Article II. Eligibility



Any Marathon Petroleum Company LLC employee in compensation Grade 19 and above or Marathon

Petroleum Company LLC Deferred Compensation Plan (MPC-DCP).




Article III. Deferral of Compensation



Each Participant may elect prior to the first day they become eligible to participate in the
Plan, and thereafter, the first day of any Plan Year, to defer up to 20% of their Compensation (in
1% increments). An election to defer compensation shall be effective as of the first day of Plan
participation, or thereafter, the first day of the Plan Year following the election, and shall
remain in effect for the remainder of the Plan Year.




Article IV. Other Contributions



During each year that an employee is eligible to participate in the MPC-DCP, any Thrift Plan
Company match that under the law is excluded from the Thrift Plan would be allocated to the
MPC-DCP. In addition, any Thrift Plan Company match that would otherwise be attributable to the
deferred compensation amounts not covered by the qualified Thrift Plan would be allocated to the
MPC-DCP. The actual MPC-DCP employee elected contributions, however, are not matched by the
Company.



New hires who are eligible for this Plan and, who, except for the provisions governing the Thrift
Plan’s “waiting period,” would otherwise be eligible to participate in the Thrift Plan are eligible
to receive a Deferred Compensation Plan accrual equal to 6% of gross pay (as defined in the Thrift
Plan) during the Thrift Plan’s waiting period. This accrual is subject to the terms and conditions




MPC LLC Deferred Compensation Plan

of this Plan and shall cease to the extent that upon the first date of participation eligibility in
the Thrift Plan the employee is eligible under the law for Thrift Plan Company matching
contributions.




Article V. Accounting





	5.1	 	Allocation to Participant’s Account
	 
	 	 	The total amount of the deferred compensation shall be credited to the Participant’s Account
as of the date such amount would otherwise have been paid to such Participant.
	 
	5.2	 	Earnings
	 
	 	 	A Participant may select from a list of investment options that will be the same as the
investment options offered and modified from time to time under the terms of the qualified
Marathon Oil Company Thrift Plan. Earnings, gains and losses received on the investments
will be credited to the Participant’s Account on a daily basis. The Plan Administrator
shall develop such accounting procedures as it, in its sole discretion, deems advisable to
properly reflect the value attributable to the Participant’s Account.





Article VI. Vesting



A Participant’s elected contributions shall always be immediately vested. Other contributions
as defined under Article IV are vested as currently provided under the terms and conditions of the
Marathon Oil Company Thrift Plan. Irrespective of the preceding, a Participant’s Account shall be
subject to any claims for damages the Company may have due to the Participant’s negligence, willful
misconduct or fraud while in the Company’s employment. In addition, the Participant’s account may
be reduced by any amount resulting from any outstanding receivables, debts, loans or other
obligations owed to the Company.




Article VII. Distribution of Benefits



A Participant shall be entitled to a cash distribution under the MPC-DCP as provided in this
Article VII.





	7.1	 	General Rule
	 
	 	 	Upon termination of employment from MPC or any Affiliated Company for any reason other than
a transfer or retirement, a lump sum distribution is permitted.
	 
	 	 	Effective for terminations on or after January 1, 2006, with respect to any portion of a
Participant’s Account that was unvested as of December 31, 2004, or was accrued after
December 31, 2004, a Participant may receive a lump sum distribution or annual installments
in accordance with the distribution election procedures established by the Plan
Administrator. If no election is made, the separated Participant’s Account will be paid as
a lump sum distribution.

	 	 	Employees reassigned to the Pilot Travel Center LLC will be permitted to continue to
maintain their account, with no distribution required or permitted solely due to the
reassignment to Pilot.






	7.2	 	Retirement
	 
	 	 	Upon Retirement, a Participant may receive a lump sum distribution or annual installments
over a period not to exceed 10 years. Effective January 1, 2006, if no election is made,
the retired Participant’s Account will be paid in a lump sum distribution.
	 
	7.3	 	Death
	 
	 	 	Upon the death of a Participant, a lump sum distribution is permitted to the Participant’s
beneficiary.
	 
	7.4	 	Class Year System
	 
	 	 	Effective January 1, 2006, the “class year” distribution option is no longer available. For
“class year” elections made prior to January 1, 2006, separate records will be maintained
for each Account according to the Salary Deferrals and investment earnings and losses
attributable to each Plan Year that the individual participates in the Plan. Class Year
payouts shall commence as soon as administratively practicable in the year specified in the
Salary Deferral election.
	 
	7.5	 	Earnings on Unpaid Balances
	 
	 	 	In the event a Participant is entitled to receive a distribution, the Participant’s Account
shall be credited with earnings pursuant to the provisions set forth in Article V.
	 
	7.6	 	Request for Benefits
	 
	 	 	Any person claiming a benefit under the DCP shall present the request to the Plan
Administrator in writing, who shall respond as soon as may be feasible.





Article VIII. Funding



Benefits under this MPC-DCP shall be paid from the general assets of the Company. This
MPC-DCP shall be administered as an unfunded plan which is maintained primarily for the purpose of
providing supplemental retirement compensation “for a select group of management or highly
compensated employees” as set forth in Sections 201(2), 301(3), and 401(a)(1) of the ERISA, and is
not intended to meet the qualification requirements of Section 401 of the Code. Any assets set
aside by the Company for the purpose of paying benefits under this MPC-DCP shall not be deemed to
be the property of the Participant and shall be subject to claims of creditors of the Company. No
Participant or other person shall have any claim against, right to, or security or other interest
in, any fund, account or asset of the Company from which any payment under the MPC-DCP may be made.
Any use of the words “contributions” or “contribute,” or any similar phrase, shall not require
actual contributions or funding of this MPC-DCP and is only used for convenience when describing
the deferral activities of this MPC-DCP.

Article IX. Plan Administration





	9.1	 	General Duty
	 
	 	 	The Marathon Petroleum Company LLC Deferred Compensation Plan shall be administered by the
Plan Administrator who shall be appointed by the Company and shall serve in such capacity
until resignation or removal by the Company. It shall be the principal duty of the Plan
Administrator to determine that the provisions of the MPC-DCP are carried out in accordance
with its terms, for the exclusive benefit of persons entitled to participate in the MPC-DCP.
	 
	9.2	 	Plan Administrator’s General Powers, Rights and Duties
	 
	 	 	The Plan Administrator shall have full power to administer the MPC-DCP in all of its
details, subject to the applicable requirements of law. For this purpose, the Plan
Administrator is, as respects the rights and obligations of all parties with an interest in
this MPC-DCP, given the powers, rights and duties specifically stated elsewhere in the
MPC-DCP, or any other document, and in addition is given, but not limited to, the following
powers, rights and duties:






	 	a.	 	to determine all questions arising under the MPC-DCP, including the power to
determine the rights or eligibility of Employees or Participants and any other persons,
and the amounts of their contributions or benefits under the MPC-DCP, to interpret the
MPC-DCP, and to remedy ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions;
	 
	 	b.	 	to adopt such rules of procedure and regulations, including the establishment
of any claims procedure that may be required by law, as in its opinion may be necessary
for the proper and efficient administration of the MPC-DCP and as are consistent with
the MPC-DCP;
	 
	 	c.	 	to direct payments or distributions from the MPC-DCP in accordance with the
provisions of the MPC-DCP;
	 
	 	d.	 	to develop such information as may be required by it for tax or other purposes
as respects the MPC-DCP; and
	 
	 	e.	 	to employ agents, attorneys, accountants or other persons (who also may be
employed by the Company), and allocate or delegate to them such powers as the Plan
Administrator may consider necessary or advisable to properly carry out the
administration of the MPC-DCP.






The Plan Administrator’s decision in any matter involving the interpretation and application
of this MPC-DCP shall be final and binding. In the event the Plan Administrator would have
to decide any issue under the MPC-DCP which could affect the form or timing of the payment
of deferred compensation under the MPC-DCP, then the Company shall make that decision.




	9.3	 	Nondiscriminatory Exercise of Authority





MPC LLC Deferred Compensation Plan





5









 









Any discretionary acts taken under this Plan by the Plan Administrator shall be uniform in
their nature, shall be applicable to all members similarly situated, and shall be
administered in a nondiscriminatory manner in accordance with the provisions of the Code and
ERISA.




However, such preceding requirement shall not prohibit the Plan Administrator from valuing
the Account of a Participant at a different date or time in order to facilitate a
distribution, nor from taking other actions which may be different with respect to a
Participant so long as with respect to a particular action, right, or privilege granted by
the MPC-DCP or established by the Plan Administrator, the Participant is treated in a
similar fashion.




	9.4	 	Indemnification of Administrator
	 
	 	 	The Company agrees to indemnify and to defend to the fullest extent permitted by law any
Employee serving as the Plan Administrator against all liabilities, damages, costs and
expenses (including attorney’s fees and amounts paid in settlement of any claims approved by
the Company) occasioned by any act of omission to act in connection with the MPC-DCP, if
such act of omission is or was in good faith.
	 
	9.5	 	Information Required by Plan Administrator
	 
	 	 	The Plan Administrator shall obtain such data and information as deemed necessary or
desirable in order to administer the MPC-DCP. The records of the Company as to an
Employee’s or Participant’s period or periods of employment, termination of employment and
the reason therefor, leave of absence, re-employment and earnings will be conclusive on all
persons unless determined by independent agents or delegates of the Plan Administrator to be
incorrect. Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the MPC-DCP also shall
furnish the Plan Administrator with such evidence, data or information, as the Plan
Administrator considers necessary or desirable to administer the MPC-DCP.
	 
	9.6	 	Claims and Review Procedures






	 	a.	 	Claims Procedure. If a Participant believes any rights or benefits are being
improperly denied under the MPC-DCP, such Participant may file a claim in writing with
the Plan Administrator. If any such claim is wholly or partially denied, the Plan
Administrator shall notify such Participant of its decision in writing. Such
notification shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by such
Participant and shall contain (i) specific reasons for the denial, (ii) specific
reference to pertinent MPC-DCP provisions, (iii) a description of any additional
material or information necessary for the Participant to perfect such claim and an
explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) information as
to the steps to be taken if the Participant wishes to submit a request for review.
Such notification shall be given within 90 days after the claim is received by the Plan
Administrator (or within 180 days, if special circumstances require an extension of
time for processing the claim, and if written notice of such extension and
circumstances is given to such Participant within the initial 90 day period.) If such
notification is not given within such period the claim shall be considered denied as of
the last day of such period and such Participant may request a review of his claim.

	 	b.	 	Review Procedure. Within 60 days after the date on which a Participant
receives a written notice of a denied claim (or, if applicable, within 60 days after
the date on which such denial is considered to have occurred) such Participant (or the
Participant’s duly authorized representative) may (i) file a written request with the
Plan Administrator for a review of his denied claim and of pertinent documents, and
(ii) submit written issues and comments to the Plan Administrator. The Plan
Administrator shall notify such Participant of its decision in writing. Such
notification shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by such
Participant and shall contain specific reasons for the decision as well as specific
references to pertinent MPC-DCP provision. The decision on review shall be made within
60 days after the request for review is received by the Plan Administrator (or within
120 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the
request, such as an election by the Plan Administrator to hold a hearing, and if
written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the
initial 60 day period). If the decision on review is not made within such period, the
claim shall be considered denied.






	9.7	 	Furnishing Information or Providing Other Reports
	 
	 	 	The Plan Administrator shall provide Employees with: (a) a description of the MPC-DCP, and
(b) such other information or notices as required by the ERISA or other applicable law.
After payment by the Employee of a reasonable charge, which charge may be waived by the Plan
Administrator, the Plan Administrator shall provide the Employee with a copy of this MPC-DCP
upon written request by the Employee. The Plan Administrator shall also file with
government authorities any reports or returns required.
	 
	9.8	 	Account Statement
	 
	 	 	Participants shall receive statements at least annually of their Account reflecting amounts
deferred and any adjustments due to gain or loss resulting from distributions and any
allocable expenses. The Plan Administrator may establish other dates to provide additional
statements.





Article X. Modification and Discontinuance



Marathon Petroleum Company LLC reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the Plan at
any time, in whole or in part, in such manner as it shall determine. Included in the Company’s
right to amend, suspend or terminate is the Company’s right at any time to no longer permit any
additional participants under the MPC-DCP, to cease making Company allocations, and to distribute
all Account balances upon MPC-DCP termination. The Plan Administrator may promulgate rules and
procedures from time to time to carry out the provisions of this Article X. However, in no event
shall the Company have the right to eliminate or reduce any benefit, which has been vested or
become forfeitable under the MPC-DCP, pursuant to Article VI.



In addition to the other methods of amending Marathon Petroleum Company’s employee benefit plans,
practices, and policies (hereinafter referred to as ‘MPC Employee Benefit Plans’) which have been
authorized, or may in the future be authorized by the Board, the Company’s Vice

President of Human Resources may approve the following types of amendments to MPC Employee Benefit
Plans:





	 	i.	 	With the opinion of counsel, technical amendments required by applicable laws and
regulations;
	 
	 	ii.	 	With the opinion of counsel, amendments that are clarifications of plan provisions;
	 
	 	iii.	 	Amendments in connection with a signed definitive agreement governing a merger,
acquisition or divestiture such that, for MPC Employee Benefit Plans, needed changes are
specifically described in the definitive agreement, or if not specifically described in the
definitive agreement, the needed changes are in keeping with the intent of the definitive
agreement;
	 
	 	iv.	 	Amendments in connection with changes that have a minimal cost impact (as defined
below) to the Company; and
	 
	 	v.	 	With the opinion of counsel, amendments in connection with changes resulting from state
or federal legislative actions that have a minimal cost impact (as defined below) to the
Company.




For purposes of the above, “minimal cost impact” is defined as an annual cost impact to the Company
per MPC Employee Benefit Plan case that does not exceed the greater of (i) an amount that is less
than one-half of one percent of its documented total cost (including administrative costs) for the
previous calendar year, or (ii) $100,000.




Article XI. General Provisions





	11.1	 	Notices
	 
	 	 	Each Participant entitled to benefits under the MPC-DCP must file in writing with the Plan
Administrator such Participant’s post office address and each change of post office address.
Any communication, statement or notice addressed to any such Participant at the last post
office address filed with the Plan Administrator will be binding upon such person for all
purposes of the MPC-DCP, and the Plan Administrator shall not be obligated to search for or
ascertain the whereabouts of any Participant. Any notice or document required to be given
or filed with the Plan Administrator shall be considered as given or filed if delivered or
mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, to Rodney P. Nichols, P.O. Box 1, Findlay, Ohio
45839-0001.
	 
	11.2	 	Employment Rights
	 
	 	 	The MPC-DCP does not constitute a contract of employment, and participation in the Plan will
not give any Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company nor any right
or claim to any benefit under the MPC-DCP, unless such right or claim has specifically
accrued under the terms of the MPC-DCP.
	 
	11.3	 	Interests Not Transferable





MPC LLC Deferred Compensation Plan




8









 









	 	 	Except as may be required by law, including the federal income and employment tax
withholding provisions of the Code, or of an applicable state’s income tax act, the
interests of Participants and their beneficiaries under this MPC-DCP are not subject to the
claims of their creditors and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily sold, transferred,
alienated, assigned or encumbered. The preceding shall not preclude the Company from
asserting any claim for damages or for any debt that the Company may have with respect to
the Participant.






	11.4	 	No Interest or Earnings
	 
	 	 	No interest or earnings of any type shall accrue, be credited or be payable on any amounts
that are credited to a Participant’s Account under this MPC-DCP other than as specified in
Article V, Section 5.2.
	 
	11.5	 	Facility of Payment
	 
	 	 	When a Participant entitled to benefits under the MPC-DCP is under a legal disability, or,
in the Plan Administrator’s opinion, is in any way incapacitated so as to be unable to
manage their financial affairs, the Plan Administrator may direct that the benefits to which
such Participant otherwise would be entitled shall be made to such Participant’s legal
representative, or to such other person or persons as the Plan Administrator may direct the
application of the benefits for the benefit of such Participant. Any payment made in
accordance with such provisions of this Article XI, Section 11.5 shall be a full and
complete discharge of any liability for such payment.
	 
	11.6	 	Controlling State Law
	 
	 	 	To the extent not superseded by the laws of the United States, the laws of the State of Ohio
shall be controlling in all matters relating to the MPC-DCP.
	 
	11.7	 	Severability
	 
	 	 	In case any provisions of the MPC-DCP shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, such
illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the MPC-DCP, and the
MPC-DCP shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provisions had never
been set forth in the MPC-DCP.
	 
	11.8	 	Statutory References
	 
	 	 	All references to the Code and ERISA include reference to any comparable or succeeding
provisions of any legislation, which amends, supplements or replaces such section or
subsection.
	 
	11.9	 	Headings
	 
	 	 	Section headings and titles are for reference only. In the event of a conflict between a
title and the content of a section, the content of the section shall control.
	 
	11.10	 	Non-taxable Benefits

It is the intention of the Company that this MPC-DCP meet all requirements of the Code so
that the benefits provided be non-taxable during the period of deferral and until actual
distribution is made.
