EXXONMOBIL ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS PLAN

(Including Key Employee Additional Payments Plan)

Edition of March 1, 2000

1. Purpose

The purpose of this Plan is to provide additional payments from the general assets of Exxon Mobil Corporation (the “Corporation”) to certain persons. For an individual participant, the benefit payable under this Plan consists of up to three parts. The first part is a benefit based upon the person’s final average incentive compensation (“Incentive Pension Benefit”). The second part is the payment of an additional disability benefit (“Disability Retirement Benefit”). The third part is a makeup benefit based upon certain benefits otherwise promised but not received under a pension plan sponsored by a non-U.S. affiliate of the Corporation (“Overseas Makeup Benefit”).

2. Incentive Pension Benefits

2.1	Eligibility

A person is eligible to receive Incentive Pension Benefits only if the person satisfies at least one of the following requirements:

(A)

the person becomes a retiree within the meaning of the ExxonMobil Common Provisions (“retiree”);

(B)

the person terminates employment without becoming a retiree and

(1)

is at least 50 years old by the end of the month in which the termination of employment occurs;

(2)

has at least 10 years of benefit plan service (as determined under the ExxonMobil Common Provisions) at the time of the termination of employment; and

(3)

receives a benefit under the Exxon Transition Severance Plan; or,

(C)

in the case of an individual who after terminating employment from the Corporation or any of its affiliates continues employment with Infineum USA Inc. or one of its affiliates (collectively, “Infineum”), becomes a qualified plans retiree within the meaning of the ExxonMobil Common Provisions (“qualified plans retiree”).

Paragraph (B) above shall expire automatically and be of no further effect after nine months from the date of the merger of Exxon Corporation and Mobil Corporation. If, however, the merger date is other than the first day of a month, paragraph (B) shall expire as of the end of the month in which the nine-month anniversary of the merger date occurs.

2.2	Benefit Formula

(A)

in General

Except as provided in section 2.3 below with respect to former Mobil employees, as defined in the ExxonMobil Common Provisions, (“Former Mobil Employees”) the amount of a person’s Incentive Pension Benefits is determined by multiplying 1.6% of the person’s final average incentive compensation by the person’s years of pensionable service as determined under the ExxonMobil Pension Plan, reduced, but not below zero, by the equivalent amount, if any, determined with respect to the person under the ExxonMobil Key Employee Additional Payments Plan. The amount so derived is an annual benefit which is divided by 12 and paid to the person in a monthly five-year certain and life annuity.

(B)

Final Average Incentive Compensation

For the purposes of paragraph (A) above, a person’s “final average incentive compensation” shall be determined in accordance with this paragraph (B).

(1)

Calculation

(a)

In General

If a person’s eligibility for Incentive Pension Benefits arises from section 2.1(A) or (B) above, the person’s final average incentive compensation is the average of the person’s three highest annual bonus awards (including awards of zero, if any) under the Corporation’s Incentive Programs awarded on any of the five most recent annual award dates immediately preceding the person’s termination of employment.

(b)

Corporate Acquisitions

For purposes of applying paragraph (A) above to a person who commences employment with the Corporation or one of its affiliates in connection with a corporate acquisition, incentive compensation paid by the person’s former employer that is the equivalent of bonus awards payable under the Corporation’s Incentive Program may be taken into account as determined by the management of the Corporation in its sole discretion. Management shall have the discretion to exclude any and all prior employer compensation for purposes of this paragraph (b).

(2)

Infineum Participants

If a person’s eligibility for Incentive Pension Benefits arises from Section 2.1(C) above, the person’s final average incentive compensation is the sum of the three highest annual bonus awards under the Corporation’s Incentive Programs, if any, during the five-year period immediately prior to the person’s termination of employment from Infineum, divided by three.

(3)

Annual Bonus Award

(a)

Items Used in Calculation

For purposes of this paragraph (B), in determining the amount of a person’s annual bonus award, only awards granted under the short-term incentive part of the Incentive Programs as cash, unrestricted shares of stock, and bonus units are considered.

(b)

Item Excluded From Calculation

For purposes of this paragraph (B), in determining the amount of a person’s annual bonus award, an award to a person characterized by the granting authority as a special one-time bonus is disregarded, unless deemed specifically includable by the granting authority at the time of grant.

(c)

Calculation of Annual Bonus Award

If an annual bonus award is granted as unrestricted shares of stock, the fair market value of such stock at the time of the award shall be used in calculating the value of the award. If an annual bonus award is granted as bonus units, the maximum settlement value obtainable at the time of the grant shall be used in calculating the value of the award.

2.3	Benefit Formula for Former Mobil Employee

(1)

the amount of the person’s Incentive Pension Benefit otherwise determined under section 2.2 above based on all of the person’s pensionable service under the ExxonMobil Pension Plan, or

(2)

the amount determined by first calculating the person’s Overall Benefit Objective under paragraph (B) below, then subtracting therefrom the person’s Qualified Benefit Objective calculated under paragraph (C) below and the person’s nonqualified PSSP benefit, if any, determined under paragraph (D) below.

The resulting amount is expressed as a monthly five-year certain and life annuity.

(B)

Overall Benefit Objective

2.4	Lapse of Incentive Pension Benefit

The portion of any Incentive Pension Benefit deriving from a provisionally granted bonus that is subsequently annulled lapses as of the date of such annulment.

If a person who becomes a retiree also becomes entitled to long-term disability benefits under the ExxonMobil Disability Plan, the person then receives monthly Disability Retirement Benefits under this Plan.

3.2	Benefit Formula

The amount of each monthly Disability Retirement Benefit payable to a person is determined by dividing one-half of the person’s final average incentive compensation, determined under section 2.2(B) above, by 12 and deducting therefrom the normal form amount of any Incentive Pension Benefit or Overseas Makeup Benefit that the person has commenced receiving under this Plan.

3.3	Period of Payment

Payment of monthly Disability Retirement Benefits under this Plan shall commence at the time long-term disability benefits commence under the Disability Plan and shall continue as long as entitlement to long-term disability or transition benefits under the Disability Plan occurs.

(B)

Reduction for Early Commencement

If payments under this Plan, other than Disability Retirement Payments, commence prior to the month in which the person reaches age 65, they are reduced by applying the early commencement factors applicable to the person’s pension benefit under the ExxonMobil Pension Plan. For all actuarial purposes, this monthly amount paid as a five-year certain life annuity is deemed the normal form amount.

5.2	Form of Payment

(A)

In General

Payments under this Plan, other than Disability Retirement Payments and payments to designated beneficiaries, are made normally in the form of a five-year certain life annuity, but, in the sole discretion of the Corporation, may be made in any other form that is not greater than the actuarial equivalent of the normal form amount.

If a participant under this Plan is also entitled to payments comparable to the Incentive Retirement Payments or the Disability Retirement Payments for any portion of the same years of pensionable service under a plan of a service-oriented employer, as defined in the ExxonMobil Common Provisions, other than the Corporation, the amount of the Incentive Retirement Payments or Disability Retirement Payments is reduced by the respective amount of such comparable payments.
