PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
SYNERGY CAPTURE FOR 2019-2021 PERFORMANCE CYCLE
As evidenced by this Award Agreement and under the Amended and Restated Marathon Petroleum Corporation 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), MARATHON PETROLEUM CORPORATION (the “Corporation”) grants to [NAME] (the “Participant”), an employee of the Corporation or a Subsidiary, on [DATE] (the “Grant Date”), [NUMBER] performance units (“Performance Units”), conditioned upon the Corporation’s achievement of synergies captured (“Synergies Captured”) as established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Committee”), and as adjusted and as subject to the following terms and conditions set forth herein.
1. Relationship to the Plan. This grant of Performance Units is subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan and administrative interpretations thereunder, if any, that have been adopted by the Committee. Except as otherwise defined in this Award Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the same meanings given to them under the Plan. To the extent that any provision of this Award Agreement conflicts with the express terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control and, if necessary, the applicable provisions of this Award Agreement shall be hereby deemed amended so as to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan. References to the Participant also include the heirs or other legal representatives of the Participant.
2. Performance Periods and Determination of Payout Percentage; Enhanced Determination for Third Performance Period.
(a) Performance Periods and Determination of Payout Percentage. Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this Paragraph 2, one-third of the Performance Units shall be subject to vesting, determination and payment for each of the first, second and third “Performance Periods”, the duration of which and the Payout Percentage for the vested portion of the Performance Units is set forth in each table below. As soon as administratively feasible following the completion of a Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the Payout Percentage for that Performance Period using straight-line interpolation between the “Threshold” and the “Target” and between the Target and the “Maximum” (each as specified in each table below):
First Performance Period - October 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 | |
Synergy Capture Performance | Payout Percentage |
Synergies Captured below $240,000,000 | 0% |
Synergies Captured of $240,000,000 (Threshold) | 50% |
Synergies Captured of $480,000,000 (Target) | 100% |
Synergies Captured of $960,000,000 (Maximum) | 200% |
Second Performance Period - January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 | |
Synergy Capture Performance | Payout Percentage |
Synergies Captured below $355,000,000 | 0% |
Synergies Captured of $355,000,000 (Threshold) | 50% |
Synergies Captured of $710,000,000 (Target) | 100% |
Synergies Captured of $1,420,000,000 (Maximum) | 200% |

Third Performance Period - January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 | |
Synergy Capture Performance | Payout Percentage |
Synergies Captured below $500,000,000 | 0% |
Synergies Captured of $500,000,000 (Threshold) | 50% |
Synergies Captured of $1,000,000,000 (Target) | 100% |
Synergies Captured of $2,000,000,000 (Maximum) | 200% |
The Synergies Captured amounts for each Performance Period are cumulative, annual amounts.
The Committee has the sole and absolute authority to determine such amounts, which determination will be made in the January following the completion of the applicable Performance Period, or such other date as the Committee may determine and otherwise as soon as possible after the completion of the applicable Performance Period.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee has sole and absolute authority and discretion to reduce the Payout Percentage for any Performance Period as it may deem appropriate.
(b) Enhanced Determination for Third Performance Period. If the Synergies Captured determined for the third Performance Period exceed the Target, the Committee shall determine the Payout Percentage for that Performance Period as otherwise provided in Paragraph 2(a), but with the number of Performance Units determined as the greater of (i) the number of Performance Units determined under the default rule in Paragraph 2(a) or (ii) the number of Performance Units determined using the following formula:
(PUatGD x Payout Percentage) - (PUPP1 + PUPP2)
and where for purposes of the formula “PUatGD” means the number of Performance Units awarded on the Grant Date, “Payout Percentage” means the Payout Percentage determined for the third Performance Period, “PUPP1” means the number of Performance Units determined for the first Performance Period, and “PUPP2” means the number of Performance Units determined for the second Performance Period, and where for purposes of the number of Performance Units determined for each of PUPP1 and PUPP2 is the product of the number of Performance Units allocable to the Performance Period multiplied by the Payout Percentage determined for the corresponding Performance Period.
(c) Enhanced Determination for Accelerated Vesting. If, as determined by the Committee, the Synergies Captured at any time prior to the end of the third Performance Period reaches or exceeds the Maximum for the third Performance Period (the “Maximum Synergies Captured Date”), the Committee shall at that time determine the final Payout Percentage as 200%, but with the number of Performance Units determined using the following formula:
(PUatGD x 200%) - (PUPP1 (if applicable) + PUPP2 (if applicable))
and where for purposes of the formula “PUatGD” means the number of Performance Units awarded on the Grant Date, “PUPP1” means the number of Performance Units determined for the first Performance Period, if applicable, and “PUPP2” means the number of Performance Units determined for the second Performance Period, if applicable, and where for purposes of the number of Performance Units determined for each of PUPP1 and PUPP2 is the product of the number of Performance Units allocable to the Performance Period multiplied by the Payout Percentage determined for the corresponding Performance Period. In the event this Paragraph 2(c) applies, the current Performance Period will be the final Performance Period and will be deemed to have ended on the Maximum Synergies Captured Date, and all remaining future Performance Periods will not apply.

3. Vesting and Payment of Performance Units. Unless the Participant’s right to the Performance Units is previously forfeited or vested in accordance with Paragraphs 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8, the Participant shall vest in the Performance Units allocable to a Performance Period and be entitled to receive a payment equal to the Payout Value on the date the Performance Period ends. The Payout Value on the vested Performance Units for a Performance Period shall be paid to the Participant in cash as soon as administratively feasible following the Committee’s determination under Paragraph 2 and, in any event, between the January 1 and March 15 immediately following the end of the applicable Performance Period. If, in accordance with the Committee’s determination under Paragraph 2, the Payout Value for a Performance Period is zero, the Participant shall immediately forfeit any and all rights to the Performance Units otherwise allocable to that Performance Period. Upon the vesting and/or forfeiture of the Performance Units for a Performance Period pursuant to this Paragraph 3 and the making of the related cash payment, if any, the rights of the Participant and the obligations of the Corporation under this Award Agreement for that Performance Period’s allocable Performance Units shall be satisfied in full.
4. Participant’s Death During Employment. If Participant dies during Employment and prior to the close of the third Performance Period, Participant shall vest at the Target Synergy Capture Performance level with respect to the Performance Units allocable to all uncompleted Performance Periods as at the Participant’s date of death, and the Payout Value on such vested Performance Units shall be paid within 74 days of the Participant’s death, provided, however, that the timing of the payment within such 74-day period shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and the Participant shall not directly or indirectly designate the taxable year of payment. Such vesting shall satisfy the rights of the Participant and the obligations of the Corporation under this Award Agreement in full.
5. Termination of Employment. If Participant’s Employment is terminated by the Corporation or a Subsidiary or by the Participant on or after the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date and prior to the completion of a Performance Period, in each case other than for Cause, and in each case subject to (i) Paragraph 7’s provisions relating to termination of Employment after the occurrence of a Change in Control and (ii) the Participant’s satisfaction of Paragraph 8’s conditions precedent, the Participant will vest in a pro-rated portion of the Performance Units allocable to the uncompleted Performance Period, with such pro-ration determined on the basis of number of full months the Participant was in Employment status during the Performance Period divided by the number of full months in the Performance Period and be entitled to receive a Payout Value for such Performance Period. Payment on the vested Performance Units shall be made as otherwise provided under Paragraph 3 and, in any event, between the January 1 and March 15 immediately following the end of the applicable Performance Period. Upon the vesting of the Performance Units pursuant to this Paragraph 5 and the making of the related cash payment, if any, any remaining unvested Performance Units shall immediately be forfeited, and the rights of the Participant and the obligations of the Corporation under this Award Agreement shall be satisfied in full. The death of the Participant following the termination of the Participant’s Employment shall have no effect on the operation of this Paragraph 5.
6. Termination of Employment due to Mandatory Retirement. In the event Participant’s Employment is terminated as a result of Mandatory Retirement prior to the completion of the third Performance Period, and subject to the Participant’s satisfaction of Paragraph 8’s conditions precedent, the Participant’s Performance Units for each remaining uncompleted Performance Period shall be settled based on the Payout Percentage determined for the applicable Performance Period, and the Participant will vest on the payment date for each remaining uncompleted Performance Period as otherwise provided in Paragraph 3 and, if applicable, Paragraph 7 and be entitled to receive a payment equal to the Payout Value determined for each such uncompleted Performance Period. The payment shall be made as otherwise provided in Paragraph 3 and, if applicable, Paragraph 7. Upon the vesting of the Performance Units for all Performance Periods pursuant to this Paragraph 6 and the making of any related cash payment(s), if any, the rights of the Participant and the obligations of the Corporation under this Award Agreement shall be satisfied in full.

7. Treatment upon a Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, this Award Agreement will either be (i) to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code in the event any portion of this Award constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, paid within 12 months following the date the Change in Control occurred, or (ii) assumed or continued by the surviving or acquiring corporation. If this Award Agreement is not assumed or continued by the surviving or acquiring corporation, Participant shall vest in the Performance Units allocable to each uncompleted Performance Period at the greater of the Target Synergy Capture Performance level or the achievement of actual Synergy Capture Performance determined as of the date of the Change in Control. If this Award Agreement is assumed or continued the surviving or acquiring corporation, it will be converted into a time-based award with the number of Performance Units subject to the award equal to the greater of the achievement of the Target Synergy Capture Performance level or the achievement of actual Synergy Capture Performance for each Performance Period that is uncompleted on the date of the Change of Control. The assumed and converted award will then vest upon Participant’s continued employment through each applicable Performance Period as otherwise provided in this Award Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding Paragraph 5, upon Participant’s termination of Employment prior to the end of the third Performance Period and prior to the second anniversary of the date the Change in Control occurred, any such assumed and converted award will immediately vest in full and shall be paid to Participant within 30 days of the date of Participant’s termination of Employment.
