shall be written
in terms of an objective formula, whereby any third party having knowledge of
the relevant Company, business unit, team and/or individual performance
results could calculate the amount to be paid. Such Performance Goals may vary
by Participant and by award.

    (1) Adjustment or Modification of Performance Goals. The Committee, in
  its discretion (and within the time prescribed by Section 162(m) of the
  Code), may adjust or modify the calculation of Performance Goals to prevent
  dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants:

      (i) in the event of, in recognition of, or in anticipation of, any
    unanticipated, unusual nonrecurring or extraordinary corporate item,
    transaction, event, or development; or

      (ii) in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in applicable
    laws, regulations, accounting principles, or business conditions.

    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if any provision of the
  Plan or any Incentive Award granted to an individual who is one of the top
  five most highly compensated officers of the Company hereunder would not
  comply with Section 162(m) of the Code, such provision or Incentive Award
  shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to Section 162(m) of the
  Code.

                                      A-8


    (2) Determination of Performance Factor. After the end of each Plan Year,
  the Committee will determine:

      (i) the extent to which the Company, business unit and/or team
    Performance Goals have been met; and

      (ii) the Company, business unit and/or team Performance Factor (each
    of which may vary from 0% to 200%), appropriate to the level of
    performance achieved with respect to each Performance Goal.

  (b) Other Participants: For a Participant who is not one of the top five
most highly compensated officers of the Company during the applicable Plan
Year, the amount of any Incentive Award earned will be based upon the
attainment of Performance Goals established as provided in this Section
4.1(b). For each Plan Year, the CEO, and if so delegated, other members of the
Executive Team will determine the appropriate methodology for including
Company, business unit, team and individual performance in the Incentive Award
computations for such year. While Company Performance will always be included
in the computation, the other factors may or may not be included as deemed
appropriate by the Executive Team. The applicable Performance Factors shall be
determined as follows:

    (1) Determination of Performance Factor Applicable to Company. For each
  Plan Year, the Compensation Committee shall establish annual Performance
  Goal(s) for the Company, based on one or more criteria that the
  Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to be
  applicable.

    After the end of each calendar year, the Compensation Committee will
  determine the extent to which such Performance Goals have been met and the
  appropriate Company Performance Factor, from 0% to 200%, that is
  appropriate with the varying levels of performance for each goal.

    (2) Determination of Business Unit and Team Performance Factors. The CEO,
  and if so delegated, other members of the Executive Team shall determine
  the annual business unit Performance Goal(s) and the applicable levels of
  performance based on one or more factors. Business unit leaders will
  establish annual Performance Goal(s) for any teams within their respective
  business units.

    After the end of each calendar year, the CEO, and if so delegated, other
  members of the Executive Team will determine the extent to which the
  business unit Performance Goals have been met and the business unit
  Performance Factor, from 0% to 200%, that is appropriate with the varying
  levels of performance for each goal. Business unit leaders will similarly
  evaluate the performance of any teams to determine the appropriate
  Performance Factor applicable to such team.

  4.2 Individual Performance Factors. Incentive Awards under this Plan may be
based, in whole or in part, upon the attainment of individual performance
objectives or targets. For a Participant who is one of the top five most
highly compensated officers of the Company during the applicable Plan Year,
the Committee will establish, in writing, individual

                                      A-9


performance objectives or targets in accordance with Section 162(m) of the
Code and Section 4.1 hereof. For all other Participants, the recommended
individual performance assessment process is briefly outlined as follows:

    (a) Prior to the beginning of each Plan Year or other appropriate time,
  the Participant and his or her manager will agree on individual performance
  targets or objectives (which may be related to the Participant's
  collaboration on a work team) to be attained during the Plan Year.

    (b) Progress toward attainment of such individual targets or objectives
  will be formally reviewed on a periodic basis.

    (c) At the end of the year, the manager will assess the degree to which
  the individual performance targets or objectives have been achieved,
  keeping in mind environmental or circumstantial changes that may have
  affected the original targets or objectives. Specifically, consideration
  should be given to:

       (1) level of contributions relative to peers.

       (2) degree of difficulty of performance targets.

       (3) reaction to unanticipated changes in the business environment.

       (4) unplanned contributions.

       (5) team performance, as appropriate.

    (d) While the level of individual performance for the Plan should be
  based primarily on annual targets and objectives, the performance factors
  utilized for this program should be consistent with appraisals used for the
  purposes of salary administration as updated to reflect performance since
  the last appraisal.

    (e) The performance appraisal should be documented in such a way as to
  identify the performance targets and objectives, the assessment of
  individual performance against such targets and objectives, and any other
  significant information to support the recommendation.

    (f) The Participant's individual performance factor should be determined
  based upon the individual performance assessment as outlined below:



     Individual Performance                             Adjustment to Individual
     Assessments                                        Performance Components*
     ----------------------                             ------------------------
                                                     
     Exceed all performance targets....................        150% to 200%
     Exceed most performance targets...................        115% to 145%
     Met most performance targets......................         90% to 110%
     Met some/few performance targets..................         50% to  85%
     Completely unacceptable performance...............        0%

    --------
    * All assessments should be multiples of 5%.

                                     A-10


    (g) The Participant's individual performance assessment will be
  determined by his or her manager and approved by the appropriate member of
  the Executive Team and, where appropriate, the CEO.

                                   ARTICLE V

                Forfeiture and/or Proration of Incentive Award

  5.1 Forfeiture. Provided that no Change in Control of the Company has
occurred, if a Participant voluntarily terminates his or her employment with
the Company (for any reason other than retirement, death, permanent
disability, approved leave of absence) prior to December 31 of any Plan Year,
such Participant will not receive payment of any Incentive Award for such Plan
Year. Likewise, a Participant will not receive payment of any Incentive Award
for a particular Plan Year if no Change in Control has occurred and the
Participant's employment with the Company is terminated for Ordinary Just
Cause before March 15 of the succeeding calendar year.

  5.2 Proration. A Pro-rated Bonus Award, reflecting participation for a
portion of the Plan Year, will be paid to any Participant whose employment
status changed during the year as a result of death or permanent disability

absence, or termination at the Company's request (other than for Ordinary Just
Cause). New hires and part-time employees also will receive a Pro-rated Bonus
Award. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any Pro-rated Bonus Award
payable hereunder will be paid on the date when Incentive Awards are otherwise
payable as provided in the Plan.

                                  ARTICLE VI

                Timing, Form of Payment, and Deferral of Awards

  6.1 Timing and Form of Payment.

    (a) Certification in Writing. Prior to the payment of any Incentive Award
  under this Plan, the Committee will certify in writing that the applicable
  Performance Goals, and any other material terms or conditions of such
  award, have been satisfied. In making this certification, the Committee
  will be entitled to rely upon an appropriate officer's certificate from the
  Company's Chief Financial Officer. Upon approval by the Committee of the
  individual Incentive Awards for the top five most highly compensated
  officers of the Company and the aggregate amount of all Incentive Awards
  for the Plan Year, and subject to Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof, payment of
  the individual awards will be made in cash less the withholding of
  appropriate taxes. Payment will be made not later than March 15th of the
  calendar year following each Plan Year.

    (b) Negative Discretion. The Committee will have the discretion, by
  Participant and by grant, to reduce (but not to increase) some or all of
  the amount of any Incentive Award that would otherwise be payable by reason
  of the satisfaction of the Performance Goals. In making any such
  determination, the Committee is authorized to take into account any such
  factor or factors it determines are appropriate, including but not limited

                                     A-11


  to Company, business unit and individual performance; provided, however,
  the exercise of such negative discretion with respect to one executive may
  not be used to increase the amount of any award otherwise payable to
  another executive.

  6.2 Deferral of Awards.

    (a) Deferral by Participant. Certain executives may elect to defer their
  Incentive Award under the terms of the Sunoco, Inc. Deferred Compensation
  Plan.

    (b) Deferral by Committee. Each year in conjunction with the granting of
  an Annual Incentive Award to a Participant in this Plan, the Committee, in
  its sole discretion, may cause all or a portion of such Annual Incentive
  Award to be deferred under the terms of the Sunoco, Inc. Deferred
  Compensation Plan. Any portion of the Annual Incentive Award which is
  deferred shall be credited to a Participant's account under the Deferred
  Compensation Plan at the time the bonus would otherwise have been paid had
  no Committee action to defer been taken.

  6.3 Awards of Sunoco Stock. In the sole discretion of the Committee, all or
a portion of each Participant's Incentive Award may be paid in shares of
Sunoco Stock, all or a portion of which may be subject to certain restrictions
for failure to meet applicable minimum stock ownership guidelines, or
otherwise.

    (a) For a Participant subject to minimum stock ownership guidelines (as
  established from time to time by the Committee or the Company), but failing
  to meet the applicable personal ownership requirement within the prescribed
  period, the Committee may award shares of Sunoco Stock, from the treasury
  of the Company, subject to appropriate restrictions on sale, exchange,
  transfer, pledge, hypothecation, gift or other disposition.

    (b) The number of shares of Sunoco Stock to be issued from the Company's
  treasury pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be determined by dividing:

      (1) the amount of the Incentive Award to be paid in Sunoco Stock; by

      (2) the average Fair Market Value of Sunoco Stock during the ten (10)
    consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date on which the
    Incentive Award is to be paid.

    (c) All tax withholding will be satisfied from that remaining portion of
  the Incentive Award paid in cash.

  7.2 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the CIC
Incentive Award shall be payable in cash within thirty (30) days of the
occurrence of a Change in Control (or as soon as it is practicable to
determine the appropriate Performance Factors under Subsection (a) below) to
all CIC Participants. Such award shall be calculated according to the terms of
the Plan, except as follows:

    (a) The applicable Performance Factors shall be determined based upon
  performance of the Company, business unit and/or team, as the case may be,
  from January 1 through the end of the most recent quarter (prior to the
  Change in Control) for which the Company has reported its earnings to the
  public. Notwithstanding the methodology established by the Committee for
  the Plan Year, there shall be no adjustment for individual performance
  factors in the determination of the CIC Incentive Award. If a specified
  percentage of the Guideline Award was to be based upon individual
  performance, such percentage will be adjusted using the weighted average of
  the Performance Factors applicable to Company and, as necessary, business
  unit and/or team performance used to determine the non-individual
  performance components of the CIC Participant's award.

    (b) The amount of the CIC Incentive Award shall be equal to the
  respective annual Guideline Incentive Award adjusted to reflect the
  Performance Factors applicable to Company and, as necessary, business unit
  and/or team performance (calculated in accordance with subsection (a)
  hereof), multiplied by the number of full and partial months in the CIC
  Short Period divided by twelve (12). Such result shall be further adjusted
  to reflect participation for only a portion of the CIC Short Period in
  accordance with Section 5.2.

    (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.3 hereof, effective upon
  a Change in Control, no action by the Committee or the Board of Directors
  may terminate or reduce the benefits or prospective benefits of any CIC
  Participant on the date of reference without the express written consent of
  such CIC Participant.

  7.3 Attorney's Fees. The Company shall pay all reasonable legal fees and
related expenses incurred by a Participant in seeking to obtain or enforce any
payment, benefit or other right such Participant may be entitled to under the
Plan after a Change in Control; provided, however, that the Participant shall
be required to repay any such amounts to the Company to the extent a court of
competent jurisdiction issues a final and non-appealable order setting forth
the determination that the position taken by the Participant was frivolous or
advanced in bad faith.

                                 ARTICLE VIII

                                 Miscellaneous

  8.1 Funding of Plan. In a meeting to be held not later than December 31st of

estimate of the amount of monies, if any, that should be set aside for the
current Plan Year for payment to Participants in the following calendar year.

                                     A-13


  8.2 Construction. Nothing in this Plan or in any agreement or other
instrument executed pursuant thereto shall be construed as conferring upon any
Participant the right to receive executive incentive compensation or to be
continued in the employ of the Company and any rights conferred by this Plan
may not be transferred, sold, assigned, pledged, anticipated or otherwise
disposed of other than by will or intestate laws.

  8.3 Amendment. This Plan may be amended at any time by the Committee and may
be terminated in whole or in part at any time by the Board of Directors
(except as set forth in Section 7.2(c)).

    compensation plan in which such Participant was participating
    immediately prior to the Change in Control; provided, however, that in
    the aggregate such actions by the Company significantly reduce the
    Participant's total compensation (i.e., the sum of Participant's annual
    base salary, guideline (target) bonus, and the aggregate value to the
    Participant of all employee benefit and compensation plans); or the
    failure by the Company, without the Participant's consent, to pay to
    the Participant any portion of the Participant's current compensation,
    or to pay to the Participant any portion of an installment of deferred
    compensation under any deferred compensation program of the Company; or

    immediately preceding the Change in Control;

  provided, however, that in the case of any such termination of employment
  by the Participant under this subparagraph (b), such termination shall not
  be deemed to be a Qualifying Termination unless the termination occurs
  within 120 days after the occurrence of the event or events constituting
  the reason for the termination; or

    (c) a termination of employment by the Company other than a termination
  for Just Cause, or a termination of employment by the Participant for one
  of the reasons set forth in (b) above, following a Potential Change in
  Control, if the Participant can demonstrate that such termination or
  circumstance in (b) above leading to termination:

      (1) was at the request of a third party with which the Company had
    entered into negotiations or an agreement with regard to a Change in
    Control; or

      (2) otherwise occurred in connection with, or in anticipation of, a
    Change in Control;

  provided, however, that in either such case, such Change in Control
  actually occurs within one (1) year following the Employment Termination
  Date.

Background, Purpose and Term of Plan; Participation & Eligibility for Benefits

                                      B-6


  2.2 Purpose of the Plan. The purposes of this Sunoco, Inc. Long-Term

  Company by creating a direct linkage between Participants' rewards and
  shareholders' gains;

    (b) provide management with the ability to increase equity ownership in
  Sunoco, Inc.;

    (c) provide competitive compensation opportunities that can be realized
  through attainment of performance goals; and

  It is intended that most awards made under the Plan will qualify as
performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

  2.3 Term of the Plan. This Plan will become effective upon approval by the
holders of a majority of the votes present, in person or represented by proxy,
at the 2001 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company. No awards will be
made under the Plan after December 31, 2006, unless the Board of Directors
extends this date to a date no later than December 31, 2011. The Plan and all
awards made under the Plan prior to such date (or extended date) shall remain
in effect until such awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance
with the Plan and the terms of such awards.

  2.4 Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which
shall have the authority, in its sole discretion and from time to time to:

    (a) designate the employees or directors, or classes of employees or
  directors, eligible to participate in the Plan (each such employee or
  director being a "Participant");

    (b) grant awards provided in the Plan in such form and amount as the
  Committee shall determine;

    (c) impose such limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any such
  award as the Committee shall deem appropriate; and

    (d) interpret the Plan, adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations
  relating to the Plan, and make all other determinations and take all other

  the Plan.

  The decisions and determinations of the Committee on all matters relating to
the Plan shall be in its sole discretion and shall be conclusive. No member of
the Committee shall be liable for any action taken or not taken or decision
made or not made in good faith relating to the Plan or any award thereunder.

  2.5 Eligibility for Participation. Participants in the Plan shall be:

    (a) non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company; and

                                      B-7


    (b) those officers and other key employees occupying responsible
  managerial or professional positions at the Company, and capable of
  substantially contributing to its success.

  In making this selection and in determining the amount of awards, the
Committee shall consider any factors deemed relevant, including the
individual's functions, responsibilities, value of services to the Company and
past and potential contributions to its profitability and sound growth.

  2.6 Types of Awards Under the Plan. Awards under the Plan may be in the form
of any one or more of the following:

    (a) Stock Options, as described in Article III;

    (b) Incentive Stock Options, as described in Article IV;

    (c) Limited Rights, as described in Article V; and/or

    (d) Common Stock Units, as described in Article VI.

  2.7 Aggregate Limitation on Awards. Shares of stock which may be issued
under the Plan shall be Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common
Stock which may be issued under the Plan shall be four million (4,000,000). No
Option may be granted if the number of shares of Common Stock to which such
Option relates, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock previously
issued under the Plan, exceeds the number of such shares reserved under the
preceding sentence. For purposes of calculating the maximum number of shares
of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan:

    (a) all the shares issued (including the shares, if any, withheld for tax
  withholding requirements) shall be counted when cash is used as full
  payment for shares issued upon exercise of an Option;

    (b) only the shares issued (including the shares, if any, withheld for
  tax withholding requirements) net of shares of Common Stock used as full or
  partial payment for such shares upon exercise of an Option, shall be
  counted; and

    (c) only the shares issued (including the shares, if any, withheld for
  tax withholding) upon vesting and payment of Common Stock Units, shall be
  counted.

  In addition to shares of Common Stock actually issued pursuant to the
exercise of Options, there shall be deemed to have been issued a number of
shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which
Limited Rights (as described in Article V) shall have been exercised. Shares
tendered by a Participant as payment for shares issued upon exercise of an
Option shall be available for issuance under the Plan. Any shares distributed
pursuant to an Option may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and
unissued shares or treasury shares including shares of Common Stock acquired
by purchase in the open market or in private transactions. Any shares of
Common Stock subject to an Option, which for any reason is terminated,
unexercised or expires shall again be available for issuance under the Plan,
but shares subject to an Option that, as a result of the exercise of Limited
Rights, are not issued, shall not be available for issuance under the Plan.

                                      B-8


    (d) The maximum number of Options that shall be granted in any calendar
  year to a Participant shall be four hundred thousand (400,000).

    (e) The maximum number of Common Stock Units granted in any calendar year
  to a Participant shall be fifty thousand (50,000).

    (f) The maximum number of Common Stock Units granted under the Plan will
  be one million (1,000,000).

  The share limits set forth in this Section 2.7 shall be adjusted to reflect
any capitalization changes as discussed in Section 7.9.

                                  ARTICLE III

                                 Stock Options

  3.1 Award of Stock Options. The Committee, from time to time, and subject to
the provisions of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as the
Committee may prescribe, may grant to any Participant in the Plan one or more
options to purchase for cash or shares the number of shares of Common Stock
("Stock Options") allotted by the Committee. The date a Stock Option is
granted shall mean the date selected by the Committee as of which the
Committee allots a specific number of options to a Participant pursuant to the
Plan.

  3.2 Stock Option Agreements. The grant of a Stock Option shall be evidenced
by a written Stock Option Agreement, executed by the Company and the holder of
a Stock Option, stating the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the
Stock Option evidenced thereby, and in such form as the Committee may from
time to time determine.

  3.3 Stock Option Price. The Option Price per share of Common Stock
deliverable upon the exercise of a Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of
the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Stock Option
is granted.

  3.4 Term and Exercise. The term and the vesting schedule of the Stock
Options shall be determined by the Committee. However, no Stock Option may be
exercisable before the first anniversary of the date of grant or after the
tenth anniversary of such date. No Stock Option shall be exercisable after the
expiration of its term.

  3.5 Transferability. No Stock Option may be transferred by the Participant
other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution or, to the extent
not inconsistent with the applicable provisions of the Code, pursuant to a
domestic relations order under applicable provisions of law, and during the
Participant's lifetime the option may be exercised only by the Participant;
provided, however, that, subject to such limits as the Committee may
establish, the Committee, in its discretion, may allow the Participant to
transfer a Stock Option for no consideration to, or for the benefit of, an
Immediate Family Member or to a bona fide trust for the exclusive benefit of
such Immediate Family Members, or a partnership or limited liability company
in which such Immediate Family Members are the only partners or members.

                                      B-9


  Such transfer may only be effected following the advance written notice from
the Participant to the Committee, describing the terms and conditions of the
proposed transfer, and such transfer shall become effective only when recorded
in the Company's record of outstanding Stock Options. Any such transferable
Stock Option is further conditioned on the Participant and such Immediate
Family Member or other transferee agreeing to abide by the Company's then-
current Stock Option transfer guidelines. In the discretion of the Committee,
the foregoing right to transfer a Stock Option also will apply to the right to
transfer ancillary rights associated with such Stock Option, and to the right
to consent to any amendment to the applicable Stock Option Agreement.

  Subsequent transfers shall be prohibited except in accordance with the laws
of descent and distribution, or by will. Following transfer, any such Stock
Options shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were
applicable immediately prior to transfer, and the terms "Optionee" or
"Participant" shall be deemed to include the transferee; provided, however,
that the events of termination of employment of Sections 3.8 ("Retirement or
Disability"), 3.9 ("Termination for Other Reasons") and 3.10 ("Death of
Optionee") hereof shall continue to be applied with respect to the original
Optionee, following which the options shall be exercisable by the transferee
only to the extent, and for the respective periods specified therein. Neither
the Committee nor the Company will have any obligation to inform any
transferee of a Stock Option or stock appreciation right of any expiration,
termination, lapse or acceleration of such Option. The Company will have no
obligation to register with any federal or state securities commission or
agency any Common Stock issuable or issued under a Stock Option or stock
appreciation right that has been transferred by a Participant under this
Section 3.5.

  3.6 Manner of Payment. Each Stock Option Agreement shall set forth the
procedure governing the exercise of the Stock Option granted thereunder, and
shall provide that, upon such exercise in respect of any shares of Common
Stock subject thereto, the Optionee shall pay to the Company, in full, the
Option Price for such shares (together with payment for any taxes which the
Company is required by law to withhold by reason of such exercise) with cash
or with Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock issued under this Plan, or
any other Company plan, must be held at least six (6) months before they may
be used as payment of the Option Price.

  3.7 Issuance and Delivery of Shares. As soon as practicable after receipt of
payment, the Company shall deliver to the Optionee a certificate or
certificates for, or otherwise register the Optionee on the books and records
of the Company as a holder of, such shares of Common Stock. The Optionee shall
become a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Common Stock so
registered, or represented by share certificates so issued, and as such shall
be fully entitled to receive dividends, to vote and to exercise all other
rights of a shareholder except to the extent otherwise provided in the Option
award.

    (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and at the discretion of the
  Committee, any Optionee subject to minimum stock ownership guidelines (as
  established from time to time by the Committee or the Company), but failing
  to meet the applicable personal ownership requirement within the prescribed
  period may, upon exercise of the Options,

                                     B-10


  receive a number of shares of Common Stock subject to the following
  restrictions which shall remain in place until compliance with such
  ownership guidelines is attained:

      (1) The number of shares subject to the restrictions shall be equal
    to the total number of shares received in the exercise of the Options,
    minus the sum of:

              (i) to the extent that shares received upon exercise of the
            Option are used to pay the Option Price, the number of shares
            which have a Fair Market Value on the date of the Option exercise
            equal to the total amount paid for all the shares received in the
            Option exercise; and

              (ii) to the extent that shares received upon exercise of the
            Option are used to pay taxes and brokerage fees, the number of
            shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of the Option
            exercise equal to the applicable federal, state and local
            withholding tax on the total Option exercise and any brokerage
            commission or interest charges, if applicable to the exercise.

      (2) Other than transfers to family members or trusts that are
    permitted in accordance with the applicable stock ownership guidelines,
    and that will not result in a reduction in the level of ownership
    attributable to the Participant under such guidelines, the Optionee
    shall be prohibited from effecting the sale, exchange, transfer,
    pledge, hypothecation, gift or other disposition of such shares of
    Common Stock until the earlier of:

              (i) attainment of compliance with applicable stock ownership
            guidelines;

              (ii) the Optionee's death, retirement, or permanent disability
            (as determined by the Committee); or

              (iii) occurrence of the Optionee's Employment Termination Date,
            for any reason other than Just Cause.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, six (6) months after the exercise of
    the Stock Option, such shares of Common Stock may be used as payment of
    the Option Price of shares issued upon the exercise of other Stock
    Options. However, all such shares issued will be restricted shares.

      (3) The restrictions shall apply to any new, additional or different
    securities the Optionee may become entitled to receive with respect to
    such shares by virtue of a stock split or stock dividend or any other
    change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company.

    (b) Until such time as the restrictions hereunder lapse, the shares will
  be held in "book-entry form" and appropriate notation of these restrictions
  will be maintained in the records of the Company's transfer agent and
  registrar. Any share certificate representing such shares will bear a
  conspicuous legend evidencing these restrictions, and the Company may
  require the Optionee to deposit the share certificate with the Company or
  its agent, endorsed in blank or accompanied by a duly executed irrevocable
  stock power or other instrument of transfer.

                                     B-11


  3.8 Retirement or Disability. Upon termination of the Optionee's employment
by reason of retirement or permanent disability (as each is determined by the
Committee), the Optionee may, within sixty (60) months from the date of
termination, exercise any Stock Options to the extent such options are
exercisable during such 60-month period.

  3.9 Termination for Other Reasons. Except as provided in Sections 3.8 and
3.10, or except as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon termination of
an Optionee's employment, all unvested Stock Options shall terminate
immediately, and all vested Stock Options shall terminate:

    (a) immediately, in the case of an Optionee terminated by the Company for
  Just Cause; or

    (b) upon the expiration of ninety (90) calendar days following the
  occurrence of the Optionee's Employment Termination Date, other than for
  Just Cause;

provided, however, that the Limited Rights awarded in tandem with such Stock
Options shall not terminate and such Limited Rights shall remain exercisable
during the Exercise Period for any Optionee whose employment relationship with
the Company has been terminated as a result of any Qualifying Termination.

  3.10 Death of Optionee. Any rights in respect of Stock Options to the extent
exercisable on the date of the Optionee's death may be exercised by the
Optionee's estate or by any person that acquires the legal right to exercise
such Stock Option by bequest, inheritance, or otherwise by reason of the death
of the Optionee. Any such exercise to be valid must occur within the remaining
option term of the Stock Option. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.10
shall apply to an Optionee who dies while employed by the Company and to an
Optionee whose employment may have terminated prior to death; provided,
however, that:

    (a) an Optionee who dies while employed by the Company will be treated as
  if the Optionee had retired on the date of death. Accordingly, the
  Optionee's estate or a person who acquires the right to exercise such Stock
  Option by bequest or inheritance will have the right to exercise the Stock
  Option in accordance with Section 3.8; or

    (b) the estate or a person who acquires the right to exercise a Stock
  Option by bequest or inheritance from an Optionee who dies after
  terminating employment with the Company will have the remainder of any
  exercise period provided under Sections 3.8 and 3.9.

  3.11 Acceleration of Options. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary
in agreements evidencing Options granted thereunder, each outstanding Option
shall become immediately and fully exercisable upon the occurrence of any
Change in Control of Sunoco, Inc.

  3.12 Effect of Exercise. The exercise of any Stock Options shall cancel that
number of related Limited Rights, if any, which is equal to the number of
shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to said Options.

                                     B-12


                                  ARTICLE IV

                            Incentive Stock Options

  4.1 Award of Incentive Stock Options. The Committee, from time to time, and
subject to the provisions of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as
the Committee may prescribe, may grant to any Participant in the Plan one or
more "incentive stock options" (intended to qualify as such under the
provisions of Section 422 of the Code ("Incentive Stock Options")) to purchase
for cash or shares the number of shares of Common Stock allotted by the
Committee. The date an Incentive Stock Option is granted shall mean the date
selected by the Committee as of which the Committee allots a specific number
of options to a Participant pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Incentive Stock Options shall not be granted to any owner of ten
percent (10%) or more of the total combined voting power of the Company and
its subsidiaries.

  4.2 Incentive Stock Option Agreements. The grant of an Incentive Stock
Option shall be evidenced by a written Incentive Stock Option Agreement,
executed by the Company and the holder of an Incentive Stock Option stating
the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option
evidenced thereby, and in such form as the Committee may from time to time
determine.

  4.3 Incentive Stock Option Price. The Option Price per share of Common Stock
deliverable upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the
Incentive Stock Option is granted.

  4.4 Term and Exercise. The term and the vesting schedule of the Incentive
Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee. However, no Incentive Stock
Option may be exercisable before the first anniversary of the date of grant or
after the tenth anniversary of such date. No Incentive Stock Option shall be
exercisable after the expiration of its term.

  4.5 Limits on Incentive Stock Options. Each Incentive Stock Option shall
provide that, if the aggregate Fair Market Value of the stock on the date of
grant with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the
first time by an Optionee during any calendar year, under this Plan or any
other stock option plan of the Company exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000.00), then the Option, as to the excess shall be treated as a non-
qualified stock option. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be granted to any
person who is not an "employee" of the Company (within the meaning of Section
424(f) of the Code).

  4.6 Retirement or Disability. Upon the termination of the Optionee's
employment by reason of retirement or permanent disability (as each is
determined by the Committee), the Optionee may, within sixty (60) months from
the date of such termination of employment, exercise any Incentive Stock
Options to the extent such Incentive Stock Options are exercisable during such
60-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the tax treatment available
pursuant to Section 422 of the Code upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock
Option will not be available to an Optionee who exercises any Incentive Stock
Option more than:

    (a) twelve (12) months after the date of termination of employment due to
  permanent disability; or

    (b) three (3) months after the date of termination of employment due to
  retirement.

                                     B-13


  4.7 Termination for Other Reasons. Except as provided in Sections 4.6 and
4.8, or except as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon termination of
an Optionee's employment, all unvested Incentive Stock Options shall terminate
immediately, and all vested Incentive Stock Options shall terminate:

    (a) immediately, in the case of an Optionee terminated by the Company for
  Just Cause; or

    (b) upon the expiration of ninety (90) calendar days following the date
  of termination of an Optionee's employment other than for Just Cause;

provided, however, that the Limited Rights awarded in tandem with such
Incentive Stock Options shall not terminate and such Limited Rights shall
remain exercisable during the Exercise Period for any Optionee whose
employment relationship with the Company has been terminated as a result of
any Qualifying Termination.

  4.8 Death of Optionee. Any rights in respect of Incentive Stock Options to
the extent exercisable on the date of the Optionee's death may be exercised by
the Optionee's estate or by any person that acquires the legal right to
exercise such Stock Option by bequest, inheritance, or otherwise by reason of
the death of the Optionee. Any such exercise to be valid must occur within the
remaining option term of the Incentive Stock Option. The foregoing provisions
of this Section 4.8 shall apply to an Optionee who dies while employed by the
Company and to an Optionee whose employment may have terminated prior to
death; provided, however, that:

    (a) an Optionee who dies while employed by the Company will be treated as
  if the Optionee had retired on the date of death. Accordingly, the
  Optionee's estate or a person who acquires the right to exercise such
  Incentive Stock Option by bequest or inheritance will have the right to
  exercise the Incentive Stock Option in accordance with Section 4.6; or

    (b) the estate or a person who acquires the right to exercise a stock
  option by bequest or inheritance from an Optionee who dies after
  terminating employment with the Company will have the remainder of any
  exercise period provided under Section 4.6 and 4.7.

  4.9 Applicability of Stock Options Selections. Section 3.6 ("Manner of
Payment"), Section 3.7 ("Issuance and Delivery of Shares"), Section 3.11
("Acceleration of Options") and Section 3.12 ("Effect of Exercise"),
applicable to Stock Options, shall apply equally to Incentive Stock Options.
Said Sections are incorporated by reference in this Article IV as though fully
set forth herein.

                                   ARTICLE V

                                Limited Rights

  5.1 Award of Limited Rights. Concurrently with or subsequent to the award of
any Option, the Committee may, subject to the provisions of the Plan and such
other terms and

                                     B-14


conditions as the Committee may prescribe, award to the Optionee with respect
to each Option, a related limited right permitting the Optionee, during a
specified limited time period, to be paid the appreciation on the Option in
lieu of exercising the Option ("Limited Right").

  5.2 Limited Rights Agreement. Limited Rights granted under the Plan shall be
evidenced by written agreements in such form as the Committee may from time to
time determine.

  5.3 Exercise Period. Limited Rights are immediately exercisable in full upon
grant for a period of up to seven (7) months following the date of a Change in
Control (the "Exercise Period").

  5.4 Amount of Payment. The amount of payment to which an Optionee shall be
entitled upon the exercise of each Limited Right shall be equal to 100% of the
amount, if any, which is equal to the difference between the Option Price of
the related Option and the Market Price of a share of such Common Stock.
Market Price is defined to be the greater of:

    (a) the highest price per share of Common Stock paid, in connection with
  any Change in Control, during the period from the date of occurrence of a
  Potential Change in Control through the ninetieth (90th) day following the
  subsequent related Change in Control; and

    (b) the highest price per share of Common Stock reflected in the
  consolidated trading tables of The Wall Street Journal (presently the New
  York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions quotations) during the 60-day
  period prior to the Change in Control.

  5.5 Form of Payment. Payment of the amount to which an Optionee is entitled
upon the exercise of Limited Rights, as determined pursuant to Section 5.4,
shall be made solely in cash.

  5.6 Effect of Exercise. If Limited Rights are exercised, the Stock Options,
if any, related to such Limited Rights cease to be exercisable to the extent
of the number of shares with respect to which the Limited Rights were
exercised. Upon the exercise or termination of the Options, if any, related to
such Limited Rights, the Limited Rights granted with respect thereto terminate
to the extent of the number of shares as to which the related Options were
exercised or terminated; provided, however, that with respect to Options that
are terminated as a result of the termination of the Optionee's employment
status, the Limited Rights awarded in tandem therewith shall not terminate and
such Limited Rights shall remain exercisable during the Exercise Period for
any Optionee whose employment relationship with the Company has been
terminated as a result of any Qualifying Termination.

  5.7 Retirement or Disability. Upon termination of the Optionee's employment
by reason of permanent disability or retirement (as each is determined by the
Committee), the Optionee may, within six (6) months from the date of
termination, exercise any Limited Rights to the extent such Limited Right is
exercisable during such six-month period.

  5.8 Death of Optionee or Termination for Other Reasons. Except as provided
in Sections 5.7 and 5.9 or except as otherwise determined by the Committee,
all Limited Rights

                                     B-15


granted under the Plan shall terminate upon the termination of the Optionee's
employment or upon the death of the Optionee.

  5.9 Termination Related to a Change in Control. The requirement that an
Optionee be terminated by reason of retirement or permanent disability or be
employed by the Company at the time of exercise pursuant to Sections 5.7 and
5.8, respectively, is waived during the Exercise Period as to any Optionee
whose employment relationship with the Company has been terminated as a result
of any Qualifying Termination.

                                  ARTICLE VI

                              Common Stock Units

  6.1 Award of Common Stock Units. The Committee, from time to time, and
subject to the provisions of the Plan, may grant to any Participant in the
Plan rights to receive shares of Common Stock which are subject to a risk of
forfeiture by the Participant ("Common Stock Units"). At the time it grants
any Common Stock Units, the Committee shall determine whether the payment of
such Common Stock Units shall be conditioned upon either:

    (a) the Participant's continued employment with the Company throughout a
  stated period (Section 6.4); or

    (b) the attainment of certain predetermined performance objectives during
  a stated period (Section 6.5).

  The date Common Stock Units are granted shall mean the date selected by the
Committee as of which the Committee allots a specific number of Common Stock
Units to a Participant pursuant to the Plan.

  6.2 Common Stock Unit Agreements. Common Stock Units granted under the Plan
shall be evidenced by written agreements stating the number of Common Stock
Units evidenced thereby or in such form and as the Committee may from time to
time determine.

  6.3 Dividend Equivalents. A holder of Common Stock Units will be entitled to
receive payment from the Company in an amount equal to each cash dividend
("Dividend Equivalent") the Company would have paid to such holder had he, on
the record date for payment of such dividend, been the holder of record of
shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Common Stock Units which had
been awarded to such holder as of the close of business on such record date.
The Company shall establish a bookkeeping account on behalf of each
Participant in which the Dividend Equivalents that would have been paid to the
holder of Common Stock Units ("Dividend Equivalent Account") shall be
credited. The Dividend Equivalent Account will not bear interest.

  6.4 Performance Period. Upon making an award, the Committee shall determine
(and the Common Stock Unit Agreement shall state) the length of the applicable
period during which employment must be maintained or certain performance
targets must be attained (the "Performance Period"). Performance Periods will
normally be from three (3) to five (5) years; provided, however, that the
Committee at its sole discretion may establish other time periods; and further
provided, that the Performance Period for an award conditioned upon a
Participant's continued employment with the Company shall not be less than
three (3) years.

                                     B-16


  6.5 Performance Goals. Common Stock Units and the related Dividend
Equivalent Account earned may be based upon the attainment of Performance
Goals established by the Committee in accordance with Section 162(m) of the
Code. Within the first ninety (90) days of the Performance Period, the
Committee shall establish, in writing, the weighted Performance Goals and
related Performance Factors for various goal achievement levels for the
Company. In establishing the weighted Performance Goals, the Committee shall
take the necessary steps to insure that the Company's ability to achieve the
pre-established goals is uncertain at the time the goals are set. The
established written Performance Goals, assigned weights, and Performance
Factors shall be written in terms of an objective formula, whereby any third
party having knowledge of the relevant Company performance results could
calculate the amount to be paid. Such Performance Goals may vary by
Participant and by grant.

  The number of Common Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents earned will be
equal to the amounts awarded multiplied by the applicable Performance Factors.
However, the Committee shall have the discretion, by Participant and by grant,
to reduce (but not to increase) some or all of the amount that would otherwise
be payable by reason of the satisfaction of the Performance Goals. In making
any such determination, the Committee is authorized to take into account any
such factor or factors it determines are appropriate, including but not
limited to Company, business unit and individual performance.

  6.6 Payment of Common Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Account. Payment
in respect of Common Stock Units earned (as determined under Sections 6.4 and
6.5) shall be made to the holder thereof within ninety (90) days after the
Performance Period for such units has ended, but only to the extent the
Committee certifies in writing that the continuing employment and/or any
applicable performance targets have been met.

  Payment for Common Stock Units earned shall be made in shares of Common
Stock, except as provided in Section 6.9. The number of shares paid shall be
equal to the number of Common Stock Units earned. The holder may elect to
reduce this amount by the number of shares of Common Stock which have, on the
date the Common Stock Units are paid, a fair market value equal to the
applicable federal, state and local withholding tax due on the receipt of
Common Stock, in lieu of making a cash payment equal to the amount of such
withholding tax due. A holder of Common Stock Units will be entitled to
receive from the Company, at the end of the Performance Period, payment of an
amount in cash equal to the Dividend Equivalent Account earned (as determined
under Sections 6.4 and 6.5) by the holder minus applicable federal, state and
local withholding tax due.

    (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and at the discretion of the
  Committee, any Participant subject to minimum stock ownership guidelines
  (as established from time to time by the Committee or the Company), but
  failing to meet the applicable personal ownership requirement within the
  prescribed period may receive a number of shares of Common Stock upon
  payment of the Common Stock Units, subject to the following restrictions
  which shall remain in place until compliance with such ownership guidelines
  is attained:

      (1) The number of shares subject to the restrictions shall be equal
    to the total number of Common Stock Units being paid out, minus the
    number of shares of Common Stock used to pay applicable federal, state
    and local withholding tax on the total payment of such Common Stock
    Units.

                                     B-17


      (2) Other than transfers to family members or trusts that are
    permitted in accordance with the applicable stock ownership guidelines,
    and that will not result in a reduction in the level of ownership
    attributable to the Participant under such guidelines, the Participant
    shall be prohibited from effecting the sale, exchange, transfer,
    pledge, hypothecation, gift or other disposition of such shares of
    Common Stock until the earlier of:

              (i) attainment of compliance with applicable stock ownership
            guidelines;

              (ii) the Participant's death, retirement, or permanent
            disability (as determined by the Committee); or

              (iii) occurrence of the Participant's Employment Termination
            Date, for any reason other than Just Cause.

      (3) These restrictions shall apply to any new, additional or
    different securities the Participant may become entitled to receive
    with respect to such shares by virtue of a stock split or stock
    dividend or any other change in the corporate or capital structure of
    the Company.

    (b) Until such time as the restrictions hereunder lapse, the shares will
  be held in "book-entry form" and appropriate notation of these restrictions
  will be maintained in the records of the Company's transfer agent and
  registrar. Any share certificate representing such shares will bear a
  conspicuous legend evidencing these restrictions, and the Company may
  require the Participant to deposit the share certificate with the Company
  or its agent, endorsed in blank or accompanied by a duly executed
  irrevocable stock power or other instrument of transfer.

  6.7 Death, Disability or Retirement.

    (a) Upon the occurrence of a Participant's Employment Termination Date,
  by reason of death, permanent disability or retirement (as each is
  determined by the Committee) prior to the end of the Performance Period:

      (1) in the case of an award of Common Stock Units made pursuant to
    Section 6.1(a) hereof and conditioned upon the Participant's continued
    employment, the conditions to payout, if any, shall be determined by
    the Committee and shall be as set forth in the agreement granting the
    Common Stock Units.

      (2) in the case of an award of Common Stock Units made pursuant to
    Section 6.1(b) hereof and conditioned upon the attainment of certain
    predetermined performance objectives, no portion of the Participant's
    Common Stock Units and the Dividend Equivalent Account related to such
    award shall be forfeited, and the Common Stock Units, together with
    related Dividend Equivalents, shall be paid out as though such
    Participant continued to be an employee or director of the Company
    through any applicable Performance Period, and as, if, and when the
    applicable Performance Goals have been met.

  6.8 Termination of Employment. Except as provided in Sections 6.7 and 6.9,
or as determined by the Committee, 100% of all Common Stock Units of a
Participant under the

                                     B-18


Plan shall be forfeited and the Dividend Equivalent Account shall be forfeited
upon the occurrence of the Participant's Employment Termination Date prior to
the end of the Performance Period, and in such event the Participant shall not
be entitled to receive any Common Stock or any payment of the Dividend
Equivalent Account regardless of the level of Performance Goals achieved for
the respective Performance Periods.

  6.9 Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, all the
Participant's outstanding Common Stock Units shall be payable to the
Participant in cash or stock, as follows:

    (a) if pooling of interests accounting treatment is to be used with
  respect to such Change in Control, the Participant will receive shares of
  Common Stock equal in number to the total number of Common Stock Units
  granted to such Participant; or

    (b) if pooling of interests accounting treatment is not to be used with
  respect to such Change in Control, the Participant will be paid an amount
  in cash equal to the number of Common Stock Units outstanding multiplied by
  the Market Price as defined in Section 5.4. Such amount will be reduced by
  the applicable federal, state and local withholding taxes due.

  The cash or stock, as the case may be, shall be paid out to the Participant
no later than ninety (90) days following the date of occurrence of such Change
in Control (the "CSU Payout Date"), regardless of whether the applicable
Performance Period has expired or whether performance targets have been met.
There will be no adjustment for any Performance Factors described in Section
6.5.

  On or before the CSU Payout Date, and regardless of whether pooling of
interests accounting treatment is to be used with respect to such Change in
Control, the Participant will be paid an amount in cash equal to the value of
the amounts accrued in the Participant's Dividend Equivalent Account
immediately preceding the Change in Control. Payout of Common Stock Units and
the Dividend Equivalent Account shall be made to each Participant:

    (c) who is employed by the Company on the CSU Payout Date; or

    (d) whose employment relationship with the Company is terminated:

      (1) as a result of any Qualifying Termination prior to the CSU Payout
    Date; or

      (2) as a result of death, permanent disability or retirement (as each
    is determined by the Committee), that has occurred prior to the CSU
    Payout Date.

  The Committee may establish, at the time of the grant of Common Stock Units,
other conditions which must be met for payout to occur. These conditions shall
be set forth in the Committee's resolution granting the Common Stock Units and
in the Agreement with the holder.

                                     B-19


                                  ARTICLE VII

                                 Miscellaneous

  7.1 General Restriction. Each award under the Plan shall be subject to the
requirement that if, at any time, the Committee shall determine that:

    (a) the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common
  Stock subject or related thereto upon any securities exchange or under any
  state or Federal law; or

    (b) the consent or approval of any government regulatory body; or

    (c) an agreement by the recipient of an award with respect to the
  disposition of shares of Common Stock,

is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the
granting of such award or the issue or purchase of shares of Common Stock
thereunder, then such award may not be consummated in whole or in part unless
such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or agreement
shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to
the Committee.

  7.2 Accounting and Tax Treatment for Change in Control. Notwithstanding
anything in this Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control,
the Committee shall not have the right to take any actions described in the
Plan that would make the Change in Control ineligible for pooling of interests
accounting treatment or that would make the Change in Control ineligible for
desired tax treatment if, in the absence of such right, the Change in Control
would qualify for such treatment and the Company intends to use such treatment
with respect to the Change in Control.

  7.3 Non-Assignability. Awards under the Plan shall not be assignable or
transferable by the recipient thereof, except by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution except as otherwise determined by the Committee.
Accordingly, during the life of the recipient, such award shall be exercisable
only by such person or by such person's guardian or legal representative,
unless the Committee determines otherwise.

  7.4 Right to Terminate Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in any agreement
entered into pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon any Participant the right
to continue in the employment of the Company, to continue to be nominated or
serve on the Board of Directors, or affect any right which the Company may
have to terminate the employment of such Participant.

  7.5 Non-Uniform Determinations. The Committee's determinations under the
Plan (including without limitation, determinations of the persons to receive
awards, the form, amount and timing of such awards, the terms and provisions
of such awards, and the agreements evidencing same) need not be uniform and
may be made by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to
receive, awards under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly
situated.

  7.6 Rights as a Shareholder. The recipient of any award under the Plan shall
have no rights as a shareholder with respect thereto unless and until shares
of Common Stock are issued on behalf of such recipient in "book-entry" form,
in the records of the Company's transfer agent and registrar, or certificates
have been issued for such shares.

                                     B-20


  7.7 Leaves of Absence. The Committee shall be entitled to make such rules,
regulations and determinations as it deems appropriate under the Plan in
respect of any leave of absence taken by the recipient of any award. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled to
determine (a) whether or not any such leave of absence shall constitute a
termination of employment within the meaning of the Plan and (b) the impact,
if any, of any such leave of absence on awards under the Plan theretofore made
to any recipient who takes such leaves of absence.

  7.8 Newly Eligible Employees. The Committee shall be entitled to make such
rules, regulations, determinations and awards as it deems appropriate in
respect of any employee who becomes eligible to participate in the Plan or any
portion thereof after the commencement of an award or incentive period.

  7.9 Adjustments. In any event of any change in the outstanding Common Stock
by reason of a stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or the like, the
Committee may appropriately adjust the number of shares of Common Stock which
may be issued under the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to
Options theretofore granted under the Plan, the Option Price of Options
theretofore granted under the Plan, the number of Common Stock Units
theretofore awarded under the Plan and any and all other matters deemed
appropriate by the Committee.

  7.10 Amendment of the Plan.

  (a) The Committee may, without further action by the shareholders and
without receiving further consideration from the Participants, amend this Plan
or condition or modify awards under this Plan in response to changes in
securities or other laws or rules, regulations or regulatory interpretations
thereof applicable to this Plan or to comply with stock exchange rules or
requirements.

  (b) The Committee may at any time, and from time to time, modify or amend
the Plan, or any award granted under the Plan, in any respect; provided,
however, that, without shareholder approval the Committee may not:

    (1) increase the maximum award levels established in Section 2.7,
  including the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued
  under the Plan (other than increases pursuant to Section 7.9);

    (2) extend the term during which an Option may be exercised beyond ten
  years from the date of grant; or

    (3) alter the terms of any Option to reduce the Option Price, or cancel
  any outstanding Option award and replace it with a new Option, having a
  lower Option Price, where the economic effect would be the same as reducing
  the Option Price of the cancelled Option.

  Except as provided in Section 7.10(a) above, no termination, modification or
amendment of the Plan (or any award granted under the Plan), shall, without
the consent of a Participant, affect the Participant's rights under an award
previously granted.
