As evidenced by this Award Agreement and under the Amended and Restates Marathon Petroleum Corporation 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), Marathon Petroleum Corporation (the “Corporation”) has granted to MICHAEL J. HENNIGAN (the “Participant”), an employee of the Corporation or a Subsidiary, on 03/01/2020 (the “Grant Date”), 1,840,000 performance units (“Performance Units”), conditioned upon the Corporation’s TSR ranking relative to the Peer Group for the Performance Cycle as established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Committee”), and as set forth herein.  The Performance Units are subject to the following terms and conditions (a) which were provided in the original Award effective March 1, 2020, and (b) the additional terms and conditions in the amendment to this Award as approved by the Committee effective March 17, 2020 (the additional terms and conditions are shown in double-underlined text and shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Participant; and this Award Agreement supersedes and replaces the original Award Agreement):


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.    Forfeiture of Performance Units if Award Not Timely Accepted.  This Award is conditioned upon and subject to the Participant accepting the Award by signing and delivering to the Corporation this Award Agreement, or otherwise electronically accepting the Award in such manner as the Committee may in its discretion determine, no later than 11 months after the Grant Date.  If the Participant does not timely accept this Award, all Performance Units subject to this Award shall be forfeited to the Corporation.  In the event of the Participant’s death or incapacitation prior to accepting the Award, the Corporation shall deem the Award as being accepted by the Participant.


3.    Determination of Payout Percentage.  As soon as administratively feasible following the close of the Performance Cycle, the Committee shall determine and certify the TSR Performance Percentile.  The final Payout Percentage will be the simple average of the Payout Percentage of the four performance periods, which are as follows:


(i)January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020;


(ii)January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021;


(iii)January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022; and


(iv)January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022.


1








The Committee shall determine the TSR Performance Percentile and the Payout Percentage for each performance period as follows:


(a)      First, the Committee shall determine the TSR Performance Percentile, and then the Payout Percentage as follows (using straight-line interpolation between the 30th percentile and the 50th percentile and between the 50th percentile and the 100th percentile:


						
	TSR Performance Percentile	Payout Percentage
	Ranked below 30th percentile
	0%
	Ranked at 30th percentile
	50%
	Ranked at 50th percentile
	100%
	Ranked at the 100th percentile
	200%




(b)     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Corporation’s TSR calculated for the performance period is negative, then the Payout Percentage for that performance period shall not exceed 100% regardless of the TSR Performance Percentile for the performance period.


(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee has the sole and absolute authority and discretion to reduce the Payout Percentage as it may deem appropriate.


4.    Vesting and Payment of Performance Units.  Unless the Participant’s right to the Performance Units is previously forfeited or vested in accordance with Paragraphs 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10, following the Committee’s determinations pursuant to Paragraph 2, the Participant shall vest in and be entitled to receive a payment equal to the Payout Value.  The Payout Value shall be distributed 75% in cash and 25% in Common Stock.  The number of shares of Common Stock distributed shall be calculated by dividing 25% of the Payout Value by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date on which the Payout Percentage is certified by the Committee, rounding down to the nearest whole share.  The remainder shall be paid in cash.  Such payments shall be made as soon as administratively feasible following the Committee’s determination under Paragraph 3 and, in any event, between January 1 and March 15 immediately following the end of the Performance Cycle.  If, in accordance with the Committee’s determination under Paragraph 3, the Payout Value is zero, the Participant shall immediately forfeit any and all rights to the Performance Units.  Upon the vesting and/or forfeiture of the Performance Units pursuant to this Paragraph 4 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 shall be satisfied in full.


5.    Termination of Employment.  Except as provided in Paragraphs 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10, if the Participant’s Employment is terminated prior to the close of the Performance Cycle, the Participant’s right to the Performance Units shall be forfeited in its entirety as of the date of such termination, and the rights of the Participant and the obligations of the Corporation under this Award Agreement shall be terminated. 


6.    Termination of Employment due to Death.  If Participant’s Employment is terminated by reason of death prior to the close of the Performance Cycle, the Participant’s right to receive the Performance Units shall vest in full as of the date of death and the Payout Percentage shall be 100%.  The payment equal to the vested value of the Performance Units shall be made in accordance with Paragraph 4 as soon as administratively feasible but in all cases no later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant’s death occurs; provided, however, that the timing of the payment shall be determined in the sole 
2








discretion of the Board and no other individual or entity shall 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.  


7.    Termination of Employment due to Retirement.  In the event of the Retirement of the Participant after nine months of the Performance Cycle have elapsed, the Participant’s Performance Units shall be settled based on the performance for the Performance Cycle and payable on a pro-rata basis as determined and certified by the Committee after the close of the Performance Cycle, as described below.  Subject to the negative discretion of the Committee, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payment equal to the product of (i) the pro-rata vesting percentage equal to the days of Participant’s Employment during the Performance Cycle divided by the total days in the Performance Cycle and (ii) the Payout Value.  Such payment shall be made as soon as administratively feasible following the Committee’s determination under Paragraph 3 and, in any event, between January 1 and March 15 immediately following the end of the Performance Cycle.  If, in accordance with the Committee’s determination under Paragraph 3, the Payout Value is zero, the Participant shall immediately forfeit any and all rights to the Performance Units.  Upon the vesting and/or forfeiture of the Performance Units pursuant to this Paragraph 7 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 shall be satisfied in full.  The death of the Participant following Retirement but prior to the close of the Performance Cycle shall have no effect on this Paragraph 7.


8.    Vesting Upon a Qualified Termination.  Notwithstanding anything in this Award to the contrary, upon a Participant’s Qualified Termination prior to the end of the Performance Cycle, the Participant’s right to receive the Performance Units, unless previously forfeited pursuant to Paragraph 5, shall vest in full and the Payout Percentage shall be determined as follows: (i) for the time period from the beginning of the Performance Cycle to the date of the Change in Control, the Payout Percentage shall be based upon actual TSR Performance Percentile; and (ii) for the time period from the date of the Change in Control to the Qualified Termination, the Payout Percentage shall be 100%.  A payment equal to the vested value of the Performance Units shall be made in accordance with Paragraph 4, except that it shall be made 100% in cash and between January 1 and March 15 immediately following the end of the Performance Cycle.  Such vesting shall satisfy the rights of the Participant and the obligations of the Corporation under this Award Agreement in full.


9.    Termination of Employment due to Mandatory Retirement. In the event the Participant’s Employment is terminated as a result of Mandatory Retirement prior to the end of the Performance Cycle, the Participant’s right to receive the Performance Units shall vest in full, and such vested Performance Units shall be settled based on the TSR Performance Percentile for the Performance Cycle. Following the Committee’s determinations pursuant to Paragraph 3, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a payment equal to the Payout Value. The payment shall be made as soon as administratively feasible following the Committee’s determination and, in any event, between January 1 and March 15 immediately following the end of the Performance Cycle.

The Participant’s services to the Corporation and its Subsidiaries are unique, extraordinary and essential to the business of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, particularly in view of the Participant’s access to the Corporation’s or its Subsidiaries’ confidential information and trade secrets.

The Participant acknowledges that each element of the Confidential Information constitutes a unique and valuable asset of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, and that certain items of the Confidential Information have been acquired from third parties upon the express condition that such items would not be disclosed to the Corporation or a Subsidiary and the officers and agents thereof other than in the ordinary course of business. The Participant acknowledges that disclosure of the Confidential Information to and/or use by anyone other than in the Corporation’s or its Subsidiaries’ ordinary course of business would result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Corporation and its Subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Participant agrees to hold the Confidential Information in the strictest secrecy, and covenants that, during the term of the Participant’s Employment or at any time thereafter, the Participant will not, without the prior written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly, allow any element of the Confidential Information to be disclosed, published or used, nor permit the Confidential Information to be discussed, published or used, either by the Participant or by any third parties, except in effecting the Participant’s duties for the Corporation and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.


(e)    The Participant agrees that in addition to the forfeiture provisions otherwise provided for in this Award Agreement, upon the Participant’s failure to satisfy in any respect of any of the conditions described in Paragraphs 11(a), (b), (c) or (d), any unvested and unpaid portion of this Award at the time of such breach shall be forfeited, and the rights of the Participant and the obligations of the Corporation under this Award Agreement shall be satisfied in full, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law.


12.    Repayment or Forfeiture Resulting from Forfeiture Event.  


(a)    If there is a Forfeiture Event either during the Participant’s Employment or within three years after termination of the Participant’s Employment, then the Committee may, but is not obligated to, cause some or all of the Participant’s outstanding Performance Units to be forfeited by the Participant.  


(b)    If there is a Forfeiture Event either during the Participant’s Employment or within three years after termination of the Participant’s Employment and a payment has previously been made in settlement of Performance Units granted under this Award Agreement, the Committee may, but is not obligated to, require that the Participant pay to the Corporation an amount in cash (the “Forfeiture Amount”) up to (but not in excess of) the amount paid in settlement of the Performance Units.


(c)     This Paragraph 12 shall apply notwithstanding any provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary and is meant to provide the Corporation with rights in addition to any other remedy which may exist in law or in equity.  This Paragraph 12 shall not apply to the Participant following the effective time of a Change in Control.


(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, the Participant agrees that the Corporation may also require that the Participant repay to the Corporation any compensation paid to the Participant under this Award Agreement, as is required by the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations thereunder or any other “clawback” provisions as required by law or by the applicable listing standards of the  exchange on which the Common Stock is listed for trading.

This holding requirement shall cease to apply upon the death, retirement or other separation from service of the Participant during the holding period.


19.    Specified Employee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, if the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code as determined by the Corporation in accordance with its established policy, any settlement of any amount described in this Award Agreement which would be a payment of deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code with respect to the Participant as a result of the Participant’s “separation from service” as defined under Section 409A of the Code (other than as a result of death) and which would otherwise be paid within six months of the Participant’s separation from service shall be paid on the date that is one day after the earlier of (i) the date that is six months after the Participant’s separation from service or (ii) the date that otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

(b)    If a member of the Peer Group sells, spins-off, or disposes of a portion of its business, then such Peer Group company will remain in the Peer Group for the Performance Cycle unless such disposition(s) results in the disposition of more than 50% of such company’s total assets during the Performance Cycle.
